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

What should you do when the Poké Ball stops working, the other person refuses to open up, and they won't acknowledge you regardless of whether you win or lose?

Ash believes this will be a topic for trainers to explore in the future, and he and this maverick Swellow will gradually work together to find the conclusion.

...

After a good night's sleep, Ash and the others indeed didn't leave the next day.

Little Star, who woke up first, grabbed two clumps of cotton candy, then used his backpack to trap Lillie, until he pulled everyone up in a chain... to play with her.

Amusement parks are undoubtedly a paradise for children. Jirachi had never seen such novelties in the last millennium, and they had a great time playing around with them.

"Shut..." Absol, who was originally going to take it back, could only shake his head helplessly upon seeing this.

"Why don't you relax a bit? I'll take care of your fur, okay?" Serena invited, taking out a full set of tools and beginning to carefully care for Absol's fur.

The Pokémon she bred, such as Fennekin and Whimsicott, needed to have a clean and beautiful appearance on a daily basis, so she was very good at it.

"Wow, your fur is amazing. If you were to style it, it wouldn't be any less impressive than those Dorimia." Stroking Absol's soft, fluffy white fur, Serena was immediately captivated.

This is so uneven, it's like a full-on perm!

Absol had some reservations about this. "Comparing yourself to a show dog, are you sure you're being polite?"

Of course, Serena's technique was absolutely superb. The stylishly designed monster was only awkward for a short time before it lay on the ground and let the girl do whatever she wanted to it.

On a side note, if Dorimia trains properly, Absol would be a real threat; even Mega Evolution might not be enough to defeat her…

While the little guy was playing with the girls, Xiao Zhi didn't participate. He was supervising Butler as he adjusted the equipment and working with him to develop a plan.

During this time, the management sprite also secretly helped analyze the situation and confirmed that Ash's plan was feasible.

They spent another day at the amusement park, playing all the rides with Kirachi over and over again before finally packing up to leave.

"Hey, if we just go straight through, won't we fall into their encirclement?" Higana asked worriedly before they left.

In her view, Hoenn's higher-ups would certainly not let this go.

Perhaps Daigo has already mustered his troops and is heading for Farns again after returning from Rainbow City.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Let's go first and see what happens." Ash shrugged and activated the Ring.

Sure enough, as soon as they landed, they were immediately surrounded by a huge crowd.

Steven was still leading the group, and this time he not only brought Mura, but also Wallace, along with Cuckoo, the Gym Leader of Rustboro City…

Ash even saw May's father, Senri, the Petalburg Gym Leader, in the crowd!

As for the others, like the police, gym apprentices, and family trainers... they're just lackeys.

"Hmph, making such a big fuss, who are you trying to scare?" Higana scoffed disdainfully.

“Dad…” Xiaoyao looked troubled, completely at a loss for what to do.

When Ash was fighting Steven, she was a little worried, but she didn't expect that he would actually call her parents!

"Mr. Daigo, you brought so many people here, are you trying to push me over as the boss?" Ash asked casually, completely disregarding the commotion.

"Ash, I have no intention of being your enemy, but when it comes to the safety of Hoenn, I really have no other choice!" Steven seemed very troubled. "The climate in northern Hoenn is deteriorating, and only Jirachi can solve the problem right now!"

"So, you'll take action against them too?" "Go!"

As soon as Ash finished speaking, Absol let out a long hiss.

“They are…” Daigo was startled, but then he realized that they were surrounded by all kinds of Pokémon!

Flygon, Tropius, Breloom... all sorts of Pokémon crowded around, glaring angrily at the Hoenn leaders!

"Farns' Pokémon...why?" Wallace asked, puzzled.

When they arrived yesterday, these Pokémon were quite restrained, and everything was peaceful throughout the night.

"All the Pokémon in Farns are willing to give everything to protect Jirachi, because it brings bounty to this land," Ash said solemnly. "And Jirachi has now chosen to trust us... If you try to steal it, you will be making an enemy of the entire Farns!"

Higanbana's worries are unnecessary. No matter how many people Steven brings, there will be no conflict between the two sides... unless these guys actually attack Farns' wild Pokémon in order to steal Jirachi!

But are they still high-ranking members of the alliance? Aren't they just robbers?

If they dare to do that, Ash will definitely unleash Mewtwo and beat them to a pulp!

"How did we get involved with them again?" Mikuri frowned and advised, "Ash, Hoenn is really... Hey!"

With the rings activating beneath his feet and the sudden, unexpected suppression of his superpowers above his head, Mikoli's figure vanished instantly.

"Ash, what are you doing?!" Steven shouted anxiously.

"It's nothing. I don't like listening to him talk, so I sent him to Indigo Plateau," Ash replied casually.

“Indigo Plateau…” While Steven and the others were still skeptical, Ash’s phone rang.

The caller was Yulongdu, so Xiaozhi simply put it on speakerphone.

"Ash, what's Wallace doing in my office? Did you do this?"

"I just tossed it over casually. If you find it annoying, just send him to wait for me at Maiden Gorge."

"Throw... no, next time something like this happens, could you at least give me a heads-up?" Yu Longdu complained helplessly on the phone. "My subordinate is reporting to me in the middle of a work session, and suddenly some scantily clad... uh, anyway, don't throw him onto my desk!"

"Okay, I'll be more careful next time." Ash hung up the phone half-heartedly, then looked around at the Hoenn executives. "Anyone else want to go on a trip to Kanto again?"

A group of people, led by Steven, couldn't help but shudder. Ash's Ring ability was too bizarre, and they didn't want to experience it firsthand.

"Tch, a bunch of cowards." Xijiana's taunt immediately made everyone's faces turn extremely ugly.

"Mr. Daigo, I'll just ask you one question... I promise I can solve the Chimney Mountain problem, can you trust me just this once?!"

This is Ash's last chance for Steven. If it still doesn't work, he'll have no choice but to break off all pretense of civility.

"I...believe you!" At this critical moment, Steven finally mustered his courage. "We will no longer fight over Jirachi, and we implore you to resolve the crisis in Hoenn!"

"Champion!" Mura's expression changed instantly.

"I'm the champion, I make the decisions!" Steven shouted. "Ash's actions in Kanto are clear for all to see. At this point, our only choice is to trust him! If anything happens, I will take full responsibility!"

"Don't worry, with you saying that, I'll take full responsibility if anything goes wrong," Ash said confidently. "Now, everyone except Steven and Mr. Senri, get out of Farns!"

Steven did show some responsibility, at least making Ash less disappointed with the Hoenn leadership.

The group led by Mulla retreated in a huff, making a big show of nothing, which was quite laughable in retrospect.

"Xiaoyao!" "Dad!"

With so many eyes no longer watching, Qianli and his daughter were finally able to reunite.

"Dad, let me tell you, Ash... uh." After calming down, Haruka immediately wanted to introduce Ash to Chisato.

But then I thought, maybe my father understands Satoshi better than I do…

"Mr. Senri, it's a pleasure to meet you." Ash greeted him first, without mentioning anything else or explaining why Higanbana had a sour face.

"I really didn't expect Xiaoyao to know you. I heard you've helped her a lot," Qianli said with a smile.

He had been quietly observing from the crowd and had a good first impression of Xiaozhi.

After all, aside from one particular aspect, Ash is universally acclaimed... not to mention that Senri is from Johto.

"Satoshi, what are your plans to do about the Mt. Chimney situation?" Steven asked worriedly.

He's staked everything on this, and now he desperately needs some good news.

"I'll go take a look first, Lillie. You bring Jirachi with me."

"Ok."

Without giving any further instructions, Ash led Lillie through the circle, leaving the rest of his companions behind.

This can be seen as his trust in Daigo.

The expected heat wave didn't hit the crater opposite the circle; Ash only felt a deathly stillness.

He looked down at the lava below, a dark, indistinct mass; the entire volcano seemed completely dead…

"Let's try this..." Ash thought for a moment and took out the Fire-type Life Source he had obtained earlier.

He carefully kindled a tiny flame and sent it into the volcano below, but the lava, like scorched coals, glowed red for a moment before turning to ash…

"Even the Source of Life won't work?!" The severity of the situation far exceeded Ash's expectations.

(This might not be a problem with Chimney Mountain itself, but rather an influence from other worlds.) the management elf guessed.

(Other worlds?) Ash was confused.

(The world doesn't exist in isolation; where there is a real world, there also exists a spirit world.) The managing spirit explained, (Perhaps in another world, the supporting structure corresponding to Chimney Mountain was destroyed, leading to its permanent demise in the real world.)

(Support...isn't that the Reverse World?) Ash was immediately shocked.

Could it be that Giratina from the Reverse World destroyed Chimney Mountain?!

conspiracy…

After carefully inspecting the condition of Mt. Chimney, Ash smelled this scent.

He initially thought it was the work of the water fleet, but now it seems he was wrong.

If Archie is really that powerful, able to connect with the Distortion World and Giratina, then why bother waking up Kyogre? Why not just destroy all the land support structures in the Distortion World?
