Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"Why does this stone look a bit like a megalith?"

Hakuryu, Mega Stone...

A bad feeling suddenly welled up in Kojiro's heart.

"Um..." He turned to look at Meow Meow and Musashi, "How about we retreat first?"

"Retreat? What retreat?!" Musashi waved his hand. "It's already tied up, what can it possibly do—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Musashi then heard a sound coming from the distant horizon.

It came from the very far horizon, initially just a faint whistling sound, as if something was tearing the air apart at an extremely fast speed.

But the sound grew louder and closer, and in just a few breaths it had turned into a deafening roar!

"What kind of cat is that?!"

Meow suddenly looked up, her pupils contracting sharply.

An orange dot of light appeared on the horizon, and it was rapidly growing larger—

No, those aren't points of light, they're—

"Run!!!"

Kojiro's voice even changed tone.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

A golden-white beam of light descended from the sky, carrying a world-destroying force, and struck the trio's position precisely!

boom--!!!

The enormous explosion echoed through the valley, and the shockwave kicked up dust and water vapor that filled the entire pool.

Three figures were thrown into the air by the shockwave, like kites with broken strings.

"Ugh—I hate this feeling!!!"

......

"Was that...an explosion?"

Xiaoxia suddenly stopped and looked up at the cloud of smoke rising in the distance.

A flash of golden-white light disappeared in an instant, followed by a muffled thunderous roar that made the ground beneath our feet tremble slightly.

She instinctively gripped the backpack straps tighter, suddenly feeling a little uneasy.

That commotion just now didn't seem like something an ordinary Pokémon could make.

The strength of the Pokémon in this area might be a little different from what she thought.

“Buri…”

Fatty, who was standing to the side dumbfounded, had the same thought.

They exchanged a glance.

But when the two looked at Ash, who remained calm, they suddenly felt relieved.

It's okay, even if the sky falls, there's always someone taller to hold it up!

"Ok?"

Xiao Zhi suddenly raised his head, glanced at the horizon, and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong, Ash?"

Xiao Gang noticed his unusual behavior and turned his head to ask.

"There was a sound just now..."

Ash tilted his ear, looking somewhat confused, as if trying to recall something.

"Does that sound familiar?"

He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head, seemingly unable to come up with any clues.

"Alright, let's hurry up and stop dawdling. The pool is just ahead."

After walking the last stretch of road, the entire pool finally came into view.

Sunlight shone on the calm water, creating a shimmering effect.

The surrounding trees were lush and green, and it was so quiet that you could hardly hear a sound.

Apart from……

"What is that...?"

Xiaoxia stopped in her tracks.

Beside the pond, a plump, orange-red Pokémon stood with its back to them.

A dragon was following beside it, nuzzling its head against it, as if it were being affectionate or seeking comfort.

The Gyarados that were leading the way perked up immediately when they saw the orange Pokémon.

The leading Gyarados flicked its tail.

In a single stride, it rushed to Xiaoxia, stretched its neck, and nudged towards the orange Pokémon.

Then he looked back at Xiaoxia, his expression incredibly vivid—

that's it!

that's it!

It's them that stole our territory!

Hurry up! Hurry up and get there!

Hey fatso, listen up! Our strongest fighter is here!

Don't you dare run away!

The lead Gyarados opened and closed its mouth, roaring incessantly, its tail slapping the ground with a loud cracking sound, looking as if it wanted nothing more than to rush up and fight for Misty.

The Gyarados behind them joined in the commotion, whipping their tails and baring their teeth.

Each of them took the phrase "having someone behind you" to the extreme.

Upon hearing this, the orange Pokémon paused, comforted the Dragonair, and slowly turned around.

Its cheeks were puffed out, its round eyes were narrowed into slits, and its anger was rising rapidly.

I already found it annoying to translate with Watari.

We finally gave him a break, and he wanted to come to this remote pond in Haklong to calm down and vent his anger.

As soon as they arrived, they encountered three clueless thieves who dared to target their Hakuron!

I just sent those three nasty bastards to heaven.

Now look what's happened, another fool dares to provoke us?

Do you really think Dragonite is a pushover with a good temper?

He gathered destructive energy in his mouth and slowly turned his head.

I think you're courting death...

"Brother?"

Looking at the dragon before him, Ash blinked and scratched his head.

Dragonite froze as it charged up.

"Ow?"

It was stunned, its big, round eyes filled with surprise.

Brothers?

It's you!

155. That Dragonite... had a tough time!

The Gyarados that had been stirring things up was now dumbfounded.

Completely bewildered.

It opened its mouth, revealing its jagged fangs, maintaining its defiant posture, as if the entire dragon had been paused.

It looked at Ash, then at Dragonite.

Then look at Xiaoxia, then at Kuailong.

The arrogance in those wide-open eyes gradually faded, replaced by a chill that emanated from the very core of their being.

broken.

The leading Gyarados shuddered, its massive body visibly trembling.

It felt like it had been set up!

"Roar?"

The minions behind the leading Gyarados also began to whisper among themselves.

His eyes darted back and forth between "the reinforcements they brought in" and "that Dragonite on the other side."

So... these humans are actually working for the other side?

It seems so... and they even look quite familiar...

Ash didn't notice the Gyarados's increasingly stiff expressions.

He rushed over to Dragonite, his eyes filled with the joy of reunion.

"It really is you! It's been so long!"

Snapped!
