Chapter 274

【Ash: Well, I really didn't understand back then; if this Light Screen hadn't appeared, I probably still wouldn't understand.】

Looking at this Light Screen that played many of his black history, Ash felt somewhat helpless, yet also quite grateful for it.

Fortunately, this Light Screen reminded him of his mistakes, allowing timely correction.

This is beneficial to himself.

Later, the exposure of those evil organizations' deeds let everyone see that harboring ill intentions toward the legendary Poké Ball results in self-inflicted consequences.

【Lily: Now that you understand, it's not too late; you can tell them through this Light Screen.

For example, when you initially went to the perfume shop with Xiaoxia, you said the perfume was bad; now you can make up for it by giving her a bottle of perfume!

【Xiaomao: Oh oh, is that the time Ash used Disguise to challenge the Gym?

If Xiaomao doesn't speak, no one thinks you're mute....... Ash had a black line across his forehead; the Disguise matter is almost over, yet you keep bringing it up, never ending, right?

Now Ash has become smarter, understanding Lily's meaning: she wants him to buy a bottle of perfume to give Xiaoxia, thereby improving their feelings.

And Misty and the others—think about whether you've done anything bad to them.

Upon thinking this, Ash's complexion slightly changed; he really had done many 'good deeds'—not being considerate of them.

For example, arguing with Xiaoxia, disturbing Misty's dressing up, during a battle arguing with Xiaoguang due to a Poké Ball mistake, and competing with Ailis.

And Shalina; when she felt cold, I still said in front of her that it wasn't cold, it was warm; moreover, when Shalina wanted to go to that store with me, I left.

Not long ago, after losing a Gym match, Shalina came to comfort me, but I didn't accept her kindness at that time.

Did I really do such stupid things before?

Ash felt helpless, his gaze turned to Shalina, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, merely looking anxious.

The clever Shalina understood Ash's meaning; she showed a lovely smile, her brows and eyes full of understanding, and softly said: 'It's fine, I know!'

Ash froze, seeing Shalina's cheerful smile on her face; he still felt a bit guilty, after all Shalina had been so good to him, he hadn't paid much attention then and had hurt her heart.

"What this girl said is truly correct; Ash's clueless appearance, if following normal development, he might truly remain incomprehensible his whole life!"

"As the saying goes, none knows a son better than his mother...... Huazi still understands Ash very well."

"Now Ash should have had his enlightenment!"

Huazi thought a bit; she herself also needs to have her enlightenment, perk up.

In the Black World, Huazi worries for Black Satoshi, and specially invited the few good girls who play with Ash to Pallet Town for a gathering, specially to improve relations and avoid future quarrels.

"Although it's a bit troublesome, for Ash it's all worthwhile!"

Huazi also needs to start preparing.

The Black Light Screen also lit up here.

Ash and his party also heard rumors of the millennium comet, and also heard that someone saw the Magma Team appearing here.

Ash could just go over to check; if the Magma Team is still doing those things that destroy the Poké Ball ecosystem, Ash doesn't mind letting Ho-Oh and the Three Sacred Beasts come out.

This time they didn't go on foot; instead, Ash had two flying Poké Balls transmitted from Professor Damu.

Brock and Xiaosheng sat on Charizard's back, while Misty, Ash, and Pikachu were on Lugia.

Now Lugia is eating and drinking well at Professor Damu's research institute's backyard, occasionally training with Charizard and the others; it has grown up, just like its mother, except its personality remains the same, very fond of clinging to Ash.

"Lugia, after not seeing each other for a while, you've grown this big."

Ash's eyes were full of tenderness and delight; he slowly reached out, gently stroking Lugia's huge, smooth body.

Lugia's jewel-like eyes sparkled with deep reliance and affection for Ash; it bowed its head, gently resting its head against Ash's face.

Latios beside them could not contain its joy, letting out a happy cry; the sound was clear and pleasant, like a silver bell swaying in the wind.

Latios flew around Ash and Lugia in a joyful dance, its multicolored wings refracting brilliant light in the sunlight, like a lively rainbow.

Misty stood aside, quietly watching the scene, her eyes full of envy; she could feel the emotion between Latios and Ash.

Misty slightly pursed her lips, a hint of envy appearing on her face.

Afterwards, Ash and his companions all boarded a flying Poké Ball and flew off.

Soon, from above they saw the newly built mobile amusement park, with stalls all around its perimeter, crowds of people continually entering the park.

After descending, Ash suddenly felt a psychic wave and heard a voice calling him—not human, but like a Pokémon.

He looked around and realized the sound was coming from the direction of the amusement park.

Ash looked at the others and asked, "Did you hear any strange sound?"

"It sounded like it was saying 'summon it!'" Xiaosheng mused.

Misty nodded; she had heard it too!

Brock looked around, wondering where the sound came from, why it was so faint, and why it seemed to say "summon it"—could it be some Pokémon?

The Magma Team had appeared here before; could they have come here to carry out their previously thwarted plan?

Is that Pokémon their target?

Brock thought quickly.

"Marill, did you sense it too?"

Ash saw Marill emerge half‑body from his shadow; it only appears when something is happening.

Marill pointed to a large tent, telling Ash that the wave came from there, and it had clearly sensed the unusual psychic fluctuation.

As they walked to the amusement park, they were immediately surrounded by clowns who thrust flyers at them and pointed toward the big tent ahead.

Nearby passersby were likewise pulled in.

Magma Team?

Ash halted, feeling the same waveform from the clown handing out flyers ahead as from the Magma Team member who had seized the meteorite before.

It looks like the Magma Team really is carrying out some plan here!

Having taken the flyer, they headed toward the erected tent.

Ash was ready to call Mewtwo over, or release Ho‑Oh.

I don't believe we still can't beat the Magma Team!
