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

Frog has received a deluxe ball, which confirms its status as the sixth main player.

The other companions had no objections, after all, his talent was undeniable. He possessed the ability to transform through bondage and resonated with Ash's Sea King power, which was truly unique.

In addition, Ash replaced all the Pokémon he caught before going from Orange Isle to Hoenn with Great Balls, as a way of acknowledging their strength.

Among them, Snorlax even received the same treatment as the Kanto Seven, being replaced with an Ultra Ball.

That's right, as an unfathomable academic genius, its strength is already approaching this level!

Another notable exception is Latias and Chikorita, who switched to Sweetball.

Ash volunteered to replace Latias, but as for Consort Ye… she was purely jealous and forced Ash to replace her.

Of course, Ash agreed to such an adorable request without hesitation.

After leaving the Poké Ball factory, the group headed north, traversing the vast desert.

Although the destination is Desert City, Ash first needs to find the key item in the desert before he can start his vacation.

(Are you sure this is the way?) Along the way, Ash kept confirming the location with the Pokémon in charge.

(Don't worry, the source of life is the fundamental power of this world, and I won't have any misperceptions.)

(The origin...) Ash couldn't help but fall into thought.

I remember when he obtained the rock slab, he also asked the managing elf about the source of life.

The management elf said that the stone tablet was not a fragment of creation, but a fragment that flew out when the creator god shattered the body of a certain being.

The source of life, on the other hand, is the origin of all attributes and is superior to the stone slab in terms of power.

If we follow its logic, wasn't the source of life created by the Creator God?

(You've had your doubts for a long time, haven't you...? Indeed, the source of life is not a creation of the Creator God, but rather the power that first arose in the world.) The Pokémon Master confirmed Ash's doubts. (The Creator God absorbed all the sources of life, and while transcending everything, he also became connected to the world, becoming a part of it.)

(This is why the Source of Life was lost when the Creator God suffered a severe injury, and it could even be used to enhance the power of other Pokémon.)

Ash gained more information from the management Pokémon.

Alpacas created the planet and the world, but initially, they had no connection with the world.

For some reason, the alpaca fought a battle with a creature that was born at the beginning of creation. The creature's shattered body turned into stone tablets with eighteen attributes, and the alpaca absorbed the essence of each attribute.

This action has brought it into close contact with the world... its willingness to brave meteorites and its desire to make the world more perfect may both stem from this reason.

As for the Source of Life itself, it can indeed be used by other humans and even Pokémon.

Ash remembers that during their journey, the remnants of Team Galactic found the source of fire-type life, and they even tried to use it to amplify Heatran's power in order to open a passage to the space where Sun is located.

"This should be it." After traveling through the desert for a while, Ash stopped at the foot of a strangely shaped rocky mountain.

"It's so deep here..." "I wonder how long it will take to get to the surface."

Once inside, Serena and Nanami discovered that it was actually a deep underground cave.

The pitch-black passage led downwards without a glimmer of light. The three of them descended continuously using Ash's psychic powers, and it was a long time before they were able to stand firmly on solid ground again.

At this moment, they are in a huge underground space.

Ash had Pikachu light up the arc of electricity, and the three of them explored around, discovering that it seemed to be a ruin... or rather an altar, carved out using special methods.

The entire space was empty except for a few broken steps in the center, which were also empty.

(This is an illusion created by the seal; the Punishment Pot is right there.) The management spirit reminded us. (Send a Pokémon that can use natural energy, and you can break the seal.)

"Venusaur, Power Whip!"

"Bana!" Ash immediately sent out the Grass Lord. After a brief charge, Venusaur unleashed its vine whip, glowing with a fresh green light, and ripped through the invisible veil in front of it!

After a series of ripples, a bottle bound by special threads appeared before everyone's eyes.

"The Judgment Bottle... it really does harbor resentment." Ash could sense a deep-seated resentment lurking within the Judgment Bottle!

That thing is the villain from the Hoopa movie!

During its long period of sealing, Hoopa's power developed resentment, and it even wanted to replace its original form.

In the original movie, Ash and the others called this thing 'Evil Shadow'.

However, Ash was very curious: was this guy really that strong? How could the great gods in the movie be completely controlled by Evil Shadow?

(That's not true, it's just a hundred-year-old grudge. You can purify it yourself if you spend more time.) The management spirit dismissed this with disdain.

In the theatrical version of Shadow, power is calculated separately.

Hoopa's power is certainly strong, but the resentment itself is only of average strength, far weaker than that of the spirit world.

As the Rainbow Hero whom Ho-Oh wished he could repay with his life, Ash's Aura has been subtly elevated. Even without the Rainbow Wing, he can extinguish this resentment with his own power!

However, it could be considered a decent toy.

Xiao Zhi's eyes darted around, and a mischievous smile quietly appeared on his face.

Ash suddenly shuddered as he reached out and grabbed the Smite Bottle, his gaze instantly turning sharp and sinister.

"Haha, I'm finally out!!" He burst into wild laughter without warning, startling Serena and Nanami.

"Ash, what's wrong..." Serena asked worriedly.

"Xiao Zhi?" A voice, tinged with a chilling undertone, rang out. "Is that the name of the servant I control?"

"Dominate... Ash, what happened to you?" Serena exclaimed in surprise.

"It must be that strange bottle... Ash seems to be being controlled?" Nanami felt something was wrong. How could Ash be so easily defeated?

"Oh, interesting~" Ash turned his attention to Nanami. He used his psychic powers to fly in front of her and looked down at her face.

"Woman, you seem to know quite a bit." Xiao Zhi sneered, lifting Nanami's chin with his finger...

"Ash, that's going too far if you keep playing like this~" Nanami suddenly smiled.

"Ah, this..." Xiao Zhi's expression froze.

Having watched her grow up since she was a child, Nanami truly understands herself.

"Alright, hurry up and land!" Nanami playfully tapped Ash's forehead. "Making jokes like this, and even using psychic powers to make up for the height difference, don't you think that's embarrassing?"

"I can't do anything about it..." Xiao Zhi muttered in dissatisfaction.

Ash did indeed train himself to be tall and strong. Although he was only thirteen years old, he looked about fifteen or sixteen. However, compared to the tall and slender Nanami, he was still a little brother.

"Serena, I'm sorry, I was just joking." Ash comforted the girl beside him after the playful banter ended.

"Ugh~" Serena playfully punched Ash's shoulder, only to be met with a grinning face in return.

"Let's go." After the little incident, Ash put away the Judgment Bottle and led the two girls away from the underground space.

However, recalling what had just happened, he felt a little curious.

(The one who created the Jar of Punishment and that seal, right? That's Gulis, isn't it? Just who is he, to be so powerful?)

(Kalos' Valley of Creation was originally established by a group of immigrants from the Green Lands. As for the Gulis you mentioned... he can skillfully manipulate the forces of nature and completely change the appearance of the Source of Life, and create the Punishment Pot for sealing. He must be a Pokémon trainer.)

(The power of Pokémon trainers can only be inherited by the ancient Sinnoh people and their direct descendants; they are a race recognized by the creator god!)

(A Pokémon trainer... an ancient Sinnoh person?!) Ash was shocked!

Please, isn't this the final boss of Alpaca Legend?!

Chapter 685 A Sudden Encounter, Scooping Up the Little Demon God

Desert City, the jewel of the northern desert of Carlos.

While accompanying the two girls through the city filled with skyscrapers, Xiao Zhi kept thinking about many things.

Ancient Shin'u people...

So there is indeed a group of alpaca fanatics who were approved by the creator god to use the power of nature and have been active ever since.

The former Sinnoh region, the Greenland area...

Here we need to correct a possible misconception: the time when the legend of the alpaca occurred is not far removed from the present day, only about a century ago.

In just one century, so much history has been preserved. Perhaps Miss Cabbage herself knows that her great-grandfather was a twisted, paranoid maniac…

"Clang clang~" Just as he was deep in thought, the girl suddenly handed the open guidebook to Ash.

The structure on display is a luxurious tower, which looks somewhat similar to the Jar of Punishment.

"Ash, what are you thinking about?" Serena asked, naturally linking her arm with Ash's.

"Some questions about the Punishment Bottle..." Ash replied casually. "What, you guys want to visit the Desert Tower?"

Serena was showing the landmark building of Desert City.

"Yes, we've been shopping for so long, it's time to see some famous tourist attractions," the girl said cheerfully.

“Indeed, all you do here is shop, shop, shop.” Nanami nodded in agreement. “There aren’t really any scenic spots in the city; instead, it’s full of nouveau riche vibes.”

"There's no way around it; after all, it's a city that became rich overnight. A hundred years ago, this was just a small village. It was the sudden appearance of Hopa that brought enormous wealth to this place."

During their trip, Ash told the two girls the story of Mythical Pokémon.

Ash recounts the entire process from its arrival a hundred years ago, to its rampage caused by being lost to power, and finally to its power being sealed by Gulis. The account is so detailed that it could easily be used as a local history book.

"The Judgment Bottle I obtained was created by Gurisu to seal Hoopa's power," Ash explained at the end.
