Chapter 330 Kengo and A-Xun, who don't get along
Encountering a Pokémon at the Pokémon Center in the mountainous area of Ritsuryou Town is an extremely rare and unexpected event.
After their encounter, Shinji did not choose to travel with Ash and the others, since there was no need for Shinji to stay in Rikurami Town.
However, Ash and his friends need to stay in Rikurami Town for a few more days until the Rikurami Tournament is over before leaving.
"Hey! Did you hear that?"
The next day.
After descending the mountain, we arrived at Lilang Town, located at the foot of the mountain.
Xiao Guang and the others had already gone to register for the Grand Contest. Taking advantage of this opportunity, A Xun, with a mysterious smile, after confirming several times that no one was around, tiptoed to Xiao Zhi's side and whispered in a voice only Xiao Zhi could hear:
"Did you know what? I heard that a monster has appeared in this year's League Tournament, and he seems to have subdued—"
"Darkrai, right?"
Ah Xun: "......"
Why doesn't this guy play by the rules?
This was such explosive news, which Ash had only recently learned, yet Ash casually recounted it.
He made himself look like a clown.
However, something is a little strange—
"Why don't you seem worried at all, Ash? I heard that guy has more than one legendary Pokémon!"
"That doesn't really matter."
"what?"
Ah Xun was surprised that Xiao Zhi gave this answer.
The reason Ah Xun told Xiao Zhi this news at this time was mainly to analyze with Xiao Zhi what to do.
The difference between legendary Pokémon and ordinary Pokémon is enormous, a fact that Ashon deeply understands. However, he hasn't yet come up with a good solution for defeating Darkrai.
That's why I wanted to try and see if I could get any inspiration from Xiaozhi.
As a result, Xiao Zhi seemed more confident than anyone else.
"No matter how many legendary Pokémon he has, whether it's one or six, they will eventually meet at the League Tournament."
Ash said calmly, "As long as I train my Pokémon to their full potential before the League Tournament, I can defeat any opponent no matter how many legendary Pokémon they have!"
Although the training time was very short.
But Ash remained confident in himself.
After all, no matter how powerful Darkrope was, it couldn't defeat Cynthia. Even in its past form, it still managed to defeat two of her Pokémon without much preparation.
As long as it doesn't involve opponents like Ho-Oh, Groudon, or Kyogre, victory is possible right now.
"How optimistic. No wonder he's the one who subdued Darkrai—"
Ah Xun sighed.
Ash and Shinji alone are already troublesome enough.
Now another guy has arrived who might be even more troublesome.
Are legendary Pokémon just common cabbages? They're something that only appears once every ten years or so in previous league tournaments, yet they're so common in this one.
Just as Ash and Ash were chatting like this...
Kengo unknowingly found himself behind Ash again.
"Ash, why don't you consider participating in this Grand Contest?"
"Huh?" Ash asked, puzzled. "Why would I participate in a Contest for no reason?"
"..." Kengo was silent for a moment before saying with a hint of resentment, "When we went to register, Hikari kept praising you, saying how high your level in the Grand Contest was, and that even she couldn't compare to you."
"Hmm...it's not...that good?"
Xiao Zhi hesitated.
After all, he doesn't like to lie.
In the future, he and Hikaru will probably be evenly matched in the Grand Contest.
If the schedule is extended, the odds will probably be 40/60.
He is four, and Xiao Guang is six.
Of course, that's the probability of winning or losing based on fully adhering to the principles of the Grand Contest.
The premise is that he cannot directly kill the game.
So rather than saying he has a talent for Contests, it's more accurate to say that he and Dawn both have a talent for the Trainer profession.
"I hesitated."
Kengo initially thought it was just Hikari's biased view of Ash.
Although Kenjiro and Ash haven't interacted much, Kenjiro is quite familiar with Ash's personality.
Ash doesn't lie easily, but at this moment, he hesitated when faced with Dawn's praise.
This was something that Kengo found hard to accept.
As a Pokémon Trainer, there's no reason why he lost to Ash.
But if he can't even beat Ash as a Coordinator, then what does he have to compete with Ash for?
"call--"
Kengo adjusted his mindset, straightened his collar, and then suddenly pointed at Ash, challenging him to a battle.
"Come and participate in this Grand Contest! I will defeat you fair and square in the Grand Contest! I will show you just how much Prince Bo and I have grown since we parted ways!"
Kenjiro is still resentful about being defeated by Ash last time.
However, Kengo's determined challenge had no effect whatsoever.
At least after listening, Ash just showed an expression of annoyance.
As for the Grand Contests, if it weren't for Haruka and Hikari constantly inviting him to participate for fun back then, he wouldn't have participated in so many Grand Contests later on.
For some reason, both of them seemed to have an inexplicable obsession with facing each other on the Grand Contest stage.
Even when they lose, they still look very happy.
I really don't understand.
Moreover, this grand competition is of great significance to both Hikaru and Nozomi, and he doesn't want to ruin their rare opportunity to face off by getting involved.
"Hey, Ash—"
"Ok?"
Just as Xiaozhi was hesitating, unsure of how to answer...
A good citizen, Mou Xun, suddenly poked his back and whispered, "Don't worry about him. Although I don't know what he means by 'growth,' his Prince Bo is really not that strong. It's better to fight my Emperor Nabo again than to fight him."
"Ah Xun!!!"
Kengo's roar echoed across the open space.
Even the crowds that kept pouring in were drawn to Kengo.
"What are you doing?! I'm telling the truth! How could you hear me when I was speaking so softly?"
After all, it was talking badly about someone behind their back, and even if what they said was true, Ah Xun still couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"This is a grand contest! Simply trying to incapacitate your opponent won't earn you recognition!!"
"But you can't expect Ash to suppress his strength and fight you, can you? That would be pointless!"
"Who asked him to give up?!"
It seems that Kengo and Ah-Xun really don't get along.
Ash, whose identity had been reduced to that of an observer, watched the scene unfold before him, muttering to himself as he silently slipped away.
Let the young people argue about it themselves.
