Chapter 88 The Quartz Conference Officially Opens!
After Primeape evolved, Ash accepted Shiba's invitation to visit his training facility.
Unexpectedly, the Four Heavenly Kings lived in a cave full of rocks.
Moreover, they use all-natural methods for eating, drinking, living, and traveling.
"Wow, that's so hard-working! Do you have to be this hard to become a powerful trainer?" Xiaoxia thought to herself, and she still couldn't quite accept living that kind of life.
"Haha, no need. This is just my personal method for training my willpower. You don't need to follow my example."
Shiba is indeed someone who likes to mentor younger people. After helping Ash's Primeape evolve, he also taught him some knowledge about Fighting Pokémon.
"The best way to train a Fighting Pokémon is to battle it yourself!"
"Only by personally experiencing the power of the opponent's punch can we make the best plan for the next training session."
"The bond between humans and Pokémon will deepen through such thrilling battles!"
Xiao Zhi nodded repeatedly, agreeing that this was exactly what he was thinking.
"Really?" Xiaoxia stared blankly at the two muscular men in front of her, their magnetic fields seemingly resonating.
As Shiba spoke, he got emotional and unleashed his signature fast-paced punching style, giving a live demonstration of his fighting skills.
"Truly worthy of being one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Fighting, their bodies are so incredibly robust!"
From the fight between Shiba and Hitmonchan, Ash could sense that Shiba's physical strength as a normal human had reached an unbelievable level.
It turns out that besides myself, there really is someone else who can withstand a Pokémon's million-ton punch!
"Remember that there are always people better than you, so never be arrogant or conceited."
"No, I don't think anyone among humans is stronger than Ash." Misty couldn't help but refute Ash's sentiment.
However, Xiaoxia cannot say that Xiaozhi's idea is wrong. The Pokémon world is too big, and no one has been able to explore the whole world yet.
Every year, a large number of unknown Pokémon are discovered, and in new regions, there might even be incredibly strong Saiyan races.
Watching Shiba battle with the Pokémon, Ash's interest was piqued, and he released Forsaken to join the fight.
Upon seeing this, Shiba also showed an expression that said, "This kid is teachable."
[Ding! Shiba, one of the Four Heavenly Kings: Affection +2]
"They truly represent the future of the league!"
Misty, who was watching the game while holding Togepi, seemed to have heard this phrase from many people.
Ash and his Pokémon clashed fiercely, and after a powerful "Friendship Cross Punch," Forsaken collapsed.
He once again proclaimed his power.
The bond between humans and Pokémon deepens at this moment!
[Ding! Abandoned Monkey: Favorability +2; Intimacy +2]
[Abandoned Monkey: Affection and intimacy levels have reached maximum!]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1200, Attack +2, Skill: Cross Cleave]
It's been a month and a half since I returned to Pallet Town to begin my special training.
Ash basically trained all of his Pokémon.
His Charizard finally raised its Senses and Abilities to maximum through daily sweeping of wild Pokémon.
[Ding! Charizard: Affection +2; Intimacy +2]
[Charizard: Affection and intimacy have reached maximum!]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1200; Attack +2; Skill: Flame Fang]
"roar!"
Ash was also happy to see Charizard excitedly firing its flames everywhere after defeating its opponent once again.
At this moment, Xiaoxia came over and reminded Xiaozhi, who was still grinning foolishly, not to forget the important matter of today.
"Ash, it's about time we set off to find Professor Oak."
"Oh, are we leaving now?"
"Nonsense! If we don't leave early, do you think we can make it to the competition at our current speed?"
They grabbed Ash by the ear and headed straight to Professor Oak's lab.
"You haven't left yet? Gary left two weeks ago." Professor Oak was surprised when he picked up the map.
"What?! Why didn't that bastard remind me?"
"He did come, but you two started arguing as soon as you met. It was the girl in Xiaomao's car who reminded me of the time," Xiaoxia added, adding a scene that Xiaozhi has no memory of.
"Oh, that's not important, let's get going."
When they left the town, Hanako came out to see them off as well.
"Go for it, Ash! Mom and the rest of the town will be watching TV to cheer you on!"
"There's no need to go to such lengths." Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you accidentally lost?
After saying goodbye to Hanako's mother, they officially embarked on their journey to the Quartz Plateau.
The journey was relatively smooth without any major problems. After all, it was a path that many trainers had walked, and as long as you followed the trail, you wouldn't get lost.
Along the way, Ash also met many other trainers who, like him, had collected eight badges and were heading to Indigo Plateau to participate in the League Tournament.
After a tense journey, Ash and his friends finally arrived at the tournament venue in Indigo Plateau on time the day before the tournament began. They immediately went to the reception area, handed their badges and Pokédex to the receptionist for registration, and that was how they officially qualified to participate.
The benefits of the League Tournament are quite good. Not only can each player stay in the player village for free, but even their companions can stay together.
During this period, all meals were provided by the alliance, with a buffet served every day.
"We can never repay the president's kindness!"
Ash was overjoyed, knowing he could take advantage of the situation again.
On the second day of the torch relay, Ash was invited by the chairman to help pass on the torch because of his outstanding appearance and good reputation.
This was Ash's first time meeting Chairman Damaranchi. He looked a bit like Master Roshi from Dragon Ball, but with hair and a more benevolent appearance.
"He looks like an ordinary old man. Is this the man Giovanni has been fighting with for so long?"
Maybe the student council president can transform like Master Roshi.
With his help, Xiaozhi successfully achieved his first television appearance.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the side quest "You, the athlete, do your job!": Participate in the torch relay]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1200; Free Attribute Points +2; Region Favorability +1; Region Reputation +1]
Now, Xiao Zhi will do any task he can complete immediately, and he doesn't save up his free attribute points anymore; he just adds them as soon as he gets them.
Every bit of improvement is a bonus.
The torch relay went smoothly as no Team Rocket came to cause trouble.
Just think how bold Meowth and his friends are; they dare to jump out and cause trouble in a place full of trainers.
All the participating trainers gathered in the large square in front of the torch.
His next opponent might be among them, and Ash saw many familiar faces in the crowd.
"That bastard Shigeru and Jun actually made it to the League Tournament, amazing! And what about Beast Master Akira from Cerulean City...?"
He even saw Sundae from the Pokémon Academy.
"This is getting more and more exciting!"
After the Olympic flame was lit, the president of the Kanto Alliance, Tama Lanqi, delivered the opening speech.
"The Pokémon League is where trainers who truly love Pokémon battle it out."
"The sacred flame of Moltres will protect all Pokémon Trainers, so give it your all and fight a battle you won't regret."
The president's speech was unexpectedly brief.
The celebration for all the powerful individuals who have collected eight or more badges now officially begins.
