Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

"Alright, we must win first place!" Xiao Guang shouted with high spirits, with Chou Ni echoing his words from the side.

"You stinky mud!"

"This seems a bit difficult!"

Xiao Gang glanced at the Red Team's Pokémon, such as his Magnemite and Dawn's Grimer, which weren't very good at utilizing their strengths.

"I'll do my best!"

Glancing at the Blue Crocodile, Graveler, and other Pokémon in the Green Team where Jessie was, Brock immediately understood Brock's worries, but he didn't care at all.

Only after awakening the power of Aura and the power of Eternal Moon can one know which is superior.

The final result was not surprising. Under Ash's leadership, they easily defeated the Blue Team, which included Kao Ping, without even having to exert much effort.

As for Musashi's Green Team, they unsurprisingly defeated their opponents after exerting a little more effort, taking first place in the group stage.

"Wow, we really won!" Xiao Guang exclaimed in amazement.

Xiao Guang also knew that his team's chances of winning were not high, after all, there were very few Pokémon with great strength, unlike the Green Team which had Pokémon like Crocodile and Graveler.

But the actual result was truly unexpected.

Brock stared at Ash thoughtfully, because he always felt that the immense force coming from the team was coming from the direction of Ash and Raichu.

He just couldn't be sure whether it was Raichu or Ash who did it.

Whoever it was, Xiao Gang found it incredible, after all, both of them had strength far exceeding the level of their group.

Before Xiao Gang could figure it out, all the students, led by the doctor's assistant, headed to the cafeteria to have lunch.

"Hmm, this curry rice is pretty good!" Xiao Guang picked up a spoon, took a bite, and immediately gave a satisfied review.

"It's definitely worth learning from!" Xiao Gang took a bite, nodding repeatedly in agreement, and strongly agreed with Xiao Guang's statement.

"Indeed, this chef is very skilled!" Xiao Zhi commented after taking a bite.

If he had to give a standard, he felt that Xiao Gang's skill level was close to 90%.

And if he remembered correctly, Kojiro and Nyanko were in charge of the logistics for the entire lecture, so this lunch must have been prepared by them.

"These three seem to be good at everything except catching Pikachu. They're really talented!" Ash commented after tasting the food a few times.

"What a pity. If he opened a restaurant, his business would be booming. Instead, he came here to catch his Pikachu."

Shaking his head, Xiao Zhi quickly banished these thoughts and focused on eating.

After enjoying a delicious lunch, the three of them went to an open space to prepare for the afternoon's Pokémon battle.

This was in response to Hikari's request to help her with the battle strategy for Grimer.

The main reason was that it was Dawn's first time encountering a Poison-type Pokémon, and she didn't know much about them, so she took the initiative to ask Ash for help.

"Wow, not only can it transform itself, it's even learned to use poison!"

After talking with Grimer, Ash learned about Grimer's skills.

The other poison-attribute moves were unremarkable, but the skills of shrinking and being extremely poisonous were truly eye-opening.

"What's wrong? Are these two skills really that powerful?" Xiao Guang looked up, puzzled.

However, as Xiao Gang recalled the effects of the two skills, he gradually understood Xiao Zhi's thoughts.

"Of course, we'll use poison in our attacks to put the opponent into a poisoned state and continuously deplete their stamina. Then, by shrinking, we can improve the sludge's evasion ability and avoid being hit by the opponent's attacks!"

"Just with these two skills, you can greatly increase Grimer's chances of winning!" Ash clearly explained the advantages and disadvantages between the two skills.

Although Grimer currently doesn't have the Substitute or Protect abilities to increase its survivability, it can theoretically increase its evasion rate by shrinking, which is a similar approach and can also improve its survivability.

With these two skills, Hikari will be able to face the upcoming battles and has a high chance of winning.

"Amazing!"

After listening to Ash's explanation, Dawn suddenly understood the significance of it and blinked her bright blue eyes in amazement.

Xiao Gang didn't say anything, but his thoughts were the same as Xiao Guang's.

"Thanks, Ash!" Having understood the meaning behind it, Dawn also understood the implications and said excitedly.

"With Ash and Grimer's help, the battle this afternoon will definitely be fine!"

With Ash's divine assistance, Dawn was full of confidence and ready to face the Pokémon battle in the afternoon.

Chapter 169 A Resounding Victory in the Pokémon Battle

After lunch, a short two-hour rest was taken, and under the organization of Professor Yamanashi and his assistant, the Pokémon battle between the groups finally began.

Dr. Yamanashi's assistant read out the competition rules before the competition began.

"Each team member will be randomly matched with an opponent. Defeating the opponent will earn one point. The team with the highest score will have one point added to their total score."

The competition rules were clear and straightforward, and the opponents were quickly assigned through a draw.

Among Ash and his two friends, Brock went first, and his opponents were Jessie from Team Green and her partner, Jynx.

A Pokémon with a large head, golden hair, and pink skin, resembling a little girl.

"Alright, Magnemite, let's go!"

Upon seeing his opponent, Xiao Gang excitedly arrived at the arena, ready for a long-awaited Pokémon battle.

"呲呲~"

Magnemite immediately floated into the air, staring sharply at its opponent.

However, Brock and Magnemite's enthusiasm soon became confused under Jessie's manipulation.

Because Musashi was holding the Jynx tightly and wouldn't let go, she said with great concern, "Jynxes are so cute, how can they fight? If they get hurt, I'll..."

This left Ash and Dawn speechless, unsure of how to react.

However, to be fair, the jellyfish's appearance is quite remarkable, and for Musashi, who is a sucker for good looks, such a reaction is quite reasonable.

Ash silently commented on Musashi's decision to be eliminated.

The members of the red team were very happy to easily win a point.

Aside from Brock being a little frustrated because he couldn't experience a thrilling Pokémon battle,

"Ash, you can do it! I believe you can do it!" Dawn clenched her fist to cheer Ash on.

"Don't worry!" Ash smiled back and slowly walked towards the battlefield.

After Brock, it was Ash's turn to battle, and his opponent was a girl named Himawari and her Infernape.

But putting aside Pokémon battles for now, Ash really wants to complain: Is Himawari, who looks completely like a boy, really a girl?

With short hair, a flat chest, and a masculine style of dress, he could easily be called a handsome young man.

"It's even smaller than Xiaowang!" Xiaozhi couldn't help but complain after glancing at it a few times.

Xiao Kui didn't react to Xiao Zhi's scrutinizing gaze, perhaps because she was used to it and too lazy to respond.

"I declare that the game has officially begun!"

With the doctor's assistant giving the order, the competition officially began.

"Infernape, Sonic Punch!" Xiao Kui gave the order immediately, seizing the initiative.

"roar~"

With a roar, Infernape's right hand burst into light, and using the characteristics of Mach Punch, it transformed into a blur and rushed towards Raichu.

Due to its extremely high speed, some overweight Raichus simply cannot dodge it.

"Stop them!"

However, Ash simply replied with a casual remark, and Raichu immediately reacted, crossing its arms in front of it and easily withstanding the attack from Infernape.

Raichu only took a few steps back, regained his balance, and firmly grasped Infernape's fist.

"So powerful?"

Xiao Kui was shocked, not expecting Raichu to withstand it so easily.

But Xiao Kui knew this wasn't the time to be stunned, so she immediately shouted.

"Infernape, use Flamethrower at close range!"

At such close range, Infernape's fire damage can be maximized.

"Raichu, Thunderbolt!"

However, how could Xiao Zhi not know this principle?

Just as Infernape was charging up, Raichu's body crackled with electricity, which turned into golden bolts of lightning that struck Infernape.

Even if Infernape reacted, it couldn't dodge at such close range, not to mention that Raichu was holding Infernape's fist tightly.

After taking a direct hit from a 100,000-volt attack, Infernape felt dizzy and its head was spinning.

"Infernape, get out of the way!"

When I came to my senses, I heard Xiao Kui's voice.

Before Infernape could even recall what had happened, a fist the size of a sandbag appeared before it and delivered a heavy blow to its head.
