Chapter 193

"I only beat you once back at the Bai Yin Assembly, that's all!"

"Is there any need to hold a grudge until now?"

Seeing that his ranking was a Poké Ball, that childish Idiot Xiao Mao actually dared to mock him.

But just as Ash was taking a sip of water,

the Rotom Phone in his pocket rang again.

Ash took out his phone and looked.

It turned out the system had matched him with an evenly matched opponent.

"Shibai from Fuchsia City, ranked 1024th."

Seeing the opponent he had finally been matched with,

Ash didn't hesitate in the slightest and immediately got up and rushed out of the laboratory.

The hurried Ash could be said to have been sprinting the whole way.

All this to reach the designated battle location within the allotted time.

Ash's reckless figure was just spotted by Facing Xiao Chun as she walked through the door.

Just like that.

He fled, she chased.

They arrived at the designated battle arena.

The Rotom referee was already prepared.

Ash's opponent, Shibai from Fuchsia City, had also been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the arrival,

the Rotom referee immediately announced the rules for this battle.

1v1, the battle ends when one side's Pokémon faints.

This time, Ash sent out his newly evolved Raboot.

And the opponent sent out a Tauros.

Seeing the Tauros, Ash's eyes lit up.

You have to know that in Professor Oak's backyard, he raised a full 30 Tauros!

He had the most experience dealing with this kind of Pokémon!

Only, this battle seemed to have gone a bit wrong.

After Shibai's Tauros saw Raboot, the whole bull's state became a bit off.

Its eyes turned red, and smoke puffed from its nostrils.

One look and it was clear it had entered a rage state.

Ash thought about it; perhaps it was because the red on Raboot was too obvious.

He remembered one time when he wore red pajamas to Professor Oak's backyard,

he was almost gored into the sky by thirty Tauros and couldn't get down.

However!

Didn't this guy named Shibai also wear a set of red clothes!

The battle had already begun.

The opponent didn't give Ash any time to think and immediately ordered the Tauros to start attacking.

Fortunately, Raboot relied on its agility to successfully dodge the opponent's attacks multiple times!

During this period, for some trainers who weren't very strong, Ash let Dragonite and Raboot take the field.

Raboot also had decent battle experience.

Facing a guy like Tauros who only knew how to charge blindly,

it was tortured by Raboot's continuous attacks until it had no ability to resist.

Finally, Raboot kicked the Tauros's head—which had just used Iron Head—with a Flame Charge.

And kicked the opponent over to the ground, which ended the battle.

Seeing this, Shibai was stunned.

Are all the brats nowadays this strong!

He had spent a long time to reach such a high rank!

He had hoped to have a chance to push for Great Ball tier, who knew he would lose so cleanly and neatly.

But losing is losing,

Shibai was still a good sport; he recalled his Pokémon and took the initiative to shake hands with Ash before leaving.

And Ash was preparing to praise Raboot.

However.

Just as Ash walked in front of Raboot,

Raboot fell to the ground with a pained expression.

"Pika!"

"Are you okay!"

Ash and Pikachu rushed over to check the situation.

After getting closer, they discovered that Raboot's leg bone was broken.

"Rabbit~"

Master, I'm fine.

Raboot still wanted to struggle, but was directly hugged tightly by Ash.

He walked toward the nearest Pokémon Center.

And the Pokémon Center Ash was heading to

was exactly the one from the beginning that was incubating the Riolu.

At this moment.

Pokémon Center.

The instrument incubating the Riolu was constantly pulsing.

Even the light flickering on the Riolu's egg became more intense.

It seemed... to be calling out for something.

At the same time.

Ash, who was heading toward the Pokémon Center, suddenly stopped his steps.

"Pika?"

Seeing Ash's sudden movement, Pikachu asked with concern.

"I think I heard someone calling me."

Just a moment ago.

Ash felt a familiar Aura calling out to him.

Hearing this,

Facing Xiao Chun, who had rushed over, and Pikachu on Ash's shoulder were both dumbfounded.

They looked around,

but didn't see anyone's figure.

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu was angry! Was it another Ghost-type Pokémon playing tricks!

Facing Xiao Chun also thought of this possibility.

She grabbed Ash's arm.

"Don't scare me! I'm most afraid of ghosts!"

"No, it's not a ghost, nor is it a Ghost-type Pokémon."

Ash said very firmly.

Because...

It moved!

Ash's Aura moved!
