Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

"Hello everyone! We are reporters from 'Sinnoh Now'. My name is Yuka. Do you two have a moment now?"

"Sinnoh Now?"

"Huh?! Is that the TV station that's really popular right now?!"

While Ash was puzzled by the sudden camera angle, Dawn had already reacted and exclaimed in surprise.

Ash and his friends are still heading towards Bellagio City. They have now left the mountain forest and arrived at a wide plain. Ash and Dawn are having a Pokémon battle, but they are interrupted by a reporter before their battle can even begin.

"Yes, it's the Sinnoh Now you mentioned. Actually, we're currently producing a special album about doubles matches. If possible, we'd like to invite the two of you—"

"boom--"

Before Yu Xiang could finish speaking, there was a loud bang as the staff member holding the microphone accidentally smashed it on her head.

"Didn't I say that! Cough...cough cough..."

Yuka wanted to get angry, but she held back in front of Satoshi and the others. From her words, Satoshi and the others could tell that this was not the first time. It was really surprising that she had such a good temper.

After forcing herself to calm down, Yuka began to tell Satoshi and Hikari what had happened.

It turns out there was a camping area in front of them specifically for Pokémon trainers to engage in double battles. There was a pair of brothers there who had already achieved a record of 16 consecutive wins. Now the TV station was looking for a pair of trainers with similar skill levels to those two brothers to record a battle program.

After failing many times, they finally turned their attention to Ash and Dawn, whom they had met by chance on their way back.

In layman's terms, it means—

Voluntary overtime work.

"What should we do? Should we go...?"

Xiao Gang had just set up the pot, so he could only wait for Xiao Zhi and Xiao Guang's opinions.

"I want to go!"

"I don't care."

Compared to Hikari, who was thrilled to know he was going to be on TV, Satoshi was much calmer.

After all, he was a familiar face on various TV programs, and many programs had invited him as a special guest.

It's just a doubles match, right? Ash seems to have other motives.

With two abstentions and one vote in favor, Ash and his friends, led by Yuka, arrived at a forest near the campsite. Along the way, they saw many Pokémon lying on the ground in twos and threes, as well as trainers standing by with helpless expressions.

It looks like these Pokémon were all knocked away.

This also shows the strength of those brothers.

"That makes it 19 consecutive wins!"

"That's awesome! I can't wait to see who will give us our 20th consecutive win! Hmm?"

As the twins were celebrating, one of them noticed that the reporter who had interviewed them earlier was bringing over three people who looked like Pokémon trainers.

After a brief understanding, both sides agreed on the rules of the battle.

"I am Izaki."

"I am Ibu!"

The twins introduced themselves in this way, and Ash and Dawn also gave a brief introduction.

However, none of these are the most crucial points. The most crucial point is...

Blue Crocodile and Fire Rock Rat?

Ash thought to himself as he looked at the Pokémon at the two brothers' feet.

Despite having already achieved a nineteen-game winning streak, these two Pokémon still look energetic and show no signs of fatigue, suggesting they must have won their previous matches easily.

"I want to use Piplup!"

Dawn then sent out Piplup, which was to be expected, since it was a Pokémon battle that would be on television, and Dawn would definitely send out her ace Pokémon to fight.

"Where's Ash? Pikachu?!"

"Pickup!"

Xiao Guang asked this question, and Pikachu looked ready to pounce.

"No," Ash immediately denied.

"I choose you! Grasshopper Turtle!"

Ash's final choice was Turtwig. Firstly, since it was a doubles battle, Ash wanted to give Dawn some room to perform, and a Pikachu that was too strong wouldn't be suitable. Secondly, Turtwig had been performing very well recently, and if nothing unexpected happened...

"Pi~"

Seeing that it had no chance to play, Pikachu could only stand with Brock as a cheerleader. Both sides on the field were ready, the cameras were in place, and the battle was about to begin.

"Game start!"

As Brock waved, Ash also took action.

The twins in front of me are obviously very good at doubles matches, while Hikaru lacks experience in doubles matches. It is clear that I need to lead Hikaru in the battle.

"Cindera is yours, just attack without worry! Turtwig, use Razor Leaf!"

"Huh?! I-I know... Piplup used Bubble Beam on Cinderace!"

Just as Ash said, Dawn, who had never experienced a double battle before, agreed to go quickly, but she was actually a little nervous. After all, she and Ash had never cooperated like this before, and suddenly she was going to battle a trainer who had achieved a 19-game winning streak. It would be a lie to say that she was fine.

However, after Ash gave her a clear goal and simplified doubles into singles, Dawn was at least able to make basic judgments.

"Cyndaquil, use Flamethrower!"

"The blue crocodile will cross its stance and bite!"

Attribute advantage/disadvantage.

Elements that are important in singles matches become even more important in doubles matches.

Each of the four Pokémon on the field has its own strengths and weaknesses, so they should find a more suitable opponent in a short battle.

Ash had this plan, and the Izaki brothers shared the same idea.

The side that gains an attribute advantage can take the initiative.

On the field, just as Turtwig's Razor Leaf was being engulfed by Cyndaquil's Flamethrower after it changed position, and on the other side, Krookodile charged straight at Piplup with its mouth wide open, bracing itself against the power of Bubble Beam, Ash suddenly gave another command—

"Charge to the blue crocodile's position and use Bite!"

"?!" x2

The Izaki and Ibu brothers never expected that Ash's next command would come so soon after Razor Leaf clashed with Flamethrower.

What they didn't expect was—

"So fast?!"

The speed of the Turtwig exceeded their expectations. Before the two could even assess the changed situation, the Turtwig had already lowered its body and arrived at the Blue Crocodile's side first. Just as the Blue Crocodile was about to bite Piplup, the Turtwig bit the Blue Crocodile first.

The blue crocodile, in pain, let out a mournful cry and staggered back several steps.
