Chapter 185: Entei of Extreme Speed and the Awakening of Gouging Fire

"Humans in the Pokémon world are truly incredible. Even though Unown have infinite power, there is a problem. The little girl stays in the Crystal Tower and doesn't allow anyone to approach. And everything around except the flowing water is crystallized, so what does she eat?"

Xiang Guangtai stood in the Green Grassland and thought of this question for no reason.

This area is not reality, but a different space. This feeling is too familiar, just like returning home.

The power of Unown is so unreasonable that it can directly materialize the heart into a different space in reality. The owner who controls the Unown can theoretically do anything here.

"I remember the Team Rocket trio also appeared in this movie. And they found the hall where the Unown gathered at once. Why do I seem to have taken the wrong path?"

"This wilderness seems to be the arena for Ash and Entei to compete, right?"

Xiang Guangtai observed everything here with great interest, and at the same time tried to knock down a "transparent step."

How does this thing float in mid-air?

It looks ordinary, but being able to float in the sky is already an incredible item. Is this also a product of mental materialization? The movie is simply like a special prop clearance sale.

【Craft (?): Sky Stairs.】

【Description: One of the products materialized by Molly's heart and the power of Unown. It can be fixed in the air without falling, and there will be no shaking at all. It is an item that is almost impossible to exist in the real world. When the power of Unown disappears, the Sky Stairs will also perish. If there is special technology, this kind of stairs can be preserved and attempted to be manufactured.】

Until two voices came from the sky and the ground at the same time.

The one coming from the ground is naturally Ash and his party who are "going upstairs"!

The reckless boy in the classic blue outfit with Pikachu on his shoulder rushed up the stairs with anger, determined to save his mother from this cold tower. Looking at this familiar boy, Xiang Guangtai couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia.

It's really... so nostalgic, Ash.

You are still ignorant now, and you haven't become the Pokémon Master you hope to be. Sincere, brave, reckless.

And Xiang Guangtai's eyes were stunned when he saw Ash's teammates.

Although it is still the classic Brock and Misty, their styling is not right!

Brock's styling is even tougher than in the animation, and Misty's hairstyle has completely changed! That is Misty's styling in the special edition! It is also the short hair styling of the "HeartGold/SoulSilver" period!

If that's the case, doesn't it mean... the relationship between Misty and Ash has also changed?

They ran up in a hurry, and the voice coming from the sky, coming down along the transparent mental stairs, was Molly and Entei!

"Entei!"

"You are Pokémon Trainers... Huh?"

Originally, Molly was riding on Entei in an adult image, looking down at Ash's trio from a high position, her desire to fight already uncontrollable, but she suddenly found someone dismantling those floating stairs?!

She was stunned on the spot, and Ash's trio who ran up from downstairs didn't expect that there were other people here!

"Um, may I ask who you are..." Ash subconsciously wanted to ask about Xiang Guangtai's identity, but immediately came back to his senses. Now is not the time to introduce himself to strangers!

"Interesting, how did you get in? I didn't see you on the TV show." Molly looked at Xiang Guangtai with a smile, but suddenly felt Entei's body trembling slightly, as if it was suppressing some kind of restless instinct, which startled her.

"Daddy, what's wrong with you?"

"Hmm... that person..." The fake Entei stared at Xiang Guangtai. The moment it saw this strange young man with a backpack, the roar that had been tormenting it in its mind became more intense!

"Why... why is the voice in my mind getting louder and louder? What on earth is on you that is calling me?"

"Fight me! Fight me!"

The fake Entei carried Molly directly and fell to the ground suddenly. Its mane exploded, and its eyes widened in anger!

"Entei, where did you take my mother!" Ash was also angry at this time and started questioning directly. The suddenly irritable Entei sprayed a mouthful of flames at Ash!

"Protect."

I don't know when, Xiang Guangtai had already released Doublade. The light green barrier blocked the strange purple-red flames, and the never-before-seen Pokémon made Ash stunned for a long time.

"Pokémon?"

"Yo-wu~" Doublade turned around and patted Ash's hat with its ribbon.

Young man, that was really a close call just now! Daring to resist a Pokémon's fire move, are you some kind of Superman?

Eh! Speaking of which, that was a Fire-type move! If I hadn't caught it, I would have gone directly into the sword forging process!

"Pika Pika?"

Pikachu also tilted its head curiously, looking at the strangely shaped Doublade.

"What kind of Pokémon is that?" Molly, who got off Entei, also showed great interest. Of course, beside her, her "Daddy" was still in an irritable state, which made her feel at a loss again.

"Molly, I'm fine." Entei suppressed the strange restlessness in his heart again, but his eyes did not move away from Xiang Guangtai.

Is the source of the call right in front of me?

"My Unown are here, right?" Xiang Guangtai took the initiative, a question that made the adult Molly stunned for a moment.

"What..." Molly thought of those "friends" in the hall. She bit her lip: "They are friends who are willing to play with me."

"At least the one in my house is very unwilling. It sent a distress message." Xiang Guangtai waved his hand and said sternly: "I know what your name is, and I also roughly know where your real father went, so take me to the place where those Unown gather."

"That's impossible."

Entei spoke, his expression full of vigilance: "I am Molly's father."

Xiang Guangtai: "What are you talking about? Not only are you not Molly's father, but even the identity of Entei is fake."

This is still subtle. After all, Ash shouted "I won't lose to you, a phantom" in the movie, which directly caused the fake Entei to break down.

This guy seems to vaguely know that his birth is problematic, but he is unwilling to face it, and it is the same even now...

"You say I'm fake? How is that possible!"

Entei's expression became visibly ferocious, and his anger rose sharply: "I am 'Daddy,' and I came here for Molly's happiness! As long as Molly can laugh, that is my greatest happiness!"

"That's not true!" Before Xiang Guangtai could speak, Ash, the reckless one, had already shouted first, and hit the three-part defense-breaking combo in advance:

"You are just a phantom. You were created by Molly's heart, a fantasy Entei!"

Sure enough, Entei let out an angry battle roar: "You say I'm a phantom, I am, I am this child's father!" He stomped violently on the wilderness, causing violent airflow and vibration!

"Then, when did your memory begin?"

Xiang Guangtai's hands released waves, isolating the surging attribute energy.

Ash: "That feeling just now was..."

Xiang Guangtai: "Spiritual power. You should have met Morty, the Gym Leader of Ecruteak City. I have the same spiritual ability as him."

"Entei, what is your perception of yourself? Ash, you should have learned the story about Entei from Professor Oak, right?"

"Um, eh? How do you know my name?"

Ash pointed at himself in a daze, but seeing Xiang Guangtai's eyes... that kind of look was like looking at a long-lost friend, full of nostalgia and joy.

"Have we met somewhere before?"

"A long time ago, you can just call me Xiang Guangtai."

"Is that so?" Ash scratched his head in confusion: "But I can't remember."

"It doesn't matter, your memory has always been bad."

Xiang Guangtai joked casually, which made Misty and Brock, who followed, laugh out loud.

It is true. In the animation, even people Ash has met are completely forgotten after being separated for more than ten days. Everyone jokes that "Ash has amnesia again," and when he goes to a new region, he resets his points and forgets everything from the past.

"Let, let's talk about Entei." The steady Brock coughed: "I'm Brock, the Gym Leader of Pewter City, although it doesn't seem to be the time for self-introduction."

"I'm Misty, the Gym Leader of Cerulean City." Short-haired Misty followed.

"Professor Oak told us that Molly's father was investigating Entei and Unown, and clues about Entei were found in many ancient ruins. Sculptures, stone carvings, murals..."

"Hmm, there is a problem. Actually, Entei shouldn't appear in those ancient ruins." Xiang Guangtai corrected: "So the Entei in those ancient ruins is actually not the real 'Entei.' It is most likely some kind of Pokémon that is very similar to Entei, and later generations just thought it was Entei."

"So, this matches my previous question. Entei, do you still remember how you were born?"

"Ash, you have been to Ecruteak City, you should know the legend about Suicune, right?"

Ash nodded: "I, I have seen Suicune!"

Of course! When traveling in the Johto region, Suicune still had a lot of prestige. After all, it was once a cover legendary beast, and now it hasn't fallen to the point of being caught by roadside fishing nets.

"Suicune, Entei, Raikou. They were born in the Burned Tower 150 years ago. They are Pokémon personally resurrected by Ho-Oh. Their predecessors were completely different from what they are now. This is a well-known historical legend. They exist as envoys for Ho-Oh to observe humans, and are also called the Ho-Oh Guard."

"The ruins that Dr. Hale investigated, their existence time far exceeds the time when Entei was born, and even if Entei traveled through time through some power, it shouldn't have left its footprints and legends in so many places."

"Entei, were you resurrected by Ho-Oh?"

Xiang Guangtai threw a fatal question at Entei, and the fake Entei's body stiffened suddenly.

Ho-Oh?

What kind of Pokémon is that?

There is no image of this Pokémon in its memory, but it is indeed Entei, and it appeared in response to Molly's call. It is her father... It should have existed a long time ago, it is a fantasy spirit, it shouldn't, it shouldn't have just been born 150 years ago!

"No, I am the real one!" The fake Entei's memory was chaotic, and it roared violently!

"There is no memory of being created by Ho-Oh, so it can't be the real Entei."

"Ash, Entei came from above. Your mother should be up there. Don't waste time here."

Xiang Guangtai directly snatched Brock's follow-up lines and pointed to the sky stairs, then explained:

"I'm also here to save my companion, so you don't have to worry about me, just go up." Xiang Guangtai touched the hot spot on his body and took out the Dragon Plate.

The stone plate was echoing something, and in the surprised eyes of Molly and Entei opposite, Xiang Guangtai took out the "Symbol Board" from his backpack!

Roaring, faintly audible. Xiang Guangtai also heard strange roaring!

Hmm, this feeling is exactly the same as when I first saw Walking Wake in the dream!

Plus the previous speculation about those Entei ruins, could the source of this roar be...

"This is Molly's world created by using the power of Unown. The power of Unown will echo the human heart, so the person controlling this place can create anything, become anyone, and even Pokémon can be created at will."

"But this power is not used like this. It was originally the great power used by gods to create all things. Because of this, the more the girl believes and fantasizes, the stronger you, as a phantom, will be. The theory is infinite because you were created by Unown responding to the human heart."

"Let's try it out. Don't you want to fight?"

Xiang Guangtai asked Entei for his opinion, and Entei looked at Molly beside him. The latter originally just wanted to come here to have a real battle with Ash and the others, and it was really just as Xiang Guangtai said, because this is her mental world, so as long as she wants, she will be like in the original work, and no one will be the opponent of her crystal Pokémon.

The crystal Pokémon she created not only have infinite stamina, but even in a state of confusion, they can use the god-level skill "Quick Dodge." Brock also commented that the Pokémon she fantasized about were much more powerful than the original Pokémon.

Even a Phanpy's Rollout can directly hit an Onix head-on, ignoring the gap in size and weight!

"I..."

Entei saw Ash and the others climbing the Sky Stairs. That was something that didn't need to be cared about, because Molly had many incarnations, and the next mental field would still block them, but now he was troubled by that strange roar!

Must make a quick decision!

"Of course, I came here to fight with Molly!" Entei went on the field directly, not watching from the sidelines like in the original work. Molly had just materialized a crystal Poké Ball in her hand.

"Molly can't lose. Even if you are a very powerful trainer."

"No, I'm not a trainer." Xiang Guangtai waved his hand and tried to imitate Molly's behavior.

A strange light gathered in his hand, and a crystal Poké Ball was created out of thin air!

"How can you..." Molly looked at Xiang Guangtai in disbelief as he also made a crystal Poké Ball.

This is her world!

"I'm just experimenting. In short, it's hard to explain. You can just assume I have powerful psychic power, the kind that can influence the mind."

"The crystal Poké Ball is just an experiment. The main event is next."

"I'm not a professional battle trainer. As for the battle, my purpose is very simple. After defeating you, please take me to find my Unown. Don't go back on your word."

"Just as that girl believes in your power, I also believe that this Pokémon can defeat you."

Xiang Guangtai suspended the Symbol Board with spiritual power, and the stone pieces were combined and arranged in the air, quickly forming a word.

Entei.

"Hmm!" When the words were recombined, the fake Entei had a headache again, and the angry howling became clearer, as if it was about to pounce out angrily from the dream or even some distant mental world!

"Sure enough, you are influencing me. Why, why does your mental power influence me!"

Xiang Guangtai didn't speak, and rearranged the words on the stone plate! Then, add the power of the Dragon Plate!

Unown + Stone Plate + Power of Creation + Soul Amplification!

Ugatsuhomura—Gouging Fire!

"Roar!"

Violent roaring and irritable flames suddenly appeared out of thin air. The power of the Symbol Board gathered, and because the power of the wooden tablet was also mixed in, the Unown would also respond to Xiang Guangtai's heart!

The crystal began to condense and form rapidly. While everyone was blocking the flames, a huge Pokémon with four claws was summoned from the dream of the distant era!

It has a similar face mask and body color to Entei, but its limbs are thicker, it has sharp dragon claws, silver sword halberds and white smoke tails on its body. The golden shield on the top of the face mask is its conspicuous feature, and there is no mercy in those eyes, only ferocity and rage!

Who is called Entei? I will end its life!
