Chapter 35

【Seeing the usually lively and cheerful Misty become so powerless, Ash's heart shattered all at once.】

【He slowly helped Misty up, looked into Misty's eyes, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Misty, I won't let them hurt the Tentacool."】

【It's time to make the evil Old Lady Dervish and these trainers who only care about money pay the price.】

Drake: "No, no way, Ash hasn't turned dark, has he? Don't, Ash, spare these trainers!"

Bruno: "Right, right, Ash, just teach them a lesson; don't take their lives."

Lorelei: "Killing is against the law."

Drake, Bruno, and Lorelei panicked.

They admired and were optimistic about Dark Ash's future; they didn't want to watch Dark Ash go astray.

55: Will Dark Ash choose to let Butterfree go?

Kalos region, Vaniville Town.

"So, so romantic."

If she could be held in the arms of her crush, Ash, like Misty in the video, how wonderful that would be.

"Stop being lovesick; your face is about to burn up." Grace couldn't help but complain. "I wasn't so lovesick when I was young; how did I give birth to such a lovesick daughter?"

"Hmph. You don't know how good Ash is yet. If you knew, Mom, you might not perform better than me."

Serena argued back.

"Heh. Your mother isn't interested in any man. I just want to be the world's greatest Rhyhorn racer." Grace sneered.

Only children think about love all day; adults like her have higher pursuits.

【Ash called Mew over and whispered into Mew's ear.】

【"Hee hee hee hee." After hearing Ash's plan, Mew let out a sly laugh. It was also very unhappy with Old Lady Dervish and those trainers who only cared about money, so it would let it teach them a good lesson.】

【"Too simple, too simple, making money is really too simple!!!"】

【"Yeah, yeah, after completing this commission, the travel expenses for a year will be in hand. Sigh, it's a pity, if there were more tasks like this, it would be great."】

【"Don't dream, it's good enough to have one. Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and catch them; there are too many Tentacool here, we can't catch them all."】

【The trainers who were catching Tentacool wantonly in the sea were blinded by money and didn't realize the danger approaching.】

【By the time they realized something was wrong, it was already too late. A Tentacruel the size of a small mountain emerged from the seabed.】

【It ruthlessly waved its tentacles, whipping everyone in its field of vision.】

【In less than five seconds, a vacuum zone had been cleared in front of the giant Tentacruel. Within a radius of tens of meters, not a single person could be seen.】

【"Were those people killed by Mew?" Brock asked with wide eyes.】

【"Don't worry, it's just to make them suffer a bit; there's no danger to their lives." Ash told Brock to relax; he and Mew weren't murderous demons, how could they kill everyone.】

【These people were all teleported away by Mew using psychic powers. As for where they were teleported to, only Mew knew the answer.】

【They panicked. The trainers who were just thinking about getting rich suddenly panicked. What kind of monster was this? They couldn't deal with such a monster.】

【They didn't care about anything else; they threw away everything they could and rushed to the shore for their lives, fearing that if they ran slowly, they would be eaten by the monster on the sea.】

【"Don't be afraid, it's just a bigger jellyfish; there's nothing to be afraid of. Everyone work together, and we will definitely be able to defeat it." Old Lady Dervish shouted on the shore with a megaphone.】

【Bigger? You call this Tentacruel just a little bigger?】

【Yes, the trainers gathered here were all greedy for money, but no matter how much money there is, you have to be alive to spend it. They all saw that scene just now; in just five seconds, more than a dozen people were eaten by that Tentacruel.】

【They didn't want to repeat the same mistake.】

【"It's over, it's completely over."】

【Watching the giant Tentacruel destroy the luxury floating restaurant she had worked so hard to build, Old Lady Dervish sat on the ground in despair.】

【Her life was over. With debts like a mountain, she would never be able to pay them off in this lifetime.】

Juan: "The matter is perfectly solved; the home of the Tentacool has been taken back. This is really great."

Wallace: "With Mew turning into a giant Tentacruel and making such a scene, no one will ever dare to pay attention to the Tentacool's habitat again."

Steven: "Dark Ash's brain is really bright; one move and the matter was perfectly solved."

Chairman Goodshow: "Ahem, well, Ash's original intention was good, but it was still too reckless. You still have to trust the League, trust the officials."

Gary: "But isn't it precisely because the official path didn't work that Ash let Mew take action?"

Gary muttered in a low voice.

Chairman Goodshow: "..."

【After successfully rescuing the Tentacool at the yacht harbor, Ash took a ferry to Maiden's Peak.】

【Different from the original plot, the Gastly that liked to bewitch people didn't target Ash and the others this time.】

Ash: "Hey, why, why didn't Gastly make a move on us from the parallel world?"

They were targeted by that thousand-year-old Gastly as soon as they arrived at Maiden's Peak.

That experience definitely couldn't be called wonderful; even now, Ash still has lingering fears when he thinks about it.

Agatha: "Gastly is a very smart Pokémon. Generally speaking, it only makes a move on the weak."

Flannery: "Thinking about it, if that Gastly didn't have a good eye, it would have been caught by someone long ago after staying at Maiden's Peak for so many years."

Diantha: "Hahaha, Ash, Misty, Brock, Gastly personally identified you as the rookie trio."

Jessie: "Hahaha, little girl, just admit it, your strength is really poor."

Meowth: "Hey, Jessie, what are you proud of? You have to know that it wasn't just them who were targeted; we were targeted too, Meow."

James: "Woooooo, I was treated so miserably by that Gastly!!!"

【Leaving Maiden's Peak, Ash and the others rushed to Saffron City without stopping.】

【In the canyon ten kilometers away from Saffron City, they also saw the Butterfree from the eve.】

【Butterfree dancing in the sky under the sunset, the three of them were also immersed in this rare beautiful scenery.】

【At this time, Misty suddenly said: "Ash, if you had a Butterfree, and it met its sweetheart here, would you let it leave?"】

Cynthia: "Actually, I'm also quite curious about what Dark Ash would do if he encountered the same scene as Ash."

Diantha: "I think Dark Ash would definitely let Butterfree leave. Don't look at how strict he is with Pokémon in training; he is actually a very kind boy."

Drake: "No, no, no, I have a different opinion. I think Dark Ash would never let a Pokémon he raised himself leave. A Pokémon raised from childhood, letting it go, Dark Ash would definitely be reluctant."

Lorelei: "But what can you do if you don't let it go? Since ancient times, love and friendship are hard to have both."

【"It depends on the situation. If my Butterfree is lovesick and just wants to elope with someone, then I will never stop it."】

【If a Pokémon is determined to leave him, with his personality, he would definitely not obstruct it. Just because of a Pokémon it just met, it wants to abandon the trainer who grew up with it—such a Pokémon is useless to keep.】

【"But what if Butterfree is reluctant to part with you, but also wants to be with the girl? What would you do then?" Misty continued to ask.】

【Ash didn't answer immediately, but asked back: "Does Butterfree have to go to the other side of the sea to lay eggs and have children? Can't it raise children and have children here?"】

【"Uh, it should be possible." There are also a large number of Caterpie in Viridian Forest, so Butterfree can definitely have children here.】

【"Why must my Butterfree sacrifice? Why must it go to the other side of the sea with her? Can't she stay for my Butterfree?"】

【"If she likes battling, I can train her just like I train my Butterfree. If she doesn't like battling, I can let her stay at Professor Oak's research institute, and I can help her build a happy little home there."】

Misty: "Oh right, Ash, why didn't you catch that pink Butterfree back then?"

Ash: "I, I, I didn't think of it."

Ash was about to cry. How could he not have thought of such a win-win solution.

Thinking that he could have stayed with Butterfree all along, but he messed it up himself, Ash wanted to slap himself twice.

At this time, Ash's mother, Delia, also came to add insult to injury.

Delia: "The greenhouse we use for growing flowers is actually quite suitable for Butterfree to use as a bridal chamber."

Drake: "In terms of strength, our Ash can't compare to Dark Ash. I didn't expect Dark Ash to also crush Ash in terms of IQ."

Ash: "Woooooo, stop talking."

Ash's heart was now cold.

But what's the use of regretting now? It's too late.

【After leaving the canyon, the three of them finally arrived in Saffron City.】

【"Ash, are you really going to challenge the Saffron Gym?" Misty said nervously. "I heard that the Gym Leader of Saffron Gym, Sabrina, has a very strange personality. Many challengers went into the Saffron Gym and never came out. Rumors outside say that Sabrina is a man-eating devil."】

【"It, it, it can't be that scary, right?!" Brock's feet started to tremble.】
