32. Ash's Reborn Story

Chapter 150 Meloetta and Battle Wheel Part 3

After gets into the Ferris Wheel Car, he is surprised to see who is in front of him.

Ash: I can't believe you are the mysterious participant...

The person in front of them is the Ringmaster, which means she is also participating in this tournament.

Ringmaster: Hi, Ash! It turns out the Mystery Participant was me all along! Are you surprised?!

Ash: I am surprised.

Ringmaster: Yes, gottem! ...Unless you were just being nice. In which case that's not very nice. I didn't think everyone was just going to clear out of here entirely as soon as they lost, like losing breaks some kind of spell on them! I thought there would at least be a crowd or numbers to hide in or something, but... No matter! I said I would host a tournament for it, but I've no need to give Meloetta up if I also win that tournament! So all I have to do is simply beat you, the entire Champion! Let's have at it!

The field is the Swamp Field, and Ringmaster sends out Hawlucha first, Ash goes for Pikachu to battle, and Hawlucha uses the Flying Gem to strengthen the Acrobatics, but Pikachu takes the hit and goes for Thunderbolt, knocking out the Pokemon in the end. The second Pokemon is Blaziken, and it defeats Pikachu with the Superpower, so Ash goes for Victini, and Ash goes for the Z Move Shattered Psyche to knock the Pokemon out, even though Blaziken manages to deal damage because of the Speed Boost ability. And the final Pokemon is Primarina, with the Z Move Oceanic Operetta, it defeats Victini, so Ash goes for Goodra, using Poison Tail to knock it out of the battle.

Ringmaster: (Mutters) I should never have waived your entry fee... (Recalls Pokemon) This is probably for the best. Mystery Participant was a silly title anyway. Next time I've gotta come up with something more scrupulous... Or is it less scrupulous? I always get them mixed up. Like... "Enigma Entrant!"

Ash: I don't think it is a good idea.

After the matches are over, Ash is surprised to see Lumi losing to Cass.

Lumi: Ash, I'm sorry, I wanted to battle you...

Ash: It's fine, Lumi, you have already done a good job. Eve is going to be proud of you.

Lumi: Win the tournament for us, okay?

Ash nods as he hears what the Ringmaster is going to say.

Ringmaster: The semifinals are over! Let's go over the results! First up-

Cass: The results are apparent. The final match is me and Ash. Let's just get to it already. (Leaves to the Ferris Wheel)

Samson: ...Aaand in the last match, the Ringmaster's Pride was utterly destroyed by Cass.

Ringmaster: But- the fanfare... Oh, fine. I thought more people would be sticking around after elimination anyway... Maybe they're just down in the main area, buying merchandise?

Samson: Yeah, I don't know about all that.

Ringmaster: But... my sales...

Ash sighs as he walks towards the Ferris Wheel and faces Cass in the final round, and Cass is already waiting for them.

Cass: No need for a dramatic preamble; let's just go.

The field is the Underwater Field, and Cass goes for Alolan Ninetales, after Pikachu hits it with the Iron Tail, it just uses the item Eject Button to switch into Cinccino. Pikachu goes for Double Kick, but Cinccino goes for Bullet Seed, with the ability Skill Link, it continues to hit Pikachu until it is low in health, but Ash uses the Field advantage and uses Thunderbolt to knock out the first Pokemon. As the Ninetales is back, Pikachu also defeats the Pokemon with the Iron Tail, giving him the second win.
