Makes sense! Ash, after you've been to Alola, remember to go to Paldea too!

Translation: "Makes sense! Ash, after you've been to Alola, remember to go to Paldea too!"

Check: "Makes sense!" = "Makes sense!" or "That makes sense!" We'll use "Makes sense!" Keep exclamation.

"Ash" -> Ash

"after you've been to Alola" = "after you've been to Alola". Could be "after you've visited Alola". We'll use "after you've been to Alola".

"remember to go to Paldea too!" = "remember to also go to Paldea!" We'll translate as "remember to go to Paldea too!"

Thus: "Makes sense! Ash, after you've been to Alola, remember to go to Paldea too!"

Nimo, through Mewtwo's psychic barrier, waved and sent an invitation to Ash.

Translation: "Nimo, through Mewtwo's psychic barrier, waved and sent an invitation to Ash."

Check: "Nimo" is a name? Not in glossary; we keep as Nimo? It's likely a name, but not given; we should keep as Nimo (pinyin). Since it's a person's name, we romanize. Use Nimo.

through Mewtwo's psychic barrier

then waved and sent an invitation to Ash

Thus: "Nimo, through Mewtwo's psychic barrier, waved and sent an invitation to Ash."

Ash, sweating, waved his hand embarrassedly, indicating for Mewtwo to first remove the barrier.

Translation: "Ash, sweating embarrassedly, waved his hand, indicating for Mewtwo to first remove the barrier."

"Ash, sweating embarrassedly, waved his hand" = "sweating embarrassedly, waved his hand". We'll translate as "Ash, sweating embarrassedly, waved his hand". Could be "Ash, sweating, waved his hand embarrassedly". We'll keep simple.

"indicating for Mewtwo to first remove the barrier." = "indicating for Mewtwo to first remove the barrier". We'll translate as "indicating for Mewtwo to first remove the barrier."

Thus: "Ash, sweating embarrassedly, waved his hand, indicating for Mewtwo to first remove the barrier."

Translation: "During this time, constrained by the enthusiasm of the two teammates beside him toward Ash, and with Emolga's icy exterior but warm interior personality, she was very friendly toward those she approved,"

But we need to keep the meaning: "Ailan" is a name? Not in glossary; it's likely a person's name, we keep as Emolga? Actually "Ailan" could be a name; we should romanize as "Ailan"? But it's likely a name; we keep as "Ailan"? However glossary didn't provide. We'll keep as "Ailan". But we need to decide: The name appears later: "Ailan and Gragio just changed expression". So it's a name. We'll keep as "Ailan". Use pinyin? The rule: person's name -> pinyin. So we keep as "Ailan". Similarly "Gragio" is a name; we keep as "Gragio"? Actually "Gragio" maybe "Gragio"? We'll keep as "Gragio". But we need to be consistent: we should not translate names. So we keep them as pinyin: Ailan, Gragio.

Thus line 7: "During this time, constrained by the enthusiasm of the two teammates beside him toward Ash, and with Ailan's icy exterior but warm interior personality, she was very friendly toward those she approved,"

But we need to keep the trailing comma as part of line? We'll just translate the Chinese; we can keep the comma at end.

"Thanks to Ash's intervention, Latias healed the attribute space,"

Translation: "Thanks to Ash's intervention, Latias healed the attribute space,"

But "attribute space" maybe "attribute space"? Could be "attribute space". We'll keep literal: "attribute space". So: "Thanks to Ash's intervention, Latias healed the attribute space,"

Gragio showed no trace of the aloofness of a young master from the Johto era, being exceptionally enthusiastic and even voluntarily speaking up to explain,

At your age, you're a Champion?

When everyone thought that, they noticed Ash's calm, waveless expression.

Alright, I almost forgot there's an even more absurd cheat here.

Thinking that way, everyone could actually accept it.

At the same time, Ailan's heart's desire for battle grew stronger and stronger.

Being a Champion is great! Paired with one's own Super Charizard x and the mysterious Pokémon Garchomp.

As long as Ash doesn't use Mewtwo and Latias,

then even that Charizard from last time, Ash has confidence to defeat it!

But what Ailan didn't expect was,

When the two sides faced off on the wide beach, Ash did not send out the Charizard that had previously swept the battlefield.

but instead sent out a Pikachu that looked somewhat harmless.

Looking at that cute, silly yellow electric mouse standing on the beach, raising its hind leg to scratch an itch.

Ailan's mouth twitched.

What sense of achievement could defeating this thing bring?

Compared to Ailan's complicated feelings, Pikachu's thoughts are simple.

"Pika pika!" After holding back for so long, it's finally a worthy opponent, worth Ash sending him out.

At the same time,

As Ash's teammates Xiaoguang and Tierno naturally did not stand by idly.

"That's it, you're the one, Pikachu!"

Pika pika~

Come on, Charizard!

Roar~

Charizard appeared domineeringly, roaring as it glanced at its teammates: a yellow electric mouse, a blue round penguin, two little ones shorter than her knee.

Then looking at the opposing side,

A mighty, domineering Charizard, a Goodra with a confident gaze that looks down on the world, and a mysterious creature that looks like nothing.

Well…

Looks like this match will have to rely on her to turn the tide.

What nonsense!

Those three opponents look tough at a glance, while our side is all cute and sweet.

This damn thing, huh~
