Chapter 54

However, whether it was the Ash inside the light screen or the Ash sending the comment, he actually said that he abandoned this Chimchar.

How is this possible?

Even if this Chimchar didn't reach his standards, Paul would still respect its wishes and release it.

If he really would abandon this Chimchar.

Then what would be the reason?

Not wanting to leave him, and not wanting to train?

Hmph! Ash, you just wait for me, when you get to Sinnoh, you definitely won't have a good time.

Paul has already equated Ash with a rival in his heart.

……

In the footage—

According to Professor Cerise's investigation, this Piplup comes from Snowpoint City in Sinnoh.

The first stop in Sinnoh is naturally to send Piplup back first.

It just so happens that when the two arrived in Snowpoint City.

Snowpoint City happens to be holding a Water-type racing competition.

Seeing a competition, Ash's competitive soul burns fiercely.

In Koharu's unbelievable gaze.

Ash sent Piplup back at the fastest speed. As for the matter of this Piplup not getting along with its owner.

That is not within his jurisdiction after all.

And he signed up for the competition at light speed.

After doing all this, Ash wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"I participated in a water racing competition once before, I was so excited for a long time back then. This type of competition is very hard to come by."

Ash babbled on.

While on Koharu's face is a polite but not awkward smile.

The water racing competition you participated in before, wouldn't it be with Dawn?

At this moment, Ash is already thinking about how to win the championship in this competition.

Since it is a water racing competition, it is naturally to use Water-type Pokémon.

Among his Water-type Pokémon, the fastest is Totodile.

Don't look at Totodile as just a first-form Pokémon.

But its speed is really not just for show.

With Totodile's strength, it can definitely win the championship this time!

After the competition officially started, Totodile took the lead and rushed to the very front.

However, during the competition.

Team Rocket, who found out the news from somewhere, popped up again.

Due to Team Rocket's interference.

The entire competition became chaotic.

In order to ensure that the championship trophy he was about to get wouldn't slip through his fingers.

Ash chose the safest plan.

That is to let Totodile continue the race, while Pikachu sends Team Rocket home.

"Pikachu! Thunderbolt!"

"Pika～chu!"

The golden electric light cut through the sky.

Immediately followed by the flying figures and that familiar "We're blasting off again!"
