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

"Hmm... I do have a suggestion." Suddenly, Cynthia, who had been observing, spoke up, "Hey boy over there, you seem to be quite handsome. Your sister really wants an older sister... why don't you sacrifice yourself for her?"

"Huh... does this mean I have to wear women's clothes?" Ash was completely bewildered.

"Is this okay...? Okay, I'll try it for Mary!"

As it turned out, Ah Yi actually believed it!

Xiao Zhi is now certain that neither of these siblings has a normal thought process!

A unreasonable younger sister who insists on having an older sister, paired with an overly doting older brother who even goes so far as to get married on the spot and dress as a woman...

This combination is truly something to keep one's distance from.

Of course, what alarmed Ash the most was that Cynthia was no pushover either!

She had been silently observing since she arrived on the island, but who would have thought she would unleash such a powerful move just before leaving!

Ah Yi has lost nine games in a row and is completely devastated. Faced with his tantrum-throwing sister, he is desperate and will listen to whatever others say.

Moreover, the one who made the suggestion was Cynthia, who hadn't participated in the challenge and had no grudge against him. Her caring older sister demeanor was sure to catch Yi off guard!

That's terrifying...

What kind of cabbage is this? Its heart is probably black too!

Despite their inner grumbling, Ash and his friends could still appreciate the women's clothing, so they stayed on Yuzu Island a little longer.

Soon, the female version of A-Yi made her dazzling debut.

He came to the crowd shyly, wearing a dress and a wig.

“This is…” Mary was stunned.

"It won't work..." A look of obvious panic crossed A-Yi's face; he truly had run out of ideas...

"This is so wonderful! Mary has a big sister now!!" the little girl cheered, throwing herself into A-Yi's arms and rubbing against his bare chest.

"Then... let's use this method from now on~" At this moment, A-Yi's face even showed a hint of maternal glow...

"Oh dear, I was just saying it offhand, and he actually put it on... but it seems to fit him quite well~" Cynthia covered her mouth and chuckled.

Ash's lips twitched slightly...

Well, you've really cleaned yourself up quite a bit!

"Just as I thought." Xiaoxia looked quite certain.

She actually realized during the battle that A-Yi didn't really like her; he was just doing it to satisfy his sister's demands.

But Xiaoxia was still happy to have had this experience; at least she knew who liked her…

"I really want to leave the group now..." If we're talking about who A-Yi's crossdressing hurt the most, it's probably only Lila.

She compared the two outfits briefly and realized that she didn't seem to be able to pull off the other person's clothes.

Isn't there any way to make myself more like a girl?!

Meanwhile, the harmless Xiao Jian was sketching and doodling in his notebook, occasionally stealing glances at A Yi...

In short, the matter on Yuzu Island finally came to an end, and after the group set off again, they soon returned to Pinggan Island.

Officer Jenny on the island had already learned that Nidorino was safe and sound, and happily welcomed Ash and the others to the island. She also brought Nidorino's entire clan with her.

"Alright, I've accomplished my mission." As they parted, Ash smiled and patted Nidorino's head. "I had a great time with you these past few days. From now on..."

"Nido...Nido!!" Before he could finish speaking, Nidorino bit his trouser leg and dragged him in front of his parents.

It kept explaining something to Nidoking and Nidoqueen, occasionally turning around to point at Ash, and even showing off a newly learned Ice Beam!

The couple, who were the leaders of the tribe, nodded in agreement after considering their words and looking at each other.

They all looked at Ash at the same time, their expressions showing reluctance, but also a clear intention to entrust him with their care.

The Nidorinos made their choice; as parents, they decided to support their children!

"Thank you for your trust, I will take good care of it." Ash solemnly promised, then looked at the little guy with a joyful face, "But... Nidorino, do you understand your mission?"

"Nido?" The little guy didn't quite understand what Ash meant.

"I can capture you and train you to be stronger, but you still belong here!" Ash said earnestly. "After this experience, you should understand that your kind, including the Pokémon on this island, has always been coveted by bad people. Officer Jenny alone is bound to be powerless. Since you are part of the island, you must also take responsibility!"

"From now on, I will periodically transport you back to the island. You will then teach what I have taught you to the other Pokémon so that everyone can become stronger and work together with Officer Jenny to protect the safety of this place!"

“Nido!” Nidorino immediately responded enthusiastically.

"It's settled then, nice to meet you~" Ash opened his palm and handed a Poké Ball to Nidorino.

He had always liked this little guy, and it would be wonderful to have him as a companion.

The little guy brought its nose close to the switch on the Poké Ball and chose to be caught by Ash!

No one objected; everyone took it for granted, including Officer Jenny on the island.

Ash also serves as an investigator, and under very special circumstances, he can capture Pokémon within the protected area.

"Officer Jenny, please contact the League headquarters later and apply for a Poké Ball Teleporter. Just say that I approved it," Ash instructed Officer Jenny. "That way, Butterfree and Nidorino can be teleported back frequently."

“No problem!” Officer Jenny immediately agreed happily.

Nidorino, which Ash already had in his possession, happily played with Lapras and Bagon after being released.

From today onwards, we're officially partners... although they already were long ago~

However, while they were playing and frolicking, the little dragon seemed to be deep in thought.

Nidorino, who had a similar experience, ultimately chose to leave its parents and pack to be with Ash…

What about yourself?

After finding his parents, is he really going to leave with his pack and never see Ash again?

He introduced him to new friends, took meticulous care of him, and taught him to become stronger... but then, they had to separate?

This question lingered in Xiao Chenglong's mind until the group set off from Pinggan Island...

Ash, on the other hand, has already confirmed his next target: he will go to Daipo Island, the very center of the Orange Islands, to investigate!

That place must be connected to the prophetic visions he had seen before!

Chapter 285 Dapeng Island, the Cultivation of Waveguide

"As expected of an island known for its size, the Pokémon on this island are all incredibly large!"

Surrounded by dense forest, Xiao Jian, who was performing his duties as a travel observer, would occasionally exclaim in amazement.

Ash and his friends quickly landed on Daipo Island, located in the central area of ​​Orange Island. Upon arriving, they noticed that the Pokémon on the island were generally larger than their counterparts, with some even reaching more than three times their normal size!

Such a huge difference in size was something Xiao Jian had only ever seen with Ash's Steelix before, but they were everywhere on this island.

He had just seen a huge Pidgeot fly overhead, and the shadow it cast on the ground looked like a small airplane.

"This is probably because the island has abundant food, and the Pokémon here don't have any natural predators," Cynthia said after thinking for a moment. "You've noticed, haven't you? The Pokémon on this island are very xenophobic. If Ash and Lyra hadn't been communicating with them, they probably would have attacked us already!"

"Phew... everything's fine now." Just then, Ash and Lyra returned hand in hand. "We've already talked to the Pokémon here. We can stay here for a while, as long as we don't bother them, we can move around freely."

"Xiao Zhi, are you planning to stay here for a while?" Xiao Xia immediately understood what he meant.

"That's right, I'm going to do specialized training in Aura Power here, the time is yet to be determined."

Upon arriving at Oboro Island, Ash quickly noticed something unusual about the place.

Hirona is right, the island does have abundant food, but looking beyond the surface, the real reason is that Daipong Island has abundant natural energy!

In this day and age, natural energy is an absolute rarity, and there are very few places where it can accumulate in large quantities.

Places like Dragonite Island or Mysterious Garden are just slightly more intense than other places.

So far, the only area Ash has ever encountered that is truly abundant in natural energy is the cave where Crystal Onix is ​​located... and most of that energy is sealed in the crystals at the bottom of the lake, with only that special crystal able to absorb it.

The concentration of natural energy here on Daipon Island is definitely not low, and even the bent spoon that Venusaur carries with it has been affected!

So much so that it didn't even wait for Xiao Zhi to make any arrangements; it simply found a lush nursery, lazily took root, and started basking in the sun.

Seeing that his companions had already started to act, Ash didn't hesitate and sent out all his handheld weapons.

The original twelve companions of Kanto have now mostly reached the stage of developing their attributes. In this environment full of natural energy, their training will be twice as effective.

Meanwhile, the three children in the team, Baby Dragon, Little Riding Dragon, and Nidorino, can finally settle down and systematically train for a period of time.

I believe that by the time Ash leaves the island, they will have completed the initial setup and tactics. All that will remain is to continuously increase their strength and strive for evolution!

As for Ash himself, he found a secluded place and, with his two Lucarios, officially began his training as an Aura Master.

"Waveguide is the spirit of every living being, the life energy inherent in all things in the world—this is something you all already know. Next, I will teach you how to accumulate, refine, and efficiently use this power!"

Amidst the green hills and clear waters, Xiao Zhi began his first lesson.

However, although he is only a half-baked Aura user, Ash's teaching level is in no way inferior to those of the veteran users... and may even be better.

The second-best anime series has an advantage in this regard; all those hunky anime I've watched can still be used as a reference.

For example, after studying Ya Xuan's notes, Xiao Zhi discovered that the so-called Aura Power is actually the Ki from Dragon Ball.

The energy hidden within all things can be controlled and used through cultivation, and can even help the body break through its limits... This concept is exactly the same as that of waveguides.

The real wave missile is actually the spirit bomb.
