Chapter 297: Straight-man style answer, superpower assistance!

「What to give? A doll of the fairy Eevee or some jewelry? 」

Ash muttered, being inexperienced, he was somewhat unsure.

Serena is a coordinator participating in the Showcase; she usually wears a hair ornament headband.

Or just give that to her!

After thinking a lot, Ash felt the bow headband suited her better, she would probably like it!

More exhausting than a battle...... Ash sighed, mentally tired; it was also the first time he'd thought about so many things, really troublesome, truly don't know how Black Satoshi came up with that.

Actually you just need to learn more like Black Satoshi, interact more with Serena; fundamentally no need to give any gift.

Shitron thought, everyone knows Serena likes Ash, except Ash himself doesn't know.

However, having traveled with Ash for so long, he knows Ash has no interest in male-female matters, his focus is entirely on Poké Ball and Gym battles.

Remember earlier a girl asked him, hoping who would be his wife in the future!

Ash said a classic line: "How could such a person exist in the world?"

Hints are useless, even clearer ones don't work.

Also a girl asked him, if she won this match, then Ash would have to date her.

Ash readily agreed, and also indicated they would not lose.

Is he truly straight, or a steel-straight man?

Having traveled so long with Brock, who is crazy about beautiful sisters, he hasn't learned a thing.

Black World—

After walking out of the store, Ash sensed a very peculiar superpower fluctuation; that fluctuation was very strange, not like an ordinary superpower.

「Wuu! 」

Latias also sensed it the same way.

"You sensed it too!" Ash stroked Latias's cheeks, then explained the situation clearly to Misty and the others.

Xiaosheng immediately said his thought: "Could it be those three Team Rocket guys again?"

"No way, this place looks high-end, Xiaocilang and the others wouldn't dare cause trouble." Brock somewhat uncertain, the Team Rocket trio never play by the rules, he shifted his tone: "Hard to say, they'd dare to act against the Legendary Birds, there's nothing they wouldn't dare."

"That strong?" Misty didn't really believe, not that she distrusted Brock's words, but she didn't believe the Team Rocket trio could be that strong.

"About average, it's not a matter of whether they dare, but that they lack strength; if they had strength, they'd have snatched many Poké Ball already."

Ash has dealt with the Team Rocket trio for so long, he knows their capabilities.

【Musashi: So angry, why is this little brat so lacking!!!】

【Ash: Black Satoshi wasn't wrong either, you guys really aren't capable, aside from being bold, you have no strengths!】

【Xiaocilang: Little brat, listen up, we've noted it. If you can't deal with the little brat of the Black World, you're also afraid you can't deal with you in the real world.】

【Meow: Just you wait, meow!】

【Ash: You make it sound like you haven't targeted me before like this.】

【Shitron: The key is, remembering Ash is useless; every time it's the same result, you've remembered Ash for a long time, and followed him across many regions, yet still accomplished nothing.】

It hits home, old iron...... Everyone feels heartbroken about the Team Rocket trio.

Although the Team Rocket trio does bad things, they basically never succeed; they not only assist Ash and friends, but also torment themselves.

As onlookers, we all feel the Team Rocket trio are somewhat pitiful!

Every day they painstakingly think about Sakaki of the Team Rocket; they occasionally get hungry, occasionally cause trouble, encounter many difficulties, yet they truly persist thanks to them!

Having such perseverance, it'd be better to do something good, yet they insist on doing bad things!

Black World—

At this moment, an aurora appeared outside the city.

Ash sensed two superpower fluctuations, one from the aurora on the high-rise, another coming from the nearby botanical garden.

Heading toward the source of the superpower fluctuation, in the botanical garden they discovered a boy named Toy, beside whom appeared a clump of green data.

"It can still move? Is it a Poké Ball?" Brock widened his eyes.

"It is a Poké Ball, but not entirely a Poké Ball!"

Ash was very curious; that clump of green data at that moment transformed into an aurora.

"What are you saying?" Toy shielded the aurora behind him and shouted: "It's my friend, who are you?"

"Um, I'm Ash." Ash introduced himself, then immediately said: "Your friend should be a Poké Ball, it's still sleeping."

The data clump seems unafraid of Ash and company, and is quite friendly; likely it sensed Ash's superpower fluctuation.

Being able to sync with Ash's rhythm is like a wanderer abroad for a long time finally meeting an acquaintance.

Such a feeling is indescribable.

Moreover, Latias also sensed the superpower fluctuation from the green data clump, and was especially enthusiastic about it.

It kept wandering around beside Ash.

After chatting with the data clump for a while, Ash learned its name and origin.

Deoxys, from space!

He shared the information from the data diagram with everyone.

The sparrows fell silent.

Obviously they were very surprised by the origin of that data clump.

"A Poké Ball from space?"

To them it's way beyond the norm.

"Then how can you change back to your original form?"

Ash asked, but then heard an alarm sound.

"Tuoyi, are you okay?"

"Professor Lun Da and Assistant Youzi came over; they used equipment to detect the Deoxys fluctuation that appeared here in the botanical garden."

"Same as the energy fluctuation of Deoxys detected four years ago."

"Moreover, there is a Rayquaza above, currently blocking the incoming Deoxys."

"They already guessed that Deoxys came to find its companion; four years ago it was the same, except Rayquaza treated it as an intruder, directly scattering it and leaving behind a crystal."

"They explained the situation here."

"Rayquaza has arrived?"

"Soon, it's battling Deoxys. Deoxys's goal is to take away its companion; they will eventually be shot down."

"Professor Lun Da looked at the data body, 'We must awaken this Deoxys and let them leave this place, otherwise the city will suffer.'"

"They quickly arrived at the research institute; Professor Lun Da also had Ash and his group follow over. He discovered that Ash could communicate freely with the Deoxys data body, thinking he must rely on Ash."

"Laboratory."

"In the center of the laboratory, a peculiarly shaped device stood out, and inside the instrument lay a meteorite emitting a mysterious aura."

"Activate the device!"

"The device's activation button was pressed, a low humming sound rang out, and immediately, a powerful current like lively silver snakes stimulated the meteorite below, crackling. The current jumped and flashed on the meteorite's surface, emitting a dazzling light."

"Before it could last three seconds, the current weakened, greatly slowing Deoxys's regeneration speed."

"This is because Rayquaza and Deoxys were fighting nearby, the protection device went on full alert, so most of the power was used for the device."

"No power, right? Then let Pikachu give you a boost of electricity!"

"Ash wasn't the least bit worried about that; electricity was never in short supply!"

"Pikachu, 100,000 Volts at maximum power."

"Pikachu immediately discharged electricity into the instrument, far stronger than the Electric Rocket Team—several times over—instantly filling the entire laboratory with a strong current aura."

"I'll help you...... Ash also used his own psychic power, seeing if he could assist in awakening Deoxys."

"Only saw Ash's eyes flashing with a mysterious light, an invisible psychic wave emanating from him surged toward the meteorite. At the same time, Latias, who had been watching the situation nearby, quickly flew over."

"Latias's whole body emitted a soft yet powerful light; its psychic power, like a bursting flood, poured out completely."

"Strong psychic waves surged like tumultuous tides from all directions toward the meteorite. Under the combined action of multiple energies, the meteorite began to tremble violently."

"Moments later, the meteorite suddenly burst into dazzling white light, that light as hot and bright as the sun illuminated the entire laboratory."

"Could it really be possible?"

"Professor Lun Da looked very excited; after so many years of research with no progress, today a teenager actually broke through."

"They also tried using psychic Pokémon, but it was useless; why does this teenager with Latias work?"

"Could it be because their psychic waves are strong?"
