Team Magma didn't have time to pay attention to him; they all released their Pokémon to surround Ash.
The pack of large wolfhounds instantly formed a battle formation, baring their teeth at the enemy.
"Hmph, this is a volcanic crater. Your powerful forest lizard can't exert much of its strength here."
"Just surrender obediently, that's the truly wise choice!"
Thanks to the deliberate cover provided by the Fire Goose, the information about Ash in the Fire Village was severely delayed, and they still thought that the strongest Pokémon in his team was the Grovyle.
At that moment, his confident and self-assured demeanor made him appear almost pathetic.
"They're all Dark-type Pokémon." Ash crossed his arms and looked around nonchalantly.
"They're Team Magma, yet they don't have a single Fire or Ground-type Pokémon. At least Team Ocean is all Water-type."
"But it is indeed less constrained by the terrain, so let's go, Mighty Chicken!"
"Chapter!"
With so many Dark-type Pokémon, it's a great opportunity for Combusken to practice, and Ash won't waste it, so he promptly sends it into battle.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt cover! Combusken, use Double Kick!"
The two Pokémon coordinated skillfully. Pikachu unleashed Thunderbolt, striking the ground around Ash and kicking up clouds of dust, successfully obscuring the vision of the attacking forces.
Then, under the cover of the smoke and dust, the Mighty Chicken kept weaving back and forth, occasionally unleashing a double kick.
With its type advantage, the Mighty Chicken can easily take down an opponent with a single kick, and it can easily knock down two large wolfhounds in one turn.
Despite their seemingly numerous numbers, the enemies are utterly no match for the Mighty Chicken.
The Combusken was thoroughly enjoying itself, kicking with increasing vigor and becoming more and more addicted, the entire Pokémon was caught up in the exhilarating excitement of battle.
It's supposed to be an acceleration feature, but right now it's as excited as if it's been set on fire.
"Chamo! Chamo! Chamo..."
"hateful!"
Hearing the screams and thuds of people falling to the ground all around him, Himura finally couldn't stand it any longer.
When they came to the volcano for this mission, they didn't bring the infrared goggles that were standard equipment for the lava team. Unexpectedly, the smoke and dust made them completely blind.
"You bunch of useless trash, can't you see or smell anything? A wolfhound is a dog, after all!"
"But the smoke and dust from the crater is too pungent."
Himura clicked his tongue and could only release his own Gnatif.
Normally, as a leader, he would never do this kind of dangerous, suicide mission, but now he has no choice.
"Goblin, use Wind Blast! Blow away all the smoke and dust around here!"
"Bat~"
The Pokémon he personally raised were indeed much stronger than the soldiers'. With a single flap of its wings, Zubat stirred up a gust of wind that swept away the dust on the field.
But the moment the smoke cleared, he was completely dumbfounded.
"What happened? They all collapsed?"
At this point, all of Team Lava's big dogs were dead, lying on the ground, unable to get up.
Even the last remaining large wolfhound, which still had some strength, had its head firmly stomped under the feet of the strong chicken.
Faced with the powerful rooster towering above, the large wolfhound could only be kicked unconscious and rendered incapable of fighting, under its disdainful gaze.
At this moment, the Mighty Rooster waved its thick arms and roared to the sky, as if a war god had been reborn.
"Well done, strong chicken, but there's still room for improvement in your skills."
Ash was a little disappointed that he hadn't defeated all the enemies and made a final show of bravado before the smoke cleared.
"In short, remember that pride comes before a fall, and you still need to keep working hard!"
“Qia Mao”.
Upon hearing this, Mighty Chicken immediately put away its arrogant nature and returned to Ash's side.
At this moment, Himura's narrow eyes darted around, and his usually quite clever mind finally cleared up. He realized that Ash was not someone he could mess with right now.
Almost instantly, he demonstrated the qualities of an excellent leader, and without hesitation, he led his men away.
"Bigmouth Bat, Black Mist!"
There was no boasting or threats; his turn around was swift and decisive. Ash deserves a perfect score of 10.
Their speed in making a run for their lives was astonishing, even comparable to the Rockets of yesteryear.
"As expected of one of the biggest evil organizations in the Hoenn region, their escape skills are just as good as those in the Kanto region."
Ash didn't stop them; he simply let them board his helicopter and escape through the air.
Ash wouldn't care if they were caught by the League.
Since they were caught by me, I can teach them a lesson and let them go as long as I don't cause any big trouble.
After all, Ash still needs them to find Groudon.
Even the Marines at the control center, Ash asked Sen to pretend to come and rescue them.
This would allow A-Quan to build up his prestige within the organization, while also ensuring that the members of the Ocean Team would continue to serve him.
"So, this is a meteorite left over from the ancient times? It doesn't look particularly special on the outside."
Ash tossed a basketball-sized meteorite in his hand as he walked toward Professor Solitude, who was tied up by Team Magma not far away.
The strong chicken immediately lunged forward with its claws, cutting the ropes binding Solans and helping him to his feet.
"Thank you so much. Otherwise, if bad people had used the meteorite for some evil purpose, I really wouldn't know what to do."
Solance dusted himself off and smiled as he thanked Ash and the others.
"It's all part of our job," Xiao Zhi said with a smile, waving his hand to indicate that it wasn't important.
Suddenly, without paying attention, Ash's hand slipped while throwing the meteorite, and the meteorite fell from his hand.
Dr. Solans was immediately alarmed, and Ash quickly reached out to grab him.
But in that instant, Ash exerted force and crushed the entire meteorite.
"Ah, it's broken!" Solans turned ashen with shock, and Ash was incredulous as well.
"What's going on? Aren't meteorites supposed to be extremely hard?"
Is it like a diamond, only hard but brittle?
At this moment, Solans finally calmed down and carefully observed the meteorite on the ground.
"I tried many cutting instruments before but couldn't cut through its surface, but Xiaozhi, you broke it with just one squeeze. Is it because you're special?"
Ash quickly used his telekinesis to carefully collect all the small pieces of meteorite that had broken off from the ground.
He then unexpectedly discovered a round crystal emitting a blue light that seemed particularly dazzling in the small meteorite pile.
Ash moved it out of the package of rubble and placed it in his palm. Suddenly, a notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a new legendary item: "Indigo Orb" +1]
[Indigo Orb: An orb that emits a blue glow, said to contain ancient, mysterious power.]
"What, an indigo orb?" Ash exclaimed.
This should be a matching set with the crimson jewel he obtained earlier, and it belongs to Kyogre.
No wonder Team Magma failed to activate the ley lines using the meteorite's energy; it turns out the meteorite contained an indigo orb symbolizing Kyogre's power.
It would be a miracle if the earth veins could be successfully activated then.
Natural energy has no inherent bias, so the Lava Team's plan might actually succeed.
However, once Kyogre's power is mixed in, it becomes completely useless.
While Ash was surprised by the appearance of the indigo orb, Professor Solence didn't notice at all.
At this moment, Solans's eyes shone brightly as he stared intently at the cluster of meteorite fragments.
"Oh, so this is what the inside of an ancient meteorite looks like."
He took out the instruments he carried with him and began to study the pile of meteorite fragments with great enthusiasm.
"The natural energy is still abundant, and the total amount has not decreased at all... It's truly incredible."
"That doctor..."
The camera flashes kept going off, but Ash was still using his telekinesis to keep the meteorite fragment from dispersing.
But now Dr. Solans acted as if he didn't exist, constantly taking pictures and samples of the meteorite fragments, completely ignoring the fact that Ash was still there.
Ash called out several more times before Solance finally reacted.
"Ah? Sorry, sorry, Ash. That's just how I am. I can't control myself when I encounter such a rare meteorite."
After saying that, Solans picked out a small piece from the meteorite fragments in front of Ash and gently placed it into the container he carried with him.
"Alright, this is enough for my next research."
"Ash, as agreed before, the remaining meteorites are yours."
"Will this be alright, Doctor?"
Seeing how generous the other party was, Xiao Zhi felt a little embarrassed.
Although I really wanted it, it seemed too greedy to take so much of this meteorite since it was found by someone else.
However, Solans didn't care at all.
"It's alright. I owe you a lot for saving me this time. Besides, you were recommended by Champion Michael, so I can rest assured that I can entrust such a precious thing to you."
Seeing that the other party had said so, Xiao Zhi accepted it without hesitation.
With his powerful mental strength, Ash slowly pieced together the large mass of meteorite fragments back into their original form, much like playing with a jigsaw puzzle.
Except for the very center where the indigo jewel used to be, it's exactly the same as before.
With a forceful squeeze using telekinesis, the meteorite fragments miraculously reformed into a single entity through the binding of natural energy.
"Mission accomplished! I had long suspected that the natural energy in meteorites was so concentrated and viscous, and I didn't expect it to actually work!"
