Pokémon: Draw Shiny Zeraora at the start?

As Xu Ning was trying to remember which Pokémon were in Tetsuya's Pokémon team, Xiaozhi and Ahong met.

"Are you a Pikachu trainer too? Come out, Ryan," Hiro said as he summoned his own Pikachu.

"You have a Pikachu too. By the way, you look like the trainer I'm battling tomorrow."

"Um, I'm the trainer who will fight against you tomorrow, Hiro. Please give me your guidance." Hiro was shocked by Satoshi's thick-skinnedness.

"Ah! You are my opponent tomorrow! Hello! My name is Xiaozhi, please give me your guidance!" Xiaozhi said in surprise.

Hiro and Xiaozhi were chatting about similar interests, and Pikachu and Ren were rubbing cheeks against each other. Xu Ning watched the scene of Xiaozhi and Hiro chatting, and remembered that in the anime, the reason why Xiaozhi couldn't beat Hiro was partly because Charizard didn't listen to Xiaozhi's command, and partly because Team Rocket consumed the physical strength of Xiaozhi's Pokémon. Otherwise, with Hiro's strength, Xiaozhi could have defeated him even without sending Charizard.

It seems that we need to find a way to stop Team Rocket from causing trouble tomorrow. Thinking of this, Xu Ning said to Xiaozhi:

"Xiaozhi, come with me to the competition venue tomorrow, so you don't oversleep again."

"I know, brother. How could I oversleep? I have Xiaogang, Xiaoxia and the others with me now." Xiaozhi muttered.

In this way, Xu Ning chatted with Xiaozhi and Ahong for a few words and then prepared to get up and leave. After they said goodbye to each other, Xu Ning set out on the road back to the hotel. On the way back, Xu Ning kept thinking about a question-what Pokémon did Zheye have? He tried hard to recall, but only the image of a Meowth wearing shoes emerged in his mind. As for other Pokémon, he had no impression at all.

"Forget it, forget it if you can't remember it." Xu Ning shook his head and said to himself. After all, he still had some confidence in his own strength. Although he couldn't compare with top masters like Sirona and Daigo at present, he was still confident enough to win against ordinary king-level opponents. Thinking of this, Xu Ning's worries gradually dissipated, and he decided not to dwell on this issue anymore and put it behind him.

After returning to the hotel, Xu Ning simply washed up and climbed into bed to rest. Lying on the comfortable bed, he closed his eyes, feeling his body relax and the fatigue gradually disappear. Soon, he fell into a sweet dream, and his thoughts drifted away with the dream...

…………

After waking up and washing up, Xu Ning and Nancy went to Xiaozhi and the others' room. After meeting up with them, they had a casual breakfast in the hotel and then walked towards the competition venue.

On the way to the competition venue, Xu Ning was looking around as if he was looking for something. At this time, "Ahong" suddenly appeared in front of him and called Xiaozhi over. Xu Ning knew that it was Team Rocket who was trying to capture Xiaozhi's Pokémon. Xu Ning quietly sent Gengar to find Team Rocket and others hiding on the side, and then followed Xiaozhi to "Ahong". As soon as he got closer, he found that this "Ahong" was a robot. Robot Ahong suddenly stretched out his arms and tried to catch Pikachu, but Xu Ning, who had been on guard, kicked the robot down with one foot, and then summoned Charizard, which directly destroyed the robot with a jet of flame. At this time, Team Rocket and others on the side were also blown away by Gengar's Shadow Ball.

In this way, the obstacle for Xiaozhi to participate in the competition was removed, and Xu Ning could go to the competition with peace of mind. Without the obstruction of the Rockets, Xu Ning and his party soon arrived at the competition venue. Since the knockout rounds used an ordinary venue, the top 16 matches had a time order, and Xiaozhi's match was before Xu Ning, so Xu Ning came to the audience to watch Xiaozhi's match.

Following the commentator's introduction, Xiaozhi and Ahong walked out of the contestant channel, and they both had a Pikachu on their shoulders. Only one of these two people who looked so similar would advance today.

"Both sides can use three Pokémon, and they can change Pokémon at will. Whichever side loses all its Pokémon's combat capability will be defeated, and the official game will begin!"

As the referee finished explaining the rules, Ash and Hiro summoned their Pokémon at the same time.

"Come out, Bobby."

"It's decided to be you, Squirtle."

With a flash of white light, Squirtle and Butterfree appeared at the competition venue.

"Xiaozhi, come on! Let's have a hearty and exciting game!"

"Haha, great! Hiro, I won't lose to you that easily!"

"Bobby, use the hypnotic powder." Hiro gave the first order.

Butterfree used hypnotic powder and threw it at Squirtle. In the anime, Ash's Squirtle didn't have the energy to dodge the hypnotic powder and was taken down by Butterfree in one wave. But now, Squirtle, which has not consumed any energy, can easily avoid the attack range of the hypnotic powder.

"Squirtle, use water cannon."

After dodging Butterfree's hypnotic powder, Squirtle fired a water cannon at Butterfree. Butterfree itself was not very fast, so it barely dodged the water cannon's attack. The water cannon's attack also washed away the hypnotic powder in the air. Xiaozhi gave another order:

"Squirtle, use Rocket Headbutt."

Squirtle instantly retracted into its shell, stretched out its legs, and rushed towards Butterfree like a missile. Butterfree did not react in time and was hit hard. Butterfree was knocked out and fell to the ground. Xiaozhi ordered Squirtle to use the water cannon again, and this time it successfully hit the target! It directly made Butterfree lose its ability to fight.

"Thank you for your hard work, Bobby. Now I'll leave it to you, Ryan."

Hiro said as the Pikachu on his shoulder jumped off and walked into the arena.

"Ryan, Squirtle, use Rocket Headbutt."

With Xiaozhi's current fighting skills, he would not think of taking back Squirtle and keeping Charmander to fight against Hiro. Squirtle instantly rushed towards Ren like a cannonball.

"Ryan, use Lightning Flash," Hiro ordered.

Ryan instantly turned into a flash of lightning and rushed towards Squirtle. The two Pokémon collided with each other, and Ryan was knocked back a few steps because he was not as heavy as Squirtle. However, Hiro did not panic and gave an order:

"Ryan, use 100,000 volts."

Ryan immediately gathered electrical energy and released 100,000 volts to rush towards Squirtle, but Xiaozhi ordered Squirtle to retreat into his shell. This attack successfully hit Squirtle, and the effect was excellent! This attribute restraint of 100,000 volts directly made Squirtle lose its combat ability.

"Squirtle, you've done great. It's decided that it's you, Pikachu."

Xiaozhi also sent out Pikachu. Xu Ning saw Pikachu come on the field. As expected, Pikachu was going to act again. If he didn't act, with Pikachu's current strength, although he doesn't have the strength to defeat the legendary hammer champion like in the later part of the anime, it is more than enough to deal with this kind of novice trainer.

Pikachu quickly jumped into the field and greeted Ryan.

"Pikachu, use Lightning Flash."

"Ryan, use Lightning Flash."

With two very synchronized commands, Pikachu and Ryan quickly rushed towards each other and collided with each other. Both Pikachu took a few steps back, but it was obvious that Ryan was forced to retreat, so he staggered a little, leaving deep footprints on the ground, while Pikachu took the initiative to retreat, and his retreat movements were smooth, and the footprints on the ground were not clear.

It's really Pikachu! Such acting skills! Lucario and the others should learn from him, otherwise if they meet Xiaozhi later, it will be bad if they hit him too hard.

"Pikachu, use Iron Tail!"

"Ryan, let's use Iron Tail too."

It's the same move again. The two Pikachus wrapped their tails with steel energy and rushed together to start a melee. Here! You need to pay attention to the key points! Pikachu can actually dodge every Iron Tail, but every time he lets Ren's Iron Tail hit him lightly, never hitting him head-on, and Pikachu's Iron Tail always hits Ren after releasing the force.

Just like that, when Pikachu and Ryan separated, they were both panting. Ryan was really panting, and Pikachu was also really panting. They had to dodge, pay attention to strength, and act at the same time. It was really tiring.

Seeing that both Pikachu were running low on energy, Xiaozhi and Ahong decided to decide the outcome with one strike.

"Pikachu, one hundred thousand volts."

"Ryan, one hundred thousand volts."

The two sides tacitly used Pikachu's signature skill 100,000 volts to decide the outcome, but 100,000 volts was Pikachu's signature skill after all, so it was still better. In the end, Ryan lost his ability to fight, and Pikachu won. At this time, Xu Ning in the audience applauded, and Nancy, Xiaogang, Xiaoxia and others looked at Xu Ning with confusion on their faces. Why did they applaud when the game was not over yet?

Little did they know that Xu Ning was impressed by Pikachu's acting skills, which were so realistic. Only people like Xu Ning who knew Pikachu's true strength could see that Pikachu was letting him win, other people couldn't see it at all. Xu Ning felt that Pikachu should really make movies, and he would definitely become a phenomenal star Pokémon. His acting skills were amazing!

Back to the competition field, Hiro sent out his Charmander. When Ash saw Hong's Charmander, he suddenly seemed to remember something, called Pikachu back, and summoned Charizard.

Xu Ning watched the scene of Charmander fighting Charizard on the field, and he knew that Xiaozhi wanted to plant a dream for Ahong's Charmander like he did.

Soon, every time Charmander used a skill, Ash would let Charizard use it as well, but without hitting Charmander, wanting Charizard to see the powerful strength of its evolved form. However, Ash obviously didn't understand that this was a competition, and such behavior would make Charizard feel humiliated. Hiro's Charizard was a bit timid, and was provoked like this, so it was angered and evolved. Ash was a bit thick-skinned and didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior. Seeing Charmander evolve, he thought it was effective. Then, Charmander finished evolving, and rushed towards Charizard, not listening to Hiro's command, and rushed towards Charizard like crazy. Charizard didn't dodge either, and let Charizard attack. Finally, he became impatient with Charizard's attack, and hit Charizard with a jet of flame, making Charizard lose its combat ability.

"Charmeleon lost his ability to fight, and the winner is Satoshi from Pallet Town!"

"Xiaozhi, congratulations, you must charge towards the championship!"

"I will, Hiro."

Ahong did not care about Xiaozhi's behavior. After saying these words to Xiaozhi politely, he walked out of the competition venue. Xu Ning in the audience looked at Xiaozhi's behavior just now and his face turned black. He knew that Xiaozhi wanted to plant a dream for Ahong's Charmander, but his behavior was inappropriate, so Xu Ning planned to scold Xiaozhi this time.

When Xiaozhi came to the audience and told Xu Ning and others about his promotion declaration, Xu Ning said to Xiaozhi:

"Ash, why did you summon Charizard to fight Hiro's Charmander in the end? And you humiliated Charmander like that?"

"Humiliate? Brother, I'm not humiliating it. I'm planting dreams for Charmander, just like what you did to my Charmeleon." Xiaozhi asked in confusion.

"Growing dreams? Did I plant dreams for you when Charmeleon used a move and Charizard copied it? Did I plant dreams for you in the competition? Do you think this behavior is planting dreams for Charmander? Instead of humiliating it, saying that every move of its is inferior to your Charizard? Let it know that you have the ability to defeat it, but you never defeat it and humiliate it from the sidelines? If you were planting dreams, why would Charmander be so angry that it evolved into Charmeleon, and then disobeyed Hiro's orders and rushed towards Charizard like crazy?"

Xiao Zhi listened to Xu Ning's words and slowly realized that he seemed to have done something wrong. He lowered his head in shame and said:

"Brother, I know I was wrong, what should I do now?"

"Now go and apologize to Hiro, apologize to his Charmeleon, then summon your Charizard to show Charmeleon how to mega evolve, and then tell Charmeleon that as long as you evolve into Charizard, you can perform such a cool evolution. This dream is not to show it your strength, but to let it feel your strength, but not against it."

After hearing what Xu Ning said, Xiaozhi ran to find Ahong to apologize. Xu Ning also left the audience and went to prepare for his own game.
