Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

After the quarter-finals, all players were given a day off.

After a brief reshuffle of the lineup, the final four were determined to be Xiaozhi, Youshu, Manchong, and Haoyu.

"Wait a minute, what the hell is this Haoyu?" The night before the competition, Xiaozhi said while pointing at the picture on the computer while waiting to be grouped.

What can I say about this guy? Average looks, average lineup, average name...

Why don't you call yourself Zhang Wei...

"As the name suggests, his ability is also average, but... he has good luck and has lived until now~" Master Mao curled his lips.

"Hmph, useless thing." Shinji, who attended the combat meeting today, sneered.

Ding~ Just at this moment, Xiaozhi's phone rang. It was Yushu who went to the Pokémon Center to check the grouping.

"Long live≧▽≦! Brother Zhi, see you in the finals!"

Here are the group pictures:

Youshu vs Haoyu

Full Charge vs Xiaozhi

"Fully charged..." Xiaozhi looked conflicted. To some extent, this person was his predecessor.

"Don't worry, I've done some research. Although this person has a number of very high-level elves among his registered elves, he has never used them." Shinji said immediately.

Xiao Mao looked at Shinji with admiration. These two people actually have very compatible personalities and always like to plan ahead before doing anything.

"Lizard King, Fiona, Magneto, Gardevoir, Dragonfly, and Garchomp. This is his entire lineup for this tournament." Xiao Mao gently slid the mouse and read out the fully charged new lineup.

The corner of Xiaozhi's mouth twitched when he heard this, and Shinji looked even more incredulous.

"This was developed over a single season?! Impossible!"

Xiaozhi rolled his eyes at Shinji and waved his hand to signal him to calm down: "It's entirely possible. You know, he is a trial candidate personally recognized by Professor Oak. Trial training and the like are commonplace for him."

This guy first fought hard at the two most difficult gyms, then quickly cleared them all, and finally used all the remaining time for special training...

"That's too exaggerated, he's a hard-working guy..." Shinji said, shaking his head in disbelief.

"So, what do you think, Xiaozhi?" Makoto looked at Xiaomao.

"The Hoenn Big Three, they must appear, and then King Swallow, Absol, and Hyōgen!" Xiaozhi reported his deployment seriously.

"They are all elves from the Hoenn region?" Xiao Mao said incredulously: "You are not the kind of person who acts on impulse..."

Xiaozhi smiled slightly, "This is what I, Manchong, and Yushu agreed on. We have to fight it out fairly."

"Tsk tsk, you're excited again." Chengzi smiled as if he was used to it.

Xiao Mao frowned, and finally turned his face away: "It's up to you~"

Only Shinji stared at Xiaozhi: "A lion would use all its strength to fight a rabbit, but it doesn't use high-level Pokémon. I don't understand."

"Then slowly understand it." Xiaozhi patted Shinji's shoulder: "As long as your Pokémon has not reached the maximum level, there will always be Pokémon with higher levels than yours.

The determination to win, the trust in one's own spirit, and the bond of overcoming powerful enemies together.

This is not spiritualism, but a fact. You may not understand it, so just read it slowly.

When you understand, it will be time for me to fight you."

Shinji frowned, he was still in the stage of pursuing powerful Pokémon and really couldn't understand Xiaozhi's behavior.

……

The next day, Caiyou Sports Field was bathed in a golden morning light.

Spectators from the main venue entered from all directions. The top four contestants stood together under the torch.

All kinds of cheers mixed into a deafening cheer that made people's hearts surge.

After the entire entrance ceremony was over, the first match of the semi-finals, the duel between Xiaozhi and Manchong, officially began!

Warm applause continued to ring out, and Xiaozhi and Manchong shook hands and saluted in the center of the ring.

On the podium, Mikoli sat with Daigo in a carefree manner, beaming with joy.

"They are all talented people~the hope for the future of Hoenn." Mikoli said with a relaxed smile.

“Yes, there are so many aspiring young people, one is the champion, one is the general assistant, and one is the backup~” Daigo also smiled handsomely, which made the four heavenly kings on the side stand on end.

The last time Daigo smiled like this was the day he lost the championship to Mikoli...

The host uncle was also dressed in a suit today, and his hair was combed as if it had been licked by Kentaro.

The chief referee at the side glanced at the old fellow, and the corner of his eye couldn't help but twitch: "Why are you competing with Daigo...his toes are more graceful than yours."

"Ladies and gentlemen!" With these simple words from the host, the heat of the venue rose to a new level.

“Thank you for your enthusiastic support, but I know that no one is here to see me.

Next, please welcome the top four contestants to make their debut! "

The press corps on both sides of the venue set up their cameras and through the high-power zoom cameras, a green-haired boy in white clothes and a boy wearing a blue and white baseball cap appeared from the player channel.

Pikachu and Xiaozhi raised their heads and gave the camera a confident smile.

"Hey~ You know what, Xiaozhi is a kid who seems to have light all over him. Look at my Serena, she can't take her eyes off him." Aunt Sachi joked.

"Mom~" Serena blushed: "Xiaozhi is very handsome..."

Mr. Mao and Seiko on the side rolled their eyes wildly, but the stupid couple and Yuki and the others smiled as if to say, "Our happiness cannot be replaced by anyone else."

In the arena, he held Xiaozhi's hand with emotion: "Xiaozhi, I am here as promised."

Xiaozhi also smiled and nodded: "I knew you would come, let's fight it out."

Both sides returned to their respective command seats, the referee and sides judges took their positions, and the big screen began to rotate.

Finally, the venue was frozen on the ice!

The mirror-like ice surface rose onto the field, and Xiaozhi and Manchong each had their own plans.

Ice courts are the nightmare of all high-speed attackers. The friction of the ice surface is too small, which greatly reduces the explosive power and speed.

Generally speaking, you can either choose an ice-type Pokémon that is adapted to the ice, or a Pokémon that avoids the ice and has the ability to fly.

However, Michiru had his own ideas: "Go, Gardevoir!"

Gardevoir, which has the ability to teleport, can greatly make up for the disadvantage of insufficient mobility.

Xiaozhi, on his part, naturally chose the ice-type player: "Ice Demon Guardian, it's decided that you are the one!"

"Ice type against super powers..." Makoto frowned.

"No, to be precise, it's Psychic plus Fairy." Xiao Mao explained, "Gardeto's weak resistance attributes are Poison, Ghost, and Steel.

Ice Demon Guard's resistance weaknesses are Fighting, Fire, Steel, and Rock.

The skill pools of both sides are not very good at targeting each other, it all depends on how they perform on the spot."

"Gardevoir, use magic fire!" As expected, the first skill after fully charging is a targeted fire skill!

"Garde~" Gardevoir raised her hands, and a flame wrapped in a blue light radiated out.

"Ice Demon Guard, Gyro Ball!" Xiaozhi countered the move.

"Whoosh~" Bing Guihu suddenly rotated his body at high speed, and the halo of steel wings appeared around him.

Boom! The flames were dispersed by the gyro ball, and the Ice Ghost Guard rushed straight towards the opponent.

To be continued...
