Chapter 257

?

It's not necessary; Bai Ash hasn't caught any legendary Pokémon here, but he's actually good friends with those Pokémon, and it's quite possible he could call them for help.

Just like Mewtwo, you can call them for help, which would make Team Rocket jealous as hell.

However, only by going through the Light Screen did they realize that all information about Mewtwo had been erased.

Seeing the Light Screen and the barrage, Sakaki felt a surge of anger; those legendary Pokémon of Mewtwo were on friendly terms with Ash, and even treated him well.

As for the Black World, there's no need to say more—Black Satoshi has caught several legendary Pokémon, with a Latias constantly by his side, a Marill lurking in the shadows, and he also has Ho-Oh, Lugia, and the Three Sacred Beasts.

And there's a Mewtwo that can be summoned at any time.

Such a lineup could almost rule the world.

Unfortunately he is a Poké Ball Trainer of good lineage, otherwise we could persuade him to join Team Rocket.

Destined to become an enemy!

The Black Light Screen faded, and the White Light Curtain lit up.

Ash and his group finished the revenge battle at the Martial Arts Gym, and in order for Misty to participate in the upcoming Poké Ball Grand Festival, they took a ship to Kaina City.

Again, Team Rocket caused trouble along the way, and Ash and his group arrived at the eerie abandoned ship.

On the ship, Ash and his group met Guanghai, who was investigating the abandoned ship. An accident occurred: first the fire chick disappeared, then Misty and Xiaosheng, the two siblings, after a search, learned that it was the work of a giant swamp monster.

The giant swamp monster living on the ship was left behind by Guanghai; the monster always thought Guanghai had abandoned it and thus hated humans, but later Guanghai cleared up the misunderstanding.

After rescuing the Team Rocket Trio, however, the Trio stuck to their catchphrase; as villains, ingratitude is normal, and they wanted to snatch that giant swamp monster.

Musashi's sent-out rice spoon snake was instantly defeated by the giant swamp monster with one punch.

The Team Rocket Trio were finally not blasted off by Pikachu; this time they were blasted off by the giant swamp monster's Water Cannon.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, Ash and his group arrived in Cinnabar City, where the Poké Ball Grand Festival was about to be held.

To participate in the Poké Ball Grand Festival, Misty brought her hunting butterfly to the beach for special training, where she met the Poké Ball Coordinator Xiaoshun.

After seeing Misty's training, Xiaoshun felt contempt. Misty was angered, and a competitive spirit sparked between them.

【Xiaosheng: This Xiaoshun is very like Xiaomao, arrogant, looks down on others... loves to belittle!

He attacks Pokémon and appearance right from the start, really rude.】

Seeing Xiaosheng's comment, Ash was stunned, thinking indeed, feeling that Xiaoshun is like early Xiaomao, that guy is arrogant and thinks highly of himself, always likes to belittle others.

But it seems to be only aimed at myself.....

Thinking of this, Ash felt helpless.

【Xiaomao: Who made Ash useless before? He always loses to me, mocking him is normal, anyway Ash is used to it!

?

When did I get used to it?

Ash said, "I don't know how?"

Not used to it at all...... Brock knows about the rivalry between Ash and Xiaomao; the last time Ash saw Xiaomao's taunting words left on a road sign, he got so angry he was fuming.

Later, their relationship improved, from initially being opposites to becoming close friends; both have experienced many things.

The main point is that Xiaomao is very tsundere, verbally disparaging Ash but deep down still somewhat acknowledges him.

White Light Curtain——

To compete in the Poké Ball Grand Festival and to prove themselves, Misty and Ash conducted mock training.

The hunting butterfly wrapped Ash's pride swallow in silk thread; due to inexperience with Silver Wind, it ended up being defeated by Ash's pride swallow.

Bixi came over and told Misty that eating a certain fruit could give competing Poké Balls a more favorable condition.

Afterwards, Bixi led Ash and his group on a tour of his warehouse, but the blueberries prepared for making fireworks were all stolen and eaten by Misty's fire chick.

To make up for Bixi, Ash and his group needed to find blueberries, and along the way they also encountered Xiaoshun.

He had already taken the blueberries, indicating that to get them one must battle him in a Poké Ball battle.

Misty sent out her hunting butterfly, while Xiaoshun sent out his poison rose.

However, they hadn't battled long when the Team Rocket Trio came running over to cause trouble, interrupting their battle.

After blasting off the Team Rocket Trio, Xiaoshun said they should continue the battle next time.

New trainers always encounter corresponding rivals; Misty and Ash are similar, and the Xiaoshun they met is of the same type as Xiaomao, initially very sharp-tongued.

It is likely later, just like with Xiaomao, his attitude toward Misty changed, they shook hands and made peace, and then they met in the Poké Ball Grand Festival.

Misty defeated him, and then Xiaoshun felt that Misty had grown quickly, surpassing him.

Seeing the analysis on the comment stream, Ash and Xiaomao felt very familiar.

This plot... although the Pokémon battle match was changed to the Poké Ball Grand Festival, Misty and Xiaoshun are also opposites, feeling like a copy of the two of them.

Seeing Xiaoshun mocking her in the Light Screen, Misty felt somewhat helpless.

Xiaoshun always gives the impression of being aloof, looking down on others, and always speaking coldly to oneself.

Sometimes he does acknowledge his own strength, but just doesn't say it out loud; each time he stimulates himself, always thinking he is not as good as him.

However, precisely because of his pressure, I also achieved good results in the Poké Ball Grand Festival.

Also, the feeling is just not being able to match Ash.

Misty's most memorable Grand Festival is the one she participated in together with Ash.

Although Ash had never participated in the Poké Ball Grand Festival before, the first round's theme was charm performance; Ash sent out Pikachu, which was actually on par with her Poké Ball, and in the second round, Charizard battled Fire Chicken, ending in a tie.

Taking out the split ribbon, Misty's eyes filled with nostalgia.

"It's still better to travel with Ash!"
