Chapter 28

Ash: "Why is there only one Squirtle? Where are the other Squirtles?"

Misty: "We met the Squirtle a year later than Dark Ash, so I think those Squirtles might not have been abandoned by their owners yet."

Brock: "That should be it."

Ash: "I really don't understand why those guys would abandon Pokémon! If they didn't like them, why did they catch them in the first place!"

Paul: "Hmph, if you don't catch them, how do you know if you like them? Besides, releasing Pokémon with no potential back into the wild is a very normal thing!"

Ash: "Normal? This is not normal at all!!!"

Paul: "Hmph, don't be so self-indulgent. Perhaps some Pokémon are dying to be released by their Trainers."

Some people are natural rivals. Paul spoke in the chat room for the first time and started arguing with Ash.

Misty: "Alright, alright, stop arguing. Can't such an exciting video shut your mouths?"

Under Misty's voice, the two calmed down.

(First update. Today there will be at least five updates. If rating tickets reach 400, add one update; if monthly tickets reach 20, add one update; if likes reach 20,000, add one update! Up to eight updates! So everyone with likes, monthly tickets, and rating tickets, hurry up and smash the author to death!)

45: Mysterious Pokémon appears, Ash is eager to move!

Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle—the Kanto trio have all been caught. Dark Ash's next stop should be the lighthouse by the sea.

Dark Ash, who arrived at the lighthouse a year early, can he meet that giant mysterious Pokémon?

If he meets it, can he see through the truth of the giant Pokémon?

The audience in the chat room, holding expectant hearts, continued to watch the video.

[Soft sandy beach, warm sunshine, blue sea—this is simply a god-given vacation spot.]

["How about we rest here for a few days before continuing on our way?" Misty originally said it casually. After all, there is a training maniac like Ash in the team; she expected Ash would definitely not agree.]

[Who would have thought that Ash didn't hesitate for even half a second and agreed to her request.]

[??????]

[What's the situation?! Hearing that Ash actually agreed to her vacation request, Misty was completely dumbfounded.]

["Training also needs a balance of work and rest. Excessive tension is not necessarily a good thing." Ash explained with a smile.]

[He is quite strict in his usual training, but his goal is to let the Pokémon become strong quickly, not to let them become freaks who only know how to train and battle. Except for training and battling, everyone also needs to live.]

["Hooray!!! Hooray for Ash!!! The swimsuit I prepared can finally be used this time!!!"]

[One day later.]

["So, Professor Bill, what are you doing here? Don't you have work to do?" Misty said.]

["Hahaha. Originally, I was entrusted by Professor Oak to come and see Ash. It just so happens you are having a party, so I came along." Bill, wearing beach shorts, stretched.]

["Sure enough, you can't always stay in the laboratory; your bones are almost rusting."]

["By the way." Bill pointed to "Lucario," who was killing it in the beach soccer game, "Is that Pokémon Mew?"]

[After getting an affirmative answer from Misty, Professor Bill looked envious, "I also want a Mew to accompany me."]

["In broad daylight, don't dream!"]

[During the vacation, Ash also encountered an interesting thing. A Krabby, only the size of a fist and estimated to be only two or three days old, clung to him. No matter how Ash shook it off, he couldn't get rid of it. Helplessly, Ash could only catch it.]

[Because the number of Pokémon he held was already full at 6, the Krabby was teleported back to the Professor's laboratory.]

["Do you want to exchange the Krabby back? I have a teleportation device in the laboratory at the lighthouse." Professor Bill asked.]

[Ash shook his head, "Forget it. This Krabby's physical condition is a bit bad. It's better to leave it at Professor Oak's laboratory to recuperate well; it's not too late to train it then."]

[Although they are both baby Pokémon, there is still a big difference between Krabby and Riolu when it was just born. If trained in the same mode, Krabby would probably go to see its great-grandmother on Crab Star in a few days.]

[After the vacation ended, Ash originally intended to go directly to Vermilion City, but Bill invited them to stay at the lighthouse for a few days. Ash originally wanted to refuse, but Bill threw him a reason he couldn't refuse—there is a mysterious Pokémon near Bill's lighthouse, a Pokémon unique in the whole world.]

[Another foggy night, Misty, who was responsible for observing the sea with binoculars, couldn't hold back her sleepiness.]

["Professor Bill, did you bring us here to be coolies?"]

[These past few days they have only been ordered around by Bill. As for the mysterious Pokémon, they haven't even seen a shadow.]

[Facing Misty's questioning, Bill called it a grievance. He wanted to repay the three for letting him see Mew, so he invited them to the lighthouse to find the mysterious Pokémon.]

[He has a sincere heart.]

["Shh, quiet. Something is approaching." Wolf-like intuition told Ash that a creature was approaching the lighthouse, and it was a quite terrifying creature.]

[Half a minute later, a mysterious Pokémon like a mountain appeared in the sea area near the lighthouse.]

[Rough observation, this Pokémon is at least 50 or 60 meters tall. The body like a small mountain brings pressure like a mountain.]

[Misty, Brock, Bill—at this moment, they couldn't even make a sound. Their eyes were fixed on this giant thing on the sea, and they couldn't bear to move them away for even a second.]

["Ah!!! Why is there fog today!!!" Misty was about to explode.]

[If there were no fog, they could get a glimpse of the mysterious Pokémon's true face.]

["The mysterious Pokémon won't appear on a night without fog. It deliberately chooses to appear on a night with thick fog, probably to hide itself." Professor Bill guessed.]

["Wuwuwuwu, my heart is itching like a cat's claw now." Misty really wanted to tear off the mysterious Pokémon's hazy veil, but unfortunately, she didn't have this ability at all.]

[Misty doesn't have the ability to tear off the veil, but someone on the scene does. Coincidentally, he also wants to see the mysterious Pokémon's true face.]

(Second update. Only 1 monthly ticket away from the required monthly ticket for the additional update, and only 20 away from the rating ticket. Brothers, add some oil. If you have any, please vote. Thank you all. Also, thanks to the big boss Frost Shadow QTM for the monthly ticket!)

46: Giratina, mysterious Pokémon appears! (Asking for likes, rating)

[Ding!]

[Enter the prize quiz segment.]

Ash in the video was just about to take action when the viewing system stopped the video and started the questioning segment.

[Question: What is the true identity of the mysterious Pokémon?]

[A: Groudon.]

[B: Gigantamax Duraludon.]

[C: Ancient Gengar.]

[D: Dragonite.]

[E: Regigigas.]

[F: Ditto.]

Once the quiz segment arrived, the chat room suddenly became noisy.

Cynthia: "I seriously suspect that the system is mixed among us, eavesdropping on our discussions. Options A and B are both things we discussed earlier."

Diantha: "Groudon and Gigantamax Duraludon have both been denied, so the correct answer should be among the four options C, D, E, and F."

Brandon: "E. The true identity of this shadow must be Regigigas. Only Regigigas has such amazing pressure and a body as tall as a mountain."

Steven: "Regigigas? That legendary Pokémon that can drag continents in legends?"

Brandon: "That's right, believe me, I won't let everyone down."

Agatha: "I choose C, Ancient Gengar. The latest research shows that Pokémon in the ancient period were as tall as giants. Combined with the characteristic that the mysterious Pokémon likes to appear at night and in foggy weather, its true identity must be Ancient Gengar!"

Gary: "Why not choose Ditto? This is the most normal answer, right? Ancient Gengar, legendary Pokémon Regigigas—these are all too ethereal. It's not that easy to meet such strange Pokémon. If you ask me, the true identity of this mysterious Pokémon is a Ditto that likes to play pranks."

Professor Oak: "Gary's analysis this time has a little bit of reason. I also choose F: Ditto."

Lance: "But, why do I feel like this guy looks a bit like Dragonite?"

Steven: "Lance, are you drunk? Is your Dragonite that big?"

Bruno: "Could it be caused by the Pythagorean theorem?"

Lorelei: "What you want to say is a mirage, right? However, don't mirages usually happen in the desert?"

Diantha: "It's really too difficult. I'll throw a die and pick one at random."

Amidst everyone's discussion, the answering time was all gone.

And the video that stopped playing started playing again.

[Ash took the Poké Ball of Pidgeot from his waist and summoned Pidgeot from the Poké Ball.]

["Pidgeot, Defog."]

[The Defog skill was originally used to clear the opponent's Light Screen, Reflect, Mist, and other skills in battle. However, it is just right to use it here.]

[Pidgeot spread its wings and flapped them frantically. A huge wind quickly struck, slowly blowing away the fog on the sea.]

[Pidgeot worked very hard; its wings were almost smoking. But the fog cleared was only within 5 zhang, which is about 15 meters. This is far from enough.]

["Thank you for your hard work, Pidgeot." Ash recalled Pidgeot, who became depressed because it didn't complete the task, into the Poké Ball, and then turned to look at Mew, "Please."]

["Mew."]

[Sigh, it still has to be it. If it weren't for it, this family would fall apart sooner or later.]
