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

"Pikachu, surf!!"

After quickly rushing to the top of the tower, Ash signaled Pikachu to immediately spread the water, which quickly extinguished the persistent flames.

"You are..." The red-haired boy, who had narrowly escaped death, was taken aback.

Xiao Zhi was equally stunned; he was thinking the same thing as the other person...

Why is he here?!

"Let's get out of here first. Help Master Guang Sheng up!" Although the fire was out, the top of the tower was still filled with choking smoke, making it no place to stay for long.

So Ash skipped the self-introduction, used his psychic powers to envelop the red-haired boy and the seriously injured monk, and instantly teleported to the foot of the tower!

At the same time, seeing the blue crocodile next to the other party, Ash confirmed his previous guess.

Just like in the game's storyline... this guy is Giovanni's son, Gin!

Chapter 339 The Gift of the Heart-Piercing Pillar, the Seed of Miracles

When Ash and his group arrived at the foot of the tower, the fire outside Bellsprout Tower had been completely extinguished, leaving only some lingering smoke.

However, Alakazam continued to use his mental interference to support the tower, not daring to relax his psychic powers.

It is said that a fire broke the central pillar, and the tower was effectively destroyed...

"Master Guang Sheng, are you alright?" Ash carefully examined the monk's injuries, then channeled a wisp of his psychic power into him, stimulating him to slowly regain consciousness.

"You are... um, so it's Mr. Ash. We really owe you a lot for your help this time." Elder Guang Sheng was helped to his feet, trembling, and bowed to Ash with difficulty to express his gratitude.

"It was nothing more than a small favor... It's just a pity that the arsonist escaped."

The two Auras that suddenly disappeared must be the ones who hypnotized the monks and set fire to the tower. I don't know if it was just a coincidence or if they had keen senses. It's a pity that Ash couldn't catch them in the act.

Based on the feedback from the waveguide, they should be a human and a Pokémon pair. Let's see if we'll encounter them again in the future...

“Whoosh…” At this moment, the red-haired boy’s chest suddenly throbbed, and a dusty, trumpet-shaped bud emerged from his clothes.

The little guy rubbed against his trouser leg before limping back to Guang Sheng's side.

"A trumpet bud?" The elderly monk was immediately overjoyed. "Thank goodness, you're safe and sound! Uh...did you save it?"

Guang Sheng looked at the red-haired boy gratefully, and his trumpet bud squinted his eyes, nodding repeatedly in thanks.

"I'm very sorry... I take back my previous assessment. You are a kind-hearted trainer." The old monk apologized to the boy with a look of shame.

"Hmph." The red-haired boy merely gave a cold snort and did not intend to pay any attention.

His attention was completely focused on Ash, and he never expected to run into him here!

Was it an unexpected encounter, or a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road...?

The guy in front of me is the rising star that the Kanto Alliance has been praising to the skies. He even defeated...that person before.

The red-haired boy had always been very interested in Ash, but he didn't want to interact with him at all.

But this time, the other party had inexplicably saved the old monk, and it seemed inappropriate to leave without expressing any gratitude...

So conflicted~

The red-haired boy is in a bit of a dilemma, but thankfully, Ash isn't paying attention to him for the time being.

"The Tower of Trumpet Sprouts, why did this happen... Is this ancient temple really going to be destroyed?" Upon learning that the Heart-Connecting Pillar had been burned, Elder Guang Sheng couldn't help but burst into tears.

He has been practicing here since he was young. Bellsprout Tower is not only his and his monks' residence, but also provides shelter for Bellsprout and other wild Pokémon. It is a blessed place where humans and Pokémon live in harmony.

But a sudden fire shattered the harmony here…

"This tower..." Ash was completely focused on sensing the tower. He hadn't paid much attention to it before because he was busy rescuing people, but now it seemed that this tower was indeed extraordinary.

That core is urgently calling for help from itself!

"Master Light Saint, legend has it that the Pivot of Bellsprout Tower was made from a 30-meter-tall bellsprout, is that true?" Ash suddenly asked curiously.

"There is indeed such a rumor." The old monk, barely managing to calm himself, explained to Ash, "It is said that it was a kind-hearted Bellsprout. On its deathbed, it asked the best craftsman of the time to carve this hollow pillar from its body, and on this basis, Bellsprout Tower was built to protect the humans and Pokémon living nearby... This is an ancient legend, and its veracity cannot be verified..."

"This legend is true!" Ash said earnestly. "The spirit of Trumpet Sprout is enshrined on that central pillar!"

"Really?!" Guang Sheng stood there stunned in disbelief.

Ash had already summoned Venusaur and they both underwent Mega Evolution!

(That's?!) Upon witnessing such power, the red-haired boy couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.

"Venusaur, you heard its wish too... Try your best to bring it back to life!!" Ash placed his hand on Venusaur's body and poured the power of Viridian into it without reservation!

"Bana!!" With a determined roar, Mega Venusaur activated Grass Vow with all its might. Endless vines quickly surged into the tower, climbing up the base of the Pivot Pillar until they completely enveloped the entire pillar!

It did hear it; the tube... no, it was the trumpet bud that was asking them for help!

I don't want it to collapse like this. I want to hold on for a little longer and hope to continue to protect the Pokémon and humans here and become a bridge for everyone to live in harmony!

"Look!" "Those Bellsprouts, go help Venusaur!"

Amidst Xiaoxia and Lila's screams, everyone was astonished to see that all the Bellsprouts and the Pokémon living here had gathered behind Venusaur!

The Pokémon cheered for Venusaur, while Bellsprouts shook their bodies and sprayed out seeds, which turned into fresh energy and flowed into Venusaur's body, wanting to help it heal the broken Heart Column!

hum!

A burst of new green suddenly appeared, and through the tower that had been destroyed by fire, everyone discovered that the smoke-stained central pillar was now completely renewed!

The area that was originally burned off by the flames is now covered with a dense network of tough vines!

The core pillar has been revived, and it's even stronger than before!

"Is...is this real?" Guang Sheng stared in astonishment, as if he could not accept the miracle of this withered tree coming back to life.

"Next, you just need to find someone to rebuild the tower," Ash said with a smile. "The Bellsprout Tower will stand tall again and continue to protect everyone living here."

"Mr. Xiaozhi, I really don't know how to thank you for your help." The old monk bowed deeply to Xiaozhi in gratitude.

"You should thank Bellsprout; it's always been protecting this place." Ash quickly helped the other person up.

Just then, a ball of light suddenly flew out from the vines of the Heart Pillar and landed directly in front of Ash.

It was a seed with a strong natural aura and a golden color throughout.

Ash recognized it as a Miracle Seed, a type-enhancing item similar to Gengar's Curse Symbol, and also a very high-quality version, with an enhancement effect far exceeding 20%!

"Thank you." Ash nodded slightly to Bellsprout Tower, knowing it was a gift from Pillar of Heart.

However, although it was a reward earned through working together with Venusaur, Venusaur is not suitable for use.

It had the same idea; it wanted to continue exploring the power of super evolution, so it would leave this seed to its other companions.

"Then I'll leave it to you. This way, you'll become a bit stronger." Ash summoned Chikorita and put Miracle Seed on it.

"Chikoroo~" Sensing the boost in her power, Chikoroo immediately beamed and jumped into Ash's arms, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

With everything settled, and since Bellsprout Tower was almost completely in ruins, Ash and his friends naturally had no chance to visit it.

The red-haired boy finally realized his mistake... If it's not right, it's not right. He'd better slip away quietly.

But he had just taken a step when Ash called out to him from behind: "Hey you with the fierce look in your eyes, it seems you're not heading in the direction of the Pokémon Center."

"Where I go... is none of your business, right?" The red-haired boy stiffened and asked coldly.

"But the blue crocodile was also injured, so Miss Joey should have it checked out properly."

"This is my own business, it's none of your concern!" The red-haired boy immediately put the blue tortoise into its Poké Ball, but Ash had already flashed in front of him to block it!

“Let me put it bluntly then.” Ash casually flicked out his identification. “I am a senior investigator from the Kanto League, Ash. I suspect you are involved in a Pokémon theft case. Please come with me.”

"You...you're talking nonsense!" The red-haired boy's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that... I've been exposed so quickly?

But that's impossible! For the past two months, I've been hiding and avoiding people, I haven't even been to the Pokémon Center, and I haven't said a word to anyone. How could I suddenly be implicated?!

"Please tell me your name and cooperate with my investigation," Xiao Zhi warned calmly. "Or... you can choose to resist and confirm your suspect status on the spot."

"My name is Xiao Yin..."

Seeing a group of Pokémon eyeing Ash's attention, the red-haired boy had no choice but to confess.

Chapter 340 Young Master Yin is a Socially Anxious Person~

At the Pokémon Center in Violet City, Silver watched as Lyra handed the Blue Feraligatr's Poké Ball to Nurse Joy. Silver's expression was initially surprised, but then he unconsciously showed a relieved look.

Ash saw all of this.

Based on what he had seen and heard inside the tower, he formed a preliminary impression of the young man in front of him.

I'd say I don't dislike it.

"Stop looking." Xiao Zhi tapped the table twice, adopting a serious interrogation posture. "Name."

"Didn't I just say..."

"Name?"

"Little Silver..." the boy replied reluctantly.

"age."
