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

Bell~

Shortly after the riots on the island subsided, Ash, who was about to leave, received a call from Professor Oak's lab.

"Doctor, you're looking for me?"

"Just checking on your situation... I just heard about what happened on Shagan Island. Don't worry, Lance and the others will handle it." The professor reassured Ash over the phone first. "Professor Negi asked me to ask when you can get there... It seems your packages have already been mailed ahead of schedule."

"I did some special training for a few days, which caused a bit of a delay," Ash quickly explained. "I'll be heading to Daikan Island soon."

"That's good... By the way, about that crystal you found, I asked a lot of people and no one recognized it, including Professor Yamanashi." Professor Oak brought up Ash's previous request again, but there was still no progress.

"Professor Sakuragi thinks its mechanism is very similar to Dynamax in the Galar region, and has already asked someone to inquire about it."

"That's fine too..." Xiao Zhi nodded.

That crystal is something that can't be rushed; let the PhDs worry about it.

Since Pikachu has already mastered the Fly move, Ash no longer needs to rely on the power of that crystal.

"Also, remember to visit Little Orange Island when you continue your travels. Kona is already waiting for you there, saying she needs to talk to you."

"Okay, I understand," Xiao Zhi agreed, then hung up the phone...

"Hey, wait a minute!" came the young man's urgent voice from behind, but there was no image on the screen.

"Xiao Jian?" Xiao Zhi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you have something to say to the professor?"

"Uh... I just suddenly noticed you were talking to Professor Oak, so I came over out of curiosity," Xiaojian explained awkwardly. "Ash, are you and the professor very close?"

“We live in the same town and have always been taken care of by him.”

"Then...may I travel with you?" Xiaojian pleaded eagerly. "I really want to meet Professor Oak...please, he's always been my idol!"

“No problem, travel is more fun with more companions~” Xiao Zhi immediately agreed.

That solves the problem!

Take Tracey to Professor Oak's lab and have him become the professor's assistant, just like in the original story.

That way, Ash can happily accept it, Nanami!

...

And so, after successfully breaking through the Xiagan Gym and adding Xiaojian to the team, the group finally arrived at Daigan Island, located in the southwest corner of the archipelago.

The Ulster Lab is also located by the sea. Ash and his friends approached from the sea and happened to turn onto the beach behind the lab.

Just as they arrived, a huge current of water suddenly burst open on the once calm sea, followed by a massive Gyarados bursting out of the water and dancing in the air like a fish leaping over a dragon gate!

On top of Gyarados's head stood a stunningly beautiful mature woman with an amazing figure. Just as Gyarados was about to reach the shore, she leaped down, creating a rare and memorable childhood scene for Ash and his friends.

He casually caught the research coat thrown to him by his assistant in mid-air, draped it over his shoulders like a trench coat, and then landed smoothly and gracefully.

"Very good, you're in good shape today too~" The mature beauty gently stroked the Gyarados's head and horns. The Pokémon, which should have been ferocious, was now enjoying itself with its eyes half-closed, and even rubbed its head against her...

"This...is amazing~" Xiaoxia couldn't help but feel envious of the scene before her. Her Gyarados had never been so close to her before.

So why is this?

Xiaoxia silently lowered her head, examining the instep and toes of her shoes…

Xiao Jian, who was standing next to her, quietly pulled out his drawing board and began to sketch on the paper with shining eyes.

"Oh my... I never expected you to be like this, Jian~" Lila leaned over for a glance, her expression slightly teasing.

Xiao Jian's sketching skills are quite superb; with just a few strokes, he reveals the most prominent features of a woman... However, staring at her so intently always gives Lila the feeling of seeing Xiao Gang with his eyes opened.

Therefore, compared to Xiao Gang's overt harassment, Xiao Jian, being an artist, is obviously more subtle, observing secretly and then drawing pictures as souvenirs... In short, he's a repressed pervert.

"You draw really well! I'd like to learn from you." Xiao Zhi was quite impressed with Xiao Jian's drawing skills.

If he had possessed this skill of outlining human figures back in Saint-Anne, his subsequent works would have been filled with Little Blue...

Don't overthink it, Xiao Zhi means a notebook you carry with you.

"Hey, aren't you Ash?" Having finished taking care of the Pokémon beside her, the mature woman finally noticed Ash and his group docking not far away, and immediately came over to greet them.

"I was wondering when you would arrive. Why did you end up behind the research institute?"

"We came by sea and just happened to dock nearby," Xiao Zhi explained, politely shaking hands and greeting the other party.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Uchiki."

Chapter 266 Time Ripple Inside the GS Sphere!

After the two sides introduced themselves, Dr. Uchigi led Ash and the others back to her research institute.

"Ash, I've been waiting for you for ages! Your package arrived ahead of schedule!" The beautiful professor looked around as soon as she entered the room. "It's right here... wait, that's strange, where did I put it?"

After giving Ash an awkward smile, Professor Uchiha began searching the entire house.

"Uh, this room too..." "I don't want to comment."

Xiaoxia and Lila exchanged a glance, both noticing the disbelief in each other's eyes.

They would never have imagined that a research institute run by a female PhD with three female assistants could be in such a mess!

The room was littered with clutter, and the corners were a veritable garbage dump; there was practically no place to put your feet.

This suggests that Dr. Uchiki, who appears dignified and magnanimous in public, must be quite unconventional or even slovenly in private.

"Uh... I'll help tidy up." After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Jian decided to lend a hand.

He actually has similar attributes to Brock, being an excellent housekeeper and cook. However, he is not the type to take the initiative like Brock, so Ash is not worried about losing this new companion here.

By the way, Xiao Jian is the kind of person who can't say no. To put it bluntly, he's an honest person who gets bullied and is often asked to help others for free.

In the original work, the place that gets the most freebies from him is Cerulean Gym. The three sisters—especially the eldest sister Sakura—often make Tracey run around cleaning the gym's swimming pool.

As a result, because Xiao Jian never refused, the girl even thought he was Xiao Xia's boyfriend, which is quite ridiculous.

After searching thoroughly, Dr. Uchiki finally found a dirty package under a pile of instant noodle boxes…

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." The female PhD student smiled absentmindedly as she handed the package to Xiao Zhi.

"You're too kind." Xiao Zhi accepted the gift with a normal expression and casually placed it on a fairly tidy table.

He didn't want to open the package, much less put it in his backpack...

"Dr. Neimu, could you show us that ball?"

"Alright, come with me." Hearing Ash bring up serious matters, Professor Nino immediately became interested and led the group to the teleportation device in the laboratory.

On the tray was a special Poké Ball with gold and silver stripes, and two blurry characters could be vaguely seen on the upper part.

"It's this ball. I've never seen anything like it before. It can't be teleported, and the material and the lock on it are very special. I've tried many methods but can't open it..."

As Dr. Uchiki explained, his three assistants, in perfect unison, took out various tools such as hammers, chainsaws, and laser guns and began conducting destructive experiments.

However, after a violent dismantling, the Poké Ball remained completely undamaged.

"That's the situation. I think... only an academic authority like Dr. Oki can unlock the secret of this GS Ball," Dr. Uchiki said helplessly.

"GS ball?" Xiaoxia asked, puzzled.

"The two letters on it look a lot like G and S," Dr. Uchiki explained.

The GS Ball is a crucial item. According to Ash, its interior is a capture net woven from the feathers of Ho-Oh and Lugia, possessing the power to capture time. It was used to capture Celebi, the forest god who can travel through time.

In the game, if you give this ball to the Steel in Johto, it will react the next day. Then take it to the shrine in the Paulownia Grove, and you can meet Celebi.

However, if it's from the original anime, once you hand it over to the steel, you'll never see it again...

hum~

Just as Ash was having a sudden inspiration, the previously silent GS Ball suddenly emitted a faint light.

"Did you just see that?" Dr. Uchiki's eyes widened in surprise. "The GS Ball just glowed!"

"It seems so..."

hum!

Just as Xiaoxia was about to respond, the GS Ball's light grew even stronger, and finally it floated up into the air and drifted in front of Xiaozhi!

"Ash? Why is that?!" Professor Uchiha was completely bewildered.

She had been studying this ball for a long time without making any progress. How come it started acting strangely as soon as this boy came?

At this moment, Ash felt... no, it should be two invisible forces urging him to raise his hand and touch the ball.

"I don't know why, but I always feel like there's a trap here~" Ash twitched his lips speechlessly. To be honest, he didn't really like this kind of forced 'opportunity'.

But before he could even finish his complaint, the gold and silver wings in his backpack flew out at the same time and hovered on either side of Ash.

At that moment, Ash even felt as if he saw the phantoms of two top-tier players staring at him and forcing him to touch the GS Ball!

"So there really was a trap... Holy crap?!"

Seemingly sensing Ash's reluctance, the silver feather suddenly became extremely dim, and the rainbow feather next to it began to faintly release a wisp of black light!

You guys are really going to do this!

Ash was utterly speechless. Lugia grumbling was one thing, but Ho-Oh was actually threatening him with turning evil! Did this legendary Pokémon have no shame?!
