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

But then he made an unexpected discovery... Guarna was hugging a man.

The other person seems to be a team manager as well, but from the neighboring King Kong team. I think his name is Amang or something.

“Yours…!” Guana blurted out instinctively, but then suddenly remembered her condition and jumped up from the ground in shock.

After an awkward silence for a while, she and Amang finally managed to return to normal... while pretending to be complete strangers.

The Pearl Team and the Kongo Team have conflicting ideologies; Pearl Shell and Kongo Team's leader, Kongo Stone, always clash whenever they meet.

"Ash, you said these are your... Pokémon?" Guana asked incredulously. "How come they're so huge?"

"Each Pokémon has a different constitution, and they usually eat well," Ash replied casually.

"His physique is even better than the King's. What does he eat to get this kind of physique... uh." Amang couldn't help but interject, but after catching a glimpse of Ash's slightly amused expression, he lowered his head and retreated.

Ash is now wearing Team Pearl's uniform, and in Amang's opinion, he's been caught red-handed...

"Let's get down to business. What does Miss Guana need me to do?" Ash asked directly.

“This…” Guana was a little conflicted. After this incident, it was actually harder for her to make her request.

"Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped," Ash quickly assured him. "You didn't even tell Clam, so I'll definitely keep it a secret too... Besides, even though I'm wearing this outfit, I'm not an official member of Team Pearl."

“Okay…” Guana finally dispelled her doubts. “Actually, I wanted to ask you for help on behalf of Armand. He’s been having some problems lately.”

"Ah...yes!" Seeing Guana's encouraging look, Amang quickly stepped forward to explain, "There seems to be something strange about the Fire Island on the other side. I really want to go and investigate, but no matter how I play the Divine Harmony Flute, the Dark Tail Fish refuses to show itself."

The Ghost Tail Black Fish was the king that Amang was responsible for taking care of, and it was also one of Xi Cui's mounts. It could be used to move on water, and most importantly, it could carry people to Blowfire Island—which later became the Battle Zone and Harsh Mountain.

Ash activated the power of Poseidon and sensed the situation, quickly figuring out the reason.

"Um... first, I want to apologize." Ash put his hands together in apology, "It was my Pokémon that made the Grimmsnarl afraid to come out."

“Yours…” “Pokémon?” Guarna and Amang were dumbfounded again.

But Ash had already run to the shore and was calling out loudly to the sea.

"Blastoise, Lapras, Gyarados, here I come!"

A loud sound echoed across the sea, and moments later, a storm raged along the coast of Queqing!

Chapter 1095 When the King of Rivers Meets the King of the Sea

The waves rippled gently, and when the large, adorable-looking dragon surfaced, Guana and Armand did not react in any particular way.

The seawater swirled into a whirlpool, and Blastoise made a graceful appearance riding the rapids, though it wasn't particularly sensational... It was a bit bulky, but still within an acceptable range.

But when the surging water jets burst forth and the enormous dragon head followed suit, menacingly appearing, Guana and Armand were so frightened that they huddled together again, while the two Growlithe dogs beside them cowered and buried their heads in the sand.

The Gyarados that suddenly appeared was so enormous that its ferocious dragon-like appearance, stirring up storms in the sea, made them afraid to look directly at it.

Gyarados also exists in the Greenland region. Guana and Amang had seen them before, but even the boss-level ferocious ones are only about ten meters long at most.

However, the one in front of us, even just the portion visible above the water, is more than this length…

"Don't be nervous, they are indeed my Pokémon." Ash explained, greeting the three Pokémon and asking them to behave as kindly as possible.

Seeing this, Armand and Guarna reluctantly accepted the truth amidst their shock.

Guana was also surprised to discover that Ash was really good at raising large Pokémon, not only the two previous land-based giants, but also the now obviously oversized Giant Ferocious.

Furthermore, Zhubei had previously stated that his bird was even more magnificent than the King of the Sky…

Meanwhile, Ash was already questioning the three of them.

"You three were all here before, right? What's wrong with the Ghost Tail Fish? Why isn't it responding to the Farm Manager Amang's flute?"

Upon hearing this question, the three Pokémon exchanged glances, each displaying an expression of guilt mixed with indifference...

"I knew it had something to do with you guys!" Ash looked them over one by one, speechless, and finally asked tentatively, "Gyarados, you didn't cause this, did you?"

This is a reasonable suspicion. Gyarados is huge and particularly good at Dark-type bite moves, so it is undoubtedly the nemesis of that River King.

"Roar... Roar!" To everyone's surprise, Gyarados looked aggrieved, not only shaking its massive head like a pendulum, but also occasionally glancing at Blastoise out of the corner of its eye.

It didn't actually fight back; it was always the older water-type fighters who did it. At most, it just wagged its tail and barked... It probably used too much force back then and whipped out a powerful lash, but it really didn't do it on purpose.

"Woo~" Lapras said it could vouch for Gyarados, they really were just singing to cheer each other on... and Lapras really didn't use its singing special move, much less the Bubble Aria~

"You guys..." Xiao Zhi's lips twitched slightly; these two were really good at shifting the blame.

"Kame!" Blastoise first fired a cannonball into the sea, then crossed its arms indignantly.

It was the employers who did it, so what?

After the three of them fell into this sea area, the Dark Tail Fish immediately approached them, and then discovered the source of water within the Blastoise's body, and began to attack without saying a word.

Blastoise wasn't about to let it get away with it. It unleashed a barrage of water sprays and Dark Pulse, pinning the fish underwater and giving it a good beating. With Lapras and Gyarados also watching closely nearby, the Darktail quickly tucked its tail between its legs and ran away.

If they weren't newcomers who didn't want to cause trouble, and if they hadn't heard from other Water-type Pokémon that the other party was at least a king, Blastoise and the others would have definitely taught this guy a lesson.

The other party hasn't shown up since then, and Blastoise only discovered today that it was actually shaking its trainer... and shaking its own trainer!

What's wrong? Can't you handle this anymore?

"The source of the water system... I'll have to ask him properly then." Ash raised his hand and unleashed the power of Poseidon, causing waves to crash against the shore once more. "Ghosttail, come out and see me!"

Wow!

Within minutes of the summoning, a large fish several meters long leaped out of the seabed—the Ghost Tail Black Fish, known as the King of Rivers!

It did a double jump in the air, and after confirming Ash's identity, it immediately tried to get closer... but it found that the three terrifying guys were also there, so it could only slink back into the water and swim carefully from a great distance.

"Come here, they won't attack you anymore." Ash beckoned to the Grimmsnarl, and after hearing the assurance, the fish swam closer, swishing its tail.

This scene left Guana and Armand completely stunned.

They were astonished to discover that Ash could summon Grimtar without playing the Divine Flute... and Grimtar was genuinely terrified of those three Pokémon, which is why it dared not show itself and even refused to respond to Amang's flute!

"How could this be..." Amang seemed to lose his grip on the flute, a sense of loss welling up in his heart.

As the farm manager, he had painstakingly cared for the Ghostly Fish for who knows how long, only to find that a stranger was more effective than him…

“Mr. Armand, please don’t take it to heart. The Darktail still acknowledges you.” Ash seemed to sense the other’s thoughts and explained softly, “It’s just that my identity is rather special. If I issue a summon, any Pokémon in the water will come to meet me immediately, even the King.”

"A special identity... is it a wave guide user?" Guana wondered curiously.

"It's the King of the Sea~" Zoroia's voice came from behind the mask, startling Amang.

"The mask... spoke!!" Amang exclaimed, taking several steps back. Guana could only pull him along, trying to explain... but the more she explained, the more frightened she became.

"What did you say? He actually has a cursed fox on him, and it's a real ghost?! Ahhh!!"

Okay, Ash finally remembered... Amang's character is that he is terrified of Ghost Pokémon.

The reason why the Phantomhive exhibits this behavior can be considered to have been explained.

The human mind is the most powerful and invisible weapon. Spending a lot of time with Pokémon, even without catching them, can have a subtle influence on them.

Amang was timid by nature, and the River King, whom he had cared for for a long time, naturally ended up with increased speed and decreased attack power.

Of course, Ash wasn't particularly concerned about the king's personality or strength; he was only curious about what kind of information the Darktail could provide.

(You said you heard a divine revelation?)

(Yes, that was the voice of the Great Lord Sinnoh… He said that the hero will descend upon the land once more, and we, the Ten Kings, must lend him our power and the life force of mutual protection, to help him recreate his past glory.)

(Understood.)

Logically speaking, Grimmsnarl shouldn't have told Ash this information, because it was an absolute secret...

But who can blame him when Ash is the King of the Ocean?

The power of the Ten Kings of the Green was bestowed by Arceus, while the power that Ash possessed was spontaneously generated by the planet and bestowed by the planet's will.

The Ten Kings are also beings on the planet. Their bloodlines become thinner with each generation, but their recognition of the planet itself gradually increases... Moreover, the Dark Tail Fish doesn't know that Ash and Arceus are enemies.

Its line, "Help it to reproduce its past glory," made Xiao Zhi understand the true situation of the hero—that is, Xiao Zhao—in Xi Cui.

Once Wang Luo, as the villain, begins his conspiracy, things will definitely develop rapidly and quickly. Starting with the Mantis Slayer, kings in various regions will inevitably fall into a series of violent rages in a short period of time.

However, Xiao Zhao couldn't act like she did in the game, where she could simply stay calm when the king went berserk, level up a dozen levels, and then properly prepare her items...

If that were to happen, the battlefield where the king is located would likely turn into a bloody slaughterhouse.

Therefore, she had to act quickly!

She could only run around the land of Xicui, pacifying those raging kings one after another... while also taking care of all sorts of trivial tasks for the common people of Zhuqing, otherwise she would be suspected and looked down upon at any moment.

In this situation, she is destined to have few opportunities to train the Pokémon she has caught... To defeat the two gods of time and space, Wangluo and Giratina, she can only rely on the Ten Kings of the Green and some special legends.

The Ten Kings acted as her mounts and provided her with combat power, and even entrusted her with the life source they had been guarding, all so that she could quickly gain the power to fight the final boss.

However, these powers are ultimately given by others, and it would be easy to take them back.

The only power that truly belongs to Xiaozhao is the Pokémon she caught herself... such as the starter Pokémon she received from Team Galactic, and the Rockruff that was once stripped of its Ghost Source.

And these Pokémon can't do anything...

Chapter 1096 Fire Island, the 'Noble' Fire Steel

Xiao Zhao… or rather, Xiao Guang’s situation is so dire that Xiao Zhi certainly wouldn’t stand idly by.

He hasn't yet figured out the rules of the Time Gears within his body, so he doesn't dare to meet the other party rashly and can only keep probing indirectly.
