Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

The extremely high attack power means that Blaziken can fully utilize its balanced fire and fighting attributes.

Blaziken's excellent jumping ability shows that it is not weak in close combat or speed.

With its high looks, high strength, and speed-up ability after Mega Evolution, it's practically one of his dream Pokémon.

For some reason, he really wanted to find an opportunity to raise turkeys.

"Blazing Chicken, use Flame Kick to take them down!"

While Ash was deep in thought, May's battle against Team Rocket was nearing its end.

Blaziken, with its powerful thigh muscles, unleashed unparalleled speed, kicking Team Rocket and their Pokémon into the air with a single kick.

"This feeling is awful~"

The three members of Team Rocket, still hungry, reluctantly turned into streaks of light and disappeared into the sky.

"Wow, one against two, and it's really no problem~" Xiao Guang exclaimed, looking at the relaxed Blaziken.

"That's right~" Xiaoyao smiled, barely managing to vent her anger.

"I told you, there wouldn't be any problem!"

He exchanged a confident smile with Haruka, then patted Hikaru on the shoulder.

Xiao Gang stood silently in the outermost corner, like an outsider.

……

After finishing, the group returned to the restaurant with the missing ingredients.

To express their gratitude, the owners, Chika and Chiaki, not only waived their fees but also said that Haruka and Hikaru didn't need to fight.

But the strong-willed girls wouldn't agree to that and resolutely chose to confront them head-on.

"I'm afraid the ingredients still need time to be prepared~" Ash rolled his eyes at May's serious expression, exposing her righteous indignation.

"Hahaha~"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Oh, come on, Ash!"

Having been exposed, Haruka could only blush and stomp her feet on the spot before heading to the battlefield, steaming slightly, to prepare for a battle with Hikari.

On the battlefield, both sides send out their Pokémon to continue the battle that had been interrupted earlier.

May and Dawn sent out Blaziken and Piplup, while the other team sent out Giratina and Float.

With Blaziken in the lineup, Chiaki and Chika, who weren't particularly strong, were defeated unsurprisingly after a few rounds.

"Kirinki and Floatama are unable to fight, so the winners are Miss Haruka and Miss Hikari~"

"Okay~"

The joy of victory made the two girls happily high-five each other.

Whether other factors are involved remains to be seen!

Chapter 155 The Opening of the Micholl Cup

As one of the few seven-star hotels in Sinnoh, its cuisine is naturally exceptional.

And everyone was fortunate enough to witness Xiaoyao setting aside her pride and indulging in a hearty meal.

Although the process was slow and methodical, leaving no room for criticism, Xiao Guang still felt something was off.

"So awesome~"

Xiao Guang, who wanted to hurl a few harsh criticisms, found that he could only utter these three words.

She felt a deep envy for Xiaoyao, who could eat a lot but still stay slim.

She wanted to eat like that too, but besides having a small appetite, she was also afraid of gaining weight, which is a common problem for foodies.

"Hehehe~"

Faced with Xiao Guang's "praise," Xiao Yao, who had been working diligently, suddenly looked up, gave him a cute smile, and then continued to enjoy her meal.

"Hikari, stop lamenting. Learn from May and eat more!" Ash said with a smile, looking at Hikari who was still in a daze.

"Good~"

Led by Xiaoyao, a group of foodies, they thoroughly enjoyed a delicious lunch.

After finishing off all the food, they said goodbye to the owner of the seven-star hotel and went out to chat.

It wasn't until dusk that the group, completely satisfied, returned to the Pokémon Center.

Since the Pokémon Center is located on the shore of Lake Risshiden, their accommodations are all quite comfortable lake-view rooms.

Pushing open the door and leaning against the railing on the balcony, the three of them could see the beautiful scenery of Lizhi Lake from the bright moonlight and the bustling lights overhead.

"As expected of one of Sinnoh's three great lakes, the night view truly lives up to its reputation!" May exclaimed.

“Yes~” Xiao Guang replied with a dreamy look on his face.

Although she also lived in Sinnoh, this was the first time she had ever seen such a beautiful scene.

However, what caught their attention the most was the Mikeli Cup venue by Lake Lizhi, the place where they first made their mark.

"By the way, Ash, do you still have this with you?"

Xiaoyao suddenly reached into the yellow pouch at her waist and took out a ribbon medal that was only half-finished—an ash wood ribbon.

"Of course I always carry it with me!"

Seeing the expectant look in May's eyes, Ash did not disappoint the girl. He quickly took out the other half of the ash wood ribbon and combined it with May's other half, making them a whole again.

This scene, so full of tacit understanding, made Xiaogang involuntarily recall his past trip to Hoenn.

"This is?"

Xiao Guang was the only one who was unhappy to see this scene, and subconsciously puffed out his cheeks to question it.

"Xiaoguang?"

When Xiaoyao saw that Xiaoguang looked unhappy, she didn't react immediately.

On second thought, as if understanding something, he smiled broadly and explained before Ash could:

"This is the medal we jointly earned in our final Grand Contest, where we tied. To commemorate it, we're dividing it in two~"

Xiaoyao looked nostalgic and held the ribbon in her hands, carefully placing it in front of her chest.

"To prevent myself from feeling lonely while traveling alone, I always carry this ribbon with me as a talisman!"

"Phew~" Xiao Guang patted her chest calmly, letting out a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to her pretty face. "Oh, I see~"

After hearing Xiaoyao's explanation, Xiaoguang breathed a sigh of relief. But after hearing the story, she felt a pang of envy.

After all, the two of them happened to tie in the finals and split the ribbon medal in two as each other's talismans, which sounded very romantic to Xiaoguang, a sentimental girl.

Seeing that Dawn had backed down, Ash subtly gave May a thumbs-up, secretly praising her.

"Hum~"

Xiaoyao proudly raised her head behind Xiaoguang, as if to show off her power.

"Ah~"

In this situation, Xiao Gang sighed with particular regret, because he knew that there was nothing to discuss today and he could only give up.

After chatting casually for a few more minutes, they returned to their respective rooms to rest, since the official competition started tomorrow.

Only Ash, unable to sleep for the time being, dragged the somewhat bewildered Bulbasaur and Bayleaf under the moonlight to do some initial practice for returning to normalcy.

……

The following day, the Mikkelsen Cup was officially held at the tournament venue.

Dawn and May had already gone to the players' hall to prepare, while Ash and Brock sat in the audience cheering them on.

As the opening ceremony of a grand and spectacular contest, this opening act was naturally given to the magnificent Milotic.

Milotic's creamy white, slender body, coupled with its blue and red tail, makes it one of the most beautiful Pokémon in the entire world.

There aren't many beings that can outshine Milotic in terms of beauty.

At the opening ceremony, they delivered a simple yet outstanding performance by skillfully utilizing surfing and water loops.

Mikoli also quietly appeared in the center of the stage during Minas's performance.

"Good morning, Sinnoh members! Welcome to the Mikkuri Cup Grand Contest! Stang Up is on this stage!"

"what--"

"As expected of a top-tier coordinator, his popularity is truly extraordinary~" The noisy sounds made Ash instinctively cover his ears.

"After all, she's a top-tier coordinator with both good looks and talent, which has attracted a lot of older women."

Xiao Gang said this with a rather envious tone, which left Xiao Zhi with no choice but to agree.
