Pokémon: Newborn Ash Ketchum, starting from Hoenn

Royal Battle!

This is a traditional activity in the Alola region, but it was built in the Royal Dome, a battle venue. Especially when the mysterious Royal Masked Man suddenly appeared, this novel battle mode quickly became popular like wildfire.

In the Royal Battle, four Trainers, each representing a faction, engage in fierce melee in a unique 1v1v1v1v format.

Legend has it that the Royal Battle was inspired by the four guardian gods of the Alola region. They will also adopt a similar battle mode, and fierce competition will be used to determine the strongest guardian god.

This royal masked man is a man wearing a mask, and from his sturdy figure and muscle lines, it can be seen that he and the blazing roaring tiger beside him complement each other perfectly, as if they are natural partners.

"Who can stop the winning streak of this invincible duo?" The camera suddenly turned and focused on the opponents of Royal Masked Man and Blazing Roaring Tiger, namely Sea Lion, Sniper Tree Owl and Super Strength.

The three opponents each took a corner of the ring, ready to fight. Their eyes met, each filled with fighting spirit and determination. As the bell rang, this four-way melee was about to begin!

“Meow!”

At this moment, the Tomahawk beside Xiaozhi suddenly roared, and seemed to be very interested in this powerful Fiery Roaring Tiger, with his eyes full of fighting spirit and desire.

Soon, the bell of fierce battle rang, announcing the start of a fierce battle. Guai Li took the lead in attacking without hesitation, rushing straight towards the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

At the same time, Hiren and Owloo both targeted Tigerblade at the same time. It was obvious that the three trainers chose to join forces from the beginning of the battle.

Their strategy is very clear, which is to defeat the Royal Masked Man and the Blazing Roaring Tiger first!

"Strange Power, use Bullet Punch!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guai Li rushed to the Fiery Roaring Tiger and his fist hit the Fiery Roaring Tiger's broad chest as quickly and powerfully as a bullet. This bullet punch was extremely powerful.

However, surprisingly, although fighting skills are very effective against the Fire and Evil attributes of the Blazing Roaring Tiger, this punch did not seem to cause much damage to the Blazing Roaring Tiger. It actually stood firmly in place, not moving at all!

This result undoubtedly shows that the level of this Fiery Roaring Tiger is very high, and attribute restraint alone is not enough to make up for the gap between the two sides.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Kaili retreated hastily. At this time, the other two trainers launched an attack at the same time. Poseidon used Aria of Shadow and Owloo used Shadow Seam!

However, surprisingly, even in the face of such a fierce attack, the Blazing Roaring Tiger remained as steady as a rock and could not be shaken at all.

"The Fiery Roaring Tiger is so strong! Facing such an attack, it remains motionless!" The host couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this.

At this moment, the Royal Masked Man was finally about to make a move. His previous act of resisting the attack had already suppressed the momentum of the three opponents, and now was the best time for him to launch an attack.

"Burn, blazing roaring tiger!" the royal masked man shouted, "Use the flame of your victory to burn the venue to ashes!"

As he finished his words, the Z-crystal on his wrist suddenly shone with dazzling light, projecting a totem in the shape of a tiger.

Then, the whole body of the Royal Masked Man burst into a glow like burning flames, completely enveloping the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

"Evil Leap Crush!"

This move is the exclusive Z-move of Snarling Tiger, an enhanced version of DD Hook Arm. It uses Z-power to stimulate the potential in Snarling Tiger's body, making its body stronger, so that it can use its full strength to crash into the opponent to attack.

The flaming roaring tiger was burning with flames all over its body. It leaped up like a burning meteor across the sky and slammed directly into the monster on the opposite side.

However, the power of this move was far more than that. After hitting the monster, the Blazing Roaring Tiger did not stop, but landed on the ground, and then once again wrapped in blazing flames, with unparalleled ferocious momentum, it knocked the Western Lion Sea King and the Sniper Tree Owl away.

The flames gradually dissipated, and only the blazing roaring tiger was left standing proudly on the entire arena.

"The game is over!" The host's voice rang out throughout the venue, "The Blazing Roaring Tiger wins! The Royal Masked Man has finally achieved the feat of 20 consecutive wins!"

As the host announced, the scene erupted in thunderous cheers. The Royal Masked Man stood in the center of the ring, raised his arms high, and enjoyed the joy of victory.

"Dear trainer friends in front of the TV, tomorrow we will make a special arrangement for everyone to challenge me and Tigerblade!" At the end of the TV show, the Royal Masked Man did not forget to issue a challenge to the audience.

Hearing this, Xiaozhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was obviously very interested in this.

Dr. Barnett, standing aside, couldn't help but laugh, "Really handsome, the Royal Masked Man, he's my idol!"

Unfortunately, she has to go on a business trip tomorrow and won’t be able to go to the scene to see it tomorrow.

----------

The next morning, Xiaozhi arrived at the Royal Dome early. Not only that, he also asked Liliae and the others to join him.

The Royal Dome is located on Akala Island. After gathering with everyone, it was unexpected that Mamane was a big fan of the Royal Masked Man. She even put on the same mask and imitated the signature moves.

"Why does that guy keep wearing a mask?" Liliae suddenly asked curiously, "Is he really unwilling to show his true face?"

"Maybe he is a very shy person!" Mao guessed.

"I think it's more handsome when my true identity is unknown!" Shui Lian's eyes lit up, and she seemed to be particularly fascinated by this sense of mystery.

Just when everyone was discussing heatedly, the lights in the Royal Dome suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire arena, and everyone's attention was drawn over!

Standing on the stage were three figures that were extremely familiar to Xiaozhi—the trio of Team Rocket!

"Everyone gathered here, thank you for waiting!" Kojiro raised his hands excitedly and shouted, "Today is a special day at the Royal Dome!"

Musashi followed closely behind, shouting, "Royal Masked Man vs. Royal Battle Present!"

"There's no time to lose. Hurry up and call out his name, meow!" Meow Meow also spoke impatiently, "He's known as the Preacher of the Royal Battle!"

"Royal Masked Man!" x3

As the shouts fell, the Royal Masked Man rushed out of the entrance like lightning, and jumped onto the side pillar of the ring in a few steps. He stood firmly on the pillar, made a signature move, and shouted: "ENJOY!"

"ENJOY!" The audience also shouted along. For a moment, the whole venue was filled with deafening cheers and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

"Everyone, do you want to compete with me?" The royal masked man stood on the podium, looked at the audience, and issued an impassioned call.

This shout seemed to ignite the enthusiasm of the entire audience. They responded one after another, and the shouts continued one after another. The whole venue was shrouded in this warm atmosphere.

Amid the cheers of the audience, the Royal Masked Man shouted again: "Then next, let me introduce my partner to everyone, the hottest flame in Alola - Blazing Roaring Tiger! COME ON!"

Before he finished speaking, a mighty flaming roaring tiger rushed out from the backstage, let out a loud roar, and nimbly came to the royal masked man.

Seeing this, Xiaozhi couldn't help but nod to the strength of this Fiery Roaring Tiger. Its strength is indeed not low! At the same time, Xiaozhi finally learned the true identity of the Royal Masked Man. He didn't expect that he would hide so deeply.

"Here it comes, the brave and warlike Blazing Roaring Tiger!"

"The passionate soul of the Royal Masked Man is here!"

With Kojiro and Musashi's passionate opening remarks, the atmosphere was instantly ignited. The cheers and shouts of the audience resounded through the sky, and the entire venue was immersed in a frenzy.

At this moment, Meowth stood in the center of the stage and shouted at the top of his voice: "Dear trainers, if you want to compete with the Royal Masked Man, please raise your hands!"

Before he finished speaking, everyone at the scene raised their hands without hesitation. There was a burst of noise from the crowd, and everyone hoped to have a battle with the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

However, in this lively scene, Toracat, who had been staying quietly beside Xiaozhi, was now staring at Toracat on the ring with excitement in his eyes.

Finally, the Hot Cat could no longer suppress the impulse in its heart. It suddenly roared, leaped up like a flash of lightning, and rushed straight to the ring.

In the blink of an eye, it stepped onto the stage as if walking on flat ground and stood steadily in front of the Fiery Roaring Tiger.

Seeing this scene, Xiaozhi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He quickly stood up and walked quickly to the edge of the ring.

"I'm so sorry!" Xiaozhi said apologetically, "Pyro might have been a little too excited to see Blazing Roaring Tiger, so he acted like that."

Then he quickly called Flamecat back. After all, no matter how much he wanted to fight, he couldn't break other people's rules.

The Rocket trio were obviously surprised by Xiaozhi's appearance, but they quickly regained their professional attitude and continued to explain: "Wow, there was an unexpected incident! Tortoiseshell actually broke into the ring by himself!"

"What's wrong?" The Royal Masked Man didn't care about it. He just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile, and squatted in front of the Flaming Cat. "Flaming Cat, are you interested in fighting the Blazing Roaring Tiger?"

The Flaming Cat was originally just staring at the Blazing Roaring Tiger, but after hearing the words of the Royal Masked Man, it suddenly raised its head and its eyes fell on him. Suddenly, as if it smelled something special, its pupils began to tremble, as if it recognized the identity of the Royal Masked Man, and its face was full of shock!

"Of course, I've wanted to fight you for a long time!" Xiaozhi saw this scene and spoke up.

Inwardly, he silently added, "Doctor!"

The Royal Masked Man heard Xiaozhi's answer and understood the hidden meaning. However, he was not surprised because he knew that Xiaozhi could not hide this matter.

And he also believed that Xiaozhi would not tell anyone.

"It's my honor!" The royal masked man stood up with a smile, and then announced loudly, "Okay, get on stage! The first group of challengers are you!"

Since the Royal Battle requires four people, the Royal Masked Man took the opportunity to invite Xiaozhi's friends Kachi and Mamane to join him on the stage.

The first group of battles officially begins!

Blazing Roaring Tiger VS Scorching Cat VS Gala Gala VS Bug Power

"Well then, let me introduce the three Pokémon that will be challenging you!"

"Hard work, Hot Meow!"

"Handsome hero, gala gala!"

"Go ahead, Bug-Dan!"

"The cute little royal masked man is also going to challenge!"

After this was said, Mamane also smiled and scratched his head embarrassedly, "I will be nervous!"

"The live show will be by me, Moltres Kojiro! The commentary will be by Ankylos Musashi and Lightning Meowth!"

"Royal Battle is a form of Pokémon battle that has been passed down in Alola since ancient times, meow. Four Pokémon fight at the same time, and the Pokémon that wins at the end wins, meow!"

"Ah!!! I'm on fire!"

Under the passionate commentary of the Rockets trio, the bell rang and the battle finally officially began.

However, the battle had just begun for a short time when Galagala and Chongdianbao were defeated by the Fiery Roaring Tiger's signature DD Golden Hook Arm. They were just there to make up the numbers!

At this time, only the Scorching Cat and the Blazing Roaring Tiger were left on the field, facing each other from a distance, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"Charge Flame Attack!" Xiaozhi gave the order without hesitation.

The Fire Cat moved upon hearing the sound, and flames immediately ignited all over its body. Like a burning meteor, it rushed straight towards the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

Facing the fierce Tornado, the Royal Masked Man did not dare to be negligent. He immediately shouted loudly: "Use Bodybuilding!"

The Blazing Roaring Tiger roared, and its muscles tensed instantly. Flames flashed across its body, and its strength was greatly increased instantly. Then, the Royal Masked Man gave another order: "Then follow up with the Hell Thrust!"

Upon receiving the order, the Blazing Roaring Tiger glared ahead, quickly gathered evil energy in his hands, and then swung them forward violently, smashing towards the Flaming Cat with endless power.

"Thunder Fang!"

Xiaozhi's voice sounded, and Tortoiseshell quickly opened its mouth, revealing a lightning fang!

This lightning fang intertwined with the flames all over its body, instantly dyeing its body into a brilliant lightning light, turning it into a low-profile version of a thunder and fire charge.

In an instant, the two sides collided fiercely, making a loud noise. However, this fierce collision only lasted for a moment, and the Blazing Roaring Tiger suddenly raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a cunning smile.

Then, it exerted its strength suddenly and knocked the Tornado Cat away.
