Elf: Pikachu Super Revealed, Mortal Body Rivals Gods

Lance looked with great interest at Ash below, who was scratching his head sheepishly.

After returning to Kanto yesterday, he had already conducted a detailed investigation into Ash's information.

Intelligence indicates that more than half of Ash's eight badges were given to him by others.

The dojo master also gave the remaining ones a lot of leeway.

However, judging from its current appearance, even without any Elite Four champions, that Pikachu's strength...

It would be absolutely overwhelming against the second team of a regular dojo!

"Don't forget, Pikachu received a reward from the Heavenly Dao's inventory, so its strength is naturally different!"

Kona reminded him from the side,

She should be the one who knows Pikachu's strength best right now.

After all, she was the only one who fought against the enhanced Pikachu.

If given full effort, Pikachu should already be at the level of a typical gym leader's team.

This is excluding the possibility of sudden power spikes and acting...

After a brief disturbance, the Quartz Convention opening ceremony continued!

……

Afterwards, Ash and his friends went to a separate venue to draw their opponents.

The Quartz Convention is divided into four venues: water, ice, rock, and grass.

Only after challenging the players in all four venues can you enter the main venue to fight!

That is, the top 16 of the Quartz Conference!

Ash's first draw was the Water Terrain!

The opponent is a trainer named Dobu!

The clueless Ash was completely unprepared for anything like scouting his opponent beforehand.

We're just waiting for the match to start at 2 PM!

During this time, he encountered his formidable rival, Xiao Mao!

Mao Ye was as arrogant as ever.

Sitting under a parasol, surrounded by six girlfriends who also act as cheerleaders, he leisurely sipped tea.

"Xiao Mao! I'm not the same person I used to be! When we meet again, I'll definitely beat you to a pulp!"

Gary glanced at the Pikachu at Ash's feet.

The current Pikachu is still a bit chubby, which is different from the standard size in the list.

But it's still clear that it's been trained quite well!

Furthermore, Ash's Pikachu received numerous rewards from the Heavenly Dao Recap.

He will be one of his formidable rivals at the Quartz Conference!

Of course, Xiao Mao would never admit to such a thing.

He spoke in a very contemptuous tone.

"With your skills, you should cultivate for another ten years before trying to defeat me! Don't think that just because you got a little reward you can defeat me!"

"You cannot match my power!"

"Pokémon battles are not just about the strength of the Pokémon; the rotation of trainers, tactical command, and information about the opponent are all very important factors!"

"Judging from your appearance, you haven't prepared anything, have you? Heh, you'd better be careful not to go home before making it into the top 32!"

"you!!"

Xiao Zhi's eyes widened in anger, but he couldn't utter a word.

Xiao Mao's words all seemed to make a lot of sense; it seemed like he really hadn't prepared anything!

"Let's go, Ash. It's not too late to prepare now. Stop being stubborn!"

Xiaoxia pulled Xiaozhi away, while Xiaogang bowed to Xiaomao on the spot.

Xiao Mao was taken aback.

"Thank you for your advice to Ash. He doesn't really listen to what we say, but it's different when it's your rival speaking."

"Give me pointers? I didn't do such a thing!"

"Yes, Gary, you were just mocking Ash."

Gangye smiled brightly, then followed Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia.

Xiao Mao took a sip of his tea, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

Ash...you've found a great teammate!

……

With Gary's reminder, Ash also dispelled his arrogance caused by Pikachu's increased strength.

Let's start seriously preparing for the first battle!

Ash teleported Kingler back to the Water area.

With the Squirtle and Pikachu in hand, I'll use them to deal with my first opponent!

As for checking the information of the first player... there's no time left, the competition is about to begin!

……

"The third match on the water court has officially begun!"

"The red team is Magician Duowu!"

"The green team is Ash Ketchum, who has been featured in the Heavenly Dao Review several times yesterday and is now world-famous! In addition, Ash Ketchum is also bringing two coaching teams to the competition!"

The camera focused on a bench near Ash's playing area.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang are sitting up there. Today, they are Xiaozhi's tactical reserves!

"Let's look forward to today's third match!"

Cynthia, standing in the main stands, looked at Wataru and the Elite Four with a strange expression.

"You guys... you can even bring your coaches to play in a match?"

"Ahem... Well... In recent Quartz tournaments, there have been many newcomers. To give them some experience, we've stipulated that any first-time participant can bring a coach to provide guidance!"

A-Du said somewhat awkwardly.

The reason is that Kanto has seen a sharp decline in talent in recent years, and the value of the Quartz Conference has been decreasing.

Many newcomers, after being discouraged once, never want to become trainers again.

For the sake of the Kanto League's future, they resorted to such unconventional tactics as giving away badges half-heartedly and hiring coaches for matches!

(This isn't something I made up. I watched the first match of the Quartz Conference, and Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were actually coaches! I was completely dumbfounded. You can have coaches in a competition?!)

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Evolution Takes on Three – The Deformed Giant Kingler Crab! (Second Update!)

A minor incident occurred before the third match.

The Rockets' trio seems to have had a tough time against Dooki.

He snatched the microphone from the commentator and yelled at Ash.

Let Ash defeat Dobu!

Then Miss Officer Jenny took them away...

After the brief incident, the third match officially began!

Dobu used Exeggutor with both Grass and Psychic powers!

Ash, on the other hand, used the Water-type Krabby!

Most people's first thought is to use Water-type Pokémon in Water-type terrains.

So Duowu did the opposite and prepared a Grass-type Pokémon!

"This big clawed crab... looks a bit underdeveloped!"

Lorelei is not only an expert in Ice-type moves, but also quite knowledgeable in Water-type moves.

This large clawed crab had a good sheen and looked quite energetic.

But it was so small! It wasn't even half the size of a typical large claw crab!

Ash didn't use Pikachu as his first Pokémon; instead, he used a Krabby of this caliber.

We're likely to suffer a setback first...

"I don't think so."
