Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 956 The Challenge of the Sky-Piercing Flame

"Teacher, you're so fast!!"

When Riko and her two friends woke up early in the morning, they found Winged Hair taking Ash's place at night watch.

After Pikachu explained and gestured, the three little ones finally understood that while they were fast asleep, their teacher had casually captured a Paradoxical creature...

“This child looks fluffy and cute…” Rico leaned closer, wanting to touch the winged hair.

"Riko, watch out..." Ash had just opened his eyes when he heard...

"Eek!!!" The piercing scream instantly made everyone cover their ears.

"My God, that's an outrageous voice..." Roy wailed, clutching his head.

"Ancient species communicate mainly by shouting, so they all have loud voices," Ash explained, while retracting his Winged Wing.

"Okay, okay, you've worked hard, take a rest."

"Phew, we're saved!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Compared to the future species, the ancient species are more ferocious, but also easier to tame,” Teacher Bai Leiya added from the side.

After all, cultivating a bond with cybernetic life forms is indeed quite difficult without a super-countering power like Ash's...

"Alright, everyone, let's get ready and set off. The observation point for filming the Sky-Breaking Flame is just ahead," Teacher Bai Leiya continued.

The group washed up by the stream and then continued their search.

In a secluded corner not far away, Coral, sporting dark circles under her eyes, sat up: "I was yelled at by Ghost Fatty all night..."

Onikis shook his head: "You still say it's all because you didn't put it in the Poké Ball?"

"Ara ara, never mind, I'll sleep a little longer..." Coral retracted its Roaring Tail and fell asleep.

"You... fine..." Onikis' vision went black, and he fell asleep!

……

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends finally arrived at the observation station. Although they hadn't spotted Beam yet, they decided to grab a bite to eat there.

After spreading out the picnic blanket, everyone began their picnic...

"Although... this is so lacking in tension," Riko said, looking around with some concern.

"It's okay, waiting patiently is the best way," Ash said, feeding Pikachu as he reassured it.

"Besides, Talebagos is here. If it's Lucius's Pokémon, it will definitely come looking for it."

“Yes, Baggogo, I’m counting on you.” Rico patted Talebagos’ little head.

Before he could finish speaking, Talebagos suddenly raised his head: "Bago!"

"You're here?" Little Dot asked in surprise.

Thump! A dull landing sound followed as a huge figure leaped over the cliff face and arrived behind Ash and his friends.

“Eight!!” Talebagos and Voidflame looked at each other across the distance. A pure power rose from Voidflame’s body and flowed into Talebagos’ body.

"It resonated!" Fried exclaimed in surprise.

"So you mean~" Roy's eyes widened.

"He's Lucius's Pokémon! There's no doubt about it!" Riko and Spot exclaimed excitedly.

As Talebages withdrew its power, Blaze noticed Ash and his friends and stepped forward.

"Roar!!" With Blaze's roar, the other four heroes also automatically emerged from Riko's Ancient Poké Ball.

After exchanging greetings, these guys went straight to...

"So you mean they won't get involved in what happens next?" Fried asked with a smile.

“Teacher…” Riko glanced at Ash.

"Go ahead," Xiao Zhi nodded.

Piercing Flame followed Riko's gaze to Ash, who slightly curled the corner of his mouth and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Roar! !

Jie!!

Two figures appeared in the void behind Ash: Thunder Drum and Ripple. In addition, the image of Ho-Oh rose and spread its wings and cried out.

"Awooo..." Blaze immediately turned its head away, feeling guilty and no longer looking at Ash.

Rico stood firmly before Skybreaker and slowly said, "We, along with Oliva, Laplace, Scizor, and Moltres, are preparing to follow in Lucius's footsteps and return to Laqua together."

Everyone has decided to go together as partners. Blazing Flame, what about you?

"Hmm~" Blaze closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then shook his mane and released his Ancient Poké Ball.

"Does this mean they agree?" The three little ones exclaimed excitedly.

However, the next second, whoosh! A huge claw slashed across Riko's belt, and Lucius's other Poké Balls were directly trampled underfoot by Flame Thruster.

"Huh?!" Ash glared at him. Seeing that Flameth's hind legs trembled, but it still stared intently at Riko, Ash didn't make a move.

"What does he mean by this?" Roy and Dot had already come to Riko's side, and together they looked at the Sky-Breaking Flame warily.

"Tch~ Lucius's Pokémon are all the same arrogant tsundere." Ash scoffed.

"We need to confirm whether you are qualified to have this guy follow you."

"In other words... he has to approve before he'll agree to become a partner," Fried explained.

"There's no other way but to fight him." Rico gritted her teeth.

Ash, holding Pikachu, found a place to sit down next to Ms. White.

"Teacher Xiaozhi, aren't you going to help them?" Bai Leiya asked incredulously.

"It's a small matter; they can handle it themselves." Ash waved his hand. "Besides, even if I intervene, Blaze wouldn't agree with Riko."

"But..." Teacher Bai Leiya wanted to say something more while holding up her phone to record the Blazing Flame.

Ash simply took out a U-shaped pillow, hung it around his neck, and Pikachu skillfully placed its head on it as well. The two of them fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

“Sobres…” Azure Flame Blade drew a line in front of Ash and White Leah, then pointed its sword at Sky Piercer.

"The boss said, if you affect this area, he'll kill you."

Flame visibly felt embarrassed, but still took two steps back, moving the battle line away from Ash.

"Then let's go!!" Roy clenched his fist.

DianDian immediately analyzed that Skyfire is a Fire/Dragon type, and its outstanding effects are only seen in Rock, Ground, and Dragon types.

Meanwhile, Fire and Grass types deal the least damage!

"In other words, Roy is the main force!" Fried reminded him.

Besides that, the three Water-type starter Pokémon can deal normal damage! Grass-types should stay away. Fire-types can provide support damage!

The three children made a decision immediately.

"Go, Crocodile with Bone Pattern and Spine Dragon!" Roy's two, Crocodile with Bone Pattern and Spine Dragon with Fearless Fire, are the best possible combination.

"Carnival Dance Duck, Blazing Ace!" Dot Dot takes over and throws the ball.

"Blazing Roaring Tiger, Thousand-Faced Avoid!" Rico finished off the challenge.

Three people and six Pokémon slowly surrounded Flareon. Ash Ketchum said, "There's no difference between three against one and six against one."

If conditions permit, an 18-on-1 ratio is not impossible.

The reason they didn't use other Pokémon was mainly to avoid being one-shotted by Flareon, not because the three little ones felt bad about it.

"I'll go first, cover me!" Roy roared, "Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, Earth Power!"

"Whoa!!" The Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile roared and attacked, lunging at its opponent like a prehistoric crocodile.

"Carnival Wave Ducks, Water Cannon Suppression!" Dots joined in: "Flash Ace, Hot Sand Earth!"

"Cut!"

"Ace!"

The Water Cannon of the Carnival Wave Duck and the Hot Sand Ball of the Blazing Ace pressed down on the Skybreaker from the left and right, respectively, with the aim of forcing the Skybreaker to move and not giving it any room to dodge.

"Thousand-Faced Avoid, Sniper! Blazing Roaring Tiger, Threaten Me!" Riko is becoming more and more mature.

Blazing Roaring Tiger raised its middle finger in a threatening gesture, then reduced the attack power of Sky Piercing Flame before immediately switching to Tebrimon.

"Tibrim, postpone it!!"

A dark light suppressed the Void-Piercing Flame, forcing it to make the final move!

Boom!! Cracks spread from beneath the feet of the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, followed by a burst of earthy yellow light as the power of the earth surged and struck its target.

Immediately, water cannons and scorching sands crashed down, and then, Thousand Faces Evasion struck unexpectedly, blowing someone's head off with a single shot. The water bullet hit the center of Blazing Flame's forehead.

"Hiss~ So dirty... Such an exaggerated coordination..." Teacher Bai Leiya couldn't help but gasp.

In a single glance, Po Kong Yan went from a gleaming divine beast to a drenched mess...

"Be careful, this guy's about to get angry," Ash said calmly. Pikachu leisurely took out a tomato juice.

"Now, the main event begins!"

To be continued...
