I, the fighting party, became Xiaozhi's golden finger

After the game, Xiaozhi stood in the championship position as expected to receive the award. Damaranchi walked towards Xiaozhi with the glittering trophy. He raised the trophy and handed it to Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi took the trophy with a proud and happy smile on his face. He raised the trophy above his head and showed it to the audience, which triggered a warm applause and cheers.

Damaranchi also congratulated Xiaozhi and said, "Xiaozhi, you and your partners have shown an excellent performance and deserve this championship trophy. You are an excellent trainer, and your strategy and tacit understanding in this game are impressive. Congratulations, and I hope you will continue to succeed in your future adventures."

Xiaozhi nodded gratefully and bowed to the audience again to thank them. He knew that this victory belonged not only to him, but also to his partners. This victory will inspire him to keep working hard and pursue more challenges and adventures.

The entire competition venue was filled with an atmosphere of joy and excitement. This moment will always remain in the hearts of the audience and Xiaozhi, becoming a beautiful memory.

At this moment, a group of reporters rushed over, holding up cameras and video cameras, taking pictures and interviewing Xiaozhi. The flash kept flashing, emitting bright light.

The reporters quickly surrounded Xiaozhi and asked him about his way of winning, training experience and future plans.

"Xiaozhi, I would like to ask who is the strongest Pokémon in your team, Pikachu or Charizard?"

"Xiaozhi, where will you travel next? Are you going to study in Kanto, or go to other regions to challenge the league?"

"Xiaozhi..."

Xiaozhi was a little flustered and didn't know how to answer for a while. He felt the enthusiasm and attention from the media and the audience, and after thinking about some things, he answered a few words lightly.

As for the existence of Gengar, Xiaozhi said it openly. Gengar also embarrassedly got out of Xiaozhi's shadow and greeted everyone present politely.

————End of the Closing Ceremony Day 2 Pallet Town————

The backyard of the Oak Research Institute was decorated very lively and cheerful. Balloons and streamers decorated the entire venue, and the aroma of food and drinks filled the air.

The residents couldn't wait to sit around the table, looking forward to enjoying this celebratory banquet.

Professor Oak happily raised his juice glass, toasted the residents around him, and gave a brief speech:

"Today we gather together to celebrate the outstanding performance of our trainers in Pallet Town - Xiaozhi (champion), Xiaomao (runner-up), and Xiaoye (third place/top four) in the Quartz Conference! Their achievements make us proud. Thank them for bringing glory to Pallet Town, let us celebrate them together!"

The residents cheered and raised their glasses to congratulate the two.

Xiaozhi and Xiaoye (yes, Xiaoye, Xiaomao will appear later) smiled and greeted everyone, then sat down with everyone to enjoy this sumptuous celebration banquet.

Everyone exchanged their impressions and feelings about the game, sharing their joy and pride.

Xiaozhi looked around but didn't see Xiaomao: "By the way, where did Xiaomao go?"

"Oh, you missed me so soon?" Xiaomao suddenly appeared and said to Xiaozhi with a smile.

Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief, walked towards Xiaomao excitedly, patted his shoulder and said: "Of course, everyone is celebrating our victory, how can you miss such a good celebration?"

At this time, Xiaozhi's eyes accidentally glanced behind Xiaomao and found that there was an extra Toucan.

"Xiaomao, if I remember correctly, you seem to have only one Toucan, right? When did you capture this Toucan?"

After hearing this, Xiaomao smiled and replied: "Yes, in fact, this Toucan was just captured when I came back. It is a wild Toucan, and it happened to be in line with my one, so I captured it." (In the original work, Xiaomao would capture multiple Pokémon of the same kind.)

However, this Toucan seemed to have a grudge against Xiaozhi and liked to peck his head. Seeing this, Pikachu defeated it with an electric shock, and Xiaozhi realized that this Toucan was the Spearow from the past.

Xiaoxia came over and was more or less angry when she learned that this Toucan was the murderer who caused her bicycle to be damaged. Seeing this, the Toucan flapped its wings and left.

"Xiaozhi, have you decided where to travel next?" Xiaoxia asked Xiaozhi beside her about his future purpose while eating food.

Xiaogang stood beside Xiaozhi without knowing when, and gave his own suggestion: "You can travel to the Seven Islands of Kanto or the Johto region."

Xiaozhi was silent for a while,Facing the questions from Misty and Brock, it seems that he has no clear plan for the purpose of the trip ahead. He is thinking about his next decision, but has not yet answered.

At this moment, Professor Oak came over and asked Xiaozhi if he was interested in going to the Orange Islands.

"Orange Islands? What's going on there? Has Xiaomao been there?" Xiaozhi did not agree immediately, but asked about the local situation and whether Xiaomao had been there.

Xiaomao shrugged and said that he was going to the Seven Islands to train his Pokémon and wait to go to the Johto region to challenge the alliance there later.

Professor Oak sighed deeply at the same time, with a helpless expression on his face: "The Orange Islands are located directly south of the Seven Islands. You can take the airship there. The main purpose of this time is to help get a Poké Ball. The Poké Ball cannot be transmitted by the teleporter. So I have to ask you to go and get it."

"Oh! Orange Islands! Xiaozhi, I think we can go there." For some reason, Xiaogang suddenly became excited, even more yearning for the Orange Islands than the person involved.

(Yeah, beach, bikini, big sister.)

Ash looked at Brock's sudden excitement, and a little passion for adventure ignited in his heart.

Ash smiled and said to Brock: "It seems that you have special expectations for the Orange Islands, Brock! Since Professor Oak needs our help, let's go to the Orange Islands together to complete the mission."

Miss also became excited. She said: "Yes, it is very important for us trainers to appreciate the charm of new places, and there must be many water Pokémon there!"

Ash couldn't help but cheer: "Then, let's go to the Orange Islands!"

'The Orange Islands... are quite interesting. '

Li Qingfeng smiled. The Orange Islands are now just an experience pack for Ash, and he can beat them casually. However, he is very concerned about Lugia.
