Chapter 153 Fateful Encounter, Ritchie

"Hello, Nurse Joy, I'm here to draw the Rivals that will advance to the quarterfinals!"

At the Pokémon Center, Ash looked at Nurse Joy who was in charge of reception and said with a smile.

"Ash, um, come with me!"

Everyone in the Kanto Joy family is familiar with Ash!

Nurse Joy kindly led Ash and the two girls who followed him to a small artificial pond, where a considerable number of Magikarp were raised.

"Ash, this fishing rod is for you, go and fish for the Magikarp in the pond!"

"Each Magikarp has a corresponding number, and the number will naturally determine the Rival you will match in the next battle!"

Nurse Joy handed Ash a fishing rod, and the scene was basically the same as in the original plot.

I didn't think it was anything when I watched the animation TV in my previous life, but now I think this way of drawing lots is too sloppy.

A blue light flashed across Ash's eyes. If he used Psychic, he could freely control which Magikarp to let take the bait.

Taking the fishing rod, with Psychic light flashing in his eyes, Ash skillfully cast the fishing rod down, and a moment later he caught a Magikarp.

Magikarp has a very obvious mark on its body, b2

At the same time, the big screen also shows that Ash has matched Rival, who also caught a Magikarp with a b2 mark of 253.

Rival is still an acquaintance, but an acquaintance in the original plot!

Strictly speaking, he doesn't know himself yet!

Ritchie, who became friends with Ash in the original plot and also has Pikachu.

In the original plot, Ritchie defeated the Pokémon that were exhausted by the Rocket trio, and unfortunately lost in the game from the quarterfinals to the semifinals.

However, considering that his team is basically composed of Earl Dervish-shaped Pokémon, it is extremely lucky to be able to reach the quarterfinals.

With the luck bursting, the strength of Rival encountered in the previous four battles was very Normal.

Finally, he met Ash, who should have eliminated him, but the Rockets messed up the game!

As a result, all of Ash's Pokémon were exhausted, and Charizard was playing badly, so he rested during the battle, which can be said to have helped Ritchie win.

From the perspective of this Indigo Plateau Conference, Ritchie has more of a protagonist aura than Ash.

It's a pity that his strength is still too disappointing, and his strength to be recommended is not good enough.

(bhfd) This made the two Pikachu Trainers become runners-up in this Indigo Plateau Conference!

What surprised Ash was that through his Solaceon's Psychic, he was actually matched with Ritchie.

But now he is not the Ash in the original plot, and it is even more impossible for him to lose the game because of the Rockets' mess.

By the way, the Rockets haven't appeared for a long time.

In the original plot, they were all persistent followers.

Could it be because Giovanni was targeting him!

They also received instructions from above!

"Hi! You must be Ash from Pallet Town, right? I'm Ritchie, your Rival in the next game!"

"Pika~~"

Thinking calmly, Ash's attention was attracted by the boy in front of him wearing green clothes and a hat.

There was also a Pikachu standing on his shoulder, with a bunch of bangs and a sharper Growl than Ash's Pikachu.

Ritchie and his Pikachu Ren both reached out and greeted Ash and his Pikachu.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Except for some people, Ash's attitude has always been very kind.

Although Ritchie's strength is very poor and he is a typical lucky player, looking at the whole process of the battle with Ash in the original plot, his three views are very positive and his character is very good.

I remember that in the original plot, Ash was delayed for a long time because of the Rocket Team, and he asked the referee to postpone the game time until Ash came to the appointment to fight.

Facing Ritchie's kindness, Ash smiled and extended his hand with Pikachu.

"Wow, I actually shook hands with Ash, who is the favorite to win this conference!"

"He really has no airs at all!"

Ritchie thought to himself.

During his travels, most of the powerful Trainers he met were rather aloof and kept strangers away.

Ash in front of him was easy to get along with.

"Ash, I've watched your previous battle videos, and the Pokémon you trained are also very powerful. I still have to learn from you!"

"If possible, I have a small request!"

"I hope you can go all out to fight me tomorrow, let me see how big the gap is between me and a truly excellent Trainer!"

"Of course, if this will affect your planning of the entire Indigo Plateau Conference schedule, just ignore what I said!"

After saying that, Ritchie clasped his hands together and gave Ash a sincere aligado!

No, this kid is really honest!

The corners of Ash's mouth twitched slightly, and this standard 90-degree bow reminded him of the Neon people in his hometown!

"OJ!"

"Trigger the plot mission: Complete the teaching game against Ritchie!"

"Use a Pokémon of the same or evolved form as Ritchie to win the battle!"

Task reward: The level of a random Pokémon participating in the battle is increased by 3 levels Points: 50w

Ash was going to agree to his simple request, and the system also released generous task rewards, which made him no longer have any reason to refuse, and he nodded decisively.

"Okay, Ritchie, right!"

"I will take tomorrow's game seriously, just watch and learn well!"

Although they are all Rookie Trainers, no one at the scene felt it was inappropriate for Ash to speak in a senior tone, and Ritchie looked very happy.

After all, Ash is not an unknown Rookie now, and he is not even expected to be the next Mega Group of Pallet Town.

The one ahead of Ash is naturally Professor Oak!

With the current 4 one-on-three games and 4 strong main Pokémon.

He is considered to be the best Pokémon Trainer of the younger generation in the Kanto Region, no one else.

This attitude is not only not a mockery in Ritchie's eyes, but also a great gift to him.

"Thank you, no!"

"Well, there is nothing to thank, it's a matter of course!"

Ash, who is not good at being a teacher, waved his hand indifferently.

Show your true strength?

Then let Ritchie see the magical mage evolution

But in his heart, he was thinking about how to play this teaching game.
