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

"Could it be there..." Ash had a vague guess.

The beam of light will most likely land at Xinqi Lake!

"Alright, let's go investigate." Ash made a quick decision after cracking his knuckles.

The three gods of the lake are bound to clash sooner or later, so let's just do it now!

Chapter 1104 Heading to Xinqi Lake

"King of the Highlands, please hand over the Source of Superpowers to me, may I?"

On the high hill of the antler deer, Ash was commanding a group of proud and fierce soldiers to surround the antler deer, one of the Ten Kings.

Although he used the words of negotiation, the threatening tone made the horned deer understand that it had no right to refuse.

"Ugh..." The horned deer was covered in cold sweat, its usual calm demeanor completely gone.

The human in front of it gave it a sense of unfathomable mystery, and with Tyranitar and Kangaskhan beside it that looked like monsters, it knew it couldn't possibly win a fight.

There was absolutely no chance of escaping; that Pikachu's speed even surpassed that of the Cave King Electrode, and it was as fast as real lightning!

It wouldn't even take a second for the other party to catch up with me again!

In addition, there's that one...

The stag glanced at the Megalomon that had been relentlessly pursuing them for days, and only then did it realize that this intruder was in cahoots with these people!

Moreover, with the help of that human, Platinum Cross has advanced to an even more ferocious form. Even with the power of the Super Energy Source, I am no match for it in a one-on-one fight.

"Woo~" Finally, the antlers of the Fiery Deer dimmed, and after some deliberation, it respectfully offered the source of psychic energy to Ash.

“Very good, King of the Highlands, you are very pragmatic.” Xiao Zhi nodded in satisfaction. “In this conflict, protecting yourself is the most correct choice for you.”

"Woo...woo!" The stag struggled and struggled, and seeing that Ash was about to leave, it finally called out to him from behind.

(Powerful human, I have a request... Although that human girl is a chosen hero, she is also just a lost innocent... Regardless of the outcome of this conflict, could you please try your best not to harm her...)

"Heh, that's an interesting request." Xiao Zhi couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed this king was mistaking him for Wang Luo.

That makes sense, isn't the path I'm taking the villain's route?

"King of the Highlands, there's something you've misunderstood..." After a long silence, Ash finally spoke in a deep voice, "I care more about her safety than anyone else in this era, and I would never harm her in the slightest! Moreover, I'm different from you guys who only know how to follow divine decrees. You don't dare to defy the Great Lord Sinnoh... but I do!!"

"Huh?!" The horned deer was startled.

It then realized it had mistaken someone for someone else; the human before it was not a villain, but a blasphemer who had intruded!

...

"You've been eyeing this for a long time, haven't you? Keep it safe~" After leaving the Deer Hill, Ash casually tossed out the Psychic Source he had just obtained. The Platinum Cross, which had been holding back for a long time, immediately flew out and began to absorb it.

The reason it has been waiting in Wangchang for so long is because of this item!

hum!

As the violent psychic waves swept outwards, a peerless, shimmering Metagross was finally born!

The Metagross looks unchanged now, but it continues to radiate strange energy, occasionally causing a slight spatial distortion.

Its eyes flashed with many data-like patterns, as if it were constantly calculating and could analyze everything about its opponent at a glance.

The Metagross, having absorbed the source of super energy, doesn't resemble a wondrous, fantastical mage; rather, it's more like a highly sophisticated machine.

Apart from Ash and other companions it has identified, everything else is under its control!

"Excellent! When we get to Lake Heartbeat, you'll be the main force to deal with the Lake Gods!" Ash was extremely satisfied after confirming the effect of Metagross absorbing the Psychic Source.

The immense superpowers of Metagross complement its supercomputing abilities perfectly, and the combination of these two strengths is enough to leave a considerable number of legendary and mythical beasts behind.

Moreover, thanks to this power, Metagross can maintain absolute rationality in battle, which allows it to ignore certain special mind control effects, just like the three legendary Titans.

Therefore, Emlido is doomed this time.

Even if it calls the other two mushrooms to Heart Lake, Ash will still attack them without hesitation!

...

Xinqi Lake.

This place is located on the western side of Obsidian Plains, and is also the westernmost part of the entire Xicui.

It is said that it used to be a volcanic depression, and due to the accumulation of water over the years, it gradually became one of the four famous freshwater lakes in the Xicui area.

When Ash arrived, a torrential downpour suddenly began.

The once calm lake surface was constantly rippling from the impact of raindrops, and a low hill seemed to be visible in the center of the lake, partially obscured by the thick curtain of rain.

That is the entrance to Xinqi Lake Cave, but in fact the cave does not exist, and there is no passage behind the sealed stone wall.

The three lake gods live in the lake, but they actually reside in a different dimension at the bottom of the lake. They are not Pokémon that can be seen simply by diving.

In the Alpaca Legend game, Xiao Zhao opened the passage using Arceus's phone... Xiao Zhi's phone can't do that, and besides, it's broken.

However, other methods are also possible.

In the anime, Team Galactic once used a super-powerful Galactic Bomb to blast open the space wall at the bottom of the lake.

Ash's current companions are not few who possess similar powers.

"Metamorphose, go show us what you've got... Mega Evolution!" "Metal!"

A dazzling light shone as Metagross underwent its first Mega Evolution after absorbing the Source of Power, unleashing power that could only be described as explosive.

The Megalomon slowly floated to the front of the stone wall. Its eyes turned red as it began to scan carefully, and it quickly discovered the imperfections in the space in front of it.

"Metal!!" Four powerful steel claws suddenly stabbed at a certain spot in front of him, tearing outwards with force as they unleashed their superpowers!

Wow!

As Metagross exerted its power, the space in front of it twisted and a passage was forcibly opened without damaging the stone wall at all!

"Well done!" Xiao Zhi praised, but his expression gradually turned cold. "The mission has changed... After entering the Heart Lake Cave, I need to prioritize rescuing my companions!"

Ash didn't know what to say at that moment. Perhaps he and Mesprit were just born to clash.

He had only found this place because he was guided by the Gears of Time... but after opening the cave entrance, he sensed his companion's aura!

Several companions scattered near Xinqi Lake, unable to find themselves together or find a suitable place to recuperate, instead mysteriously appeared in the subspace within Xinqi Lake…

Should Ash believe that Mesprit meant well?!

Following the dark passageway downwards, Ash quickly arrived at the deepest part of the cave—Mesprit's residence.

When the protagonist reaches this point in the Alpaca Chronicles, he needs to defeat the gatekeeper before he can meet the God of Emotions.

Ash is now also being blocked by the 'bosses'... and there are two of them!

"Sticky...sticky!" "Ugh!!"

A snail-dragon named Xicui Nianmei'er, who carries a metal shell on its back, is blind and can only rely on other senses to perceive things!

Latias, the Red City whose entire body is streamlined and whose appearance can be altered by refracting light with its feathers!

And, deep inside the cave, Ash also sensed an extremely faint aura... the Rotom he had been searching for all this time!

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to pick you up..." Ash said softly to his companions who were covered in red light.

"Roar!!"

Nymph and Latias roared in unison, and a double dragon pulse surged forth!

Chapter 1105 The Three Gods of the Lake: Broken Wings, Pulled Teeth, and Severed Claws!

“Metal!”

Seeing the two energy attacks coming, Metagross immediately used Psychic to deflect Ash.

However, a hint of difficulty flashed in its eyes.

The two opposite him were his companions, and Latias was especially significant to Ash. Both Latias and Ash himself were inevitably constrained.

"Just try to control them, I will personally awaken them... and rescue another companion!" Ash walked forward with a calm expression, unmoved even by the angry glares of his former companions and the flying energy ahead!

hum!

Metagross deflected all the attacks that came its way, and Ash had already activated his super-advantage, opening his heart to his friends without any reservations!

(Latias, Nume...it's me, I've come to pick you up.)

(Don't be afraid or anxious. Your minds are just temporarily blocked. I will help you unblock them soon.)

(And Rotom... just hang in there, Pikachu and I are on our way, just a little longer~)

"Sticky...", "Ugh..."

The effect of telepathy was undeniable. Nianmeier and Shuidu Sister soon looked confused. Although they still couldn't control their movements, they became increasingly hesitant with each attack.

However, the creature lurking in the shadows wouldn't let Ash break free so easily. Seeing the two controlled Pokémon begin to resist, it immediately increased the binding force, making their attacks fierce again.

At the same time, it secretly notified its two accomplices, who would launch a joint attack as soon as Xiao Zhi made a mistake!

Unfortunately, it didn't know that the little guy it had sealed deep inside the cave had quietly opened his eyes after Ash's repeated mental calls!

"Rotom, and the Gear of Time, just as I thought..." Soon, Ash, using Metagross as cover, arrived at the other end of the cave.
