Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

"Go ahead, Caracalla!"

"Squirtle, it's you who decides!"

The boy's voice made his blood boil. In an open space in Viridian Forest, a competition between Xiaozhi and the young boy Saizo was in progress.

The fat warrior in armor reluctantly acted as the referee.

It's not that he doesn't want to fight, he has already been pressed to the ground by Saizo and Xiaozhi in turn, and now he is questioning his life...

As for Xiaozhi and Saizo, they undoubtedly have much more experience in battles, especially a certain "rookie" who has participated in eight league tournaments.

"Karakara, use the bone stick to attack!" Saizo wielded the wooden sword and attacked with great force.

"Kara!" Caracara raised his bone stick, rushed over at an accelerated speed, and chopped it down on the head at Squirtle.

"Squirtle, shell!" Xiaozhi was not in a hurry. Attacking blindly would expose weaknesses. Don't ask him how he knew this, he had suffered a lot in this regard!

Squirtle flexibly retracted into its shell, and the bone stick hit Squirtle's hard shell with a snap.

Squirtle's shell is extremely hard!

Not only that, the rising red light indicates that Squirtle's defense has increased!

"Squirtle, it's our turn to fight back, charge!" Xiaozhi didn't use the water gun right away because it was not the right time yet.

"Jennycatme!" Squirtle suddenly stretched out its limbs, pushed the ground hard, and rushed towards Caracalla.

"Karakara, get out of the way!" Saizo responded hurriedly.

However, Squirtle's instant acceleration had already hit his face, so it was not so easy to dodge!

Although defensive counterattack is not Xiaozhi's favorite rhythm, based on the experience of the master level, this is the attack method with the highest success rate.

Bang! Squirtle and Caracalla collided head-on, and a fierce elbow hit the other and sent him flying.

Caracalla left a mark on the ground and stood up awkwardly.

"Now is the time, Squirtle, bubbles!" Ash continued his tentative attack, and his timing was perfect.

Deep in the forest, two figures stood quietly in the shadows, watching the two people fighting in the field with interest.

"How is it?" The young man in the red hat looked at the man next to him with some excitement.

"Well, although the Pokémon is a little immature, his command method is very sophisticated. In this respect, he is better than you were before~" The slender-eyed young man crossed his arms and spoke jokingly.

"Hehe, that's why I said, he is qualified!" The young man in red had an excited look in his eyes.

"Are you looking for a strong enemy for yourself?" he said with a squinting smile.

"Haha~ I guess so." The young man pressed down the brim of his hat and said calmly: "It's really boring without an opponent who can fight with all his strength, you know~"

“Talent that is too great will eventually become one’s enemy.” The squinty-eyed young man sighed, with a look of regret on his face.

……

"Use bone sticks to defend!" On the open ground, Saizo regained his footing.

Caracara spun the bone stick in his hand at high speed, blocking all of Squirtle's bubbles.

However, Xiaozhi smiled and said, “Very good, I have figured out the opponent’s defense mechanism.

Squirtle, charge!"

"Jenny!" Squirtle bravely patted the little bald head and quickly attacked the opponent's defense line.

"Gather your energy!" Saizo assumed a posture of drawing his sword, and Caracalla followed suit, putting the bone stick behind his back and assuming the same posture.

Sniff~ A white smoke came out of the nostrils, and a layer of white fluorescence slowly rose around Caracalla.

"Change tactics, high-speed spin!" Xiaozhi suddenly changed his strategy.

Squirtle approached Caracalla without any hesitation. He retracted his shell and then spun the entire shell at high speed towards the opponent.

"Bone stick attack!" Saizang drew his sword and slashed.

"Kara!" Kara Kara swept the bone stick in his hand with great force, bringing up a gust of wind!

Bang! Squirtle's high-speed rotation was changed by the bone stick, and it rushed straight into the sky.

In mid-air, Squirtle suddenly stopped, stretched its limbs out of its shell, and pounced towards Caracalla with its teeth and claws bared!

"Eh? This Squirtle is so strong!" the fat referee exclaimed.

The young man with squinty eyes in the forest showed admiration: What a high level of intimacy, Squirtle not only responds quickly to commands, but can also change behavior patterns based on his own judgment.

There is no doubt that he has considerable trust in the trainer.

"I didn't make a mistake. But this is not enough." The young man in red took two steps back and sat on his Charizard.

"Are you leaving? Don't you want to see me?" He smiled with narrowed eyes.

"It's not time yet." Leaving these words behind, the fire-breathing dragon soared into the sky, transformed into a black form in mid-air, and accelerated towards the Silver Mountain...

……

In the venue, Caracalla was pushed to the ground by Squirtle, with his hands clamped by Squirtle, and his eyes widened in fear.

Xiaozhi glanced at Squirtle awkwardly. This wall-dong-like posture was indeed too ambiguous...

"But, it's already been caught!" Xiaozhi looked at the bone stick thrown aside and said, "It's disarmed, let's see how you can block it!"

"Squirtle, water gun to the face!"

"Johnny (?ˉ??ˉ??), puff!" The powerful water gun rushed straight to his face.

"(*???)!! Kara... Gulp~ Gulp~"

The ground-based Cara Cara screamed, gulped down several mouthfuls, and then passed out...

"Brother Xiaozhi wins and Saizo loses!" The fat man immediately raised his hand to make the decision.

"Damn it! My practice is not enough!" Saizo hit the fat boy on the butt with a wooden sword, then took back the Caracalla.

"Ouch!" The little fat boy covered his butt and jumped three feet high: "He beat you, why did you hit me!"

"Any objections?" Sai Zang glared at the fat boy.

“No~no…” The little fat boy shed tears of humiliation. If I could beat you two, I would never endure this humiliation today no matter what I say!

Xiaozhi touched Squirtle's bald head, marveling at how delicate it felt. Then he took Squirtle back and shook hands with Saizou.

This is the rule of street competitions. No matter whether you win or lose, you are still friends after the game, and everyone shakes hands and smiles to show reconciliation.

"Xiaozhi, what are your plans next?" Saizo asked curiously.

"Go to Nibe City and start challenging the gym competitions." Xiaozhi said bluntly.

"In Nibi City, Mr. Xiaogang there is very strong. Are you confident?" Saizo asked with a smile.

"A gym tournament isn't a fight to the death. I believe as long as I'm sincere and ask with an open mind, no one will make things difficult for me." Xiaozhi grinned.

Unlike street challenges, almost every gym trainer in this world is a master of various attribute specializations.

Competing with them can accumulate a lot of experience points, which is the fastest way for newcomers to grow.

After all, the duty of a gym is for experienced gym trainers to teach challengers all kinds of knowledge about combat.

As long as you have the right attitude and show your passion and progress, generally speaking, even if you fail in the gym tournament, as long as you have met the requirements of a gym trainer, you will be awarded a badge.

Once upon a time, Xiaozhi also thought that defeating the gym trainer and getting the badge meant he dominated the gym.

It wasn't until he grew to a high enough level that Xiaozhi discovered that other gym trainers would never use their main Pokémon to compete in gym tournaments.

If you challenge a gym for the second time that you already have a badge for, you will know what it means to increase your strength!

"You didn't conquer this gym, you just got the recognition of the gym owner~" It took Xiaozhi many years to understand this truth.

"Then let's go our separate ways here." Saizo and Satoshi shook hands and bumped fists again: "I plan to practice for a while longer, and when I'm confident enough, I'll challenge the gym!"

"Yeah, see you at Quartz Plateau~" Xiaozhi said seriously.

"See you at Quartz Plateau." Saizo patted his chest and responded with the same seriousness.

The two sides waved goodbye, and the warrior Xiaopang said goodbye to Xiaozhi with a sad face, and then was dragged by Saizo into the dense forest...

Xiaozhi took a deep breath and looked at the path in the forest. If he walked along this path, he would soon be able to pass through the forest.

Thinking of the man who had taken care of him for several years, Xiaozhi sighed softly: Xiaogang... must be a very gentle man.

The old man in the woods blushed: "This... this guy, what nonsense is he talking about..."

To be continued...
