Chapter 401

It's hard! Goh's fist is hard!

【Professor Kukui: Hahaha, let alone the future Ash. After that battle recap between Ash and me, Ash's fame throughout Alola can be considered known to everyone, man, woman, and child.】

【Lana: That's right. After our classmates found out we would become companions with Ash in the future, they were so jealous that they all demanded the principal transfer them to our class!】

【Ash: That's awesome! In the future, I will also keep moving forward, and I will definitely win the Alola Champion title!】

【Professor Kukui: Ash, we'll be waiting for you. I've already discussed it with the other Island Kahunas; only after you arrive in Alola will our Alola League hold its first assembly. We'll keep this championship title for you.】

【Goh: Haha, Ash, I've finally found a way to deal with you. This Alola Champion title will belong to me.】

【Brother Chi Hong: Has this little brother of yours always been this confident?】

【Qing Lv Yi Jing: Heh, Goh's strength is actually very strong; you'd better be careful that Ash doesn't flip his car when the time comes.】

【Ash: Ab! so! lute! ly! not! I will absolutely not lose to Goh!】

Not now!

And not in the future!

Regarding this point, Ash is incomparably firm.

That Alola inaugural champion title that belongs to him—absolutely no one will be able to snatch it from his hands!

Starting in Alola, ending in Alola!

Ash will strive for everything with his own hands!

And seeing this expression on Ash, Brother Chi Hong nods in gratification.

Only with this kind of spirit can one continuously grow stronger on the journey.

……

In the scene—

"Ash, this guy really makes people jealous."

Kiawe says sourly.

Regarding Ash's popularity in Alola, Kiawe is incredibly envious.

His goal is to become the Island Kahuna of Melemele Island.

But looking at it now, as long as Ash gives the order, everyone at the scene would crowd around to crown Ash as the new Island Kahuna.

Comparing people to people is enough to infuriate one.

"Kiawe, don't tell me you're jealous?" Lana pokes Kiawe with her elbow, her eyes full of mischief.

"I am not! I'm just afraid these people will delay my battle with Ash." Kiawe is still being stubborn.

Come to think of it, ever since Ash left.

Kiawe has always felt like something is missing without Ash around.

The battles lack that little bit of flavor.

Sure enough, besides Pokémon, the only one who can bring him the joy of battle is Ash.

At this moment.

Ash finally gets rid of this group of crazy fans.

The two of them also walk into the battle field at this time.

And as soon as he enters the battle field, Ash discovers another acquaintance.

A red Rotom floating in mid-air.

The Rotom Pokédex is another one of Ash's partners in the Alola region.

It's just that, most of the time, the Rotom Pokédex's role is just to act as a Pokédex.

And after seeing Ash.

The Rotom Pokédex rubs its eyes.

Then it flies quickly to Ash's side.

"Long time no see, Roto."

"Long time no see, Rotom."

However, just as the Rotom Pokédex is preparing to catch up with Ash.

A discordant sound comes from Ash's pocket.

Subsequently, the Rotom Phone floats in front of the Rotom Pokédex.

This wave, this wave is the new model versus the old model!

"Beep-beep, Roto, Rotom Pokédex form, main function is to identify Pokémon ecology and types; other than that, it has no other uses."

Rotom Pokédex:???

Are you being polite!

"You rude guy! Besides having the picture function, I can also play various videos and recordings!"

"Beep-beep, Roto, sorry, for me, this is the most basic function; there is no need to introduce it."

Through Ash's perspective, one can even see the small eyes behind the Rotom Phone squinting.

Clearly, between intentional and accidental.

The Rotom Phone chose to be intentionally accidental!

Seeing that the Rotom Pokédex is already almost red with heat.

Ash hurriedly grabs the Rotom Phone in front of him and stuffs it into his pocket.

"Sorry, Rotom." Ash apologizes to the Rotom Pokédex somewhat awkwardly.

He didn't expect that the always quiet Rotom Phone would have such a big reaction after seeing its own kind!

Could it be that this is what they call like repelling like?

"This has nothing to do with you, Ash; it's all that guy's fault!"

The Rotom Pokédex says nonchalantly.

At this time,

Professor Kukui, who appeared from nowhere, pats the Rotom Pokédex's head and laughs triumphantly.

"Haha, it's a good thing Ash was quick, otherwise you would have let your Rotom Phone see the Rotom Pokédex's new functions."

Saying this, Professor Kukui places a yellow cartridge on the Rotom Pokédex's head.

"This is an item I traded with Chairman Rose, Rotom upgrade data; using it will allow the Rotom Pokédex to possess the ability of a World Coronation Series referee."

Professor Kukui says somewhat proudly.

For this thing, he spent a lot of effort.

As far as it looks now.

The effect isn't bad~

【Rose: A Rotom referee? So that's why the World Coronation Series was able to expand so quickly in the future.】

【Leon: It seems we also need to hurry up with the research; let's let the World Coronation Series enter the public eye even earlier.】

【Rose: Everything for Galar.】

【Professor Magnolia: I really want to see more scenes of the future Galar; what can make Galar prosperous again must be the World Coronation Series.】

【Steven: No need to worry, didn't you all succeed in the future?】

Succeed?

Still far from it!

Dynamax energy is always an unstable factor.

Rose's eyes are dark and unclear.

……

In the scene—

"Wow! So amazing!" *2!

Ash and the Rotom Pokédex light up with star-shaped eyes at the same time.

After this, the Rotom Pokédex takes the item from Professor Kukui's hand.

Following a flash of light.

A few green stripes appear on the red Rotom Pokédex.

"Ta-da, Rotom Pokédex upgraded to Rotom Pokédex Referee!"

"Rotom Pokédex Referee! Then I'll leave my battle with Kiawe to you this time!"

Ash says to the Rotom Pokédex, giving it plenty of face.
