Chapter 48

[Ding!]

[Entering the prize-winning quiz segment!]

Just then, a question appeared on the big screen.]

[Question: In the White World, how did the Dragonair learn Dragon Dance?]

[A: Same as the Black World, taught by Mew.]

[B: No one taught it; after a year, it learned by itself.]

[C: Taught by other Dragonairs on Dragonite Island.]

[D: Taught by other Dragonites on Dragonite Island.]

[E: Taught by Ash personally.]

Wallace: "Good! Another one down; three more quizzes and I'll be able to get out of jail!!!"

Steven: "The White World, that's our world, and this should be something that happens in the future, right?"

Phoebe: "To be able to observe even the future, the viewing system is simply too awesome. By the way, system, may I ask, did I become the Champion of Hoenn in the future?"

Wallace: "Oh my, Phoebe, are you, a thick-browed and big-eyed person, also going to betray me?"

Sidney: "The world of Hoenn has suffered under you and Steven for too long!!! Hurry up and give up the Champion position!"

Glacia: "Wallace, if you resign as Champion, I can take over as the next Champion."

Drake: "Although I am old, I can still eat five bowls of rice in one sitting; I can be Champion too."

Wallace: "Rebellion, everyone is rebelling."

Steven: "Hey, can you stop wasting time? Hurry up and answer the question, otherwise the rewards will be snatched by others."

Phoebe, Sidney, Glacia, Drake: "Ah?! Right!"

Lance: "Then this question must be B. Where is there such a thing as a Dragonair that can't fly? When Dark Ash met the Dragonair, it had probably just evolved not long ago, its skills weren't proficient enough, so it couldn't fly. In fact, as long as you wait for the Dragonair to get a little older, it will learn to fly on its own without anyone teaching it."

Bruno: "Lance, you make some sense this time; I support you."

Leon: "A, taught by Mew. My sixth sense tells me that A is the correct answer."

Hop: "Are you sure, big brother? Is your sixth sense accurate?"

Leon: "Believe in me!"

Bea: "C, definitely choose C. Dragonairs usually play with other Dragonairs; it must have been taught to fly by its companions."

Professor Oak: "Why is there an option for Ash? Could it be that our Ash also went to Dragonite Island in the future?"

Gary: "That's probably it. Ah, it's so enviable; why can't I go to Dragonite Island!"

Gary gritted his teeth; he wanted to turn his grief into strength. He had to win this question.]

But what should he choose?]

Gary: "Whatever, I choose E."

Brock: "Hey, Gary, did you choose wrong?"

Gary: "Don't worry about me, I've got inspiration."

Brock: "..."

Alder: "I choose E too. Sometimes, the answer everyone thinks is the most outrageous is often the correct one."

Cynthia: "Mr. Alder, continue living in your dreams; I choose D."

Soon, the time for answering ended.]

The special big screen appeared again. As the screen slowly brightened, the video began to play.]

[To let the Dragonair learn Dragon Dance, Ash had Pikachu lay out an electric net on the ground.]

[After the electric net was laid out, Ash began his performance. He jumped onto the electric net without hesitation, and the strong current numbed Ash directly. The first attempt failed.]

Lance: "Ah? Can anyone tell me what Ash is doing?"

Bruno: "I have no idea, but I'm deeply shocked. This physical condition is too explosive. Electric resistance MAX."

Korrina: "There is a gap between humans; sure enough, I'm still far behind Ash. I have to keep working hard."

70: Eternatus, Gigantamax Pikachu VS Giant Dragonite!

Maylene: "Hard work? Can hard work be useful? Forget it, Korrina, Ash's talent is not something we can compare to."

Maylene could see that Ash's physical fitness was at an explosive level; they could train for a lifetime and never reach it.]

Sigh, some people want to go to Rome, but some people are born in Rome.]

Cynthia: "Can anyone tell me, can this really teach it Dragon Dance?"

Lance: "I-I haven't tried it."

It's not just that he hasn't tried it; in the whole world, besides Ash, no one would try it this way.]

Bruno: "Is this the gold content of a Pallet Town native?"

Gary: "Cough, cough, not everyone in Pallet Town can do this. To be precise, only Ash has this physical fitness and such a stubborn head."

Serena: "A-Ash, doesn't it hurt? Won't you be numbed by the electricity?"

Serena was heartbroken.]

Ash: "What's painful about this? I've already gotten used to being shocked by Pikachu; this little bit of electricity is nothing."

Misty: "Hey, don't show off about things like this, okay?"

Once it didn't succeed, the audience thought Ash would give up, but who knew, they all underestimated Ash's stubbornness.]

[The second time, the third time, finally the Dragonair was also infected by Ash, and it followed Ash onto the trampoline made of the electric net.]

[What's even more incredible is that the Dragonair actually learned Dragon Dance on the "trampoline" and successfully flew into the blue sky.]

Obviously, the correct option for this quiz is E!]

Bruno: "Ash, Ash, I shouldn't have doubted you! I should have chosen you!!!"

Lance: "Who could have thought, who could have thought!"

Bea: "This time I'm really convinced; Ash, I'm willing to call you the strongest."

Gary: "Finally, finally it's my turn; I, Gary, am going to stand up!"

Alder: "I-I also chose correctly! Hahahaha!"

[Ding!]

[The top three correct answers for this prize-winning quiz are Alder, Gary, and a bye.]

[Congratulations to the two contestants for winning the rewards.]

[Contestant Alder, reward: One resurrection opportunity. (Allows a departed Pokémon to return from the Spirit World.)]

[Contestant Gary, reward: Tyranitar.]

After seeing the reward Alder received, everyone in the chat room exploded.]

Lance: "Resurrection? Did I read that right? Can the viewing system really bring the dead back to life?"

Cynthia: "Resurrecting a dead Pokémon—even the Creator God Arceus couldn't do that, right? What exactly is the viewing system?"]

Diantha: "If you don't understand, you don't understand. I only know now that following the viewing system means there's meat to eat!"]

Wallace: "Ahhhhh! I can't wait to have a big go at it! Once my suspension is over, I must win a reward."

Steven: 'Woooo, when will it be my turn? I want a reward too.']

Drayden: "Mr. Alder, that's simply too great."

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Alder said with tears in his eyes: "Yes, it's simply too great."]

Because the reward Alder received was so shocking, no one paid attention to Gary's reward.]

But Gary was happy to let this happen; he could just make a fortune in silence.]

"Hehe, with Tyranitar, I don't have to worry about being defeated by Ash at the Indigo Plateau Conference anymore."]

Hmm? Is that really the case?]

It's still not enough!]

Ash has Latias there; if he wants to beat Ash, he has to get a Mythical Pokémon from the viewing system at the very least.]

"Gary, come on, keep working hard!"]

After the quiz ended, the special big screen disappeared again, and the black border slowly lit up.]

Dark Ash's story on Dragonite Island isn't over yet.]
