Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Dawn and Pachirisu were in excellent form, and Kengo had developed a slight fear of Electric-type Pokémon. Given this disparity, even on the final stage, the battles were somewhat one-sided.

"Patchlitz, use Discharge!"

"?! Prince Bo, use...use..."

Once again, Kengo hesitated. With time running out and facing Patchlitz's final desperate attempt, Kengo, who had been thinking of changing his dodging strategy and letting Prince Bo launch a counterattack, suddenly froze.

What skill should I use?

A pecking motion? A bubble of light? Or...?

Countless thoughts flashed through Kengo's mind, but all of them ultimately fell to Ash's Pikachu's terrifying high-voltage electric shock.

Kengoku could no longer find a way to defeat Electric-type Pokémon using Prince.

"Wave--"

A flash of azure lightning streaked across Prince Bo's body. Kengo's hesitant mindset directly affected Prince Bo, and when faced with the most important blow, Prince Bo didn't even put up a fight before collapsing under the lightning.

"Ding--"

The match time was up, and Prince Bo finally lost his ability to fight. Kengo's score on the big screen was also reset to zero with Patchlitz's final electric attack. In the end, Hikaru won the Garden Tournament held in Garden Town without any pressure.

"I...won?"

The moment he received the ribbon medal, the moment the applause from the audience rang out, the moment Pachilis excitedly rubbed his cheeks, Hikaru suddenly felt a real sense of having won the game.

"I've obtained the Garden Ribbon Medal, no problem!"

“Pa~”

With Hikari's excited shouts, the Garden Tournament came to an end. Just as Ash and Brock were about to leave, Ash suddenly noticed that Kengo on the stage seemed to be staring at him, but Ash did not understand the meaning behind Kengo's gaze.

.......

As dusk fell, Hikari, who had changed back into her usual clothes, held her ribbon medal and looked very happy, carefully wiping its surface every few seconds.

Seeing this, Ash and Brock both expressed their understanding, after all, anyone with a dream will always have such moments on their journey.

"I lost this time, but I will win next time."

Compared to Hikaru, Kengo was naturally not as happy.

He not only lost to Ash, but also to Dawn. These two days can be described as the darkest two days of his trip.

"Hmph~ I'll definitely win next time we fight!"

"Poga!"

Even though it was Patchlitz, not Bogarman, who won the match against Kengo today, Bogarman jumped out first when Kengo declared war, proudly agreeing with him.

"..."

Seeing Xiaoguang's expression, Kengo ultimately remained silent, simply walking slowly away in a certain direction. Just as he was leaving, or rather, as he passed Ash, he paused, glanced at Ash, and whispered, "You too, once my Prince Charming evolves into Empoleon, I will definitely beat you! Whether it's Pokémon battles, or..."

"?"

Ash originally wanted to say something to Kenjiro's declaration of war, but Kenjiro stopped halfway through his sentence. However, judging from Kenjiro's back, he probably wasn't in a good mood.

"Did Kengo just say something to you?"

"nothing....."

Ash shook his head, not taking Kenji's words to heart.

After all, everyone here is a Pokémon trainer, so it's normal to have an extreme desire to win, right? When he lost to Shinji before, all he could think about was how to beat Shinji.

Neither Ash nor Dawn noticed Ken's attitude. Only Brock, who had secretly stood next to Ash a moment before and overheard Ken's words, knew everything.

This is really... is this some kind of teen romance drama...?

Xiao Gang sighed. Perhaps this is what youth is like? But for Xiao Zhi and Xiao Guang, who are focused on Pokémon, youth seems to be just a synonym for dreams. I wonder how long it will take for them to understand the meaning behind today's scene?

As Xiaogang watched Ash and Dawn walk side by side toward the Pokémon Center, he couldn't help but shrug with a sigh, as if he were a senior on the path of life.

only--

When will my spring finally come...?

Xiao Gang looked up at the setting sun, feeling as if he were witnessing the sunset of his own love, filled with immense sorrow.

......

Nighttime, in front of the telephone on the first floor of the Pokémon Center.

"Hmm, I see... Can it use the Dragon Dance Baby Dragon? That's not very common."

Professor Oak was eating ramen while talking to Ash on the other end of the phone. Baby Dragon was standing in front of the phone, staring intently at Professor Oak's bowl of bright red broth, looking quite interested.

"I never expected to receive such a gift just for helping Mr. Terutomo with a small favor," Ash said, stroking the Bellatrix's head. "But now I'll have six Pokémon. I'll definitely need to train the ones I caught in the Sinnoh region first, so..."

"I know, I know, you want to send Snorlax back, right?" Professor Oak flicked his chopsticks, having already guessed Ash's thoughts before he even spoke. "Of course, there's nothing wrong with your idea, and I can understand it~ But Ash, don't think I'm meddling. Even if you want to start from scratch in a new region with a completely new look, you should still visit your old friends as much as possible when conditions allow. They have a very deep affection for you."

Professor Oak put down his chopsticks, crossed his arms, and began to lecture: "Take Snorlax, for example. It was sleeping at the time, but as soon as it heard me mention that you needed help, it immediately woke up... There are many other Pokémon that hope you can take them away every day, especially Bayleaf. It overheard what I said when I called Snorlax, and it kept bothering me. It took me a lot of effort to calm it down..."

Professor Oak finished speaking and rubbed his shoulders, complaining. Ash could only smile helplessly when he heard this.

“I will consider it, and this time I really don’t plan to challenge the Sinnoh League entirely with my newly captured companions. I will find an opportunity to take them over.”

"Okay, then I'm relieved~ Let's hurry up and send Snorlax back and catch Beast Dragon, or my noodles will get soggy."

......

P.S.: If any of the veteran players were to return, who would you like to see?
