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

When she turned to Ash, she could no longer contain her excitement.

"Ash... thank you, thank you so much!!"

With a sob in her voice, the girl threw herself into Ash's arms, burying her head in his shoulder and sobbing softly.

"Alright, everyone's happy now, right?" Ash hesitated for a moment, then gently patted Korrina on the back.

Seeing this, Serena frowned slightly, but said nothing.

She could understand Korne's feelings at that moment, because it was exactly the same as her own back then.

Korne's situation is actually very similar to hers; both of them are being forced by their elders to do things they are not good at or do not want to do.

But thankfully, there was Xiaozhi who helped them get the opportunity to make their own choices!

“Maybe I was really wrong…” Seeing this scene, Cocoble couldn’t help but sigh. “Ash, I also want to thank you for being willing to help Korrina like this.”

“She’s my friend, and I’ve taken so many Mega Stones from you, so I should give back something,” Ash said with a smile. “Of course, if you really feel bad about it, please give Serena a legacy; she also needs to master the power of Mega Evolution.”

Ash knew that Serena had also gained a lot from this trip.

After he left, Serena first used her homemade poppies to get closer to Maw of Babe, successfully winning him over.

Afterwards, they searched together and found the Mega Stone that Mawile could use.

Including the one from before, Serena now has two Mega Stones.

“No problem. The power of Mega Evolution is meant to be passed on to you promising trainers with bright hearts.” Cocoble readily agreed. “I’ll give her the Mega Glove when we get back.”

"Thank you!" Serena immediately expressed her gratitude.

If I also possessed the power of super evolution, I would be even stronger.

If I could go from being protected by Ash to giving Ash a tiny bit of help, that would be wonderful...

"That solves everything." Ash said happily upon hearing this. "My companions seem to have returned with a full load as well."

A powerful aura continued to gather, and along with Xiaozhi's words, several figures appeared one after another around the group!

The companions who had scattered to search for Mega Stones have all returned, each holding an unpolished Origin Stone in their hands.

Even Gyarados, which was in the sea, was brought to the island by Alakazam using its psychic powers. It also had a Mega Stone in its mouth, like a shining Dragon Ball.

"Let's give it a try then." Seeing that his friends were all eager to try, Ash simply showed them the Key Stone.

“This…” Cocoble wanted to stop it, but quickly gave up.

Normally, a trainer can only support one Mega Evolution at a time, but Ash is clearly not an ordinary person...

It might not even be human~

"Everyone, unleash your newfound power... Mega Evolution!!"

"Roar!!" *N

The Pokémon present roared simultaneously, and their dazzling light illuminated the entire Super Island!

All eight Pokémon truly underwent Mega Evolution simultaneously!

A super fire-breathing dragon Y with a sleek, sharp body and an astonishing amount of heat emanating from its entire body;

Super Lucario, with its body surging with waveguide energy and an extremely wild design;

A super giant snake, its body having grown even larger and covered in diamond fragments;

A super armored creature with wings sprouting from its back and a terrifyingly enhanced attack capability;

A bizarrely creeping, super Gengar with half its body connected to another dimension;

A giant Gyarados that wreaks havoc and is as fierce as a dragon;

Super Heracross, whose body is covered with powerful muscles and is known as having the strongest non-legendary normal attack.

And Super Blaziken, with flame ribbons wrapped around its wrists and increasingly powerful kicks!

"Absolutely amazing..." Cocoble was simply unable to describe his feelings in words.

Ash was able to support eight Mega Evolutions simultaneously; his mental fortitude was simply unimaginably strong!

With this skill alone, he might be considered invincible...

bell!

However, just as everyone was enjoying Ash's Mega Evolution, his phone suddenly started ringing incessantly.

"Little brat... can you come to Hoenn now? We're in trouble!"

The call was from the real protagonist, and Kojiro on the other side of the screen was so anxious he was practically screaming.

"Arbok and Weezing, they've all been stolen!!"

Chapter 653 If you're a man, you should last an hour.

Ash was really startled by the phone call from the main character; he thought they had been defeated by Team Magma or Team Aqua.

After listening to Kojiro's detailed explanation, Ash realized that they had simply encountered poachers...

"What's wrong with you guys? You managed to take down just one poacher?" Ash asked, somewhat disgruntled. "I haven't shortchanged you on any funding lately. Meowth could have just gotten a robot and taken him out, wouldn't that have been easy?"

"The problem is that we don't have enough time..." Kojiro said on the phone, on the verge of tears. "We went on a mission not long ago and haven't even made any new equipment yet... Besides, that poacher is not only strong, but he also has a gun. He even injured Officer Jenny in the area."

"So arrogant?" Xiao Zhi couldn't help but frown.

If the other side has firearms, the situation is different.

There are very few rangers in the Hoenn region, and the police there don't carry guns. If someone with a P90 were to get the first move and start shooting, the local police would be really helpless against him for a while.

"Alright, I'll be there now. You guys wait for me for an hour." After a moment's thought, Ash decided to go to Hoenn himself.

The true protagonists are now his subordinates. They've been bullied, and Ash has to stand up for them!

"One...one hour?" Kojiro seemed surprised.

"What... you guys can't even last an hour?" Ash frowned unhappily. "You, Jessie, and Meowth together are worth three and a half men, so be more manly!"

Ash says this calculation makes perfect sense; James can do half a unit, Meowth can do one, and Jessie can do two.

"It's not that I can't hold on... it's just, are you sure you can get here from Carlos?" Kojiro asked uncertainly.

Given the distance between the two regions, it would take more than ten hours to fly there. Can Xiaozhi really get there in an hour?

"Just be careful and try to stay close to that guy. I'll definitely be there within an hour!" Xiao Zhi said before hanging up the phone.

"Ash, is it a big problem?" Serena asked worriedly.

"It's not too much trouble, but I need to make a last-minute trip to Hoenn... Do you want to come along?" Ash asked in return.

"Okay." Serena definitely wouldn't be separated from Ash.

"I'll stay put for now. Lucario needs to rest, and we can't help in our current state." Korrina thought for a moment and decided to stay in Sala City and wait for Ash and the others to return.

"Then let's set off, and we'll contact you again later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ash and Serena disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already in a special dark space.

“Where am I…” Serena looked around nervously. It was a special space that seemed to have no gravity, and her body was floating in the space.

It was pitch black all around, with only occasional flashes of light visible.

"This is an alternate dimension, like a crevice in the real world," Ash explained. "We entered using the power of Porygon-Z."

"When did Porygon-Z appear?" Serena only then noticed that Ash had a special Pokémon with him.

It looks like a strange duck, with its head and body separated, and its eyes constantly flashing a psychedelic light.

"It's kind of my Pokémon, but I rarely show myself in public," Ash casually explained, while summoning his Rex. "Let's go, we'll ride Dragonite to Hoenn. There's almost no resistance in that dimension, so Dragonite can accelerate without any limit."

"Woo!"

Once Serena was settled, Dragonite let out a long roar and sped away through the fantastical space!

It instantly increased to a top speed of Mach 2.5, and continued to increase thereafter, speeding away at full speed with true divine speed!

...

At the same time, at a medical station in a forest area of ​​Hoenn, Kojiro, who had just finished a phone call, was stopped by a girl.

"Um... excuse me, can the person you contacted really handle that poacher?" the girl asked with a worried expression.

Not only Arbok and Weezing, but all of her Pokémon were also kidnapped by poachers.

That was her starter Pokémon, which she had just received not long ago. She hadn't even had a chance to enjoy it before someone stole it...

"Don't worry, he'll definitely be able to handle it," Kojiro reassured her, but the girl was clearly still very worried.

"We don't have time to waste with you. That brat is famous all over Sekiro. Only a newbie like you wouldn't know him." Musashi curled her lip impatiently. "Kojiro, Meowth, let's hurry up. We have to catch up with that guy!"

Ignoring the girl's worried face, the main character left the medical station directly.

“Ganto…Miss Officer Jenny, do you know who they’re talking about?” The girl who had been left behind could only ask the injured policewoman beside her.

“It must be Investigator Ash, he’s a very important person.” Officer Jenny said with some respect, but then hesitated. “But I heard he’s in Carlos, he can’t possibly get here in an hour… I’ve called for backup, but it will take some time for them to arrive.”

"I see..." Unable to hear a reassuring answer, the girl gritted her teeth, finally steeled herself, and secretly ran away alone.
