Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Has Ash evolved again?

Now you can guess without even saying a word!

"Roar!"

Upon hearing this, even Dragonite became somewhat anxious.

It clearly sensed the scent, but every time it followed the smell, it felt like it was being tricked and couldn't find anything.

It circled around the area for several days, but no one knew what that Pokémon was trying to do.

"Oh, I see... That's quite troublesome."

Dragonite raised its head and then barked a few times at Lance.

Look at Xiaozhi, he understands me so well—and look at yourself!

Lance glanced at Dragonite expressionlessly, and Dragonite glared back without fear.

The man and the dragon stared at each other for three seconds before Wataru finally looked away.

He bent down and straightened the collar of his cloak.

"So, is there a plan?"

The transition was extremely abrupt.

Xiaoxia paused for a moment, then tentatively said...

"Um...should we help investigate too? About that Pokémon?"

"Xiao Zhi is alright, but we're afraid we can't be of much help."

Xiao Gang also replied.

He has an extremely clear understanding of his own abilities.

If they were to face a Pokémon that could only cause such a commotion in the gym, rushing in would only be a hindrance, and might even distract the two of them from protecting it.

Lance looked at Ash.

"The guy asked what's been going on with us these past few days, not whether we need help investigating the case."

Xiao Zhi offered an explanation.

"Okay, let's eat first, then rest for the night."

Xiaoxia glanced at Xiaozhi again.

"Then let's see if we can challenge the gym?"

"Ah."

Du nodded.

"Don't go, I'll come find you in a couple of days."

Zheng Hui... should be getting impatient by now.

After tireless efforts, Zheng Hui finally extracted crucial data from the mutated, giant venomous jellyfish.

The analysis results surprised everyone.

The tattoo located in the hidden part of the stinging jellyfish was not the result of natural evolution or random mutation, but rather the work of an ancient civilization.

In other words, this is no longer a simple Pokémon mutation event, but an abnormal evolution caused by human intervention and deliberate interference with the Pokémon's physiological structure.

This means that if we can trace the true origin of these patterns, we may not only be able to unravel the mystery of Dynamax, but we may even be able to develop a "Gigantamax" power that belongs to the Kanto region.

Zheng Hui invested a lot of money in this project and finally identified an ancient site with similar patterns that the clues pointed to.

However, as a researcher, his combat ability was almost zero, and since that ruin could nurture such terrifying stinging jellyfish, who knows what other dangers were lurking nearby.

Therefore, he needs a bodyguard.

Therefore, Watari became the most suitable candidate.

The strongest trainer in the Kanto region, the leader of the Elite Four, still owes him a considerable favor.

In terms of both ability and skill, there is no one more suitable than Watari.

The problem is that Lance thinks he's not very good at talking, and Dragonite is throwing a tantrum.

But now that he's seen Ash, none of that matters anymore!

A top-notch translator at your fingertips!

He doesn't even know how he could have lost!

207. Such a powerful person!

Wataru looked at Ash with anticipation.

Despite such pressure, Xiao Zhi managed to glean something from Lance's perpetually icy expression.

To be honest, apart from the fact that "Brother Du seems to need my help," he didn't understand anything else.

After all, you're sending so much information in just eight characters; even a compressed file wouldn't be compressed like this!

However, there is one thing that Xiaozhi is certain of—that is, Brother Du would never betray him.

"Although I didn't quite understand..."

Ash scratched his head and glanced at Lance again.

"...But it's okay!"

He straightened his chest and patted it.

"Anyway, we should be in Changqing City for the next few days. Just let me know when you need us! We'll be there anytime!"

"Pikachu!" "Yeah." "That's right."

Seeing the three of them like this, Du was slightly taken aback, and a pixel appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"it is good."

He nodded and then waved to the Dragonite.

Seeing this, Dragonite reluctantly went over.

Before leaving, he even made a gesture towards Xiaozhi.

The gist is that it will connect with the Pokédex later, and it will take some time to give Ash a proper explanation.

After all, Lance is Lance and Ash is Ash. We can't let Ash get hurt because of Lance.

Dragonite is, after all, a dragon that knows what it's doing! The kind that's famous in the league!

With a flap of its wings, a whirlwind was stirred up, and the fast dragon carrying the dragon soared into the sky.

They continued their search for Mewtwo.

The red cloak fluttered in the twilight, quickly becoming a tiny dot on the horizon.

Ash and his friends watched the dragon's shadow disappear into the distance, and their stomachs rumbled at just the right moment.

"Let's go, let's eat first!"

With a wave of her hand, the two people and the mouse followed Xiaoxia into a nearby restaurant that looked pretty good.

After a hot dinner, even Pikachu rubbed its round belly and yawned contentedly.

After explaining the situation to Hanako, the three of them stayed overnight at the Pokémon Center.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window, and Xiao Zhi opened his eyes, feeling completely relaxed.

This is what a true newcomer is like.

When your hunger level is full, your health will continuously recover.

After a quick wash, I ran to an open space to start my morning exercise.

Push-ups, squats, and then a few more rounds of training with Pikachu.

"Alright, I'm full of energy today! Let's go, Pikachu!"

"Pickup!"

In the days that followed, Xiao Zhi began a monotonous life of going back and forth between three points.

Eating, exercising, and looking for Sakaki.

That's right, look for Sakaki.

Since Giovanni said he would repair the Viridian Gym and then accept the challenge, Ash has been going there almost every day to "check on the progress".

Giovanni, who originally just wanted to find an excuse to get rid of this being who was said to be able to fight Mewtwo to a standstill, was also having a bit of a headache.

After all, this kid keeps popping up all the time.

Without warning, he appeared outside the fence of the dojo ruins, shouted "Brother Sakaki, I'm here again!" and ran in excitedly.

This way, he was confined to repairing the gym, leaving him no time to deal with Team Rocket's administrative affairs.

At first, Giovanni wanted to finish the fight quickly and get rid of this big shot as soon as possible.

But Ash is a stubborn person; if he says you have to repair it before you battle, then you have to repair it before you battle.

Otherwise, with so many people coming to challenge him... wouldn't it make it seem like Ash is trying to get special treatment?

That won't work!

Xiao Zhi is involved here.

Meanwhile, the people Giovanni sent out to find Mewtwo were also having a tough time.

Mewtwo seems to be deliberately toying with them.

They would occasionally appear, leading the tracking team to run, and then suddenly disappear around a corner, leaving them completely bewildered.

That would have been bad enough, but what's worse is that Mewtwo not only lured them, but also Lance the Dragon.

Team Rocket on one side, investigators on the other; when they meet, it's an immediate charge.

Although it's often jokingly said that Dragon Flying is just a charm for its Dragonite.
