Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 127 First Encounter with Melissa, a Key Person Under Scrutiny by the Alliance?

At the registration desk, Dawn and Ash are registering for the Grand Contest.

Are you two choosing to participate as a pair?

"Correct."

Xiao Zhi nodded in response.

"Okay, then..."

"Um, wait a minute..."

Before the staff member could finish speaking, Xiao Guang quickly leaned over to the registration staff member and whispered:

"Regarding this competition, are there any cases where two contestants register together...?"

"Ah, um... that's how it is."

The staff member immediately smiled knowingly and explained:

"Many contestants chose to participate in pairs, so please don't worry."

"I see..."

Xiao Guang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as he left the front desk.

Ash and Pikachu stared at each other, wondering what Dawn had been talking about so mysteriously.

"Alright! No problem, no problem! Let's hurry up and get to training, don't waste a single second!"

Seeing that Ash was still standing there dumbfounded, Dawn hurriedly went behind Ash and pushed him, intending to find an empty spot in a nearby battle arena.

Meanwhile—

"Hey, isn't this... Hikari? So you've come to the Fate Tournament too?"

Just as Dawn was about to turn around and leave with Ash, Kengo, who had registered earlier, saw Dawn and Ash in the crowd and came up to greet them.

“Kengo, what a coincidence... but it doesn’t really count.”

After all, the popularity of this year's Origin Tournament is undeniable. Basically, any Coordinator aspiring to dominate a large stage will participate in this Origin Tournament, including Kengo and Nozomi.

"..."

After greeting Hikari, Kengo's gaze shifted to Ash and lingered on him for a short while.

Just as Ash was about to greet him first, Kengo looked at Dawn and asked:

"In which form do you plan to participate in this year's Fate Tournament?"

At this point, Kengo's tone carried a hint of nervousness, but also a touch of excitement.

However, this excitement was completely shattered by Xiaoguang in the next second.

"Me? Ash and I will team up and take the route of two trainers and two Pokémon. What about you, Kengo?"

"Yeah......"

Kengo acted as if he hadn't heard Hikaru's question, simply closing his eyes and leaving.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to declare war.

"This time, I will definitely defeat both of you. Just you wait!"

He seemed very determined, yet also seemed to lack confidence, leaving Hikari and Satoshi looking at each other, wondering what had happened.

And the next second—

"Hurry up! Hurry up and register before you get to training! Otherwise, it'll be too late!!"

A glamorous woman dragged a tired and helpless man in a suit to the registration desk.

Xiao Guang was very impressed with this contestant.

Sweet Musashi Rina.

They love to fully immerse themselves in the performances of Pokémon Contests, not just the Pokémon, but the trainer himself.

This visually striking performance style is so captivating that anyone who has seen her perform will surely remember this Coordinator.

"Sweet Musashi Lina... so she didn't know this Grand Contest was a doubles event...?"

At this moment, Xiao Guang only felt fortunate to see his fellow human beings, after all, he had previously lost a lot of face because he didn't understand the rules.

The appearance of Sweetie Jessie Lina calmed Dawn down a bit. When they arrived at the open space behind the Pokémon Center with Ash, they found that it was indeed completely occupied. There wasn't even a small space, let alone an empty area, let alone enough room for the two of them and their two Pokémon to fight.

"Ah... am I still too late...?"

Xiao Guang said this with some disappointment.

There are no battle arenas near the Pokémon Center, and there aren't any special battle facilities in Yosuga City either. If you want to train, the park might be a better choice, but considering the current number of people in Yosuga City...

Will there be any spaces available in the park?

"I don't know, it must be quite difficult, right?"

Dawn and Ash didn't have much hope for this; if things continued like this, they would probably have to train in the forest clearings around Yosuga City again.

And at the current pace, by the time we get there and finish training... it will probably be dark by then, right?

But there's no other way; after all, it's all for tomorrow's grand competition, and we have to master the performance that Hikaru came up with.

.......

As they were thinking this, just as the two of them stepped out of the Pokémon Center's area, a unique voice suddenly entered their ears.

"Oh~ A trainer with Pikachu and his companions...? Although it's a little different from the information he mentioned, you must be Ash, right?"

"you are......"

"Miss Melissa?"

"Skin?"

Standing before Ash and his friends at this moment, dressed in a magnificent gown, is Melissa, the Gym Leader of the Eternal City Gym, as well as a top-tier Coordinator and Performer.

"Yes, it is me."

Melissa answered with her distinctive accent, then turned her gaze to Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

"Hmm~ Let me see~"

As Melissa spoke, she picked up Pikachu. Under Pikachu's somewhat puzzled gaze, Melissa patted its head, then observed it carefully before finally placing Pikachu back on Ash's shoulder.

"Mmm, that's really good~ Pikachu has been trained very well. I can tell from the Pokémon's condition that you are a good Pokémon trainer."

"that......"

"Yes?"

Seeing that Ash seemed to have a question, Melissa calmed herself down.

"You know my name... could it be that you also came from...?"

Yes, that's right.

Melissa blinked, raised her index finger and shook it, saying:

"Just as you guessed, it was Mr. Gossong who told me. But to be more precise, Mr. Gossong recommended you to the entire Sinnoh League. You are now a key candidate for consideration by the Sinnoh League."

Ash: "???"

The Sinnoh League is a key entity under their consideration.

What is this thing?

Why had he never heard of this before?

After meeting Melissa's smiling gaze, Xiaozhi inexplicably felt a little guilty.
