Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

After careful consideration, Ash arrived at the Pokémon Transfer Station early the next morning and called Professor Oak.

Just a moment later, Professor Oak, beaming with a smile, appeared before him.

"Oh, it's Ash! Thanks to the Mismagius you sent the day before yesterday, I had a rare sweet (spring) dream! Hahaha!" Professor Oak was surprised at first, and then praised Ash lavishly.

He still feels radiant when he recalls the wonderful dream he had the day before yesterday.

"???"

Ash looked completely bewildered, not understanding a word Professor Oak was saying, but he roughly understood that Mismagius had given Professor Oak a wonderful dream.

Professor Oak boasted for a few moments before teleporting Charizard, Sceptile, Suicune, and Pidgeot back together.

That's right, Charizard has also returned to the backyard, apparently to spar with Sceptile.

Considering that the two creatures were evenly matched, Charizard's wish was granted, and it was decided to let it go to Viridian Forest with Sceptile.

As for the Pokémon they got in return, they were Staraptor, Torkoal, Breeze, and Steelix, which had been staying in the backyard for a long time.

They were all caught in Sinnoh and deserve more opportunities to appear.

Especially Steelix, he should really see the mental state of this big guy.

I heard that, with the help of Professor Oak and other Pokémon like Bulbasaur from his backyard, Steelix has recovered from the bad news.

"Then I'll hang up now. I can't wait to see Suicune and the others!" Professor Oak said, his face beaming with excitement, before hanging up the phone.

Ash decisively picked up the four Poké Balls he had just traded and went to the backyard. With a gentle toss, four familiar figures appeared one after another.

"Muk~"

First, the bird flapped its wings and circled above his head, finding a suitable spot to land on the other side of Ash's shoulder.

"Hey hey~"

Then there's the seemingly arrogant Swim-Itachi, who excitedly hugs Ash's leg when it sees him, because it knows its chance to become stronger has arrived.

"Damn it!"

Next to appear was Torterra, carrying a grove of trees on its back, excitedly running up to Ash and rubbing its big head against its long-unseen trainer.

Its massive weight knocked Ash to the ground, and it habitually opened its mouth and bit his head.

"Alright, alright, it's obvious you guys are having a great time at Professor Oak's place~"

Judging from their appearance alone, it's obvious that they've received meticulous care from Professor Oak.

Pushing the forest tortoise off him, he slowly stood up and looked at the giant steel snake, which was three or four stories tall.

"roar~"

Faced with Ash's gaze, Steelix's fierce face unconsciously revealed a kind expression.

"Hello, Steelix~" he greeted first, then stepped forward and touched Steelix's body. "I'm really sorry about before, Steelix!"

Although Steelix has recovered, Ash still apologized for his mistake with Snorlax last time.

After all, he is Snorlax's trainer. No matter what, the Pokémon's mistakes are due to the trainer.

Steelix generously stated that it wasn't entirely Ash and Snorlax's fault; it also bore some responsibility for its rampage.

In short, Steelix happily joined the team and is ready to fight for the upcoming doubles battle.

For the next period of time, Ash spent his time discussing the recent situation with his four Pokémon and strengthening their bond, without directly training them.

Because there is simply not enough time.

After finishing his business, Xiaogang went to the backyard to find Xiaozhi, intending to replenish some supplies and also visit the Yuzhi Gym.

Neither of them invited Xiao Guang.

With the Tournament of Fate about to begin, they did not intend to disturb Hikari, allowing her to remain at the training ground to provide more thorough training for Piplup and Curly-ear.

So the two of them and their Pokémon set off, leaving the Pokémon Center and heading towards the Fate Gym.

Unfortunately, just as Ash expected, the Yuu no Gym had a sign on the door that read, "Gym Leader on break, temporarily closed."

"Sigh, what a pity!" Ash could only sigh with regret. He had traveled for so long, but he couldn't challenge the gym. It was quite frustrating.

"Xiao Zhi, don't be discouraged!"

"Pikachu~"

As good friends, Brock and Pikachu patted Ash on the shoulder to comfort him.

"The poster just said that a two-player battle is about to be held in Yosuga City. This is perfect for you and can help you relax!" Xiao Gang kindly comforted him.

Ash, who had anticipated this, was not too discouraged. He first went with Brock to the department store to buy necessities, and then went to the doubles battle registration area to register.

Double battles are very popular in Yuen City. Compared to single battles, double battles take into account the cooperation between the two trainers and the two Pokémon.

The difficulty naturally increases exponentially.

This has attracted a number of powerful trainers, and many players have also joined in.

Sure enough, the lines to register have already stretched into a long queue.

The two of them spent a long time queuing before they were able to register the contestants' forms.

However, when registering, he also filled in Xiao Guang's name.

The reasons for this are self-evident.

After registering, the two returned to the Pokémon Center.

Alright, Xiao Guang is having Bogarman and Curly-Ears demonstrate their training results.

The combined performance naturally utilizes Piplup's Whirlwind, Curly's Freeze Beam, and Stun Punch to create frozen Whirlwind and crystal-clear ice shard effects.

"What a beautiful and magnificent performance!" Xiao Gang gave a fair evaluation, looking at the smug Xiao Guang.

"Of course, I'm definitely fine with it!"

"Pogaga~"

The person and their pet appeared quite confident.

"Ash, what do you think?" Dawn didn't forget to ask Ash, who was standing still, with her big blue eyes looking expectant.

"Hikaru, to be honest, the performance was spectacular! But I still maintain that this performance overshadowed the charm of Piplup and Curly-Ears themselves~"

Although he felt a little reluctant, he still told the truth, hoping that Xiao Guang could correct his behavior in time.

"Is it gorgeous? Then there's no problem!" Unfortunately, the girl automatically filtered out half of it and confidently uttered her catchphrase.

Ash was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but worry about the Tournament of Fate tomorrow.

If nothing unexpected happens, given Xiaoguang's current mindset, he will definitely be eliminated as usual.

That was the only time he could offer comfort and guide the girl's thinking in the right direction.

(Thanks to Zhibai Dong for the great certification. I've already missed the second six chapter. I'll try my best to write more today to make up for the first six chapter. But I still want to hint to all my dear readers that if you have time, you can also contribute a free chapter as a token of your love (QAQ))

Chapter 109 Go, Ash! I choose you!

The next day, the Fate Tournament officially began.

Ash, Brock, and Pikachu prepare to watch the upcoming performance as spectators.

Although Ash was not optimistic about Dawn's mindset this time, he was still silently praying for the girl.

However, Hikari, the girl who is the protagonist of this story, was not as confident as expected in the contestant hall, and there was a bit of nervousness on her face.

After all, this was Xiaoguang's first time participating in a collaborative performance.

Fortunately, Hikaru had the protection of her mother Ayako, as well as the encouragement of her companion and rival Nozomi and the bard Hisashi, which helped her regain her confidence.

"Bang bang bang~"

With the sound of cannons booming, the Destiny Tournament officially began.

The first to appear is Shoji, the Speaker Scoot, along with his Pokémon Speaker Scoot and Sunflower.

Upon taking the stage, Shangzhi fully utilized the characteristics of the speaker cricket as a music master, with melodious music combined with the magical sound of grass flutes emitted by the leaves of the sunflower monster.

With its own golden harp as an aid, it presented the judges and audience with a musical feast performed by humans and Pokémon.

"As expected of a bard, his performance perfectly suits his identity."

"Indeed, the enchanting sound of the grass flute and the song of the cricket echoed each other, and with Mr. Shangzhi's piano playing as an accompaniment, it was simply a perfect piece of music!"

Putting aside the judges and the audience, even Xiaozhi and Xiaogang themselves gave him extremely high praise without reservation.

Unfortunately, because Mr. Shangzhi's brick was too perfect, none of the subsequent coordinators were qualified to be considered as jade, and their performances were a complete mess.

After several rounds, it was finally Xiao Guang's turn to take the stage with her Bogarman and Curly Ear.

The performance began with a conventional display of the collision between the Bubble Beam and the Freeze Beam.

As expected, the next move was a combination of Tide Whirl and Freezing Ray, which was finally shattered with a Stunning Punch, causing crystal-clear ice shards to fall all over the stage.

Although some audience members were very excited by the dazzling performance, most of them, as well as the judges, remained quite calm, offering only brief comments.

For example, the comment "I like this" is strange—Sukizo's comment is simply "It looks pretty good."

This shows that Xiao Guang's performance was still lacking in their eyes.
