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

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to choose a wood gecko!"

"what?"

"dad?"

At this moment, the uncle seemed completely captivated, speaking to the tree spirit with a look of utter rapture.

"Round eyes, big mouth, and a soft tail—every part of it is incredibly cute!"

He immediately asked Joey.

"Miss Nurse Joy, there shouldn't be an age limit for becoming a Pokémon Trainer, right?"

“Of course,” Miss Joy said with a gentle smile.

"The League always welcomes more and more people to become Pokémon Trainers and experience the wonders of Pokémon."

"That's great!" The man submitted his application to become a Pokémon Trainer on the spot.

The father and daughter each picked up their respective Pokémon.

"Please take good care of me from now on, Treekie."

"Let's work together, Mudkip!"

"Great, Treecko and Mudkip."

Although he didn't expect things to turn out this way, he was genuinely happy for both Pokémon to have found their homes.

“Qia Mao, Qia Mao”.

Meanwhile, Combusken was happy that its two friends had found new families, but Ash felt a little sorry for it.

"Sorry, Brompton, it's all because of me that you evolved and weren't chosen."

"Don't worry about that, Ash. Would you like to take care of this strong chicken?"

"Oh, is that alright?"

“Of course.” Nurse Joy now has a very good impression of Ash, considering him a serious and responsible excellent trainer.

"Actually, when I first got this kid back from the league, I was worried that it was a bit too aggressive and lively."

"If it could be cared for by a trainer like you, that would be the best outcome for Combusken."

"During the battle just now, it followed your commands, and it seemed to really like you."

"Oh, really, Mighty Chicken?"

"Chapter." The Mighty Chicken immediately turned its head away arrogantly, but its footsteps gradually moving towards Ash's side did not lie.

It had already acknowledged Ash's strength shortly after they met.

Since that's the case, Ash accepted it without hesitation, taking the Combusken's Poké Ball from Nurse Joy.

"Okay, I got the Mighty Chicken!"

"Pikachu!"

"Great, Ash."

Finally, the three Pokémon found their own homes, and May was also taken back by Jessie for special training.

Soon, the next day arrived.

The Pokémon Contest, the Slateport Tournament, has officially begun.

Chapter 402 Xiaoyao's First Grand Contest

"Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for keeping you waiting."

"The Pokémon Contest, the Slateport Tournament, is about to begin!"

The main venue of the Grand Contest in Slateport City was packed with people, and at that moment, Ms. Vivian, the official host of the Hoenn region, was conducting the opening ceremony.

She first used her sweet voice to explain the specific procedures of the conference to the audience.

"The Grand Contest consists of a first round of grand judging and a second round of grand battles. Each presentation will be scored by three professional and responsible judges."

"They are Mr. Conkenstein, Director of the General Affairs Bureau of the Tournament; Mr. Sugizo, President of the Hoenn Pokémon Fan Club; and Ms. Nurse Joy from Slateport City!"

……

While the pre-match warm-up was taking place in the front field, Ash and his friends had naturally arrived at the venue.

However, instead of going to their seats in the audience, they went backstage to cheer for Xiaoyao.

"It's okay, Xiaoyao. You've put in a lot of effort to train before, so believe in yourself."

"Yes, I, this brilliant genius, even spent a whole day practicing with you. You can definitely do it!"

"Um……"

Although she kept saying it was okay before the match, Xiaoyao's hands were still trembling with nervousness.

However, with Ash and Jessie's comforting words, May's mood relaxed a little.

At that moment, Vivian's voice came through the television in the players' room.

"The first round of judging for the competition has officially begun. The contestants are taking the stage in order of their numbers, and our first round of judging is the stage for captivating acting skills!"

"In this round, the coordinators will need to reveal the beauty and unique style of the moves they have worked together to practice with their respective Pokémon..."

As the host announced their numbers, the contestants went on stage one after another to perform.

Everyone put in 200% effort to win the final tournament. The skill demonstrations were stunning, and the Pokémon were cute and lively.

Xiaoyao became increasingly nervous, thinking, "These people all look so strong."

"Yes, the Pokémon are all trained quite well."

At this moment, Ash noticed May's nervousness, came to her side, and patted her on the shoulder.

"But Xiaoyao, you are by no means inferior to them."

"That's true, but I was the last one to go on stage. With so many strong competitors ahead of me, how could I not be nervous?"

"So who's to blame?"

"Woo~"

This morning, Haruka almost missed the registration deadline because she overslept. Luckily, Musashi, who had participated in the competition, knew the start time of the tournament and pulled her out of bed in time.

Otherwise, Xiaoyao might have made a wasted trip to this grand event again.

But because of this, Xiaoyao became the last contestant to report for the conference, the glorious number 50.

Now, pitifully and anxiously, I await my turn to play.

"Oh, sister, look! It's that annoying guy."

Amidst Xiaosheng's exclamation, Xiaozhi and his friends immediately turned to the television. A familiar, arrogant green-haired man appeared on stage, striking the same affected pose as before.

"Next up is contestant number 24, Xiaoshun!"

"Poison Rose, go!"

Even the way this guy throws the ball is so vain; with a flick of his bangs, he unleashes his poisonous rose.

"Use the petal dance."

But it must be said that Shun's strength is indeed formidable.

The petal dance of the poisonous rose was exquisite, earning a very high impression score from the moment it appeared, followed by a combination attack of magic leaves and paralysis powder.

It immediately earned it the highest score to date, a total of 29.4 points, from the three judges.

"Hey, you guys really came. You saw my performance just now, right? That was truly beautiful."

As soon as he stepped off the field, Shun walked straight toward Ash and his friends, looking extremely smug, not at all like someone coming over to say hello.

"Did you come all this way just to show off to us?"

"Ash, do I look like an immature trainer? I'm just here as a senior trainer coordinator to offer some advice, hoping that someone can at least pass the first round of screening."

But Ash could tell at a glance that this little green guy was obviously not on good terms with anyone in the contestant room because of his arrogant personality.

But he couldn't resist showing off his highest score, so he had to come over and talk to Ash and his friends, the only ones in the room who knew him.

Xiao Zhi knows this arrogant person all too well.

However, Green Hair didn't mean any harm this time, so Ash didn't confront him, but May was thoroughly annoyed by his sarcastic remarks.

"What? I'd approve it even without your advice!"

Green Hair's taunts really angered Haruka, and she was finally motivated to fight.

However, just when everyone thought that Shun would be Haruka's biggest opponent in this match, a new contestant suddenly appeared on stage.

Milotic, the mysterious guardian.

This is a handsome man with long blond hair. He is elegant in demeanor and speaks in a calm tone.

It stunned everyone upon its arrival with its Milotic, attracting all their attention.

Even Xiaozhi and the others in the backstage area were captivated by his performance.

On the stage, Milotic's tail slowly opened, releasing a gentle green wave.

The audience, along with the host and judges, were instantly calmed down.

Milotic's special moves and its own beauty filled the entire Grand Contest venue with charm.

This time, she broke the previous record for the highest score, with all three judges giving her a perfect score.

"Wow, Milotic is so beautiful."

"The most beautiful creature... could be said to be the most suitable Pokémon for the Contest. This contestant number 38, Robert, is no ordinary one."

As a fellow trainer who owns Milotic, Ash could tell that the other person had trained Milotic exceptionally well.

Even in terms of skill mastery and overall aesthetic appeal, it surpasses Ash's Milotic.

Of course, in terms of muscle mass, Ash's Milotic is far ahead.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Strength is also a proof of splendor!": Please take Milotic to a grand tournament and win!]

【奖励：联盟币+3000；攻击+2；特攻+2；自由属性点+2；克雷色利亚的羽毛+1】

"Huh, do I have to participate in the Grand Contest too?" Ash thought to himself, looking at the newly appeared mission in his mind.

He just thought about it casually, how did such a task suddenly come to him?

"Should I participate or not... Cresselia is the dream goddess corresponding to Darkrai."

Ash is somewhat tempted by items related to legendary Pokémon.

"Is it possible to cross over into a new field? ... Forget it, I'll consider it when the opportunity arises later."

The most important thing right now is to watch the current match, so Ash turned his attention to the Milotic on the stage.

"They actually used Milotic's own power to soothe anger and hatred and quell conflict. That's amazing."

Robert's Milotic still amazed everyone present, and Musashi was completely stunned.

"Ah, it's so beautiful, I want one too! Kojiro, Meowth, hurry up and conjure up a Milotic!"

"Oh no, that's impossible. Milotic's evolution is very difficult. Stop choking me, Musashi."

"That's right, Meow! Musashi, if you really want one, Meow can get you an ugly fish."

"No, I want Milotic! I don't want anything other than Milotic!"

"It's simply asking the impossible..."

After Robert's performance, all the other contestants paled in comparison.

There aren't many noteworthy competitors; most of them don't score above 25 points.

Finally, Haruka, number 50, took the stage as the last person to be judged in the first round of the Grand Contest.

Ash and his friends returned to the stands to cheer him on.

With the help of Ash and Jessie, May has made rapid progress.

At least there were no instances of players falling down immediately upon entering the arena due to excessive nervousness.
