Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 940 Academy Champion

The town hall entrance is the town's most standard Pokémon battleground.

Fried and his friends were forced to work at the festival, and Ash brought Riko and the other students from Blueberry Academy to this place.

"The exchange competition requires both Ms. White-Eye and Mr. Ash to be present at the same time, so stop fooling around, Wu Li." The girl in the pink trench coat whispered a warning.

"It's alright, I'm the champion of the Academy League, I'll take care of things here." With a wave of his hand, Uriel looked at Ash with interest.

"I've seen your World Championship record, you are indeed very strong. However, times have changed... Ash Ketchum."

"You brat!" Roy got furious as soon as he heard that, jumped up and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Ash.

"Teacher?!" Roy looked at Ash in confusion.

"Don't rush me~" Ash said calmly, "It's normal for young people to be a little arrogant, and besides... your teacher isn't old enough to need you to step up."

“Teacher Xiaozhi, Wuli is indeed the youngest genius in Blueberry Academy. Please show him mercy.” Behind Wuli, a white-haired student wearing a black short jacket and purple trousers stepped forward and spoke calmly.

Compared to the sharp-tongued Wu Li, this kid has more of a general's demeanor.

"You are..." Xiao Zhi asked curiously.

“My name is Du Ruo. My grandfather, Xia Ka, often mentions your legend.” Du Ruo bowed slightly respectfully.

“Yes, my dad said that Mr. Ash is a legendary trainer…” Purple Taro with long pink hair chimed in.

"By the way, my father is a mine owner, and everyone calls him Boss Ju."

"What follows is Wu Li's private matter, please do not involve the academies," the well-behaved, dark-skinned girl with glasses added.

"She is the distant cousin of Lianwu, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the United Alliance, and also one of the Blueberry Four Heavenly Kings." Dian Dian had quietly investigated all the information about her opponent.

"Oh my! Ash Ketchum, I'm Akamatsu! I love cooking and battling. Although this isn't appropriate, I'd love to have a fiery battle with you!" The boy, wearing a white chef's robe with red stripes and sporting fiery, tousled hair, excitedly introduced himself.

"He's the youngest of the Blueberry Elite Four, and also a trainer with absolutely no family background. A pure talent type," Dotdot added.

"Young man, I have high hopes for you. Show me your skills when you have the chance." Xiao Zhi nodded with a smile.

"Oh! I'm fired up!!" Akamatsu clenched his fist, which made Ash smile knowingly.

It's impossible not to like this kind of passionate young person!

"Tch..." Wu Li twitched her eyes impatiently and took another step forward: "Let's get back to the point, today is my day!"

"Alright, Uriage, as you probably know, the blue mask you have is what I need. So, what do you want? Tell me," Ash asked casually, arms crossed.

"I want to have a full 6v6 battle with you." Uriage pointed at Ash and continued, "Don't try to fool me with the new Pokémon bred by Padia. I want to fight those veterans who have appeared in the World Championships."

"Does this child have some masochistic tendencies?" Nemo asked Pipa incredulously.

“Perhaps it’s the dignity of a champion,” Piper shrugged.

"Heh... I'm also a champion-level player, I wouldn't do something so reckless..." Nemo pursed her lips.

Just look at the Lycanroc and Goodra that trained with Ash to see how strong his old team was.

It's simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

"Are you sure?" Xiao Zhi looked at the little boy opposite him, both amused and exasperated.

“I’m sure!” Wu Li raised his head. “I’m going to beat your strongest lineup. As long as you promise me, I’ll give you this mask no matter who wins or loses!”

"Fine, since you insist." Xiao Zhi spread his hands and beckoned.

"Okay, I'll give you ten minutes to prepare." After tossing the mask to the nearby Evil Phantom, Uriel sat cross-legged and began waiting for Ash to change his Pokémon.

Fortunately, Uri only wanted to compete against World Championship level opponents, not the entire World Championship team, otherwise Ash would have really considered calling an ambulance for him.

Even so, after the Poké Ball was transferred over, Ash placed Pikachu on the tray and looked at the following: Pikachu, Charizard, Dragonite, Lucario, Greninja, and Sceptile.

Ash's lips twitched again: "I can't let him get killed... I probably can't... He's the champion, after all..."

"Are you done yet?" On the other side of the field, Wu Li sprang to his feet, his eyes gleaming.

"Hmm... all done." Xiao Zhi nodded helplessly.

"Don't be afraid, I'll give you face." Uriel smiled slightly when he saw Ash's hesitation.

"Ahem... No need." Ash was speechless, then turned to the three little ones and instructed them, "Watch and learn carefully, I estimate... it will be a bit fast."

"Okay, teacher!" The three little ones nodded obediently.

"I'm actually looking forward to seeing Ash's top player!" Nemo said with a look of glee, eager for a good show.

“I made some sandwiches, everyone can eat together.” Pipa even brought out some snacks.

"I also have some spicy braised dishes here, let's all eat together." Chishong enthusiastically joined in, and soon the two sides were all getting along well, standing in the audience's seats waiting to watch the show.

"Come on, Ash-sensei~ Let me see if the world is really that far away." Uri said with a face full of dissatisfaction.

He challenged Alice before, but was directly rejected. Even the academy champion has to follow the procedures.

He'd never even been in the top three in his region, so the gates of Champion's Castle wouldn't have opened for him...

Most importantly, Alice patted his head and coaxed him like a child, saying, "The world is vast, and even I am just following in the footsteps of legends."

A true genius, like Ash Ketchum, the former world champion and now semi-retired legendary trainer!

And so, the name Ash kept echoing in Wu Li's mind.

It wasn't until this exchange program that Wu Li, as the champion, immediately spotted the names of the other faculty members.

That's how this long-planned showdown came about!

"Sigh~" Ash sighed, rubbing his forehead. What a mess this is...

"Go for it!" Uri shouted, sending the Poké Ball flying into the air: "My champion, Dragonite!!"

"Roar!!" A large, fat dragon flapped its wings and roared in mid-air.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Dragonite." Ash didn't mind Uriel's little trick of going first and sent out Huggies as well.

"Awoo!" The adorable big guy gave Ash and Pikachu a bear hug, melting their hearts.

"Alright, alright, I know, we missed you too. Let's defeat that little guy over there first." Ash patted Hopkins' head and pointed at the Dragonite on the other side.

Don't let Huggies' gentle nature fool you; that's only towards family. Standing more than half a head taller than a normal Dragonite, and with the imposing aura it exudes after winning the World Championship, Huggies can make any Dragonite break out in a cold sweat simply by opening its arms.

What kind of pressure is this?!

Uri gritted her teeth, refusing to believe it: "Even Du Ruo's dragon can't beat me, what's there to be afraid of! Dragonite, Ice Punch!!"

"Roar!" The opposing Dragonite roared and suddenly started moving.

With a bang, a shockwave exploded behind them. Dragonite raised its right fist, its icy blue light shining like a star, and suddenly smashed it towards Rex.

Hug Dragon simply raised one hand.

*Snap!* The fiery dragon claw easily gripped the opponent's fist, and Hug Dragon tilted its head in confusion.

That's it?

To be continued...
