Chapter 181

In the blink of an eye, it was already the 5th day,

Over these 5 days, Ash and Serperior have been practicing new moves; besides learning Overheat, they also learned many non-exclusive moves,

Preparing a Surprise for Serperior trainers worldwide,

During this period,

Because Ash's Serperior performed astonishingly,

One moment hail, the next flames, leaving everyone bewildered,

Ming yi and Tierno, who also have Serperior, naturally set their sights on Ash,

Ash then used his gaze to help strengthen the traits of Ming yi and Tierno's Serperior,

However, due to the strength gap, only Ming yi's Serperior reached Counter Shift 3,

Tierno's Serperior is stuck at Counter Shift 1, struggling to defeat 8-star Gym-level opponents,

Moreover, Groudon and Kyogre, Ash has been training these two goofballs with Mewtwo's help these past few days,

Estimated in a few more days,

After they've endured the hardship, give them a sweet date,

For example, enhance the traits of Origin Sea and End of the Land, counter-lock the weather of Super Rayquaza, letting Caterpie rake in gold coins,

Also, help Groudon learn Wing Return, experiencing a feeling of flight like never before,

And add a threat,

「Kyogre-san, Groudon has already complied; you wouldn't want the End of the Land 3 to lock the weather and have Groudon bully you by riding on your head, would you? 」

Conversely, it can also work the other way,

Use the two Pokémon to mutually restrain each other,

Ash has come up with several strategies against them,

Believe that in time, Groudon and Kyogre will eventually face reality,

……

In the afternoon,

The sun slants, the arena roars with voices, the anticipation of a hundred thousand spectators gathering into a mighty force like mountains shouting and seas roaring,

As the first round's performance completely ends,

Serena and Xiao Yao tie for first and second place, topping with 50 points!

Xiao Guang third, 49 points,

The other girls' results vary, but at least they all passed the preliminaries,

Today will be the second round of the competition, using splendid skills and battles to determine the ultimate winner,

In this segment,

This will be the stage where gaps are most easily opened,

First and foremost is the match outcome: each judge awards the winner at least 5 points, the loser 0,

The remaining 5 points depend on skill combination and splendor in battle,

This is to completely eliminate trainers who lack any performance from mistakenly entering the Coordinator competition and stealing the championship via a rogue's script,

It gives other players the chance to overturn rankings with performance points,

But compared to the format,

Today, more importantly, it's undoubtedly Ash vs. Dan Emperor!

In many people's eyes, the Poké Cup five-time Champion vs. the World Championships, the Eight Masters elimination tournament runner-up, the Evergreen Tree!

If it weren't for Ash's performance directing Yveltal the past few days,

Undoubtedly, 99% of people would favor Dan Emperor more,

After all, Dan Emperor is not merely Champion-level,

but also an outstanding among Champions, each year the most promising contender to challenge Cynthia's reign,

Such an existence,

Winning a Poké Cup five-peat is still not a sure thing,

But after the legendary beast war, everything changed,

In people's eyes, Ash is no longer the Poké Cup Champion,

The Legendary Duke truly became a legend, suspected to be a legendary beast trainer, and even suspected to have subdued the sea god and earth god,

Consequently, more people actually favor Ash,

Many hope Ash will bring out Kyogre to give Charizard a little knife to poke its butt and open its eyes,

Indeed, it's highlighted by those who love a spectacle and don't mind big trouble,

Completely unafraid that the blade is too big, they'd give Charizard a direct chop in half,

When the audience noticed that Ash's figure was indeed missing from the judges' seats, they instantly cheered even more excitedly,

The momentum is even more victorious than the first day!

Releasing Flying-type Pokémon to soar over the arena fence, the number of spectator trainers eagerly watching also surged,

A dark, pressing circle almost completely envelops the entire battle arena above,

Countless people came by reputation, their numbers so great that even Junsha's catching speed can't keep up with the refresh rate,

This shows the exaggerated influence of this match,

In the stands, Luozi watched this scene far crazier than he imagined, frowning yet his lips involuntarily curled up,

This is even better!

He had already made ample preparations in advance, letting Dan Emperor and Galar stand in an invincible position,

In a situation with no clear winner, the Dan Emperor who possesses Super Extreme Gigantification will inevitably absorb all traffic for Galar.

Before the upcoming World Championships' Eight Masters elimination tournament is held,

Over the next few months, the two terms 'Galar Region' and 'Super Extreme Gigantification' will continuously appear in media reports worldwide,

Occupying the sight and minds of tens of billions of people, it spreads by word of mouth.

Just thinking of that scene, Loz, who regards the entire region as a lover, feels immensely excited and thrilled.

……

With the host's invitation for Ash to appear echoing throughout the venue,

The crowd was noisy, the venue watched by myriad eyes, and for a moment it fell silent as Ash appeared.

Everyone held their breath and focused, quietly watching the broadcast screen.

Ash, with black hair, walked onto the stage, wearing a baseball cap and a blue-white jacket.

His black hair shone in the sunlight.

Under the baseball cap, his gaze was firm and composed.

Each of his steps was filled with strength and confidence, as if he could calmly face any challenge.

His jacket fluttered lightly in the breeze, like a blue ocean, standing out uniquely in the crowd.

He is Ash, a five-time champion! He is the legendary duke of Kalos! And he is the focus of countless fans!

At this moment, the venue erupted again with a shout like mountains and seas, its volume enough to pierce the clouds.

Standing on the stage,

Facing the fervent hundred-thousand audience, facing the sound wave like mountains and seas.

Ash felt no fear, no retreat, only smiling and enjoying this moment's glory.

Following closely, Dan Emperor appeared as well,

He also wore a baseball cap, and his cape bore numerous sponsorship symbols symbolizing his strength.

Yet the cheering sound wave was much weaker.

It is evident that in the audience's Mind, even a top champion falls short compared to Ash at this moment!

Dan Emperor, however, didn't mind too much, obviously having prepared beforehand.

"I've waited too long for this day!"

Ash smiled and said, "Believe this battle will give you, and the whole world, a Surprise!"

As the words fell, Dan Emperor's Poké Ball opened, Charizard roared, spreading its wings and soaring, roaring as it dominated the arena.

In response,

Upon appearing, Serperior remained calm and aloof, standing motionless in place, nobility revealing composure,

Its raised head brimmed with the arrogance of looking down on all, its red pupils tinged with slight contempt.

"Serperior?"

"What?!"

"A Grass-type Fire Flying Charizard?"

Almost the entire audience was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat incredulous.

Professor Redwood of Unova: "How could Serperior be Grass-type? How can Serperior fight Charizard!"

Dan Emperor's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise, not expecting Ash to actually send out a Grass-type Pokémon.

However,

Having undergone Ash's Bulbasaur baptism, Dan Emperor was much calmer, after all, there is at least some basis for opposing Serperior.

"Let's heat up the venue, Charizard!"

Dan Emperor swept his cape, pressing his palm forward with force,

"Roar~"

In flight, Charizard let out a roar, immediately spewing a scorching flame pillar from its mouth, emitting tremendous heat as it dove toward Serperior.

Almost at the same time Dan Emperor gave his command, Ash simultaneously issued his order,

"Announce your dominion to the world, Overheat!"

His right hand clenched into a fist, held diagonally before his chest, then swung downward, creating a sonic boom.

This undoubtedly left countless spectators astonished.

But even more shocking is undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention on the field: Serperior!

As Serperior opened its mouth, it gathered a scorching, dazzling fireball emitting tremendous heat and wisps of white vapor, a giant sphere about one meter in diameter.

Six red flashes streaked across its body, boosting its Special Attack to +6!

The fireball's size instantly swelled to 5 meters,

like a miniature sun,

In an instant, a heat wave swept across the entire venue, and the protective barriers on the sidelines were instantly activated.

During this process, Serperior, using its frost-covered tail like a soccer kick, launched the fireball outward,

transforming into a stellar projectile that shot straight at the airborne Charizard!

Overheat visibly crushed the endless flames spewing from Charizard's mouth, finally exploding with a bang in front of Charizard,

turning into a blazing sea of fire, the scorching sun burning the sky, completely engulfing Charizard.

Having fully witnessed this scene,

the entire venue fell silent in an instant!

At this moment, trainers with and without Serperior all fell silent……
