Chapter 79

【Meeting again after a thousand years, the two brothers covered their faces and cried. Why is it like this? It's completely different from the plot they imagined!!!】

Maxie: "Heh, these Alakazam and Gengar also dare to call themselves super-ancient Pokémon? They don't even have the qualifications to tie Groudon's shoes!!!"

Archie: "That's right, that's right, these two super-ancient Pokémon are too trashy. If Kyogre were here, it would definitely make Dark Ash and Mew drink a pot!"

Lance: "Heh, if it were Groudon and Kyogre, then the Pokémon Dark Ash captured now would be them!"

Maxie: "Impossible, Groudon is invincible!!!"

Lorelei: "Then may I ask, can the invincible Groudon fly?"

Maxie: "..."

【After handing over the captured super-ancient Gengar and super-ancient Alakazam to Professor Oak for research, Ash and his friends set off for Indigo Plateau Town.】

【In Indigo Plateau Town, they met Chairman Rose, who came to inspect the road conditions.】

【"You must be Ash." Chairman Rose said with a smile.】

【"You know me, Chairman?" Ash asked curiously.】

【"That's for sure; to let you become a Pokémon Trainer at 9 years old, Professor Oak didn't bother me less at that time. He blew you up like a flower." Chairman Rose shook his head helplessly.】

【If it weren't for Professor Oak's insistence, he wouldn't have made an exception for 9-year-old Ash to become a Pokémon Trainer.】

【"By the way, Ash, do you want to be a sacred flame runner?" Chairman Rose asked suddenly.】

Ash: "Did the me in the parallel world also become a sacred flame runner? Great."

Misty: "Dark Ash is still a bit different from you; he went to the door with a thick skin and begged to be a sacred flame runner, while Dark Ash was personally invited by Mr. Rose."

Ash: "Hmph, if not, how could Misty and Brock become sacred flame runners? Weren't you guys also very happy at that time?"

Brock: "So, sometimes having a thick-skinned partner has its benefits."

Everyone in the chat room originally thought that the sacred flame runner that Chairman Rose invited Dark Ash to be was the same as Ash and his friends, but what they didn't expect was.】

【"What, Chairman, you want me to ignite the flame of the sacred flame platform at the opening ceremony?" Ash was shocked.】

【He is not a person without experience; he knows what a great honor this is. If he remembers correctly, the one responsible for igniting the flame last year was the head of the Kanto Elite Four, the Dragon-type Elite Four Lance.】

【"That's right. I have high expectations for you, Ash."】

【This was not a decision Chairman Rose made by patting his head. After making an exception for Ash to become a Trainer, Chairman Rose had been silently paying attention to Ash in the back.】

【Every time Ash finished a Gym challenge, Chairman Rose would make a phone call to that Gym, asking them to evaluate Ash's performance.】

【Blaine, Lt. Surge, Erika, Koga—these backbone forces of the League all gave Ash very high evaluations, believing that Ash is a true genius Trainer; they even compared Ash to the next Lance.】

【Not only the four of them, but even the veteran Gym Leader of Cinnabar Gym, Blaine, the most difficult Golden Gym Leader, Sabrina, and even that guy Giovanni gave Ash quite high evaluations.】

【It was precisely because of the good reviews from so many top Trainers that Chairman Rose handed the honor of igniting the sacred flame platform to Ash.】

Ash: "Ignite, ignite the sacred flame platform?!"

Ash originally felt that being able to become a sacred flame runner was something to be proud of, but compared to Dark Ash, woo woo woo, he wanted to cry.

Lorelei: "Who exactly compared Dark Ash to the next Lance? This is too lacking in vision; how did such a person become a Gym Leader?"

Lance: "Hey, is the evaluation of being the next me not high enough? I am the most, most popular Trainer in Kanto!!!"

Bruno: "I thought you would shamelessly say that you are the strongest Trainer in Kanto."

Steven: "Lance definitely wouldn't dare to say that the strongest Trainer in Kanto is himself; after all, if someone retorted 'Why isn't the strongest Trainer in Kanto the Champion?', then what would Lance do?"

Lance: "....."

Misty: "No, I have a question: the Gyms Ash challenged were eight, right? Why did Chairman Rose only call seven Gyms? Why did he forget our Cerulean Gym?"

Chairman Rose: "Is there a possibility that it wasn't forgotten, but just too lazy to call?"

Misty: "..."

Woo woo woo woo, she also wants to cry a little; this is too hurtful!!!!】

(Woke up late, sorry.)】

92: Erika and Sabrina have chased to Indigo Plateau Town!】

【Three days later, Ash walked toward the sacred flame platform holding the sacred flame under the eyes of everyone. The moment he ignited the flame of the sacred flame platform, the entire Indigo Plateau Arena boiled over.】

【After a year, the Indigo Plateau Conference opened again.】

Also at this time, the black-bordered screen gradually dimmed, and the white-bordered screen was lit up.】

Ash: "It's here, it's finally here, so looking forward to it; I don't know what kind of good results I can achieve at the Indigo Plateau Conference."】

Misty: "Uh, really not me pouring cold water, Ash, let's not look forward to it too much."】

Brock: "The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Setting a goal of winning one or two games is enough; it can be considered not a wasted trip."】

Ash: "You guys actually look down on me; just wait, I will definitely enter the top 16!!!"】

It can only be said that Ash still maintained his sanity, only daring to shout for the top 16; any higher, he didn't dare to shout.】

Gary: "Ash, you'd better hope you don't meet me at the Indigo Plateau Conference; otherwise, you'll just have to go home in disgrace."】

Erika: "Have you guys noticed that since the video of the Indigo Plateau Conference is going to be played, Gary has become more and more arrogant."】

Lorelei: "No way, there are really not many opportunities left for Gary to be arrogant. He can't compare to Dark Ash, and he can't compare to the Ash in our world who got the system reward. The only thing he has a chance to compare to now is the Ash on the timeline where the viewing system didn't appear; this is his only chance to be arrogant."】

Bruno: "Then if he didn't even win against that Ash, it would be even more embarrassing."】

Gary: "Impossible, impossible, that situation cannot happen. I am a top 4 seed; Ash entering the top 16 would be thanking heaven and earth."】

Professor Oak: "Sigh, I hope so; I always have a bad premonition."】

Amidst everyone's conversation, the picture began to appear.】

【The first round, the field Ash drew was the Water field, and the opponent was the contestant Duwu from Jingle.】】

Brock: "Duwu from Jingle, this name sounds so familiar."】

Erika: "That must be familiar; wasn't it this guy who frantically mocked Dark Ash in the chat room before? After being slapped in the face by Dark Ash continuously, he doesn't even dare to bubble now."】

Duwu: "Who said I don't dare to bubble? I just have other things to be busy with. That guy named Ash, you are too unlucky to meet me in the first round of the Indigo Plateau Conference; I will let you see what real cruelty is!"】

He, Duwu, can't beat the Dark Ash in the parallel world, but he can easily handle the Ash in their world.】

Cynthia: "The tone of today's young people is bigger than the last."】

Is it really good for them to look down on Ash so much? Don't forget, even without the viewing system, Ash's future is limitless; he is a Trainer who can defeat Raihan in an official match; really don't underestimate him too much.】

【Water field, after carrying the troublesome Team Rocket trio out of the venue, accompanied by two coaches, Ash started the first round of battle.】】

【Before entering the arena, Ash still looked quite nervous, but after walking onto the battle platform, he relaxed all of a sudden, and he even took out Krabby, which he had never used before, to fight Duwu.】】

Duwu: "You guy, you are too arrogant!!!"】

Duwu had also watched Ash's video from beginning to end; of course, he knew the whole situation of Ash's Krabby.】

It was thrown to Professor Oak's laboratory as soon as it was captured and had never been cultivated, yet he took out such a Pokémon in a battle against him; he completely didn't put him, Duwu, in his eyes.】

Heh, those who underestimate me will not have a good end; I will let you know what real cruelty is, Ash from Pallet Town.】

Duwu hated in his heart.】

【At the beginning of the match, Duwu's Exeggutor looked leisurely, firmly grasping the match in its own hands. Seeing Krabby frustrated, Ash originally planned to recall Krabby and change Pokémon, but because of Exeggutor's obstruction, the change was not successful.】】

【In a desperate situation, Krabby had to be forced to counter-kill.】】

【Low-key, forbearance, slaughter—after taking down Exeggutor, the overly excited Krabby directly evolved into Kingler.】】

【To this point, the match directly became one-sided. Duwu's subsequent Kingdra and Golbat were also successfully taken down by Kingler. Ash's first battle in the Indigo Plateau Conference handed over a perfect answer sheet of one against three.】】

Erika: "Pfft, is that guy named Duwu still in the chat room? You are really going to laugh me to death!!!"】

Roxanne: "Is this your strength, Duwu? I was looking forward to this duel so much; it really wasted my melon seeds and drinks."】

Brawly: "The mouth is hard before the match, and the pain is how painful it is when being slapped in the face after the match; I really can't figure it out, you only have this strength, how dare you say harsh words?!"】

There were mocks for Duwu everywhere in the chat room. Even though Duwu's face was thick enough, he couldn't hold it this time. With no other choice, Duwu could only quit the live broadcast room.】

Misty: "I didn't expect Ash's first battle to be so smooth."】

It was so smooth that even Misty felt a bit incredible.】

Ash: "Hmph hmph hmph, now you know how powerful I am; for me, entering the top 16 is easy."】

Ash, who won the first victory, also began to float. He is now even starting to imagine entering the top 8.】

【Rock field, Ice field—the next two duels didn't have too many waves, and Ash also successfully won. In this way, there was only one battle left before the top 16 of the Indigo Plateau Conference.】】

【Before the last battle of the Grass field, Ash went to watch Gary's battle first. Unlike the smoothness of the past, Gary encountered trouble in the fourth round of the duel.】】

【Even though the cheerleaders were desperately cheering for Gary off the field, Gary still didn't reverse the situation in the end and fell in the preliminaries of the Indigo Plateau Conference.】】

Gary: "Fake, right? How is it possible? How could I not even enter the main tournament of the Indigo Plateau Conference."】

Ash: "Gary actually lost, incredible!"】

Ash's shock was no less than Gary's. In Ash's mind, Gary had always been his rival, and a rival who had led him all the way. Such a strong Gary actually fell in the preliminaries of the Indigo Plateau Conference.】

Professor Oak: "Sigh, the premonition came true. Gary, you should also reflect on yourself. Pokémon battle is not child's play; it is not that easy to become an excellent Trainer."】

Gary's journey was too smooth, which made him too complacent. Losing is also good; it can sound the alarm for him.】
