Chapter 188: The New

"What on earth is that Pokémon? The ones that appeared outside... are the real Entei and Suicune!"

On the way to the hall, Ash seemed to have a hundred thousand questions he wanted to get answered all at once. Why did Xiang Guangtai know him, why did he suddenly appear here, and what was that Pokémon that looked like Entei?

And what about this Pokémon that looked like a precious sword beside Xiang Guangtai?

"Too many questions! I'll answer you after the incident is resolved."

Xiang Guangtai is currently using mental power to suppress the abnormal changes here. Those crystal spikes are still frantically gushing out! Now they are out of Molly's control and are completely driven by the Unown!

"Symbol Board! Unknown—Unown!"

The stone plate blocks manipulated by spiritual power quickly formed new words in the air. The power of the Unown swept away the surrounding crystals, allowing everyone to reach the bottom floor faster, and this part of the power also slightly suppressed the generation of those mental crystals.

Xiang Guangtai guessed that this was because he had a part of the "Symbol Board" that caused this incident. Because of this, he could borrow Molly's mental world to generate different Pokémon, and because of his existence, although these mental spikes were also proliferating, they could also be dispelled by him.

"Professor Oak, what on earth is going on?"

Ash's Pokédex suddenly rang, and Professor Oak also explained the current problem in detail!

"It's Unown! Because the power was released all at once, even they themselves couldn't stop it! The crystallization phenomenon is approaching the Pokémon Center. Ash, hurry up and find a way to stop the Unown from going out of control!"

"I understand! Hmm, we have quite a lot of combat power here, no problem!" Ash counted the number of people here and felt that they had a great advantage!

For example...

Boom!

Outside the Crystal Tower, triple flames burned through the crystal barrier. Almost at the same time, three "Entei" broke into the hall where the Unown gathered!

As for Suicune, he followed silently as a camera. Xiang Guangtai, Ash's trio, Delia with Molly, and the escaped Team Rocket trio also came to the hall together.

This can be said to be the "decisive moment."

"Let me see, found it!" Xiang Guangtai saw the position of Unown E at a glance. In the huge sphere formed by the Unown that were constantly spreading, vibrating, circulating, and condensing, there was one Unown that remained in a lying-flat state—everyone else had their eyes open and releasing power, only it had its eyes closed, with an attitude of letting you trample on it.

"That is Mr. Xiang Guangtai's Unown?"

"Hmm, it's my friend. I didn't capture it, and it's not from near Johto. It was probably accidentally summoned here by the Unown here." Xiang Guangtai spread his hands:

"Unown live in a different dimension called the Crack of Time and Space. All Unown in the ruins can reach that different dimension by opening space-time channels. Sometimes they will call away a large number of helpers to do certain things. Unown's mind is very much like a child. As long as something interesting happens, they will gather."

"However, the Unown in the Sinnoh region should be more serious."

"Sinnoh region?" Ash was stunned for a moment.

A region he hadn't heard of. After all, Ash hadn't even gone to Hoenn yet.

"Don't worry about it, you will travel there sooner or later, but... I recommend you go to Hoenn first. The intensity of the Sinnoh region is a bit too early for you now."

Ash will lose to Tyson from Hoenn at the Silver Conference, and Charizard will be defeated by Blaziken. This is the opportunity for Ash to go to the Hoenn region, but in fact, without the polishing and growth in the Hoenn region, if he goes to Sinnoh rashly now, with Ash's current battle level, it is impossible to replicate the record in the original work.

Not to mention being killed by the plot of the legendary trainer, I'm afraid he will lose confidence after meeting Paul.

Hmm, because in the game plot about the Sinjoh Ruins, May from the Hoenn region is a companion of Brendan, so Ash's journey to Hoenn may not necessarily feature May, unless the "May" in the game has a younger sister of the same name.

That would be a congratulations to Professor Birch. Two daughters, and they look like twins.

"The Entei are joining forces to break the Unown's barrier!"

"How to stop them?"

"Alright! I'll go first!"

Under everyone's shocked gaze, Ash carried out the style of a reckless man, ran out directly, and slammed into the Unown's barrier with all his strength!

Hmm, comfortable! Xiang Guangtai complained in his heart!

As expected of a super Pallet Towner, if you don't know what to do, rush first to see. If it works, let the brothers follow and rush!

【Ash used Tackle, it doesn't seem to have any effect.】

"Wuaa!" Sure enough, Ash, who rushed over, was bounced back by the barrier and sat on the ground.

"He really has always been so brave." Xiang Guangtai couldn't help but complain. Since he came to the Pokémon world, complaining about Ash's bravery is a link that cannot be missed.

"Yeah..." Even Misty, Brock, and the Team Rocket trio nodded frequently, and Pikachu also nodded. Except for the dazed Molly, even Delia sighed.

Seeing Ash's performance, Suicune, who came to observe Ash, also nodded unconsciously.

As expected of the Rainbow Hero, regardless of the operation, just say whether he is brave or not! That's too brave!

As expected of the guy personally selected by Ho-Oh... Appearing in front of him at that time was the right choice. This child... maybe he can really become a Pokémon Master!

The kind of master who fights hand-to-hand with Pokémon!

Everyone (Pokémon) reached a consensus on Ash's cognition at this time.

"Charizard, you go." Ash got up from the ground, recognized reality, and commanded Charizard to attack. Xiang Guangtai stopped Charizard's action of preparing to take off and took out an insulated box from his backpack.

Whoosh—A surging heat surged out the moment the box was opened. Before Charizard could touch the "prop," it felt a powerful flame power attracting it!

"Take this, and share them with the Entei!"

What Xiang Guangtai took out was "Charcoal"! The charcoal from Ilex Forest processed through special craftsmanship has a higher power than the original charcoal prop. It can significantly increase flame energy, stimulate the potential of Fire-type Pokémon when carried for a long time, and increase move power by an additional 35%!

"Entei 's'..." Misty joked: "Legendary Pokémon are like wholesale."

Well, is it as numerous as wild dogs on the roadside?

"Pika!" Pikachu suddenly sneezed, tilted his head and felt very strange.

At the same time, Misty's gaze towards Xiang Guangtai changed slightly.

It's like... thinking of something? Misty seemed to be confirming Xiang Guangtai's identity, but didn't say anything.

"Pikachu, it's up to you, Thunderbolt!" Ash's voice pulled the dazed Pikachu back to reality. Pikachu shook his head quickly to enter the battle state!

"Pika... Chu!" Dazzling golden electric light surged from Pikachu. As expected of the Pokémon that Team Rocket tried their best to get, Ash's Pikachu's power far exceeded its weak peers!

Huge electric light exploded on the barrier formed by the Unown, setting off ripples one after another!

"Let's start too." Xiang Guangtai looked at Misty, Brock, and the Team Rocket trio. Although they were just watching the battle in the original movie, now...

"Go, Staryu! Water Gun."

"Leave it to you, Vulpix! Flamethrower!"

"Go, Arbok! Poison Sting!"

"Please, Weezing! Sludge Attack!"

Pokémon gathered together, and various moves accompanied by attribute energy slammed violently into the Unown's barrier! Suicune in the distance also had action. Its eyes emitted strong psychic power, which was "Extrasensory"!

Well, because there are too many Fire-type Pokémon, if Water-type moves are used, it will cause a steam explosion, so use Extrasensory to control the dissipation of the Unown's power!

"Awoo!" Charizard got the benefit of Charcoal and threw the remaining charcoal to the other "Entei." Suddenly, several Fire-type Pokémon all had high power!

"What kind of power is this?" Whether it was the real Entei or the fake Entei, this thought emerged in their hearts at the same time, and only Gouging Fire, after feeling the power of this power slightly, did not hesitate at all and directly sprayed a huge pillar of fire!

Why think so much! Power is meant to be used. No matter how strong it is, deal with the problem in front of you first!

Then...

"Roar————"

A long roar sounded!

Move "Howl"! Roaring loudly to increase momentum, thereby increasing the attack of oneself and companions!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

The real Entei and the fake Entei both had state-up effects at the same time. Howl increased their attack power, and Gouging Fire laughed!

The real "strengthening" has just begun!

"Roar!!!" The second roar was a dragon's roar, which was completely different from the lion-like roar of Entei and the others! The power of the dragon bloomed and surged wildly on Gouging Fire, spraying and bombarding wantonly!

Dragon Cheer!

Increases the critical hit rate of all allies on the field except the user by 1 stage. If the companion has the Dragon type, the critical hit rate increases by 2 stages!

Unfortunately, except for Gouging Fire, the other Pokémon on the field do not have the Dragon type, but even increasing their critical hit rate by one stage is strong enough!

The three "Entei" looked at each other, nodded to each other, and violent flames wrapped around their bodies at the same time! Open their sharp claws, press all their strength and body, and turn this body into an invincible blade!

Then triple "Flare Blitz"!

"Unown Unown~!"

The Unown were obviously panicked. Although their power went out of control, causing them to be unable to control themselves and forced to gather together and even open a big barrier, the combined attack of three Entei + one Suicune, and a group of Pokémon, still scared them enough!

If the barrier was broken, everyone would be blown away!

Quack, don't, we don't want to die!

Out of the need for survival, the Unown actually started to gather power actively, sparing no effort to put their own psychic power into the barrier. The situation had reached the point where it was out of their control, and three violent fire lights slammed into the barrier!

This made the Unown's barrier almost explode on the spot. The power of the three Flare Blitzes formed huge ripples surging on the barrier. The Unown turned faster, and Molly, who was watching all this from afar and couldn't do anything, felt lost in her heart.

She is not a Pokémon Trainer after all, and now she can't do anything.

Wu...

The Amulet of Courage suddenly became hot. When Molly gripped the amulet, the feeling of loss in her heart gradually disappeared, and more rational thinking gradually burst out. At the same time, she heard Xiang Guangtai's voice:

"Believe in your father. This is your mental world. As long as you firmly believe that Entei can do everything, then it can really do it."

"But Daddy lost to you." Molly still remembered this.

Xiang Guangtai could only return an awkward but polite smile to this, and at the same time told her: "If you go out to travel in the future, victory and defeat will alternate and happen frequently. No one can win all the time, and no one will lose all the time. Pokémon battle is such a thing."

"Learn to accept failure and succeed next time."

"That's right!" Ash also clenched his fists and taught Molly his "experience": "I have been traveling for a long time, and I have fought with many trainers. There have been times when I was defeated and regretted, but as long as I believe in my Pokémon, then I will definitely create miracles!"

"Believe in yourself! Next time, next time you will definitely not lose!"

Ash's encouragement gave Molly courage, and the Pokémon also responded to Ash's call. Their power rose instantly. This was a visible increase in strength, which made Xiang Guangtai think that if Ash possessed the Aura of Viridian, he would be truly invincible.

The Aura of Viridian is a powerful ability given to specific people by the Viridian Forest in the Kanto region, including but not limited to healing Pokémon, reading Pokémon's thoughts, and at the same time, using the power of the Viridian Forest to make his Pokémon's level rise with his fighting spirit!

A trainer who believes so firmly that his Pokémon will win, and a Rainbow Hero who is full of bonds with his Pokémon, if he gets the Aura of Viridian, then the amplification will definitely be more terrifying than the original owner of this power, "Yellow"!

And the fake Entei, who sensed Molly's mental changes, also began to encourage Molly and expressed his true feelings:

"Molly... I'm really happy."

"Being able to be your father, and the last thing I can do for you is to let you escape from here to the outside!"

"I was born from your dream. As long as you are willing to believe in me, then I can do anything!"

"This time, Daddy won't fail again!"

Molly looked at the fake Entei who was fighting hard, and gripped the amulet in her hand. She subconsciously used the prop as a spiritual sustenance, and the power of the amulet gave her courage again!

"Come on... Daddy, come on!"

The child's mental power influenced this place again, and Xiang Guangtai appropriately used the Soul Amplification ability!

Huge mental power poured into the bodies of the Entei. Not only did the phantom Entei feel his power rise significantly, but the real Entei and Gouging Fire were the same!

Hmm, did this girl subconsciously treat all Entei as "fathers"?

The real Entei had such thoughts in his mind.

Then, although not a real father, at least for now, let's respond to the girl's call!

The flames of Flare Blitz completely wrapped the runaway barrier, and the power of the Unown was extremely compressed.

"Still a little bit short, much more exaggerated than in the original work." Xiang Guangtai thought. At this time, Doublade, who was constantly throwing Psycho Cuts but had little effect, sensed the ripples of Aura.

The power of Pokémon, the power of Entei, the power of Suicune, and the power of Unown.

Countless Auras gathered into an ocean, and in it... saw the "vital point"!

"Yo!"

Doublade overlapped the two swords by mistake and made a request to Xiang Guangtai.

"Do you think you can use it?" Xiang Guangtai listened to Doublade's voice, slightly surprised, but looking at this reckless guy who showed a serious expression... ah, just eyes widened!

But the look is not bad!

"Is that so? Then I will help you." Xiang Guangtai raised his hand and aimed at Doublade's position.

Soul and spiritual amplification!

The range of Aura that Doublade could see in its two eyes became even larger. Those increasingly subtle Aura ripples could also be seen clearly. Aura is the power of life, and all Pokémon and humans possess different Auras.

Even that phantom Entei possesses Aura! Does this mean that it is also a life that truly exists in the world?

This question is too philosophical. Doublade doesn't think about it at all. Now, just consider one thing.

That is... draw the sword!

With the help of these Aura powers, the move used is...

Aura Sphere?

No!

Doublade's mental state was exceptionally good at this time. It had never felt that the power of the soul was so high, and so calm and enthusiastic. Those contradictory moods appeared at the same time, perfectly integrated!

Concentrate all will on one strike! There are no distractions or thoughts, that is pure clarity!

Use greater power to leave smaller and deeper sword marks on the stone. I couldn't do it before, but now, after sensing a large number of Aura ripples and detecting the vital point of the barrier, I can do it!

Ultimate move!

"Sacred Sword!"
