"Your surname isn't Qiuyue, is it?"

Looking at the blond, muscular man in a school uniform across from him, Ash broke out in a cold sweat again.

"how do you know?"

"Feraligatr, push!" Ash didn't want to stay in this arena for another second.

Ash's Feraligatr was caught off guard by the sudden attack. After they reacted, they began to struggle, but Feraligatr was quickly pushed out of the field.

Ash easily won the second match.

"Ah, Father, I have failed you in the experience you have given me..."

"If you have a name that evokes the image of a father's love as solid as a mountain, then please don't say anything that might cause misunderstandings!"

Ash just hopes that his next opponent won't be someone from Luxtown.

Unfortunately, his opponent in the third match was...

"This match features Sylvie from Luxtown against Ash..."

"Silver-white hair, scars on her face...it's definitely Sylvie."

It's just a pity that the gender and muscle mass don't match.

"What's going on with this town?!" Ash couldn't take it anymore.

"As a mixed-race individual from Unova and Johto, I am determined to prove in this sumo tournament that even though I am of mixed blood, I am still a true Rikishi Town native!"

Sylvie on the other side is full of fighting spirit.

"I think you're quite authentic to have this name!" Ash wanted to end the battle immediately.

"Is this sumo tournament only open to people from Sumo Town?"

Actually, no. There were a total of 200 qualified participants in the tournament, and only 20 of them were from Hercules Town, but Ash was lucky enough to run into them all.

"Damn it, just lose!"

Once again, Ash decisively defeated his opponent, securing his third consecutive victory and advancing to the finals of the sumo tournament.

"Xiao Zhi is amazing! This is the first time a newcomer has made it to the finals. But how did he do it?"

After defeating its formidable rival Blastoise, Thunder came to Ash's side.

Next up is the grand final, a match between Raiden and Ash, a battle between a temporary sumo teacher and student.

But Ash was lying face down on Misty's lap, motionless, and Misty could only apologize to Raiden helplessly.

"Xiao Zhi said he suffered a huge emotional trauma, and he's been like this ever since he came back."

However, Ash finally got up at this moment. He still had to muster his energy to face the lightning, after all, the other party's name was so normal.

Yesterday, Ash's Feraligatr had just evolved and wasn't familiar with its own power, so it was brutally defeated by Thunder's Feraligatr in the sumo match, thanks to Thunder's rich experience.

Ash and Feraligatr are both holding their breath in frustration.

"Mr. Thunder, Mighty Crocodile and I will definitely win the final this afternoon!"

"Hahaha, bring it on!"

Time quickly passed and it was afternoon. Ash and Raiden arrived at the battlefield with their respective Feraligatrs.

Because it was the finals, there were the most spectators, and all the seats around were packed.

The referee was already on high alert and immediately waved his fan once both sides were ready.

"The Mighty Crocodile launched a series of powerful thrusts, aiming first at the opponent's abdomen!"

Ash's Feraligatr is a whole head taller than Raiden's Feraligatr, so Raiden can only aim at the right spot to attack.

"Mighty Crocodile grabs its opponent's arms and pulls them backward!"

In Pokémon Sumo, you can't use moves; it's all about using the power of your Pokémon. You win by throwing your opponent out of the ring.

Therefore, Ash has now chosen to outsmart his opponent and use their strength to launch a counterattack.

His crocodile was pushed back uncontrollably by the opponent, but just as it was about to reach the edge of the boundary, it seized the opportunity, grabbed the arm of the raptor, and swung it backward.

"Hold on, Mighty Crocodile!"

However, the Thunder Crocodile lived up to its reputation as an experienced veteran. It did not lose its balance and quickly regained its footing, immediately turning around to counterattack.

"Mighty Crocodile, now's your chance to charge!"

"Oh dah, oh dah!"

"Oh no, the position is not good for us, Mighty Crocodile, get out of the way!"

But Ash's Feraligatr couldn't do as he wished; the reason he kept losing yesterday was because he wasn't familiar with it.

Ash's Feraligatr has now mastered his power, thanks to the addition of Force and Life Orb.

One force can overcome all techniques; the opponent's Thunder Crocodile's skills are no longer applicable.

Furthermore, it's important to know that Ash's Feraligatr has always loved tap dancing since his Totodile days. His leg strength is incredibly powerful, and his speed far surpasses that of Thunder's Feraligatr.

This is a victory for numbers!

Feraligatr was pushed backward by Ash's Feraligatr. It was already very close to the edge of the boundary, and with this push, it quickly stepped out of the boundary.

"Ash wins!"

"Well done, Feraligatr!" Ash immediately picked up Feraligatr to celebrate.

"Oh dah, oh dah!"

[Ding! Mighty Crocodile: Affection +2; Intimacy +2]

"This is incredible! The Pokémon Sumo Tournament champion was actually won by a newcomer who was participating for the first time!"

The surrounding audience immediately burst into applause, and the scene erupted in cheers.

"Oh dear, we were too careless and reckless. I didn't expect you and Feraligatr to improve so quickly."

Yesterday's consecutive victories against Ash made Raiden think that he had the sumo championship in the bag, but he never expected to be upset.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the new mission "The King of Wrestling in the Locker Room" (This is sumo wrestling, for crying out loud!): Use your powerful muscles to defeat all your opponents!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +4000; Attack +1; Stamina +1; Free Attribute Points +2]

After the match, Ash and Feraligatr received the Yokozuna-class medal from the Pokémon Sumo Association, and their portraits were hung on the town's large bulletin board.

Then Ash continued to train Feraligatr with Raiden, learning the Earthquake move he hadn't finished learning before.

Ash had already learned most of it before, but now he wants Feraligatr to master it completely.

Ash originally planned to spend another half day learning, but soon he urged Feraligatr to finish learning in one night.

Because of the Thunder Gym, Ash accidentally overheard a love triangle gossip involving Muscle Rain, Muscle Ellie, and Muscle Sylvie.

"Oh my god, where is this place?!" Ash immediately packed up the prize, picked up Misty, and fled in panic.

————Surprise attack with a high five————

After leaving Hercules Town, Ash carried a completely bewildered Misty along the main road for half a day.

Although Ash slowed down slightly to take care of Misty's endurance, they still quickly arrived at the grassland where the airship base was located.

Having left the troublesome town of Rikkuri, Ash took a deep breath and relaxed, gazing at the bright sunshine and boundless grassland before him.

"Wow, the grassland!"

Just then, a huge spaceship flew over their heads and headed towards the base in the distance.

Looking at the huge airship in the sky, Ash and Misty both showed excited expressions.

"What a huge spaceship!"

This spaceship was several times larger than the Team Rocket ship they had flown on in the Orange Islands before, and it looked quite impressive.

"That's the airship we'll be riding in later."

Since they were going to a lavish banquet, Xiao Zhi specially bought several suitable formal wear for everyone to change into.

Even Pikachu and Togepi have their own adorable little dresses.

After changing, Ash and his friends showed their invitations and entered the base.

"Little Zhi, you actually arrived early!"

Upon entering the base, Kojiro rushed to greet Ash as soon as he saw him.

This is the social skill of someone from a prominent family!

"Hmm~, there was a small problem, so I came early."

Ash arrived at Rikishi Town half a day early in order to escape.

However, they were just in time for the spaceship to land, so it didn't affect their journey.

However, the red carpet and welcoming team that Kojiro and his crew had carefully prepared could not be used.

"But what about Musashi?"

Ash was surrounded by James and Meowth.

"Musashi went over to confront the teacher who had written the script for our TV series, after hearing that he was also at the dinner party."

"Sorry, we couldn't stop her, meow."

Ash had promised Jessie during the Kanto League tournament that Jessie would be the female lead in a new drama on a TV channel he had bought.

In the end, Ash kept his promise, but to be honest, Jessie's acting was really bad. Even though the investors forced her to become famous, they couldn't make her a star.

The show flopped without making a splash, even though Ash's TV station usually has very high viewership.

Based on its reputation established during the Kanto League Tournament, it can be said to be the most popular Pokémon battle commentary channel in the Kanto and Johto regions.

But given Musashi's self-centered, queen-like personality, it's impossible for her to look for the cause within herself.

He immediately assumed that the script was so bad that he hadn't become famous, and went over to confront the scriptwriter.

Of course, there's also the reason why these TV series were just experimental works that Xiao Zhi used to train his company's photography team, and therefore he didn't allocate resources to focus on them.

After all, Musashi used it all to pursue his dreams.

But Xiao Zhi plans to seriously operate the channel and even intends to establish a film and television subsidiary to get involved in the film industry.

"The goal is to successfully make a movie that would attract a superstar like Karen Mok, and then have it become a huge box office hit!"

However, all of the above was considered as a way to hone the team's skills.

"We can't let Musashi go too far." Ash could already imagine Musashi throwing a tantrum.

"Then the screenwriter should remember to give him some compensation afterwards."

"Don't worry, we've already made preparations." Kojiro and Meowth quickly escorted Ash and the others to meet their business partners.

The airship's interior is luxuriously decorated, truly deserving of its title as the most luxurious airship.

Misty and Pikachu were clearly more interested in the food on the spaceship; they had no interest in meeting any business partners with Ash anyway.

They left first and headed straight for the restaurant on the luxury spaceship.

However, at this moment, they were in the dining hall of the airship.

Serena, who was also holding a plate and happily picking out cute food from the spaceship's buffet, suddenly spotted Ash being surrounded by a large group of people as he passed by.

"Hey, that person who just walked by looked so familiar!"

"Could it be..."

Chapter 263 Serena is such a good girl

"He really looks like Ash Ketchum..."

Unfortunately, by the time Serena wanted to go forward and take a closer look, Ash had already followed the crowd into the interior of the airship.

"Eh~"

With her view blocked, Serena had no choice but to return.

However, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong. "Is Xiaozhi really that tall and strong?"

That's right, in order to increase his pressure when meeting with business partners, Xiao Zhi directly activated the Super Rookie Mode.
