Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

"Okay..." Xiao Lan nodded, then suddenly remembered something, "Give me that clock too, I'll find a place to enshrine it~"

"Alright."

It's fine to leave Golden Bell to Blue; Ash had been planning to do the same anyway.

Is the search for ancient Pokémon not just for a chance encounter?

Even Xiao Zhi himself didn't believe that he said that.

Leaving the two girls to wander around the island, Ash went out to sea with the two giant beasts, intending to find a suitable island nearby.

During this time, they also encountered a giant stinging jellyfish. With Alakazam trying to get close to them, the three giant beasts quickly became friends.

(This island is pretty good; the black crystal used for sealing can also be suppressed here.) Alakazam stopped in front of an island to examine the feng shui, then summoned its newly made friend, (Jellyfish, can you help me part the waves?)

The stinging jellyfish obediently extended its tentacles and rolled around, causing the seawater in front of it to suddenly part, even revealing the land on the seabed!

(Dragonite, can you make a crack in the seabed?) Alakazam then turned to Dragonite, which obediently tore open a deep trench in the seabed!

(Young man, throw the black crystal in.)

"Okay~" Ash felt there was no problem sealing the giant Gengar here.

However, neither he nor the two giant beasts noticed that in this extremely short time, Alakazam seemed to have turned the tables and taken control...

Chapter 181 Young man, I see you have extraordinary potential!

(Great, that's it.)

On the vast and magnificent sea, the ancient Alakazam unleashed its psychic powers with remarkable skill. It filled in the crack torn open by the giant Dragonite and reinforced the seal with several layers before finally stopping, satisfied with its actions.

(This way, we don't have to worry about that guy breaking free for now... but this isn't a long-term solution.)

Having done all this, the ancient Alakazam turned to Ash, its expression suddenly becoming very serious.

(A monster like this, corrupted by the power of hell, cannot be purified with just a single feather. You need to find Ho-Oh as soon as possible to properly deal with it.)

"I understand." Although he didn't know why Alakazam was suddenly so interested, Alakazam's words were kind, and Ash would definitely accept them humbly.

And actually, this is good too. With a mission to purify evil along with him, his identity as the Rainbow Hero finally has something meaningful to do.

(Next, we need to renovate this place. This island is so barren and lacks any real character.)

Alakazam surveyed the island before it, seemingly dissatisfied with its natural landscape of interwoven mountains and forests. It began to continuously cast illusion beams, adding all sorts of bizarre coral-like rocks to various parts of the island.

After that, it transformed the highest peak on the island into a huge and majestic Alakazam statue. Ash flew to a distance and looked at it, and it seemed as if a strangely shaped big fox had suddenly appeared on the sea.

Meanwhile, Alakazam specially left a high platform on the statue as a seat. It used its superpowers to fly up and sit cross-legged, its two whiskers swaying slightly, truly giving it the air of a foreign master.

"Congratulations on your new home! You should rest well. We'll... um!" Seeing that Alakazam had settled in, Ash decided to say goodbye and leave.

But just as he was about to turn around, the other party suddenly unleashed a superpower, completely taking control of his body!

"Alakazam, what do you mean by this?" Ash asked calmly.

He wasn't worried about Alakazam turning against him... Only an idiot would do something like attacking Dragonite and Tentacruel in front of them!

(Don't rush off yet. Take a good look and see if my power is really that strong.) Alakazam's smile seemed somewhat unfathomable, and even carried a hint of smugness.

"so what?"

(Young man, I see you are exceptionally talented, a once-in-a-million genius capable of cultivating superpowers... Since we are destined to meet, why don't you become my disciple, so that we can punish evil and uphold world peace in the future~)

"What did you say?!" Ash, who had been extremely alert just moments before, was now completely dumbfounded.

This ancient Hu land wants to spend ten yuan to buy a copy of "Buddha's Palm"... Pshaw, wrong channel!

It wants me to become its apprentice?!

Worried that he might have misheard, Ash mechanically turned towards Dragonite and Tentacruel, only to see two equally bewildered faces...

Very good, then it seems I heard correctly.

(Young man, think it over again, don't rush to refuse...)

"teacher."

Just as Alakazam was about to try to persuade him again, Ash immediately bowed deeply.

Just kidding, why would you even consider something like this falling from the sky?

Even a second's hesitation would be disrespectful to this opportunity.

What's wrong with taking a Pokémon as your teacher? The other party is a powerful ancestor with millions of years of experience. It is willing to teach you carefully, so Ash should naturally show respect by performing the disciple's etiquette.

(Okay, it's best if you agree.) Alakazam gave a kind yet slightly pretentious smile. (I know you humans have a lot on your plate. Just come to me to train whenever you have time. You can also ask me for guidance if you have any questions... Of course, I can also help you solve any problems you can't handle.)

"Thank you very much, teacher." Xiao Zhi expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Alakazam got into character very quickly and started acting like a master.

However, this did make Xiaozhi feel like he had someone backing him up.

Ash has always been leveraging the League's influence to mediate issues in an official capacity.

He doesn't actually have any strong high-end forces to rely on; instead, he has to become the backing of the entire alliance.

Giant Dragonite and Tentacruel may be powerful, but they are just Ash's friends, not his fighters.

But Alakazam is different now. Since Ash has become Ash's apprentice, he can rightfully ask Alakazam to stand up for him.

(No problem, no problem~) Alakazam stroked his beard like an old man. (Now that you've become my student, I'll definitely teach you wholeheartedly... and not just you, but your magical beast, or other familiar superpowered beings and super-powered magical beasts, can also be brought here to train.)

"Yes..." Happiness came too suddenly, and Xiaozhi was still a little dazed for a moment.

Is this what it feels like to have powerful connections? Not only are you protected, but you're also favored because of others...

It's really worth it to have this master!

Of course, what Ash didn't know was that Alakazam was also basking in the glory of its shrewd decision.

Whether it's leading one sheep or herding a flock, Hu Di's teaching of any number of students only requires time and words... He might spare a little effort if he's in a good mood.

Not only does it suffer no loss, but it also gets to enjoy the performances of these juniors while they are training for free. Most importantly, it gains Xiao Zhi's respect in return. This is definitely a win-win situation!

How could a boy who has received nature's gifts, a human who possesses rainbow feathers and can keep them shining, be of poor character?

If Alakazam ever needs anything in the future, Ash will be able to handle it perfectly.

Most importantly, once Ash becomes its student, Alakazam will be the most senior creature in this sea area.

From now on, for Ash's sake, Dragonite and Tentacruel will have to give it some face.

Taking on this student was such a good deal!

Oh, there's one more thing...

(Child, can you do me a favor?) Alakazam suddenly rubbed his hands together and said to Ash, (You brought back that clock, could you find some time to throw it into the sea...?)

"So that's what you've been worried about all along?" Xiao Zhi was both amused and exasperated.

Just how powerful is that giant fat dog?

but…

"Teacher, you might be a little late in saying that..." Ash was conflicted as he sensed the sudden appearance of a waveguide not far away.

"Huh?" "Heh!"

The giant Dragonite and Tentacruel also sensed something at the same time, and another powerful aura appeared!

"Boom~"

A thunderous sound suddenly rang out, creating surging waves on the sea and giving Ash and his friends a jolt!

"Bo~ Bulibububobuli~ Bobubububu..."

(Oh no, how did it get out...uh~)

As the song continued to echo, Hudi, who was on the verge of tears, gradually lost consciousness.

Soon, the entire Dragonite Island and the surrounding waters fell into silence…

"Boli?"

Meanwhile, on Dragonite Island, the giant Jigglypuff, who was holding a Golden Bell and singing, became furious when it saw all the people and Pokémon lying around it.

It angrily twisted open the bottom of the golden bell, pulled out a paintbrush dipped in paint, and then began to splatter ink and paint!

After that, it sensed that there were a few more survivors on another island not far away.

Then, the giant Jigglypuff took a deep breath and inflated like a balloon, leaping across the sea and landing directly on the island where Ash and his friends were!

The hunt continues~

Chapter 182 Subsequent Cultivation, Attribute Development

Ash spent a week on Dragonite Island, fully enjoying the benefits of being guided by a renowned teacher.

Although the ancient Alakazam had little experience teaching apprentices, their experience and intelligence allowed them to always spot Ash's problems immediately.

Especially after observing Ash's special training in using his special moves, its advice was spot on.

(The special moves of this era are too complicated and fancy. In reality, Warcraft combat is all about attack, defense, buffs, and debuffs. Mastering these four points will make you invincible in most battles.)
