Chapter 1445 Old Friends Gather
It was afternoon.
Gongmen City became quieter.
Life in the Pokémon world moves at a slow pace. Even if fans travel from afar to see their idols, they will take a proper rest around noon.
Including Miss Joey, who is very busy every day.
In Kashiwagi's room, Nemo, Pipa, and Botan were listening to Lucia explain the Grand Contest. The three boys from "remote areas" were getting dizzy listening to her.
"Can we fight?"
"There used to be a flashy battle mode, but it has been removed in the revamp."
Rukia's answer greatly disappointed Nemo.
No offense intended to the Grand Contest, but she does indeed prefer battles and has little interest in performances.
Pipa was in high spirits, not for the stage performance, but for the pre-match maintenance of the Pokémon.
Like Brock, he is dedicated to becoming a Pokémon breeder.
Therefore, when Lucia mentioned that Coordinators actually pay more attention to the Pokémon's physical health than ordinary Trainers, he listened very attentively.
Secondly, there is the peony.
Despite her irregular sleep schedule and seemingly reclusive lifestyle, she is actually quite interested in the appearance of Pokémon.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to breed so many different kinds of Eevee.
Anxin'er and Lucky Egg are in the bathroom, urging Washzorua, who is wearing a Pokémon swim ring, to exercise.
Due to overeating, it began to feel unwell in the early hours of yesterday morning, which took a long time to subside and almost cost it half its life.
As punishment for its behavior and to help it digest its food, Washi Zorroya had been soaking in the bathtub for three hours.
This guy can swim, but he found it tiring to keep splashing around and strongly requested the help of a swim ring. Thanks to An Xin'er and Xingfu Dan's soft hearts, his request was granted.
If it were made of cypress wood, let alone a swimming ring, not even adding any weight blocks would be considered kind of him.
Soroya was well aware of someone's cruelty, so it swam around diligently, not caring that its neck fur and big tail were getting wet.
"Waaah..."
"Keep going! Twenty laps to go!"
"..."
Soroya thought to herself that she might as well not wash anymore.
Meanwhile, the humanoid demon Kashiwagi was sitting on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, listening to Rukia's sermon while reading a book, and occasionally touching the head of the three-headed dragon.
Ever since Bosscodora reached level 98, Husky Dragon has become much more well-behaved.
It wasn't that they were beaten into submission.
There's no other way.
But it couldn't blame the trainer for pushing it too hard, since it was its own fault for not getting the ace position.
How can you blame the cypress tree for not giving it level rewards?
As for not being able to play in the match against Dante, it is actually more concerned about the right to play in the final.
It is obvious that—
The three-headed dragon wanted to take on six at once!
It doesn't seem to be targeting anyone in particular; it just wants to say that everyone here is trash!
There's no need to play one-on-one; one-on-one against all opponents is the way to go!
So now the three-headed dragon wants to ask Kashiwagi for permission to have a chance to dominate everything.
The cypress wood remains undecided.
He already has a plan for the finals; it's just a matter of how Ash decides to proceed.
It's about continuing to send out current partners, and also about gathering old friends...
"No need, Professor Oak!"
In the hotel lobby, Ash shook his head at Professor Oak on the video call and laughed, "This is my best lineup now!"
Because the Rockets trio didn't get involved, the trivial matters that had taken up his entire day were easily resolved.
The thieving foxes successfully evolved into Great Fox Thieves, recruiting several mischievous Galar Zigzagoons and a group of Galar Meowths led by a Viking-style Meowth leader, forming the Pokémon Town Self-Governing Team.
congratulations.
After the minor incident, he returned to Rondorose for a nap and received a call from Professor Oak, asking if he wanted to switch Pokémon for battle.
Charizard and Infernape are ready to fight for Ash at any time!
Kashiwagi's 6-0 victory over Dante was too outrageous, and even the well-informed Professor Oak couldn't help but worry about him.
Xiao Zhi himself has a very good mindset.
He was no longer a rookie trainer. Although his physique hadn't changed much, the memories of the past were still vivid in his mind.
No matter how terrifying the power Kashiwagi displays, all he has to do is bring out the full strength of his teammates and try his best to achieve the final victory!
"Since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more." Professor Oak smiled, seeing Ash's calm and determined face. "Good luck, Ash! We'll be cheering you on!"
"Ash! Go for it!"
Hanako and Ken appeared on the other side.
Despite her deep worry, she didn't show it; instead, she encouraged her child.
Ash nodded emphatically, "Leave it to me! We absolutely have to win!"
"Pickup!"
"Bogarman~!"
"Eevee~!"
Pikachu's call is crisp and melodious, but it seems to be mixed with two noises.
They immediately looked in astonishment toward the source of the sound and saw an Eevee and a Piplup appear beside them at some point.
A familiar voice came from right behind him, "Ash! I'm here to cheer you on!"
The visitors were none other than the cheerful Xiao Guang and her new friend Xiao Chun.
Ash was both surprised and delighted, "What brings you all here?"
"Of course, it carries the blessings of everyone at the research institute," Xiaochun said with a smile.
She is the daughter of Dr. Sakuragi, the director of the Sakuragi Research Institute, and also the female lead in the travel version... or so?
Although her role wasn't particularly prominent, that was indeed her intended purpose.
Xiao Guang said, "Watching the game on TV all the time was just too unbearable, so I came over, hehe~"
She playfully stuck out her tongue and tapped her head lightly.
"That's just like you!" Little Zhi laughed heartily.
He was delighted by his friend's visit, and he was equally happy when Alice returned shortly afterward.
But soon, he became somewhat agitated and at a loss.
Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, Xiaoyao, Xiaosheng, and Serena all arrived in the hotel lobby and stood in front of him!
"Everyone! Why is everyone here?!"
Ash looked around and realized that only Cilan, Clemont, and Bonnie were missing from his travel companions; most of the others had come to the Palace Stadium!
Xiaoxia put her hands on her hips confidently and said, "Of course I'll come if someone invites me."
"Yes, the final tickets have been mailed to the dojo." Xiaogang nodded.
Xiao Sheng and Xiao Yao said in unison, "Me too!"
Serena's eyes were filled with Ash's image, and she replied, "Me too, that's why I came all the way here."
Xiao Zhi was confused: "Who is it...?"
"It's me."
A sudden sound rang out.
A tall cypress tree appeared among a group of teenagers, smiling as it said, "This is a once-in-a-century event; how could we not invite everyone here?"
"Kashiwagi!"
"Brother Kashiwagi!"
The crowd gasped in surprise.
Kashiwagi opened his arms wide and said loudly, "Everyone! It's been a long time!"
Without a doubt, he deliberately gave the audience tickets to every acquaintance he knew who could attend the event.
Xiaoxia and others were naturally among them.
He's given them everything he could; whether they come or not is entirely up to them.
What Kashiwagi didn't know was that Haruka and Serena were originally going to participate in the Grand Contest and didn't have time to come to the competition venue, so they could only watch the competition on TV.
However, due to this additional factor, the Grand Contest was postponed.
Or perhaps, most competitions around the world were postponed, just to avoid the clash of the eight masters final.
Kashiwagi, a top performer in multiple fields, has attracted a lot of attention due to the high level of popularity generated by Minoru Yama's constant promotion, leading to a situation where some small competitions, which were not credulous, were almost deserted.
With nothing else to do, Haruka and Serena naturally chose to accept the tickets to the finals and traveled a long way to Miyamon City to watch this important final.
Ash was overjoyed to have figured everything out. "Great! Everyone's here!"
Yes, everyone is here.
Kashiwagi nodded in agreement.
This match is very important to him and to Ash, and they should invite their old friends to witness it together.
"I won't hold back tomorrow."
"I can't ask for it!"
The two did not look at each other, but simply touched fists together lightly.
Make a vow.
-
evening.
The courtyard once again became a gathering place.
Because Bai Mu invited many friends and acquaintances, the gathering was exceptionally lively.
Nemo was overjoyed. All of them were clearly powerful and renowned trainers, and she wanted to challenge them all.
Lucia and Serena were overjoyed to see each other again.
The two had participated in the Grand Contest together in Water Lily City, and in the end, they were evenly matched and both became the winners of that contest.
The two sides thus forged a sincere friendship.
Of course, Rukia also has a very good relationship with Haruka and Hikari.
Putting aside the fact that they had competed on the same stage, they encountered each other several times after Kashiwagi stopped participating in the Grand Contest.
In just two short years, all three won the grand celebrations in different regions, becoming top Coordinators and taking a big step toward their dreams.
Four skilled players surrounded Xiaochun, a newbie to the Grand Tournament, forcing her into a corner like a weak, pitiful, and helpless Eevee.
Max catches up with Brock, who is now a Pokémon Doctor, and their conversation attracts Piper's attention, leading to a lively discussion among the three.
Kashiwagi inexplicably felt that if he hadn't gone to Padia, Padpa might really have been Ash's travel companion.
The female lead...
Nemo and Peony are both very likely.
He looked at the short-haired girl who was hanging out with the Tianxing team, and went over to ask them why they were in the corner.
The answer is obvious—
The situation outside is too high-level.
Despite their past glory in the Parthian region, where they formed the Star Team and "ravaged" the area, they were actually just students.
The other people at the party are too far away from them, and not as socially adept as Nemo, so they're bound to be intimidated.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourselves. You are all outstanding students of Orange Academy. What's wrong with making some new friends?" Kashiwagi patted their shoulders lightly.
In his view, the leaders of the Tianxing team are all talented individuals who could be recruited to the Oure region after graduation.
Whether it's at Orei Academy, the Association, or becoming a Gym Leader, it's all a great option.
Kashiwa said to Biwa, "Biwa! Set a good example!"
"Eh?"
The most straightforward and gentle Biwa panicked for a moment, but then, under the watchful eyes of her other friends, she mustered up the courage to talk to Aya, who was secretly munching on sweets, "Um, it's not good for fighters to eat too many sweets, you know."
Cai Dou turned her head and was taken aback when she saw Pi Pa's tall and strong figure and her beautiful face. Then she noticed her hands.
Her palms were drawn inwards, making them somewhat blurry, but she could still see the calluses on them.
Cai Dou swallowed the cake and said, "My constitution is a bit special! No matter how many sweets I eat, I can burn them off! It's okay!"
She's lying through her teeth.
Biwa was greatly shocked. "Is that so?"
"Of course!" Rainbow Bean changed the subject, "You're a fighter too, right? What style do you specialize in?"
Pipa responded, "Wrestling..."
"wrestling!"
Ayaka's eyes lit up slightly. "I like wrestling! But I'm a successor of Galar Karate! I don't know if you've heard of me!"
How could Biwa not have heard of it? "Galar Karate is very famous!"
The two of them started chatting back and forth.
Seeing this, the other members of the Tianxing team looked at each other in bewilderment and then began to look for targets, and they successfully integrated into the group.
For example, Ordiga, who likes design, has a lot in common with professional model Lulina and socialite Chibana.
Meloco's style is wild, and he shares a lot in common with Nie Zi and his sister Mary...
Most of the people Kashiwagi knows are friendly and kind, so it wouldn't be difficult for the members of the Tensei team to integrate into their group.
Peony alone, she did not choose anyone.
"Why not go?"
"do not like."
Peony replied to Cypress Tree's words in a casual manner.
Kashiwagi nodded: "Okay."
Unlike the other members of the Tianxing team, Mudan is better at passive socializing, meaning others have to come to her. Therefore, she is also the most introverted member of the Tianxing team.
So introverted, even as the true leader of the Celestial Star Team, none of her subordinates knew her true form.
Bai Mu didn't force her, and just left her alone.
But soon, someone came knocking on the door.
It was Haru, who was chasing after Eevee, and she also brought four top-tier Coordinator Trainers with her.
"Ee-ee~"
Eevee smelled a wonderful scent from Peony and clung to her. After Peony explained, the group learned that she was an Eevee.
So Serena and May released their Sylveon and Glaceon respectively.
Peony also took the opportunity to unleash her army of Eevee.
The sheer number of Eevee pigs roaming around is enough to make any Eevee fan extremely envious.
"That's great! Maybe I should breed an Eevee too?"
Xiao Guang began to think.
Rukia didn't have that impulse; she remained steadfast in her focus on Altaria, even giving up Milotic, a ancestral weapon from the Sootopolis Gym, for which she had given up her.
The girls had a lively discussion.
On the other side.
Kashiwagi stood with Leon and Ash.
"It's a real shame I couldn't have a match with you." Among the trainers that Leon had the highest hopes for, besides Kashiwagi, it was Ash.
To help him grow, Dan Di even provided special training.
Unfortunately, Kashiwagi snatched the opportunity to fight.
If he could have defeated Kashiwagi, he could have continued battling Ash.
Xiao Zhi said confidently, "There will be another chance!"
"Yes."
Dan smiled. "Good luck in the match tomorrow! Both of you!"
His tone conveyed both regret at not being able to participate and great anticipation.
