Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master

"What's wrong, Chairman? Why are you sighing and complaining on this bench late at night?"

"Hmm!... It's Ash. Why are you still out so late?"

The sudden sound startled Damaranchi, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was Ash who had taken Pikachu out for a night run.

I immediately changed my mood and called them over.

Ash could only awkwardly pick Pikachu up from the ground, rub its head, and sit down on a bench by the roadside with Damaranchi.

Actually, they weren't out for a night run; they were there to investigate the matter of Mewtwo sensing that special aura earlier.

He couldn't stand the big cat anymore, so he had no choice but to take Pikachu out late at night to find the source.

Unexpectedly, the more they searched, the closer they got to the headquarters of the City Alliance, and they even happened to run into Damalanchi.

Fortunately, the old chairman did not press Ash about why he was wandering around the headquarters. Instead, he talked about tomorrow's match.

"Ash, congratulations on making it to the finals of the tournament again. Your next opponent will be your old friend Gary."

"I heard from Damu that his grandson has made remarkable progress this time. Are you confident you can beat him?"

Damaranchi patted Ash's shoulder with the kindness of a country grandfather, revealing a gentle smile.

He had always greatly admired this talented young man who came from his jurisdiction.

Ash did not disappoint him, delivering outstanding performances in various competitions.

Just like this time, Ash confidently thumped his chest.

"Of course, there's no problem at all!"

"Haha, it's good that you're confident."

In fact, Damaran could also see that the Silver Conference seemed a bit too easy for Ash at the moment.

The only truly threatening opponent is Shigeru.

"Perhaps this child should try to reach a higher level."

Thinking of this, Dama Lanqi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ash, the reason I was so disappointed just now was because Team Rocket's siege plan failed."

"That guy Sakaki managed to escape..."

"Oh, really!"

Upon hearing this news, even the Poké Ball containing Mewtwo in Ash's arms trembled.

"This time, the Four Heavenly Kings from both Johto and Kanto have gone there!"

Is Giovanni really that resilient? Ash is genuinely impressed with him.

Actually, our muscle man doesn't care that much about the fate of the Rockets.

It would be best if the evil organization were gone, but if Team Rocket were still around, it wouldn't be bad to use them as experience boosters to increase reputation and favorability.

But Mewtwo definitely wouldn't want to.

It is gratifying to hear that the culprit who defied the laws of nature, created himself without permission, and caused all the suffering of cloned life is still around.

It wanted to rush out immediately, find Sakaki, and give him a severe punishment.

This forced Xiao Zhi to quickly calm it down.

Meanwhile, Damaranchi, unaware of what had happened, was very pleased to see the serious expression on Ash's face.

"He is indeed an outstanding young man who cares deeply about the safety of the alliance!"

He was finally relieved to tell Ash the most important information.

"Now it's not just Sakaki in our area, but many other areas are also sounding the alarm."

"Supercriminal organizations have been emerging in various places for a long time, which has caused the Alliance a lot of headaches."

"Therefore, the various leagues recently held a joint meeting and decided that it was time to revive the Supreme Pokémon League!"

"The Supreme Pokémon League?"

This strange new term left Xiaozhi somewhat bewildered.

Upon seeing this, Dama Lanqi immediately explained on his behalf.

"It was a parliamentary organization that once existed, above the regional alliances, responsible for unifying and coordinating all regions."

"It was formed by the original founders of the alliance, but it was later abolished in order to allow each region to develop better on its own..."

Of course, this is the official explanation. How could the Supreme Alliance have been disbanded solely for the development of various regions?

There are also deeper conflicts of interest and power struggles between the central and local governments, after all, the world's level of development was never as high as it is now.

In situations where resources are scarce, infighting and backstabbing are inevitable.

Ash is very familiar with this; isn't it the Pokémon world's version of the United Nations? He wonders who the five permanent members of the UN Security Council are.

He actually became interested; Dama Lanqi certainly wouldn't bring this up for no reason.

"President, since it has already been abolished, why revive it now?"

"That's to deal with the endless stream of evil organizations, of course."

"The fact that Giovanni was able to escape with a large number of troops during the second raid on Team Rocket means that even I have to face the threat of evil organizations head-on."

At this point, Dama Lanqi finally revealed the main point of their conversation that evening.

"Ash, I highly admire your character and strength. Young people like you are the future of the League!"

"The specific framework and operation of the Supreme Alliance after its resurrection will be coordinated by a council composed of the presidents of each region."

"And the most important thing is that we plan to select several suitable candidates from all the leagues to serve as the new champions and the Four Heavenly Kings!"

"The Supreme Alliance?"

“That’s right, from the Supreme Alliance!” Damaranchi nodded vigorously.

"The Supreme Alliance is unique in nature; it does not belong to any region, which means it can belong to all regions."

"The symbolic status and potential power of the Supreme League champion are too great, and further coordination among the regions is needed."

"But the Four Heavenly Kings can be selected first, and the Four Heavenly Kings of the Supreme Alliance will be given a greater mission."

"The problem is that I'm having trouble deciding who to recommend for the election..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Why are you telling me all this, Chairman?"

At this moment, the president finally revealed his sly smile.

"Ash, I hope you can represent the Kanto region in the selection. The Elite Four of the Supreme League have the same status and treatment as the champions of other regions, which is great!"

"It's in theory?!"

These unreliable modifiers increased Xiaozhi's suspicions.

"It's not appropriate for me to be the president. My Champion Alliance hasn't even participated yet, we don't even have the qualifications to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings, and yet we're going to participate in the selection for the Supreme Alliance's Four Heavenly Kings..."

If it's a job that gives the president such a headache, it doesn't sound like a good job, so Ash wouldn't do it.

"Besides, I'm going to become a Pokémon Master. If I become one of the Elite Four, I won't be able to travel to different places."

"Wouldn't it be better to send one of the Four Heavenly Kings, like A-Wu or Kona?"

The president was naturally prepared for Ash's refusals.

"No, no, no, Ash, you're the most suitable. The Elite Four of the Supreme League don't need to be stationed in a region for a long time; they're very free."

"Although you only have the title of regional league champion right now, Professor Oak and I have great confidence in your strength."

"And Ash, you don't know, Lance and the others have served as the Elite Four for many years and have developed their own unique training styles."

"It's still troublesome to leave a familiar environment abruptly, after all, it's not like I'm going back to enjoy life."

"Becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Supreme Alliance requires fulfilling obligations. They are already top figures in their respective alliances, so they might not necessarily want to go."

What a joke! Send your own region's Four Heavenly Kings! The reason Damaranqi disagreed with this for so long was because the alliance was short-handed.

As the eldest brother of all regions, it would be inappropriate for the Kanto region not to send anyone. If other regions followed suit, what would be the point of the Supreme Alliance?

But back then, when A-Du was tricked into coming here to serve as the champion by those old bastards from the Johto region, Da-Ma-Lan-Chi was already heartbroken.

If one of the Four Heavenly Kings were to be missing, he would feel like dying.

As for that damned Champions League, let it go!

Damaranchi immediately gave Ash a tempting smile, like a chrysanthemum.

"The Champions League is too complicated, the preparation time is too long, and the subsequent arrangements for the Challenge of the Champions Road are even more troublesome."

"So in order to shorten the selection process and attract more outstanding trainers to join, I have discussed it with the presidents of other regions."

"The Champions League is suspended as a special case; the top priority is to deal with the evil organization."

"As long as a trainer has won the League Championship three times, his strength will be recognized by the League and he will be eligible to be nominated for selection. I believe this will not be a problem for you, Ash."

"The Four Heavenly Kings of the Supreme Alliance do not need to be stationed in a certain region for a long time. They are only responsible for going to various regions to assist the local alliance in eradicating the increasingly rampant evil organizations."

While this meant losing many of the benefits of the Four Heavenly Kings being "local tyrants," it greatly increased their freedom.

"Xiao Zhi, think it over carefully."

President Damaran handed Ash a brochure filled with information about the Elite Four's benefits.

"Right now, we're just recommending people to participate in the selection process; it's not time for the final decision yet."

"I've tentatively decided on you and Shigeru for the Kanto region. As for who will actually go, that will be decided by the final outcome of this Silver Tournament."

Ash took the booklet and quickly opened it, then looked at it carefully with Pikachu.

"...What?! The Four Heavenly Kings have so much power!"

Xiao Zhi was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of privileges; he scanned them for a long time but still hadn't finished.

"Okay, I'll do it!"

Chapter 337 The Finals Begin

"Ladies and gentlemen, the thrilling final match of the Silver Tournament has finally begun!"

"After a month of fierce competition, the two trainers who are also from Pallet Town have finally stepped onto this stage that everyone is watching."

"Ash and Gary!"

"What kind of exciting battle will they bring us...?"

As the final match of the Silver Tournament, it was naturally held in an extremely grand manner.

Not only was it held in the largest stadium where the opening ceremony took place, but the tens of thousands of seats were also filled well in advance.

Even radio stations came to broadcast the battle live, after all, this was a battle between two trainers recognized by legendary Pokémon.

The ratings are sure to skyrocket.

Meanwhile, Sundae, who had inside information about Ash, was on-site early in the morning, setting up the perfect camera position for her own TV station.

When the champion and president took their seats, it was time for the contestants to enter, and they were even greeted with an opening cannon salute.

"Oh, that person is the chairman of the Johto region."

The chairman of the Johto region was a short, stout old man.

Even though it was his home turf, Ash had never seen him before, which made Ash think that Damaranchi was the chairman of the Johto region.

Although it seems reasonable to say this given the special relationship between the two regions, since Damaranchi often comes to the capital to serve as acting president.

Walking down the corridor and listening to the cheers around them, Ash and Pikachu on his shoulder both felt a surge of excitement.

"This is the final battle in the Johto region, Pikachu, we must win!"
