Chapter 316: Larvitar was driven to evolve, capturing the Ultrasonic Larva!

After talking with Yuan Zhi Heavenly King, Ash and his group set out for Liuli City, passing through Weierzi Island on the way.

Upon landing on this island, Ash felt a fluctuation similar to that of ancient Pokémon.

They discovered the extinct cradle lily and ancient armor, and were almost mistaken for invaders.

Fortunately, Professor Zhu Xing arrived in time; otherwise, those few ancient Pokémon would have suffered badly.

They learned that these ancient Pokémon were all revived by Professor Zhu Xing.

During this period, the Team Rocket Trio saw the ancient Pokémon and felt itchy, wanting to seize the opportunity to capture a few and then present them to Sakaki.

Unfortunately, they were stopped by Ash and his group halfway through, and Pikachu's 100,000 Volts blasted them away.

After that, everything was peaceful, and Ash and his group finally arrived at Purijia City on Yizhaobei Island.

The Pokémon Beauty Contest began the next day, and Misty met a skilled trainer here named Harry, whose Pokémon was Dream Song Cactus.

"How come I feel he's a bit like Xiaocilang?"

Ash narrowed his eyes, slightly frowned, and muttered to himself.

Looking at Harry, he was somewhat like Xiaocilang, and his Pokémon was also Dream Song Cactus, which happened to be an evolved form.

Quite a coincidence.

"Don't say it, but he really is a bit alike!"

Brock widened his eyes, lightly rubbed his chin with his fingers, and his brain raced.

Both human appearance and Pokémon are somewhat similar.

Xiaosheng's eyes rolled around, and he said worriedly, "Meowth won't be nearby, will they?"

This time Misty sent out Bulbasaur, and after watching several matches, Bulbasaur already understood the flow of the Pokémon Beauty Contest.

For the first evaluation, there were no problems for it, all having been verified multiple times by Misty.

And the second evaluation also had no issues; they had learned a lot from Ash's Ivysaur, and their combat power increased greatly.

Don't let its cute appearance fool you; its combat power is quite good.

Harry's Dream Song Cactus was very strong, also scoring high in the first evaluation in China.

However, in the second evaluation, it lost to Misty's Bulbasaur.

It wasn't that the Dream Song Cactus was inadequate; rather, Bulbasaur was exceptionally strong, possessing power that didn't match its appearance.

Who would have thought such a cute Bulbasaur could fight so well!

"Dah!" Misty's Bulbasaur cheered, making its debut and finally winning.

"Bulbasaur, we won!" Misty hugged her Bulbasaur.

After obtaining the Ribbon Badge, Ash and his group came to the Valley of Destruction.

Upon hearing this legend, the Team Rocket Trio still wanted to seize the Great Ball.

Unfortunately, it was just a thought; as soon as they acted, Ash stopped them, and they were still controlled by Ash's psychic ability.

They had only heard the legend; nothing happened.

Afterwards, Ash and his group sped up their journey.

This time they arrived at a wasteland dotted with large holes.

Upon reaching the wasteland, Ash released Larvitar; the spacious area made it a good idea to let it play for a while.

Larvitar flew by compressing internally produced gas and then forcefully spraying it out, like a rocket, repeatedly taking off again and again, enjoying itself immensely.

Larvitar was having fun, but the Big Jaw Ant suffered. The Big Jaw Ant had been lounging comfortably in the sand when a black shadow shot like lightning; before it could react, Larvitar hit it, sending it flipping onto its back, legs in the air, lying on the ground for a long time without recovering.

"Big Jaw Ant, are you okay?"

Ash kept an eye on Larvitar's movements, instantly spotted the flipped Big Jaw Ant, and rushed over to check. He saw the Big Jaw Ant's body slightly trembling, as if trying to get up.

But before Ash could help the Big Jaw Ant up, Larvitar seemed not done playing, rushed over again, and with its hard body pushed the ant back. The Big Jaw Ant let out a mournful cry, rolled several times on the ground, looking quite miserable.

Ash treated the Big Jaw Ant's injuries.

Coincidentally, they then encountered Manager Qi Zi and Researcher Ping Balang.

The two of them were a couple.

"It's fine; the Big Jaw Ant is just a bit silly."

"Silly?"

"It really does look silly," Ash glanced at the Big Jaw Ant's peculiar physique.

"Its head is disproportionately round, with four short legs, and it has that wise gaze."

Through the manager they learned there was an underground lake here, where many wild Big Jaw Ants gathered.

Ash and his group went to see it, and suddenly discovered a rather coincidental situation, similar to what had happened earlier in the Bulbasaur garden.

While talking, the Big Jaw Ant that had previously been hit by Larvitar was now playing together with Larvitar.

Suddenly, the calm lake surface rippled in layers, the surrounding air seemed to become somewhat agitated, and each Big Jaw Ant began to flicker with a strange light, initiating a collective evolution.

"Just like back in the Bulbasaur garden!" Brock said.

Misty saw Larvitar also bursting with evolution light: "Did Larvitar also evolve?"

Everyone looked at Larvitar, "You also want to join the fun?"

In a moment, Larvitar evolved into Bengal Ras.

The Big Jaw Ant evolved into Ultrasonic Larva.

"So big!"

Xiaosheng looked at Bengal Ras, its whole body covered in armor and full of spikes.

"Yah~"

Bengal Ras raised its head and roared, feeling the surging power within.

"Was it induced to evolve?"

Ash looked around; many were ultrasonic wave larvae, and his Sand Ras were all driven to evolve into Bengal Ras.

【Xiba: Still possible like this? Sand Ras also underwent resonant evolution with the big-jaw ant!】

【Xia Bo: Really interesting, all sorts of novel things have been encountered by Ash.】

【Tie Xuan: Even the experiences of his youth aren't as exciting as Ash's short few-month trip; still, young people's trips are more fun, they have everything, even more exciting than watching movies!】

That was well said.

Ash's short few-month journey was indeed exciting, encountering divine beasts, opposing evil organizations, his understanding of Poké Ball being only partial, and growing through bumps along the way.

Occasionally he'll make minor mistakes, no harm done!

Black World——

That big-jaw ant, after being knocked over by Sand Ras, also evolved into an ultrasonic wave larva.

Ash saw the ultrasonic wave larva, feeling a surge of excitement, just wanting to capture it!

Then he asked the ultrasonic wave larva whether it was willing to follow him.

Before the ultrasonic wave larva could reply, Bengal Ras quickly spoke for it, answering Ash, indicating that the ultrasonic wave larva was willing to join!

The ultrasonic wave larva, urged by Bengal Ras, agreed, after all, having stayed here as a Braindead for so long, going out to look around is also fine!

Ash threw a spirit ball; the ultrasonic wave larva offered no resistance, the spirit ball, after catching the ultrasonic wave larva, didn't wobble at all, just made a click and showed successful capture!

"I... captured the ultrasonic wave larva!"

Ash picked up the spirit ball and made the classic move.

"Pi—Pikachu!!!"

"Yah!!!"
