Pokémon, Inkaros, my starter Pokémon

Incaros was not inactive; a dazzling and sacred golden light was quietly spreading across his pair of enormous, pale green arm blades!

The light was faint at first, but gradually grew brighter, like breathing...

The energy of light... has slowly begun to coil around the blade!

Both...

One of them condensed in the sky with super-powerful radiance that could shatter spirits.

One is that the earth contains a sharp blade of light that can cut through everything!

The entire audience held their breath in unison. The huge Rainbow Arena became completely silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. All eyes, including those of trainers across the region watching on television screens, were fixed on the two Pokémon, awaiting the earth-shattering collision!

"The next move... will determine the victor!"

Nazi's father gripped the railing tightly, his knuckles turning white, and he cried out in his heart.

The scene at the Jade Rainbow Arena seemed to freeze for half a minute.

The energy radiating from both sides had reached its peak, like two suns of different colors, illuminating the entire arena!

Finally, the Alakazam in the air was the first to complete the final compression of energy!

The pink, super-powerful sphere had expanded to its limit, its internal power distorting space itself. Sabrina's face was ashen, her mental energy nearly depleted, but the moment she saw the sphere take shape, a final glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and she screamed with all her might:

"Now...defeat it!!! Alakazam!!!"

"Hu...di—!!!"

Hudi thrust his arms forward with a sudden burst of energy!

That pink super-energy torrent, brimming with the combined power and conviction of itself and Sabrina, powerful enough to shatter mountains, crashed down upon Incaros on the ground with terrifying force, like a galaxy bursting its banks or a meteor falling from the heavens!

The power of this attack made Lance, who was in the VIP seats, shrink his pupils. He could feel that even his strongest Dragonite would not dare to take this attack, which had risen to its limit, head-on!

The destructive torrent instantly engulfed Incaros's figure, the light so blinding it was impossible to open one's eyes.

However, just when everyone thought Incaros would be completely submerged, Tokito's voice... pierced through the roar of energy!

"Incaros, unleash! Sky-Slaying Soaring Sword!!!"

"India-Kadah-!!!"

An ancient roar erupted from the torrent of light!

The next moment, an extremely brilliant and dazzling golden light blade burst forth, like the first ray of light after the creation of the world. The blade actually went against the current and fiercely cleaved through the destructive pink super-energy torrent!

This light-based physical attack has a 100% hit rate!

The moment the sword erupted, the entire sky seemed to be cleaved in two by this golden blade, and the pink energy surge rolled and dissipated to both sides like fragile cloth!

finally……

It couldn't stop that golden blade in the slightest!

Alakazam's expression shifted from resolute to utter astonishment and disbelief in an instant!

The stalemate lasted for less than five seconds.

The golden Sky-Slaying Sword, with unstoppable force, completely tore apart the ultimate spiritual power. Its remaining sharp energy pierced through the Judgment Blade in the void and instantly swept past Hu Di's body!

The Henan's Light-type moves are super effective against Psychic-types!

"Hu...di..."

The light in Alakazam's eyes quickly dimmed, the spoon in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," his superpowers instantly dissipated, and his body fell limply from the air, crashing heavily onto the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

His eyes were closed, and he had completely lost the ability to fight.

this moment……

The whole place was dead silent!

It was as if time itself had frozen at that moment.

Everyone stared wide-eyed and gaped, looking incredulously at the proud green figure standing tall in the arena, the dissipating pink energy in front of it, and the fallen Alakazam.

Immediately afterwards, the long-accumulated volcano suddenly erupted, and the deafening roar and screams instantly broke the silence, engulfing the entire Jade Rainbow Arena!

The referee was stunned for a long time before he suddenly reacted, quickly stepped forward to examine the flag carefully, forcefully swung down the flag in his hand, and loudly announced with all his might:

"Alakazam is unable to battle! Therefore, the ultimate winner of this Gym Qualifying Challenge is—Tokito, the Fighting Gym Leader of Saffron City!!!"

"It's here—!!!"

The host's voice cracked with ecstatic joy:

"The ultimate winner is—Gym Leader Time Fighting!!! Let's give him, Incaros, and all the Pokémon who displayed amazing strength the warmest applause and cheers!!!"

"Whoa—!!!!!"

A deafening roar of applause and cheers swept in like a tsunami. Everyone spontaneously stood up to pay tribute to this spectacular and ever-reversing match, and to the newly appointed and powerful gym leader!

"That's incredible! The final strike... killed him instantly!"

"Fighting-type defeated Psychic-type, breaking the ironclad rule of type advantage!"

"Mr. Tokito! Incaros! So cool!"

In the audience, Xiaoxia's eyes shone with admiration; she had already regarded Shi Dou as her idol for striving.

Ash clenched his fists, his whole body trembling with excitement, and looked at Toki in the arena, his eyes filled with boundless longing:

"Pikachu, did you see that? That's true power! In the future, I will definitely become stronger and defeat Mr. Tokito!"

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu nodded vigorously, its cheek sacs crackling with electric sparks.

Shigeru, Raiji, Shinji, and the others were also deeply shocked and remained silent for a long time. This strength far exceeded the scope of their peers.

In the corner, Flying-type Elite Four member, Lance, let out a long sigh and slowly said, "Impressive... That golden blade seemed to pierce through heaven and earth, and also pierced through conventional understanding. Tokito... I'll remember you."

P.S.: I originally planned for 15,000 words per chapter, but I thought I'd split it up... So I'll finish this update all at once today. Please vote!

Chapter 81 Ash: Wait a minute!? Can my old badge still be used?

In the arena, amidst deafening cheers, Shi Dou rushed forward, hugged Incaros tightly around the neck, and exclaimed joyfully, "We did it! Incaros, you're the best!"

"Inka!"

Incaros lowered his head, nuzzled against Shidou affectionately, and let out a low, joyful growl.

On the other side, Sabrina silently walked to Alakazam's side, knelt down, gently stroked its unconscious forehead, recalled it into its Poké Ball, and whispered words of comfort:

"It's okay, it's not your fault... We... just encountered a stronger opponent."

This was Sabrina's first defeat in her and Alakazam's lives, a bitter experience, but it also showed her the higher peaks to climb.

After a moment of contemplation, Naz stood up and walked towards Shidou.

The two exchanged a glance and began the standard post-match etiquette.

Sabrina: "A fantastic battle. Your skill... I acknowledge it."

Tokito: "Sabrina and Alakazam are also very strong, this will be a tough battle."

After exchanging pleasantries, Sabrina nodded, then said with a strangely persistent tone, "This is my first defeat... So, Gym Leader, you have to take responsibility for me. From now on, I will keep chasing you until I completely defeat you and pin you down so you can't move."

Shi Dou: "..."

Something doesn't sound right about that!

It's like I did something weird and I need to take responsibility for it?!

and……

"I'll pin you down so you can't move."

That's even weirder now!

Tokito only wants to be on top!!!

At the same time, the host's voice rang out again throughout the venue: "Next, let's give another round of applause to congratulate Mr. Shidou on officially becoming the officially certified Fighting Dojo Master of Saffron City!!! We look forward to him bringing even more exciting battles to all challengers in the future!"

Amidst thunderous cheers, Tokito and his spirits reveled in their hard-won victory.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, the Yuhong Arena hosted a grand closing ceremony that night, with dazzling fireworks blooming in the night sky, bringing a brilliant end to this spectacular competition.

As soon as he left the contestant passage, Shi Dou was immediately surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for a long time.

"Gym Leader Shidou, what are your thoughts on defeating Miss Sabrina?"

"The light during Incaros's evolution was amazing. What kind of spirit was that?"

What are your plans for the future of your martial arts dojo?

"Thank you all for your attention. For more stories and daily life with me and the Pokémon, please follow my live streaming account, 【The Otherworldly Journey of the Fighting Dojo】. We will continue to share exciting battles and snippets of our lives!"

Faced with a barrage of questions, Shi Dou responded calmly with a smile, demonstrating both respect for his opponent and confidence in his own abilities.

Of course, Shi Dou would never miss this excellent opportunity for publicity.

Along with the promotion and the ultimate victory of this live broadcast across the entire region, the special bracelet on Shi Dou's wrist became slightly warm, indicating that the number of fans was rising at an astonishing rate.

Shi Dou was secretly delighted.

At this rate, we'll soon be able to unlock the permission to summon a fifth Pokémon!

Just then, a VIP walked over, surrounded by staff—

It was none other than Chairman Damaranchi of the Pokémon League.

"Haha, young man, what a fantastic match!" Chairman Damaranchi laughed and patted Shidou on the shoulder, continuing, "Your performance exceeded everyone's expectations. Not only are you incredibly strong, but your tactics are also highly innovative. The League looks forward to your future performance as the official Gym Leader of Saffron City."

"Thank you for your recognition and encouragement, Chairman. I will continue to work hard and live up to the name of the Master." Shi Dou replied respectfully.

President Damaranchi nodded in satisfaction, then took a tray covered with red velvet from his assistant and announced loudly to the audience and media who had not yet completely left:

"Hereby officially announce that the official emblem of the Saffron City Fighting Dojo, headed by Gym Leader Time-Fighter, has been officially confirmed as the Saffron Emblem!"

President Damaranchi lifted the velvet cloth, revealing an exquisitely designed badge that gleamed under the light.

As we all know, the golden badge that Sabrina previously awarded was a basic design, shaped like a golden coin, symbolizing the simplicity and mystery of the psychic type.

Of course, it is said that this was because Naz felt that the design was too complicated, so she directly used the basic version.

To differentiate it from the Fighting-style characteristics of the Time Fighting Gym Leader, this new badge was specially customized.

The initial design was a clenched fist, symbolizing the power of the fighting style. However, Shi Dou suggested modifications, and the final design was changed to three parallel, sharp, upward-pointing claw patterns!

This retains the aggressiveness of Fighting-type Pokémon while incorporating the characteristics of the individual player and their Pokémon, resulting in a powerful and fast-paced design.

Of course, most importantly, this is the official attribute icon for combat attributes in the Henan ship world.

The new badge design has drawn widespread praise.

In the audience, Xiaozhi, Xiaogang, and others were also happy for him.

Ash took out his old Golden Badge, which looked like a golden coin, and compared it with the newly announced Claw Badge. He sincerely said, "Mr. Shidou's new badge is so cool! It's full of power!"

However, as soon as Xiao Zhi finished speaking, Xiao Gang, who was standing next to him, stroked his chin thoughtfully and asked a crucial question:

"Wait... Ash, if your badge was awarded by Sabrina, it means you passed the test of the Psychic Gym. Now that Mr. Toki has become the Gym Leader of the Fighting Gym and is using a brand new badge... does that mean your old gold badge, which represents the Psychic Gym, is no longer valid in the League's official records?"

Ash: "...Eh?! (((;???;)))"

Pikachu: "Pika?! Σ(°△°|||)︴"

A moment of silence fell over the room as Brock and Misty realized the somewhat awkward yet amusing situation. Ash stared at the badge he had worked so hard to earn, his expression instantly becoming incredibly interesting.

No way...?

…………

In Celadon City, the morning sun streamed through the windows of the Pokémon Center, bathing the group who had just finished a fierce battle. The clamor of the closing ceremony had faded away, and it was time to say goodbye.

"Mr. Tokito, you're going back to Goldenrod City to officially take over the Guild Hall, right?" Tsuyoshi asked while packing his luggage.

"Yeah, finally we have a proper base. We'll be busy from now on," Shi Dou replied with a smile, then looked at Xiao Zhi and said, "Xiao Zhi, are you going to stay here and challenge Ms. Rika from the Rainbow City Gym?"

Ash nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. "That's right! I must get the Rainbow Badge!"
