Chapter 87

Lorelei: "I suspect Rudy is doubting his life right now. He probably calculated everything, but never expected Ash to bring out Pikachu for a surfing competition."

Wallace: "Don't say Rudy didn't expect it; even I didn't expect it. Ash's choice really leaves one at a loss for words."

Cynthia: "Who do you think will win this match?"

Diantha: "That goes without saying, it must be Rudy's Blastoise. How could Ash's Pikachu possibly beat a Blastoise at surfing?"

Flint: "I think Pikachu will win. Don't forget, Ash's Pikachu can also use Surf."

【"My Pikachu can use a surfboard, right?" Ash asked again.】

【"Hey, you're joking, right? You're not really going to use Pikachu, are you?" Rudy said in shock.】

【Joking? No, no, no, he was very serious, not joking in the slightest.】

【Realizing that Ash was serious, Rudy's face suddenly darkened.】

【He now seriously suspected that this challenger was here to wreck the place, and he was determined to make Ash look bad.】

【After agreeing to Ash's request for Pikachu to use a surfboard, Rudy brought Blastoise to the starting line. After confirming that Ash and Pikachu were ready, Rudy gave the order, and the race began.】

【Rudy had thought his Blastoise would win in a crushing manner, but a scene he never expected happened.】

【From the very beginning of the race, his Blastoise was left behind by Ash's Pikachu.】

【Watching Pikachu riding the waves on the sea, Rudy's mind was now a blank slate.】

【Coming to his senses, Rudy shouted, "Blastoise, use Hydro Pump quickly!!!!"】

【Rudy had originally planned to decide the winner based on speed, but now it seemed speed wouldn't win, so he had to use power.】

98: Dark Ash's gift of love—Crystal Onix!

Cynthia: "Preparing to play hardball? Sigh, let's bless Rudy."

Diantha: "I can only say Rudy picked the wrong opponent."

Wallace: "I have to say, Ash's Pikachu is really too cool. This surfing level is even stronger than Brawly's."

Brawly: "Are you talking nonsense with your eyes open? I admit Dark Ash's Pikachu has some skills at surfing, but it's far from mine. It's just that we haven't had a chance to compete; otherwise, I would definitely let Pikachu know what a real surfing expert is."

Roxanne: "Can you use the move Surf? Brawly."

Brawly: "No, why?"

Roxanne: "You can't even use the move Surf, so what are you comparing with Pikachu? When it uses Surf, you can only eat its dust!!!"

【"Pikachu, Raging Waves."】

【Since the opponent was playing dirty, Ash naturally wouldn't hold back anymore.】

【Pikachu inserted its tail into the sea, and under its control, waves surged toward Blastoise.】

【"Hehehe, it's useless. My Blastoise grew up in the sea since it was small; the waves can't hurt it at all." Rudy said confidently.】

【The words had barely left his mouth when Rudy was slapped in the face hard again.】

【His Blastoise was directly paralyzed by the electricity in Pikachu's Raging Waves.】

【Lost, completely and utterly lost. It was no match for Pikachu in a pure water competition, and it was no match when playing dirty. Rudy was stunned.】

【After leaving Trovitopolis Island, Ash and the others arrived at Mikan Island.】

【"Wow, there are exquisite glass products everywhere." As soon as she got on the island, Misty was excited; this island was simply a shopper's paradise.】

【"My younger brothers and sisters have been pestering me for travel souvenirs. Today I'm going to go all out!!!" Brock could already feel his shopping soul burning.】

【"Then let's go shopping on Mikan Island for the whole day today!!!"】

【Mom, Professor Oak, and Gary all need gifts prepared for them. Sabrina and Erika's "797" can't be forgotten either. Oh right, there's also Serena, who is far away in the Kalos region; I have to prepare a gift for her too.】

Kalos region, Vaniville Town.

"Wuwuwu, the me in the other world is too happy. Every time Ash goes shopping, he buys a gift for her too. When will I be able to enjoy such treatment?"

Envious, Serena was fiercely envious.

"You'll never enjoy such treatment by staying at home. You have to take the initiative and go to Ash's side."

Grace gave her daughter some advice.

"If I go directly to Kanto, would it be too abrupt?"

Serena was still struggling.

"If your skin isn't thick enough, you won't find a good man."

Grace rolled her eyes at her daughter.

Chat room.

Daisy: "Erika, Sabrina, Serena, someone has been forgotten, but I won't say who."

Violet: "Could the forgotten person be our Misty?"

Lily: "Oh my, Misty is really miserable."

Misty: "Are you three itching for a beating again?!"

Ash: "Forgotten? What are Daisy and the others talking about? Isn't Misty also on the island? She can buy gifts herself, so why does she need Dark Ash to buy them for her?"

Gary: "Ash, what do you want me to say? No wonder you can never find a girlfriend."

Ash: "Hmph, having Pikachu is enough for me!"

【"Go tell your brother, if he has no talent, he should give up early!"】

【At the street corner, a middle-aged man and a young girl were arguing.】

【After going up to understand, Ash and the others learned that the girl's name was Marassa, and the person arguing with her was the owner of the shop next door.】

【"Because my brother can't make exquisite glass products, our shop's business has never been very good." Marassa said aggrievedly.】

【"The owner next door thinks it's because of us that their shop has no business either."】

【"This is too unreasonable!!!" Misty stood up for Marassa.】

【Blaming the neighbors for their own shop's poor business—people like that are the most classless.】

【To thank Ash and the others for their righteous words, Marassa brought them home, where Ash and the others also met Marassa's brother, Attila.】

【Unlike what Ash and the others imagined, the glass workshop at Marassa's house could be considered one of the best on the entire Mikan Island.】

【Looking at it this way, Attila's inability to make good glass had nothing to do with the workshop.】

【"This is the glass workshop my grandfather left behind." Attila said with a bitter smile.】

【Attila told Ash and the others that when his grandfather was still alive, their shop's business was always very good. In recent years, his grandfather passed away, and the glass workshop was passed to him, but he couldn't make excellent glass products no matter what, which made Attila particularly frustrated.】

【"If only I could find the Crystal Onix." Attila sighed and said.】

【"Crystal Onix?!"】

【Ash and the others were no strangers to Onix; not only did Brock have an Onix, but Ash also had an Onix, but this was the first time they had heard of a Crystal Onix.】

【Does a Crystal Onix really exist in the world?】

【"It exists, it definitely exists." Attila said very firmly, "My grandfather told me that when he was young, during his training, he once encountered a Crystal Onix."】

【While speaking, Attila took out a glass product from the storage cabinet.】

【It was an Onix made of glass.】

【This was a glass product left behind by Attila's grandfather, and it was completely different from the glass Pokémon Attila made. The Onix Attila's grandfather made had life.】

【Even though it didn't move at all, Ash and the others felt the pressure of an Onix from it.】

【"It is said that the Crystal Onix is the messenger of the God of Glass, and it is also considered a symbol of glass. I thought if I could find it, maybe I could get some inspiration."】

【The Crystal Onix was now Attila's only hope.】

【"What if you still can't improve your glass skills after finding the Crystal Onix?" Ash suddenly asked.】

【"Then it proves that I really have no talent for making glass, and I can only give up." Attila said with a bitter smile.】

【"Alright, since that's the case, let's help you find it together!"】

【An Onix made entirely of crystal—how could he miss such a precious Pokémon? Even if he couldn't catch it, he had to see it at least once.】

【"It's not that easy. I've searched every part of Mikan Island, but I still haven't found the Crystal Onix." Attila sighed helplessly.】

【"Don't worry, I'm an expert at searching." Ash considered himself to have some experience in searching.】

【And if he really couldn't find the Crystal Onix, Ash had a way. He could just have Mew transform into a Crystal Onix then.】

Gardenia: "No, Mew hasn't even seen a Crystal Onix, can it transform into one? By relying on imagination?"

Cynthia: "Stupid, isn't there the glass Crystal Onix made by Attila's grandfather? Mew just needs to enlarge it proportionally according to the glass style, and it'll be OK."

Flint: "Dark Ash is really a genius; he can even think of this method."

【On the beach, Ash pointed to the small island across the sea and said, "Lucario sensed a special Aura on that island."】

【"That shouldn't be the Crystal Onix." Attila shook his head and said, "My grandfather told me that the Crystal Onix is on Mikan Island."】

【"Since we're already here, why don't we go over and take a look?"】
