Elf: Pikachu Super Revealed, Mortal Body Rivals Gods

The big-billed magpie's eyes bulged, as if it had been struck a heavy blow.

Then it fell like a shooting star!

"boom!"

A large crater was punched into the solid arena.

When the dust settled, the Great Sparrow was too weak to rise again and had lost its ability to fight.

The Pidgey, on the other hand, soars majestically through the sky!

After evolution, the strength of the two sides, which were originally roughly equal, underwent a dramatic change!

Pidgeot's speed was already beyond the detection range of Pidgeot's sharp eyes.

Therefore, the Pidgeot didn't even have time to react before it was instantly defeated by Pidgeot!

A combination of a fierce hurricane, an air slash, and a Brave Bird's onslaught took down a Finch—perfect!

The subsequent battles need no further explanation.

Ash then sent out Froakie, Bulbasaur, and Tauros in succession.

Froakie tried its best to maneuver, but it was still no match for the opponent's Feraligatr and was captured by Ash.

Thanks to Bulbasaur's efforts, Feraligatr was defeated.

Next up was Tauros versus Hitmonlee, where Ash managed a one-for-one trade despite the type disadvantage.

The fifth opponent switched to a Magmar, while Froakie had a type advantage.

Furthermore, after achieving an initial resonance with Ash's Aura, he defeated his opponent, who was significantly stronger than him!

The Froakie is only a few days old, if it doesn't have any special abilities.

It's really impossible to beat a Magmar that's almost on par with a Gym Leader...

Finally, facing the opponent's Poliwrath, Ash sent out Pikachu, who had been swimming all along.

The opponent was eliminated cleanly and efficiently!

With this, Ash won the semifinals with an overwhelming advantage, even after sacrificing a Tauros!

The Quartz Conference finals will feature a showdown between two players from Pallet Town!

Gary vs. Ash!

The final match will begin tomorrow morning!

Although the outcome of this match is probably no longer in doubt...

……

After Ash and Jiyuan shook hands amicably, they returned to the contestant room.

Sitting in the contestant room, Gary slowly raised his head and spoke to Ash in a very deep tone.

"In the end... it was the two of us who faced off!"

"Ash, just enjoy the feeling of defeat tomorrow!"

Ash: ...?

"Xiao Mao, have you been possessed by Brother Qinglu?"

Xiaomao:......

How did this clueless kid figure it out? Was it because his imitation was too perfect?

Anyway... see you in the finals tomorrow.

"...We can meet in Professor Oak's backyard later."

Xiaomao:? ? ?

Are you going to keep undermining me? Can't you speak properly? If you can't, get someone who can!

"Pikachu~~"

Pikachu laughed heartily on Ash's shoulder, while Gary's face darkened even more.

……

In the afternoon,

Ash and Misty ran to the shopping street near the Indigo League to look for Cynthia.

Because the inventory check is about to begin.

Cynthia hasn't arrived yet.

Diantha said that Cynthia might be in some trouble and asked Ash to come to the shopping district to look for her.

Upon hearing that Cynthia was in trouble, Ash didn't think too much and ran over immediately.

Xiaoxia, sensing something was amiss, said she wanted to help and followed them.

So the two of them searched for Cynthia together in the shopping street.

Finally, they successfully found her at a sales stall.

Cynthia is indeed in trouble! That is—indecisiveness!

"Hmm~ It's such a tough choice. This vanilla flavor looks pretty good, and the white peach flavor is nice too~ And this new Pikachu flavor~ Which one should I get..."

Both vendors were sweating profusely.

They never expected to run into the champion buying their stuff.

You're here, fine... but hurry up and leave after you've bought everything! Why have you been standing here for almost half an hour and still haven't made your choice?

"Miss Cynthia!"

A shout rang out behind Cynthia, briefly relieving her indecisiveness.

"Hey? Isn't that Ash? And Misty too? What brings you two here?"

“We’ve come to see Miss Cynthia! Miss Karuno said you’re in trouble… Is this the trouble you’re in?”

Upon hearing this, Cynthia's expression gradually turned serious, causing Ash and Misty to also become serious.

Could it be that... Cynthia isn't troubled by the ice cream, but by something else?

Otherwise, why would Cynthia have such a solemn expression?

"You guys... are right~~ I'm having trouble deciding which flavor to choose!"

Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi: ...

They were almost knocked to the ground by this feint.

Is this Cynthia's hidden mischievous side?

Xiaoxia thought that this would only happen to Cynthia in the future, but she didn't expect that Cynthia already has this mode now.

"Miss Cynthia, it's almost time to start the inventory. Everyone's waiting for you to come to Oak's lab."

"Okay, right away!"

After saying that, Cynthia turned around and began to focus on making her selections.

Ash and Misty also curiously peered over.

I want to see what kind of ice cream could attract a Sinnoh champion like Cynthia.

When Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi peeked over, the two shop assistants quickly pulled their hats down low.

Even their eyes were covered.

This action caught Pikachu's attention.

Pikachu looked at the two suspiciously... Why did he feel that these two people were familiar to him?

"Pikachu~"

"What's wrong, Pikachu?"

The two shop assistants tensed up, thinking they had been recognized, but then Xiao Zhi shouted happily.

"Hey! They have Pikachu-shaped ice cream here!! Hello, give me two! No, four, please!"

It turns out that Pikachu saw ice cream shaped like Pikachu in the refrigerator.

Whether it tastes good or not, its appearance is undeniably appealing.

Xiao Zhi immediately decided to buy four!

Pikachu, Misty, Cynthia, and him—that's one for each of them.

"Um... thank you for your patronage!"

Two clerks quickly took out four ice creams, and Xiaozhi asked the price before handing over the money.

"Miss Cynthia, would you like any other flavors? Why don't you have one of each?"

Seeing that Cynthia was still hesitant while holding Pikachu, Ash said decisively.

In terms of making choices, if Cynthia suffers from decision paralysis,
