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

However, at this moment, Togepi in Xiaoxia's arms looked at the phantom and began to excitedly shake its little hands.

As it waved, its little hand suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light, resonating with the light above the illusory figure.

Before anyone could react, the light rapidly expanded, enveloping Ash and his friends, including Princess Sarah, before transforming into streams of light and flying into the phantom.

This startled the maids present, who quickly searched for them, but unfortunately could not find any trace of them.

"By Togepi, how could Her Highness the Princess suddenly disappear... The sky is falling!"

Head maid Miranda rushed to the palace to report the matter to the king.

But when she ran into the palace hall, something even more terrifying happened.

"How could it be you sitting on the throne, Your Majesty?"

"Oh my, who is this? Isn't this the person my dear little niece values ​​most?"

"You mean the king? The king is right here!"

Han Zuo's face turned sinister. He immediately waved his hand and summoned the guards to tie Miranda up.

His kind-hearted, even foolish, older brother simply couldn't bring himself to hurt him.

Knowing that Han Zuo was planning a rebellion, he still dared to come and interrogate him alone.

He seized the opportunity and, with the help of the prison guards he had already bribed, carried out a counterattack.

Having served as regent for nearly 20 years, Han Zuo could quickly take control of the entire country without bloodshed once he regained his freedom.

However, if he were to ascend the throne like this, his legitimacy would be too low.

He can only control the Kingdom of Miraju as regent for now.

"I still need to acquire Togepi and complete the succession ceremony. Only then can I gain the support of the people and become the true king!"

Standing by the window in the palace corridor, Han Zuo gazed at the magnificent capital of the kingdom, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

This time it wasn't a sudden encounter; he could freely mobilize the entire national machinery for his own use.

"Those wretched brats and little girls, prepare to face my wrath!"

Then he mobilized nearly ten thousand guards to search frantically throughout the palace and even the entire royal city, but he just couldn't find any trace of Ash and his friends and Togepi. He was so angry he almost vomited blood.

————Mysterious Guardian————

At this moment, Ash and his friends slowly revealed their figures in the light. When they opened their eyes, they found themselves in an unknown space.

The sky and earth here look completely different from the outside world, appearing pinkish, as if you've entered a fairy tale world.

As soon as Xiaoxia entered, Togepi fell asleep again.

"Where exactly is this place?"

After the initial doubts, Xiaoyao's strong curiosity was quickly ignited.

She immediately ran out from behind Xiao Zhi and started tapping and touching all the various flowers, plants, and trees around her.

"The Xiaoyao Expedition Team has completed its reconnaissance. There seems to be no danger here; it is quite peaceful and quiet."

"Sis, stop messing around." Xiao Sheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Princess Sarah also recovered from her shock and looked around curiously before her face lit up with joy.

"Ah, everything here has Togepi symbols on it... This must be Togepi Land!"

"What, this is it?"

"Yes, it must be right!"

Sarah felt incredibly lucky to have visited such a legendary place, a place that even kings throughout history rarely had the opportunity to do.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately lowered their guard and took a deep breath of the fresh air.

However, at this moment, Ash, with his superhuman eyesight, suddenly noticed something strange in the distance.

"Look everyone, something looks a little strange over there."

Everyone quickly looked over and gasped in shock.

Unlike their current location, the area not far away, although also part of Pokémon Park, presents a completely different scene.

The land was withered and desolate, and the sky and rivers seemed to be covered with a gray-black veil, giving people an uncomfortable feeling.

Suddenly, Ash's aura senses detected a few faint auras.

He quickly led his companions over, and there they saw several Togepi lying in extremely poor condition under a withered tree not far away.

Sarah immediately ran over to check on the situation with concern, and Ash and the others followed closely behind, each taking out a healing medicine.

Fortunately, none of the Togepi had any serious injuries, but when Ash and his friends gave them the medicine, it had no effect.

The Togepi still looked pained and listless.

"What exactly is going on?"

Seeing these Togepi like this made Xiaoxia feel very bad.

Unfortunately, no matter how anxious she was, it was of no use at the moment.

At that moment, Princess Sarah suddenly had an idea.

"My father once said that the Kingdom of Miraju is the country that protects Togepi Paradise, and the two worlds of protection and being protected have always maintained a balance."

"The Togepi are born in this paradise and grow up through spiritual contact with the people on earth."

"And Togepi is full of energy that can make people happy. If people can pass on happiness to it, it will also share this energy with everyone."

"However, if a person with ill intentions stays near Togepi, its happiness energy will rapidly dissipate, and it will lose its vitality..."

Thinking of this, the princess looked at the Togepi who seemed to be in immense pain and clenched her little fists.

"I'm afraid it's because of Han Zuo's previous actions that the environment inside the park has been affected, leading to the current situation."

After Ash's unsuccessful attempt to transfer Aura to Togepi and the others, he looked at Princess Sarah again.

"So, is there any way to save these Togepi?"

“Generally speaking, as long as the energy of happiness is transferred to the Togepi, they should be able to recover their spirits, but how exactly do we do that…”

Although Sarah is a princess of the Kingdom of Miraju, she is not yet the king and her knowledge is limited.

At this moment, Sheng, who was a little tired from the journey, sat down under a tree stump with Pikachu in his arms.

As he lay down, he accidentally knocked down a tree stump behind him.

Amidst the surrounding gloomy and dilapidated land, several streams of energy, formed from various negative emotions from the outside world, rapidly converged here.

Various colored dust particles suddenly gushed out from the hole in the tree stump, instantly engulfing Ash and his friends.

May, Max, and Pikachu were enveloped in blue dust and immediately fainted, their faces showing the same pained expressions as Togepi.

Ash, Misty, and Sarah were further away because they were looking after Togepi.

Ash reacted first, using his superior skills to pull the two girls back quickly, only getting slightly affected by the pink dust.

The Togepi, who were originally under the withered tree, were once again disturbed by the dust, and their expressions instantly became even more painful.

Suddenly, a familiar, cold, mechanical voice rang in Ash's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Save Paradise!": Do joyful things around the Togepi and transmit happy energy to them to save this paradise!]

【奖励：联盟币+4000；攻击+2；防御+2；自由属性点+2；超幸运徽章+1】

"Happy things, what happy things?"

At this moment, Ash finally realized that something was wrong; Misty and Sarah's faces were both flushed.

"Ugh~, it's an unfamiliar sky..." Xiaoyao rubbed her forehead and slowly sat up, looking around with some confusion.

She only remembered that she seemed to have accidentally inhaled some kind of smoke, which caused her to lose consciousness.

Suddenly she thought of her companions and immediately wanted to check on the others, but she was surprised to find that her surroundings had changed drastically.

"This area was gloomy and dark before, how come it looks exactly the same as the beautiful scenery I encountered when I first entered the space?"

Just then, several adorable, lively Togepi appeared beside Xiaoyao. Full of energy and with lovely smiles, they playfully jumped into Xiaoyao's arms.

"Togepi~"

Before Xiaoyao could react, an energy that made people feel happy immediately emanated from them.

It instantly eliminated the vague discomfort that Xiaoyao had been experiencing.

"These are the Togepi that were lying on the ground before. It's great that you've recovered!"

Xiaoyao immediately picked them up and rubbed them against her face, but the Togepi quickly jumped away again.

Just then, a gentle voice sounded from behind Xiaoyao.

"Xiaoyao, you're finally awake! That's wonderful!"

"Princess Sarah!"

Upon seeing her awake friend, Haruka immediately ran over happily.

But as soon as she got closer, she immediately realized, "Something seems a little off?"

Why is Princess Sarah's face flushed, her hair a little messy, her forehead covered in sweat, and she's even changed her royal blue dress?

"Did the princess just do some strenuous work? She looks strange, and her clothes..."

"Hahaha……"

Princess Sarah could only respond with a gentle smile when she saw Xiaoyao looking her over, and then quickly lowered her head shyly.

"That dress got damaged because of something, so darling... Satoshi-kun gave me a new one..."

"Little Zhi-kun?"
