Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

Even the other Poké Balls on Ash's waist swayed slightly, as if responding to the trainer's determination.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang exchanged a glance—they were filled with a desire to watch the drama unfold.

Although Natsume has some wicked tastes, she has no record of murder.

Simply put, people dislike Nazja because she's too strong.

Or rather than dislike, it's more like fear.

However, Sabrina herself is not the type to commit many evil deeds... she even uses her superpowers to protect the entire city.

Even if a divine beast attacks the city, Sabrina can hold it off for him.

Golden City has the highest level of security of all the cities.

There's a reason why this place has become the economic center of the entire Kanto region.

If you want to commit crimes here, then ask the Psychic-type Pokémon in this city if they agree.

Naz wouldn't concern herself with such trivial matters.

However, the Psychic-type Pokémon army and Psychic Trainers will take care of it.

...Of course, this also means that if any major problems arise, it will definitely be with Naz's tacit approval.

Anyway, as long as Ash doesn't stubbornly provoke Sabrina head-on, there shouldn't be any major problems... That's what Misty and Brock think.

"It's good that you can think positively~" Xiaoxia stood up. "Then get some rest. I'm leaving now."

The three of them actually each had their own room.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang actually came to check on Xiaozhi's emotional problems.

It seems to be stable so far, which is good.

"Let's rest for today." Brock also prepared to leave. "There's no need to rush to challenge the Saffron Gym."

There's still some time before the Quartz Conference.

No matter how you look at it, there's enough time.

Xiao Zhi nodded: "Okay, everyone get some rest."

After riding such a long way by bicycle, we were all really tired.

Shrimp catchers enjoy a moment of pleasure.

Catching shrimp is always fun.

But no matter what, they are still flesh and blood.

Cycling can be tiring.

Lying in bed, Ash took out his Pokédex and prepared to contact Team Rocket.

These three guys said they came to Golden City... I wonder if they've caused any trouble there?

In short, gather intelligence first.

Northeast corner of Golden City.

Deep within the Golden Dojo.

A meditation room completely isolated from light and sound.

This is also a place where no one can find it.

Because apart from teleportation, there is no way to walk in normally.

Naz was suspended in mid-air, sitting cross-legged in meditation.

She wore a dark purple bodysuit and a black mini skirt, which accentuated her perfect figure. Her long, dark green hair moved without wind, swaying slightly behind her.

Her eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes cast faint shadows on her pale, almost transparent cheeks.

The hustle and bustle of the entire city, and even the thoughts of countless living beings, all brushed past the edge of her vast and boundless spiritual ocean, yet could not disturb its core in the slightest.

She wasn't spying, she was feeling.

Like the ocean feeling the tides, like the sky feeling the wind and clouds.

In this realm woven from her spiritual power and enveloping the entire city, any overly intense emotional fluctuations are like pebbles thrown into a calm lake, naturally creating ripples that she can perceive.

This is the power of the world's strongest superpowered individual.

As Ash and his friends stepped onto the city's border, Misty and Brock's Pokémon, which were at the level of Gym Leaders, caught her attention like stars suddenly shining in the night sky.

There are too many weak beings to be perceived by her, but the powerful ones are still very obvious.

Naza opened her eyes, ending her meditation for the day.

Even though she was already the strongest superhuman in the world, she did not stop her training.

From childhood, Sabrina displayed extremely powerful superpowers.

Obsessed with her superpowers, Sabrina's personality becomes withdrawn and eccentric.

The stronger Sabrina becomes, the more fear others feel.

The more fear others have, the further they will distance themselves from Naz.

The more lonely Sabrina became, the more she trained, and the stronger she became.

Although it's a bit like exploiting a bug, with her left foot stepping on her right foot and spiraling upwards, Sabrina is indeed getting stronger and stronger.

In the end, only a select few powerful individuals were able to become her friends.

For example—Rainbow City's Rika, Carlos Region Champion Karuno, versus Castle Master Cattleya.

As for Ma Zhishi and Ah Ju, they can only be considered colleagues.

The reason for supporting Giovanni is simpler... because he lost.

In front of her, an exquisitely detailed golden miniature model of the city floated.

Skyscrapers, streets, the Silph Building, the Pokémon Center... even the passing vehicles and blurry figures are all vividly brought to life.

Above this model, a transparent shield, composed entirely of condensed superpowers and emitting a faint glow, resembles an inverted giant bowl, enveloping the entire city model.

This is the manifestation and control core of the superpower protective field that covers the entire Golden City in reality.

With this model, she can maintain this massive barrier, powerful enough to withstand attacks from legendary Pokémon at critical moments, with minimal energy expenditure.

Sabrina is skilled in technique, not brute force.

Her gaze fell on the three tiny points of light that had recently appeared on the model.

"Can it still be like this?"

Naz's voice echoed in the empty, secluded room... carrying with it all this confusion.

Generally speaking, Naz's goals are very clear because she can foresee the future.

But something unexpected happened today.

The light and shadow in the air distorted.

A little girl wearing a white dress and holding a ball appeared silently in front of her.

The little girl has features very similar to Naz's, but her eyes are more lively, and even have a strange feeling of cunning and innocence that doesn't match her appearance.

In short, it doesn't look human at first glance.

This is a part of Sabrina's personality that she actively cut off and sealed away during her childhood in order to resist loneliness and control her rampaging superpowers—Little Sabrina.

She is both Sabrina's past and an independent consciousness, often popping out and saying things that Sabrina's original self would never say.

Yes, Natsu has a dual personality.

"I know," Little Sabrina tilted her head and shook the ball in her hand.

"You 'saw' him? What will the future be like?" Little Sabrina asked curiously, her voice sounding very childish.

Naz's gaze remained fixed on the brightest spot of light, a faint ripple of light shimmering in her deep eyes.

She is using her superpowers to foresee the future once again.

"Vague."

Naz answered concisely.

"It's like looking through a layer of condensed glass; you can only see some distorted light and shadow and outlines."

"What I can capture is limited to some fragments from the past three years... and it's full of uncertainty."

This is extremely rare in Naz's precognitive experiences.

The fates of most people were clearly visible to her, like a drama performed according to a predetermined script.

Even for those so-called champions and superstars, their future trajectories are mostly predictable.

But this boy named Xiaozhi... his fate seems to be shrouded in a fog, constantly branching and recombinating, full of infinite possibilities.

This means that his (Ash's) future is more powerful than anyone can imagine.

The weaker a person is, the clearer their future appears in Naz's eyes.

The more powerful a person is, the more difficult it is for Naz to see their future.

Because the stronger a person is, the more choices they can make, and the more variables there are in the future.

So-called destiny is never fixed, but is constantly changing.

"Eh—can't even you see clearly?" Little Sabrina widened her eyes exaggeratedly, bounced around while holding the ball, and showed a mischievous smile on her face.

"But I 'felt' it!"

Little Nazha leaned closer to Nazha mysteriously, covering half her face with a ball and lowering her voice, as if sharing a huge secret.

"I sense... in a fragment of the future, you and him..."

Little Naz paused deliberately, looking at Naz's still expressionless, icy face, before continuing with a grin:

"...Let's take a bath together!"

"Right there, in that steaming open-air hot spring! You even helped him scrub his back!"

Little Naz: Although this is a bit reckless.

Little Naz: But the feeling of courting death is really fun.

This is something only Sabrina would dare to do.

No one else would dare to provoke Naz like that.

The superpower field that was normally flowing steadily in the sealed room was slightly stagnant because of these words.

On Natsume's perpetually icy face, her brows furrowed—this split personality was becoming increasingly absurd.

Sabrina: I think you need to be reset!

"Shut up."

Her voice remained calm, but the temperature in the sealed room seemed to drop several degrees suddenly.

Little Nazja seemed completely oblivious, instead smiling even more brightly, with a childlike candor:

"Are you shy, Naz?"

"I can tell that deep down... you actually quite enjoyed that scene!"

"After all... an old cow eating young grass..."

Little Naz just looks small.

Essentially, she is the same as Dazai.

It's just a difference in personality.

It could even be said that Naz put most of her humanity and playfulness into little Naz, resulting in little Naz's personality being quite arrogant.

Little Nazja spends all her time playing around.
