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

They have faces resembling those of an alpaca, are covered in white downy fur, and have five flame-like antennae around their bodies—they are the burning insects!

Everyone then realized that the golden wall and the passage behind the nest were connected, and the space behind the mural was originally used for the fire moth to lay its eggs.

"No way..." Homiga muttered to himself, "Those people from ancient times actually built a golden birthing room for the Volcano Moth?"

That's right, the Golden City is actually the nest of the Volcarona moth, and the Clay Golem's role is to prevent anyone from stealing the eggs...

The way it is now, it should be considered embezzlement.

However, the two Burning Bugs did not attack. They checked the situation with the Claydol and carefully examined the Jade Beetle Tablet in Ash's hand, then nodded to each other.

One of the Charizards turned to Ash, indicating that he could take the egg with the special pattern.

"Thank you! I will take good care of it, and this stone slab will become its strength!" Ash was overjoyed and quickly made a promise.

He's absolutely been hit by a huge windfall!

That special egg was clearly going to hatch into a shimmering Volcano moth!

Ash not only got the egg, but also the matching Bug-type stone!

Of course, these two things are related. It was because Ash had the ability to unseal the stone tablets that the Burning Bugs were willing to entrust their incredibly promising partner to him after listening to the advice of the Golem.

Seeing that Ash had obtained the egg, the styrofoil gave an order to the dung beetle, which immediately created a large rock to block the entrance.

The two burning insects simultaneously spewed out high-temperature flames, causing the gold around the cave entrance to flow down like liquid, completely sealing the entrance again.

Having done all that, the two burning insects left through the passage to the side, and the wall that had just been opened closed again, so tightly that it was almost impossible to see any flaws.

"Let's go too." After collecting all their loot, Ash led the group away from the ruins.

Before leaving, he went to find the previous expedition team and explained the matter of the Golden City to the team leader.

Ash caught a Claydol, and the Giant Ruins can now be explored freely, but in the Golden Corridor, it's best to stop at the murals.

Do not disturb the fire moths and fireflies, and even more importantly, do not leak their information, or trouble will surely follow.

For example, poachers, or mysterious individuals who claim to be searching for mythical creatures but actually find them along the way.

In the animated series, the Burning Worms, unable to bear the harassment any longer, moved their eggs to an abandoned mine and refused to approach the Golden City again.

Therefore, Ash solemnly warned the expedition team and asked Homika to help contact Officer Jenny in the area.

This area should soon be designated as a protected area.

...

After leaving the Wilderness Scenic Area, Ash's only remaining task in Unova was to take the little foxes home.

They are heading to the Enchanted Forest, and on the way they will pass through Raven City, the entertainment capital of Unova.

Compared to the busy and stressful Flying Cloud City, Raven City is undoubtedly much more relaxed. The entire city is filled with all kinds of entertainment facilities, including parks, theaters, and amusement parks.

So, Ash and his friends stayed there for a while longer.

"No, I don't want to go back now! We're already near home, let's wander around the city a bit before we leave!"

The cause, of course, was the little fox's tantrum. With their separation imminent, Zoroah really didn't want to part with Ash.

Xiao Zhi could understand its feelings, and didn't force it to go back. Instead, he led everyone on a wild adventure in the city.

During this time, he also temporarily took some things from Guandu.

"Here, this is for you." While shopping, Ash suddenly approached Homika and handed her a pink badge.

"This is..." Homiga blinked in confusion, wondering what Ash meant.

"This is the pink badge from the Fuchsia Gym in Kanto. It's a specially made, powerful version. If a trainer carries it, it can boost the power of Poison-type moves for Pokémon below the Elite Four level, and it can be stacked with other items," Ash explained with a smile. "I'm so grateful for your help during my trip to Unova. Consider this a souvenir."

"Hey, this is great stuff! I'll keep it." Homiga's eyes lit up, and he generously accepted the badge.

"It's frequently used in battles, and its energy will decrease. That's when you need to send it back to the Pokémon Center in Kanto or Johto to recharge," Ash reminded. "You can also just call me; that will be much more efficient."

Ash's original intention was that he had a ring, which he could charge and then send back to Homika, thus saving the trouble of mailing it.

However, these words were clearly misinterpreted by the girl and had some other meaning.

“Got it, I'll keep in touch anytime, right?” Homiga nodded knowingly, then asked with a mischievous grin, “But won't my frequent calls bother you? What if you're doing something naughty with your girlfriends…”

"Come on, this is getting more and more outrageous!"

Xiao Zhi couldn't understand why such a normal instruction had come out of place in her mouth.

Girlfriends... could your statement be any more outrageous?!

"Anyway, thanks to your help this time." After feeling annoyed for a while, Ash forced the topic back to a serious level, seeing Homiga laughing so hard he was doubled over.

In response, he even adopted an official tone: "I have already asked Mr. Du to contact the United States authorities. They should give you some commendation for this cooperative operation that cracked down on the criminal gang."

"Hey, is this really necessary?" Homiga punched Ash on the shoulder. "Giving me things and offering me rewards... I'm getting embarrassed."

She felt that besides being a tour guide, she hadn't done much else along the way, especially since Xiaozhi had paid for all the food, drinks, and entertainment.

"How about you do me another favor?" Ash asked tentatively with a smile, "Do you have any connections to catch similar Pokémon?"

"You want to tame the Almost Doll?"

Chapter 738 A Farewell Song, A Look Towards the Future!

Ash does want to find a similar doll, but he doesn't intend to breed it himself; he plans to give it away.

Therefore, it would be best to find a baby that has just been born, or even better, an egg.

He was just saying it casually and didn't mean to put Homiga in a difficult position, but the rock girl rolled her eyes at him with a look that said, "Who do you think you are?"

"It's just a doll, I can get it done for you with a simple phone call~"

Ash was momentarily stunned by Homiga's all-encompassing attitude.

After making more detailed inquiries, Ash learned that Almost Dolls were actually quite common in Unova.

This is different from Chansey. Although both are Nurse Joy's designated partners, Chansey is indeed not common in Kanto and other places. Apart from nursing schools, there are only a few areas where wild populations exist.

However, the almost-doll is widely distributed along more than a dozen main roads in Unova, as well as in many landmark areas, and its population is quite large.

"If you don't believe me, go to the outskirts of the city now, find a clump of grass and shake it around, you might just shake one out."

In short, the doll is pretty much done.

Ash waited in Raven City for less than two days before Homiga gave him an egg, which was sent from the Unova Nursing School.

“This was carefully cultivated to assist Miss Joy, so the quality is definitely not bad,” Homiga said proudly. “However, I didn’t do much. This egg seems to have been specially approved by that indifferent champion… who said it was to thank you on behalf of Volcarona and Burning Bug.”

“Mr. Ardek…” Ash was somewhat surprised.

Only then did he realize that the main force of the United Champions was also Vulcan.

That champion does seem to have a strong affinity for Pokémon, especially when it comes to Pokémon.

Since the other party has taken the initiative to show goodwill, I can't just ignore it...

"Why have plainclothes police officers set up surveillance in some small villages and towns?" While playing at the amusement park, Homiga heard Ash's early strategy for Team Plasma and was momentarily puzzled.

"For a criminal organization to grow to the point of confronting the League, it must find a way to accumulate power. To ensure they don't leave any evidence, they will only conduct propaganda and marches in large towns, mainly to incite people to release Pokémon; but in small villages and towns that the League cannot monitor, they may show their true colors!"

"Understood!" Homiga was overjoyed upon hearing this.

The true face of a criminal is undoubtedly a variety of crimes!

Once one point is confirmed, their entire organization can be defined as a criminal group, and then a full-scale crackdown can be launched!

"As expected of a legendary investigator, his methods are truly impressive~" Homiga hooked his arm around Ash's shoulder, beaming with joy.

"It's just a small suggestion, as a way of thanking both you and Mr. Alder," Ash said with a smile. "This way, I can go back to Kanto with peace of mind."

"Oh right, you're going back..." Homiga seemed a little disappointed when this was mentioned.

However, she quickly regained her enthusiasm, slung her electric bass over her shoulder, and headed straight for the central square of the amusement park.

A carnival celebration was being held over there, and a group of singers and dancers were singing and dancing on stage when, out of the blue, Homiga jumped onto the stage.

After a skillful fingerstyle fingering, the girl undoubtedly took center stage!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Homiga! The performance to come is about to ignite your rationality!!"

Accompanied by powerful music, the girl's voice instantly swept across the square.

As a rock singer, Homiga was so popular that she could hold solo concerts overseas. There were many of her fans in the amusement park at that time. When they suddenly saw their idol on stage, they were surprised and excited, and rushed over from all directions as if they were attending a solo concert.

"This song is for my friend who is about to embark on a long journey. I hope he will like it!" Homiga winked at Ash.

Long, slender fingers plucked the strings, and powerful vocals accompanied by a stirring bass resounded throughout the venue!

She was completely having a blast, and as the bass tempo got faster and faster, she even took out a pick that she rarely uses in her performances, instantly increasing the speed of the music even further.

The audience was shouting and clapping along. As the music reached its climax, Homiga suddenly threw the pick in his hand, which was caught by Xiaozhi in the audience.

On stage and off stage, their eyes met, and they smiled at each other. Xiao Zhi also raised his fist at the girl.

Being a fan of a rock 'n' roll girl seems pretty good~

...

The white-haired girl was indeed carefree; after the farewell concert, she went back to Liyong City alone, without ever thinking of taking Ash and the others to the airport.

According to her, it's not like we'll never see each other again, so there's no need for all that formality.
