Pokémon: Ash's Journey to Mastery

"You have been the Queen of Carlos for so long, but you have never left our trip, but have always been with us. It's time for you to take on the responsibility of the Queen of Carlos." Xiaozhi said with a depressed look. In fact, he had been prepared for this day. After all, when Serena became the queen, there would always be a day to fulfill her due responsibilities. I just didn't expect it to come now.

"I'm sorry, Xiaozhi, I can't come to your duel with Karuno. I need to perform in a city to bring smiles to everyone. This is my duty as the Queen of Carlos. It has been delayed for long enough and can't be delayed any longer." Serena didn't want to do this, but she had no choice but to take on the due responsibilities of the title of Queen of Carlos and couldn't be willful.

"But I will come here as soon as I finish my performance. I will definitely watch your duel with Karuno. Believe me." Although Serena looked depressed, she was particularly firm in the end.

"Sarina, why can't you watch Xiaozhi's duel before performing?" Xiu Lijia asked sadly.

"That's right." Xiaoya echoed

"Why can't you watch it before performing?" Xiaoxi said puzzledly.

"I..."

"Xi Lijia, as the queen of the Kalos region, Serina also has her own responsibilities and can't be willful." Xitron, as a wise man, persuaded, but he was also disappointed in his heart.

"Sarina, you must come to watch my game when the time comes."

"Well, Xiaozhi, you must win too. If you defeat Karuna, the man I like will be invincible." Serina said with a red face.

"Well, Serina, I will definitely defeat Karuna. I promise you that we will get married when I become the world champion." Xiaozhi said with a red face and panting, as if he had used up all his strength and courage.

"Alas." Serina obviously didn't expect Xiaozhi to say such a thing, and she was surprised.

"Xiaozhi is too bold!" Xiu Lijia covered her face with her hands and said in surprise.

Pakila looked at this scene and sighed that it was good to be young.

"Is this a proposal?" Xitron said with blushing cheeks.

Pikachu's cheeks also turned red, and his ears were crossed.

Xiaoya, Xiaoxi didn't expect Xiaozhi to say this, and she was slightly dissatisfied.

Especially Xiaoya wanted to come over immediately, but was held by Xiaoxi's jade hand.

Xiaoxi shook her head gently. Xiaoya was silent for a while and stopped, not to destroy the atmosphere at this time.

Serena was silent for a while, speechless, making Xiaozhi's heart beat non-stop.

"Then you must become the world champion." Serena was silent for a while, and finally responded to Xiaozhi.

"But it may take a long time to achieve this goal. Are you willing to wait for me?" Xiaozhi said with a red face, and his voice became softer and softer.

"I'll wait for you!" Serena said unshakably after listening.

"I am willing to wait for you forever." Serena put her hand on her chest and said solemnly.

Xiaozhi and Serena hugged each other tightly.

"I will definitely come back to watch your game, goodbye." Serena waved her hand to say goodbye to everyone.

"Goodbye, I will do my best." Xiaozhi said happily.

... Although Xiaozhi and his team were sad about Serena's sudden departure, in order to prepare for the battle two days later, Xiaozhi has been thinking about the lineup and tactics at the computer desk these days.

Two days later, the duel between Xiaozhi and Karuna came as scheduled.

Through the efforts of everyone and Pokémon during this period, the competition venue in Miare City has been repaired. As long as you are with Pokémon, you can play unlimited possibilities.

The whole scene is still crowded with people. It can be seen that the audience is looking forward to this game. On one side is the strongest trainer in their own area, and on the other side is Xiaozhi, the hero who participated in saving Kalos and defeated the Four Heavenly Kings in two days.

"Under the blessed sunny sky, the day that everyone has been looking forward to finally arrived. In the Pokémon League championship battle, will Xiaozhi defeat Karuna and win the title of champion, or will Karuna still defend her title of champion?"

"A battle with the title and honor of champion at stake, the Carlos Champion League battle!" the commentator said excitedly.

"Watching Xiaozhi's battle will definitely allow me to gain a lot of experience points. I wonder what tactics he will deploy to deal with Miss Karuna?" Shota said, picking up his notebook.

"Xiaozhi has finally come to this step." Citron said with relief.

"Xiaozhi, come on! X2" Xiu Lijia and Xiao Xi cheered him up.

"But why hasn't Serena come yet?" Xiu Lijia said disappointedly."Don't worry, Sode Lijia, Serena, she will definitely come, after all, this is a very important game in Xiaozhi's life." Xitron persuaded.

Tierno, Doroba, and Sana sat aside, watching silently.

The eight gym leaders in the Kalos region watched in front of the TV, looking forward to Xiaozhi's next battle.

"Xiaozhi, you should be like the prophecy, with Koga Greninja to the top, I hope my prophecy is correct." Gejihua said thoughtfully.

"Xiaozhi, come on, show your courage." Korni said happily while watching the TV.

Kokobul looked at Korni thoughtfully, thinking that Xiaozhi was also pretty good.

"Xiaozhi, come on." Hanako said with a smile in front of the TV, and Professor Oak was watching on the side.

The elves in the backyard also danced and encouraged silently in their own way.

"Please invite the players from both sides to enter the venue."

"Standing in front of you is Xiaozhi from Pallet Town. So far, Xiaozhi has won the top 16 of the Quartz Conference, the top 8 of the Silver Conference, the top 8 of the Caiyou Conference, the champion of the Lily of the Valley Conference, the champion of the Hinoki Conference, and the champion of the Miare Conference."

"On the other side is the strongest trainer in the Kalos region. Since Karuna became the champion, she has been defending the championship throne and no one has ever defeated her."

Xiaozhi walked into the venue and scanned the audience, but did not find the figure he wanted, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

"Xiaozhi, what are you looking for?" Karuna looked at Xiaozhi's movements and said puzzledly.

"Nothing." Xiaozhi pretended to be indifferent and said, while clearing away the depression in his heart and cheering up to deal with the next battle.

"I am Xiaozhi from Pallet Town. My dream is to become a Pokémon Master. I will definitely win this game today." Xiaozhi said proudly.

"The victory declaration appeared, and Xiaozhi was full of confidence." The commentator said excitedly.

"Brother, hasn't Serena come yet? The battle is about to start." Sode Lika said anxiously.

"Serena should be here soon." Citron said a little uncertainly.

"As the Queen of Kalos, Serena has a lot of things to do, but I believe that she will definitely come to the important occasions in Xiaozhi's life." Shota said confidently.

("Serena, come quickly. This battle is an important step for Xiaozhi to realize his dream.")

("Come quickly.")

Sode Lika and Xiaoxi shouted silently in their hearts.

"Xiaozhi should bring out his strongest lineup for this battle. Pikachu, Charizard, and Greninja should definitely appear, but the last three are not sure." Citron analyzed.

"Miss Karuna's strength should not be underestimated. No one in the entire Kalos region has ever defeated her in the championship game. I wonder how Xiaozhi should deal with it?" Shota picked up the notebook and analyzed.
