278 Ash?
"I'm Ash. I'm from Shinshin, and although I might have said something about it, I think I'm a pretty good trainer. After all, I was relatively active in the previous regional tournament and achieved good results, and after that, returning to Zhenxin Town was also used as an after-dinner conversation by everyone, and my mother was also very proud of me, and my father also called back to congratulate me. Although I haven't won a substantial championship, my strength has been recognized by everyone. Although this is also largely thanks to the master's guidance to me. "A teenager, with a cap, in the players' lounge, sat there, meditating. This is also what my master taught me, and concentrating before the game is conducive to playing better. It's better to be able to close your eyes and not think about anything, but if you can't, just think about the journey you've gone through.
"The master is a very powerful person, I never knew that I could reach that point as a trainer before I met the master, and the master told me that he is not the most powerful, and the master alone knows that there are several people who are stronger than him, and they are all people around him, so the master believes that in such a big world, there must be more powerful characters, so the master is still working hard until now. The master thought that I was a hard worker, and said that I was very talented, and that I might be able to be stronger than him in the future, and I was really happy after hearing this, so I also made up my mind to work hard, and I got to this point. The boy continued to ponder. I didn't even notice a knock on the door.
"I have a few opponents, one is a guy named Shigeru who grew up with me, he is the grandson of Dr. Ohki, and if I had to describe him, he is really only a 'genius'. Since he was a child, he has been better than me in both knowledge and actual combat. I've always been treated like a fool by him. Although I was very unwilling, it was true that I could not win against him. Then we both went on a trip, and I met him many times during the trip, but I didn't win every duel. In my first league game, he and I were both round 16, but to be honest I still don't think I'm better than him. Later, at some point, he decided to stop being a Pokémon trainer and become a scholar instead. He's smart, so I don't think there's anything strange about that. But in terms of strength alone, it seems that I still can't win against him. There were a few times when I lost to him. Occasionally, I win, but generally speaking, I win more and lose. This hit me hard. And then later, he subdued Dream again. If he uses dreams, I don't have a chance of winning. So I was really ...... Perhaps, despair. However, not admitting defeat is probably the only advantage I have left. It seems that Shigeru also went abroad to compete as a youth representative. Then I met my master, and then during the regional tournament, I finally officially defeated him in the team duel! Xiao Mao admitted that I was better than him!" the boy thought. Although it should be a very rewarding situation, the boy did not show any happy expression.
"And then the other, and the biggest and strongest opponent, is Aaron. Aaron is a wanderer, with no previous memories, and although he set off on the same day as me and Xiaomao, I don't actually know anything about him. Aaron is much stronger than Xiao Mao. In the first time I participated in the league, Xiaomao and I stopped in the round of 16, but we were still said to be a good result. But he won the championship the first year, and then he won the championship the second year, and the third year. In his first years as a trainer, he created an undefeated myth. Won championships everywhere and then became known as the most talented trainer in recent years. And not only that, but he also subdued legendary Pokémon such as the Flame Bird, the Lightning Bird, the Frozen Bird, Lokia, and Shelabi, as well as the Phantom Beast Mewtwo, as well as special Pokémon such as the Giant Swift Dragon and the Giant Stinger Jellyfish. Everything speaks to his talents. And although he is the same age as me, he has already been elected to be the representative of the country. Now this contest is being held, and in the first few rounds, they have defeated Miss Gadelia, Xiao Mao, and Li Long, a national player from China. And right away, it's a showdown between me and Aaron!" the boy said, and then at this time, too, he noticed that the door opened at some point, and the orange-haired girl was standing in the doorway. The girl didn't speak, just waited by the side.
"Xiaoxia, do you think I can win Aaron?" To be honest, the current teenager is a little confused. He wanted to defeat Aaron very, very much, probably even if it was more than faith, there would not be many people stronger than him. The boy knew very well that this competition meant something extraordinary to Aaron. This time, Aaron will go all out. And maybe if you miss this opportunity, you won't know when the next opportunity will come back.
"I don't know. The girl said with a soft smile. The boy continued to sit in his chair with his hands on his forehead in a pensive position. The girl approached slowly, and then hugged the boy's head.
"But one thing I do know is that you are the kind of person who never gives up. Ash, you've become stronger, and the current Aaron isn't something you can't reach. I don't know, but I'm sure you'll win. I'd love to join hands with you to advance to the round of 32 or something, but it's a pity that I've already lost. "Just a few times ago, the girl lost to Miss Sirona.
"Well, that's what I'm saying. The boy also understood. Obviously, moving forward bravely is one of the few advantages he has, but now he is discouraged at such a critical time. Either way, just do it!
"Thank you, Xiaoxia. Ah, by the way, I have something to say to you after I come back from the competition, can I spare time?" the girl had already let go of the boy, and the boy said suddenly, and the girl was stunned for a moment, because the boy basically wouldn't say such a thing to himself in such a serious tone. Is it because of the girl's heart, the girl still thought of a possibility, and her face turned red in an instant. Seeing the girl's reaction, the boy also panicked, and his face began to redden.
"Hmm...... Well, I see. The girl said with a slight twist. The boy also nodded vigorously, as if trying to hide his shyness.
"But speaking of which, Xiaoxia, what are you doing here to find me? Then suddenly he thought of this, and the boy also reacted.
"Ah, yes, now is not the time to do this!" the girl suddenly remembered her original purpose, "Your game has begun! Aaron is waiting for you now, I just saw that you have not come, so I came to you." Someone must have been looking for you before, haven't you met the staff?"
"I didn't meet it, I did go to the toilet before......"
"I've really convinced you, and I've convinced myself, anyway, let's go! If you don't show up for a long time, even if Aaron helps you speak, you will still be considered to have given up. The girl said, and took the boy's hand, and the boy also shouted Pikachu, Pikachu climbed onto the boy's shoulder, and the girl pushed the door out, and the two rushed back to the playing field.
"Oh, Ash, you've finally come out. Being late or something will leave a bad impression on the audience and the referees, and then again, it's really rare that you'll be late. "There was already a tall teenager standing at the other end of the field waiting. When the tall young man saw this, he immediately said, "And Xiaoxia, you've been there for a long time, I'm a little curious about where you dragged Ash from." Or what the hell have you done?"
"Ah, I don't argue with that, because I'm stupid. It seemed that I wanted to refute Ah Long or something, but thinking of her own series of actions just now, the girl didn't plan to say more.
"Aaron, sorry, I'm late. I was thinking about something just now. The boy spoke to Aaron. When Aaron heard this, he showed a slightly surprised expression.
"I see, it seems that Ash is also prepared this time. Did you have any ultimates to deal with me? I'm sorry I won't be able to get hit easily. Aaron said. It seems that the phrase "think about something" just now made Ah Long feel that the boy would rather be late just now than sort out his tactics or something.
"Well, that's what it should be. Although it can also be replied that he was just concentrating just now, but this is not an important matter, and saying that he is thinking about tactics probably makes people feel more stylish? And it's really not a big deal.
"Oh, that's ......," Aaron smiled as if he had seen something in it.
"Then, due to the tardiness of the Zhi player, this time the dragon player got the right to choose the attack first and choose the venue. The referee announced. This punishment mechanism is available in many major tournaments, but because it is generally rare to be late or something, ah, it's not that the phenomenon of being late is rare, but it is relatively rare to be late to the point where the referee will judge you as "late". So this is the first time Aaron has encountered such a situation.
"In this case, Ash, it's okay to use a standard venue, right?" Aaron said, the boy was stunned for a moment, and nodded.
"If you strike first, you can attack first, Ash. Aaron continued, and Ash nodded in understanding.
"Then Ash, I'll go back to the audience first. As for what you just said, I'll wait for you. The girl said.
"I see, I'll go to you after the fight. I will definitely come to you with victory!" said the boy. Then the girl left. Aaron looked at the situation and scratched his head.
"What's the matter, Aaron?, I'll send Pokémon right away. ”
"No, it's not just that, were you just putting up a flag for yourself?"
"What do you mean?"
"No, nothing. Here we go. Aaron said. With a strange expression, the boy threw out the first Pokéball, and it was Kirbymon that came out!
"Then, come on, Pikachu!" and Aaron called out Pikachu directly!
