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

"I don't find it troublesome at all; I can go to sea whenever I want!"

"Woo~ woo!"

Amang and Youwei Xuanyu patted their chests and wagged their tails, their expressions of making promises were exactly the same.

“Then… I’ll leave things to Mr. Armand from now on.” Guana hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement.

Of course, she didn't want to be separated from Arcanine... Arcanine felt the same way.

Despite suddenly becoming the island king and receiving teachings from its father, it remains, deep down, the timid Growlithe.

It would rather live with Guana and the giant Kati Caribou than be all alone on Fire Island.

"Let's go then... What, Steelix, are you going to be our ride?" Ash was about to mount Lapras when Steelix volunteered, sticking its big head out to indicate that everyone could ride it and leave together...

Even Gyarados is no exception~

"Sure, I'll try it too." Since Iron Snake wanted to show off, Ash naturally agreed.

So everyone stood on the back of the giant steel snake, and with the hum of the electromagnetic levitation system starting up, the iron snake, which resembled a giant fortress, slowly rose into the air.

It carefully climbed to a height of several tens of meters before gradually turning to horizontal movement, carrying everyone towards the Qunqing coast.

That’s right, it’s floating.

Flying on the back of the Steel Serpent didn't give me any sense of speed or exhilaration... It's good enough that such a large body can even float; it's still better than being able to just hover close to the ground like before.

Even at extremely low altitude and speed, Xiao Zhi still found it very exciting.

A sixty-meter-long iron serpent floated in the air; it was practically an indestructible flying fortress, far more impressive than the pyramids of the Age of Gods.

Moreover, it is of great strategic significance. Although it cannot catch up with other air forces, it is a nightmare for fixed targets on the ground.

For things like strongholds and castles, as long as the Steelix floats up to them and then uses its electromagnetic levitation, it will immediately unleash a terrifying area-destroying bomb!

It can even disassemble its own body and drop it downwards, unleashing a rain of steel meteorites in no time!

"Wow, amazing... This Pokémon is just too amazing..." Amang couldn't help but hug his shoulders and mutter to himself, the shock that Steelix brought him was beyond words!

"Baku~" However, his sentiments clearly aroused Typhlosion's competitive spirit. Suddenly, it leaped off Steelix's back and was immediately enveloped in explosive flames, speeding away like a Thunderbolt!

In just a short while, it had already circled the giant steel snake several times.

"Kame?" Blastoise thought to itself, "Who are you trying to impress?" It also fired a water cannon downwards, propelling its body out of the barrel like a cannonball.

"Uh... what are they?" Guana stared blankly at Ash.

"It's okay, they're just getting competitive. Let them play by themselves," Ash waved his hand dismissively.

It's just the guys showing off their skills to each other; just treat it as a show, it won't hurt any feelings.

"Woo~", "Geng Geng~"

Lapras and Gengar also wanted to join in the fun, and simultaneously used Psychic to float in the air.

In the end, even the spirits of Pikachu and Zoroah showed the ability to fly, playing and frolicking around Ash.

"Isn't that incredible?" "They can all fly?"

Guana and Armand were completely stunned.

Aside from the Litten being held in his arms, all of Ash's other Pokémon can fly?!

Uh... no, not all of them, at least Gyarados can't fly.

"Roar..." A certain ferocious creature let out a frustrated growl and plunged into the sea below, the shockwave it generated nearly shoving the Dark Tail Black Fish, which hadn't boarded the vehicle, to the bottom of the sea.

Damn it, they're all so showy, huh... It's never playing with these bastards again!

"Oh dear, is this autism?" Ash was speechless.

However, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a Gyarados that could fly freely in Xicui.

It's somewhere near Obsidian Falls, and it's bizarrely circling above the falls, waiting for the protagonist to aim and throw the ball to capture it.

He specifically checked with Guana and Armand for this.

“There are indeed Gyarados that can fly high into the sky, but they are very rare. I saw one at Obsidian Falls before,” Amang said after thinking for a moment.

It seems I need to go and find out more about it.

Flying is Gyarados's last obsession, and it's also the key to relieving excessive pressure on its cervical spine. Ash definitely wants to help it achieve this.

After landing on the Azure Coast, Ash decided to immediately head to Obsidian Plains to explore... and also to get a head start on farming the King of the Highlands and the King of the Forest.

Before he left, Amang gave him a few Emerald Balls.

“Our team leader, Gemstone, isn’t as rigid as Shellder… well, anyway, we have no problem with catching Pokémon with Poké Balls, so here are a few for you.”

"Thank you very much." Xiao Zhi immediately accepted it gratefully, as it was exactly what he needed right now.

As teammates gradually gather, it becomes increasingly inconvenient to be without a ball.

Ash soon discovered that the ordinary Green Poké Balls were barely usable, and his partners would easily break them if they weren't careful.

Something like Steelix couldn't be loaded, so Ash had to leave it temporarily on the Azure Coast.

Looks like we'll have to get a batch of special Poké Balls. I wonder how skilled Professor Laben is...

"Oh, right, Miss Guana." Just as they were about to set off, Ash suddenly remembered something. "The Island King went berserk because of the lightning strike from the space-time rift. This is probably not an isolated case, and we must inform Shelley as soon as possible... If you see her, remember to make it clear to her that no one can interfere with the King's affairs. I must handle this personally!"

The raging king was far too dangerous, so Ash had to actively participate in the story to prevent Xiao Zhao from encountering any mishap.

After he made this decision, the gears of time within his body quietly began to turn.

...

"Ugh!" At this moment, at the headquarters of Team Galaxy in Zhuqing Village, the girl attending the meeting suddenly had her pupils dilate in shock!

'Main Quest 10: The Island Without a King - Failed to obtain the Ghostly Tail Fish's Water Movement! Failed to obtain the Water Slab! Failed to pacify the raging Island King! Failed to obtain the Fire Slab!'

'Main Quest 22: The Stone Tablet of Fire Island - Failed to obtain the Steel Stone Tablet!'

'Main Quest 26: Retrieve all the stone tablets; Ghost Stone Tablet acquisition failed!'

The series of red warnings on Arceus's phone left her utterly dumbfounded and completely baffled.

She's only on her sixth main mission so far, and all she's doing right now is having meetings in Ma Jiamu's office and listening to Gangshi and Zhubei arguing about the Mantis. She hasn't even gotten into the investigation phase yet.

What exactly happened with those later missions, and why did they fail so mysteriously...?

"No...no good!" The girl secretly checked her phone repeatedly, but was startled by the information she suddenly discovered.

"Xiao Zhao, what's wrong with you?" Ma Jiamu asked in an annoyed tone. "We were having an important discussion, why are you suddenly making such a racket?"

"Well... uh, has something happened on the Azure Coast?" The girl didn't have time to organize her thoughts, so she could only try to suggest directly, "There should be a king there too, and maybe he's gone berserk and needs to be calmed down..."

It's not just "should," it's "definitely"!

The girl was extremely anxious. She had misinterpreted the information on Arceus's phone and did not know that the so-called 'failure to pacify' actually meant that she had not been able to personally complete the pacification and therefore could not receive the reward for the pacification task.

In the girl's eyes, the island king must be going crazy right now!

Chapter 1101 Suspicion...and Trust!

Even though she herself had just transmigrated and was still in a state of uncertainty and fear, she still couldn't help but care about the people and things around her.

They were so eager to warn Ma Jiamu and the others that they didn't even know the consequences of failing the main mission.

Xiao Zhao is a very kind-hearted girl, but she doesn't realize that... in the face of rigid suspicion, no matter how good her intentions are, they will only be seen as having ulterior motives.

"Something's going to happen on the Qinghai Coast... and the king there's gone berserk?" Ma Jiamu's face grew suspicious as he stared at Xiao Zhao with the look of someone interrogating a criminal. "How do you know about this?"

"I..." The girl was speechless for a moment.

She then realized that she had no way of explaining it.

Are you suggesting we use information from a phone as evidence?

That would only increase suspicion and make things even more difficult to explain...

"What do you mean by not speaking? Or is it that the Forest King's rage has another hidden reason, and that it's related to you?!"

Ma Jiamu's suspicions were growing; in his view, Xiao Zhao was clearly guilty.

"I...I can't say for sure..." Xiao Zhao could only lower her head and try to stay calm, carefully hiding her phone in her pocket. "Anyway, like those time-space distortions, the king's rage is probably not an isolated case...The Forest King's matter needs to be resolved, and we must also pay close attention to the other kings and queens..."

"Such an explanation... is not enough to convince people!" Ma Jiamu appeared aggressive at this moment, clearly regarding Xiao Zhao as the suspect who triggered the king's rage!

If the girl cannot prove her innocence, he may have to take action...

"Spacetime distortion... Wait! I heard from Team Galactic that you fell out of the spacetime rift in Mount Tenguan?" At this moment, Zhubei suddenly asked, "How much of your memory have you retained? Do you remember who you used to be?"

"No... I don't quite remember." Xiao Zhao shook her head guiltily. "I only remember my own name... and then, I have a vague impression of Pokémon..."

She was very reluctant to lie, but being alone in such an unfamiliar era, she could only keep making up various excuses and lies.

Even the name 'Xiao Zhao' was made up on the spot when I first met Dr. Laben…

"That's true. If you encounter a spacetime distortion and don't have any special coping mechanisms, you may lose most of your memories."

Zhu Bei said she was very familiar with time distortion; including the small photo in front of her, she had already met three such people.

And since the first two were good people, this girl in front of me must be no different~

Deep forests, azure coastlines… Zhubei is starting to worry, fearing that something might really happen there!
