Chapter 9: Chapter - 9, Top 32
Seeing this, ash and the rest of the audience clapped for the person that surrendered rather that have is ego ahead of him, while some will say he should have not given up. But the saying still fight at a later instead of dying is for a reason.
Referee: very well, since Jason Druella has given up the winner of the Grass field is a Ash Ketchum.
While everyone clapped, we see ash Ketchum and Jason Druella could be seen shaking hands and walking out of the stadium while talking about the league and battle.
Ash POV –
After my battle I went to the Pokémon centre and gave Persian's Poke-ball to nurse Joy and as I was one of the first people to finish my 4 element field battles, I had to wait at least 2 days before I could know when my match is. After that, I went and waited and saw those that won, the matches and soon I went out and met up with Mom, Misty, Brock, Professor Oak and Gary. We talked and Gary and me were taunting each other. Soon time passed and me and Gary went to prepare for the Top 32. Soon I got a call in my cabin to come to the Pokémon Centre and I got to know my opponent for the Top 32 match is Jimmy kern from Valencia Island. And I checked his past official battles and his Gym battle to prepare and soon time came for me to fight him to coalify for the Top 16, soon I was in my waiting room, waiting for my announcer to call me. Then I heard it.
Announcer: Ash Ketchum, please report in your designated spot, your battle starts in 5 minutes.
As I heard that, I drank a glass of water and went to the stage and was ready for my battle.
