Pokémon: Ash's Journey to Mastery

"You have been the Queen of Carlos for so long, but you have never left our journey. You have always been with us. It is time for you to assume the responsibilities of the Queen of Carlos." Xiaozhi said with a depressed look. In fact, he had been prepared for this day. After all, when Serena became the queen, there would always be a day when she would have to fulfill her due responsibilities. He just didn't expect it to come now.

"I'm sorry, Xiaozhi, I can't be here for your match against Kalno. I need to go to another city to perform a show to bring smiles to everyone's faces. This is my duty as the Queen of Carlos. It has been delayed long enough and it can't be delayed any longer." Serena didn't really want to do this, but she had no choice but to take on the responsibility as the Queen of Carlos and not be willful.

"But I will come here right after my performance and will definitely watch your fight with Karuno, believe me." Although Serena looked depressed, she was particularly firm at the end.

"Sarina, why can't you watch Satoshi's duel before performing?" Solika asked sadly.

"That's right." Xiaoya echoed

"Why can't we watch it first and then perform?" Xiaoxi asked puzzledly.

"I…."

"Xiulija, as the queen of the Kalos region, Salina also has her own responsibilities and cannot act on her own." Hitron, as a wise man, tried to persuade her, but he was also disappointed in his heart.

"Salina, you must come and watch my game then."

"Well, Xiaozhi, you must win too. If you defeat Kalno, the man I like will be invincible." Serena said with a blushing face.

"Well, Serena, I will definitely defeat Karena. I promise you, we will get married when I become the world champion." Xiaozhi said with a blushing face and panting, as if he had used up all his strength and courage.

"Oh." Serena obviously didn't expect Xiaozhi to say such a thing, and she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

"Xiaozhi is so bold!" Xiu Lijia covered her face with her hands and said in surprise.

Pachila looked at this scene and sighed how great it was to be young.

"Is this a proposal?" Xitron said with blushing cheeks.

Pikachu's cheeks also turned red and his ears crossed.

Xiaoya and Xiaoxi didn't expect Xiaozhi to say this, and they felt a little dissatisfied.

In particular, Xiao Adam wanted to come over immediately, but Xiao Xi held him back with her jade hand.

Xiaoxi shook her head gently. Xiaoya was silent for a while and finally stopped, not wanting to ruin the atmosphere.

Serena was silent for a moment, speechless, which made Xiaozhi's heart pounding.

"Then you must become the world champion." Serena was silent for a while and finally responded to Xiaozhi.

"But it may take a long time to achieve this goal. Are you willing to wait for me?" Xiaozhi said with a red face, his voice getting lower and lower.

"I'll wait for you!" Selina said unwaveringly after hearing this.

"I'm willing to wait for you forever." Selina put her hand on her heart and said solemnly.

Xiaozhi and Serena hugged each other tightly.

"I will definitely come back to watch your game. Goodbye." Selina waved goodbye to everyone.

"Goodbye, I'll do my best." Xiaozhi said happily.

…Although Xiaozhi and his companions were sad about Serena’s sudden departure, in order to prepare for the battle two days later, Xiaozhi had been sitting at his computer desk these days thinking about the lineup and tactics.

Two days later, the showdown between Xiaozhi and Kaluna came as expected.

Through the efforts of everyone and Pokémon during this period, the competition venue in Miare City has been repaired. As long as you are with Pokémon, you can realize unlimited possibilities.

The whole scene was still packed with people, which showed that the audience was looking forward to this game. On one side was the strongest trainer in his own region, and on the other side was the hero who participated in rescuing Kalos and defeated the Elite Four in two days.

"Under the blessed sunny sky, the day that everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived. The Pokémon League championship battle, will Xiaozhi defeat Caroline and win the title of champion, or will Caroline still defend her title of champion?"

"A battle with the title and honor of champion at stake, the Carlos Champions League Battle!" the commentator said excitedly.

"Watching Satoshi's battle will definitely allow me to gain a lot of experience points. I wonder what tactics he will deploy to deal with Miss Kareno?" Shota said, picking up the notebook.

"Xiaozhi has finally reached this point." Hitlon said with relief.

"Come on, Xiaozhi! X2" Xiu Lijia and Xiaoxi cheered him on.

"But why hasn't Salina come yet?" Xiu Lijia said disappointedly.

"Don't worry, Solika, Serena, she will definitely come. After all, this is a very important competition in Xiaozhi's life." Xitron persuaded.

Tierno, Doroba, and Shana sat aside and watched silently.

The eight gym leaders in the Kalos region watched in front of the television, looking forward to Ash's next battle.

"Xiaozhi, you should reach the peak with Greninja as predicted. I hope my prediction is correct." Gejihua said thoughtfully.

"Come on, Xiaozhi, show some courage." Kornie said happily while looking at the TV.

Cocobul looked at Kornie thoughtfully and thought that Xiaozhi was pretty good.

"Come on, Satoshi." Hanako said with a smile in front of the TV, and Professor Oak was also watching on the side.

The elves in the backyard also started dancing, silently encouraging in their own way.

"Please invite both players to enter the venue."

"The player standing in front of you is Xiaozhi from Pallet Town. So far, Xiaozhi has won the Quartz Conference Top 16, Silver Conference Top , Caiyou Conference Top , Suzuran Conference Champion, Hinoki Conference Champion, and Miare Conference Champion."

"On the other side is the strongest trainer in the Kalos region. Ever since Karuna became the champion, she has been defending the championship throne and no one has ever defeated her."

Xiaozhi walked into the venue and glanced around the audience, but he didn't see the person he was looking for, and he felt disappointed.

"Xiaozhi, what are you looking for?" Karen looked at Xiaozhi's actions and said puzzledly.

"Nothing." Xiaozhi said as if he didn't care, and at the same time cleared away the depression in his heart and cheered up to face the next battle.

"I'm Satoshi from Pallet Town. My dream is to become a Pokémon Master. I will definitely win this game today." Satoshi said proudly.

"The victory declaration appeared, and Xiaozhi was full of confidence." The commentator said excitedly.

"Brother, hasn't Serena come yet? The battle is about to start." Xiu Lijia said anxiously.

"Salina should be here soon." Hitlon said a little uncertainly.

"As the Queen of Kalos, Serena also has a lot to do, but I believe she will come to the important occasions in Satoshi's life." Shota said confidently.

("Come quickly, Serena. This battle is an important step for Xiaozhi to realize his dream.")

("Come on quickly.")

Xiu Lijia and Xiaoxi shouted silently in their hearts.

"For this battle, Ash will probably bring out his strongest lineup. Pikachu, Charizard, and Greninja will definitely appear, but I'm not sure about the last three," Hitler analyzed.

"Ms. Karuno's strength should not be underestimated. No one in the entire Kalos region has ever defeated her in a championship match. I wonder how Xiaozhi will deal with her?" Shota picked up his notebook and analyzed.
