The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

"I never imagined I'd become the first Alola League champion and a seven-time champion!"

"Well done, Ash," Professor Oak praised.

"That's wonderful, Ash!" Professor Barnet exclaimed.

"This final match made me feel romantic," Biko said emotionally.

In front of the television, officials from various government agencies in the Kanto region, including those responsible for culture and tourism, construction, and publicity, were all moved to tears.

That's amazing! With Ash as our walking advertisement, we in the Kanto region no longer have to worry about economic development. Every year, the revenue from tourism alone generates a huge amount of GDP.

The mayor of Pallet Town practically worships Ash. Ever since Ash won various tournament championships, Pallet Town has become a must-visit destination for tourists all over the world and has long been known as the hometown of a celebrity.

The principals of Indigo Academy, Blueberry Academy, and Alola Pokémon School—the three principals—could all be said to be extremely grateful to Ash.

Whether it's the chair Ash once sat in, the chalk he once used, or the homework he once graded, etc.

All of them have been protected as cultural relics and are open to the public for viewing.

The admissions officers of these three schools and the education bureau chiefs of these three regions all regarded Xiaozhi as a god of wealth.

After all, Ash's popularity has ensured that they haven't had to worry about student recruitment for several years. Instead, they are troubled by the sheer number of applicants and how to choose the best ones.

These three schools have even started planning to erect a statue of Ash in his honor on the school playground.

In the venue.

After leaving through the player tunnel, Ash reunited with his friends who were already waiting there.

Everyone congratulated Ash on winning the championship. Ash generously took his friends out for a meal and announced that all the expenses for the night would be paid by Ash.

The restaurant owner was overjoyed. Even the champion came to eat here, which is a huge boost to their reputation. He immediately gave Ash and his friends a free meal.

After dinner, that evening, at the Manaro Arena,

The 16 contestants who participated in the elimination rounds, along with the Four Heavenly Kings, the Island King, the referees, and the audience, all gathered at the battlefield.

Because the awards ceremony for the Alola League Manalo Conference is about to be held here.

When the time was up, the host, Shi Kuang, began to speak.

"The intense battles of the Alola League Manaro Conference have continued. Now, let's begin the awards ceremony."

Before the eyes of all the participants in the final tournament, our Royal Masked Manara will present the championship trophy to Ash, the champion of the original Alola League Manara Conference.

Ash was already standing on the awards stage. The masked royal figure was now Professor Kukui, who walked up to the stage with the golden championship trophy and presented it to Ash.

"Congratulations, Ash Ketchum."

"Thank you, Royal Masked Man. I will definitely carry on the legacy of the first Alola League Tournament Champion."

After saying that, Ash bowed to the masked royal and then accepted the championship trophy with both hands.

Then he excitedly handed the championship trophy to Pikachu and Eevee, who were perched on his shoulders.

"Look, Pikachu, Eevee, this is our seventh championship trophy!"

"Pikachu!"

"Buy, buey!"

Pikachu was already used to it and didn't react much, but Eevee, experiencing an award ceremony for the first time, was extremely excited.

"I'm also really looking forward to our exhibition match tomorrow," Ash said with a smile.

“I’m also very much looking forward to it,” Dr. Kukui said.

Congratulations, Ash!!!

"So cool, Satoshi," Hanako said.

Below the stage, cheers rose and fell, and Ash held the championship trophy in one hand and waved it at the crowd with the other.

"thank you all."

Dr. Kukui then delivered the closing remarks, and finally, the host, Shi Kuang, concluded the event.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes the entire schedule of the Alola League Manaro Conference."

Tomorrow, there will be an exhibition match between Ash Ketchum, the first champion of the tournament, and the Royal Masked Man. It will be a full-scale 6 vs 6 battle, so please look forward to it!

Let's give another round of applause to Ash Ketchum, who won the championship, and to all the players who have given us amazing battles on this battlefield!

As soon as Shi Kuang finished speaking, the award ceremony came to a close amidst cheers from the crowd.

Just as everyone was about to leave and go back to the athletes' village to rest and sleep, a phone call came into Xiaozhi's phone.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from a handsome guy. As soon as he answered, Xiao Zhi heard the handsome guy's extremely anxious voice.

"Oh no, Couch, Couch is a senior now."

"Handsome sir, why do you still have that accent? I won the championship today, is there something bad?"

"Sorry, habits die hard. Congratulations on winning the championship, Ash."

But there's something even more incredible: by sheer coincidence, another Ultra Beast appeared in the sea near Aether Paradise.

"Damn it, how did everything happen all at once? What kind of Ultra Beast is it?"

"That's the tenth and final Ultra Beast we've discovered so far, called Guzzlord."

"They say that guy will even devour mountains; he has a terrifying appetite," the handsome man said.

"So it's just a mere Guzzlord. It's the worst of all the Ultra Beasts. Leave it to me."

"Then please."

After hanging up the phone, Ash told everyone about Guzzlord's appearance and then had someone arrange for a plane to depart.

“I’ll go with you, Ash,” Professor Kukui offered.

"Alright, then I'll go with the royal masked man."

"The rest of you stay here to maintain order. We'll take care of that mere Guzzlord in no time. Don't worry, tomorrow's exhibition match will proceed as scheduled. We'll be right back," Ash said.

A few minutes later, Ash and Professor Kukui, the masked royal, left Mount Lanakira by helicopter and flew to Aether Paradise.

Fortunately, the artificial island was sealed off after the Ether Foundation was destroyed, so there are not many people around and there is no need to worry about casualties or property damage.

But shortly after Ash and Professor Kukui left, Ash received a call from Beeko.

"This is bad, Director, we've detected another reaction to the Ultimate Void."

"What did you say? Where are the coordinates?"

"Apart from the ultimate hole in the Ether Paradise that you went to deal with."

Two Ultimate Caverns also appeared, one near Bonney Gardens on Bonney Island.

The other one is near the Manaro Arena, no, directly above the arena.
