Her journey at the Quartz Tournament, which belonged to Pear Blossom, was about to end in the semi-finals...
...............
...............
Quartz Conference Semifinals!
Pear Blossom VS Greenery, Sixth Round!
The final game!
Rika sent out her last Pokémon, the heavily injured Crowhead. They didn't want to give up so easily; even if they lost, they wanted to lose with their heads held high!
With this belief instilled in them, Blue also recalled the heavily injured Rattata and sent out a new Pokémon, the Elite Four-level... Pidgeot!
The final game!
King-level Raven Leader VS King-level Pidgeot!
Sky Showdown!
...............
...............
"Screech!!!"
A long, piercing cry echoed, and a flash of white light streaked across the sky, appearing behind the leader of the crows at incredible speed.
A flash of light, and it struck the crow leader!
boom!
The crow fell from the sky and crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. It had already developed circular eye marks and lost its ability to fight.
At this point, all six of Rika's Pokémon were unable to battle, so the outcome of this match... was already decided!
"Pear Blossom's Crow Head is unable to fight, and Green's Pidgeot wins the match!"
"Since all six of Rinka's Pokémon are unable to battle, the winner of this Indigo League semi-final is..."
"The Green Warrior from Pallet Town!"
"It's here! The first finalist for the Quartz Conference has been determined! Congratulations to Bluegreen for advancing to the Quartz Conference Finals!!!"
As the referees and hosts announced and explained, enthusiastic applause and noise erupted, rippling across the venue like waves.
...............
...............
"Professor Oak, congratulations! Your grandson has successfully advanced to the finals..."
"Professor Oak, congratulations!" ×N
"..."
Above the venue, in the League's spectator stands, Lance, Lorelei, Cynthia, and Steven all congratulated Professor Oak (cdbg).
It's not just congratulations to Green for successfully advancing to the finals, but also to Pallet Town, because the moment Green defeated Pear Blossom to advance to the finals.
The Indigo League finals, the champion and runner-up of the Indigo League are already Pallet Town's for the taking; they've been reserved in advance.
"Haha, not at all, it's all thanks to Little Green's hard work..."
Professor Oak was overjoyed and gratified by Green's successful advancement and Pallet Town's sweep of the top two spots. He even stopped drinking tea and greeted everyone.
Pallet Town swept the top two spots – a sight we haven't seen in years, back when Professor Oak was still young...

in the venue.
Pear Blossom recalled the incapacitated Crow Head into its Poké Ball, then stood there somewhat stunned, staring blankly at the Poké Ball in her hand.
Although she lost the match, and lost decisively—six against four, or even just six against three, and without her opponent using their full strength—she still lost...
She lost completely and miserably, but for some reason, she felt a sense of relief at this moment. The strings that had been taut all before were relaxed at this moment.
This seemed to allow her to see her Pokémon's innermost feelings towards her, as well as its resentment and regret...
A dazzling and charming smile appeared on Pear Blossom's face. She was so beautiful, and at that moment she felt better than ever before.
(Let's keep trying and make up for this regret!)
With a clean and decisive turn, she walked into the exit passage.
...............
...............
at the same time.
On the opposite side of the stage, the contestant was dressed in green.
Successfully advancing to the finals was expected, but what made him even happier was that he would finally be able to face that guy again!
Qinglu slightly raised her head and glanced towards the North District, where a pair of crimson eyes followed her gaze.
Their eyes met.
A bright smile appeared on the green face, tinged with a hint of provocation, and the mouth opened silently.
"I'll be waiting for you in the finals!"
...........................................
304. Semifinals: Crimson vs. Azure, an internal battle between childhood friends! (Please subscribe to the full series!)
The next day, in the morning!
8:30!
The scene of the second semi-final match of the Quartz Conference.
"Good morning, everyone here and watching on screen! Welcome to the second round of the semifinals of this year's Quartz Conference!"
"Without further ado, let's welcome the contestants for the second round of the Indigo League semifinals. They are all from the renowned Pallet Town, and are..."
"One of the favorites to win the championship, who has fought his way through with overwhelming strength... Crimson Warrior!... And Azure Warrior, whose strength should not be underestimated and who also possesses the ability of Mega Evolution!"
The host's passionate narration ignited the enthusiasm of the entire audience, causing a wave of heat to rise in the morning sky, with cheers and applause erupting one after another.
"997"...
...............
Crimson and azure!
This pair of childhood sweethearts from Pallet Town finally met in the Indigo League semi-finals. Today, only one of them can step onto the highest stage of the Indigo League... the Grand Finals!
Everyone is looking forward to this showdown!
Professor Oak, Cynthia, Lorelei, Lance, and Steven in the League's spectator stands were all looking forward to this match.
Azure's strength has reached the level of a top-tier Elite Four member. In the quarterfinals, most of the six Pokémon it sent out were at the high or peak Elite Four level.
Furthermore, he also grasped the concept of momentum.
Not only that, she also possesses the mysterious power of Mega Evolution, which allows even Champion-level Kangaskhan to Mega Evolve, gaining strength comparable to Champions.
Everyone is very excited and interested in Mega Evolution...
...............
...............
And crimson...
Since the start of the tournament, he has only used six Pokémon: Nidoking, Poliwag, Dragonair, Butterfree, Haxorus, and Pikachu.
It appears that there are already six Pokémon, fulfilling the 6v6 all-player battle rule. However, given the current strength of the Indigo League, the only Pokémon truly capable of participating are the Elite Four-level Haxorus and the Pikachu whose strength is unpredictable but is at least Champion-level.
The remaining few, even those that have reached the Elite Four level, such as Butterfree in the early stages of Elite Four, are not qualified to participate in the quarterfinals.
The main reason was that Xiao Huang had some mental issues at the beginning of the game, and Crimson's command was indeed excellent, which allowed Butterfree to have a brilliant performance and defeat the high-level King of the Rings and the high-level Blazing Horse.
This is one of the reasons why Lorelei, Lorelei, and Steven, whom we later learned about, paid so much attention to Red: it allows Pokémon to make battle judgments that enable them to fight against opponents of higher levels.
Secondly, there's Pikachu, whose strength is impossible to discern. Given their current power, they can only hide their strength using some kind of gadget, making them undetectable to Pikachu.
The only other possibility is that they couldn't tell, and that is that they are also champions and have excellent control over their own energy and aura.
Only in this way can we evade their observation.
This means that the red Pikachu is definitely not simple, making them very much looking forward to seeing the true strength of the red Pikachu.
Professor Oak and Cynthia, who are familiar with Red Pokémon, especially Professor Oak, are not like Cynthia who only knows about Red's starter Pokémon Charizard. Professor Oak knows all the other Red Pokémon.
As for her strength, it's unclear. After all, since Nanami returned, she's been the one taking care of Red Pokémon, and even Professor Oak keeps it a secret.
Therefore, they were all eagerly anticipating the true power of Crimson!
