The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

"His physical strength has reached its limit, but it has brought out the last bit of Infernape's strength." Xiaogang said.

"From a physical point of view, it's also a race against time. The winner must be decided in one breath." Xiao Guang said.

"Very good, come on, Infernape, use your flamethrower."

"Electric Beast, be careful, that guy's power has been upgraded to be even stronger than before, use Thunder."

The jet of flame at this time was no longer comparable to the thunder. The electric monster used all its strength to use thunder to barely block an ordinary jet of flame.

"The next strike will decide the outcome. Go ahead, Infernape, use Flash Charge."

"The next attack will determine the winner. Shock the monster and use the lightning fist."

"Enough!"

"Eric!"

Flamemonkey's body is wrapped in blue flames, and it performs a Flame Charge.

The Electric Beast uses Thunder Beast with both hands at the same time, and golden lightning flashes on both of its hands.

The two Pokémon roared at each other, each using all their strength, colliding with each other, vowing to defeat the other.

Boom!

There was an earth-shattering explosion, and smoke spread out with the two Pokémon as the core.

When the smoke cleared, Infernape was still standing intact on the battlefield, staring at the Electric Beast lying on the ground, fearing that it was not dead yet and could get up and continue fighting.

"Electabuzz has lost his ability to fight, and Infernape has won, so the winner is Ash from Pallet Town."

"Well done, Infernape, we won, we beat Shinji and made it to the finals."

"Enough!"

"Pikachu!"

"Yeah, it worked, Xiaozhi won." Xiaoguang stood up excitedly and said.

"Even I'm super excited. No matter which side you are on, they are all awesome. You guys are so cool." Ah Xun said.

"Finally we won, Xiaozhi." Xiaogang said with relief.

"The winner has been decided. The winner of this fierce all-out battle is Xiaozhi!

It was amazing! Xiaozhi didn't lose any of his Pokémon and defeated Shinji with an overwhelming advantage of 6:0, advancing to the finals tomorrow.

At this point, all the semi-final matches are over.

Tomorrow will be the finals of the Sinnoh League Lily of the Valley Tournament.

In tomorrow's finals, Ash from Pallet Town will face off against Darko to determine the champion of the Sinnoh League Lily of the Valley Tournament.

Dear audience, let us give our warmest applause to Xiaozhi who advanced to the next round, and to Shinji who was eliminated in the semi-finals but still won with honor."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the deafening applause, screams, and shouts almost overturned the entire venue.

The enthusiastic fans shouted loudly,

"Ash! Ash! Ash!"

Shinji also walked over and squatted down, took out the Poké Ball and took back the Electric Beast, and said,

"Come back, Electric Beast, this is going to be a good fight."

On the other side, in Veil City, at Shinji's house.

Seeing this result, Lei Si turned off the TV, got up and went to the yard, and said to the Pokémon that Shinji had captured and left there,

"That boy lost."

Hearing this, all the Pokémon looked dejected.

"But this battle made Shinji stronger. When Shinji comes back, we'll have another long-awaited battle." Lei Si said with a smile.

Hearing this, all the Pokémon cheered again, and it was obvious that they really liked Shinji.

Lily of the Valley Island, that evening.

As soon as Xiaoguang and Xiaogang walked out of the Pokémon Center, Ajun hurried over and asked,

"Xiao Guang, Xiao Gang, have you seen Xiao Zhi?"

"No, we are looking for him too."

"Really? Where on earth did he go? It's rare that I want to tell him that this is a good game. He must be fined."

At this time, Sister Zhulan came over and said,

"Oh, that's really pitiful. If you want to find Xiaozhi, he just ran away. I think he probably went after Shinji."

"Hey, aren't you the champion Miss Zhulan?" Ah Xun said in surprise.

"All life encounters other life and something comes out of it.

After watching this excellent match today, I think something has indeed been created between the two of them, and that is - a bond.

Shinji and Xiaozhi, they will win the Champions League one day, I will look forward to that day." Zhulan said.

"Asashi and Shinji, two people with different philosophies at the beginning, ended up identifying with each other and thus formed a bond," said Baka.

"For two people like that, today's battle is the best." Ah Xun said.

At the Suzuran Island Pier, Xiaozhi finally managed to catch up with Shinji before he boarded the ship.

"Shinji!" Xiaozhi shouted.

"Oh."

Shinji stopped when he saw that it was Xiaozhi who came.

"Shinji, are you leaving now?"

"Well, I lost the game, and there's no point in staying here any longer.

I plan to go to Xuefeng City and once again ask Mr. Kamishiro to fight me."

"I see. Keep working on it."

"Yeah, Xiaozhi, you too, bye."

After saying that, Shinji turned around and walked towards the boat.

"Shinji, let's fight together next time we meet." Xiaozhi shouted.

Hearing this, Shinji was startled at first, then smiled dotingly, nodded with his back to Xiaozhi, and waved goodbye.

Just like that, the battle with the strongest rival Shinji ended, and the defeated Shinji continued his journey in search of greater challenges.

Xiaozhi returned to the Pokémon Center on Lily of the Valley Island and reunited with Xiaogang, Xiaoguang, and Ajin.

After having dinner together in the evening, Xiaozhi contacted Professor Oak.

"Professor Oak, I have received Charizard and Lizard King."

"Well, I'll take care of the Possum and Selvamon that fought today. You don't have to worry about them. But what are you going to do with the last Pokémon?"

"No problem, I'm waiting now."

At this time, Xiaoguang ran over excitedly and said,

"Xiaozhi, here I come, here I come."

Xiaozhi quickly said goodbye to Professor Oak, cut off the connection, and ran excitedly outside the Pokémon Center.

Xiaogang is waiting outside.

"Xiaozhi, look, it's coming." Xiaogang said, pointing to the sky.

Under the moonlight, in the sky, a figure was flying towards the crowd, becoming bigger and bigger.

"You're finally here, Latias." Xiaozhi said with a smile.

That's right, this figure was none other than Manon, who was far away in Oddo Mare, whom Xiaozhi had specially called to ask her to ask Latias to come over and help.

As soon as Latias heard that it was about Xiaozhi, he flew over immediately without Manon saying anything.

Along with it came a Latias Mega Evolution Stone.
