Chapter 19

【Gradually the light dissipated, and a puppy-like Pokémon appeared in Ash's eyes.】

【"Riolu." Ash muttered, "Professor Oak, you really gave me a huge surprise."】

Steven: "Riolu, why is it Riolu? Wallace, give me an explanation."

Phoebe: "Didn't we agree it was a Water-type Pokémon?"

Diantha: "Pitifully tricked by this guy Wallace."

Wallace: "Hey hey hey, don't push all the responsibility on me, okay? My original words were that there is a high probability of it being a Water-type Pokémon; I didn't say it was 100% a Water-type Pokémon."

Flint: "I really believed your evil, Wallace."

Flint, who answered incorrectly twice in a row, was tearful. For the next two questions, he could only watch from the sidelines.

Korrina: "Got it right, got it right. Yay, yay, yay."

Amidst Korrina's cheers, the system began to distribute the quiz rewards.

【Ding, the top three of this prize quiz are Korrina, Bye, Bye.】

【Congratulations to one person for receiving the reward!】

【Respondent Korrina, reward: Part of the combat experience of Ash's Lucario.】

Ash: "Lucario? When did I capture Lucario?"

【Future.】

The system explained coldly.

Gary: "This reward is very average; it can't be compared with the Legendary Pokémon rewards obtained by Ash and Grandpa at all."

Diantha: "Yeah, yeah, and it's not the full combat experience, just a part of the combat experience. This is too stingy."

Malva: "Feel sorry for Korrina for a second."

Not only Malva felt sorry for her, but Korrina also felt sorry for herself. She finally got a question right, but who would have thought the reward would be unsatisfactory.

However, having something is better than having nothing. Holding this mentality, Korrina opened the reward package.

30: Ash, Eight Masters! Crush Raihan! (Ask for flowers, evaluation tickets)

Korrina opened the reward package.

At this moment, a brand new world opened up to Korrina.

Her eyes went dark, and when she came back to her senses, Korrina and Lucario had arrived at a strange arena.

In her ears were the cheers of the audience, and in the field, two trainers were battling.

The trainer on the left had dark skin and was nearly two meters tall. Korrina and Lucario, sitting in the first row, had to look up to see his appearance.

"It's Mr. Raihan."

Raihan's features were still very obvious; Korrina recognized him at once.

At this moment, the trainer battling Raihan was the contestant Ash from Pallet Town.

Both sides only had one Pokémon left; the battle had reached a white-hot stage.

Raihan recalled Duraludon into the Poké Ball and shouted excitedly: "Let's go wild, my partner."

The Dynamax Band on Raihan's wrist shone brightly, starting to inject Dynamax energy into the Duraludon in the Poké Ball.

"Blow it away along with the arena!!!"

"Gigantamax."

Accompanied by Raihan's loud shout, Gigantamax Duraludon appeared.

It was a full 43 meters tall, and you couldn't see the end at a glance.

Is such a monster really something Lucario can contend with?

Korrina and her Lucario looked at each other, their eyes filled with nothing but shock.

When Korrina and Lucario were dragged into the other world, the system in her world also had new movements.

A brand new big screen appeared; this was specifically used by the system to broadcast the battle between Raihan and Ash.

Chat room.

Raihan: "It looks like I've won this battle; my Gigantamax Duraludon hasn't lost to any of Leon's other opponents."

Gary: "Is there something wrong with my eyes? Ash and Mr. Raihan are battling? And it's not a normal Gym guidance battle, it's actually an official ranking match."

Leon: "Raihan's Gigantamax Duraludon is very strong; even if it were me, if I didn't go all out, I would lose."

Cynthia: "In that case, Ash at this time already has the strength to challenge the Champion. It's incredible, how old is he!"

Flint: "Heh, does anyone really think that the Ash in our world isn't strong?"

Lance: "It depends on who you compare him with. If you compare him with Dark Ash, then it's too far behind, but compared with anyone else, he's not bad, and this 'anyone' also includes me."

Volkner: "What about Will? Where did that guy named Will go? Didn't you say that Ash, whose starter Pokémon is Pikachu, has no future at all? Speak, come out and speak."

Speak, what is there to speak?

At this time, he must be playing dead. He, Will, is not a fool; jumping out at this time isn't that just asking for mockery?

【In front of Gigantamax Duraludon, Lucario was as small as an ant, but even as an ant, Lucario didn't lose its courage.】

【"David" rushed towards "Goliath the Giant" without fear.】

【Lucario used Double Team to disturb Gigantamax Duraludon's vision and seized the opportunity to use the Aura Sphere skill.】

【It was just like scratching an itch; consecutive Aura Spheres hit Duraludon's body, causing almost no damage. Conversely, Duraludon's counterattack left Lucario with no power to parry.】

【One attack and one defense, after just two rounds, Lucario showed signs of defeat.】

【Raihan didn't let up and had Gigantamax Duraludon use its ultimate move—G-Max Depletion.】

【G-Max Depletion is a unique skill of Gigantamax Duraludon. Pokémon hit by this skill will have their stamina consumed rapidly.】

【Seeing Lucario hit by G-Max Depletion, a smile appeared on Raihan's face; the outcome was decided.】

Bruno: "It's not bad for Ash to be able to get here, after all, his opponent is Raihan."

Everyone knows that although Raihan is nominally just a Gym Leader, he has the strength to fight a Champion.

It's not shameful for Ash to lose to such an opponent.

Lorelei: "Being able to fight Raihan to the end, Ash's Lucario has at least Elite-level strength. Part of the combat experience of an Elite-level Lucario, this reward is actually not too bad."

Lance: "It definitely can't be compared with the Legendary Pokémon rewards obtained by Ash and Professor Oak, but it's barely acceptable."

Just when everyone thought this battle could be settled, a change occurred.

【Lucario, entangled by the weakening energy, suddenly closed its eyes, and Ash on the sidelines did the same. One person and one Pokémon, at this moment, became one.】

【Aura was gathering, and a huge Aura Sphere appeared in Lucario's palm. It wasn't over yet; Lucario was still continuously inputting Aura energy into the Aura Sphere.】

【Holding the Aura Sphere above its head with both hands, under the impact of the Aura, G-Max Depletion was shattered.】

【At this moment, there was no G-Max Depletion energy in the center of the battlefield, only the power of Aura remained.】

【"What is that?" Raihan looked at Lucario in the field in a daze.】

【Raihan, who had come back to his senses, tried to have Gigantamax Duraludon use Max Rockfall for defense, but it was useless. The super-huge Aura Sphere penetrated the rock and killed it in one hit.】

【The whole audience was stunned.】

(Flowers, evaluation tickets, monthly tickets, rewards, please, please, please, please, please!!!)

31: Dark Ash's first battle, opponent is Boss Giovanni! (Ask for flowers!)

The audience watching the video through the screen were all shocked, let alone Korrina and Lucario, who watched the normal game almost face-to-face in the VIP seats.

The game had been over for a while, and they had even been teleported back to their own world.

They were still dull-eyed and speechless.

After a long while, Korrina slowly came back to her senses.

Korrina: "Too, too, too amazing."

Flint: "Produced by the system, it must be a boutique. Who else is complaining that this reward is average? Just learn from Ash's Lucario; even if you learn a little bit, it's enough to benefit you for a lifetime!"

Raihan: "Lost, lost, I actually lost just like that."

Raihan still hasn't come back to his senses.

What happened to being invincible under Leon? How could he not even beat an eleven or twelve-year-old kid?

Ah ah ah! Damn it!

That is to say, there was no crack in the ground nearby; if there were, Raihan would have drilled into it with a swoosh.

Leon: "No need to be depressed, Raihan, losing to Ash's Lucario is not shameful. If it were me and my Charizard, I might not be able to take them both down."

Maylene: "It's unscientific, how was such a large Aura Sphere condensed? My Lucario has tried it several times and hasn't succeeded."

Volkner: "Flint is right, learn from Ash, learning is endless."
