Chapter 360 Departure, Battle of Wise Lake!
P.S.: This chapter is a two-part summary, so it's a bit rushed and has more typos. I spent the whole day in the office having team building activities and didn't get back until 11 pm. I had to write quickly to make sure I had enough time. I even squeezed in 1500 words at a dinner party. I was forced to drink a lot, so my brain just couldn't keep up. Please be understanding! QAQ~!
"What kind of mess is this?!"
Finally, with Brock's explanation and Ash's strange gaze, Dawn finally understood the whole story.
"I didn't say that at all!"
Upon learning that someone else had beaten him to the event he was supposed to participate in, Xiao Guang was devastated.
Why? I was here first!
After realizing that he had caused this situation himself, Xiao Guang had a bellyful of grievances but couldn't express them.
And that person looks exactly like me! She's even a princess?!
How on earth did they win?!
Even Hikari himself wouldn't believe that the other person had absolutely no feelings for Satoshi.
The problem is that being trapped in the castle is too boring and depressing.
No matter how bored or depressed a girl is, how could she possibly go on a dating show with a guy she's just met?
Even if I participated based on my own appearance, it wouldn't be possible, since these kinds of shows require close contact between men and women.
The thought of someone using her appearance to have such close contact with Xiaozhi made Xiaoguang feel like ants were crawling all over her body, and she felt extremely uncomfortable no matter how she thought about it.
"What exactly happened to Xiaoguang?"
Xiao Zhi really couldn't understand what was going on. It was Xiao Guang who had agreed to it, and Xiao Guang hadn't planned to participate in the show in the first place.
Is it because you feel a little angry that your identity was used to participate?
Ah, I see! Xiao Zhi suddenly understood!
Even though he knew this, Ash didn't know how to comfort Hikari, who was curled up in the corner.
"What am I doing... Why didn't I accept it... My life is over..."
Xiao Zhi: "..."
I don't understand at all.
Although he was reborn and returned to the past, Xiao Zhi still couldn't figure out what girls were thinking, whether in the past or the present.
Seemingly noticing the awkward atmosphere on the field, Brock suddenly clapped his hands and asked, "Speaking of which, Ash, when is your all-out battle with Shinji going to start? It should be about time, right?"
"?!"
Dawn's ears perked up at the mention of Ash's All-Round Battles.
"It's about to begin. Tomorrow we'll be facing Shinji in a full-scale battle."
Yes.
Although he missed the battle at the Crack Point Gym, what was more important to Ash was not the gym battle, but this all-out battle against Paul.
It's just a bit of a shame that I didn't get to participate in the TV show filming with Ash.
Thinking about it this way, my mood, which had been somewhat uplifted, suddenly seemed to turn sour again.
In order to build up some psychological defenses, Xiao Guang still wanted to ask Miss what exactly she and the princess who looked exactly like her had done during the filming of the show.
"Actually, it's nothing much, it's just that—"
"Nothing's wrong! Really, nothing's happening!"
Ash was about to answer a second ago, but Brock covered his mouth the next second.
"Xiao Zhi and I still have some things to do, let's wait a bit."
"Huh? When will it be available—"
"Shut up!"
This time, Xiao Gang refused to listen to Xiao Zhi's suggestion and pulled Xiao Zhi away with a forceful tug.
Xiao Guang was left standing there hesitantly. She knew that if she missed this opportunity, she would never have another chance to ask about it.
I will never watch TV again!
Xiao Guang silently made this decision in his heart.
After all, out of sight, out of mind, and you won't feel upset.
Xiao Guang stood silently in place, gazing at the two figures who had already disappeared into the distance. Only she knew what she was thinking.
……
Meanwhile, at the Galaxy team's base.
Chi Ri's gaze was sharp and unwavering, his eyes devoid of any color as he silently stared at the report in his hands.
"You bastard!"
Chi Ri slammed all the documents in his hand onto the ground.
"How dare he take on other requests during this critical time, and then fail and even get arrested by the Sinnoh League!"
Chi Ri was completely unable to describe the anger in his heart.
If things continue as they are now, they are almost there to make their plan a success.
However, without Hunter J's help, their strength has been reduced by about one-third.
If their overall strength were reduced by one-third, it wouldn't be so bad. The main problem is that they've lost one-third of the people who could help shift firepower. As a result, when they move their forces and conduct guerrilla warfare around the three lakes, they will be greatly restricted by the Alliance.
"Damn it!"
Chi Ri rubbed his eyes, barely managing to suppress the anger in his heart.
Then, Chi Ri regained his usual gentle expression, looked at his kneeling subordinate, sighed deeply, and asked this question.
"Did that foolish Pokémon hunter actually complete the task we initially assigned him?"
The wood is done.
No matter how angry or how much you complain, you can't change the fact that you're at a disadvantage.
The only thing he needs to be sure of now is whether that guy has fulfilled his requirements. If the plan is completed, he still has a chance to turn the tables.
But if she fails to complete even that most basic task, he will have no chance of winning.
What goals, what dreams?
Everything you've dedicated your whole life to will vanish into thin air at this moment, disappearing from your life.
"Yes, Plan ABC, Hunter J's men completed it yesterday, and now our plan has reached its final stage."
Seemingly sensing that his boss's mood had improved at this moment, the subordinate quickly put on a smile and said this to him.
"That's alright. I almost thought that teaming up with the idiots in the Hunter Organization was the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life."
Akari's mood improved slightly.
Plan ABC.
The plan is to drop three bombs into three lakes to force out the three Pokémon, and then capture them all at once.
Once we get our hands on all three Lake Pokémon, then our plan to catch Dialga and Palkia will definitely proceed smoothly.
just wait.
Chi Ri clenched his fists, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
This time, he is determined to realize his dream and reshape the world.
……
After confirming that Hunter J had been arrested, Team Galactic also began to take other actions.
However, neither the League nor Ash noticed the little tricks Team Galactic was up to; they were simply continuing with their work and travel plans as usual.
As for when the direct confrontation with Team Galactic will take place.
Of course, it will start whenever we meet.
Ash and his friends aren't part of the League's official organization, so Cynthia can only ask Ash for help once or twice, not every time.
After Ash battled with Xiaosong this time, Xiaosong did not reveal that she was keeping an eye on Hunter J, even though she knew that Ash was now practically a member of the League.
It was thanks to Shiro, who trusted Ash implicitly, that he secretly told Ash about this after battling him and asked for Ash's help.
Otherwise, putting aside everything else, Hunter J's spaceship alone would be enough to pose a considerable threat to them.
Even with six legendary Pokémon, God Age still couldn't suppress Hunter J's power.
Not to mention that when Hunter J tried to escape, neither Ash nor Satoshi could catch him. It was only because Ash was standing outside early on, using Aura to observe Hunter J's every move, that he was able to escape so easily. Otherwise, if Hunter J had escaped so easily, he might have led a completely new team to make a comeback in the final battle between the League and Team Galactic.
The capture of Hunter J was widely reported by the League and spread to every household in just one day.
As one of the key figures in capturing Hunter J, Ash once again enjoyed the privilege of being featured on the front page of various magazines and at the beginning of television programs.
Ash's popularity in the Sinnoh region quietly reached an astonishing level without him even realizing it.
Many people don't even know Cynthia, the champion of the Sinnoh region, but as soon as Ash is mentioned, they know that he comes from Pallet Town and even has a Pikachu with him.
Such popularity might be considered quite good for the average person.
However, for Ash, this seems to have caused a little trouble in some aspects.
"Ash? A trainer?"
In a small town, a trainer dressed in a slightly "trendy" style is quietly studying all the information about Ash.
And his name is—Dakto.
He was concerned about the news and his opponents.
He wasn't particularly interested in such news, since he believed he would win the final league tournament no matter what.
Even if all the gym leaders combined, they couldn't force him to summon his second Pokémon, let alone the trainers participating in the League Tournament.
The only things he cares about here are the Four Heavenly Kings and the Champion.
After all, after he successfully won the league tournament, his opponents would be them.
But today, finally, there's news about a trainer that's enough to catch his attention.
After Ash Ketchum became popular again, the news about him went far beyond what was on the surface.
Even the story of Ash catching Darkrai on Iron Island spread from Canal City to the outside world in an instant.
Almost all trainers who are going to participate in the League Tournament know that two people will be using legendary Pokémon in this year's tournament.
One is Dakto.
The other person is Ash.
"This is really interesting. If it's this boy, maybe he can force out my second Pokémon and let me have a little more fun."
Subdue Darkrai.
Regardless of whether that Darkrai is strong or weak.
As long as the Darkrai black hole cannot be cracked, it is impossible to defeat it.
The question is, how exactly did Ash manage to break Darkrai's black hole?
This is the issue that troubles Dakdo the most.
Ash has shown all his Pokémon, from the Kanto region to the Sinnoh region, to Darkrope.
When reviewing past videos, the only Pokémon that could make Darkrope wary were Sceptile, Charizard, Pikachu, and Snorlax.
But can these four Pokémon really defeat Darkrai?
Dakdo couldn't come up with an answer on his own for the time being.
So he just chuckled and stopped thinking about it.
Ash couldn't imagine how the battle between Ash and the wild Darkrai would go. Perhaps he would just rely on his Pokémon's special power, such as waking them up immediately when they fell asleep, and then using a powerful move to instantly defeat Darkrai.
"I'm really looking forward to it. I hope you won't let me down this time in the League Tournament."
Dakdo lowered his head contentedly, muttering to himself.
Having spent so many years collecting his complete legendary Pokémon lineup, he didn't believe he would be defeated by Ash.
At least he was certain that his Darkrai would not be defeated by Ash's four Pokémon.
Even before the location for this year's Sinnoh League has been finalized, undercurrents are already swirling.
.......
The next day arrived.
The sealing event was over, and Brock and Dawn followed Ash, walking slowly along the way. It didn't take them long to reach Lake Wisdom.
I just arrived here, and there's still an hour until the agreed time.
Shinji hasn't come yet, and Asuna, who said she would definitely come along, is nowhere to be seen.
Both of them completely disappeared from Celeste City yesterday. Ash searched every street and alley in Celeste City, but he couldn't find any trace of them no matter what he did.
But Xiaozhi didn't believe that anything could happen to the two of them.
Um.......
Ah Xun might get into trouble.
But Shinji will definitely be alright.
In addition to the Elite Four and the Champion, there's also Darkroc and Age of the Gods, who recently left the Sinnoh region.
Ash doesn't believe there are many more people who can defeat Shinji, even though he has just suffered a major defeat.
"Is this Lake Wisdom? It doesn't seem much different from the other two lakes."
The group walked around Ruizhi Lake for a while, but apart from the hazy water vapor, Xiao Guang didn't find anything special about it.
If I had to say something, I'd say the environment is quite beautiful.
Of course, if it were a normal Xiaoguang, she would definitely like such a hazy environment.
But Xiao Guang is still unable to get over the "shadow" incident that he only learned about yesterday.
When you're in a bad mood, you naturally won't find your surroundings pleasant.
