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

"Crack!!" Tapu Koko, in its unusual color, let out a sharp screech, and the awe-inspiring golden giant rose from the ground, unleashing a terrifying punch at Gluttony!

Following closely behind, Butterfree and the other two also unleashed their full power, instantly overwhelming Guzzlord's body with their immense energy, rendering it unable to stand up again.

"Brother, I won!" Lila returned happily to Ash's side with her friends.

"Well done, the whole battle was fantastic." Ash gave a heartfelt thumbs up.

Lila has a very high potential, and Ash has always believed that she can achieve even greater things.

For example, defeating the Gods... or even breaking through to the Champion level!

The fact that she was able to gain the approval of Tapu Koko from another world and receive a Shining Stone and her own Z-Skill was an unexpected surprise, and it gave Ash a very feasible idea.

"Pikachu, Solgaleo, go keep an eye on Guzzlord and the Ultra Cave over there." After the matter was over, Ash first sent Pikachu and Solgaleo to keep watch.

He had just tried, and the Gluttony King could not be captured by the Ultra Ball, which confirmed that it had indeed been sent here by someone.

As for killing them directly... that's too troublesome, and it's easy to alert them.

Xiao Zhi had important business to attend to and didn't want any unnecessary complications.

"Diar, I have something I want to ask you," Ash asked Diar seriously. "Besides us, have you encountered any other humans?"

“Other humans…” Dia pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, “I have indeed encountered them, but that was several years ago.”

"How long ago exactly? And who were they?" Little Blue suddenly rushed out and grabbed Dia's sleeve. "Were they a man and a woman? Tell me quickly!"

“They were indeed a man and a woman, probably five or six years ago…” Dia said after thinking for a moment.

Where are they now?!

Chapter 791 Intertwined Messages, New Combat Power

Finally, there's news... Xiao Lan is now incredibly excited.

Ever since she transmigrated to the Ultimate Building, she has been very worried. This place is now like a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and she has no idea how her parents will survive.

But because this was Lila's hometown, and Dia happened to know Lila, she could only suppress her feelings...

However, what Dia said next poured cold water on her enthusiasm.

"They are no longer in this world..."

"No...impossible!" Xiao Lan screamed involuntarily, and even felt a darkness before her eyes.

How could he not be here?

I saw them in Tapu Fini's mist before, so they should still be alive!

"Uh...sorry, I didn't explain clearly." Dia realized she had caused a misunderstanding and quickly clarified, "They were taken away by someone and should be in another world now."

"Another world?" Xiao Lan was taken aback.

“Yes, she was taken away by someone wearing special protective gear,” Dia nodded. “She claimed to be a member of the Ultimate Investigation Team, I think her name was something like Mi…”

"The Ultimate Investigation Team?" Ash exclaimed in surprise. "Did she come from the Ultra Cave? And she's accompanied by Aldebaran and Umbreon?!"

"That's right, she was accompanied by Lunala, and another Pokémon whose name I don't know, which looked like a big purple doll... Ah yes, that's the one!"

While Dia was recalling, Ash suddenly released Poison Baby.

At this point, Ash had completely confirmed the identity of the person Dia had mentioned.

Ultimate Investigation Team, Mi Ling!

In other words, Xiao Lan's parents were taken to the Ultimate Metropolis!

All the previously unrelated lines intertwined at this moment…

Solgaleo, Baby, and Rocksteady all arrived in Alola one after another, all because of the war in Metropolis.

To determine whether Lunala in this world has been devoured by the Mule, Ash's next destination is Metropolis.

Now, he has another crucial reason to go!

"She's carrying both Sun God and Sun God at the same time, but why is there such a big difference?" Dia couldn't help but complain. "That person looks like she hasn't seen the sun in a long time, her face is pale, and her strength is also embarrassing... Last time she said she would help deal with the Gluttonous King, but she sent out both of them and they were still defeated and fled in defeat."

Thinking back to what happened back then, Dia still couldn't help but roll her eyes.

He had assumed that since the Ultimate Investigation Team and the Ultimate Patrol Team had such similar names and the other team was accompanied by Luna, they must be very strong. But it turned out to be a complete fraud.

When the opponent jumped and rode away, Dia and Zeraora covered their retreat.

The man took the couple away and originally intended to take Dia as well, but he resolutely refused.

At that time, Dia was preoccupied with defeating the Gluttonous King.

"Sigh, this is really a terrible example." Ash shrugged helplessly.

The people in Ultra Metropolis put all their skill points into technology, so it's understandable that the trainers' abilities are lacking. However, this has also dragged Ash down, and he's being looked down upon by Dia.

However, the overall situation is still reassuring, at least the location of Xiao Lan's parents has finally been determined.

"That's great... Thank you for telling me all this!" Blue excitedly thanked Dia, then immediately threw herself into Ash's arms. "I... I'm so happy!"

"I understand." Xiao Zhi gently comforted the girl in his arms. He completely understood Xiao Lan's repression over the years and her joy at finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

The girl's vulnerable side didn't last long; she quickly regained her shrewd and capable demeanor and patiently waited for Ash's instructions.

The closer we get to dawn, the more we must not neglect the people around us.

It wasn't just this one ray of light; almost all the light in her past life came from Ash!

"Let me tell you about the situation here... There's no hope for this world in the short term," Ash said bluntly.

The faces of everyone in the Ultimate Building were somewhat somber, yet they had to admit Ash's words.

The idea that pushing Guzzlord back into the Ultra Wormhole would bring peace to Alola is ultimately just a desperate fantasy...

If everything is manipulated, the other side may already know about the unusual activity here and will soon send a large army to press on the border!

“So, come with me,” Ash offered. “We’ll go to Metropolis first to find Blue’s parents, and then we’ll go to Alola.”

Dia has endured many hardships and possesses a resolute personality, while Zeraora also has the foundation of a mythical beast. With a little training, they can at least become elite-level fighters.

Tapu is an outstanding member among the legendary level 2 beings, and these are exactly the combat strength enhancements that Ash urgently needs!

"Want to go together..." "Ugh..." "Click?"

At the same time, Dia, Zeraora, and Tapu Koko all fell into deep thought.

"Of course I must admit, I'm not trying to protect you, but rather I covet your strength. My Alola is also facing a tremendous crisis... far more terrifying than that of the Gluttonous King!"

Ash didn't hide anything and laid out his current predicament in its entirety, including the possibility of him being attacked from both sides.

This is his consistent principle, and he will not break it no matter how dangerous the situation is.

“I’m fairly confident I can win, but if our strength isn’t enough, it will definitely be a Pyrrhic victory. That’s why I need you to join me,” Ash said sincerely. “In exchange, you can live in that world for the time being, and I can guarantee that… once I’ve accumulated enough power, I will bring you all back to fight our way out and take down the mastermind behind this place!”

"Also... if you want to refuse, I'll just take you to a safe place."

Ash set very lenient conditions. Since he had Lyra's connection to Dia, he was determined to help her no matter what, and it wouldn't hurt to bring along another Guardian.

“Hmm…” Zeraora was clearly moved. As a Pokémon, it could clearly sense Ash’s sincerity in using the power of Psychic.

This human isn't just talking; he genuinely wants to give his side the freedom to choose!

Zeraora greatly admired and even respected this, but in its heart, it recognized Dia. Although it had not been subdued, it was already Dia's close partner and comrade-in-arms.

If Dia disagrees, it can only…

“I agree!” Dia suddenly spoke up. “Zeraora is willing to believe in you, so I am willing to believe in you too!”

Bonds are always mutual, and Dia also considers Zeraora his most important partner, so he is naturally willing to fulfill her wishes.

"Click... Click!!" Tapu Koko suddenly flew into the sky, calling out to the distant chaos.

Soon, three dark streaks of light flew to the top of everyone's heads one after another; the other three different colored guardian deities had arrived!

Tapu Koko explained the situation to them, and after exchanging words for a while, the four guardian deities simultaneously landed beside Ash.

"The future King of Alola, recognized by the guardian deity of another world, we are willing to entrust our trust to you!" Shiny Tapu Koko spoke in a human voice, solemnly entrusting Ash with this task. "We voluntarily become your weapons to fight for a world that does not belong to us, and we hope that you will keep your promise and help us redeem this apocalyptic world!"

"I will never break my promise!" Ash replied resolutely.

He was determined to keep his promise, no matter what, especially since this was Lila's hometown. He was determined to find the mastermind behind it all and save the place!

Chapter 792 Ultimate Metropolis, the Four-Jaknae Needle Dragon in the Dragon's Nest

After a short rest, Ash decided to head to Ultra Metropolis immediately.

Not only because speed is of the essence, Ash was also constantly on the verge of fleeing, feeling that a certain mule might be chasing him and Solgaleo all along.

Since that's the case, he might as well go and try his luck in the other party's hometown.

Ash signaled Solgaleo to open the Ultra Cave, leaving Guzzlord to fend for itself in the ruins, and then gathered everyone together to cross it again!

After passing through the passage this time, they arrived at another desolate and dark space.

“This place seems to be the Deep Sea…” With darkness all around and a lifeless wasteland below, Lillie even wondered if they had come to the wrong place.

However, the other Lillie recognized that this was definitely not her hometown.

"You all go back into your balls first." As soon as they landed, Ash used the Ultra Ball to put Solgaleo and Tapu into the ball.
