Chapter 72

【Maylene: I do know of another method, which is learning the power of Aura, but apart from the legendary Aura Guardian, I haven't heard of any human being able to master the power of Aura.】

Audience: Hiss~

Is that for real?

Don't tell me Ash also knows the power of Aura besides Longdao Dance!

Confirmed! Ash is a Pokémon!

……

In the footage—

Led by the Dragonair, Lapras galloped on the sea surface.

Not long after, four figures appeared on the sea.

They were all draped in a tattered blanket, looking like shipwreck survivors.

However, having dealt with the Team Rocket trio for so many years.

Ash saw through their true identities at a glance.

However, this time Team Rocket didn't look very smart.

Beside them, they had also imprisoned a Dragonite that had been lured over.

"Team Rocket, it's you guys again!" Ash asked the soul-searching question.

Team Rocket, who were originally still pretending, immediately acted as if some switch had been turned on.

"Since you've asked with such sincerity."

"Then I'll tell you with great mercy."

"……"

After the passion, the Team Rocket trio looked at each other.

Originally, after seeing Ash at the pier, they had been following Ash.

Wanting to capture Pikachu, but they were blocked by the storm and couldn't enter Dragonite Island.

By mistake, they were treated as shipwreck survivors by the Dragonite, and the trio saw it.

Dragonite, hey, we have to capture this!

Just as they were preparing to repeat their old tricks, the scene from just now happened.

Realizing they were exposed, Team Rocket immediately took out a gacha machine and summoned a Wailord.

Both sides immediately started a battle, and Pikachu, under Ash's command, also took the opportunity to save the Dragonite.

However, there was an accident; the Wailord triggered a large-scale tsunami.

Ash and Facing Xiao Chun were both blown into mid-air.

"Dragonite, don't worry about me, save Facing Xiao Chun first."

The Dragonite saved Facing Xiao Chun, but when the Dragonair prepared to catch Ash, it couldn't be held because its body was too slippery.

The Dragonair watched helplessly as Ash fell toward the sea.

At that moment, the Dragonair finally understood one thing.

Even though Milotic is more like the evolved form of Dragonair, Dragonair will still evolve into Dragonite.

That's because... it wants to use its hands to protect the most important person!

At this moment, a brilliant light of evolution enveloped the Dragonair.

The Dragonair evolved~

The orange Dragonite flew to Ash's side, and it held Ash firmly in its arms!

The bond was forged at this moment, the fated encounter between Ash and Dragonite!

After Facing Xiao Chun was put back on Lapras's back by another Dragonite, it hit the Team Rocket trio back into the sky with a Hyper Beam.

And that Dragonite, evolved from the Dragonair, naturally became Ash's Pokémon.

At the same time, Dragonite also became Ash's third pseudo-legendary level Pokémon after Gible and Goodra!

【Matori: Are you three sure you aren't traitors to Team Rocket? Besides wasting the activity funds, this operation just let the Dragonair evolve into Dragonite? And this Dragonite was captured by Ash?】

【James: Executive! Listen to our sophistry! We would absolutely never betray Team Rocket!】

【Lance: Interesting, I didn't expect Team Rocket to have traitors, are you interested in joining our Alliance? Five insurances and one fund, weekends off, and year-end bonuses.】

【Jessie: Really!】

【Matori:???】

No, do you really want to betray Team Rocket?

The Team Rocket trio was indeed a bit tempted.

Five insurances and one fund, weekends off, year-end bonuses.

It seemed they couldn't refuse any of them.

"Should we really defect?"

"Don't joke around! Think about Boss Giovanni!" James stopped Jessie's wild thoughts in time.

After associating Giovanni's face in their minds, the three of them shivered in unison.

Their dog lives are important!

Anyway! They would absolutely never betray Team Rocket!

……

In the footage—

After happily sending Team Rocket away, Ash and Facing Xiao Chun also returned to Vermilion City.

Vermilion City Pier.

Ash took out a Poké Ball he had treasured for a long time and put Lapras into it.

"From now on, we won't be separated."

Seeming to feel Ash's emotions, the Poké Ball in his hand also shook gently.

Returning to the Sakuragi Institute, Facing Xiao Chun sent all the materials she collected to Professor Sakuragi.

Professor Sakuragi was very excited, he didn't expect the legend to be true.

Dragonite Island really exists, but when he finished reading all the materials.

He silently destroyed all these materials.

Human greed would harm these Dragonite; once the location of Dragonite Island is exposed.

Then things like Team Rocket pretending to be shipwreck survivors to lure Dragonite would happen one after another.

Maybe even worse things would happen by then.

It's better to let the Dragonite live carefree on Dragonite Island.

Therefore, Professor Sakuragi took the initiative to destroy the materials Facing Xiao Chun brought back, and in the end, except for a photo of Ash, Facing Xiao Chun, and Pikachu on Dragonite Island.

All traces related to Dragonite Island were erased.

【Professor Kukui: I strongly agree with Professor Sakuragi's approach, it's better to let the Dragonite live on their own.】

【Lance: Everyone can rest assured, our Longdao Clan will always protect Dragonite Island.】

【Idiot Xiao Idiot Xiao Mao: Grandpa! I also want a Dragonite!】

【Professor Oak: Want what! Go find one yourself!】

【Idiot Xiao Idiot Xiao Mao: I am your own grandson!】

……

In the footage—

Ash let out the Dragonite and introduced it to the Scorbunny he captured in Galar.

Facing a pseudo-legendary, Scorbunny was not timid at all.

'Are you the new disciple Master captured?'

'What is a disciple?'

'That's not important, call me Senior Sister from now on!'

'What is a Senior Sister?'

'That's also not important, follow me from now on, I guarantee you'll eat well and drink well!'

'But I prefer eating sweet things~'

Looking at the two Pokémon communicating constantly, Pikachu spread its hands helplessly.

You guys haven't figured out your own positioning yet. ===== CHAPTER 73 =====
