Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 693: Top 8 Grouping Confirmed

Miare Conference, the second day of the round of 16 match.

"Ikuzu... hehe..." Xiaozhi hummed his own bgm and leaned on the edge of the railing watching the game in the field.

Above the main venue, the passionate voice of the commentator resounded through the sky.

"Defeated!! Shinji's electric beast hit Blastoise with a violent thunderbolt!

Let us congratulate Shinji from Sinnoh for advancing to the quarterfinals!! "

Shinji's determined smile appeared on the big screen, and the audience burst into cheers.

At the front of the audience, Shinji's good brother, Raiji, who looks exactly like him, raised his arms and shouted, "Great! Shinji! You've tied the best record! Let's keep going!"

"As expected of your rival, Shinji is indeed a strong opponent." Ai Lan folded her arms across her chest and appeared next to Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi curled his lips at Ai Lan: "When you beat up Doraba, you weren't so humble..."

"Ahem...a competition is a competition." Ai Lan turned her face away in embarrassment.

"Look, isn't that contestant Xiaozhi?"

"And contestant Ai Lan!"

"Wow, the living Kalos hero, eat my Master Ball!!"

Xiao Zhi's anus tightened, his body shook, and he pushed Ai Lan into the crowd of fans, then turned around and ran away.

"Fuck, Xiaozhi, you're not a human being..." Ai Lan could only complain once before she was drowned out by the wave of fans.

Xiaozhi climbed over the guardrail and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Ai Lan-san, I'd rather die than let my friend die..."

Then, the Carlos "legend" turned around and ran without any hesitation...

Shinji, who had just left the stage, looked at Xiaozhi's back and silently clenched his fists.

After running out of the sports field, Xiaozhi lowered the brim of his hat and scurried into the western restaurant he had booked.

"Hey! Big star, are you being chased by your fans and running away?" As soon as he entered the box, Jin Laowu's teasing voice came as expected.

"Huh... now I understand why Brother Red has to cover his face with the brim of his hat when he goes out." Xiaozhi tugged at his collar, took the boiled water handed to him by Serena and drank it all in one gulp.

"We don't need to care so much about it now. After all, it's out of date." Qinglu looked at Chihong beside him.

Chi Hong pressed down the brim of his hat out of habit: "..."

Tokiwa Cloves covered her mouth and chuckled: "Among all the legendary trainers, the reputations of the Fighter and the Trainer are always far ahead."

"Eh? Where are my mom and Aunt Sachi? And Xiaoyin and the others aren't here either?" Xiaozhi turned his head curiously.

Serena nodded, “Mom and Aunt Hanako went to get a spa treatment with Professor Oak, and Officer Silver went to help Sister Azure run the stall.

Shana and Doroba went to pick up Senyeruno. After Senyeruno lost to Shinji, the three of them will probably return to Asaka Town. "

"We are here too." Yurika pulled Liliae and said cutely.

"Okay, okay, then let's not wait any longer and eat." Xiaozhi nodded helplessly.

Just when Xiaozhi asked for more food for the third time, Xiaomao walked into the box, exhausted.

"Oh~ Isn't this my dearest relative, brother Xiaomao? I thought you would cry for a few days." Xiaozhi hugged Xiaomao's neck and smiled.

“Haha, if I could beat you…” Xiao Mao rolled his eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense, the 16-to-8 round is over. Hurry up and watch the TV broadcast. The new grouping will be announced soon."

"Okay, okay~" Xiaozhi raised his hands in surrender, and Hitlon beside him turned on the TV.

“After a brutal elimination round, the top eight players have all been decided.

Xiaozhi, Shouta, Shinji, Ailan...

That's good. All the people who should be promoted are here! As for the rest, except Xun Xiang, who is an acquaintance, the other three... I wish them good luck.

"Next, the battle groups will be announced!!"

"It's coming!" Serena clenched her hands nervously.

Finally, Xiaozhi's profile picture was arranged together with that of another acquaintance.

In the quarter-finals, Xiaozhi's opponent is: Shinji!!

"Tsk tsk, enemies often meet on a narrow road." Xiao Mao immediately showed an expectant smile.

Shinji's post-match interview was being broadcast on TV.

"No matter who my opponent is, I will give it my all! Yes, the same goes for No. 1 seed Xiaozhi!"

"Oh...it's interesting!" Qinglu and Chihong teased with disrespect.

Xiaozhi could only rub his wrist and stand up: "Okay, Shinji just wants to provoke me to fight with all my strength to satisfy him~"

"Let's go, young master. Should we think of a strategy against Shinji next?" Xiao Mao looked at Xiao Zhi.

"Don't worry, I'll take Liliae and the others shopping this afternoon." Serena nodded obediently.

"Let's go~" Xiaozhi also agreed and followed Xiaomao to the information room for a small meeting.

Red and Green looked at each other.

Red: I haven't fought enough! Do you want to fight again?

Qinglu: Are you afraid of me? We have both been kicked out of the training hall. If you have the guts, find a wild lake and have a fight!

Citron: (′-i_-｀)...The wild environment near Miare is in danger...

In the Miare Library, Xiaozhi and Xiaomao put their heads together, and the computer screen showed two figures.

Buried in the mountain of documents, Minghui's baseball cap stands out.

"I checked, and the information of the new Pokémon that Shinji re-registered in Kalos is zero. So, we can roughly deduce this kid's lineup."

Without the knitted hat, Yuuki, whose hairline was getting higher and higher, scratched his head. He felt that he looked more and more like Mr. Chisato, that's right, his hairstyle!

"According to the battle records on the official website, it can be basically determined that the opponent's Mega opportunity lies with Charizard and Boskodora.

The problem is... this guy should have hidden a second system. We have to be on guard..."

Shinji happened to pass by the library and just looked in: Oh my god...

How could I deserve the help of two champions to plot against me...

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to trick me!

The lights of late night illuminated the window of the data room. Xiaozhi gently typed the appearance information of Pokémon on the keyboard. Then he stretched his body and walked out of the door holding the sleeping Pikachu.

Click, just in time, Shinji from next door pushed the door open and the two met in the corridor.

"Are you ready?" Xiaozhi asked with a smile.

"Nothing can go wrong." Shinji stared at Xiaozhi with sharp eyes: "We have been preparing for so long just for the revenge battle with you."

"Then see you at the stadium..."

"See you at the stadium..."

……

The next day, the Miare venue was bustling with people and every seat was packed!

The first round of the quarter-finals is about to begin.

"Dear audience, the Kalos League, the Miare Conference quarterfinals showdown is about to begin!

First, let us welcome today’s first group of contestants!

Shinji from the Sinnoh region, and Satoshi from Kanto Pallet Town!! "

Step on the moving platform to both sides of the battlefield.

Xiaozhi and Shinji looked at each other quietly.

In the front row of the audience, Professor Oak was missing from Satoshi's group of friends and family. I heard that he was counseling Mao.

Lei Si was also sitting on the other side of the audience today. No matter what, he would witness his brother's game until the last moment.

The referee was already in position, and with the whistle, he swung his right hand fiercely: "Game on!"
