Chapter 110 Closing Ceremony of the Quartz Conference
The closing ceremony of the Quartz Convention took place the night after the finals.
All players who qualify for the official competition will be present.
Except for one of the top four contestants who rushed back to his hometown because of the Minotaur incident.
Although Acheng gave up the chance to compete for third place and left, he is not very happy now.
A whole host of ridiculous things happened, leaving him completely overwhelmed and nearly getting himself killed. (Ash: Damn it, why isn't it here!)
Because of his early departure, the random player A who lost to Xiaoming was fortunate enough to directly become the third place.
The closing ceremony mainly consisted of a speech by President Dama Lanqi, followed by the presentation of medals and souvenirs to the participants.
As the tournament champion, Ash was the first to appear, followed by Demigod and Passerby A.
The president handed Ash the championship trophy, the proof of victory in the tournament. "This trophy is quite heavy, and it looks so golden. I wonder how much it cost?"
The champion is a gold-plated trophy with a Poké Ball design on top.
The runner-up received a silver medal, but the third-place winner was in a much worse situation, receiving only a crystal medal instead of a trophy.
When awarding the prizes to the contestants, the president couldn't stop smiling; it was clear he was in an extremely good mood.
Unfortunately, the previous Kanto League Tournament, despite being hailed as the strongest league tournament, made the gym leaders too strict precisely because of that title.
There have even been several instances where they couldn't even gather five participants, making it impossible to hold the event.
What will become of the Kanto Alliance without fresh blood?
Thinking about this problem every day has caused the president to lose all of her already thinning hair.
Therefore, this time the chairman personally ordered all gym leaders to give lenient badges to promising new trainers who are of good character.
This resulted in the Kanto region having the most new players in the history of this league tournament.
Of course, the number of participants was still nearly half that of other regional league tournaments, but the event was successfully held.
Damaran was initially worried that the event would be a disaster, but to his surprise, several outstanding new trainers still emerged.
This made Chairman Damaranch's smile bloom like a chrysanthemum, unable to close.
Even when presenting awards to the contestants, he kept saying nice things, especially when he came to Ash.
[Ding! Damaranchi (Chairman of the Kanto Alliance): Affection +10]
The president looked Ash up and down for a long time. "You are truly the future of the League. Young man, I look forward to your future growth."
"Thank you, President Damalanqi."
"Why is it the future again?" Ash couldn't help but think to himself as he accepted the trophy. "Do all the league's higher-ups like to say that?"
The awards ceremony followed the president's usual decisive style and ended quickly.
Ash, carrying the trophy back home, reunited with Misty and the others.
"That's amazing, Ash. Our New Town has finally produced another outstanding trainer." Professor Oak looked at Ash with great satisfaction.
"Are you planning to challenge the Champions League next?"
What is the Champions League?
Everyone stumbled upon hearing this.
"Oh dear, it's my fault, I forgot to tell you."
Professor Oak took out something that looked like an instruction manual and showed it to Ash, turning him to a certain page.
"Look, this is it. The Champions League is a high-level league competition composed of the champions of the league competitions in each region every year."
"Only players who win the official regional league tournament are eligible to participate."
"Then, once you gain an advantage in the Champions League, you can challenge the Four Heavenly Kings."
"So after Ash defeated the Elite Four, he became the new Elite Four, right?" Jun, who also lacked this knowledge, asked curiously.
"That's true in theory, but it's actually a bit more complicated," Xiao Gang added.
"Regional leagues also examine trainers' moral character, and the Elite Four not only signify extremely high status and power but also important responsibilities."
Actually, there are some things Xiao Gang didn't mention. To become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, one also needs the recognition of the local "local bullies" and "warlords."
Especially if you are an outsider,
Of course, the most common conditions for acceptance are the trainer's character and strength, since there are no "bad guys" among gym leaders.
"Once you defeat all four Heavenly Kings of the region, you can challenge for the championship."
"If you succeed in the challenge, you will become the new champion of this region."
"These are basic common sense points, you need to remember them." Professor Oak handed the instruction manual to Ash with a bit of a sigh.
"Should we challenge the Champion League?" Ash hesitated for a moment, then thought it over carefully.
"Let's challenge the Champions League later. I want to travel to more regions."
Ash felt that his Pokémon training was not good enough, and his Pokémon pool was too shallow. Excluding Mewtwo, he only had nine main Pokémon at most.
If we only consider the strength of the Pokémon, Ash should now be able to defeat the four main Pokémon of the relatively weak Elite Four.
Pikachu is powerful but also easy to target. You can't rely on Pikachu alone; you need more powerful companions.
My training as a Pokémon Trainer is still not enough.
The power was still insufficient, and the development of Super Rookie 3 was not going smoothly, which kept Ash in mind.
I need to travel more.
"You can decide these things yourself. The Champions League is held every two years, and any champion of the league's major tournament is eligible to participate. Oh, isn't it every year?"
"Although major tournaments in different regions are generally held once a year, the timing varies, which is why the Champion League is held every two years, and the timing is announced by the top Pokémon League."
"This year, the Kanto League is the first of all the regions to hold its tournament; the league tournaments in other regions haven't even finished yet."
After saying goodbye to Ash and the others, Professor Oak left to attend a very important meeting.
"By the way, Ash, remember to come to my lab after you return to Pallet Town. There's something I'd like you to help me with."
"Okay, what's up?"
"Could you please deliver something?"
Before heading back, Ash made a special trip to the warehouse to see Kojiro and the others.
As soon as I pushed open the door, I saw Sundae next to me with a look of ecstasy on her face. She must have stayed up for several nights to finish up all the last matters of the Quartz Conference.
What a hardworking maid! She should be rewarded with some high-protein food to supplement her nutrition.
"This operation was a complete success. Everyone did a great job. After you collect your rewards, enjoy a week of paid vacation."
"Hooray, Ash Ketchum!" ×3
"What about me? What about me?" Sundae looked at Musashi and the others' happy faces and couldn't help but feel envious.
"Do I also get paid leave?"
"You've worked so hard these past few days. Although you joined late, your contributions are equally undeniable."
Ash gently pulled Sundae into his arms and patted her head tenderly as encouragement.
"Little Sundae is a big contributor!"
Without her, Xiaozhi would be the one approving the documents.
[Ding! Sundae: Affection +1]
This makes Sundae's feelings very complicated now; she originally wanted to sabotage Ash.
"How did it turn out like this?"
Although she was happy to be praised, her proud and arrogant nature resurfaced.
"Hmph, these little things are very simple for me, I don't need your praise."
"Really? That's great. Head to the group's headquarters in Evolution Town right now. I have a lot of documents on my desk that need your attention."
[Ding! Sundae: Affection -5]
"Ash, you..."
Upon hearing her call his name, Xiao Zhi's expression immediately changed. He put on an angry and frightening look, pinched Sundae's smooth little face, and pointed it at his eyes.
"This is not the attitude a qualified maid should have!"
Startled, Sundae cried out in a slightly tearful voice, "Little Zhi, Xiujin Sangma—"
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Xiao Zhi immediately put on a bright smile.
"Alright, you can take three days off now. Have a good rest, little Sundae. We can go to Evolution Town after your vacation."
"Really?"
"Of course, our little sundae is so cute and has worked so hard, she definitely deserves a reward."
[Ding! Sundae: Affection +10]
Arrogant young ladies like this need to be bullied from time to time.
The next morning, Xiaogang decided to stay at Quartz Plateau for a while longer, and Xiaochun also needed to rush back to see her parents.
Xiao Zhi then bid farewell to his relatives and friends one by one.
"Isn't Natsume coming back with us?" There are direct flights between major cities in the Kanto region.
"Need not-"
Ever since that unforgettable night with Ash and Misty, Sabrina now looks at Ash with a shy and evasive gaze.
It emitted a red glow from its entire body and instantly teleported away from Ash and his friends' sight.
"Superpowers are really useful."
After expressing his feelings, Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia, and their mother boarded the plane home.
However, as soon as he returned to Pallet Town, he received an unexpected phone call.
As soon as the call connected, Raizo's urgent voice came through: "Master, something terrible has happened! The Dark City needs Hall Master Aaron to return immediately."
