[Diantha: The Flaming Seismic Toss… This is the prototype of the later Dragon-type Seismic Toss, right? I didn't expect that he would already start adding elemental skills to Seismic Toss here.]
[Wallace: Even on a rainy day, the Charizard can still make such a powerful flame… Its strength is really completely above Dragonair's!]
[Flint: Total shutdown, total shutdown. A Dragonair with a boosted Hydro Pump on a rainy day and a field advantage almost didn't cause any permanent damage to Ash's Charizard. Isn't this a one-sided match?]
[Clair: …It's not that my Dragonair is too weak, it's that Ash's Charizard is too strong!!]
[Cynthia: Actually, it can be seen in the video that Clair was a little surprised by the strength of Charizard. However… Charizard did not come to the Blackthorn Gym to train, so why was Clair surprised?]
[Cynthia: I guess… It is likely that after Ash and Charizard reunited, they once again increased the power of Charizard! The current Charizard should be second only to the Elite Four level!]
[Lance: Having said that, I don't know how long it will take for this threshold to be crossed! More than ninety percent of the Pokémon in the world are blocked by this threshold!]
[Noland: When fighting against Articuno, Charizard reached the level of the Elite Four, otherwise even under type advantage, legendary Pokémon are not so easy to defeat.]
[Volkner: Unfortunately, during the Silver Conference, it shouldn't have reached that level yet… Otherwise, Charizard should not have lost.]
In the previous inventory, everyone already knew that Charizard lost to Harrison at the Silver Conference. And Harrison only reached the middle level of the Elite Four after about four years.
Therefore, the opponent couldn't reach the Elite Four level at the Silver Conference; the reverse is also true.
If Charizard had reached the Elite Four level during the Silver Conference… it would have been impossible for him to lose to Harrison. It can only be said that it is a pity…
But... that's the past timeline! Now reality has changed! At this current stage, Charizard is already about to break through the Elite Four level, and it even has MEGA evolution! Now Ash is completely different from the video! The failure of the Silver Conference… will never happen again!
In the Footage—
Ash defeated Dragonair and received the final badge. This way, he has collected eight badges and can challenge the Silver Conference!
The screen turned, and it came directly to the draw of the Top 16 round of the Silver Conference! This transition seems very abrupt, but thinking about it… It is estimated that Ash did not use Charizard in the rounds before the Top 16, and in this Top 16 round, he should let Charizard play.
Ash's final opponent drawn was… Gary!!
The two sides have been fierce rivals of each other since they were in Pallet Town.
Although Ash would lag behind Gary every time, he always catches up at the critical moment! This match should be regarded as the first official duel between the two sides in a conference! There must be a wonderful battle ahead.
[Lance: By the way… Gary lost this game, right?]
[Diantha: If nothing else, it's a loss. After all, this is the preordained ending.]
[Flint: Yes, the inventory will not change the past records based on current reality. Since Ash loses to Harrison in the Top 8 match in that timeline, then this Top 16 match will definitely be won!]
[Volkner: The end has long been preordained… It's a pity that Gary has a rival template. If it weren't for the collision with Ash here, he shouldn't have stopped at the top sixteen.]
Behind the Scenes at the Oak Research Institute
Gary looked at the image on the screen in disbelief. When he saw that the opponent in the top sixteen was himself, he was a little blindsided.
Since he and Ash met in the top sixteen… then it means that he lost. He would actually lose to the Ash who hadn't received the inventory rewards yet… How is this possible?
Isn't it because he had always beaten Ash and got tired of winning that he changed careers to become a Pokémon researcher? Gary began to doubt life.
In the Footage—
On the evening of the same day, Ash began to prepare a battle plan overnight in order to target Gary, and even Brock was pulled in together.
In the end, they found that almost all of Gary's Pokémon species were well-cultivated, and they couldn't think of a specific way to hard-counter them… Since this is the case, they can only rely on a powerful offensive!
On the morning of the next day, an orange-red shadow descended from the sky, and Ash's Charizard returned from the Charicific Valley again! The scene of Ash and Charizard reminiscing happened to be seen by Gary.
After the two looked at each other for a long time, Ash took out his half of the broken Poké Ball and said to Gary:
"This game… I will never lose!"
"That's what I should say to you! The match with you is just a small interlude; my goal is to win the Silver Conference."
While speaking, Gary also took out his half of the Poké Ball. From the appearance, Gary and Ash's Poké Balls seem to be able to combine into a whole. It seems that this half of the Poké Ball carries its own story.
After a brief reminiscence between the two sides, the picture changes, and finally, it's time for the two to face off!
In this match, Ash's Pikachu sits on top of the coach's bench and acts as a cheerleader. Behind Gary are his six cheerleaders. In terms of momentum, the opposite side is a little bigger, and the most important thing is… Brock almost became a traitor! Fortunately, Misty let him wake up in time.
[Lance: Doesn't Ash use Pikachu? This should be one of his trump cards, right?]
[Volkner: It's really strange. Generally speaking, in this kind of high-stakes match, Ash would send Pikachu… Could it be that he made a specific countermeasure after studying Gary's Pokémon last night?]
[Leon: Nine times out of ten, Ash should have carefully thought about the Pokémon that Gary would use yesterday, and assembled a set of targeted tactical systems!]
