Chapter 15

["I'm going out on a journey, Mew." Ash said with a smile.]

[Even though it was a parting, Ash didn't want to make it too sad.]

["Mew."]

[After learning that Ash and Pikachu were leaving, Mew's cry was no longer sweet.]

[Although it had lived in Pallet Town for four years, the only ones it could truly call friends were Ash and Pikachu. So upon learning that Ash and Pikachu were leaving Pallet Town, it couldn't help but feel sad.]

[Looking at the unhappy Mew, Ash couldn't bear it either.]

["How about you come out on a journey with us!"]

["Mew?"]

["Staying in Pallet Town all the time is meaningless. Don't you want to see other scenery?" Ash "coaxed."]

[Fun? Mew was clearly moved.]

Chat room.

Diantha: "Is Mew that easy to trick?"

Can he trick Mew onto the "boat" in just a few words?

Cynthia: "Easy to trick? You can go try. Mew is a Pokémon that can see through people's hearts."

If it weren't for the sufficient trust built over three years, see if Mew would even pay attention to Ash.

Lance: "If Mew also became Ash's Pokémon, wouldn't Ash be invincible?!"

Mew hadn't even joined the team yet, and Ash was already evaluated as a monster by Professor Oak. Once Mew joins the team, what will happen then?

Bruno: "Lance, your position as Kanto's number one is in jeopardy. I estimate that in less than a year, Ash will be able to kick you off the number one spot."

Lance: "Hmph, don't underestimate me, Lance. So what if it's Mew?! Is it shameful to lose to Mew?"

Lorelei: "To be honest, it's not very shameful."

Team Rocket headquarters base.

"Mew was just kidnapped like that?"

Giovanni can't say a word now.

How much effort did their Team Rocket spend to get Mew's eyelash? Look at Ash—he just kidnapped Mew into his team directly.

Indeed, comparing people to people, it's infuriating.

"It's okay, Boss. It's just Mew. It can't compare to Team Rocket's greatest work—Mewtwo."

Apollo comforted him.

Mewtwo?

Speaking of Mewtwo, Giovanni is even more depressed.

It's only been three months, and he hasn't even fully tapped into Mewtwo's potential, and this guy ran away. It didn't care about Team Rocket's creation grace at all; it's simply an ungrateful wolf.

[The first ray of morning sunlight shone into the window. With the help of his biological clock, Ash slowly opened his eyes.]

[Folding the quilt, brushing his teeth, washing up—after everything was packed, Ash woke Pikachu up.]

[After saying goodbye to Delia, Ash arrived at Professor Oak's laboratory.]

["Professor, good morning."]

["Good morning, Ash." Unlike the energetic Ash, Professor Oak looked particularly lethargic today.]

[Professor Oak yawned while handing a package to Ash.]

[Is it just a package for the Pokédex? Ash opened the package with doubt.]

[Pokédex, Poké Ball—besides these, there was also an egg with blue patterns in the package.]

[?]

[Ash looked at Professor Oak in surprise.]

["League rules state that only 10-year-old boys and girls can receive a starter Pokémon, so there's no way to give you the starters. Just use this egg as a substitute." Professor Oak said with a smile.]

["Take good care of him; this is something I spent a lot of effort to get."]

[In order to get this special Pokémon egg, Professor Oak rushed to Vermilion City overnight and took this egg from the Vermilion City Pokémon Center.]

[Looking at Professor Oak's deep dark circles, it would be a lie to say he wasn't moved. However, Ash is not someone good at expressing emotions; he firmly remembered the kindness in his heart.]

Gary: "Damn it, who is Professor Oak's grandson? Why do I feel like Grandpa treats Dark Ash better than he treats me!!!"

Professor Oak: "You can remove the 'why do I feel like' part."

Ash: "Accept your fate, Gary. Who told the Ash in the parallel world to be so excellent."

Gary: "Yo ho, what does the Ash in the parallel world have to do with you? Why are you panting?"

Steven: "Come, come, come, guess—what Pokémon is in the egg Professor Oak gave Ash?"

Wallace: "Blue patterns, it's very likely a Water-type Pokémon!"

Brawly: "Could it be Kyogre?"

Steven: "Do you even hear what you're saying?! If it really were Kyogre, let alone Professor Oak, even if the Heavenly King came, Nurse Joy wouldn't have been able to send this egg out!"

Diantha: "To be honest, I haven't seen a legendary Pokémon's egg."

Cynthia: "If the Pokémon in the egg really were Kyogre, everyone else shouldn't play. Just announce Ash as the world's number one Trainer and that's it."

Leon: "Hiss. I feel the pressure."

Lance: "I don't care what Pokémon this egg is now. What I care about most is whether Mew was really kidnapped by Ash."

Bruno: "Same as above."

(Everyone can guess what Pokémon's egg it is. And by the way, ask for a wave of likes, rating tickets, and monthly tickets.)

25: Ash's Ambition, Challenging Ho-Oh!

[Outside the Professor's laboratory, a petite and cute Ralts was already waiting for Ash.]

[Ash had just walked out of the Professor's laboratory when Ralts couldn't wait to "fly" onto Ash's shoulder.]

[Pikachu was on the left shoulder, and Ralts was on the right shoulder. One on the left and one on the right, they looked exactly like the two door gods.]

May: "Ralts? When did Ash catch Ralts!"

Max: "That cat-like Ralts, it looks like Mew transformed."

Roxanne: "If you say so, has Mew really become Ash's Pokémon?"

Gary: "Ahhhhhhh! Kill me! Why does Ash have a legendary beast!"

What makes Gary even more painful is that not only does the Ash in the parallel world have a legendary beast, the Ash in their world also has a legendary beast.

Wuwuwu, this viewing system is simply his lifelong enemy.

[After leaving Pallet Town, Ash also saw many wild Pokémon—Pidgey, Rattata, Spearow—but he didn't make a move to catch them.]

[A person's energy is limited, and the Pokémon they can take care of are also limited. Ash didn't want to catch Pokémon casually, so only when fate arrived would he make a move.]

[On the journey to Viridian City, Ash also encountered an interesting thing. He saw a group of Spearow bullying Pidgey on the road. Ash originally didn't intend to intervene, because this is the law of nature.]

[Pidgey are bullied by Spearow, Pidgeotto bullies Spearow, Fearow bullies Pidgeotto, Pidgeot bullies them back—it has been like this since ancient times.]

[But Pikachu, full of justice, couldn't stand the Spearow bullying the weak, and directly took action to beat more than a dozen Spearow into depression.]

[According to the Spearow's usual temper, it would definitely be 'hit the small, the old come; hit the old, the ancestors come out.' But this time, for some reason, the beaten Spearow actually ran away dejectedly and didn't go back to find a backer to retaliate.]

Misty: "What's going on? Did the Spearow in Pallet Town change their nature?"

Professor Oak: "The Spearow's personality is indeed irritable, but they are actually very smart Pokémon. They only bully the weak and never attack the strong—this is the survival rule of the Spearow. The short exchange already made them feel Pikachu's terror, so they didn't choose to go back and find help."

Ash: "Hmph, they learned to be smart this time. Otherwise, the me and Pikachu in that world would definitely have shown them!"

Brock: "But without the Spearow's assist, can Ash still see Ho-Oh?"

Morty: "Hey, hey, hey, are you guys being too greedy? Dark Ash already has Mew, and you're still thinking about Ho-Oh?"

[After teaching the Spearow a lesson, Ash was just about to leave when Mew moved.]

[It transformed into a giant blue bird with blue dorsal fins and flew into the sky.]

[On the other side of the sky, a mysterious giant bird shining with seven-colored light and wearing a crown on its head was slowly flying over.]

[A moment later, Ash and Pikachu looked up at "Lugia" and Ho-Oh in the sky, looking at each other.]

[Ash and Pikachu were still in shock when "Lugia" and Ho-Oh in the sky had already had an in-depth exchange. I don't know what "Lugia" said to Ho-Oh, but under "Lugia's" lead, Ho-Oh slowly flew toward where Ash was.]

["Mew."]

[The returning Mew transformed back into Ralts and returned to Ash's right shoulder again.]

["Mew." Mew made a cry as if asking for credit, as if asking, am I amazing?]

[Amazing, amazing, amazing to the point of explosion. If it weren't for Mew, Ash would never have dreamed that he could be face-to-face with the legendary Ho-Oh. At this moment, he was only half a meter away from Ho-Oh, and he could touch Ho-Oh if he reached out.]

Morty: "Kill me too!!!"
