Chapter 49

Ash's opponent in the semi-finals is Bei Zhi from Lavaridge Town.

It is said that he is also a favorite to win the championship.

Just like before, after being defeated along the way, he was swept 2-0 by Pikachu.

This type of tournament is meant to be finished in a single day.

Progress is extremely rapid.

On Koharu's side, she continues to perform steadily and successfully advances.

The battles on both sides are complete stomps, leaving everyone watching stunned.

However, they are also more interested in the upcoming finals.

Whether it is Ash's Pikachu or Koharu's Sceptile.

The onlookers are very expectant of the clash between the two Pokémon.

Quite a few people have also looked up Ash's identity.

The Champion of the Alola League.

Where?

Alola?

Where is that? Is there even a League there?

Oh! So Ash was also a Frontier Brain of the Battle Frontier before!

That makes sense!

Immediately after, it is time for the tense and exciting finals.

Koharu originally wanted to forfeit directly.

But she was stopped by Ash.

"Since you've chosen to have a Pokémon battle, you must fight with all your might. Giving up is absolutely not an option!"

Ash speaks with great passion.

Koharu is also truly fired up.

And the result? Sceptile and Swellow threw the match!

Swellow and Sceptile, in whom everyone placed high hopes, fell at the hands of Ash's Scorbunny.

So much so that after the battle ended.

Scorbunny looks at its own hands, unable to believe it.

Am I that strong?

However, Scorbunny quickly convinces itself: it isn't that it is strong, but that its Master is!

It is only because of its Master's guidance that it could easily defeat those two Pokémon that looked so powerful.

Logic sound! Discharged!

【Bruno: Dying of laughter, the expression on this Pokémon called Scorbunny is so rich.】

【Diantha: Sigh, why are the Pokémon Ash catches all so talented at acting? Ash, why don't you come to Kalos? Join my company directly; you would absolutely be the most successful Pokémon actor trainer.】

【Lillie: Such a cute Pokémon! It's a pity, I can't touch Pokémon, otherwise I'd really want to hug it.】

【Misty: I suggest a strict investigation into this match! A fixed match, this is absolutely a fixed match!】

【Brock: A bet is a bet. Remember to give me your sister's contact information, okay?】

Silver Town.

Ash inexplicably receives an eye-roll from Misty.

As for why?

That is naturally because Misty lost the bet with Brock just now.

Seeing the Sceptile and Swellow that performed so brilliantly.

Misty had wanted to trick Brock out of a lunch!

Who would have thought they would actually act against her!

They must have learned to be bad from Pikachu!

……

In the footage—

Ash also didn't expect Swellow and the others to be so good at putting on a show.

They actually all lost to Scorbunny in unison.

Even Pikachu didn't get a chance to enter the field.

And after Swellow fell to the ground.

In the silence of the entire venue, the referee's announcement broke the atmosphere.

"Congratulations to contestant Ash for winning the championship in the Glass Whistle Cup!"

Just like that, another championship was added to Ash's career resume.

It can't be helped; even a solo tournament championship counts as a championship.

Ash's Glass Whistle Cup championship is definitely a championship.

After all, after winning the championship, Ash also received five shiny glass whistles.

Koharu also reacts at this moment.

How could she, a person who hasn't even had contact with Pokémon, possibly command these two Pokémon that look like they are of such high level?

Dragging the battle out the whole time is one thing.

But in the end, they actually acted against her.

Ash really has done all the bad things!

【Ash: Seeing myself win the championship, there is an indescribable joy.】

【Gary: This is truly hateful! You actually got another championship!】

【Ash: Gary, didn't you say this type of championship doesn't count as a championship? Why do you look like you're so jealous of me?】

【Gary: What nonsense are you spouting! I just simply don't like looking at you!】

【Brock: This mouth is even harder than my Geodude.】
