Beside him was a terrifying red werewolf!

"Kross..."

Chengzi couldn't help but speak up when she saw who it was.

Zongci was taken aback.

"Is this the guy who abandoned Charmander?"

"That's right... he's the one who abandoned Charmander in the heavy rain!"

This was the first time Zongji had ever met Cross. He never expected that this guy would actually find his way here!

In the Free Arena:

Cross walked to the trainer's seat opposite Ash and said with a sarcastic expression.

"I heard you caught that useless Charmander? Tsk, a useless Pokémon and a useless trainer are a perfect match!"

"Don't be ridiculous! There are no weak Pokémon! There are only incompetent trainers!"

"I choose you, Charmeleon!"

Ash loudly refuted Cross's words and released his evolved Charmeleon!

In this world, Charizard didn't become disobedient.

One of Ash's trainers is likely of exceptional skill.

Another thing is that Charmander's experience was also unusual...

"Roar!"

Charizard roared to the sky as soon as it appeared, but when it saw its opponent...

The arrogant expression on his face froze instantly.

This time, his opponent is actually his... former trainer!

"Tsk, it's evolved? But weak things remain weak even after evolution!"

"That's not true at all! As long as you grow together with your trainer, any Pokémon can become incredibly powerful!"

Cross arrogantly pulled out a Poké Ball.

"Then let me show you reality! This is a powerful fire-type spirit I captured after abandoning that guy!"

"Go, Blazing Roaring Tiger!"

"Roar!!"

A ferocious tiger with a muscular body appeared before everyone!

First the Mane Rock Lycanroc, then the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

Did this guy grow up in Alola?!

The fiery roar of the tiger intimidated the Charizard, causing it to take a step back.

The former trainer, plus the ferocious Incineroar,

Even without the Intimidate ability, Charmeleon still felt somewhat intimidated.

Ash is currently only traveling within the Kanto region.

Having not studied Pokémon much, he naturally knew nothing about Pokémon like Incineroar.

"Fire dinosaur, shoot flames!"

"Next!"

The Blazing Roaring Tiger formed claws with both hands and fiercely grabbed at the oncoming blazing flames!

The raging flames struck the Blazing Roaring Tiger head-on!

After the flames disappeared, the Blazing Roaring Tiger's hands were slightly charred.

Kroos's expression hardened.

He never imagined that the little fire dragon he had abandoned would have grown to this extent...

'I never imagined that good-for-nothing would grow to this level! But... so what if he's grown? Watch me crush your so-called 'friendship' theory under my feet! I am... right!'

"Flame Roaring Tiger, spray flames!"

"Next!"

Ash made the same command as Cross!

However, Ash's actions caused Red to frown slightly.

……

"Ash is too impulsive."

"what?"

Xiao Zhi was confused. Why did he act impulsively?

"I mean you in the picture."

"In the image, you've become obsessed. You're proving to Kross that humans and elves can become stronger through friendship and bonds."

"The idea is correct, but it was rushed."

Professor Oak nodded in agreement.

“Red is right. There are many ways to prove something. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a direct victory over the opponent. Charizard hasn’t been evolving for very long and hasn’t fully adapted to the power of evolution.”

"On the other hand, the opponent's Incineroar is clearly a veteran that has evolved for a long time. This one-on-one head-on confrontation is too disadvantageous for Charmeleon!"

"If you don't change your tactics... it's only a matter of time before you lose."

Xiao Zhi paused, looking at his reflection in the image, lost in thought.

His thoughts are actually the same as the image of himself on screen.

However, with the guidance of Professor Oak and Red, he realized where he had gone wrong.

But... no one was giving him any pointers in the video!

The outcome of this battle is likely...

Five minutes later, in the video—

Charmeleon constantly engaged in direct confrontations with its opponent.

Furthermore, Ash's commands were very rushed, and as Professor Oak said,

Charizard has only recently evolved, and it hasn't yet adapted to many of its powers.

So, it was a very unfortunate defeat...

After Charmeleon's defeat, Ash seemed to wake up from a dream, and his crazy mind finally calmed down!

He held the Charmeleon, which had lost its ability to fight, feeling utterly helpless and filled with self-blame.

At this moment, Kroos walked up and said with a mocking expression.

"How naive! Relying on cheap friendship and meaningless bonds, haphazardly commanding elves in battle, he's useless, and you're no better!"

"No wonder you guys got involved! You're the worst trainer I've ever seen! No, you don't even deserve to be a trainer!"

After saying that, Kroos left without looking back.

All that remained was Xiao Zhi, gritting his teeth and filled with resentment.

……

"Holy crap! That's so annoying! This guy only won one game, what right does he have to mock Ash Ketchum!"

"Exactly! If Ash releases Pikachu, even ten of his trash Incineroar wouldn't be enough to take him down!"

"That's exactly what I mean! If Pikachu were used in this match..."

"..."

Audiences around the world strongly disapproved of Cross's actions.

Charizard had only just evolved; it hadn't even adapted to its own power yet.

Several times during the journey, the flames failed to be released!

The opponent's Incineroar was in complete control of its body, and it looked like a Pokémon that had evolved a long time ago!

Although Ash's command was somewhat hasty,

However, many people believe that Ash would never lose if he used Pikachu!

[Lance: Sigh, that guy is indeed annoying, but he's right about one thing: Ash is too impatient!]

[Adeko: Tomotaro also wanted to prove that bonds can make spirits stronger! But... he was a bit too hasty.]

[Xiaoxia: That guy! What do you mean, the worst trainer?! He's the worst trainer! What's the point of winning battles?! His attitude towards Pokémon is so awful! He doesn't deserve to be called a trainer!]

[Dawn: ...I agree, Ash isn't a bad trainer at all!]

[May: If that guy had been my mentor and guided me on my journey... I'd probably be having nightmares right now! My guide is Ash... that's so great...]
