Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

"Bang~"

With Dr. Yamanashi firing a gun, the match officially began.

"We absolutely must get first place in the Green Team this time!"

With these bold words, Musashi took the lead among all the people and charged straight for the first stronghold, which slightly shocked Ash.

"Musashi is so energetic, meow!"

"Yes!"

Kojiro and Meowth, who were watching from the sidelines, were also stunned.

"Come out!"

Jessie, who was the first to choose a Poké Ball, released the Pokémon from the ball, only to find that the big guy she released was a hippopotamus.

Because Musashi is a self-proclaimed aesthetics enthusiast, she disliked the hippopotamus and wanted to switch to another one, but the referee firmly refused.

If Ash and his friends hadn't caught up, they probably would have continued haggling with the referee.

"I knew it was you!"

Compared to Jessie, Ash was much quicker, throwing out a Poké Ball he casually pulled out.

"Moo~"

Then appeared a being that Ash was very familiar with—Tauros.

"That guy looks so familiar!"

"Pica~"

With a sigh of sympathy from both the person and their pet, Ash flipped over and immediately mounted Tauros on its back, whispering softly:

"Then I'll leave the rest of the journey to you, Kentairo!"

"Moo~"

Sensing their goodwill, Tauros immediately let out a roar as a response to Ash and Pikachu.

As for Xiao Gang, he had the Onix he was familiar with; Xiao Guang got a Dodo, which looked more honest and cute than Dodo Lily, which suited Xiao Guang's taste.

It's worth mentioning that Xiao Kui and Kaoping followed closely behind the three and each obtained Ariados and Diglett.

Xiaohui had Ariados use String Shot to float through the forest, temporarily giving them the lead over Ash and his friends.

Kaoping, not to be outdone, followed closely behind the group, relying on the burrowing of the mountain moth.

The contestants' performances were broadcast live by the doctor's assistant, who was traveling in a hot air balloon, allowing Dr. Yamanashi and Joey in the room to clearly observe the contestants' performances.

"That's good, you clearly recognize the advantages of Pokémon!"

Upon seeing the broadcast, Dr. Yamanashi praised it generously.

The scene returns to the competition venue, where Ash and his friends have arrived at the second match point at the same time as Himawari.

They gradually retrieved their Poké Balls, preparing to change their Pokémon.

"Next, we have to cross the lake. I wonder who we'll be chosen from?" Xiao Guang asked expectantly, choosing a Poké Ball and opening it.

As a result, a Pokémon resembling a shark appeared – Sharpedo. It wasn't exactly ugly, but it was rather fierce.

Ash's Pokémon is a giant flying fish with a back wide enough to carry Ash.

"Chenglong, let's charge!"

Xiao Kui, who arrived first, had already summoned her dragon and set off ahead of everyone else.

Ash and Dawn, riding behind Manta Ray and Sharpedo respectively, hurriedly caught up with Himawari, while Brock, riding Feraligatr, was relatively slower.

Seeing that she was about to be caught up, Xiao Kui immediately ordered Lapras, "Lapras, use the Freeze Ray!"

"Woo~"

The dragon spat out a beam of icy blue light from its mouth, freezing the water it passed over and allowing it to glide across it, thus increasing its speed.

However, Ash wasn't going to be outdone. He and Dawn exchanged a knowing glance and shouted in unison, "Use Surf!"

The giant flying fish and the megalodon simultaneously controlled the water flow, creating a massive waterfall.

The combined surfing power of the two of them overtook Xiao Kui and Xiao Gang in the blink of an eye, and soon disappeared from sight.

This time, the two beat everyone else to the punch and reached the last match point first, leaving everyone else far behind.

"Come out, Bogarman!"

Because the final rule requires the trainer and their Pokémon to reach the finish line together, Dawn releases Piplup.

Then, Ash and Pikachu ran quickly towards the branch school where the summer lecture was being held.

"Charge! We're almost at the finish line!"

"Okay, right away!"

After jogging for a while, they could see the school in the distance. They encouraged each other and prepared to sprint together.

"Coming right at us are Ash and Dawn from the Red Team. Their speeds are neck and neck. I wonder who will be the winner of this competition!"

Upon seeing the two people appear in their field of vision, the doctor's assistant shouted in surprise.

"They've appeared! Both crossed the finish line at the same time, tied for first place!" the elf assistant announced.

"call!"

Xiao Zhi stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Yay...yes, we won! We won!"

Overjoyed at another victory, Xiao Guang was slightly out of breath from running with all his might.

"Take a break, don't push yourself!"

Seeing Xiaoguang's amused expression, Xiaozhi spoke softly and handed him a bottle of water.

"Thank you!"

Xiao Guang blushed and gladly accepted Xiao Zhi's water cup.

……

At the end of the lecture, Dr. Yamanashi presented each participant with a commemorative certificate.

That evening, a bonfire party was held as a farewell gift.

Not only was there a sumptuous meal served that day, but there was also a thoughtful Pokémon show prepared for everyone, which was a great pleasure.

"Sigh, the seven-day lecture went by so fast!" Xiao Guang sighed as he savored the delicious pastries and watched the wonderful program.

"Yes! Happy days always pass too quickly!"

Seeing the raging fire in the center, Ash responded thoughtfully.

Now I have four badges in my hands, which means that I am already halfway through this journey. Time really flies!

Chapter 174 Feebas Evolution, Milotic Appears

After the summer lecture ended, Ash and his two friends said goodbye to Professor Yamanashi, Kohei and the others, and continued their journey.

Along the way, Xiao Gang held an electronic map in his hand, deciding on the next part of their journey.

"Next, let's head to God and Town, where the Grand Contest is about to be held!"

"Okay, I'll definitely get the fourth ribbon medal!" Hikari clenched his fist excitedly upon hearing the news of the Grand Contest.

"Then you have to keep up the good work, and don't let me down at the crucial moment!"

Although Ash knew that Dawn was on the right track in the Contests, he still kindly reminded her just in case.

"No problem, absolutely no problem!" Xiao Guang patted his chest, making a confident promise.

Even so, Ash still had some doubts about whether Dawn could actually do it.

"Alright, stop chatting for now, let's hurry up and get going!" Xiao Gang, who was leading the way, reminded them with a headache when he saw their state.

"coming!"

Xiao Guang responded immediately and took a cheerful step.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi shook his head and slowly caught up.

The town and the god were not far from their location, but it would take at least three days to get there.

So for the rest of their journey, they were all hurrying along, hoping to arrive in God and Town before the God and Conference began.

As noon approached, the three, who had been walking all morning, were exhausted. They immediately found a propitious spot to have lunch and get some rest.

However, because today was a bit special, the three of them searched for a river for quite a while before stopping.

The reason for this is simply that the Feebas that Cynthia gifted them is about to evolve.

That's right, Feebas is about to evolve.
