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

While pondering these trivial matters, Xiaozhi casually dialed Cai Dou's number.

Hello, this is...

"Who are you? Isn't this Cai Dou's phone?!" Upon hearing the unfamiliar middle-aged man's voice on the other end of the phone, Xiao Zhi suddenly jolted awake.

He checked carefully and found that he had not dialed the wrong number, so someone had taken Cai Dou's phone!

"Um... I'm the driver of Flying Taxi. The person you're looking for is my previous passenger. She left her phone in the car," the middle-aged man across the street explained patiently.

"Is that so..." Ash was taken aback.

We agreed to meet in the open field, but the other party suddenly went missing. Is this acceptable?

However, according to the driver, he was about to go back to return the phone to Cai Dou, and Xiao Zhi thus learned where Cai Dou got off the bus.

So he immediately made an appointment with the driver and went there to meet him.

"No problem, no problem," the driver readily agreed over the phone. "You must be the karate and Taika trainer, right? See you then."

Du~du~

“I have a name…” Xiao Zhi was speechless as he listened to the disconnected tone on the other end of the phone.

It looks like he'll have to find a chance to fight Cai Dou, otherwise this girl won't even remember his name.

"Corviknight, come out!" After putting away his phone, Ash summoned his newly caught Corviknight and leaped onto its back.

"Destination: Desert area, fly!" "Screech!"

After a joyful cry, Corviknight flapped its wings and soared into the sky, carrying Ash through the Galar sky.

As a Flying-type master, soaring through the skies with his friends is naturally one of Ash's favorite activities.

Corviknight truly lives up to its reputation as the ruler of the skies in the Galar region. The size of a typical Corviknight is comparable to that of a Dragonite, and the one Ash caught is even more comparable to Charizard. It spreads its giant wings and glides at high speed through the air, its stability so great that Ash can't feel any tremors!

boom!

The surrounding air currents began to change abruptly. The weather in the open fields is the most unpredictable. Just a moment ago, the sky was clear and blue, but in the blink of an eye, a huge storm appeared in front of us.

"Well done! Corviknight, let me see what you've got. Brave Bird, charge in!"

The terrifying tornado did not deter Ash; instead, it piqued his interest. Corviknight, unfazed, folded its wings and charged forward like a shuttle, disappearing into the storm in an instant!

In an instant, the surrounding turbulent currents and sand seemed to erupt in anger, sweeping over the Steel Raven.

"Use Bulk Up!" However, under Ash's instruction, Corviknight quickly increased its strength to withstand the sandstorm and became stable again.

"Next, use the steel wings!" "Screech!"

The Steel Raven, which had burrowed into the bottom of the storm, soared into the sky with astonishing force, its broad wings seemingly transforming into blades, easily tearing the tornado in two!

"Great!" Ash patted Corviknight's neck with satisfaction.

This flight experience was absolutely amazing!

"Do...Do..." Just as Ash and Corviknight were enjoying the sky together, he heard a faint cry for help amidst the scattered sandstorm.

"There it is! Corviknight, get over there right now!" Following the sound, Ash quickly spotted a small beast caught in a whirlwind, struggling desperately in the swirling sandstorm.

Doromecia...a pseudo-god larva from the Galar region!

"Screech!" Corviknight flapped its wings sharply, taking off with the wind, and streaked past like a black comet. At the same time, Ash hugged Draco Messiah tightly.

"Doo..." The little guy kept its eyes tightly closed until a while later, when it realized that the sandstorm around it had disappeared.

But when it opened its eyes and saw an unfamiliar face, it couldn't help but freeze...

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to save you." Ash patted the little dragon's head and channeled a wisp of Viridian Power into it, quickly calming the helpless little guy down.

"How did you end up here? Aren't you with your family?" Ash asked, holding Draco Messia.

There are indeed pseudo-legendary creatures inhabiting the Wilderness, but not in this vicinity, and this little dragon is only the size of Ash's palm, clearly a child that has just hatched from its egg.

Similar to Kangaskhan, the pseudo-legendary Dragapults in the Dragapult lineage require a considerable amount of time to grow from juveniles, and the young ones cannot grow up without their parents' company.

"Dog..." the little guy explained, his eyes welling up with tears again.

It originally lived with its mother, but suddenly encountered a sandstorm and was swept away.

"Is your mother Dorungi?"

"Doo..." The little guy nodded sadly.

Ash immediately understood that a fully evolved Dragapult would not be afraid of this sandstorm.

Looks like she's a new mom who hasn't been around for very long; she must be really anxious right now...

"Caw!" Just as Ash was making his plans, a crow suddenly cried out from afar. The driver of the flying taxi had arrived.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi could only go and take care of his own business first.

"Little one, come with me for now, and I'll take you to find your mother later."

He temporarily placed Dorromesia on his head, gently covering it with his hat, and then commanded Corviknight to go forward.

Chapter 380 Colorful Bean... Is this an M&M's?!

Flying taxis are a unique mode of transportation in the Galar region. They are essentially Corviknights that hold a cabin and carry passengers in the air.

The driver in charge of piloting Corviknight was a middle-aged man dressed as a pilot. He couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he saw Ash also riding Corviknight.

"Hey buddy, so you're a Corviknight trainer too. I was just wondering how most people could get here... But your Corviknight is pretty big."

"You flatter me," Xiao Zhi said with a smile. "Is Cai Dou's phone with you?"

"Yes, I was just wondering where to find her," the driver said helplessly. "I have other work to do later, so I don't have much time."

"Why don't you just give me your phone? I happen to have arranged to meet her nearby," Xiao Zhi suggested. "Don't worry, I'm Xiao Zhi from Kanto, I'm not a suspicious person."

"That's a good idea." After thinking for a moment, the driver agreed to Xiaozhi's suggestion.

Before leaving, he reminded Xiaozhi, "After you find her, leave with her. This area is not a fun place. The weather can change in an instant. There was a downpour last night. Why suffer here?"

"I understand," Xiao Zhi replied casually.

After the driver left, Ash put away Bea's phone and activated his own Aura.

Ash had looked at the Wild Area map beforehand and had a general idea of ​​the surrounding environment.

Cai Dou is here to cultivate, so she will definitely need to find a sheltered place with a water source. Considering the possibility of rain, there might also be a cave or similar place nearby.

With these factors in mind, Ash quickly chose a search direction, letting Corviknight carry him at low altitude while sensing Bea's Aura.

Soon, Ash confirmed his destination.

It was a valley surrounded by towering rock walls, accessible only by a narrow path. In contrast to the sandstorms outside, it was a lush green oasis, like a desert oasis.

On one side of the mountain wall, a waterfall roars down, creating a clear pool of water below.

Cai Dou certainly knows how to pick a place; compared to the outside world, calling this place a paradise on earth wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"It's there..." Ash sensed it briefly and quickly focused his attention on a pile of rubble at the foot of the mountain.

There should be a cave hidden behind that, but it was probably blocked by a landslide during yesterday's heavy rain.

Rainbow Bean and her superhuman strength are currently trapped inside the cave.

"Open!" Ash used his psychic powers, and the pile of rubble in front of him was instantly lifted up by an invisible force, easily clearing a passage for entry.

He stepped into the still somewhat slippery cave and made his way to the deepest part of the cave.

"Strength!" On the open ground at the bottom of the cave, the monster Strength, which was responsible for guarding the cave, suddenly became alert, and its companions, Macho Might and Bracers, also tensed their muscles.

When they saw that the person who came was Xiaozhi, they relaxed their guard and their faces showed a pleading expression.

Rainbow Beans were right behind them. The girl was lying on her back on the ground, covering her face with her hands, breathing heavily.

Her chest rose and fell with each breath, and in the sound of her exhalation, Xiao Zhi could clearly hear her resentment and self-blame…

"Hmm...it's you." Aya woke up with a start when she realized someone was beside her, and struggled to sit up.

"How did you end up here?" Despite her exhaustion and aches, Cai Dou asked with a serious expression.

"I came to bring you your phone and called you, but the driver answered instead." Xiao Zhi laughed as he handed the phone to Cai Dou. "And you, are you here to enjoy the scenery...?"

“The scenery… what is this?” Bea was about to retort when she realized that Ash wasn’t looking at her, but was standing still gazing up at the scenery.

She curiously followed Xiaozhi's gaze and was immediately captivated.

The bottom of the cave wasn't dark at all. All around, including above, were countless points of light, which were all kinds of crystals and gemstones, shining like stars in the sky.

"It's beautiful here, isn't it?" Ash chuckled and asked in return. "I don't know what you've been through, but if you had noticed these things earlier, perhaps you wouldn't have been in such a hurry to leave."

"Maybe..." Cai Dou nodded silently.

Looking back on what had happened recently, she felt like she was a complete mess.

After suffering a crushing defeat to Dante in the Champions Cup, she originally wanted to come to the Wilderness to train properly, but the more she trained, the more she felt that she was not strong enough.

So she became impatient and recklessly practiced against the superhuman strength, which led to an accident during practice and she injured her arm.

Later, while trying to find shelter from the rain, they got stuck in a cave. In their haste to find a way out, they tripped and fell, losing not only their phone but also their flashlight.

I really am...

"Miss Bea, are you free to move around now?" Just as Bea was about to start feeling sorry for herself, Ash asked softly.
