Chapter 108: Clown Ayi!

Jierulu Tai seized the opportunity, attempting to capture the legendary divine beast Lugia. Lugia gathered all its strength and fired a tremendous Hyper Beam at the airship where Jierulu Tai was.

The airship instantly exploded and collapsed.

Before Lugia fell into the sea, it exhausted all its strength to throw out Ash and Pikachu.

Ash fainted in the sea, and Pikachu couldn't drag Ash ashore.

At this moment, Xiaoxia and Fu Lu La both prepared to go rescue Ash.

Xiaoxia had Fu Lu La prepare to blow the flute, indicating whether Ash was her trouble or to let her go rescue.

Xiaoxia immediately swam over, brought Ash up, and woke him.

Ash finally woke up; as soon as he regained consciousness, he tightly grasped the Freeze Bird's treasure. Although his steps were unsteady, he resolutely walked toward the shrine above.

【Yinghua: This might be you saving the world, me saving you!】

【Changpu: I got it, I got it!】

【Fu Lu La: Great! Whenever you come back here, excellent conductor, I'm still looking forward to seeing you again.】

【Brock: Hmm, next time I'll go with Ash, I also want to go witness the festival.】

【Xiaoxia: Are you going to witness the festival?】

Ash carefully placed the Freeze Bird's treasure on the offering table.

Suddenly, a dazzling green light burst from the offering table, followed by a pale green stream that slowly flowed out, trickling along the edge of the table and eventually reaching the surrounding stone pillars.

The pillars underwent an anomaly, instantly being stained with a mysterious green light. At the same time, Fu Lu La gently blew her flute, and the melodious flute sound produced a wonderful resonance with the green light on the pillars.

As the flute sound rose and fell, the green light on the pillars flickered on and off, as if dancing with the flute.

The originally slumbering Three Sacred Birds—the Freeze Bird, Flame Bird, and Thunder Bird—awoke. Their eyes revealed a clear yet slightly foolish light.

The originally terrible weather also gradually dissipated with Fu Lu La's melodious flute melody. The hurricane ceased its ravaging, the dark clouds dispersed, and sunlight once again showered the earth.

The conflict among the Three Sacred Birds thus ended; they seemed to feel a summons from some mysterious power, and they all spread their wings and soared high.

The Lugia that had fallen into the sea also appeared, even letting Ash and Pikachu sit on its back.

Carrying Ash as it soared, a waterspout also surged up from the water surface at this moment.

The Three Sacred Birds circled around Lugia, the Poké Balls in the sea also all moved together, and the flying Poké Balls followed as well.

The whole scene was mighty and spectacular. Ash and Pikachu sat on Lugia's back, feeling the miraculous power of nature, their hearts filled with awe and emotion.

At sunset, Lugia indicated that they should treat it as a legend and not spread it abroad.

Huazi saw Ash safe and sound, breathed a sigh of relief, scolded him a bit, saying that saving the world was nothing; in her heart, without Ash, she would have no son.

Ash is everything to her!

Worryingly looking at Ash, she had originally let him go out to travel, but Ash actually did such a dangerous thing; just now, watching from above, she felt heartbroken, especially seeing Ash fall into the sea.

"Then what do you want to do in the future?"

"I want to become a Poké Ball Master!"

"Then take this as your goal; don't mess around like this now!"

Huazi reminded.

【Huazi: Ash, if you want to do such things in the future, you must first protect yourself; only by protecting yourself can...... save the world.】

Huazi knows her son's temperament: always hot-blooded, extremely passionate about Poké Balls, reckless, unresponsive to advice; she only hopes he will be careful, hopes his Friendship nearby can look after it more, and not let him go overboard.

【Ash: Hmm, I will!】

【Professor Oak: We should really thank Ash; many times major disasters were resolved by Ash stepping forward.】

【Xiao Cilang: Although I don't want to praise this little brat, what you old man said is correct; indeed this little brat solved many disasters, and many divine beasts know him, awesome to the max!】

【Shirona: In that case, isn't he quite familiar with divine beasts? Then he should also know something about some ancient civilizations, right?】

【Ash: This...... I don't really know.】

【Professor Neimu: You've saved the world! Seeing you on the mountain, striving to resolve this crisis and charging forward, I instantly understood why Professor Oak selected you as his favored trainer; perhaps he saw his former self in you.】

【Professor Oak: When I was young, I wasn't nearly as awesome as Ash! Perhaps that's how legendary trainers come about.】

The White Light Curtain finished playing, and then the Black Light Curtain began.

Ash and company also came to the riverside of the nearby Yuzu Gym, and accordingly sent out Fire Dragon to rescue that little sister.

And Xiaoxia comforted the frightened little sister.

Gym Leader Ayi arrived with staff, and happened to see his sister huddled in Xiaoxia's arms.

His sister was rescued by this kind and pretty girl.

"Thank you, my name is Ayi, I am the Gym Leader of Yuzu Gym."

Ayi confirmed his sister Mary wasn't injured, strode forward, and gave Xiaoxia a gentle smile: "Thank you for rescuing my sister!"

He quickly signaled the nearby staff, who trained and acted in unison: some held flowers, some turned on the audio equipment.

"Please dance with me!"

？

Ash and company were speechless; is this guy joking?

They felt he was even funnier than the Team Rocket Trio.

They all had the same thought!

"No need to be polite, it's him... Ash who rescued this little sister."

Xiaoxia warily stepped back a few steps, stopping only when she was behind Ash.

Her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes showing doubt and confusion; she felt this person seemed a bit off, how could he suddenly send flowers and start dancing?

"Oh?"

Ayi's smile instantly froze, he looked at Ash: "Thanks!"

"We're here to challenge the Gym!"

Ash glanced at A Yi indifferently, this guy won't be like Brock, right?

Almost let Pikachu take action.

No, Brock wouldn't be this offensive, who gives flowers and starts dancing right away?

"Good!"

A Yi explained the Gym's rule: before challenging the Gym, you must check whether you have the strength to pass the test—namely, hitting all the targets that jump out on the Pomelo River with a special move to pass the test.

This naturally posed no difficulty for Ash's Poké Balls.

To avoid A Yi's harassment, Xiaoxia sat beside Ash, quietly watching him, cheering him on, serving as the morale squad.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jian sat in the back watching A Yi, to prevent this guy from suddenly offering flowers and such.

A Yi watched from behind as Ash and Xiaoxia interacted, sinking deep into contemplation!

It seems he's a clown, while they're a couple!
