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

“I read in the guidebook that only the area north of Mount Tianguan is truly cold, and that Chefeng City is even covered in snow all year round,” Lillie explained.

Xiao Zhi did not participate in the conversation between the two women. He had been in a daze ever since he got off the plane.

My heart was pounding incessantly, as if receiving a jumble of chaotic signals…

When he came to his senses, he realized that the two women were looking at him with concern.

"Ash, what's wrong?" Serena asked worriedly. "Is it because you're too tired from the flight?"

"It's nothing, I was just a little distracted," Xiao Zhi said, shaking his head reassuringly, not understanding why he was like that.

(This might be due to the lingering effects of the red chains.) The guardian spirit reminded him, (Sinnoh is the birthplace of the world and the slumbering place of the gods; it's not surprising that you, possessing an artifact of creation, would sense something.)

(What does this feeling point to?) Ash asked, puzzled.

(It's hard to say; time, space, emotions, even fate could be involved... You possess many powers, and you'll only know the specifics when you encounter them.)

(Okay~)

I guess I'll just have to explore and see for now; I guess I'm destined to get entangled with this place a lot...

bell!

Just as Xiao Zhi came to his senses and was about to leave with the two girls, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded throughout the airport, and then they saw a large number of guards quickly gathering.

"Strange... Has something happened?" Lillie couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Let's go take a look."

Ash led the two girls to Officer Jenny, who was in charge at the airport. After revealing their identities, Officer Jenny provided them with detailed information.

"Hijacking?!" *3

All three of them looked astonished.

A plane that had just taken off has been hijacked by terrorists. The police only know that the crew has been taken into custody, but they do not know the plane's exact flight path, making it difficult to prepare for a rescue.

I arrived in Sinnoh just in time for a crime thriller... it was pretty exciting.

"I'll take care of it. It shouldn't be too hard to catch up since it just took off," Ash said after thinking for a moment. "You two stay here and wait for me. I'll be back soon."

"Uh... Mr. Ash, do you mean we're going to chase after that plane?" Officer Jenny from Sinnoh thought this was completely absurd.

Please, how fast would your Pokémon have to fly to catch up with a moving passenger plane?

And even if you could catch up, could you somehow magically walk into the plane?

What a coincidence! Xiao Zhi can easily do both of these things~

boom!

Summoning Dragonite, it soared into the sky, instantly reaching supersonic speeds of Mach 2.5, which stunned Officer Jenny.

With the help of the route provided by the management sprite, Ash caught up with the plane in no time.

He kept his distance and followed for a while, during which he used his superpowers to project his vision into the plane and confirm the situation inside the cabin.

Strangely, there were no terrorists on the plane.

Those responsible for guarding the area were air marshals, flight attendants, and some passengers... all of whom were male.

They seemed to be hypnotized by some special means, their eyes vacant as they watched over the other trembling passengers.

"Alakazam, Mega Evolve!" Just to be on the safe side, Ash called on Mega Alakazam to help control the situation. "Teleport in later and take control of the cabin immediately!"

"Hu!"

With a flash, Ash and Alakazam appeared simultaneously in the cabin, and the spreading psychic ripples instantly bound everyone.

"Wait... this isn't hypnosis, it's a charm technique?" After carefully examining the men, Xiao Zhi frowned.

The terrorist hijacked the plane using a Pokémon, and it was a female one at that?

To have honed a charm technique to the point where it works on men is quite an achievement…

Fortunately, although this mind control was quite strong, Alakazam was still able to use his psychic powers to eliminate it.

As the mind control was lifted, the group of people on the plane began to wake up as if from a dream. After stabilizing the situation, Ash revealed his identity to them.

Then, he heard another incredibly surprising piece of news from the flight attendant.

"There are no terrorists on this plane. You're being controlled by... a Togepi?!"

What kind of magical plot is this? A Togepi has infiltrated a passenger plane and used its charm to hypnotize all the men in the cabin, including the captain, first officer, and observer in the cockpit. This Togepi is so awesome...

Okay, it seems there really is.

Ash remembered that in the anime there was a super-powerful Togepi that stole a rocket!

If Rayquaza hadn't stopped it, it might have actually rushed into space.

Could it be that one...?

As Ash pondered this, he used his waveguide to probe the situation inside the cockpit.

That's right, there are only three humans and a Pokémon's aura inside, so it seems to be the 'terrorist'.

"Hudi, control it, catch it!" "Hudi!"

This was child's play for Alakazam; it probed its psychic powers through the hatch gap and immediately used Instant Transmission.

When it emerged again, it held an egg that was struggling incessantly in its hand.

"Catch it, catch it!"

That was indeed a Togepi. Just a second ago it was struggling in Alakazam's hands, but after seeing Ash, it immediately put on a pitiful crying face.

Before Ash could even speak, it immediately turned evil and smacked Ash in the face.

Unfortunately, its little scheme was destined to fail. Ash is much more resilient than the average person; he wouldn't turn into a pervert like that...

"Captain, everything's fine now, let's turn back." Ash used his psychic powers to curl Togepi into a ball, released the pilots from their mind control, and signaled them to contact the airport before turning back.

Without Pokébé's interference, the plane landed at the airport quickly.

As soon as the hatch opened, a group of fully armed police officers surrounded them.

"Uh... Mr. Ash, where are the hijackers?" Officer Jenny asked nervously.

"Here it is." Ash showed it off while holding Togepi, which immediately made Officer Jenny's lips twitch.

There's a limit to jokes, isn't there? I could believe you if you said the hijackers were aliens, but it turned out to be an egg?

“It really was it that hijacked the plane; everyone on the plane can testify to that,” Ash explained. “Don’t underestimate it because of its small size; it’s a vicious and ferocious Pokémon that most trainers simply can’t handle.”

"Is that so..." Officer Jenny went to confirm the situation with some doubt... and then she had a look of utter disbelief.

As for this Togepi, Ash was naturally in charge of dealing with it.

After reuniting with the two girls, Ash asked Togepi about the reason for hijacking the plane.

(I'm going to Hoenn, the center of the Green Moss Universe, you know? I'm going to fly there!) Togepi said proudly, hands on his hips.

"Green Ridge Space Center...you're not going to steal a rocket, are you?"

(How did you know?)

Seeing Togepi's nonchalant attitude, Ash was extremely upset.

Damn, this Koby is practically a human!

It can autonomously learn to use a Stand, fireballs, superhuman strength, and charm; its special moves are powerful, and its acting skills are also incredibly good…

Let's just say these are its special talents, but it actually takes the initiative to inquire about news from other regions!

The story about Hoenn and Mossdeep Cosmos is that it robbed... well, I heard it from male passersby while they were having friendly interactions with it.

"No... I don't understand, why are you so obsessed with stealing rockets?" Ash asked curiously.

(Of course, I'm going to space! My goal is the end of the universe!) Togepi waved her little hand, her face clearly saying, "I... uh, I'm going to conquer the stars!"

"Then come with me." Ash extended an olive branch directly. "A dangerous guy like you can't be left unchecked... but if I capture you, your wish might have a chance to come true."

"Chake?" Pokobi's eyes lit up.

Let me tell you, you human, are you really going to take me to steal a rocket?

"Can you please stop thinking about that rocket?!" Ash rolled his eyes, exasperated. "I have lots of Pokémon from outer space around me. They can take you to outer space and even through black holes. There's no need for a rocket at all!"

"Cha-ke! Cha~~"

Realizing that Ash wasn't lying, Togepi immediately gave him a high five, as if afraid Ash might change his mind.

After that, it jumped straight into Ash's arms and started rubbing against him affectionately...

"Looking at it like this, it seems so cute," Lillie exclaimed. "Who would have thought that such a beautiful rose would have thorns..."

"Spikes? This is clearly poisonous!" Serena retorted speechlessly.

Thanks to this most evil Togepi in history, she can no longer look at her Togekiss the same way...

Chapter 711 Arrival in Shuangye Town

Sinnoh Twinleaf Town, a town where new leaves are sprouting.

After leaving the airport, Ash and his friends finally arrived here.
