Ash squatted down and hugged Pikachu back.
Pikachu called out weakly and rubbed the back of Ash's hand with his cheek, as if to apologize.
"You're already great, Pikachu."
Ash Take it back Poké Ball, stand up, and take a deep breath.
At this time, Gary also raised his head, and his eyes collided with Ash.
The expressions of both people changed.
At this time, both parties are determined to win!
Lu Chen looked back and focused on the battlefield.
"It seems we have reached a critical moment."
"Jiejiejie~"
Gengar emerged from the shadow of Lu Chen, holding a large bucket of popcorn in his hand and eating happily.
Its cheeks were bulging, and its two short hands moved left and right to stuff things into its mouth.
Lu Chen glanced at Gengar and smiled helplessly.
Lu Chen discovered that since coming to modern times, Gengar could always pull out some strange things from his alien space.
On the battle stage, Ash and Gary took out the last Poké Ball at the same time.
"Come on, Charizard!"
"Come on, Blastoise!"
A red light flashed.
Charizard landed, unfolded Dual Wingbeat, and the flames on its tail burned brightly.
Its wings still bear a few scars from previous battles, but its eyes are sharp and its fighting spirit has not diminished at all.
Blastoise's gaze is steady, like a moving fortress.
The two elves stared at each other eagerly.
Both Charizard and Blastoise's breathing became heavy and rapid.
Their physical strength has been exhausted, leaving only the strength for the final blow.
The whole place fell silent.
All eyes are focused on the battle stage.
"Charizard! Use the last Flamethrower!"
Ash's voice echoed throughout the audience.
Just at this moment.
Lu Chen clearly saw that Ash's heart was linked to Charizard again.
Blue light rose from Ash's feet, turned into circles of ripples, and spread along the ground to Charizard's claws.
Aura followed this invisible link and injected it into Charizard's body.
Charizard's pupils shrank suddenly. It opened its mouth, and a blazing flame spurted out.
The flame was brighter and more concentrated than usual, with a hint of blue light.
Gary on the opposite side saw this scene.
He gritted his teeth and said reluctantly
"Am I going to lose to Aura Guardian again? Damn it!"
"Blastoise, the last Hydro Pump!"
"Kame!"
Blastoise The gun barrel on the back Spit Up has two water jets.
The water column rushed up towards the flames with its final strength.
But Blastoise and Hydro Pump no longer have the power they had in their heyday.
The barrel was trembling, the water pressure was insufficient, and the range was shortened.
Flames and water jets collided head-on in the air.
Boom--!
Steam Eruption spewed out.
Thick white fog filled the entire battle arena, making it difficult for even the nearby spectators to see clearly what was going on inside.
From the thick fog came the hissing sound of water being evaporated, and the roar of burning fire.
Everyone held their breath.
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes.
His vision went from Infiltrator to Mist and he saw the situation inside.
Blastoise's water column is being pushed back bit by bit by the flames.
Hydro Pump's range is getting shorter and shorter, and the flames are burning brighter and brighter.
Mist disperse.
Blastoise was lying on the ground, his two forelimbs were supporting the ground, the barrel was smoking, and he could no longer lift it up.
"Blastoise has lost the ability to fight!"
The referee's voice sounded.
"Ash player wins! Successfully advances to the quarterfinals!"
The audience burst into deafening cheers. The audience stood up, waved their arms, and shouted the names of the two people.
"At the same time, let us applaud the two players again!"
"This is definitely the most exciting game of this Pokémon League Conference so far!"
Ash hugged Charizard happily.
"That's great Charizard! I knew you could do it!"
Charizard was choked by him and was a little breathless, but the flame on his tail swayed slightly and he didn't struggle.
"Ash!" Delia stood up from the audience with a happy smile on his face.
Lu Chen also walked over and patted Ash on the shoulder:
"Well played."
"Thank you, brother Lu Chen!"
Ash raised his head, the smile on his face was as bright as Illuminate.
And the other side.
Gary took back Blastoise alone, put Poké Ball against his chest, and was silent for a few seconds.
Then he turned around and silently left the battle stage amidst the cheers that filled the sky.
At this time, Gary's back was a little thin, but his back was very straight.
Lu Chen looked at the direction Gary left without saying anything.
In the player's seat, Aaron kept staring at Ash on the fighting stage, his eyes unblinking.
His face was ugly, with thick dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he had not slept well.
But at this moment, his eyes were wide open, his lips were slightly open, and his face was full of shock.
"It can't be wrong... it can't be wrong!"
Aaron stood up suddenly, holding the railing with both hands.
"This guy from Pallet Town, Ash--that's Aura Guardian!"
Aaron was so excited that her fingers were trembling.
The purpose of his coming to Kanto Region was finally found.
But despite being excited, he couldn't help but frown.
"But why...Pallet Town again?"
Aaron glanced at Lu Chen not far away and Gengar floating next to Lu Chen eating popcorn, and subconsciously touched his forehead.
Although the ghost-drawing talisman cannot be seen, the cold feeling is still there.
Aaron I had to do Nightmare all night last night, and I barely slept a wink.
Even if I go to Pokémon Center for inspection, I can't find any problems.
Aaron gritted his teeth and looked back.
Then, soon Lu Chen came on stage.
This time Lu Chen's opponent is a little girl, who looks a few years younger than Ash.
Wearing two pigtails, he stood on the battle stage nervously clutching his Poké Ball.
Lu Chen took off Gengar's Poké Ball from his waist and was about to send it on the field.
The little girl raised her hand directly.
"Honey... I choose to admit defeat."
The whole audience was stunned.
Lu Chen was also stunned for a moment.
The little girl blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.
She was able to get here because she was lucky.
Being able to share the stage with a player of Lu Chen's level was something she couldn't even imagine.
But what people didn't expect was that she blushed, took out a notebook from her pocket, and handed it to Lu Chen.
"Um... Mr. Lu Chen, can you... sign your name for me?"
Lu Chen looked at the notebook and sighed helplessly.
At the same time, Lu Chen complained silently in his heart:
"It seems that in this era there are not only trainers like Ash but also trainers of this type."
He took the pen and signed his name in the notebook.
The little girl took the notebook and almost jumped up with joy.
After thanking Lu Chen repeatedly, he skipped off the battle stage.
This scene left Aaron stunned.
His mouth was open and he didn't close it for a long time.
There was basically no suspense in the subsequent games.
Lu Chen and Aaron made great progress and easily advanced to the finals.
By the way, Ash was defeated by Aaron in the quarterfinals.
Although they are both Aura Guardian, Aaron is much stronger than Ash in terms of battle experience and use of Aura.
Lucario's Heart of Aura made all Pikachu's attacks fail, and Aura Sphere hit Charizard's wings accurately.
Ash lost.
But Ash was not depressed.
He took back Charizard, nodded towards Aaron, turned around and walked off the stage.
Aaron looked at Ash's back and suddenly called him.
"Your name is Ash, right?"
Ash Look back.
"I came from Sinnoh Region this time specifically to look for you."
Aaron's tone was very serious, not even the slightest bit joking.
"As Aura Guardian, you should practice with our Aura Clan!"
"Only by following us can we help you perfectly develop the Aura ability in your body."
Aaron told Ash.
"We, Aura Clan, even have a notebook left in the hands of Lord First Aura Guardian from the super ancient period."
Aaron thought he was showing off his strength, but then he showed the details of First Aura Guardian's notes.
Ash should be excited.
As a result, after Ash listened, he shook his head righteously.
"Just give up on this idea!"
Ash's voice is not loud, but Aaron can hear it clearly.
"I Ash will never go to anything Aura Clan with you!"
Aaron was stunned.
Ash puffed up his chest and said word by word:
"I, Ash, will always be the trainer of Pallet Town! The friend of Gary! The neighbor of brother Lu Chen!"
