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

“You don’t need to feel too much pressure. Taking his life is a right granted to you by law,” Xiao Zhi said calmly, seemingly without any emotional turmoil. “Besides, you are giving justice to the victim and even the whole world. I don’t need you to think it’s glorious, but at least don’t think you’re wrong!”

This is the first death penalty in the history of the League that will surely be recorded here. As the initiator of the bill, Ash was naturally invited to attend the event.

His calm demeanor contrasted sharply with the inexperienced bailiffs on site.

Everything that happens in the injection room is also faithfully recorded by surveillance cameras.

Then, somehow the video was unearthed and went viral around the world in a very short time!

This was actually at Ash's behest, and the Kanto League did it on purpose. They had finally passed this historic law, so of course they had to release some evidence to prove its authenticity to the world.

As a result, all sorts of opinions came one after another. Some cheered, some panicked, and most of them were criticized.

Within Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Galar, and even the Great Wall, dissenting voices have emerged. They believe that Ash is the real murderer, and that the death penalty law is simply giving the executioner a green light!

Ash's past actions in Larus have been brought up again, with people saying that he was a dangerous person who liked to disregard human life, which is why he destroyed the Battle Tower without batting an eye.

Do criminals have no human rights? Do they necessarily have to die?

At worst, can't life imprisonment be an option?

Just because you're a champion, do you have the right to deprive others of their right to live?!

Such accusations have been rampant online. These people hiding behind their keyboards have completely forgotten that Ash had just protected Alola and indirectly saved the world just half a month ago.

However, this is understandable, since the fire didn't reach them.

Moreover, what these people like best is to defend criminals, because that's what generates enough buzz.

Otherwise, should we speak up for the victims or their families? That would only bring us a useless thank you and no benefit whatsoever.

Moreover, many of the victims in Kote's case were Pokémon, and these people would be even less concerned about their suffering.

Ironically, the people who used to claim they loved Pokémon and those who harmed Pokémon were all utterly wicked, and they were basically the same group of people.

Another ridiculous thing is that many people within Hoenn have also spoken out, criticizing Ash as well.

They didn't dare to jump out immediately, but seeing that Xiao Zhi was being widely criticized, they followed suit and kicked him a couple of times.

In response to these criticisms and slanders, Xiao Zhi made a statement in his personal capacity, saying that the death penalty law gives the entire alliance the right to take the lives of criminals, and that he and the bailiffs were merely the executors.

Furthermore, he advised those with ulterior motives not to harbor any illusions…

Because of their numerous evil deeds, they cannot be tolerated by law!

This statement, of course, caused another huge uproar, and in this wave, Alola finally made its move.

The newly crowned Elite Four, the King of the Islands, the Aether Foundation, and even many ordinary islanders have all voiced their support for Ash. Hala even publicly stated that Alola will pass a death penalty bill starting today!

In fact, since the incident, no one in the entire Alola region has raised any objections to Ash.

Such a performance made Lance and other Kanto executives feel ashamed. They finally understood why Ash would give up the Kanto championship that was within his grasp and instead go to a remote island to help someone else establish a league.

Because over there, AI has absolute support!

He is now the light of Alora, illuminating the four islands and piercing through all evil!

On the other hand, Kanto and Johto, apart from official public opinion support, could not provide much substantial help... and instead enjoyed the benefits of this incident.

Despite the clamor online, the alliance has indeed seen a decrease in crime rates recently, which is a real deterrent.

This kind of thing also happened in Alola. Kiawe even called Ash to thank him, saying that a ruthless real estate developer named Brugan had been eyeing Kiawe's ranch, but now he had come to apologize with a bunch of gifts, saying that if he did anything bad again, he would be struck by lightning!

Riding this wave of momentum, the Kanto-Johto alliance announced a series of death penalty resolutions.

Former Rockets stars Apollo, Athena, Lance, and Lambda, who attempted to overthrow the league and committed a series of crimes, were sentenced to death with a six-month reprieve.

The notorious Gur poaching trio and Dank, the Pokémon hunter who orchestrated a natural disaster on Asia Island, were sentenced to death with a one-year reprieve.

These menacing resolutions finally showed the world the Alliance's determination to push through the bill!

Of course, it's worth mentioning that the Rockets' four generals are fully qualified to execute the plan immediately. The reason it was delayed for half a year was mainly because they were fishing for information.

Ash hopes Giovanni can come to their rescue so they can launch another counterattack.

It doesn't matter if they don't come; what's really hurting is the morale of his newly recruited subordinates.

After these resolutions, the uproar finally began to subside, and Ash had already sent Sabrina and her mother back to Alola.

He himself activated the ring and found his parents riding the dragon on the vast ocean.

Lapras absorbed some of the Ice God's energy on Asia Island, and it has the potential to break through to the Champion level. Ash plans to take it with him for final special training, so he came to explain the situation to its parents.

But when they met, he discovered that the dragons had changed their migration route.

"We sensed that the sea area we were supposed to cross was dangerous, so we took a detour beforehand?" Ash found Lapras's father's explanation very strange.

For the past six months or so, Ash has been keeping a close watch on the waters from Johto towards Hoenn, as he has been on guard against the potential disaster in Hoenn. The feedback has been consistently calm and peaceful.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anything particularly serious happening in the ocean, or even something that would frighten the dragons that disregard the wind and waves.

What could it be...?

bell!!

Just as Xiaozhi was about to confirm the situation with Chengmei, his phone suddenly started ringing incessantly!

"Fungi, what happened?!" Ash's heart skipped a beat when he saw that it was a call from a fellow member of Hoenn.

"Ash...something terrible has happened...A massive tsunami has suddenly struck Dew Island, please...come immediately..."

It seemed like the signal was blocked on the other end of the tree, and the sound kept cutting out, but Ash still managed to hear the key information.

Martial Arts Island, a massive tsunami!

"We have to get there right away! Serena, Lapras, let's go!" Time was of the essence, and Ash only had time to say goodbye to the flock of dragons before quickly leading his friends across the circle.

The ring landed on the most crowded beach on Fighting Island. Ash had just stood still when he heard a loud roar from afar!

The sea seemed to be completely enraged, with thick seawater churning and waves estimated to be over ten meters high forming a wall that surged toward Wudou Island!

Disaster has truly struck!!

Chapter 874 The Decision, Two Saviors in Half a Month

"Everyone! Immediately prepare for the tsunami!"

Time was of the essence, and Ash dared not delay. He immediately summoned his companion to begin blocking the tsunami.

Pikachu and other key members took the lead, unleashing various forms of energy towards the giant waves ahead; Pocket and Tyranitar's family of three began building a thick stone wall on the shore to withstand the constant erosion of the seawater.

Seeing this, Serena also sent out Diancie to unleash a Rock-type move. Lapras, which was already with Ash, simultaneously exhaled an extremely cold aura, quickly reinforcing the defenses on the shore.

"No... this won't stop it at all!" However, Ash quickly realized that this was no way to stop the raging tsunami, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and send out more of his friends.

"Alakazam, Latias, you two go with Serena to evacuate the people! Mewtwo, Silver, Solgaleo, help hold them off!"

Ash can hardly use his psychic powers now, so his support for Alakazam is greatly reduced. Rather than letting it fight here, it's better to use its mobility to save more people.

The approaching tsunami was then handled by Ash's legendary companions. Although they were also not fully recovered, they held their ground and prevented the waves from easily breaching the tsunami.

And among them is Silver, whose current size is only slightly smaller than a normal Lugia, and its strength is already quite remarkable. It can even forcibly control a portion of the waves away from the shore.

In addition, Ash used the Ring to call Blastoise back, and the Water-type power within its body could also alleviate some of the pressure.

"Hoo... Greninja, keep getting stronger!!" In order to buy as much time as possible, Ash even made Greninja unleash its Bond Phenomenon and unleash the full power of Poseidon without any regard for the consequences!

"Clang... Crack!!" The giant water shuriken was thrown with all its might by Greninja, splitting a huge gap in the sea wall and barely managing to stop the onslaught of the waves.

The consequence was that Ash's Poseidon power went from being depleted to being completely depleted!

But he couldn't care less about that now. He was already here; how could he let the disaster rage on?!

In response to this sudden disaster, everyone put in their best efforts, and after a fierce struggle, they were finally pleasantly surprised to see the waves recede.

"Finally, we made it through..." Xiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, while rubbing his slightly blurry eyes.

Encountering such a situation twice in half a month was something even he found difficult to handle.

"Ash, you really came?!" At that moment, a joyful shout came from behind.

Xiao Zhi turned around and saw that he was being helped by one of his female apprentices, limping towards them.

He looked extremely disheveled, soaking wet as if he had just been pulled out of the water, and had a bleeding wound on his forehead from where he had hit it.

His Pokémon were in equally bad shape; Machamp was shivering, with several flood control sandbags scattered around him; and Mega Kingmax was lying on its back on the beach, completely exhausted with its eyes rolled back.

"I almost couldn't hold on, thank goodness you came in time," Teng Shu said gratefully, still shaken.

"What exactly happened?" Xiao Zhi asked anxiously.

“I don’t know…” Fujiki shook his head in confusion. “It was calm at first. I was surfing in the sea because the weather was nice… but then a wave crashed onto the shore and I even hit my head. When I got up, the tsunami suddenly hit. My signal was interfered with, and I was only able to contact you with great difficulty.”

Teng Shu's explanation sounded easy, but just over ten minutes ago, he was truly on the verge of despair.

The situation at sea suddenly changed, and after being injured, he couldn't get through to any of the emergency contact numbers within Hoenn. He watched as a massive tsunami threatened to engulf the entire island...

Fortunately, he managed to contact Ash at the critical moment, and Ash truly kept his word and came to fight the tsunami.

"Cheer up, the disaster isn't over yet!" Ash pointed seriously into the distance as the second wave of the tsunami crashed in!

Fortunately, this attack was much weaker than the last one, and although everyone had to expend a lot of effort, they managed to survive without serious injury.

This also led Ash to discover that the anomaly in the sea seemed to be moving away from Dew Island.

"Ash... did Kyogre make it?" Fujiki asked tentatively.
