Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

The wind is light and the clouds are thin, but the winter sun is still bright.

Walking along the road around the lake to the end of the quartz plateau, the magnificent quartz sports stadium complex appears before your eyes.

Xiaozhi, Serena, and Soji walked through the archway that welcomed the contestants and spectators, and saw the bustling commercial district and balloon ribbons floating into the sky in the distance.

The grand white rectangular stadium surrounded by four circular venues in the center is the main venue of the Quartz Alliance, the Quartz Stadium.

"Huh~ I'm finally here." Souji took a deep breath: "Xiaozhi, your challenge is about to begin."

Xiaozhi smiled and nodded: "I have to work hard."

Wow! At this moment, there was a warm cheer from a distance. Xiaozhi looked up and saw a bus and a team of police motorcycles slowly driving into the Quartz Plateau.

"What is that?" Serena asked curiously.

Xiaozhi couldn't help but smile at the familiar squinting eyes and said, "That's the team of flame runners. It is said that the flame of the molten bird will bless the runners with smooth sailing."

"Wow. Looks amazing." Serena exclaimed.

Xiaozhi and Souji looked at each other, smiled and shrugged. Serena looked at Xiaozhi strangely: "Why don't you seem excited?"

Souji smiled but said nothing, Xiaozhi smiled and explained: "We have seen Senior Red's Moltres once before when we were on Crimson Island.

So the Olympic flame is not something new to either of us.”

"Senior Red even has Moltres!" Serena covered her mouth in shock.

As the Torch Runner entered the gate, the surrounding trainers were also muttering to themselves.

"Holy flame, please bless me to win the championship and bring honor to my family."

"Woo woo, after working so hard, I finally made it to the Quartz League..."

There are also underage children looking at the sacred flame and making a wish: "One day, I will become a trainer, and then fight to the top with my friends!"

The solemn and dignified Pokémon League emblem carries the dreams of too many children.

Xiaozhi looked at the Holy Flame Runner and was suddenly shocked, then he smiled knowingly.

The squinting young man was seen holding the Olympic flame and accepting the cheers of the crowd, but his eyes were always fixed on Junsha who was standing beside him.

Who else could it be if not Xiaogang?

"That's good, now I've seen everything." Xiaozhi murmured to himself.

"Huh? What did you say, Xiaozhi?" Souji turned his head in confusion.

"No big deal. Let's go to the athletes' village to register while everyone is here to have fun." Xiaozhi pulled Serena and started running.

"Wait for me!" Souji hurriedly followed.

……

The buildings scattered around the lake are basically single-family two-story buildings, and there are probably hundreds of them.

For the Quartz League, which has about 200 participants, it is completely guaranteed that two players will be assigned to one dormitory.

Of course, this is the situation on the first day. Starting from the first day of the preliminaries, the number of people will drop sharply.

After all, the preliminary round format of the Quartz League is a brutal single round-robin format where you go home directly if you lose a game.

Because they had registered two accompanying coaches, Serena and Souji, Xiaozhi and the other two happened to be assigned to a lower floor building by the lake.

It is indeed a reassuring thing not to have to squeeze together with others.

After all, intelligence warfare is everywhere.

After putting away his luggage, Xiaozhi took out the player manual he got when he registered at the Pokémon Center and began to study it.

Although he had experienced it once, this manual was still brand new knowledge to Xiaozhi...

The athletes' village is about ten minutes away from the main venue, passing by the celebration square on the way.

As a resting place for the players, there are all kinds of facilities nearby, including restaurants, gyms, Pokémon centers, etc.

The Celebration Square is mainly a commercial street with various shops and mobile stalls. If you want to buy souvenirs or special foods, you need to go there.

As for the next battle location, there is no doubt that before the round of 16, all matches will be held in four venues: water, rock, grass, and ice.

"Okay, let's go get something to eat." Xiaozhi closed the manual in his hand and suggested, "The opening ceremony is tomorrow morning. We have some free time in the afternoon so we can go to the celebration square and buy some snacks to fill our stomachs."

"Great!" Serena immediately raised her hand in agreement happily.

"I'm going to the library to look up some information and investigate the players. You guys go have fun." Souji smiled and waved his hand: "Bring me some fried noodles."

"Okay, see you tonight." Xiaozhi nodded, bumped fists with his good brother, and left the dormitory with Serena.

With a cute Pikachu lying on each of their backs, Xiaozhi and Serena were walking hand in hand on the street of the festival square.

The classic song "I Got Pokémon" was playing in the square, and the parade of various puppets and floats dazzled the people.

Serena held Xiaozhi's hand and looked at the surrounding scenery with curiosity.

"It's so much fun, but it's a pity that mom and the others have to wait until you enter the main competition before they are willing to come." Serena said regretfully in a low voice.

"Haha, this is a test from Aunt Sachi." Xiaozhi shrugged indifferently. Anyway, after the top 16, the two mothers will come to watch the game.

"Would you like some ice cream?" Just then, a moving ice cream truck passed by Xiaozhi and the others.

"Do you want to eat?" Xiaozhi asked with a smile.

"Yeah!" Serena nodded cutely, and the little kid lying on her hat also nodded his head.

"Okay, then give us four different flavors." Xiaozhi bent down and looked at the ice cream truck.

"I got it!" Unexpectedly, two ice cream vendors suddenly snatched the Pikachu from Xiaozhi and Serena's shoulders, stuffed it into the ice cream cart, turned around and ran away.

Xiaozhi: (?o?o) Holy shit! These two are Team Rocket!

Sansha learned his lesson today. Not only did he wear a mask, he also wore a hat. Xiaozhi couldn't recognize him.

"Xiao Pi!" Salina also exclaimed.

"Hey, since you asked sincerely,

We won’t answer you today either!” The two people’s boastful voices came from a distance.

Meow Meow often popped his head out from the ice cream truck: "Hahaha, let's avenge our past humiliation, Meow!"

Only Xiaozhi had a weird smile. In the celebration square, there is a Junsha shop every 500 meters away. Are you three serious?

Sure enough, the next second~

"Jewel Starfish, water gun!"

"Rumble Rock, sharp stone attack!"

Two attacks flew in from both sides of the road, and with a loud bang, the Rocket Three Idiots took off directly on the spot.

Two Pikachus were flung out and caught by someone, one on the left and one on the right.

Xiaozhi's eyes flashed with a sparkle, and he saw at the end of the road, a calm man with squinting eyes and a cute girl with a ponytail, holding Pikachu, walking towards them from a distance.

"Are you okay~" Xiaogang spoke first.

"Luckily our gym owner is in charge of security nearby. Here, your Pikachu." Xiaoxia smiled and picked up Pikachu and handed it to the two of them.

Xiaozhi took Pikachu with a bright smile, and said with a surging heart: "Thank you, Xiaogang...Xiaoxia..."

"You're welcome. This is our job." Xiaogang nodded and turned away with Xiaoxia.

Serena sighed beside Xiaozhi: "What a trustworthy person."

Xiaozhi nodded: "Well, after all, he is one of the top three gym trainers in Kanto, which is amazing..."

Just at this moment, the fireworks in the distance have risen into the sky, and the brilliant fireworks are reflected on the faces of the boys and girls.

Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh~ The opening ceremony will be tomorrow morning, let's go back."

"Pikachu~" Pikachu lay on Xiaozhi's shoulder with a cute smile.
