Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile Chapter 358 - 204: Guests Arrive at New Island, Lorelei’s Ap

"His na is Fergus, he talks a big ga, but he’s quite a notable trainer. What about you guys?" the young girl casually revealed the muscled man’s na and turned to ask Ash and the others.

"I’m Ash, this is Misty, Brock, Gary, and then..." Ash’s introduction suddenly halted as he stepped aside, revealing Lorelei to everyone.

Previously, Lorelei had obscured her figure with a heavy cloak, but after the rain had soaked it, it was too cumberso, and keeping it on could lead to a cold. Lorelei wouldn’t carry it anymore.

So when she was on Lapras, she’d already thrown the cloak into the sea, and now she was dressed as she usually was.

Her exquisite features appeared before Corey and the others, causing them all to freeze.

As residents of Kanto who had been traveling for years, how could they not recognize Lorelei’s appearance?

Upon seeing Lorelei, Fergus’s mind went blank. What nonsense had he spouted just now? Was he claiming the title of the strongest trainer? Against an Elite like Lorelei? He was dood. Why was Lorelei here?!

Fergus felt confident not because he was strong, but because he knew truly powerful trainers weren’t usually interested in these types of events.

Did he really think that a tournant pitched as the ultimate trainer showdown would gather trainers from all over the world?

Dream on!

If that were the case, why would the Quartz Conference have such stringent screening, and why would the champions only get preliminary recognition? Winning this could at best bring them a bit of fa in a small region.

To hold the title of world’s best trainer or strongest trainer, one must compete in a world championship organized by all the leagues, and winning among thousands of trainers is what constitutes a true top trainer!

In both world championships and League Conferences, participants and those with rankings receive rewards. The higher the organizers’ credibility, the significant is the recognition of the winners’ achievents.

Otherwise, if soone held an unofficial tournant calling it the world’s strongest trainer competition, and only two trainers from the roadside participated with one winning, would anyone acknowledge that title?

Stop kidding!

The sa logic applied to the tournant on New Island. For powerful trainers, such amateur tournants had no credibility. Attending such an event was out of courtesy to elevate its prestige; otherwise, it was normal not to attend.

Fergus, with his decent strength, was already a strong contender for the championship of such an event!

Plus, since Ash and the others appeared so young, Fergus felt emboldened to boast.

Yet, when Ash and the others stepped aside, revealing Lorelei, Fergus was utterly shocked—an Elite Four mber attending such a competition? You’re kidding! It’s like washing coal in a big river—utterly pointless!

"Hello everyone, I’m Lorelei. You’re Fergus, right? Please go easy on in the upcoming match," Lorelei said with a cheerful smile towards Fergus.

"No, no, Lorelei... I an, Master Lorelei! I didn’t an what I said earlier, please don’t take it seriously! Fighting against you would be the honor of my life. I’d appreciate it if you could give so pointers!" Fergus imdiately dropped his previous arrogant deanor, his face even showing a fawning smile.

Lorelei’s influence was just too overwhelming, especially in such a ’small tournant.’

Following Fergus, Corey and the girl started chattering around Lorelei too, and in no ti, Lorelei beca the center of attention in the castle.

Ash pointed to himself, thinking of saying sothing, but in the end, he didn’t speak up.

After all, he was a celebrity too! Just recently, he had battled with Lorelei!

If they could recognize Lorelei, how co they couldn’t recognize him?

Outside, Ash was often burdened with wearing a mask to hide from swarming fans, but now that no one recognized him, he felt a bit down.

Humans are truly peculiar creatures!

After the trio chatted with Lorelei about various Pokemon knowledge and questions, a sudden gleaming beam of light burst out from within the massive castle!

The source of the beam was a spot further along from the table, shooting straight up from the ground!

A figure draped in a black cloak slowly floated out from the beam of light, eventually landing in front of the table.

The cloaked figure’s presence captivated everyone’s attention; they realized this person might be the castle owner.

"Congratulations on passing the first test and reaching New Island. Next is the contest to decide the strongest trainer. You can release your Pokemon at will; if you can defeat , you’ll be the strongest trainer."

The cloaked person’s voice was icy and cold. Unexpectedly, it was a woman’s voice.

Was the organizer of this event a girl?

Ash activated his Aura Power, sweeping it across the front, his expression shifting rapidly as emotions like suspicion and disbelief flickered over his face.

To be sure, Ash once again used Aura Power to scan, finally confirming that his earlier evaluation was not mistaken.

"wtwo, is this your doing? Co out, I’ve already found you." Ash stood quietly in front of everyone, addressing the cloaked figure.

Corey and the others wore puzzled expressions after hearing Ash.

Who was wtwo? Was it soone this boy knew? This person’s na sounded quite peculiar; they’d never heard of anyone with the surna w.

As Ash’s words settled, another figure slowly rose within the beam of light. She was slender but remarkably tall, appearing to be at least two ters high.

"Is this... a Pokemon?" Seeing wtwo levitate, Corey widened his eyes, sowhat uncertain as he spoke.

This Pokemon was unknown to him, and after Ash’s words, it appeared, suggesting this so-called ultimate trainer tournant might be its handiwork?

’So you found , but given your abilities, failing to find would be more unusual. We et again, Ash.’ wtwo’s voice echoed in everyone’s minds, as the cloaked figure’s body suddenly slumped to the ground.

Lorelei raised her eyebrows slightly, her Pokeball on her waistband suddenly opened, allowing a Dewgong to glide across the floor, catching the slumped cloaked figure steadily.

As the cloaked figure fell, her hat also slipped down, revealing her true identity—Miss Joy!

"How can this be?! Why is Miss Joy here?"

"It really is Miss Joy. Could this event have been organized by her?"

"No, that’s not right. Miss Joy doesn’t seem to be acting of her own will; perhaps she’s being controlled by that levitating Pokemon!"

Corey’s words jolted Fergus and the girl awake. Now that he ntioned it, Miss Joy’s deanor did indeed resemble a zombie’s stiffness, suggesting she was likely under control!

So, was the orchestrator of this event not Miss Joy but the levitating Pokemon nad wtwo?!

Seeing Miss Joy collapsed on the ground, Ash’s expression turned grim. "Why... why are you doing this? You escaped from Giovanni with so much difficulty, and you have the chance to live freely, to pursue your dreams. So why are you doing this now?!"

’I know exactly what I’m doing. I’m about to... start a revolution!’ wtwo’s icy voice reverberated in everyone’s minds, sending a chill through them all!

Revolution? It sure didn’t sound like a good term!
