Elf: Pikachu Super Revealed, Mortal Body Rivals Gods

[Serena: Yeah, Ash... Don't worry about what that person said! You'll always be the best trainer in everyone's hearts!]

[Clemont: A trainer who has no bond with their Pokémon is someone who doesn't deserve to be called a trainer. Ash, if you take what that guy says to heart, then that's a bit unreasonable.]

【…】

Everyone who knew Xiaozhi well, and everyone who had been on the list, launched a campaign to support Xiaozhi at the same time.

They didn't want Ash to change his belief in Pokémon because of that guy!

……

"Hey Ash, you haven't really been influenced by that idiot, have you?"

Shigeru looked at Satoshi, who was keeping his head down and not saying a word, and asked.

"What...what are you talking about! Who would be affected by that guy!"

Xiao Zhi stretched out his arm and kept wiping away the tears streaming down his face.

……

P.S.: Those of you who have read this far probably already know...

In addition to the standard TV and movie footage, my compilations will also include some plot points that I imagine myself.

Television and movies may have incomplete or unclear plots due to various factors, but I will make sure to connect them all.

So, if you've seen the movie "I Choose You," there are a few scenes that will definitely leave a deep impression on you.

The first teacher, Mr. Pi, spoke with thunderous force.

The second point is... Ash's incoherent words when he lost to Cross.

Ash is a person who loves Pokémon very much, but his personality still has quite a few flaws in the TV series.

However, Ash in the 20th Anniversary Movie has a nearly perfect personality from the beginning. He loves Pokémon, likes Pokémon, and is willing to risk his life for them.

It's actually hard for him to accept what he said when he lost to Kroos.

'It would be great if it were Pikachu.' 'It would be great if the starter Pokémon was Bulbasaur or Squirtle instead of Pikachu.'

Ash is a boy, and boys make mistakes too, but Ash will never again see his Pokémon looking upset.

Even after suffering serious harm, he would still say such things.

The editor wanted to create scenes of Ash's growth, but I feel... growth doesn't necessarily need to be portrayed through such low points.

Not to mention portraying Ash as someone who blames all his mistakes on his own Pokémon!

Some people may disagree with me; it's a matter of opinion. Anyway... here's my setup.

In this timeline, Ash is almost comparable to Red.

The fact that a regular Pikachu can fight Ho-Oh for a whole day already speaks volumes about its skill level.

The movie version literally shows fighting from morning till night, it's ridiculous.

As for the rest of the character development... I will develop Ash's character in the later stages.

He might make mistakes, he might feel lost, but... he won't blame those mistakes on the Pokémon!

Chapter 119: A temporary separation is for a better reunion in the future!

Backyard of Dr. Oak's Research Institute:

Xiao Zhi was desperately wiping away the tears streaming from his eyes.

To be honest, the image of myself in the video was indeed a huge blow.

However, being a third party observing from this point in time, he clearly understood the problem.

Naturally, it did not suffer a major blow.

The reason he cried was because... so many people came to support him!

Whether it's the champions or the friends who appeared in the retrospective video, they are all speaking out for him!

Although Ash hasn't met and spent time with all those different kinds of people yet,

But at this moment... they have already begun to form a future bond with Ash!

"You idiot, Shigeru! I won't let that shake my confidence! I believe... I'll be the same in the parallel universe!"

Xiao Zhi stared intently at the image on the screen.

In a parallel world... he wouldn't be so easily defeated, right?

In the video—

It was already evening.

Ash retrieved his healed Pikachu and Charmeleon from the Pokémon Center.

At this moment, Ash looked very down and didn't say a word.

Behind him, Souji and Seiko were comforting him.

Faced with their words of comfort, Xiaozhi gritted his teeth and said.

"...Cross's actions as a trainer were absolutely wrong! I have no reason to lose to him!"

"but……"

Xiao Zhi clenched his fists tightly, his face filled with resentment.

It's not that he can't accept failure, it's that he can't accept being defeated by that kind of guy!

Moreover, as the loser, he had absolutely no way to refute that guy's theory!

"Although Cross is annoying, his belief in becoming stronger cannot be denied. He has followed his elf all the way here!"

"Losing isn't scary; what's scary is not being able to get back up after you lose!"

Chengzi echoed in response.

"It's '260,' Ash! It's okay if you lose this time! There's always next time, right?! If you can't get back up after one defeat, then you've truly lost to him!"

"hateful……"

Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth and ran straight out, ignoring the shouts from Zongji and Chengzi.

[Yu Longdu: Alas, he was still too young and couldn't withstand the blow!]

[Cynthia: It's okay, Ash... he'll be fine!]

[Daiwu: Yeah, the supportive comments on the screen just now really surprised me. I didn't realize Ash had so many supporters and friends!]

Professor Oak: Trust Ash! He can get out of this mess!

In the video—

Ash ran all the way to the outer edge of the forest, by which time the sun had already set.

The moonlight rose quietly.

Pikachu is the only one who can stick close to Ash.

Ash didn't turn around; he knew Pikachu was following him.

He slowed down his running pace, his voice carrying an indescribable meaning.

"Pikachu... Am I not qualified to be your trainer...?"

"Pikachu!!"

Pikachu shook its head emphatically.

“But… I can’t even beat Cross… I can’t even beat someone like that.”

"That's really terrible..."

"He's right. I have no idea how to command elves in battle. My hasty commands and rushed attacks are the root cause of my defeat."

"Charmeleon is very strong... If I hadn't been in charge... he probably could have won!"

"Pikachu!!"

Pikachu went straight in front of Ash and shook its head heavily.

His is practically turning into a rattle drum from shaking.

Ash casually found a tree to sit on and took out the Rainbow Feather from his pocket.

"Pikachu... tell me... is someone like me unworthy of becoming the Rainbow Hero?!"

As he spoke, the vibrant colors of the feathers on Ash's hand seemed to gradually fade...

……

[Lance: I get it! That guy Cross! He's trying to undermine Ash's resolve!]

[Dalmatian: So that's how it is... I was wondering why that guy suddenly started caring about Ash.]

[Shiba: Huh? What are you guys talking about?]
