Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 925 Ash's Teammates in the Exchange Match

After completing their research report, Ash and his friends finally returned to Tabletop City.

To Xiao Zhi's surprise, the person waiting for him in the office was actually an old acquaintance!

"Oh, it seems you're really enjoying being a teacher." The teasing voice was tinged with laughter.

Ash stared wide-eyed in surprise. Although his hair had grown long, his fierce eyes and the smug pose of one hand in his pocket still shone through.

"Shinji?!" Ash walked up with a smile, and the two bumped fists and hugged. "What are you doing in the Padilla region?"

"Minghui said that a gym leader was needed here to be in charge of the exchange competition, so I came. I didn't expect to be with you?" Shinji smiled slightly.

"You brat!" Ash punched Shinji on the shoulder. "You say being a teacher is easy? You're even more easy as a gym leader at home."

That's right, Shinji is now the highest mountain in the Sinnoh League. After Electric was promoted to the Elite Four, he took over as the Gym Leader of the Electric type. His ace Pokémon are the gluttonous Alolan Raichu and Electivire.

He was ruthless and often beat his challengers until they cried for their parents.

This old guy's favorite saying is, "You guys are still a hundred million years behind the Grand Slam champions of yesteryear."

He's stirring up trouble for Ash everywhere...

"Being a gym leader is so much easier. Look at Minghui, his hairline is getting higher and higher these past two years," Shinji teased with a smile.

"Haha, that's why I'm fast." Xiao Zhi blinked: "Alright, let's go, I'll take you out for a meal."

"No rush, do you know the detailed rules of the exchange match?" Shinji asked curiously.

"Huh? What kind of exchange match?" Ash scratched his head in confusion.

"I knew it..." Shinji rolled his eyes, took out the electronic invitation in his hand, and unfolded it in front of Ash.

"In order to deepen the exchange and development of the academy, we have specially invited Mr. Shinji to be his partner and challenge Chairman Yaji together with the academy teachers."

Students in the Taijinghua training program team up with gym leaders who have completed the basic tests to challenge the Elite Four of Padia.

I hope everyone will give it their all, showcasing their style and skill!

"Does that mean the students and the gym leader are going to face off against the Elite Four in a two-on-one battle?" Ash asked, looking at Paul.

“That’s right.” Shinji nodded.

"Then, shall we... challenge Master Yaji together?" Ash continued to ask.

“That’s right.” Shinji continued to nod.

"Then she's not going to blow it up?" Xiao Zhi blurted out.

"Pfft..." Shinji covered his mouth and couldn't help but laugh, "That should be right too..."

"Tsk tsk... Clavel, that old man, he's really screwed over the guild master..." Ash shook his head helplessly.

"Let's go grab a couple of drinks and discuss some tactics," Shinji said casually, putting his arm around Ash's shoulder.

"Alright..." Ash clicked his tongue. After all, he's the League President... so he should be a bit stronger than a regular Champion, right?

After all, both Shinji and Ash are already far beyond the level of an average champion.

I just don't know if the academy allows the use of mythical beasts...

……

The next day, Ash introduced the three little ones to Shinji, and the group went to the library to submit their report.

Principal Clavel was also pleased to announce the outstanding performance of the three students whom Xiaozhi had specially "mentored".

We've specially prepared an exchange match for everyone to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings.

"In addition, there will be a final performance extravaganza. Ash Ketchum and Paul Shinji, the strongest Gym Leader from Sinnoh, will challenge the face of the League, President Johnny!!" Principal Clavel announced loudly.

"applause!!"

A chorus of applause erupted as the students cheered with delight. The Four Heavenly Kings and the League President joined the match.

These tickets should be sold at an exorbitant price! How can they get them for free at school! Many of the children who came to visit today immediately stopped their parents.

"Daddy, Mommy... I really want to go to Grape Academy!"

"Heh heh, I'm truly a maverick in the education world." Principal Clavel walked away with his hands behind his back, concealing his achievements and fame!

"I'm counting on you two this time, Ash and Shinji. I hope we have a good match." President Yaji approached the two with a warm smile.

Even Shinji was slightly taken aback by the elegant daily routine. Then, while everyone was heading to the playground, he followed behind Ash and gave him a reminder.

"Be careful, this guy isn't as harmless as he looks," Shinji warned earnestly.

“Of course, to become the top leader of the league, Chairman Ci is not an easy person to get along with.” Ash nodded.

Furthermore, this is an exchange competition. The use of mythical beasts is prohibited. Therefore, the test will be teamwork.

Arriving at the sidelines, Xiao Zhi greeted the teachers and then calmly found an empty seat in the stands, lounging down like a carefree Ge You.

Shinji, on the other hand, sat upright next to Ash.

"Then, I hereby declare the friendly exchange match officially open!!" Huang Bo, as a teacher in the combat department, will act as the referee this time.

The three little ones stood on the sidelines, nervously looking in Ash's direction.

"Your little babies are looking for their mother. Aren't you going to go and join them?" Shinji said with a smile, sitting to the side.

"No need, this is a necessary part of their growth process." Ash looked calmly at the sky.

"Besides, who said my students... are weak?"

"Then I'll have to look at you in a new light." Shinji chuckled, rubbing his hands together and pulling a bag of popcorn out of his pocket.

Among the teachers, Argate, disguised as a teacher, was sweating profusely and left the field without looking back.

“That teacher…” A cold glint flashed in Shinji’s eyes.

"I was an undercover agent," Xiao Zhi said casually in a low voice.

"You knew that?" Shinji asked in surprise.

"Of course~" Xiao Zhi nodded: "I'll keep it to amuse idiots."

“Okay…” Shinji rolled his eyes.

A sudden commotion erupted in the arena, and a spirited girl wearing a loose hoodie and two magnetic hair accessories suddenly jumped out.

"Everyone... Kishuki, I'm here!!"

"Miss Qishu?!" the three little ones exclaimed in surprise.

“Since Miss Qishu is here, then…” Riko and Roy looked at Xiaodian.

Xiao Dian covered her face: "No way, I'm the one who starts the show?"

"Dian Dian...come here quickly!" Qi Shu waved enthusiastically, and Dian Dian could only walk stiffly onto the battlefield.

"Dian Dian, let's cheer each other on! Use your tactics against the opponent today!" Qi Shu said happily.

"Will it really go that smoothly?" Dian Dian had a bad feeling.

"Wow, so cute!!" Just then, a little cutie, barely a meter tall, waddled out of the passageway across from them.

"Poppi is here!"

"Holy crap, a kid?" Shinji exclaimed from next to Ash.

"She's nine years old, but her strength is definitely at the Elite Four level," Ash nodded affirmatively.

"Born in Rome, huh... Hmph..." Shinji snorted and sat down with his arms crossed.

Dian Dian helplessly shrugged at Qi Shu: "It seems the situation has changed..."

Poppy is one of the Steel-type Elite Four, so Substitute and Poison have no effect on her.

"Hmm... In that case, let's just go for it." Kiki hesitated for a third of a second, then immediately brightened up.

Both sides were ready, and Huang Bo raised her hand to announce: "Exchange match, doubles 2 vs 1, begin!! Woohoo!!"

To be continued...
