Chapter 102

"And today, we will welcome the most exciting match in Alola's history."

"The contestants for this battle are the champion of the Manalo Stadium—the Masked Royal, who is also the professor we Alolans respect the most—Professor Kukui!"

"The other contestant is Ash; first, let us once again congratulate contestant Ash for winning the Alola League Championship."

And today, contestant Ash will write a new legend.

"Today, there are many viewers who have traveled from all over the world; perhaps you haven't heard Ash's name."

But I want to grandly introduce him to you here,

This boy standing in front of you, he is the Top 16 of the Indigo Conference, Top 8 of the Silver Conference, Top 8 of the Ever Grande Conference, Top 4 of the Lily of the Valley Conference, Top 8 of the Vertress Conference! Runner-up of the Lumiose Conference!

Champion of the Manalo Conference! Champion of the first Alola League Conference!

He is contestant Ash from Pallet Town!

The host's passionate words introduced all the contestants for the battle.

Only after the host's words.

Those watching the barrage were even more certain that they were truly safe.

【Gary: Sorry, Ash; just now I felt guilty for choosing Professor Kukui, but now I won't. I didn't expect you to have finally won a championship after seven leagues.】

【Flint: Breathed a sigh of relief; just now when I heard that long list of titles, I was completely stunned. Fortunately, fortunately!】

【Serena: Ash, don't listen to them; I will always support you!】

In the original world, Ash only participated in the first Indigo Conference.

These people didn't know the opponents Ash encountered in the subsequent leagues.

Nor did they know that Ash caught new Pokémon to battle in every region.

It was normal to have such thoughts.

Ash didn't refute it either.

Losing is losing; there's nothing to say.

However, he was actually quite bothered by the fact that it took him so many conferences to win a championship.

Losing six consecutive conferences.

Even Ash couldn't handle that.

"Pikachu, we have to work twice as hard from now on!"

"Pika~"

Pikachu also nodded in agreement; after hearing that long list of titles.

It also felt a bit numb.

If they kept losing like this, wouldn't they become beggars on their knees!

How could it, the Pika-God, suffer such humiliation!

Alola, Melemele Island.

"Bang."

Professor Burnet pushed open the door forcefully.

She really couldn't imagine that the Masked Royal she had always admired was actually her husband.

How could anyone imagine this!

It was like opening a blind box, and the first one was the grand prize!

Only.

After Professor Kukui saw the admiring, worshipful, and shy look in Professor Burnet's eyes.

He shouted that he was in trouble!

He was afraid his waist wouldn't be able to handle it today!

……

In the scene—

As the host finished reading.

Professor Kukui and Ash stepped onto the battle stage at the same time.

After both sides were ready at the preparation area.

Professor Kukui took out his Poké Ball, while on Ash's side.

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu landed on all fours, already prepared to enter the field.

The eternal opening Pikachu!

This was already a traditional skill.

Even Pikachu itself didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

However,

"Sorry, Pikachu, you have to wait a little while."

"Pika? Pika?"

Ash's sentence completely confused Pikachu.

It stood up in disbelief and looked back at Ash.

It looked exactly like an abandoned puppy.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Pikachu fell backward.

Ah~ that running in the sunset, that was my lost youth.

Do I not even deserve to be the starter now?

At this moment.

Ash took a Poké Ball from his waist.

"I choose you, Torracat!"

"Go, Incineroar!"

"Meow!"

"Roar!"

The moment the two Pokémon appeared, almost everyone's gaze was locked onto them.

Compared to Ash's Torracat.

Incineroar obviously received more attention from everyone.

Black and red color scheme, upright figure!

Knotted muscles!

Everything was showcasing its power!

Incineroar! Also known as the world's number one Incineroar!

It is the most comprehensive Pokémon in history! Can take hits, can attack, can support!

All-around, couldn't be more all-around!

Looking at Ash's Torracat.

This was clearly just a slightly larger, cute kitten!

Compared to the muscular brother standing opposite it! The gap was visible to the naked eye!

Just as Professor Oak said, Ash's team was indeed a team of babies.

Torracat hadn't evolved into its final form at all!

"Ash, it seems you also want Torracat to settle the previous grudge."

"Of course! Torracat, let's go first, use Flame Charge!"

Under Ash's command, Torracat was covered in a layer of flames.

Then Torracat's body, like an arrow off a bowstring, charged straight toward the Incineroar opposite it.

Flame Charge is a move that can increase speed by accumulating flames.

And it just happened to be able to restrain Incineroar, which had become less agile after evolving, to a certain extent.

It wasn't like it hadn't happened before that a second-stage Pokémon defeated a third-stage Pokémon.

Every stage of Pokémon has its own advantages at that stage.

Ash knew Incineroar's weaknesses and his Torracat's advantages very well!

Seeing Ash's command, Professor Kukui also showed an appreciative expression toward Ash.
