Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 756: Alola's Young Flame

"Oh!!! Royal battle, let's fight!!"

The Royal Dome, Haole City's largest fighting facility, features a massive circular stand surrounding a brightly lit boxing ring.

This is the most popular battle event in Alola besides the Archipelago Tour.

There are hundreds of four-person teams deployed into combat every year.

Xiaozhi, Red, and Green were sitting in the VIP seats, watching the four-person fight on the ring with interested expressions.

"Dear battle fans, welcome to the annual finals, a royal battle initiated by the Avengers, Raiden-san, Tsuchimikado-san, and Poison-hand-san.

And the final contestant is none other than… the reigning champion, Alola’s strongest fighter!

Royal Mask!!” The commentator’s voice was extremely high-pitched, and the audience immediately became boiling with excitement.

In the box, Chihong clenched his fists and his blood started to boil.

Xiaozhi and Qinglv smiled awkwardly. Although he was wearing a mask, the Royal Mask was Professor Kukui who had just brought them in!

"Dr. Kukui...you're quite good at having fun..." Qinglv curled the corners of his mouth.

"Hmm? Where's Professor Kukui?" Chi Hong was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists. "Ash, the battle atmosphere in Alola is pretty good. This four-player free-for-all is like dreaming back to our time. It's so exciting!"

"I remember it was still different. You can't attack trainers in Royal Battles..." Ash answered hesitantly.

"You mean, trainers can attack Pokémon?" A green voice sounded.

"Eh?" Xiaozhi turned his head and saw that in the stands, Professor Kukui's Blazing Roaring Tiger was being directly grabbed by the legs and waist by three opposing trainers...

"Ah, this... this is a foul, but it seems that no one stops fouls in royal battles..." Xiaozhi covered his face with his hands and sighed helplessly.

"Oh!! Royal Mask represents justice's DD Golden Hook Arm!" The commentator's voice sounded.

In the ring, Blazing Roaring Tiger transformed into a high-speed spinning head harvester, directly knocking down the opponent's Pokémon and trainer...

"Ah! That feels great!" Chihong waved his hands excitedly.

Qinglu rolled his eyes: "Humph..."

Only Xiaozhi was completely confused: "Who am I, where am I, what am I doing..."

Soon, Xiaozhi knew what Professor Kukui was going to do.

On the stage where everyone was watching, a shirtless Dr. Kukui took the microphone and said, “Everyone… thank you for your support of Royal Mask for so long.

I want to say...it's time to say goodbye to this identity. Today, I will take off the mask.

At the same time! I declare that I will complete this grand farewell battle together with Alola's first champion, Ash, the legendary fighter Red, and the legendary cultivator Green!

That’s right... what I want to say is that the Royal Mask is about to reach the end, and in the future there will be the young flame of Alola, champion Xiaozhi to support the glory of Alola!

Now, cheer with me, Alola!!"

As the mask was removed, Dr. Kukui raised his hands, his eyes sparkling with tears.

This is the farewell battle for the "superhero" he created, Royal Mask.

From then on, it was only Professor Alola, the head of the Champion Affairs Bureau, and Professor Kukui, without the Royal Mask.

"What a passionate man." Qinglu sighed slightly.

"Let's go, Xiaozhi!" Chihong stood up suddenly. "A man's decision needs no further explanation. Playing well in this match is the greatest respect."

"I understand." Xiaozhi nodded solemnly.

This is the baton passed to him by Professor Kukui, which means that from today on, everything he once protected, the dream of the alliance, and the title of the most popular hero in Alola, are all entrusted to Ash!

In order to make the ceremony grand, the two legends Red and Green were even invited to participate.

I believe that after this game, Xiaozhi’s character “The Young Flame of Alola” will become a household name.

In the hearts of the people of Alola, its significance is even greater than the word "champion"!

"Okay, everyone, the next game will be reported for you by me, Moltres, Kojiro, Articuno, Musashi, and Meowth, Zapdos!" In the commentary booth, the three Rockets idiots dressed in suits and began to get into character.

At the back of the audience, Merdan and Uncle Sakaki were holding their binoculars in a low-key manner.

"Do these three have this talent?" Uncle Sakaki thought, stroking his chin.

After completely giving up the dream of Team Rocket dominating the world, Uncle Sakaki has no objection to having a few more talented people under him.

He even agreed with Merdan to create a pet short video account together...

The name is: The Cat-Raising Master's Extreme Househusband Way...

"Tsk tsk, Kukui really loves Satoshi." Merdan curled his lips. "He practically gave everything he's accumulated over the years to Satoshi. Originally, if he wanted to, becoming the Alola Champion would have been no problem at all."

"Humph~ He is indeed not bad. However, compared to Xiaozhi, he is still far behind.

You natives don't understand at all~ Kukui fell to the ground and found a thick thigh for you." Uncle Sakaki leaned back in the seat and habitually touched the cigar, and then Murdan stuffed a sausage into his mouth.

"Hmm?" Sakaki looked at Merdan in confusion.

"This is a non-smoking area in the auditorium. Just make do with it." Merdan spread his hands. Sakaki curled his lips, pinched the ham between two fingers and took a bite...

At the four corners of the arena, Xiaozhi, the other two, and Professor Kukui took their respective positions.

"Ash, just give it your all and fight." Dr. Kukui looked in the direction of Ash expectantly.

"Doctor... I will take over your baton." Xiaozhi nodded seriously.

"Hmph, I won't show mercy." Brother Qinglu crossed his arms and spoke arrogantly.

"Oh, Green, you're too serious." Red nodded cheerfully to Dr. Kukui, "Royal Mask is really cool. I will use all my strength to defeat you and everyone else."

"I'm honored to fight two legends! Let's begin!!" Dr. Kukui roared.

Referees didn't need to come up and could simply be stationed at the four corners of the ring. As long as there wasn't a fight between trainers, they wouldn't interfere in other situations.

"Snorlax! Go!" Red threw the Poké Ball first. With a rumble, the meaty Snorlax bounced on the field, standing firm like a bouncy ball.

"Giant Iron Tyrannosaurus! Come on stage!" Green opened the Poké Ball with his backhand.

Boom! Heavy armor covered the khaki stone skin, and a mountain-like momentum suddenly pressed down on Xiaozhi and his companions.

"Xiaozhi, go ahead, I will support you!" Professor Kukui's eyes flashed: "Give it your all! My dear friend, please!"

Green fluorescence lit up, and a minotaur fell from the sky!

Tapu. Moo!

"Then~ Tapu Kokoro, it's decided to be you!" Xiaozhi understood and also took out the island guardian to appear.

"Let's go side by side." Dr. Kukui and Xiaozhi nodded.

Green and Red glanced at each other, then curled their lips in disdain and turned their heads away...

To be continued...
