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

Although she herself is a champion-level trainer, she has no concept of the responsibilities of a champion. The chief champion she usually respects the most is also a champion who is decisive and efficient within the league, has strong battle skills, and is good at discovering talent.

This is due to the overall atmosphere of the Padiya region, which has been peaceful for hundreds of years. There are hardly any supervillains who want to destroy the world, let alone poachers.

However, after leaving the large ivory tower of Padia, Nemo saw a completely different sky.

Especially during the time she traveled with Ash, Nemo was amazed by the adoration Ash received in Kanto and learned the reason for it... He took the entire Kanto as his responsibility and always carried it on his shoulders!

This version of Ash undoubtedly fulfills Nemo's entire longing for a hero in peacetime.

"It will go down in history..." Ash chuckled, his expression growing increasingly confident. "Don't worry, I won't let this honor slip by!"

After saying goodbye to the girl, Ash turned around gracefully and raised his arm towards the vast sea.

"Set off!!"

boom!

All the engines roared to life at the same time, and a thousand sails raced across the Binu coast!

Target: the Seven Islands!

"Serena, let's go too." Seeing that the fleet had already sailed into the distance, Ash summoned his Dragonite and rode Serena on its back.

Since this was a public entry into the Seven Islands, Ash didn't gather his friends and family together. Instead, he dispersed them into different teams to work with the Elite Four members to conquer the various islands.

The Pokémon he caught had already been distributed among different partners before the trip.

Ash himself teamed up with Serena, working with the magician Isshu to conquer the first island...

Of course this is only on the surface.

When they flew over a vast, remote stretch of sea, Ash stopped Dragonite and handed Pikachu from his shoulder to Serena.

"Serena, it's up to you and Mew now... Be careful no matter what!" Ash said with a serious and worried expression.

Although he was determined to launch a full-scale attack, Ash didn't want the enemy to know too much about his true strength. Therefore, he decided to have Mew impersonate him while he moved alone, hoping to catch the enemy off guard!

Serena volunteered to help Mew precisely to support Ash.

"Don't worry, with Dreamy here, and Mr. Tree and the others, there won't be any problems," the girl reassured with a light laugh.

"I will protect her... I swear!" Mew quickly made a promise, and at the same time transformed into Ash's appearance, perfectly mimicking him in both expression and tone.

"That's good. In short, I'm leaving everything to you two!" After giving the two final instructions, Ash leaped off the dragon's back and let himself fall into the turbulent sea.

Lugia had been waiting underwater for a long time. As soon as Ash entered the sea, it rushed forward to catch him and carried him at high speed across the seabed.

The power of Poseidon quietly activated, and Ash felt as if he were home, with the entire ocean feeling exceptionally welcoming.

The hidden sea temple was quickly drifted over by the ocean currents, and the Pokémon in the ocean followed behind, constantly restoring his strength. They greeted him cheerfully and told him about their recent experiences in detail.

There have indeed been some unusual movements in the waters around the Seven Islands recently... and the location where the movements first occurred seems to be far to the south!

...

"What the heck...we're too late again?"

At this moment, on the coast of Binu, the Alliance's army had long since gone far away, and the people who had come to see them off had also dispersed. Only two and a half girls who had come from afar but arrived a step too late remained on the shore, silently questioning the heavens.

The reason there are two and a half is that one of them is an unconventional white-haired girl, another is a successful and innocent girl with twin ponytails and a bun hairstyle, and the last one is a black-haired loli fox who can speak human language through telepathy...

The three flew from Unova to Saffron City, and after learning at the airport that Kanto was about to launch an operation against the Seven Isles, they rushed to Vinu... but in the end, they still missed it.

"Miss Homiga, what should we do now?" the girl with twin ponytails asked timidly.

"Let me call Xiaozhi first..."

"But wouldn't that give us away?" the little fox retorted eagerly. "Didn't I say I wanted to give Ash a surprise..."

"There's no time for any surprises right now!" the white-haired girl retorted, baring her teeth, and immediately dialed Ash's number...

Then, to my dismay, I discovered that Ash was out of service.

It's quite a coincidence that just a few minutes earlier, Ash jumped into the sea...

Chapter 1056 A Heartbreaking Situation…

Forcibly suppressing the urge to utter a string of "baka"s, the white-haired girl twitched her lips and put down her phone.

If you had to sum up Homiga's recent life in one word, it would probably be 'terrible'.

She was living a good life, doing gym battles, performing with the band, and chatting on the phone with Ash in her spare time, making harmless jokes and looking forward to when he would come to Unova again.

But after she impulsively answered Mei's phone call, that leisurely life was gone forever.

The story begins with Mei's graduation. The twin-tailed girl left the Trainer Academy, picked up Snivy as her starter Pokémon at the research lab, and embarked on a journey full of high spirits.

Everything was going smoothly until she encountered a robber while passing through Raven City…

Moreover, she recognized the robber; it was none other than the little fox that Ash had brought along when he led the group!

According to Zorua, after living in the Enchanted Forest for a while, MA's mood gradually calmed down, and it also understood Zorua's thoughts and agreed to let it go to find that human.

So, Zoroya started secretly heading to the neighboring city of Raven.

Its initial plan was to use illusions to transform into a human, then infiltrate Raven Gym to find out information from the gym leader.

After all, it had heard that the other person was a somewhat famous beauty among humans... and beautiful women, well, they usually have some connection with Ash.

The plan was originally quite good, but Zoroah underestimated the Electric-type gym's mechanism. No matter how many times he rode the roller coaster, he felt dizzy and couldn't stand it. He was also almost exposed to illusions, so he had to give up in the end.

Just as Zoroa was wondering what to do, Mei arrived in Raven City!

Suddenly bumping into an acquaintance on the street, Zoroah was overjoyed. He immediately blocked the other person's path like a robber, and after a forced reminiscing session, he begged Mei to take him to find Ash...

P.S. This is definitely not because Mei is honest and easy to bully; Zoroya simply thinks she's a good girl.

"Little Sprout, Little Sprout, please take me with you~ At most, after we find Xiao Zhi, I'll have him reimburse your travel expenses... If he refuses to reimburse you, I'll make him pay you back himself~"

After a series of unreasonable arguments, Mei was successfully won over and then called Homiga.

This is necessary. Although the girl with twin tails idolizes Ash, she is not familiar with him and dares not take the initiative to contact him. Of course, she wouldn't know where to look for him.

Then, Homiga was dragged into it.

The white-haired girl knew Ash's whereabouts and really wanted to use this as an excuse to go to Kanto and play with him... But Mei was a bit stubborn in this regard, and her phrase "I've been asked to do this, so I must do it" successfully made Homiga pay for an extra plane ticket~

But Homiga paid a price that didn't stop there. In order to keep Zoroa's secret and give Ash a surprise, she also reduced the number of times she contacted Ash.

This deliberate act of mystery is clearly a form of torment for her as well.

She tried calling Xiaozhi, but the number was out of service. If she hadn't known beforehand about the major operation in Kanto, she might have even thought that Xiaozhi had blocked her in a fit of anger because he had been ignored for too long...

In short, Homiga felt very troubled because he couldn't get to Bino in time and couldn't contact Ash for the time being.

As one of the official owners of the United Federation of Museums, Homiga knew very well that outsiders were the most taboo subject to interference in such large-scale events.

In particular, in addition to Ash, Kanto also dispatched the Champion, all the Elite Four members, and a large number of elite trainers, so you can imagine how dangerous the Seven Islands are!

Rushing in like this is hardly a wise move...

That's the logic, but if Homiga just thinks that way, it's really useless.

"Miss Homiga, why don't we chase after them?" Mei blinked her big eyes and persuaded him, "Little Zoe really wants to see Mr. Ash, and if you join us, you can definitely help him too."

"Heh." Homiga rolled her eyes in disdain.

They make it sound like they're making a lot of sense, but aren't they just completely fooled by the little fox?

I'm not like this girl; don't think she can just give in to my charm and cuteness...

"Homiga, please take us with you... Don't you want to see me right away?"

The tone of the voice suddenly changed, and Homika subconsciously looked up, only to find the little fox standing on someone's face, blinking its big, watery eyes at her.

Seeing the other person's eager yet deliberately cute expression, even the usually carefree white-haired girl couldn't help but blush.

then…

"Ouch! Homika, why did you step on me?!"

The little fox was hit hard on the instep by the sole of the shoe, and immediately jumped up in pain, forced to reveal its true form.

"Don't you dare transform into his likeness, or I won't take you with me anymore!" Homiga threatened, bristling with anger.

However, their insincere behavior made the other two, one adult and one child, realize what was going on, and they immediately started analyzing the travel plans one after another.

"It seems that Xiao Zhi has been gone for a long time. We must hurry up."

"But there are no ships around here... and even if there were, it would be impossible for them to sail into the Seven Islands at this time."

"So there's only..." *2

The plan, involving one adult and one child, was finalized, and they eagerly turned their attention to Homiga.

"Fine, fine, okay, we'll fly, alright?" Homiga pounded his chest a few times, utterly dejected, and reluctantly pulled out an Ultra Ball...

"Come out, Jawless Needle Dragon!"

The ultimate beast, with its enormous size and ability to fly, is undoubtedly the best vehicle for crossing the sea.

Fortunately, Homiga had been carefully nurturing the Poison Baby that Ash gave them, and finally managed to evolve it successfully recently; otherwise, they would be completely lost today.

The two humans and the fox mounted the dragon's back at the same time, and the venomous dragon spread its huge wings and flew over the sea. Surely there wouldn't be any more problems this time...

"Help! I'm so dizzy! Miss Homiga, slow down!!" *2
