Chapter 107

Diantha: "Wait, I suddenly thought of something very important. Last time, after Ash and the others resolved the crisis in the Orange Islands, did they ever put Lawrence III in prison?"

Bruno: "Huh? Wasn't Lawrence III blasted to death by Lugia's Aeroblast?"

Lorelei: "No, this guy showed his face again at the end. His vitality is truly tenacious."

Erika: "The good die young, and the wicked live for a thousand years."

【"What should we do now?" Lorelei was anxious.】

【The island where she was born, Shamouti Island, was only 100 nautical miles away from Asia Island. If something happened to Asia Island, Shamouti Island would definitely not be spared.】

【"We have to go and save Moltres and Zapdos. Sigh, this is really a headache."】

【Slowking's head also began to ache. Why was it a Slowking and not a Slowpoke? If it were a Slowpoke, it wouldn't have to think so much and could just go back to sleep.】

【This matter was not so easy to handle. Even if they rescued Moltres and Zapdos from the mysterious person's hands, these two Pokémon would not let it go.】

【Their homes had been stolen; it would be strange if they just let it go.】

【But no matter what, let's save them first.】

【"The mysterious person's flying machine is heading toward Lightning Island," Slowking said.】

【"Lightning Island?" Ash didn't quite understand. Weren't the Zapdos already captured? Why go to Lightning Island?】

【"Damn it!!!"】

【Ash didn't understand what was going on, but Lorelei understood.】

【What else could Articuno be doing going to the island where Zapdos lived? It must be to fight for territory.】

【The people of the Orange Islands and the nearby islands all knew that these three legendary birds were never easy to get along with. Calling them gods wasn't out of worship, but out of fear of their strength.】

【"I'm heading to Lightning Island right now. Ash, Misty, Brock, I'll leave everyone on Asia Island to you," Lorelei requested solemnly.】

【Lorelei knew very well what kind of road lay ahead, so she had no intention of letting Ash and the others get involved in this mess.】

【"Only an excellent controller can calm the anger of the gods." Slowking stared at Lorelei for a while, then shook its head. "You are not an excellent controller."】

【"An excellent controller? Could the legend be true?" Melody and Carol gasped.】

【In that case, is the excellent controller Ash?】

【Slowking nodded. "That's right, he is the excellent controller."】

【"Don't joke around, he's still just a child!"】

【Lorelei was unwilling to let a 9-year-old child get involved in such big trouble.】

Archie: "Hmph, quite responsible, aren't you? If you ask me, it would be better to let Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno cause a scene. Let the ocean swallow the islands; that would be great!"

Maxie: "Are you brain-damaged? You traitor! The land is the hope of the world; only the vast land is the ladder for human progress. We must stop these three troublemaking Pokémon!"

Steven: "I beg you both, can you two lunatics stop talking? Go back to the sewers and live your lives!"

Lorelei: "Go study your Kyogre and Groudon properly; don't bother us with Kanto's business."

【Lorelei insisted on dealing with this disaster alone, but in the end, one sentence from Ash won her over.】

【"If the disaster really breaks out, it makes no difference whether it's on Lightning Island or Asia Island."】

【Lorelei heard this and realized he was right; if she failed to stop the disaster, Ash and the others would be dead anyway if they stayed on Asia Island.】

【"Then I'll sail the boat and take you to Lightning Island!" Captain Maren volunteered to help pilot the boat.】

【"I'm going too."】

【Melody and Carol said in unison.】

【"Hey, what are you going for?" Melody looked at Carol angrily. "Stay obediently on Asia Island."】

【"Then what are you going for, big sister?" Carol was unconvinced.】

【"The legend requires the shrine maiden to play the flute to calm the anger of the gods, so of course I have to go!" Melody said loudly. She had important things to do on Lightning Island, not go shopping.】

【"The shrine maiden must stay in the temple and wait for the excellent controller to retrieve the treasures of the three islands, then play the flute. Only then can the anger of the gods be calmed," Slowking said word by word.】

【"Treasures, what are those?!"】

【In the end, Melody and the Elder stayed at the temple, while Maren, Lorelei, and Ash formed a team to head to Lightning Island to stop the mysterious person and see if they could find the Lightning Orb.】

【Carol, Misty, and Brock formed a team to retrieve the orbs from Fire Island and Ice Island.】

【After the tasks were arranged, both sides took action immediately.】

Misty: "Why does Dark Ash have to be in a team with Lorelei?"

Lorelei: "Heartbroken. Misty, you used to call me Master Lorelei, now you just call me Lorelei."

Master Lorelei? It's already good enough that I don't call you an old woman now.

The Lorelei of the parallel world seems interested in Dark Ash; perhaps the Lorelei of their world is also interested in Ash, so she has to be on guard.

Kalos Region, Vaniville Town.

Can't guard against it, absolutely can't guard against it. The number of girls Ash meets during his travels is countless; there's no way to guard against all of them.

Serena has a terrible toothache right now.

Of course, it's not all bad news. The good news is that Ash is an emotional idiot and doesn't seem to have any interest in girls.

If he has no interest in girls, does that mean he won't have much interest in her either?

Ahhhhh, is this good news or bad news!

"Hmm, this is neither good nor bad news." After careful thought, Grace gave her answer.

Back in the chat room, someone also answered Misty's confusion.

Steven: "That's obviously because Dark Ash has combat power!"

Lightning Island is currently gathered with the three legendary birds, and Lawrence III is there too, so we definitely need someone with high combat power to go to Lightning Island.

As for Ice Island and Fire Island, there is basically no threat, so letting Misty, Brock, and Carol go is enough.

Daisy: "Misty, if you were stronger, you would be the one going to Lightning Island with Dark Ash right now."

Violet: "That's right, you need to find the reason within yourself. Are you not working hard enough?"

Lily: "You have to work harder. How can you be so lazy? You need to improve your strength as soon as possible."

Misty: "Do you three have the right to talk about me?"

The three of them together couldn't even beat a novice trainer, yet they dared to mock her for not being strong enough. Misty was truly furious.

【When Ash and Lorelei arrived at Lightning Island, they happened to see the mysterious person's flying machine attacking Articuno.】

【They originally thought Articuno would be captured by the mysterious person just like Moltres and Zapdos, but what they never expected was that an accident occurred.】

【Articuno escaped from the flying machine's capture, and in a fit of rage, it launched a fierce attack on the flying machine.】

【This specially made flying machine was excellent in terms of attack, and even when facing the three legendary birds, it could defeat the enemy in one blow by surprise, but defense was not its strong suit.】

【Missing the first strike, the only result awaiting it was destruction.】

【Under Articuno's bombardment, the flying machine fell from the sky.】

【After losing a large amount of energy, Moltres and Zapdos also escaped from their imprisonment. Now things were getting lively.】

Lawrence III: "How is this possible? How is this possible!"

Lawrence III originally thought that his parallel world self was about to complete the great achievement he hadn't finished, capturing all three legendary birds, and maybe if he was lucky, he would capture the Sea God Lugia next.

Then he would have no regrets.

But who would have thought that reality would slap him hard in the face.

110: Dark Ash hammers the three legendary birds with his hands, this is the Super True Newcomer!

Reality told him that even without Ash and the others causing trouble, he had no way to achieve his plan.

The Sea God—Lugia, was not meant for him.

Lawrence III: "My life is too miserable!!"

Lance: "Miserable? There's an even more miserable life waiting for you after you go to prison!"

Lawrence III: "Wait, I haven't done anything yet, you have no right to arrest me!"

The things were done by his future self and his other-world self; he was innocent.

Lorelei: "Innocent? I don't believe a guy like you wouldn't cause trouble. Don't you claim to be a collector? Are the Pokémon you 'collect' from clean origins?"

Bruno: "Heh, that's just a nice way of saying it; in fact, this guy is just a poacher."

Lawrence III was so retorted that he didn't know how to respond. Lorelei and Bruno understood him a bit too well; damn it.

【"Should we save him?" Ash pointed at Lawrence III, who had been frozen into an ice sculpture by Articuno, and asked.】

【Lorelei gave a cold smile. "Let him suffer a bit first; we'll consider whether to save him after we solve the trouble."】
