Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 937 Target: Northbound Township

After the noisy interlude at the Grape Academy ended, Ash ignored Spinner's chrysanthemum injury and returned to Brewshire City with the three little ones.

Beyond is now in a state of panic, with shareholders led by Emegio uniting to launch an attack. Even the powerful Gibing behind the scenes can only force Spinner to temporarily retreat to the background.

On the surface, promoting Emegio to a leadership position in the exploration team temporarily quelled public anger.

Xiao Zhi and his friends had no time to worry about the current situation of Beyond Company, because they had already embarked on the long-awaited, valiant Asagi!

Thanks to the combined efforts of Oreo and Madek, the Ascension Volt Attack Team's amphibious spaceship, the Brave Asagi, has been upgraded and returned!

"Not only does it use a larger combustion chamber, but the main power bearing has also been upgraded to the latest model, giving it more powerful horsepower for both flight and navigation!" Oreo proudly introduced to Ash and the others.

"Wow, that's amazing~ I didn't understand it." Roy scratched his head.

“Not only in terms of power, the entire spaceship uses century-old wood from near the Tree of Life, taking into account both lightweight and sturdiness,” Fried explained.

“Besides that, the restaurant, the infirmary, and the lookout tower have all been renovated. My proudest achievement is this—the secret weapon.” As everyone followed Fried’s finger, a red button was quietly hidden behind a glass cover.

"Wow! (???? ?????)!!" Ash and Roy's eyes lit up at the same time.

"I really want to press it..." Ash looked at Fried expectantly.

"No way!" Fried and Captain Pikachu blocked Ash and his companion together.

"I already said it's a secret, you two better control yourselves a little!"

"This is boring~" Ash and Roy pouted.

Rico and Little Dot, standing nearby, secretly covered their mouths and chuckled. It turns out that boys can still be interested in this kind of thing at any age.

"Alright, everyone stop messing with Fried, let's go to the restaurant. I made soufflés in the new oven." Fortunately, Madeke successfully attracted Ash's attention, otherwise Ash would have definitely tasted the saltiness of the secret weapon today.

"Phew~" Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Fried rolled his eyes helplessly. Luckily, Ash didn't know that the Brave Asagi had a sports mode...

In the restaurant, everyone had a plate of fluffy, cloud-like soufflé cake in front of them. Xiao Zhi's cake had a layer of black sesame paste and steamed milk, which looked incredibly tempting.

"Aww!" Ash took a big gulp before looking up: "So, is the first stop for Team Volt's revival confirmed?"

“It’s confirmed, this is it!” Fried pointed to the map on the wall: “Northern Township!”

"Beishang Township?" Riko and the others looked up curiously.

"I remember the Summer Camp organized by Grape Academy was held here, right?" Little Dot said after a moment of surprise.

“That’s right, our goal is to visit Ms. Bai Leiya, who is temporarily in charge of the Summer Camp here,” Fried explained. “Her ancestor, Heizhe, was the author of the Book of Purple and the Book of Crimson.”

I think she should have more information about Taleborgs. This will be of great help to our pursuit of the Six Heroes.

"I see, then let's go to Beishang Township!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Beep beep beep..." Ash's phone rang, and it was Principal Clavel.

"Hello, Principal, what can I do for you?" Xiao Zhi answered curiously.

"Well, Mr. Xiaozhi, there's a task concerning the honor of the academy that I must ask of you," Principal Clavel said earnestly.

"Oh? Tell me about it," Xiao Zhi replied curiously.

“It’s about the exchange competition with Blueberry Academy.” Clavel sighed. “We’ve been discussing a student exchange program with Blueberry Academy.”

In order to establish the dominant position of both parties in future cooperation, Xi Lan, the principal of Blueberry Academy, proposed that each party send its best students to a four-on-four exchange match.

The winning side will be able to dictate the subsequent teaching plan.

"It sounds pretty normal," Xiao Zhi mumbled while eating his cake.

"That's the problem. That shameless old woman Xi Lan actually sent out the Blueberry Academy's Four Heavenly Kings, led by Du Ruo!" Clavel explained through gritted teeth.

"My older brother Xilan is a genius. He established the 'EcoEgg' in the center of the ocean in the Unova region. The Blueberry Academy is located there and is a newly established academy in recent years."

By introducing a competitive mechanism similar to an alliance, Blueberry Academy has fostered a large number of outstanding talents.

The most outstanding talents among them are the students known as the "Blueberry Four Heavenly Kings".

Among them are the grandson of Dragon Master Shaka, the daughter of Boss Kiku, and the distant niece of Martial Arts Master...

He sent them here directly for this exchange; that's practically sabotaging my business!

"So, Principal, you want me to teach them a lesson?" Xiao Zhi asked tentatively.

"Cough cough... You don't need to do it yourself." Principal Clavel almost choked to death.

"Well, Riko and the others are well-trained, aren't they? I mean, the three of them plus Nemo, you should train them properly for two days."

"Then, this competition is in your hands."

“But…we’re about to go to Kitakami Township…” Xiaozhi hesitated.

"It's alright! The original location for the exchange was Beishang Township. Besides, would you like to see the reward he offered?"

A blue ghost mask appeared on the phone screen.

"The blue mask from Kitakami Village's legend. It is said to be something belonging to the legendary Pokémon Urgot that was misunderstood."

"Eh..." Ash's gaze sharpened: "The exchange tournament sounds quite interesting. The main thing is to help the principal solve his problems!"

"Haha, I knew you were reliable!" Principal Clavel's face was beaming with joy.

"As long as Blueberry Academy admits defeat, I'll make the decision: give all participating students full scholarships!"

“Okay, Principal, then let Nemo gather at the port of Brewmaster City.” Ash nodded: “For the competition, I have to give them some intensive training.”

“No problem.” Nemo appeared on the deck as soon as Clavel hung up the phone.

"Yo! Ash Ketchum, we're here!" Nemo appeared with Pipa.

"What's this?" Ash asked Pipa, puzzled.

"Ash, please let me join the training!" Pipa immediately slid down to his knees.

Nemo shrugged: "This guy is really trying hard to get stronger, and he's been pestering me to practice with him lately."

“Okay…then you’ll be in charge of the sandwiches.” Ash nodded.

“No problem, I’ve got it covered!” Pipa nodded immediately with delight.

"Alright, guys, go back to your cabins. Fried, find a bigger spot," Ash called out, turning around.

"Understood! The Valiant Asagi, set sail!!"

As the spaceship slowly took off, the group headed towards a nearby uninhabited reef.
