Reborn Pokémon: My childhood sweetheart is Xiaoguang.

Chapter 676 The Hidden Ninja Village, Three Ninja Brothers!

"You've done a great job, Centipede King."

Xiao Shen recalled the Centipede King, then walked up to Xiao Yun and extended his hand: "The senior of the advanced ball level is indeed amazing. It seems I still need to practice more."

Xiaoyun shook hands with him and smiled, "Your tactics are excellent. Accelerating Centipede King and then Mega Evolution will definitely make you an outstanding trainer in the future."

Ash rushed over, his eyes shining: "That was amazing! Both of them are so strong! I want to challenge them too!"

Clemont said helplessly, "Ash, calm down. They just finished fighting, it's not appropriate to challenge them now."

"I...I really want to find an opponent to fight."

Ash shook Clemont's shoulder, as if he were suffering from a battle hunger.

"Who is it?! Want to fight?"

A familiar voice, yet with a deliberately affected tone, suddenly rang out.

The group turned around at the sound and saw two figures standing by the rock wall not far away, their backs to them in what they thought was a cool pose.

One sported a signature head of blond hair, while the other crossed his arms, exuding an aloof aura.

"Who are you?"

Xiao Zhi blinked, clearly not recognizing him.

Upon hearing Ash's words, the blond-haired figure visibly trembled, as if he were holding back something.

"Ha, that's us..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiaoyun couldn't help but roll her eyes, interrupting the spellcasting:

"Ah Xun, stop pretending and turn around right now."

With your Saiyan-style blond hair, what are you pretending to be, some kind of mysterious person? Do you think he's an idiot?

"How can it be repaired?"

Enraged that his identity had been exposed, Ah Xun pointed at Xiao Yun like a husky pointing fingers:

"Don't you know how annoying it is to interrupt someone? You...you'll be fined for that!"

"A fine of ten thousand!"

This is Ah Xun, and the other figure goes without saying.

Sanping slowly turned around, glancing at Xiaoyun with a slightly resentful look in his eyes: "I agree with what Axun said."

They rehearsed their opening act for a long time.

"Hey, we're all buddies, no need to be so polite."

Xiaoyun walked forward with a grin and, without saying a word, wrapped her arm around Axun's neck, like a strong woman locking him up.

"Tell me, where did you come from? We're certain there's no one around here, or do you know how to teleport?"

Ah Xun was being strangled so badly that his eyes rolled back and his arms and legs kicked wildly.

"You...you fucking let me go! I can't breathe, you're trying to murder my husband...I mean, murder my best friend!"

"This deserves a fine! A fine of 100,000!"

Xiaoyun then realized what was happening, quickly let go, and even smoothed his frizzy hair.

"Sorry, long time no see. I'm a little excited, and my strength is a tiny bit greater."

"Phew, I'm alive again..."

Ah Xun was panting heavily, fixing her messy hair, muttering to herself.

"You still have no sense of boundaries..."

Seeing this lively scene, Xiao Shen knew it was time to leave, so he politely said goodbye to everyone.

"I won't bother you any longer, everyone. Until we meet again."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Yeah, Ah Xun, where did you guys come from?"

Xiao Zhi also came over and asked curiously.

Ah Xun quickly regained his smug look and pointed to the rock wall behind him:

"You guys are fighting right in front of someone's village, making such a commotion, the villagers are bound to come out and see what's going on."

Sanpei added, arms crossed:

"That's right, we thought it was another ninja village launching a sneak attack, and we almost activated our defenses."

"At the door? Where's the door?"

Xiaoyun looked up and down at the bare rock wall, her face full of disbelief.

"Here it is."

Sanping walked to the rock wall and seemingly casually patted a few protruding rocks in a specific order.

↑↑↓↓←→←→BABA!

Click!

A slight mechanical sound rang out, and the originally tightly sealed rock wall caved inward and then slid to one side, revealing a mysterious passage!

"Wow, there really is!"

Xiaoyun leaned closer to examine it, and even reached out to tap the rock wall next to her:

"Was it difficult for you to dig this? How long did it take? Did you hire a professional pangolin excavation team?"

Sanping was taken aback by the abrupt question and subconsciously scratched his head: "Um... I haven't thought about that yet, it's something passed down from my ancestors."

"Hey, hey, hey! Is that the important point?"

Ah Xun jumped up and down, "Don't you want to go in and take a look? It's a proper ninja village! Who in their right mind would care how hard it was to dig that hole!"

Did Arceus mold this guy's thought process with his foot?

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyun waved her hand and said, "Alright! Since you've invited me so sincerely, I'll mercifully accept your invitation!"

"It's you I've chosen, Ah Xun! Lead the way!"

Ah Xun: "…………"

How presumptuous of you.

Hikaru covered his mouth and chuckled: "Ninja village, that sounds quite interesting."

Yurika had changed into a small ninja outfit at some point, struck a hand seal pose, and looked on expectantly: "Are there many ninjas in the ninja village wearing ninja outfits, the kind who can fly over walls?"

Ash couldn't contain himself any longer and was the first to rush in: "Who cares! Let's go in first! I can already sense a lot of powerful auras inside!"

The group followed Ah Xun and Sanping into the passage.

The passage was dark but sturdy; after walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area.

The houses here are mostly wooden structures, built against the mountainside, layered upon each other, making clever use of the space. Some Pokémon dressed in simple ninja outfits.

"Welcome everyone to our village!"

Sanping opened his arms wide and proudly introduced his hometown to his friends.

BGM starts!

Northeast China is my hometown...

"Wow--!"

Ash and Bonnie exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"This place is amazing!" Ash's eyes lit up, as if he could see countless battle possibilities.

"Siggo! It's just like in the movie!" Yulijia exclaimed excitedly, looking around.

Xiaoyun looked at the houses built against the mountain and thought to herself, "The location of these houses will definitely give them an advantage in battle, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack."

That's really...so stylish.

Swish!

Just then, accompanied by a slight smoke effect, two figures appeared like ghosts, striking a standard ninja pose.

One of them was dressed in a dark blue elite ninja outfit, with sharp eyes and a calm demeanor.

The other person was wearing a similar ninja outfit, but in a lighter color, and had the same serious expression.

"Sanping, who are these people?"

The composed ninja spoke up and asked.

"Big brother, second brother!"

Sanping quickly stepped forward, "These are all friends I met when I was practicing my spiritual cultivation."

Sanping then introduced them one by one. When he introduced Xiaoyun, he added a special note:

“It’s very strong.”

The translation is: "Brothers, be careful, this guy's got some wild ways."

The two ninjas paused slightly, their gazes now fixed on Xiaoyun, clearly having noticed the commotion outside.

The two ninjas introduced themselves:

"I am Ippei, a Jonin from the village."

"I am Nihei, and I have just been promoted to Jonin."

Oh, so you're all Jonin.

Xiao Yun's damned, shrewish instincts kicked in again; he nudged Sanping beside him with his elbow:

"What kind of ninja are you now?"

“…Xiaoyun, you’ve been presumptuous.”

Sanping's gaze was filled with resentment.

So what if you're a genin? Being an amateur doesn't mean you're an amateur. Experts know that genin are the strongest.

To ease his younger brother's embarrassment, Sanping changed the subject, his gaze fixed intently on Xiaoyun:

"I've heard of you. You're a Pokémon Tournament Great Ball level trainer, right?"

"Huh?! You've leveled up to a high-level ball? When did that happen? I've never heard you mention it before!"

Upon hearing this, Ah Xun immediately flew into a rage, pointing at Xiao Yun while cursing.

We're brothers, of course we want you to be doing well.

But bro, aren't you living a little too well?

Xiaoyun touched her nose, looking relaxed and carefree: "Huh? Isn't this something you can do with your hands? You can just hit it and it'll come up."

"Don't you?"

"......"

The blond-haired guy felt like he'd been hit again, and he roared inwardly:

Anyone can do it? He's still struggling at the Superball level! You're just showing off!

That's definitely showing off!

Hearing this, Erping's fighting spirit intensified.

"Since I'm fortunate enough to have met a trainer of advanced ball level, would you be willing to offer some guidance?"

"I would like to see just how strong a trainer who can stand at that level truly is."

"Want to battle? Let's do it together! Mr. Ippei and Mr. Nippei, you two look incredibly strong too!"

Ash squeezed to the front, and his battle-crazed spirit ignited once more.

Ippei and Nippei exchanged a glance; they didn't dislike Satoshi's behavior.

As a ninja, honing one's skills by battling trainers with different styles is also part of the training.

Seeing this, Xiaoyun smiled and suggested, "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, how about we play a doubles game?"

"How about I team up with Ash and battle against Mr. Ippei and Mr. Nippei?"

"Okay! That's it!"

The two Jonin agreed.

The group moved to a battleground in the center of the ninja village; the field was a standard dirt field.

"Now that we've arrived at the ninja village, it's time to send it out. Go, Greninja!"

Xiaoyun threw the Poké Ball, and a black shadow swiftly landed.

It is a pure black Greninja frog, like a phantom of the night.

"Wow! It's a black Greninja!" Yurika exclaimed.

Serena also exclaimed, "What a unique color! It looks really cool!"

The moment this pure black Greninja appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of all three ninjas on the other side.

The three ninja brothers exclaimed almost simultaneously:

“Pure black…” Ippei’s eyes narrowed.

"Perfect for a ninja!" Nihei couldn't help but exclaim.

Sanping narrowed his eyes and muttered:

"Pure black color, and it can change its appearance at will, why didn't you manage to tame it, Ah Xun..."

Ah Xun, whose sore spot had been touched again, almost spat out a mouthful of blood and roared at Sanping:

"You're really bringing up the one thing you don't want to talk about! You'll get fined, you bastard!"

Is it that he doesn't want to subdue it? Well, he's already been subdued by the Squid King, okay?

Ippei also sent out his own Greninja, a Greninja that looked experienced and had a calm gaze.

Erping then sent out Venusaur, whose heavy body landed on the ground, bringing a powerful sense of oppression.

Ash's partner is naturally his Froakie: "I choose you, Froakie!"

The frog's eyes were resolute as it assumed a fighting stance.

Citron volunteered to act as referee:

"Alright, let's begin! Xiaoyun and Xiaozhi will team up against Yiping and Erping in a doubles match! The match begins!"

"Flying water shuriken!"

Almost simultaneously, Xiaoyun and Yiping issued the command!

The two Greninja frogs moved in perfect sync. With a flick of their wrists, several shuriken made of highly compressed water instantly took shape and flew out through the air!

Kaka!

The shuriken collided precisely in mid-air, canceling each other out, and the two gave the order at the same time!

"Iai hack!"

Two figures, one blue and one black, vanished from their original spot in an instant, transforming into two streaks of light that collided in the center of the arena.

Seeing this, Ash immediately took action: "Froakie, use Shadow Clone!"

The frog swayed and instantly created more than a dozen clones on the field, trying to confuse the situation.

However, Erping's voice rang out immediately afterward:

"Having too many clones only exposes the uncertainty of the original body."

"Venusaur, Razor Leaf! Full coverage attack!"

Venusaur let out a low growl, and the huge flower behind it trembled, sending countless sharp-edged leaves shooting out like green daggers.

The area is extremely large, covering all the areas where the frog's clones are located!

Swish swish--!

The flying leaf blade pierced precisely through the shadow clones, and each clone vanished like a bubble.

However, the actual object was not found.

"Now's the time, Froakie, use Iai Slash on Venusaur!"

Froakie's true form suddenly burst forth from its dissipated clone, crouching low as it charged rapidly toward Venusaur!

"Don't even think about it! Venusaur, Vine Whip!"

Erping calmly directed the operation.

Two thick, powerful vines, like giant green pythons, suddenly lashed out from Venusaur's back, striking the charging Froakie with lightning speed!

Caught off guard, the frog immediately changed its move when it saw the vine whip coming at it. It held the short blade that was being cleaved by the iaido attack in front of it and switched from offense to defense!

Bang!

With a muffled thud, the frog was forced backward by the immense force transmitted through the vine whip, a look of strain appearing on its face.

The battle continues!

The scene quickly escalated into a clash between two small battlefields.

Xiaoyun and Yiping's Greninja move at high speed in the field.

The shuriken duels and close-quarters hand-to-hand combat were dazzling.

"Secret attack on key points!"

I-Pin's Greninja mysteriously vanished from its spot, only to reappear behind it the next moment, its short blade slashing down fiercely with Dark-type energy.

Xiaoyun's lips curled into a smile: "I've been waiting for this! Swallow Return!"

With its attributes instantly switched, Greninja turned around in an incredibly flexible angle, meeting the incoming attack with a chop!

Bang! The energy collided, and the two frogs separated again.

When Ippe's Greninja failed to land its first attack, he immediately changed tactics, forming hand seals.

Smoke screen, the art of concealment!

Thick black smoke erupted from its hand in an instant, engulfing the area.

"Using smoke to conceal their operation? Too bad, it won't work on us!"

Xiaoyun smiled confidently and snapped her fingers:

"Shadow sneak attack!"

Attribute Switching Ghost!

Greninja's body blended into the shadow beneath its feet, as if gliding into water, ignoring the obstruction of the smoke screen, and directly dived into the shadow dimension to launch a backstab!

boom!

A muffled groan came from within the smoke, forcing it to stagger out of the smoke.

"Yan Hui!"

Greninja continued to follow, its body swaying in a Z-shape. Before the flat Greninja could even stand up, it was kicked away again.

"The ability to change freely is really troublesome."

Ippei frowned slightly. This ability to change attributes at will allowed him to deliver highly effective attacks each time.
