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

Xiaoxia quickly invited Professor Oak and the others to sit down.

"Now that Ash is the only one left in Pallet Town, we thought we'd come to the scene to cheer him on."

"The reason we came with Xiaogang is because he was lost in the forest when we found him."

"The destination is also the tournament venue, and since they are Ash's friends, we brought them along."

Xiao Gang cried as he held Da Mu's hand, "If it weren't for your rescue, I probably wouldn't have made it to the venue after the competition."

It seems Xiao Gang is a hopeless case of getting lost.

Ash also saw Misty and the others in the stands and immediately waved to them.

"My dear friend, you absolutely have to win!"

"Ash, you're the only one left in Pallet Town, you can't lose!"

"Mom will be watching over you!"

"Are you guys here to cheer him on, or to add to Ash's anxiety?"

The match time has arrived.

Ash released his Beedrill.

It was still as majestic as ever, its gray body further highlighting the murderous aura of its red eyes.

Kaoru, on the other hand, released a... ordinary Beedrill with a flamboyant gesture.

"The first battle this afternoon is a duel between Beedrill. Will Ash's undefeated Beedrill be defeated, or will the beautiful and elegant Kaoru's Beedrill be victorious?"

"I can't wait!"

"Hey, commentator, what do you mean? Are you implying that I'm the only one who lost?!"

Kaoru took the first attack in this match.

"Beedrill, use Combo Slash!"

He still issues commands with elegance, and his behavior is very pleasing to the eye, but Ash is not the kind of person who appreciates beautiful women during battles.

"Deadly Needle Prick!"

Ash's Beedrill, though a counter-attack, is even faster.

Her Beedrill was too weak; Ash's Beedrill didn't even bother to dodge and went straight for the kill.

The four poisonous stingers collided, and Ash's Beedrill seized the opportunity to deliver a fatal sting.

"Kaoru's Beedrill is unable to battle!"

The referee waved the flag, and Xiaozhi won the first game, but the cheers from the Kaoru cheerleaders became even louder.

"I really can't figure out who won." Xiaoxia looked helplessly towards the cheerleaders. She wanted to shout too, but her voice was too loud as theirs.

"How beautiful, Ms. Kaoru... Go Kaoru!"

Bang, bang! "Aren't you Ash's best friend?!"

At this point, Xiao Gang even betrayed the other side and defected to the enemy because of their beauty.

"Go, Scyther."

That green figure... I never expected that Kaoru's second Pokémon was one that Ash was very familiar with.

"It's a pity we didn't bring Scizor to this match."

"Scyther, Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Deadly needle prick".

Just as Scyther unleashed its attack, several of its clones were pierced through by Ash's Beedrill before they could even move.

The main body was hit and immediately fell to the ground.

"The Scyther has lost its ability to fight."

This flying mantis is equally weak; what's with its Shadow Clone Technique that only has three shadow clones?

Defeating such an opponent is not fulfilling at all.

"Ash's Beedrill is still powerful, easily defeating Kaoru's two Pokémon. What should Kaoru do next?"

But just when everyone thought that Kaoru would definitely unleash some powerful Pokémon...

She took out a new Poké Ball and released a Pokémon that no one expected.

Its head looks like a trumpet, and its body is crooked and twisted, making it look quite funny.

"Oh, Kaoru has sent out a Pokémon that looks really weak, Bellsprout. Is she going to give up?"

"What? Only the first two are watchable, the third one is just there to make up the numbers."

Seeing her opponent release a Pokémon that looked like it was there to make a joke, Misty immediately relaxed.

"No, her opponent is a trainer who made it to the fourth round. She may have looked good on the surface, but she doesn't actually live up to her level of skill," Brock said, offering a different perspective.

"Deadly needle prick".

"Let the trumpet buds charge forward!"

I originally thought that this time it would be the same as before, and I would win without any surprises.

But to Ash's surprise, the trumpet-toothed creature tilted its body and used two leaves to grab Beedrill's stinger.

With a Tai Chi-like gesture, the giant bee was flung away.

Beedrill was injured for the first time in the arena.

"I almost forgot about this guy with the trumpet teeth who knows kung fu."

These trumpet-toothed creatures are masters of Tai Chi; they can deflect most close-range attacks with a soft, yielding approach.

"That's really unreasonable." Ash thought for a moment, "Then why not just use skills that don't require close-range combat!"

"Beedrill uses Pin Missile!"

Kaoru's last desperate resistance also failed. Although Bellsprout was able to dodge at first under the firepower of Beedrill.

But he quickly ran out of strength and was hit by several missiles.

"Bellspout is unable to battle, Ash from Pallet Town wins!"

Chapter Ninety-Three: This is my running buddy

After the competition, Ash came to meet up with his family and friends.

"Ash played exceptionally well in the competition. I never imagined that the boy who used to just stay home and work out every day would become such an excellent Pokémon trainer."

After hearing Professor Oak's words, Misty carefully recalled Ash's methods of training Pokémon.

To train the Pokémon's defense, we'll give it a good beating and send the newly evolved Beedrill to challenge the Queen Bee.

He would jump off a cliff with Pikachu in his arms, then climb back up with the weight on his back, and then keep going to hunt down wild Pokémon.

However, Ash's Pokémon did indeed not have any problems, and they all liked him quite a bit.

Moreover, his strength is quite good; perhaps this is Ash's unique talent.

"Well, Ash is indeed a very outstanding person."

Before they knew it, Xiaoxia's favorability rating had reached the next level.

"I'm embarrassed by all the praise."

But Xiao Zhi's face showed no embarrassment; instead, it was full of expressions that wanted more praise.

Unfortunately, Professor Oak did not grant Ash's wish and instead asked about other things.

"Now Ash has also made it into the top 16. If he wins the match the day after tomorrow, it will be a full-scale 6v6 battle."

Are you ready for Pokémon?

"Of course." Ash's main force had long been eager for more.

"That's good. As long as you want to switch to the Pokémon Lab, the teleportation point will always be open."

Looking around, Ash realized someone was missing. "Speaking of which, where did Brock go? I just saw him in the audience."

"Your friend? He ran in the direction of that contestant, Kaoru, shouting something like 'Big sister, wait for me!'"

Hanako pointed out the direction where his opponent had left in the previous match.

"Xiao Gang is still the same old guy."

Leaving Xiaogang aside, Xiaozhi and the others prepared to go to the canteen in the athletes' village for a meal.

As soon as she arrived at the cafeteria, Hanako's mother took over the kitchen and quickly prepared a large, sumptuous meal, leaving the chefs speechless.

Where is this lady from?

"Ah, what have I been doing all these years as a chef!"

The canteen's chefs are all professional chefs invited by the alliance from all over the region, but now their moral compass is somewhat broken.

Hanako cooks quickly and well, almost as if she's using "shadow clones".

After all, she developed her cooking speed by training Xiao Zhi since he was two years old.

After intense training, strong individuals experience a surge in appetite, and a large meal can instantly repair their damage—this is an ironclad rule of the world.

So Ash has been a big eater since he was a child.

Ah, you asked which world it is? Of course it's the Pokémon world! Or One Piece?

"Now that I'm here, I shouldn't eat any junk food that has no nutritional value!"

She put aside her standard motherly words, threw away the fried chicken in Xiaozhi's hand, and put her freshly cooked food on top.

Xiaoxia now greatly admires Hanako, thinking, "She's so strong! No wonder she raised a superhuman!"

Hanako's cooking skills are indeed better than the cafeteria chefs'; Ash only likes to come here because it's free.

He enjoyed the meal immensely, knowing it was made with his mother's love.

There was a slight mishap when we were leaving; the elevator malfunctioned halfway through its journey.

Seeing the elevator suddenly lose power, Xiao Zhi originally wanted to break through the top and then jump out of the elevator shaft with everyone.

But a boy wearing a green hat who was traveling with him in the elevator stopped Ash.

"Excuse me, could you lend me your Pikachu?"

He disconnected the elevator's power cord and attached it to Pikachu's cheek, and surprisingly, the elevator started moving again.

"He's an electrical engineer."

After they came out, Ash and the boy hit it off immediately.

"Interested in joining an organization that loves tinkering with gadgets?"

It's actually the Red Group. Ash has always been dedicated to improving the efficiency of Pokémon energy utilization.
