Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

An unprecedented threat!

Pikachu is a partner, Misty is a companion, and even the new Charmeleon is just a junior that needs to be taken care of.

But this "Nazi" is different!

This is no longer the trainer's worry about being targeted by a powerful rival; it's... another malicious "rival" has broken into her "home" and is trying to take over her most cherished "possessions"!

Heartbroken?

No, what fills the Dream Demon's heart at this moment is a burning fighting spirit and a determination to defend its territory!

enemy!

This is a love rival!

—Quack!

—Let me go!

Don't hug him!

The purple mist surrounding the Dream Demon surged violently, almost solidifying into a tangible form.

Her small body trembled slightly with anger, her eyes fixed on Sabrina, as if she were about to pounce on her and use her strongest Ghost-type move to drive away this "kindred spirit".

And the other side.

Ash, who was being held and fed by Sabrina, was extremely embarrassed, but he also keenly noticed the icy gaze of Misdreavus at the door.

He struggled to turn his eyes, meeting the dream demon's gaze, which seemed to burn with a ghostly purple flame.

Xiao Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no... Mengmeng seems to have... misunderstood something?

And this misunderstanding seems to be quite deep!

Whether this is true or a misunderstanding, let's skip that topic for now.

Ash tried to respond with a helpless yet reassuring look, but clearly, in this scene that looked exactly like a paradise, any eye contact seemed pale and powerless.

The atmosphere inside the restaurant was thus frozen in a contradiction between extreme absurdity and undercurrents.

On one side, the Naz sisters (?) were showing concern as if no one else was around.

On one side is Xiaoxia and Xiaogang's worldview collapsing into a daze, Pikachu's bewildered state, and Misdreavus's impending burst of fierce hostility towards "intruders of the same kind".

Anyway...

Now that things have come to this, let's eat first.

Chapter 134 Oh no! Naza is running away!

This lunch at the Goldenrod Gym was destined to be Ash's most unsettling and unforgettable feast during this period.

It cannot be said that there will be no one like him in the future, but there will certainly be no one like him before.

Amidst the murderous glare of the Misdreavus, the petrified expressions of Misty and Brock, and Pikachu's transformation from confusion to gradual acceptance... Ash, like a custom-made humanoid doll, was held in Sabrina's arms and patiently fed by her throughout his meal.

In short, although I got the gold badge, it looks like I got it by sponging off a rich guy.

Ash tried to protest weakly.

For example: "Miss Naza, I can do it myself..."

Or: "Isn't this... not a good idea?"

But all words were defeated by Naz's calm and unwavering gaze and her sweet threat, "If you don't eat, you won't grow tall!"

At a deeper level, there is an invisible sense of constraint that makes it difficult for him to mount a truly effective resistance.

He could sense that Naz wasn't acting maliciously, but rather it was more like... a kind of "care" based on her own logic.

Naz's childhood was undoubtedly marked by a lack of love.

Treating Satoshi in this way... seems like a form of subrogation?

...emm...all I can say is that since Sabrina has already developed a split personality, her mental state is indeed quite worrying.

Only after the last bite of food was put into her mouth did Sabrina gently place Ash back on the ground, as if she had completed some important ritual.

The feeling of being grounded has never been so wonderful.

Xiao Zhi almost staggered back half a step, quickly straightening his crooked hat and wrinkled clothes, the burning sensation on his face lingering for a long time.

"Mah!" The Misdreavus immediately rushed over like a mother hen protecting her chicks, blocking Ash's path, baring its teeth at Sabrina, its ghostly energy fluctuating unstablely around it.

The Dream Demon had tried to do this before, but unfortunately it was impossible.

Misdreavus: I need to throw tiles!

Dream Demon: Today, my hand trembled!

Dream Demon: Today, my heart aches!

Dream Demon: Today... Waaaaaah... Don't make me see this!

Misdreavus: Phowa! Where is my Phowa?!

Sabrina merely glanced at the Dream Demon with a calm and unwavering gaze, yet it caused the Dream Demon's energy to stagnate instantly, as if most of it had been extinguished by invisible ice water, leaving only a resentful "woof".

The gap in strength is too large.

"see you later."

The clear, cold voice once again resonated directly in everyone's minds.

The next moment, Naz's figure, along with the smiling little Naz beside her, blurred and disappeared, vanishing as if it had merged into the air.

"She...she's gone?" Xiaoxia seemed to find her voice again, and asked hoarsely.

She had been silent all along, questioning her life and feeling that things were unrealistic.

"It seems so." Xiao Gang let out a long sigh of relief, feeling his back soaked with cold sweat. "This meal... it's made me lose ten years of my life."

Xiao Zhi rubbed his forehead with a wry smile. Before he could explain to his friends, the young man with the empty eyes from before reappeared like a ghost.

"Lady Natsu has ordered that you all follow me to the main hall."

His tone remained flat, his eyes remained lifeless, and his face remained expressionless...

But Ash keenly sensed that the psychic waves that were everywhere in the air, like background noise, had undergone a subtle change and were gathering in a certain area deep inside the gym.

A sense of impending doom lingered in Xiao Zhi's mind.

Talk therapy may feel good for a moment, but it can lead to disaster later.

Ash spoke casually, but what will Sabrina do next?

They followed the guide into an extremely spacious hall.

This place is less of a battle arena and more of a space that combines meditation, gatherings, and a kind of ritual.

Theoretically speaking, the Saffron Gym should primarily host challengers.

...But in reality, the entire Goldenrod Gym is undoubtedly closer to a training ground for espers.

In the center of the hall was a huge circular platform, rising in steps around it, which was now densely packed with people and Pokémon.

Most of them wore uniform clothing with golden dojo emblems, and they varied in age, but without exception, they all emanated varying degrees of superpower fluctuations.

They are the trainers, psychic apprentices, Pokémon, and various psychics who reside in the Goldenrod Gym.

This is the superpowered army of Goldenrod City.

Many of them gathered here spontaneously because of Sabrina's strength.

Golden City can be said to have the largest number of superpowered individuals in the entire world.

As for Cattleya?

Although some people believe that Gadriya is just as powerful as Naz.

However, Gadria's control over her superpowers was clearly inadequate, making it impossible for her to become a leader of superpowered individuals like Sabrina.

As long as you don't offend Naz, you'll generally be fine, and you might even get some guidance from her.

However, with Cattleya, he might very well die because of the effects of her superpower going berserk.

All eyes were focused on the central platform.

There, Naz's figure had appeared at some unknown time.

She was no longer floating, but standing quietly, her long, dark green hair moving without wind, her deep eyes sweeping across the entire room. The hall, which had been filled with faint conversations, instantly fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Sabrina didn't bring Ash up with her because she didn't want to attract too much attention.

After all, not all the superpowered people here are loyal to her.

Ash and his friends arrived at a corner at the edge of the venue, quite far away.

Naz did not use any amplification equipment.

Her voice seemed to resonate directly in the depths of everyone's heart:

"I have gathered you all here to announce something."

"From this moment forward, I will cease my daily meditation and shut down my ability to foresee the future."

The moment those words were spoken, it was as if a mental bomb had been dropped into the entire hall!

This is similar to a country announcing that it will shut down all of its satellites for a period of time.

It's important to understand that the status of superpowered individuals was elevated precisely because of Sabrina.

Before Sabrina, there were no superpowered individuals with such outrageous abilities.

Most superpowered people are only good at performing magic tricks like bending a spoon, which is only good for making people laugh.

"what?!"

"Stop meditating? Shut down precognition?!"

"Lady Sabrina, how can this be!"

"Without your foresight, the city's safety..."

"What about those potential threats?!"

After a brief silence, a tidal wave of exclamations, doubts, and incomprehensible commotion surged forth.

The mental fluctuations of the superpowered individuals were so intense from the shock that the air in the hall seemed to be distorting.

The ability to foresee the future is not only a symbol of Sabrina's power, but also a crucial guarantee that has allowed Goldenrod City to remain safe and sound amidst countless potential crises over the years!

It acts like a pair of "sky eyes" hanging high above the city, preventing countless risks in advance.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang looked at Xiaozhi in shock, their eyes filled with questions—you dog, what did you do?

Even though everyone fears Naz, they have to admit her importance.

Golden City is the economic center of the entire Kanto region and is one of the most prosperous places in the world.

To maintain order here, what's needed is a humanoid super radar phased array like Natsumi.

Apart from that, no one else can be controlled at all.

This isn't a matter of ability, but rather a matter of perception.

Apart from Natsume, no one else could manage things so comprehensively.

Do you really think that just because it's a Pokémon it can predict the future 24/7?

In any case, Kalos Champion Diantha has publicly stated that her Gardevoir cannot do it.

Steven, the champion of Hoenn, has also stated that his Metagross cannot do this.

That's how outrageous everyone sees Naz.

Even if Sabrina's premonition of the future isn't guaranteed to happen... even if there's only a 10% chance it will happen, it's better than nothing.

Preparing in advance can prevent various dangers.

If you are sick, get treatment.

It's good to be healthy.

Because of proper preparation, the butterfly effect can even prevent what should have happened from happening.
