Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

"I think the Unknown Totem is a reaction to Xiaomei's inner thoughts."

"That crystal tower was manifested based on Xiaomei's inner thoughts."

Xiaoxia looked up at the towering tower.

"In other words, to resolve this crisis, all we need to do is bring Xiaomei out, right, Doctor?"

"That's roughly it. As long as we can get Xiaomei away from the location where the unknown totem is sensing, those totems should stop."

Having understood their goal, Ash and his friends quickly continued on their way.

Now all the plants and buildings in the green grassland have been crystallized, making it look both beautiful and eerie.

Especially Dr. Xiuli's house, that huge manor castle is now completely covered by crystals, and the entrance is nowhere to be found.

Finally, Rin found that the artificial river inside the castle was not covered by crystals, so Ash carried Rin and Misty and jumped onto it.

Following the direction of the river, they kicked down the drain gate and entered the castle.

At that moment, a television reporter happened to be reporting on this spectacular crystal tower from a distant hillside.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look at this peculiar building. It is the home of Dr. Hsui, the once world-renowned Pokémon researcher."

"But at this moment, a sudden and major change occurred, but Professor Oak has already assembled a temporary emergency committee and arrived on the green meadow..."

"The situation here remains extremely dangerous, so please do not approach."

Suddenly, the photographer's lens drifted into the distance, and just as the reporter was about to get angry, he heard...

"Huh? What do you mean a boy carrying two girls kicked down the outer wall and ran inside?"

"Hey, quick, take a picture! Take a picture over there!"

Ash's heroic act of entering the Crystal Tower was broadcast throughout the Johto region via television.

At this moment, in Xiaomei's room on the highest floor of the Crystal Tower, she was happily leaning against Hanako's chest.

He kept muttering "Mom" under his breath.

Mei's biological mother left when she was very young.

Although her father loves her very much, he is too busy with work to spend much time with her.

That's why Xiaomei's intense emotions caused the Unknown Totem to go berserk when she learned that her father had also left and she would never see him again.

And now, just like in the fairy tales he had always told me, my father has transformed into Emperor Yan and returned to be with me.

She also brought a new mother, and Xiaomei felt very happy at that moment, no longer lonely.

As for why they went to capture Hanako to be Xiaomei's mother, it's because Xiaomei saw a photo of Shuri and Oki Hanako together.

Misunderstanding that Hanako was her mother, this Yan Emperor, summoned by the energy of an unknown totem, actually brought Hanako over to make Misunderstanding happy.

They were watching TV at that moment, and the news broadcast was about Ash breaking into the Crystal Tower.

"That older brother has Pikachu with him, Mom, is he a Pokémon Trainer?"

"um, yes."

Upon seeing Ash, Hanako snapped out of the control exerted by the Unknown Totem energy.

However, there was a "fierce beast" watching from the side, and for Xiaomei's safety, she could only continue to pretend that she was still being controlled.

"So, Xiaomei, should we drive them all away?"

Emperor Yan came to Xiao Mei's side and asked softly. Its tall stature and majestic appearance were full of pressure.

However, when Xiao Mei called it "Dad," this Yan Emperor really treated itself as Xiao Mei's dad.

Everything it does now is genuinely to make Xiaomei happy.

It's willing to do anything as long as Xiaomei is happy.

"No, Dad, I want them to play with me."

The child's tone was innocent and romantic; he still hadn't realized the trouble he had caused.

"Of course, I'll do anything you want."

"As long as you're happy, Xiao Mei."

The way Emperor Yan doted on Xiao Mei surprised Hanako.

After speaking, Xiao Mei slowly fell asleep in Hanako's arms, while Yan Di sank step by step from the floor as if sinking into water.

It transformed into a spirit and ran from the upper levels of the Crystal Tower towards Ash and his friends' location.

A faint image of Xiao Mei also appeared on Yan Di's back; it was her consciousness and soul leaving her body.

"Dad, do you think I can become a Pokémon Trainer when I grow up?"

"Of course, Xiaomei, it's absolutely possible if you want to."

Having received an affirmative answer from Emperor Yan, Xiao Mei smiled happily.

"Once you grow up, you can become a Pokémon Trainer."

Within the crystallized space, her body immediately began to change in response to her thoughts.

She had transformed from a little girl into a slender, mature woman, and even her voice had changed.

It's legal now, oh, what a disappointment. (I shouldn't be disappointed!)

At this moment, Ash and his friends finally arrived at the bottom of the Crystal Tower.

The corridors inside the tower wind upwards, stretching as far as the eye can see.

"Just how high is this place?" Xiaoxia and Lihua both felt tired just looking at it.

Dr. Xiuli is truly wealthy; her home is not only a large estate, but her house is also dozens of stories high.

With no other option, Ash could only continue carrying Misty and Blossom, hopping upwards step by step.

Unexpectedly, the scenery around me changed suddenly after I took just a few steps up the stairs.

The staircase has been transformed from rustic stone steps into a long corridor made of transparent crystal.

Everything around us felt like we were in another dimension.

Moreover, the scenery changes every few steps.

Ash and his friends went up the stairs and opened the door to the next room, only to find that it was not a room but a vast, alternate dimension.

Inside, the sun shines brightly, birds sing, and flowers bloom; the grass is covered with wildflowers.

"Where have we come to?" The scene before her eyes shocked Pear Blossom.

"Don't be surprised by anything that happens in this tower." After all, the entire crystal tower is a manifestation of Xiaomei's imagination.

At this moment, Emperor Yan arrived before them, carrying the grown-up Xiao Mei.

"That face is Xiaomei. It's very dangerous here. Come with us and we'll get out of here quickly."

Having seen the photo, Xiaoxia immediately recognized the person opposite her.

I wanted to try persuasion to see if I could convince Xiaomei to go with them.

Unfortunately, the fact that Xiaomei could materialize such a tower full of spikes shows that she is resisting the outside world.

Sure enough, Xiao Mei got excited as soon as she heard that Xiao Xia was going to take her away.

"I don't want to. I've always been alone before."

"Now that I have my mom and dad here, I'm not lonely anymore, so I don't want to leave!"

"That's right, Xiaomei is going to live here with me!"

It's impossible to reason with a child who has an adult backing her up.

"I want to battle you Pokémon!"

Xiao Mei jumped off Entei's back and excitedly took out her Poké Ball.

Upon hearing this, Ash and Misty exchanged a glance, and immediately understood each other.

Ash stayed behind to deal with Entei and the others, while Misty and Rin immediately went to rescue Hanako.

"Okay, but I want to fight Emperor Yan."

"After all, if you have a suitable partner, you should battle with a matching Pokémon."

As Ash spoke, he released Suicune, which stopped Entei from stopping Misty and Rin from going upstairs.

"Wow, it's a legendary Pokémon, just like Dad."

The child was still a child, and was immediately drawn to the sudden appearance of Suicune.

"Okay, okay, I want to fight it!"

Seeing that Mei was happy, Entei temporarily withdrew his gaze and turned all his attention to Ash.

"It's actually Suijun..." Emperor Yan stared at the Eight Treasure Porridge with a wary expression.

At this moment, Babaozhou was also looking at Yandi across from him with a blank expression.

"Ah, this, this, this..."

This Flame Emperor is incredibly powerful, both in size and aura.

Eight Treasure Porridge quickly ran to Ash's side.

"Boss, this isn't right. You want me to fight that guy over there?"

"Why don't you have the confidence to beat it, Eight Treasure Porridge?"

"Is that even a question?!" Suicune wanted to yell at Ash.

But when he saw the slightly throbbing veins on Ash's arm, he swallowed his words.

"No, how could that be?" He swallowed hard again and stood back in his original spot, his body trembling.

"Then the competition rules will be one-on-one, so the opponent will be Suicune versus Entei."

Xiao Mei jumped up happily, and a battlefield miraculously appeared on the grass.

Emperor Yan strode confidently to the other side of the battlefield, still looking dashing.

Suicune, on the other hand, moved over little by little, inch by inch.
