Pokémon: Koga Ninja, Carlos Wins the Championship

Xiaozhi stood in the Kalos League finals, opposite Ai Lan's Mega Charizard - he hadn't won a single victory in three years. The whole place was silent when Pikachu fell, and a storm suddenly rose when Koga Ninja appeared. Ash took off his hat to suppress his heartbeat: "Bond evolution, Koga Ninja." Water pillars rose into the sky, and golden water shurikens gathered behind the Koga Ninja Frog. Ai Lan's bursting fire came crashing down, and Xiaozhi didn't dodge - the water shuriken split the fire column and penetrated the Charizard's chest. The smoke dispersed, Charizard de-evolved and knelt down, but Koga Ninja was still standing. "Champion of the Kalos League - Ash Ketchum!" Citron smashed the railing, Serena covered her mouth and cried, and Shota roared until he lost his voice. On the podium, Kalunai handed over the gold cup, and Ai Lan extended his hand: "I won't lose next time." Xiaozhi held his hand: "I don't plan to lose next time either." Pikachu jumped on his shoulder, and Koga Ninja stood behind him. The setting sun stretched five shadows - the champion's, the partner's, and the boy who cried and said "I must win" in Miare three years ago. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
