Elf: Pikachu Super Revealed, Mortal Body Rivals Gods

Now that the job is done, their follow-up plans have also fallen through.

I originally planned to release the elves and let them catch them all in one fell swoop!

But... with Officer Jenny and Cynthia around, what's the point of playing with the net?! They'll end up in jail with the real bird!

So the Rockets could only retreat with smiles on their faces, before leaving...

"Um... at least tell me your names, okay?"

"Since you said 'at least state your names!'"

Musashi instinctively prepared to begin reciting his lines.

But Kojiro and Nyanko remained incredibly calm!

They reacted swiftly; one covered Musashi's mouth, while the other grabbed his hand, and said with a grin.

"We're just nobodys, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it!"

With that, he grabbed Musashi and quickly left!

Ash and Haru were left completely bewildered.

……

[Da Ye: Hahaha, this is the first time I've seen Team Rocket interrupt their own spellcasting!]

[Cattleya: What else? Although they helped Ash this time, they are still Team Rocket after all. If they're exposed, Cynthia could probably just grab them all and take them back with them!]

[Cynthia: Am I such a heartless person? I wouldn't lay a hand on someone who just helped me, would I?]

[Cadelia: Hmm~ that's true, but they don't know if you'll actually do it, so naturally they'll choose the safest method~]

……

In the video—

The Rockets saga has come to an end.

Ash and Haru successfully captured the Totem Magikarp and Feebas, and rescued many trainers' Pokémon.

And they even met an old friend they hadn't seen in a long time—Cynthia!

We met just now; the situation was urgent, so there was no time for pleasantries.

Now that they had taken care of Team Rocket, Cynthia, Ash, and Haru casually found a bubble tea shop and sat down to chat.

"...Where did Miss Cynthia go before?"

"Let's go participate in the Masters Ranked Tournament! I'm currently ranked second in Masters!"

"Eh!! *2"

Cynthia's words surprised Ash and Haru.

They had considered that Cynthia had already reached Master 8.

But unexpectedly, Cynthia has already reached second place among the eight masters!

Keep in mind that the person ranked above him is the undefeated king, the Pill Emperor!

Aside from that exceptional individual, Cynthia has now reached the pinnacle of trainers!

"So... has Miss Cynthia fought Leon?"

"I fought him, but unfortunately, I lost. Leon's strength is still formidable. If I put aside my archaeological work and focused on training Pokémon, I might still have a chance."

Cynthia shrugged, appearing quite nonchalant.

Perhaps, deep down she felt the same way; if she didn't divide her time between training Pokémon and battling for archaeology,

Even the Pill Emperor wouldn't be her match.

"So Miss Cynthia suffered a defeat this time?"

After speaking, Xiaochun looked at Xiaozhi with a puzzled expression.

Can't you speak properly? What do you mean by "were you defeated in the past"?! That's incredibly offensive!

Ash is exceptionally reliable when faced with crises or during battles!

However, in ordinary times, they often come out with some confusing behaviors and words.

We need to train him to speak properly when we get back!

"Miss Cynthia, Ash means... you only battled once this time?"

Cynthia waved her hand and said with a smile.

"It's okay, I know how Ash talks, and I know he doesn't have any bad intentions."

"Actually, I just played three Masters tournaments this time. Except for the one I lost to Dan, I won the other two."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi instantly became excited.

"With whom? With whom?!"

"Hmm~ Alder, the Unova League champion, and Steven, the former Hoenn League champion. But I heard that Steven is being forced to take over as champion again by Wallace."

"Hoenn is really capricious! They can switch their two champions whenever they want, and if one doesn't have time, they can switch to the other. It seems like they've also appointed their Elite Four. Anyway, they can't beat either of them, so let them do what they want."

Xiao Zhi and Xiao Chun: ...

A champion who can be rotated at will? This is the first time they've ever heard of such a thing!

……

[Adek: Ouch! It hurts so much! Why am I just a background character?!]

[Karuno: I think Wataru's pain is greater than yours!]

[Adeke: Hmm? Tell me more!]

[Dalmata: Heh, didn't you hear what Cynthia said? On the Hoenn side, Wallace and Steven are basically passing the title of Champion back and forth, it's reached the point where whoever wants it can have it.]

[Karuno: But what about Kanto? Lance went through so much trouble but couldn't become the Kanto champion, he was even pushed down to the Johto League champion. Hah, who knows Lance's pain?]

[Cattleya: Now that you mention it... I can almost hear Wataru's heart shattering! What others don't want, Wataru can never attain in her entire life!]

[Yu Longdu: ??? Wait a minute, what are you guys arguing about?! Someone could spend their entire life trying to reach it and still not be able to touch it?! !!]

[Yu Longdu: Didn't you hear what happened during the last Eight Masters roundup?! I'm the champion of the Four Heavenly Kings Tournament! I reckon it won't be long before I become... cough cough, anyway, stop with the bashing!]

[Cadelia: Oh my! You've learned your lesson, no more raising the flag? As expected of you, A-Du, when someone's predictions are so jinxed that even they're afraid of it, then those predictions... are definitely true!]

[Dragon Crossing: ...]

I really want to refute it... but I'm powerless to do so!

hateful! !

He was genuinely scared! Scared of his own jinx!

If he actually said that, he's afraid he'll never win the Kanto championship in his entire life!

That's what it means that people's joys and sorrows are not the same!

Daigo patted his chest in relief.

Fortunately, no one is talking about him.

As mentioned in Cynthia's first sentence, besides Alder, the other Master Eight she defeated was...

In this world, the one he lost to was Dan Di.

390 hasn't fought Cynthia yet.

However, he believed that his strength should be no less than Cynthia's... but he was proven wrong in the video!

No, I need to allocate some of the time I spend collecting stones to training my Pokémon and battling with them!

Even if Cynthia is a goddess of war, losing to a woman... is just too inconsistent with his status as a nobleman of Hoenn!

(I'm not discriminating against women! Don't box, I'll surrender if you do!)

……

In the video—

After chatting for a while, Cynthia suddenly thought of something and asked a question.

"Ash, you participated in the World Championships too, right?"

"Yes! My goal is to battle against Mr. Leon and Ms. Cynthia! But I'm still at the Poké Ball level... so I can't battle against you yet, Ms. Cynthia."

Cynthia smiled and pulled out a flyer.

"Ash, you can battle me anytime you want~ It just won't count towards the ranking battles, it's not that we can't battle, but... you should take a look at this first."

The Sinnoh champion naturally doesn't accept every challenge.

But if Ash is the challenger, then it's a different story.

Not only is she very familiar with Ash, but Ash is no longer a weakling.

She saw it recently when she was checking the league news.

A boy became the champion of the newly established Alola League, and the photo on it was none other than Ash!
