He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4391 Shemi: Isn't this the Night Demon Spirit's handyman Ding?

After the battle, Flame Ace knelt at one end of the arena, his chest heaving violently, indicating that he had exhausted himself.

Especially when the Z-Move was activated suddenly just now, the fireball, which is usually only half a meter wide, suddenly expanded to five meters wide, which took some getting used to.

However, the results of this qualifying round are already in!

The Rotom drone's camera panned across both sides, and it announced loudly:

"Lizard King, incapacitated!"

"Since Mirat has no Pokémon available to continue the match, Ash is the winner of this World Championship High Ball Ranked Match!"

After broadcasting, the Rotom drone rose again, intending to fly south.

Its charging compartment is in Mugan Town, which is right next to it.

"The real-time rankings have been updated. Please check them yourself!"

Before leaving, he didn't forget to give a reminder.

Ash was overjoyed and quickly took out his Rotom phone.

As you can see on the screen, the World Championship rankings have been updated.

His ranking climbed from 40th in the senior class to 22nd!

"They've reached 22nd place!"

Ash's eyes burned with excitement, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

If we play one more match, it should be a promotion match at the Master level!

His opponent in the last promotion tournament was Alice. I wonder who he'll be matched against in the next promotion tournament!?

Mary and Hep came up and offered their blessings:

"Congratulations, Ash! You've taken another step forward!"

"Congratulations. By the way, I really can't wait to see you and my brother fight!"

In contrast, Mirat stood opposite him, head down, hands hanging at his sides.

The wide sleeves fell directly to the ground.

Ashida walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke in a unusually serious tone.

"Try again next time, there will be another chance."

"Even if we can't make the Battle Frontier famous, it's okay."

Mirat looked up and twitched his lips.

He was simply a little disappointed because he lost the game.

As for bringing glory to the battlefront zone...

So that's how it happened?

Mirat took out his phone to check his latest ranking.

She dropped from 26th to 32nd, but the drop wasn't significant.

Is it because Ash's hidden MMR is strong enough?

However, making it into the top eight will be quite difficult.

Although each of his Pokémon has a special skill, trainers in this tier are all masters of special skills!

Afterwards, they completed their treatment in the neighboring town of Mugan.

Since it was a rare opportunity to visit the Galar region, Ash naturally extended a warm invitation to Ash and his two companions to visit his Watchtower Castle.

As for Mr. Kamishiro's battle pyramid, it will be temporarily placed on the south bank of Yaya Lake.

Anyway, no one can steal it.

Before long, the group arrived at the watchtower gate.

Ashida took off her sunglasses, looked at the city wall in front of her, and couldn't help but tease:

"Wow, Ash~ You're a great castle lord now too~?"

It feels surprisingly good.

Why don't we tear down and rebuild our big villa in the battle frontier into a castle-like structure?

Hmm, I can ask Xiaozhi for the design drawings later.

Mr. Kamishiro and Mirat's focus, naturally, was on the Pokémon living there.

"So, it really is a new team."

Kamishiro crossed his arms and slowly scanned the entire courtyard.

Aside from Pikachu, which he recognized, the others all seemed to be newly captured.

Surprisingly, despite being a completely new lineup, they all seem to be of high caliber.

He also remembered his two previous meetings with Ash in the Hoenn and Sinnoh regions, where Ash had shown two different team compositions.

"So, they've trained a third team in such a short time?" Kamishiro nodded in approval.

What Mirat is more concerned about is the origin of these Pokémon—or rather, their homeland.

“It’s not just people from all over the Galar region, it’s people from all over the country.”

Mirat walked to the middle of the courtyard and sighed.

It has the ability to instantly identify where a Pokémon comes from; for example, Cinderace, Corviknight, Dracovish, and Sirfetch'd are all native to Galar.

"No, that's not right. Negi-kun is from the Johto region, right? You're right."

Xiao Zhi paused suddenly halfway through his sentence.

He then spread his hands, acknowledging Mirat's abilities.

Don't underestimate the Scallion Pan; he was first captured in the oak forest of the Johto region, and several years have passed since then.

However, according to the charcoal burners in the oak forest at the time, the batch of leek ducks were all imported from other places, and there was even a "black leek duck" mixed in.

Mirat smiled confidently and continued to review his troops.

"Pink Butterfree, Kingler, and Gengar, they're all from the Kanto region, right?"

"The bear in the clothes, and that steel giant, must be from the Alola region."

However, Mirat was speechless, unable to come up with a suitable place for Lingyouma and Wudao Xiongshi.

Sword and Shield DLC is way beyond what's expected!

Unfortunately, his ability to appease the local population and establish diplomatic relations was left unused.

"Huh, what's this Pokémon...?"

When they reached the vicinity of the farmland area, Mirat suddenly stopped and bent down.

Shaymi was lying on the edge of the field. Rare mythical beasts were one thing, but this Shaymi...

Why does it have an aura so similar to that of the Night Demon?!

Mirat thought for a moment, then threw the Poké Ball with a backhand.

boom!

As the red light faded, the Night Demon reappeared, raising its hand in preparation for a roar.

"Demon—uh?"

The roar was still stuck.

Its single red eye looked at Shemi, paused for a moment, and then immediately lit up.

"Demon Spirit, Demon Spirit!!"

Then he leaned closer and excitedly pointed to himself.

"Shaymi?"

Shemi was also taken aback for a moment, but quickly recognized him.

Isn't this the Night Demon servant Ding, who was captured by Giratina and forced to work in the Reverse World?

It remembered that this guy was very hardworking, so after completing the work period, it was sent back to the Hoenn region.

"Demon Spirit!!"

The Night Demon immediately floated over, triggering muscle memory and lowering its body.

With nimble movements, she began helping Shemi pull up the weeds along the edge of the field.

He skillfully watered and fertilized the flowers again.

He was an old black slave!

This was also its main job in the Reversal World, basically doing odd jobs in the Shami population's plantations.

Mirat stood to the side, watching the scene, his mouth gradually opening wider.

How could I run into someone I know here?!

"Hehe, actually my Shaymi also comes from the Reverse World~"

Xiao Zhi explained with a smile.

Shaymin's ancestral home is the Sinnoh region, but he currently resides in the Reverse World.

Mirat: "."

This is another blind spot in my knowledge!

Ash pursed his lips. If he told Mirat now that he planned to open a fixed passage directly to the Reverse World in the open space of the castle courtyard in a few days, it would be a mistake.

That would be even more shocking, wouldn't it? (End of Chapter)
