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

Page 649

There was actually a closed battle arena with a blue theme inside that room.

Among them, a Sun Rock and a Moon Stone are engaged in a fierce battle.

The two Pokémon darted and weaved within the grid space, unleashing a continuous barrage of attack beams.

Both the Sun Rock and the Moon Stone are quite powerful.

The trainers who command them are two boys who look extremely similar and wear the same uniform.

The young boy and girl were both focused intently on the battlefield.

After the Sun Rock was blasted open by the Moonstone, the boy inside shouted.

"Sun Rock, bathed in blazing sunlight!"

At that moment, the girl opposite him immediately smiled.

"Hmph, Feng, this is where your immaturity lies."

"Solar Blaze takes a long time to charge up and fire, so the timing of its use is crucial to a trainer's skill. You're far from good enough."

"Moonstone, Freeze Ray!"

The crescent-shaped Pokémon instantly fired an icy blue beam from its pointed mouth, shooting straight towards the center of Solrock.

The Sunrock didn't even have a chance to dodge; the beam of light overhead was still gathering power, but the entire Pokémon had already been frozen into an ice sculpture.

It quickly rolled over in mid-air, losing its ability to fight.

"Ah, Sun Rock."

Seeing this, the boy named Feng had no choice but to quickly recall his Pokémon.

"Damn it, we were so close just now! If we hadn't been hit by the impact earlier, the solar rock would have absorbed enough solar energy..."

The boy seemed very unwilling to accept his narrow defeat, but at that moment the girl opposite him revealed the truth in a single sentence.

"When it comes to trainer command, you're not just a little bit behind, you're way behind me. I won again this time, I don't even know how many consecutive wins I've had."

"Nan, don't get too cocky! You fierce, dinosaur-like woman, I will definitely defeat you!"

The girl's eyebrows twitched. "How dare you say your cutest older sister is a dinosaur..."

After the Pokémon battle, they soon faced off in a melee between trainers.

Just then, Ash and his friends opened the door to the room and walked in.

Before they could even say hello, they were instantly lifted into the air, feeling weightless.

Seeing this, Feng and Nan immediately stopped arguing and came to Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng's side to help them steady their bodies, which were spinning around in panic.

Ash doesn't need that. He's experienced in weightlessness and can fly. Floating in mid-air makes him feel like he's home.

However, after realizing that this was actually a weightless but not vacuum environment, he immediately became interested.

"Interesting. This weightlessness was created by Libra using telekinesis, right?"

"That's right, this is the most perfect and realistic space simulation. It would take at least ten Libra puppets to achieve this. It's amazing that you could tell it right away on your first visit!"

After helping May regain her balance, Nan immediately went to Ash's side out of curiosity.

"By the way, you maintain your balance very well in zero gravity."

"Thank you for the compliment, because I go to space often."

"Huh?"

“He wasn’t lying. Back in Lilycove City, he took Pikachu and flew into space in a rocket all by himself.” May leaned on Ash’s shoulder, her head still spinning from the swaying.

"Really? That's amazing!"

At that moment, Maple looked at Ash with admiration.

"I usually only play on simulators in the control room. I've never been to space. Can you tell me what it's like to be in space?"

"Feng, don't start asking a guest you're meeting for the first time all of a sudden!"

Among the twins, the older sister was clearly the more dominant one. As soon as she spoke, Feng immediately pouted and flew to the side.

"What the hell, Nan, she was only born a few minutes before me, but she's always acting like an older sister."

At that moment, Xiao Zhi immediately recognized their identities from their names and exclaimed excitedly.

"You two are the gym leaders of Green Moor Dojo, Maple and Nan, right?"

"I'm Ash from Pallet Town, and I've come here today specifically to challenge the Mossdeep Gym. Please accept my challenge!"

Upon hearing this, Nan's mouth gaped slightly; she hadn't expected that a challenger would still come all the way here today.

"Do we really have to fight now? Can't we wait until after the rocket launch?"

"Sure, sure." Xiao Zhi didn't have any objections, after all, the rocket launch time wasn't far off.

"But why?"

"Well, our father is the director of this aerospace research institute and the astronaut who will be piloting the Sunflower Monster into space today. We're here to see him off."

"Our dad is one of the most amazing astronauts in Hoenn! His purpose in going into space this time is to investigate the Pokémon that live in space!"

"Like sun rock and moonstone."

"That's right!"

No wonder they can freely use the Libra doll at the space center here; it turns out it's the director's child.

With his own children serving as the city's Gym Leader, and himself being the director of one of Hoenn's largest space research institutes, the twins' father might be quite a formidable figure.

It's only natural for Xiaozhi to want to see his father off first, so he naturally had no objection.

They immediately agreed and arranged to hold the gym challenge immediately after the rocket launch.

Maple and Nan could then give Ash and the others a proper tour of the research institute.

"Rocket launch is a very delicate project. Every launch cannot tolerate the slightest carelessness. All steps need to be repeatedly checked to eliminate potential hazards."

"But even with such careful precautions, accidents still happen from time to time."

"However, our father's research institute has maintained a 99% launch success rate all year round, which is the best in Hoenn, so there is absolutely no problem."

After touring the area, Nan led everyone back to the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the training room and introduced the launch pad in the center of the plaza to Ash and the others.

"My dream is to one day land on a space station and build a dojo there."

"What an amazing dream, to build a dojo in the universe."

If such a gym really existed, Ash would definitely challenge it.

"But is a 99% launch success rate really okay?" Xiaoyao wasn't very trusting of anything that wasn't 100% certain.

"The more confident you feel, the more likely unexpected things are to happen."

"Sister, if you don't jinx it at a time like this, no one will think you're mute."

"Haha, nothing is absolutely foolproof, but with everyone at the research institute conducting repeated and meticulous checks, the probability of an accident is extremely low, and the launch will definitely be successful!"

Even though Xiaoyao said that, Feng and Nan were still full of confidence.

Xiao Zhi and his friends also sent their best wishes for the rocket launch.

However, at this moment, Xiaozhi seemed to detect two rather discordant figures quietly approaching the rocket launch pad.

"Hmm, why is it them?"

————A Spiritual Leap Forward————

"Amadou, do we really have to do this?"

"Of course, that goes without saying!"

Below the rocket launch pad, two figures in spacesuits were furtively trying to touch the rocket.

These two are none other than the familiar Amado and Kosaburo.

Unexpectedly, these two also happened to arrive here, and came up with a similarly wicked idea.

No wonder they're considered mortal enemies of Musashi and Kojiro; they're always on the same wavelength.

"Hey, speaking of the Rockets, how can we not mention them!"

"As long as we steal this rocket, which is equipped with the most advanced technology in the Hoenn region, and present it to Boss Giovanni!"

"He'll definitely praise us highly and promote us like rockets!"

"It's Kosaburo! Is it really going to happen? I feel like it's very unlikely."

"Just do it!"

There was nothing he could do; after all, Yamato was the team leader, so Kosaburo could only silently follow behind him.

However, just as they had evaded layers of surveillance and all ground crew, and were about to successfully sneak into the cockpit before the rocket launch...

Several long tentacles suddenly touched their shoulders.

"Wait a minute, Yamado, I'm almost done picking the lock."

"I didn't touch you?"

"Oh, who was that who just touched my shoulder?"

The two of them froze and turned their heads, only to see an alien face right in front of their helmets.

"Ah, what is this thing!"

"Beep, beep!" (Warning sound)

Amado and Kosaburo nervously pulled out their Poké Balls, ready to fight, but at that moment the booster under the rocket ignited.

Seeing this, Deoxys used his telekinesis to send them flying.

"What, what... what's going on?"

"Who am I? Where am I? What are we supposed to do...?"

"Ugh, what a horrible feeling!" ×2
