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

Chapter 689 A lingering ghost that has lasted for a century!

The brother and sister clearly did not want to believe what Wang Luo said.

The guy in front of me looks about the same age as Balzac, or maybe even younger. Could he be friends with his great-grandfather?

Even if they're friends despite the age gap, this guy was probably just a little kid when they met.

After his siblings were born, his great-grandfather never left the Valley of Creation, so how could there be such a 'friend'?

"Who exactly are you?" Balza asked coldly. "Our great-grandfather just passed away not long ago. It's best not to make jokes like this!"

"You think I'm joking?" Wang Luo asked, feigning an air of maturity. "You two disrespectful juniors, if you're serious about it, you should both call me grandpa!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" "Hey, I'm really angry!"

The brother and sister were both furious when they felt they had been taken advantage of.

“Kids these days have such poor learning abilities.” Wang Luo seemed disappointed with the siblings’ performance. “It has been over a hundred years since I last saw Gulis… He was a good tamer, but unfortunately his descendants are completely useless.”

"What did you say...uh!" "My body...can't move?!"

Balza and Mayali were shocked and furious upon hearing this. They wanted to argue back, but they found that a powerful restraint was suddenly placed on them.

Behind Wang Luo, there was also a strangely shaped flower plate.

It was a Flower Rock Monster, constantly releasing superpowers that suppressed the two siblings so much that they couldn't even move a finger.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you two brats." Wang Luo threatened with a sinister smile, "Take me to the Judgment Jar, or... I'll dig up your great-grandfather's grave and control his corpse to find it myself!"

"You bastard... how dare you?!" Balzac immediately cursed angrily.

“But the Judgment Jar has already been destroyed…” Mayari said the truth with concern.

"What? It was destroyed? Flower Rock Monster, see what happened?!" Wang Luo's expression changed, and he immediately ordered Flower Rock Monster to use hypnosis to read the memories of the brother and sister.

"This is... they beat us to it again?!" Having seen the whole story from the minds of the two siblings, Wang Luo was extremely furious, and his expression changed from a cold smile to a ferocious one.

"We were outmaneuvered in Hoenn, and here we're a step behind again... I really underestimated this piece."

This was not the first time he had fallen behind. With one of his pieces, Dakdo, being eliminated, Wang Luo was brought back from the sidelines and began to take over the unfinished task from his opponent.

However, when he arrived in Hoenn, he found the place to be calm and peaceful, with both the Water and Fire organizations having disappeared without a trace, and there was no sign of impending disaster.

Wang Luo certainly couldn't let things just settle down like that. However, when he started to take action, he discovered that the two key treasures of Hoenn had been taken away in advance!

Mount Sendo and the Temple of Awakening are now completely empty...

After his bizarre setback in Hoenn, Wang Luo remembered his mission in Carlos and rushed to the Valley of Creation... only to find it empty again!

The Jar of Punishment was taken away, along with the three life sources of water, fire, and earth, as well as Hoopa's powerful ring power—all of which benefited that chess piece!

"Who...who are you? Release Mayali and Balza at once!"

Just as Wangluo was throwing a tantrum, Little Hoopa finally appeared. Seeing the two siblings being bullied, it immediately rushed over, scattering the donuts it was holding all over the ground.

“It’s you, the Demon God of the Halo.” Upon seeing Little Hoopa, Wang Luo’s eyes lit up. “You look much cuter now than before.”

"You are... um!" Hoopa was about to ask a question when Wang Luo suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on its forehead, and a strange force immediately bound its body.

"This is... Gulis's..." Hoopa exclaimed in shock!

The person in front of me is clearly using the same power as Gulis... a power capable of sealing me!

"Very powerful, isn't it? It's a pity I wasn't recognized back then and couldn't use all the abilities of a tamer." Wang Luo seemed to recall with some regret. "By the way, you don't really remember me, do you? A hundred years ago, we had a lot of fun~"

"A hundred years ago?" Hoopa was stunned. "You mean... no!!"

Long-forgotten memories suddenly surged back like a tidal wave, and Hupa finally remembered his past experiences.

A hundred years ago, although humans and Pokémon could not coexist peacefully, the name 'Pokémon' had gradually become widely known.

However, on the lush land of that time, there was a Pokémon that was given the infamous name of 'Demon God'.

This demon was Hoopa, who used the power of the rings to act recklessly and caused a lot of trouble.

Later, it was suppressed by the newly born hero of the Green Heroes—a girl who had gained the approval of the Great Lord of Sinnoh.

The girl was a reasonable human. She didn't make things difficult for Hoopa, but instead made a deal with it, forbidding it from using its powers at will.

It can only use the power of the ring to help when there is a need among humans.

Hoopa wasn't an evil Pokémon, so it readily agreed and lived a comfortable life thereafter.

But the good times didn't last long, and Hoopa was soon targeted by someone else.

It was Wang Luo who had his eye on it. Compared to the heroic girl, Wang Luo was an absolute madman in Hoopa's eyes.

Not only did the opponent find the Sinnoh Grandmaster's treasure to suppress him, but they also attempted to capture him using something called a Poké Ball.

After nearly being captured several times, Hoopa dared not stay in Xicui any longer and escaped through the ring road to what it considered the 'end of the world'... which was the desert city a hundred years ago.

What followed was a classic case of forgetting its past mistakes and going too far in Desert City, where it was eventually suppressed and sealed away by Gulis, a fellow tamer…

Having fully recalled the details of the past, Hoopa couldn't help but wonder if Gulis's appearance was too coincidental... But Wangluo had no intention of giving it another chance to think!

"Time, space, and all the myriad phenomena of the world must heed the command of the Divine Lord... Suppress!" He chanted the incantation passed down through generations of tamers, and at the same time, a huge stone slab shimmering with purple light floated out from the Flower Rock Monster, using strange light to completely seduce Hoopa's mind!

"Hmph, the power of the Ghost Source, let's see how you resist!" Wang Luo sneered, took out an old-fashioned wooden Poké Ball with a simple and rustic design, and put the helpless Hoopa into the ball.

"The Demon God with the halo, after escaping for a hundred years, was still captured by me, wasn't he?" Wang Luo revealed a smug smile, gripping the Poké Ball and commanding, "Activate the rings and retrieve the other sources of life!"

Hoopa didn't play the ball, but a ring obediently unfolded... However, Wang Luo waited for a long time, but didn't even get a scrap of the Punishment Pot.

"Can't get it? Damn it!" Wang Luo's expression turned angry, but he quickly figured out the reason.

Ash, who had taken the treasure in advance, clearly also had a way to use the power of the rings. Moreover, he possessed the power after the rings were released, which was much stronger than the power he used to punish Hoopa, so naturally his rings would become ineffective.

"If that's the case, then we probably won't be able to get those two pearls either... In that case, open the passage, I'm going to the Reverse World!" After thinking it over, Wang Luo issued a new order.

He's going to see his 'old friend' from a hundred years ago... With the exclusive jewel given to him by the Great Lord Sinnoh, the other party will surely be happy to cooperate again.

"As for you two juniors, tell the others in the valley that Hupa has left on his own, understand?"

"Yes..." *2

Balza and Mayari nodded mechanically until Wangluo led the Flower Rock Monster into the dark circle, at which point their consciousness gradually returned.

"Brother, what happened just now?" Mei Yali asked, rubbing her head. "I feel dizzy, and all the donuts spilled. What a waste!"

"It's nothing, you were just careless." Balza shook his head and urged seriously, "Hurry up and pick them all up, then go home."

"Yes, yes, brother, you're becoming more and more like an old man~" The girl made a face in dissatisfaction.

Throughout the entire conversation, the brother and sister maintained their usual routine, no one found it inappropriate, and they never mentioned Hoopa again.

In their minds, Hoopa had already left the Valley of Creation on his own long ago…

Meanwhile, in the distant ocean, Ash and his friends had already used the power of the rings to easily travel to Melemele Island in Alola!

Chapter 690 The Reunion in Alola... and a Minor Problem

One second they were enveloped in a sandstorm, and the next they were suddenly transported to a tropical beach. Nanami and Serena were surprised and immediately attracted by the scenery of Alola.

"This place is truly beautiful; it's no wonder it's a world-famous tourist island," Nanami exclaimed. "It has great development potential!"

"The beach here is so clean, it feels so nice to walk on." Serena had already taken off her shoes and was walking barefoot on the pure white sand, a comfortable and lovely expression on her face.

But soon, she remembered something and became a little worried.

"Ash, do we really not need to prepare anything and can just start playing right away?"

Suddenly transported here, with many procedures yet to be completed and accommodations not yet arranged... wouldn't it be too carefree to just start having fun right away?

"Don't worry, I've already contacted the Ether Foundation, they'll take care of everything."

Those in positions of power should maintain a certain air. Alola is practically Ash's backyard now, so he no longer needs to personally handle trivial matters like immigration registration and hotel reservations.

"Ether Foundation... Ash, could you please arrange a meeting with Miss Biko for me when you have some free time?" Nanami had also thought of something important.

Nanami knew that Ash wanted to participate in the construction of the Alola League and become the champion there.

She also has considerable knowledge of the Ethereum Foundation.

This is a high-tech enterprise with great development potential, and it is also closely related to the ultimate space. It must be completely under Xiaozhi's control!

"Sis, we said we're here to have fun, so let's not think about these things for now," Xiao Zhi reminded her helplessly. "The scenery is so beautiful, let's enjoy ourselves first."

"Okay, whatever you say, you can play however you want~" Nanami giggled, her swaying charm making Ash's eyes water.

There are so many things he wants to do...

Having decided to relax, the three of them fully immersed themselves in their fun. They changed into their swimsuits in the lounge, instantly creating a beautiful scene on the beach.

With two beautiful women, one tall and one short, by his side, Xiao Zhi was surrounded by layers of envious, jealous, and hateful gazes.

Especially Nanami, who beat out cross-dressing Kojiro to win second place in the beauty pageant in Lamplech back then...

Although this achievement is a bit strange~

Compared to before, Nanami's figure is now taller and more mature, making a group of people forget to blink in an instant.

"Let's go for a spin in the sea." After strolling on the beach for a while, Ash suggested that they ride their Pokémon and take a trip in the sea.

The two girls had no objections, so Ash gave Blastoise and Milotic to them, and then grabbed his surfboard and rushed into the sea with Froakie.

Although the waves here aren't as fierce as those in Hoenn, they're still a great place for some light exercise.
