Sika gasped slightly, tiredly removing the weight from his body little by little, and collapsed on the lawn.

"Are you okay with that?"

[Recently, the speed of physical recovery has been getting faster and faster, just give me a little time.] When I reach a critical point, I should evolve and become mature, and my recovery speed may increase again. 】

Looking at Ash, who took out the Poké Ball, Sika sat up with some difficulty, and reached out to touch the center dot of the Poké Ball. The irresistible suction pulled him into the darkness.

"Let's get some rest."

Ash who retrieved Sika glanced at the Poké Ball a few times, put it back on his belt, picked up the little fire dragon's egg, and trotted towards the outside of the Pokémon Center with Pikachu on his shoulder. Wataru and the others were still waiting for him outside.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Pushing open the door, everyone who was standing in front of the door talking about something waited for Ash to return to the team, and then followed Wataru, who was wearing a hood and a mask, towards a slightly desolate beach in Withered Leaf City. Because it was already in the afternoon, the sun had dimmed a little.

"Is it okay for you to go back later?"

Xiao Mao asked, Gong Mingxun, who seemed to be very interested in King Duten, asked.

"Ah, it's actually okay, although I missed this ship back to the Sinnoh area, but tomorrow there are two more ships that will also be sent to the Sinnoh area, although it is not a direct to my hometown city, but if I can see Mr. Watari's battle, it will be okay to spend a little time walking back."

"I would be honored to hear such praise from you."

Wataru chuckled, already seeing that the neighborhood was gradually desolate, and then stopped, and found a piece that was quite empty, not far away, but a messy vegetation, and there were no Pokémon in the open space, and after making sure that no pedestrians would be affected in this vicinity, he paused.

"If there's no problem, it's here."

The group stopped, and Ash hurriedly replied:

"Yes."

"But until then... Let's clean up this site. If it's a battle arena, it's big enough, but if you want to clean up the weeds, let's clean it up. ”

Lei Si glanced at the surrounding environment, this kind of place is full of dead weeds and shrubs, if you are not careful, it is easy to cause fires, it is better to eliminate all the hidden dangers before then.

"I'll leave this to me. Come out, Wind Speed Dog. ”

Xiao Mao volunteered, took out the baby ball in his hand, and gently threw it.

"Roar..."

The white light flashed, and with a low roar, a giant dog about a man tall, with orange-red fur mixed with black stripes, quietly appeared. The thick voice is dull and intimidating, the fur is shiny, the physique is strong, and it looks very well developed.

The wind speed dog with good development, but the eyes don't seem to be so fierce and aggressive, and it shouldn't be a Pokémon that likes to fight.

Wataru nodded slightly.

"Do any of you have water-type Pokémon?"

"I don't want to burn all the bushes here."

"Come on, it's just the same guy as the first elf I'm going to use in the next battle with Mr. Watari."

Ash, who was gently holding the huge head of the wind speed dog, finally got serious in the strange eyes of Raysi's younger brother Shinji and untied a Poke Ball on his belt.

"It's up to you, Blastoise!"

With the force, the red and white Poké Ball slashed an elegant arc in the air, and quietly emitted a white light as it tumbled. The huge monster fell from the sky and smashed deeply into the ground, and the ground shook a few times.

"Click, Mi!"

With sturdy limbs and plain eyes with a hint of iris, the blastoise peeled off everyone's surprised eyes as soon as it appeared. Raiji, Shinji and Miyaaki couldn't help but compare it with the Sinnoh region, which is a grass-based and ground-based Pokémon, and it seems to be more ruthless.

Although the weight should be much lighter than that of the perennial life on the ground, and the weight difference between marine and terrestrial turtles is very large, the Blastoise is significantly more aggressive than the heavy Tutai turtle.

"Blastoise..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Wataru's eyes.

"Now, you actually took a step ahead of me, Ash."

Xiao Mao looked Ash's Blastoise up and down with a little surprise, and said with a smile.

"No, it's just a little bit of luck, almost all of my elves were seriously injured in order to subdue him."

As if remembering something, his left hand, which was in his trouser pocket, gently rubbed an empty baby ball in his pocket.

"Now he is my main player, although he may not be able to win against Mr. Wataru, but he can't lose the momentum either."

“... Do you use the main Pokémon as soon as you come up? ”

Shinji, who was standing slightly away, was a purple-haired boy with a cool look whose face had not changed much, and he silently stood beside his brother Raiji and muttered to himself.

"Mr. Wataru is putting too much pressure on him."

Raiji on the side heard Shinji's self-talk and spoke.

“... What do you mean? ”

Gong Mingxun glanced at Shinji and continued to explain to him as Raiji spoke.

"Pokémon Competitive is a very rigorous and varied competition, and the state of a Pokémon trainer often plays a crucial role in battle, in other words, if a trainer is not in shape, it is very likely to affect the normal match, and eventually lead to the defeat of the match."

"And the battle is imminent, Ash is planning to take measures to calm his emotions during the battle. It's a risky, but it's the best way to deal with emergencies. Ash is nervous, so he needs a little confidence adjustment, as long as his Blastoise can not lose so badly, and even win a game, it will definitely give Ash a strong reassuring effect. ”

Thunder Si looked at the flames of the wasteland, a royal blue water ball in the hands of the blastoise rose into the sky, exploding into a splash of water, but in a moment the sea of fire actually quietly subsided like this, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue in his heart.

Whether it's the wind speed dog or this blastoise, it's so strong...

"He is worthy of being a trainer who is valued by the Dragon King... It's just that a trainer who traveled only a short time ago was already able to subdue such a powerful Pokémon. It's a little embarrassing to think about yourself. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I only went out to travel at the age of eleven, and I turned out to call back all day long and ask the old brother who asked the map I don't know how long it took for the fat man to evolve into a Muk Eagle."

"Long-winded!"

Thunder looked at Shinji, whose expression on his face had basically not changed at all, but was ignored by the latter.

"The battle is about to start, don't quarrel with the two of you."

Gong Mingxun looked at the two brothers who seemed to be about to fight, and hurriedly pulled the two of them with a funny smile. On the other side, Shigeru retracted the wind speed dog and ran out of the arena, Wataru and Ash each stood on one side, and the battle was about to break out.
