Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

Da Nazha meditates and practices meditation all day long.

Probably that's it.

"Die." Naz didn't even make a move.

An invisible yet incredibly powerful and terrifying psychic force erupted instantly, like an invisible giant hammer, slamming into the spot where Sabrina was standing.

"Ah—!" Little Sabrina let out a short cry of surprise, and her whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the cold metal wall of the meditation room.

It made a dull thud.

The ball flew out of her hand.

At the moment of impact, her body quickly stiffened and solidified, and her color faded.

Finally, with a soft "thud," it fell to the ground, transforming into a finely crafted doll with eyebrows and eyes exactly like Little Sabrina's, but whose eyes had completely lost their sparkle.

The sealed room fell silent once more.

Naza remained suspended in place, not even the hem of her clothes swaying.

She stared at the little girl, now a doll, on the ground, her eyes unwavering.

It's like having two thoughts in one's mind, and then one thought suppresses the other.

I want to steal something, but I don't want to steal anything...

Ultimately, my decision not to steal prevailed.

I tried to steal something but was rejected.

The restless and outspoken personality that resided within Sabrina from her childhood was sealed and suppressed once again.

It's like a good student constantly suppressing the bad child thoughts inside.

She was left alone in the meditation room, along with the ever-moving superpower shield above the city model.

Sabrina's gaze returned to the model, where the bright dot representing Ash had now moved to the Pokémon Center.

Her fingers tapped lightly in the air unconsciously, superpowers gathering at her fingertips and rippling outwards in tiny spatial ripples.

"……future……"

Naz whispered to herself again.

The fact that the ability to foresee the future had for the first time revealed such a large area of ​​ambiguity was enough to pique her interest.

Although Little Naz's words are absurd, her perceptions originate from fragments of her own subconscious.

To some extent, little Naz represents Naz's emotional instincts, the most direct aspect of her thoughts.

Da Naz is a rational person who suppresses her own emotions.

Big Nazja can lie and deceive, but Little Nazja can't.

Naz's lips curved into an almost imperceptible smile very slowly.

She wanted to laugh, but seemed unable to.

I've gotten used to having an expressionless face.

As an extremely powerful superpowered girl, after learning to foresee the future, she often uses this method to determine what she will encounter.

However, knowing the future also made her life devoid of anticipation and surprise.

Life feels like it's been spoiled.

I can't muster any interest in anything, which is quite disappointing.

It's like knowing you've done something before, but still doing it a second time.

Xiaozhi's unexpected variables brought new meaning and emotional fluctuations to her otherwise mundane life.

She was very curious about what kind of future this boy, who could make even the threads of fate blur, would have.

She waited with anticipation... like a patient collector waiting for a unique piece to walk into her showroom.

The meditation room fell into absolute silence once again.

Only above the city model, the invisible shield continued to slowly rotate, protecting this enormous city... and also imprisoning, or rather, containing, this lonely and powerful super-powered queen.

Meanwhile, Ash, far away at the Pokémon Center, inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

He looked around in confusion.

"Is it just my imagination..." Ash muttered to himself, suppressing the inexplicable unease in his heart and continuing to focus on the Pokédex in his hands.

I have received a reply from Meow Meow.

Meow: Although the plan was to launch an operation against the headquarters of the Silph Corporation, it was called off~ Meow~

Chapter 129 Oh no! Ash has been kidnapped!

The next morning.

The sunlight tried to dispel the invisible heaviness in the sky above Golden City, but to no avail.

The protective shield in the sky exists between existence and non-existence.

When not activated, there is no actual physical collision volume, and no collision effect will occur.

Once activated, it will substantially cover the entire city.

"Gulp..." One of the trainers swallowed hard.

But I still mustered up the courage to enter the Saffron Gym.

Surprisingly few people challenged the Goldenrod Gym; it was quite deserted.

That makes sense, after all, not that many people would be so foolish as to choose the most difficult option.

And behind this trainer.

Ash, Misty, and Brock stood there, looking at the enormous, futuristic building in front of them.

The entire structure appears to be cast from a single piece of gray metal, and it is also the world's largest training base for superpowered individuals.

In fact, the Saffron Gym dedicates 90% of its functions to training superpowered individuals rather than testing challengers.

Perhaps because of her loneliness since childhood... Naz is very interested in raising her own kind.

A giant Poké Ball logo floated above the entrance, slowly rotating and emitting a cold luster.

"I'll say it one last time, Ash!"

Xiaoxia took a deep breath, her face more serious than ever before.

She even reached out and grabbed Xiaozhi's arm, as if afraid he would rush in and spout nonsense at any moment.

"Once inside, find the front desk and clearly and explicitly tell them – we're here to challenge the Saffron Gym."

"Remember, it's a challenge against the Goldenrod Gym, not a challenge against Sabrina!"

"These two statements are completely different, do you understand?"

Xiaoxia still cares about Xiaozhi.

They were afraid that Xiao Zhi would suddenly go crazy.

...She always felt that the probability of Ash suddenly going crazy was not low...Really, why can't Ash just be normal?

Xiao Gang, holding Liuwei, nodded solemnly in return.

She then added, "Miss Naz's power is unfathomable, and her way of thinking is different from that of ordinary people."

“Any words or actions that could be misinterpreted as direct provocation could have consequences we cannot foresee.”

"It is crucial to remain humble and show that we are just trainers who have come to challenge in accordance with the League rules."

Although Xiaogang really wanted to see Xiaozhi get beaten up by the promotion.

But he just wanted to see Ash make a fool of himself.

It's not that I want to see Ash get killed.

"..." Xiao Zhi pulled down the brim of his hat, trying to hide his own nervousness.

He could feel Pikachu's slightly tense body on his shoulder, and the uneasy fluctuations emanating from the shadows of Misdreavus.

Even the Charmeleon, Gyarados, and Pidgeotto in the Poké Balls on his waist seemed to sense the unusual atmosphere of the place and became unusually quiet.

"I understand, I understand," Xiao Zhi replied, trying to make his voice sound calm.

"Challenge the gym, not Sabrina."

"I've almost memorized this sentence."

He took a deep breath, as if trying to inhale the pervasive, omnipresent pressure of superpowers into his lungs and then exhale it completely.

Then he stepped toward the smooth, mirror-like metal door that seemed to swallow all light.

Heading towards the abyss!

Awesome!

"..." Xiaoxia and Xiaogang followed closely behind, exchanging a strange look that was both worried and eager to see some fun.

however.

Just as Ash's left foot stepped across the gym's threshold—

Changes occur suddenly.

Without any warning, without any sound, without any light or shadow effects, and not even a ripple of energy.

Ash, who was walking at the very front, was instantly erased from reality as if by an invisible eraser, disappearing from Misty and Brock's sight.

The air seemed to distort where he had been standing before returning to normal, as if no one had ever been there.

Time seemed to freeze for a second.

"Ash?!" Misty's sharp exclamation shattered the silence of the gym's front hall, filled with disbelief and panic.

"Ash!!" Brock's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively took a step forward.

"Pikachu!!!" Pikachu, the most sensitive and with the deepest bond with Ash, was the first to completely lose its temper.

Pikachu walked ahead of Ash.

He turned back almost the instant Ash disappeared.

But it's still too late.

Its golden fur stood on end like thorns, and the electric sacs on its cheeks uncontrollably erupted with violent golden electric snakes, crackling and popping, with wild arcs of electricity leaping wildly, almost filling the entire entrance passage.

Pikachu paced anxiously in circles, letting out a shriek of anger and despair, its small body brimming with destructive energy due to its trainer's sudden disappearance.

"Mah! Mahah—!!!"

Almost simultaneously, Ash's shadow twisted and boiled violently, and Misdreavus screamed as it was forced to reveal itself.

Thick, inky shadow energy emanated from her body.

Those large eyes were filled with extreme fear and anger, and his mental power poured out uncontrollably, forming ripples of distorted light.

The chilling aura of the Ghost type intertwined with the violent energy of the Electric type, causing the temperature in the front hall to plummet, as if lightning was about to strike.

Because of their deepest connection with Ash and the panic of suddenly losing their target, the two little guys instantly went into a state of near-rampage!

Pikachu and Misdreavus are one in front of the other.

I thought that protecting Ash in this way would prevent any problems.

But who could have imagined that Ash would suddenly disappear?

"Calm down! Pikachu, calm down!" Brock reacted quickly, taking a step forward to try and get close to Pikachu, but the raging electric arcs prevented him from getting close easily.

All he could do was shout, "Xiao Zhi is okay! He's definitely okay!"

Xiaoxia also managed to break free from her extreme shock.

She immediately crouched down, ignoring the stinging Ghost-type energy, and stretched out her hands towards the Misdreavus, which was darting around in the air and nearly out of control: "Misdreavus! Look at me! Listen to me! Ash wasn't attacked! He was 'invited' away by Sabrina!"

“That’s right!” Xiao Gang explained at the top of his lungs, keeping a wary eye on Pikachu that could erupt at any moment.

"Teleport!"
