Upon seeing Ash, the blond-haired man's expression changed drastically, and he then looked behind Ash.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they realized the dark purple ghost hadn't followed them.

"Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that if you like catching Gengar, you should go catch it yourself?!"

"I don't want that guy anymore!"

That's where Huang Mao is better than Da You.

Even after seeing that Gengar had become stronger, he had no intention of finding Gengar.

In his mind, strength was one thing, but the main problem was that Gengar's curse was too disgusting!

With Gengar around, he's destined to be unlucky for life!

Whether his misfortune was caused by his mindset is beyond his consideration.

"I've come to find you to have a match!"

"A battle? You? What's your ranking?"

The blond guy was so frightened by Gengar that he didn't even realize that the thing blocking Gengar's Shadow Ball was Ash's handmade Aura Sphere.

Therefore, he also looked down on Ash.

After all, Ash's age is a factor.

"Ranked 10,425!"

"Ranked 10,000? Hahaha, kid, in the tournament, even a single rank difference is significant! Do you know where I am? 9,500! There's a difference of almost 1,000 between us! Are you sure you want to fight me?"

"Then there's no need to say it!"

Ash took out his Pokédex and began recording his battle rankings.

When the blond-haired youth saw the red Rotom Pokédex in Ash's hand, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

The World Championships are open to all, with no entry requirements.

However, most people use their mobile phones to register and record matches.

When both sides request a match using their mobile phones, a dedicated Rotom referee will come to adjudicate the match.

However... the kid in front of me isn't using an ordinary phone, he's using a Rotom phone!

This thing is not just a phone, it's also an illustrated guide!

Not everyone can have it.

They are either outstanding trainers, those with connections, or new trainers who received their Pokémon from the professor.

In short, none of them are easy to mess with!

However, the die was cast, and he had no choice but to act. If he ran away now, he would lose all face!

Although I've already lost face quite a bit...

Now we can only hope that this kid is just a nepotism case; if that's the case, he still has a chance to win.

After both parties agreed to use their phones, they found an open space nearby and started the battle!

The World Championship matches attracted a lot of spectators, and referee Lotom was in place early on!

……

[Yu Longdu: Hmm? This is pretty good. Smartphones can connect and play against each other; wins and losses can be directly uploaded to the World Championship rankings website.]

[Mickey: The important thing is, with Rotom as the referee, we can basically play anytime, anywhere! And we don't have to worry about any unfair actions during the match!]

[Dan: That makes sense... It seems future World Championships could be changed to look like in the video! That would broaden the scope of the championships even further!]

The current championships are different from what you see in the videos.

To participate in the World Championship, you need eight badges and to compete in a special venue!

After all, in a battle in the wild, one is that there is no way to determine the outcome, and the other is that no one knows whether you have committed a foul.

However, the high technology in the images completely eliminated these factors!

The results can be uploaded via mobile phone, and referee Rotom will oversee whether the results are fair!

It can be said that they thought of everything very thoroughly!

Perhaps... the era of World Championships for all will soon arrive!

……

In the video—

Ash begins his battle against the blond guy!

This competition is a 1v1 duel. Generally speaking, Poké Ball level matches are either one-on-one or two-on-two.

It is rare for more than three Pokémon to battle.

Both sides release their Pokémon at the same time.

That blond guy over there is... an Alakazam!

After abandoning Gengar, he captured Alakazam, Gengar's nemesis!

It seems this guy really hates Gengar, and... he's actually quite capable!

After all, Alakazam isn't a common Pokémon, and its initial form, Abra, is quite rare.

Ash, needless to say, naturally sent Gengar to attack!

Upon seeing that Ash's Pokémon was Gengar, the blond-haired man's expression changed slightly.

He didn't expect that Ash would actually catch Gengar in such a short time!

"Hmph! I thought you were so loyal, but you turned out to be with someone else in the blink of an eye!"

"I can't help but mock you," the blond-haired man said.

After all, it's really unpleasant to have your sprite taken away in front of someone's face.

Even though this was the spirit he had abandoned...

"Gengar is incredibly unlucky to have followed a trainer like you!"

"You're blaming Gengar for failing to catch Pokémon and losing battles! Now I'll show you just how powerful (bad) Gengar really is!"

"Gengar, Shadow Ball!"

"Ginga!"

Gengar was already 'starving'!

All the old and new grudges were ignited, and the dark purple ball he rubbed in his hand was exceptionally large!

"Alakazam, illusion!"

Yellow Hair also wanted to prove that his choice was right! So he chose to go head-to-head with Gengar!

The colorful, zigzagging rays of light tore through the void and collided with the dark purple energy ball!

The enormous sound reverberated throughout the entire venue, and the surrounding crowd felt as if a hurricane had been unleashed!

After a few seconds of stalemate, the Shadow Orb slowly suppressed the illusionary beam!

"How is this possible! How could that Gengar have such power!"

An expression of disbelief crossed the blond-haired man's face.

It's worth noting that Gengar had suffered repeated defeats in his hands before, almost never winning!

Could it be that Gengar has become stronger through training over the past few years?

"Gengar is not weak! It's the trainers who are weak!"

"When the Pokémon and its trainer are of one mind, the Pokémon can unleash its full power!"

"Go, Gengar!"

Ash stretched out his hands, making the same pose as Gengar.

Immediately afterwards, the Shadow Sphere's suppression speed suddenly increased several times!

In an instant, the illusionary beam was suppressed and struck Alakazam hard!

"Hu!!"

Alakazam is inherently a high-attack, low-health character. This counter-damage attack left him with his life hanging by a thread!

"It's over! Gengar, Ice Punch!"

"Ginga!"

Gengar burrowed into the ground, then suddenly appeared in front of Alakazam.

A chilling light covered the small, purple hands!

Then, he threw a punch, and the air seemed to freeze!

"boom!"

Alakazam, struck by Freeze Punch, froze instantly and then turned into a crystal-clear block of ice!
