The unruly Charizard simply refused to obey Ash's orders and was directly judged to have lost his fighting spirit.
This allowed Ritchie to narrowly beat Ash and advance to the quarterfinals of the Indigo Plateau Conference.
What is even more regrettable is that in the next round of battle.
In the quarter-finals, he and another powerful female Trainer named Lily fought to the last Pokémon.
As a result, his Pikachu named Ryan was defeated by Lily's Ivysaur and missed the semi-finals.
Ritchie likes to name his Pokémon after himself.
For example, the Pikachu he carries is called Ryan, Charmander is called Jibo, and Butterfree is called Bobby.
Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that Ash's other Pokémon had consumed too much of their energy.
And there is not enough time to replace other Pokémon such as Tauros, Kingler and Muk.
As a result, he was unable to display his true strength in the battle against Ritchie.
Otherwise, Ash would have absolutely no problem in this battle.
Ritchie is obviously inferior to Ash in terms of both the quality and strength of Pokémon.
Even in the match where Ritchie advanced from the quarterfinals to the semifinals against Lily.
The female Trainer, Lily, and Ritchie also fought to the last Pokémon.
This shows that the strength of both sides is equal.
So, if the original Ash had not been drained of his energy by Team Rocket and had fought normally all the way to the next round.
Maybe he would at least make it to the top four in his first Pokémon Conference.
Compared to the results of the later Sinnoh Region's Lily of the Valley Conference, it was several years ahead.
But unfortunately, there is no if in all this.
"So, that Ritchie should have arrived earlier than me, because he looks a bit like me, so..."
Ash stroked his chin: "Is it Gary and Paul who were waiting for me to come here who recognized me as a mistake?"
Well, the possibility of this is not normal.
When you think about the look in the two people's eyes when they left, you can probably understand a little bit.
No wonder the two people left quickly after meeting me.
If Ash knew that they had mistaken each other for someone else...
That would be really ridiculous.
"You're still a child after all."
After Ash figured it out, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"Let's go, let's stay in the athletes' village first."
The magical 02 baby Alliance Conference in this world is just like those Olympic Games in the previous life.
They all have a main venue and an athlete village.
Players who get eight badges and can participate in the Alliance Conference are eligible for free accommodation.
And after Ash submitted his Badge information, he was happily given a super luxurious triple room suite.
Well, on the one hand, in addition to the eight gym badges he owns, he also has a badge for the certification exam.
This is basically equivalent to two contestants' places.
On the other side are Brock and Misty, both of whom are from the Bi Gym and Cerulean Gym.
The former once served as a gym trainer at the Nibe Gym, and both can be said to be direct descendants of the Alliance.
Therefore, it is completely fine for three people to have a large suite.
After a short rest, the trio went out for a stroll on the streets.
By the way, I also went to the Alliance venue center to report my participation information.
"Good afternoon, please show me your Trainer login credentials, which is the map...
The lady at the Alliance center platform smiled kindly, and then~
"Your sweet smile has been recorded in my heart!"
The squinty-eyed dark-skinned boy Xiaogang immediately rushed forward:
"What time do you get off work..."
"Hey~!!"
The dark purple Poison Jab emerged from the shadows and hit him right in the waist.
"Mama mama mama… I'm paralyzed again."
Xiaogang fell to the ground twitching all over, and was dragged away by Gengar again.
"It's troublesome."
Ash pretended not to see it and looked into his Pokédex.
"You are Ash from Pallet Town..."
The young lady at the Alliance center also pretended not to see anything.
They are used to big scenes, so this aspect is nothing new to them.
"Okay, the competition information has been logged in."
After typing it into the computer, all the information has been checked.
The eight badges were also scanned and confirmed to be correct.
Then, all we have to do is wait for the official start of the competition.
"Excuse me, could you please tell me how many Trainers are participating in this year's Alliance Conference?"
Ash took the Pokédex and asked a question.
"As for the number of people, based on the information sent over by the various gyms, there should be around 200 people.
The young lady answered while looking up the information.
More than two hundred people... In the end, the number should be two hundred and fifty-six.
Then, after rounds of competition, you will advance to the next level.
In other words, if you want to win the final victory, you need to play eight rounds.
After walking out of the Pokémon Alliance Center, Ash also bought an introduction to this quartz layer.
It records in detail the process and rules of this conference.
"The first thing to be held is the opening ceremony of the Olympic flame...?"
On the night before the conference officially begins, more than 200 trainers will gather together.
Watch the torch lighting ceremony, and then the president of this conference, President Damaranchi, will give a speech.
"The whole scene was quite lively and spectacular..."
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was time and time for the opening ceremony.
Ash walked in the team of more than 200 people and was one of them.
When he walked from the passage into the main sports stadium, he could hear the audience cheering loudly.
As trainers who received this honor and stage, they were all moved and proud.
Gary was in a corner, pretending to be confident and mature, holding his head high and posing.
Of course, not everyone will be affected.
For example, Paul, still standing there expressionless and calm among the crowd.
Among these people, Ash also saw a Trainer named Ritchie who was also carrying a Pikachu like himself.
It was visibly that he was quite nervous.
Even Pikachu, whose bangs were a little long and let down on the shoulders, couldn't help but swallow.
"This is the stage where we will fight..."
Ash touched the Pikachu on his shoulder.
He did not feel nervous or excited at all, but instead had a wonderful sense of participation.
Finally, he could stand here in person and participate in a real Pokémon battle at a conference!!
"Pika~Pika!"
As if sensing Ash's strange state of mind, Pikachu rubbed its face against Ash's palm.
"These people are also our next Rival..."
Among these people, Ash also saw many familiar faces.
There is the Trainer Saizo who was abandoned by his Marowak on the road, and now Marowak is still standing by his side.
The two sides should have reconciled and the latter accepted him again.
There was also Lily who eliminated Ritchie and advanced to the semi-finals, and Yoshiki who ended Gary's journey in this conference...
So many outstanding trainers gathered here to participate in this year's Indigo Plateau Conference.
"Although you have worked hard to get to where you are now, unfortunately..."
Ash smiled slowly: "This year's champion will only be me.
"Pika~Pika!!"
Whoosh~Bang!!
The gorgeous fireworks rose high into the sky, bursting into brilliant and dazzling colors.
In this hot opening ceremony, countless people were cheering.
Even the many viewers in front of the TV were watching this broadcast.
The annual Pokémon Alliance Conference is the best entertainment event for many audiences.
Kanto Region的Indigo Plateau Conference,Johto Region Region的Silver Conference,Hoenn Region的Evergrande Conference,Sinnoh Region的Lily of the Valley Conference,Unova Region的Vertress Conference,Kalos Region的Lumiose Conference等.
The times of these conferences are staggered, so that audiences from all regions can feast their eyes.
Almost every once in a while, you can see an exciting Alliance Conference game.
During this period, there are also many non-Alliance Conference official events such as the Pokémon Fighting P1 Competition and the Orange Alliance Winners Cup.
It also attracted the attention of many people.
Standing out at such a conference is the best proof for a trainer.
"This year's champion must be me!!"
Under the dazzling fireworks, the voices of more than 200 Trainers present were reflected.
Those fiery eyes and determined looks were all expressing the same idea.
Kanto Region Pokémon Alliance Conference, Indigo Plateau Conference, officially opens!!
The opening ceremony of the Alliance was held safely.
Before the Indigo Plateau Conference started, Ash had already visited many of the surrounding shops and street vendors.
He didn't see the Rocket trio.
Logically speaking, they should definitely not miss such a good business opportunity.
But they still haven't come, which means...
"They should be on the road to becoming a scientific research unit, and they seem to be very effective..."
Well, otherwise, they would have caused trouble here a long time ago.
Just like in the original story, they were clamoring to snatch the sacred flame away.
Sell them to collectors who love to collect Moltres and make a lot of money.
And they really did what they said and actually did it.
I don't know where they got the courage to disturb the Pokémon Alliance Conference.
Now, they didn't jump out to cause trouble at the opening ceremony.
The whole process went exceptionally smoothly.
It seems that Giovanni had held them down in advance to prevent them from doing anything wrong.
Giovanni: You are right. I don't know where they got the courage from. I was shocked when I heard it for the first time. I can only pin them down here and tell them not to cause trouble!!
Ash estimated that if James didn't have the support of a noble family and Jessie was the descendant of a veteran contributor to the Rockets, she would be in trouble.
Giovanni doesn't even need the official Pokémon Alliance to take action, he already wants to crush them to death.
That's pretty much the background of their trio, and their well-known stupid brains.
Only after doing such a big and reckless thing can one still be alive and well and still jump around the world.
Fortunately, this year's Indigo Plateau Conference's opening ceremony.
There was no trouble, so everything is fine.
In this way, Ash slowly prepared, and then on the next day, he faced his first Alliance Conference match in his life.
"Before the actual battle, the first thing to decide is the battle venue."
"The Indigo Plateau Conference of the Pokémon Alliance has four venues: Rock, Water, Ice, and Grass."
"The first four rounds of competition were held in these four venues in sequence after the draw."
"After winning all four venues, starting from the fifth round, we moved to the main stadium..."
Ash was flipping through the Trainer Manual in his hand, which was published by the Pokémon Alliance and was a must-have for Trainer players.
There are detailed records about the progress of the game.
The draw took place this morning, and Ash arrived at the familiar Alliance Center platform.
Under the young lady's smile, I pressed the button and selected the battle venue for today.
Ding~!
Finally, the cursor stayed on the water field plate.
"Is it still the same as before?"
Ash looked at the computer information panel, "Then my opponent Trainer player..."
The fighting figure matched in the picture is another familiar face.
"Sure enough, it's still this guy."
Wearing a red headscarf, green split hair, a pink coat, and a fancy outfit
"Magician, is it Jiang Ge Le's Duo Wu?"
He happened to be Ash's first Rival in the Indigo Plateau Conference.
In the original story, he performed magic on the roadside before the game.
He also arrogantly rejected the interview with the Rockets, which made them angry and embarrassed.
He specifically invaded the broadcasting room to cheer for Ash.
He can be said to be a 273cm, greasy-haired, flashy competitor.
"But overall, the quality of the Pokémon in my hand is pretty good~~
Exeggutor, the final evolution of Psychic Type and Grass Type.
Seadra, the evolved form of Horsea, Golbat, the evolved form of Zubat.
It can be said that the Pokémon sent out are at least in the second stage of evolution.
Moreover, they all have different attributes, and the tactics and strategies of the battle are well considered.
If I were playing against other Trainers, I might be able to make a difference.
But unfortunately, he was facing Ash.
"Ash, do we need to gather some information about Rival?"
After leaving the Alliance Center, Misty did not forget to offer suggestions.
"No, just deal with it normally."
"But as for the water-playing area, I think you should listen to my advice..."
Misty was really thinking about Ash: "Maybe I can help you with some ideas and help..."
Suddenly, Ash paused.
Xiaogang and Misty also stopped behind.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, the two of them immediately asked with some concern.
"..."
Ash turned around with a smile and looked at the two companions who had always been following him.
"Misty, Xiaogang..."
He whispered, "Thank you."
"Hey, why did you suddenly think of saying this?!"
Misty was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said something cheesy and pretended to be disgusted.
Although she said that she was disgusted, her eyelashes were curved and the mermaid was full of smiles.
"That's right, you just need to play the game and fight well!!"
Xiao Gang also raised his arms and encouraged: "Your victory is the best thank you to us!!"
"We will all be behind you, cheering you on!!"
"Pika~Pika!!"
"Hey~!!"
Even the Pikachu on his shoulder and the Gengar in the shadows under his feet were nodding their heads.
"I see..."
Ash chuckled, "I'll try my best."
"That's it!!"
"But Ash, do you plan on sending out any Pokémon?"
"Pokémon, because Pikachu is my first companion, it must be on the field, and this is a water field, I plan to send Wartortle and...
Bilibili!
Ash was talking when suddenly, the Rotom Pokédex in his arms started to ring.
"And this."
He picked up the Pokédex and waved it at the two of them.
On it, is the exchange message from Professor Oak!
At the nearby Pokémon Alliance center.
"So, your Krabby can't wait any longer and is horny as hell!"
Professor Oak's smiling face appeared on the communication line:
"It has always been looking forward to fighting alongside you, Ash!!"
"Gugugugu!!!"
