Chapter 39 Satoshi and Charizard’s Failure? Unwilling to Accept Defeat!
At this moment —
“I’ll do it!”
A familiar yet strange figure pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Satoshi.
“Kross!”
Whether it was Satoshi, Souji, or Seiji, including their Pokémon.
They all recognized the guy in front of them.
The guy who abandoned Charmander!
…
“This guy finally showed up!”
The moment Kross appeared, the trainers' uneasy hearts instantly settled.
They knew it!
This guy was going to cause trouble!
Sure enough!
Here he was!
Many people frowned in disgust upon seeing Kross appear.
“He abandoned Charmander and even eavesdropped on Satoshi’s conversation, and he dares to show his face?!”
“Satoshi and Pikachu, attack! Smash this guy’s head!”
“Yes, yes! Let him see what Pikachu’s power is like!”
“Teach him a lesson!”
The trainers all raised their fists in righteous indignation.
No one doubted.
That Satoshi would lose to Kross.
Right?
With Pikachu's incredible strength.
How could Satoshi possibly lose?
Impossible!
Out of the question!
…
Sinnoh region.
Veilstone City.
Shinji crossed his arms and stared coldly at the battle about to unfold on the screen.
“Isn’t it natural to abandon weak Pokémon?”
“At most, this guy is just being too extreme.”
Unlike most people who empathized with Satoshi.
Shinji couldn’t understand Satoshi’s insistence either.
Friendship with Pokémon?
What a joke!
He, Shinji, wanted the strongest Pokémon!
One day in the future.
When he set out on his journey.
Only the strongest Pokémon would stay by his side!
Weak Pokémon should accept their fate of being abandoned!
However...
“It would be better to just release them into the wild, there’s no need for all that fuss.”
Shinji added coldly.
All you can say is.
He understood Kross’s actions but didn’t support them.
Reis chuckled wryly as he listened from the side.
“Shinji, this way of raising Pokémon is wrong…”
“Look at Satoshi’s Pikachu…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but Shinji interrupted him.
“Humph!”
“That guy called Satoshi is just lucky!”
“I will definitely defeat him!”
“I will use facts to prove that I am the strongest!”
Shinji raised his chin and said impatiently.
Reis sighed.
Reis remained silent.
Sigh!
My brother’s grown up!
He’s starting to rebel!
What can I, his older brother, do?
I can only hope that Satoshi beats up my brother a few times in the future, to let my brother see the true nature and danger of the world!
That’s the only thing I can do as his brother!
…
On the screen —
The moment Kross appeared.
The atmosphere of the entire venue became heavy.
The sunlight shone sideways on Kross's face.
It had a very villainous atmosphere.
Seeing this.
A sense of foreboding inexplicably arose in the hearts of countless viewers.
Hiss —
It feels like something’s about to happen!
It must be our imagination, right?
Professor Kukui stared at the screen, his hand already on his chin.
“This Kross’s Pokémon is a Lycanroc… Well… it seems to be raised pretty well?”
Plus this atmosphere…
As a veteran of countless battles, Professor Kukui had a bad feeling in his heart.
But, Pikachu shouldn’t lose, right?
No…
Not necessarily.
The Pokémon Satoshi will use isn’t necessarily Pikachu.
Professor Kukui frowned.
Things were getting complicated.
With uneasy hearts, the audience continued to watch nervously.
Kross's opening words were full of sarcasm and villainy.
“You seem to have caught that useless Charmander?”
Satoshi clenched his fists upon hearing this.
“There’s no such thing as useless Pokémon!”
Speaking of which.
Satoshi directly took out Charmander's Poké Ball.
“Come out! Charizard!”
Charizard roared majestically as he appeared.
But when he saw the trainer standing opposite him, Charizard’s expression clearly froze for a moment.
This is —
The guy who abandoned him!
While Charizard was sizing up Kross.
Kross was also looking at Charizard.
“It evolved?”
“But even after evolving, a weak fake is still weak!”
His tone was full of sarcasm and disdain.
“That’s not true!”
Satoshi’s anger value instantly exploded!
“It will become stronger with its trainer!”
Kross sneered and pulled out a Poké Ball in return.
“Come out! My strongest Fire-type Pokémon!”
“Incineroar!”
The moment they saw Incineroar appear.
Professor Kukui painfully covered his face.
“Wow!”
“This is Lycanroc and Incineroar… this kid is actually a trainer from the Alola region?”
Professor Kukui was in a complicated mood.
Looking at the Incineroar and Charizard on the screen, Professor Kukui’s bad feeling grew stronger.
