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

But these waves are getting stronger and stronger, and it's likely that before long, another massive wave, hundreds of meters high, will hit again.

However, reinforcements from the archipelago arrived, and the people in the outer city were gradually relocated.

The number of people in the square dwindled, and residents in the central city opened their doors to welcome refugees from the outer city.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the relocation of these hundreds of thousands of people was miraculously completed in a short period of time.

This is also what makes the Pokémon world so beautiful; people are often filled with trust and love, and everyone believes that helping each other in times of trouble is the right thing to do.

Moreover, serious incidents were extremely rare. Finally, after the last people in the central city had entered the house, Canon immediately controlled the temple machine to put the main city into a closed state.

Next, the goal is to make the shield withstand the remaining wave attacks as much as possible.

Although there are waterproofing measures in the central urban area, those were built intermittently over the past few hundred years, and who knows if some of them are broken.

We should prevent the tsunami from breaching the barrier if possible, because life is not something to gamble with.

Then, wave after wave came, and Latias and Latios did their best to maintain the energy of the shield.

But Latias soon collapsed from exhaustion, and Canon immediately carried her aside to rest.

Next, we can only rely on Latios; the blue light of the shield dimmed considerably.

Outside the protective barrier, Ash and Blackie were still trying their best to weaken the waves, but Blackie was already panting heavily.

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

Hearing Pikachu's call from his shoulder, Ash looked over and saw a giant wave, hundreds of meters high, approaching.

"Of all times, it had to come at this time." Ash glanced at the protective barrier behind him. If a wave hit him in the current situation, he would probably be finished.

But if Ash were to directly fight those super-giant waves that are hundreds of meters high, he could only say that he would do his best.

Little Black looked at the wave with resentment. It hated losing, even if the opponent's power was natural.

But even after it had already taken action, the waves still wouldn't obediently disappear, which made it very unhappy. Little Black looked at the waves opposite and suddenly roared to the sky, its aura constantly rising.

In some unknown sea area, a huge silver-white figure suddenly opened its eyes and responded with a howl.

A massive amount of energy surged from the heavens and earth towards Xiao Hei at that moment, leaving Xiao Zhi completely dumbfounded.

"What happened?"

Little Black suddenly grew bigger, its size jumping from 2.5 meters to 4 meters.

[Ding! God of the Sea: Favorability +5]

[Ding! Congratulations on acquiring a new skill: Self-Regeneration]

It was the God of the Sea! Had it arrived? Ash was overjoyed.

If the God of the Sea had come, this crisis could have been resolved immediately. Unfortunately, he sensed no trace of the God of the Sea in his surroundings.

Just as Ash was feeling disappointed, Blackie inhaled and gathered energy, unleashing a massive, dark vortex.

"hold head high!"

A massive vortex of black and purple air slammed violently into the waves, and the originally huge waves gradually shrank under Xiao Hei's attack.

Finally, when the waves approached the protective barrier, they were only a few meters high.

"Aww~ Aww~" (Now you know who's the boss!)

Seeing that it had defeated the 100-meter giant wave, Little Black was extremely proud, and Little Ash immediately praised it as well.

"Well done, Xiao Hei!"

"Pikachu!" (Well done!)

Then the sky finally began to brighten.

"Is it finally going to end?" Ash breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But then Canon contacted him, saying, "Sorry, Ash, I'm afraid I can't rest yet."

"According to past records, there is one last wave of the sea just as the sun is about to rise."

"And it's the biggest and fiercest wave; the real end will only come after we get through it."

"But that's the last one!"

Victory was within reach, so Ash quickly patted Blackie's head to cheer him up.

"Little Black, Dark Cyclone!"

But then Little Black suddenly wilted, its aura returned to normal, and it fell from the sky onto the sea, unable to fly anymore.

"Has it reached its limit...?"

"You've done a great job. Come back and rest, Xiao Hei." Xiao Zhi understood that Xiao Hei had done his best, and he had done his best tonight as well.

Ash recalled Black into his Poké Ball and took Pikachu off the sea to observe the last wave gradually forming in the distance.

But what he saw startled him.

The final wave was extremely terrifying; Xiao Zhi estimated that it was 500 meters high and several kilometers wide.

It stretched as far as the eye could see, and its power was only increasing.

This wave could probably sink Water City along with the islands beneath it.

The isolation measures in the central urban area are useless now; without people on the island, no one can survive.

This leaves absolutely no way out! Xiao Zhi took the yellow-skinned mouse off his shoulder.

"These waves are too big, Pikachu, why don't you go back into your Poké Ball and hide for a while?"

Ash was worried that Pikachu would be swept away by the sea.

But Pikachu firmly shook its head; it still wanted to stay outside with Ash.

"Really?" Xiao Zhi understood, and quickly released Xiao Hei, grabbing it by the neck.

"Quickly, Little Black, call out! Quickly summon the God of the Sea!"

The little black dog, completely bewildered by the swaying, was also quite innocent; it wanted to too.

But the god of the sea cannot be summoned so easily by simply calling out.

Rain lashed at Ash's face, his clothes were soaked through, and he was so drunk on stamina-restoring potions that he was about to vomit.

Is all we can do now just pray that the Water City's shield can withstand this wave?

It doesn't seem like it can survive no matter how you look at it!

But then a huge wave crashed against the already crumbling barrier.

The barrier only held for a short while before shattering with a bang.

Ash immediately rode his little black dog towards the altar in Water City, determined to rescue Canon, Latios, and Latias.

At that moment, Latios, the elder brother in the sanctuary, suddenly rushed over, his body emitting a brilliant light.

With a loud howl, Latios's radiance, along with the slowly rising sunlight, spilled onto the waves.

A blue power emanated from it, and the waves were calmed down.

As the towering waves subsided, Ash saw a small, silvery-white figure fall into the Water City below.

Although I really want to see what fell, now is not the time to worry about that.

Latios!

Latios fell helplessly from the sky, and Ash quickly picked it up and brought it back to the vicinity of the sanctuary.

I immediately gave Latios a healing potion, but unfortunately its life force was still fading away.

The fact that the massive waves were stopped has severely damaged its very lifeblood.

At this moment, Canon, Bengrave, and Latias also arrived.

Latias cried out sadly as it saw Latios lying in Ash's arms.

Latios's body slowly dissipated into the shape of a heart droplet.

"Ah~"

Latios disappeared, and Pikachu's face was also filled with sorrow. Even Kuro abandoned his usual carefree attitude and lowered his head.

Canon buried her face in her grandfather's arms and sobbed.

"Latios sacrificed himself to save the people here and protect the future of Water City."

“We have been saved by Latios once again.” Bengrei was also plunged into deep sorrow.

At this moment, Latios's soul slowly emerged from the drop of heart, waving to everyone in the sky, as if bidding farewell.

Latias looked sadly at Latios's soul; losing his only family member was too cruel for Latias.

But then Ash took out Ho-Oh's Feather, and a warm power emanated from Ash's body through the rainbow-colored feather.

Latios's soul was instantly drawn back, and the grieving people around him watched this scene in shock.

"Hey Ash, are you sure you want to use the Rainbow Wing?"

At that moment, Entei popped out of the Poké Ball and looked at the feather in Ash's hand with a pained expression.

However, even if Ash actually uses it in this situation, it will only support it, since it is to save Latios's life, but it will still feel sorry for it.

"No, there's no need to use the Rainbow Feather directly." Ash had other plans when he took it out.

"Please, Shrub!"

Celebi appeared when Rainbow Feather protected Latios's soul.

It immediately understood what Xiaozhi meant and stretched out its little hand with all its might.

"Compare! Compare!"

Green light enveloped the Heart Drop and Latios's soul, and Latios's body, which was gradually dissipating, experienced a time reversal at this moment.

Its body slowly solidified and reappeared in Ash's arms, but Celebi showed signs of gradually withering again.

Celebi, which had been nurtured by Ash's side for so long and whose body had gradually returned to its plump state, now looked withered again.

It lay panting heavily on Ash's shoulder, but it shouldn't be anything serious.

It's just that Xiao Zhi needs to rest and recover for a while longer.
