“Oh no! I lost the holy flame.” Ash knelt on the ground helplessly. It turned out that Ash and the others had encountered the holy flame when they were preparing to go to the Alliance’s arena. On a whim, Ash had also requested to run to pass on the holy flame.

The current situation was that Ash and the others were attacked by the Team Rocket Team on the way to pass on the holy flame. The holy flame was snatched away by the Team Rocket Team.

Team Rocket was about to escape on the hot air balloon when the balloon slowly descended. Ash took a closer look and saw that there was a huge Pokémon pressing down on the balloon.

“What is this?” Jessie was terrified when she saw this huge body.

“This should be some kind of huge Pokémon,” James replied.

“That’s it, meow!” Meow Meow said.

“Bulbasaur, use vine whip to snatch the holy flame back!” With that, two vine whips snatched the holy fire from Jessie’s hand.

“Lugia, you can pop this balloon now.” Lugia moved its claws and gently poked the balloon. Then, it moved aside.

“What an annoying feeling!” The two of them and the cat flew further and further away amidst a long wail.

“Lugia, go down!” As Lugia landed, Wang Yu jumped down from Lugia’s body.

“Ash, we meet again,” Wang Yu said as he looked at Ash, who was in a sorry state.

“It’s Wang Yu! I didn’t expect to be in such a sorry state every time I see you!” Ash looked at Wang Yu speechlessly.

“Haha… Don’t mind me! I didn’t pick this time to meet you. I was just passing by.” Wang Yu chuckled.

Wang Yu was really passing by. He wanted to fly directly to the arena, but he found the hot air balloon below. Fortunately, he heard the unique meowing sound of Team Rocket, so he descended to take a look.

In the end, he helped to snatch back the holy flame. Of course, this holy flame was dispensable because the president of the Alliance still had the real flame of Moltres on him.

“Speaking of Moltres, maybe it’s time to subdue it. There’s also Articuno and Zapdos.” When Wang Yu thought of Moltres, he thought of Articuno and Zapdos. Then, he thought of the fact that Lugia, who was now at the maximum level, could fight the other three holy birds.

Moreover, if he could subdue the other three holy birds, it might be of great help to his body tempering plan. Whether it was to achieve his 1 VS 3 plan or to successfully carry out his body tempering plan, it was time to meet the three holy birds.

“I’ll give Ash this holy flame to you! Continue to work hard! I’ll wait for you in the Contestant Town!” Wang Yu handed the holy flame to Ash, then jumped onto Lugia and flew away.

“Contestant town. I’ll be there.” Ash watched Wang Yu fly away.

“He really flew away just like that. He didn’t even greet this genius beauty.” Only then did Misty crawl out of the pit dug by Team Rocket.

“Wang Yu’s Lugia has become stronger again.” Xiao Gang had also arrived.

“That kid called Wang Yu is really strong. He’s probably not weaker than me. This year’s Alliance Tournament will be very interesting.” The Alliance President jumped out at this time.

“Ash, you fought very well in protecting the holy fire just now.” The president of the alliance praised Ash.

“Eh?! President, the fire is going out! What should we do?” Misty asked.

“Hehe… Don’t worry, I still have this here!” The Alliance President said as he took out something. It seemed to be a lampshade. There was a small flame inside.

“These are the flames of the Moltres. I followed them all the way here because I was afraid that the holy flame would be extinguished. When the holy flame is extinguished, I’ll use the flames of the Moltres to ignite the holy fire.”

“…” Ash, Xiao Xia, and Xiao Gang were dumbfounded. They didn’t know that the president could do this.

Next, Ash, Misty, and Xiao Gang relayed the holy fire to the Alliance Arena.

The next day, the holy flame was officially lit by the president of the alliance. Then, the official start of the alliance challenge was announced. Ash and Wang Yu were among this group of people.

However, wasn’t the number of participants a little too high…
