Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

She instinctively hugged her arms tightly, and even her orange ponytail seemed to lose some of its vitality.

After all, she knew a little about her parents' accident.

Xiaoxia opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound immediately; her eyes revealed obvious fear.

The Hua Lan Martial Arts Center has been working with the ocean for generations.

Some fears, deeply ingrained in our blood and memory, are far more unforgettable than knowledge from books.

Ash stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the huge, slowly moving signal on the screen, his expression under his hat brim extremely solemn.

“Professor Oak mentioned something to me last time…” His voice lowered.

"Regarding the 'Sea King' Pokémon under Kyogre's command, who rule over different sea areas, or rather... 'Overlords'."

He paused, then slowly recited those names that would take the breath away of ordinary trainers:

"①: The ancient sentinel of the misty strait - the immortal guardian."

"②: The vast ocean current of billions of wills - Deep Ocean Legion".

"③: The mobile fortress carrying the island - the Heavenly Abyss Beast".

"④: Lord of the Ballads of the Polar White Sea - Overlord of the Ice Ocean".

"⑤: The source of the curse of the foggy ghost ship - the ghost boatman."

"Professor Oak has earned his title."

"When I first heard it, I thought he was drunk and having a delusional episode."

"Emm... Drunk Professor Oak"

After Xiao Zhi finished speaking, he casually made a sarcastic remark.

Oki Research Institute possesses some of the most cutting-edge research data in the world.

It could even be said that, apart from research classified information, the academic community is generally willing to share most of their newly discovered data with Dr. Oki.

Ash didn't know if the information Professor Oak gave him was complete.

But just hearing these names feels like listening to myths.

With each name announced, Xiaoxia's face paled a little more, and Xiaogang's brows furrowed a little more.

Behind these names lies a terrifying power that surpasses even regular gym battles and Elite Four battles; it is a truly catastrophic existence.

Ash looked up at Professor Bill: "But Professor, we still can't determine which of these 'messengers' is this, or rather... what their true identities are?"

Upon hearing Ash's words, Professor Bill smiled.

"Hahaha... Drunk Professor Oak??"

"Suddenly, I feel like I'm describing it very well!"

"Professor Oak is still as witty as ever." He turned his gaze back to the huge screen.

"The signs of the Sea Emperor's awakening are becoming more and more frequent, and it is no coincidence that its messengers are appearing in the waters where humans are active." Dr. Zheng Hui's fingers slid rapidly across the control panel.

"do you know?"

"One day I heard such a sound coming from across the ocean."

Under Dr. Zheng Hui's control, a strange recording began to play.

"I want to see you, I really want to see you—that's how I felt after hearing that."

"Therefore I created the same sound and broadcast it towards the sea via a lighthouse."

"I want to see you too, I want to see you."

Instead of fear, Zheng Hui's face showed the extreme excitement of a scientist facing an unknown mystery.

Even though he knew perfectly well that what was being attracted was an incredibly powerful Pokémon.

How could a Pokémon professor, who studies Pokémon, be afraid of danger?

This is what true love for Pokémon looks like!

"And so, day after day passed."

"Until that day I heard a response; the same sound came from across the sea."

"I'm pretty sure he's one of the five Aquamen."

“It just so happens that I’m doing research in this area.”

"Instead of letting our imaginations run wild and relying on every little clue to deduce things..."

"If you want to know the truth about the Aquamen, why don't you just ask them directly?"

Archaeological research in this world is actually in a somewhat awkward position.

Archaeology.

Archaeology is about discovering history buried by time.

But this is not an ordinary world; it is a world with Pokémon.

There are species in Pokémon with extremely long lifespans.

Especially those beings who are called gods.

For humankind, the past is history.

For these Pokémon with extremely long lifespans, it's just something they've experienced.

So instead of thinking about how to increase your archaeological knowledge, you should think about how to become stronger... and then ask those powerful Pokémon what you want to know.

If we could contact the God of Time.

Then the entire archaeological industry could be transformed from archaeology into record keeping.

Compared to archaeological work, which may involve various guesses and errors.

If the data is recorded directly, its authenticity will be guaranteed.

"Just by meeting him, we can understand the world better."

Dr. Zheng Hui said.

"You guys can wait here for two days."

"This will be an unforgettable memory."

Chapter 50 The Bored Keyboard Warrior - Gardevoir

The next morning.

In a temporary guest room at the Lighthouse Research Institute, Ash was awakened by the rhythmic sound of ocean waves outside the window.

This is a genuine ocean view room.

Their living conditions are quite good.

When they arrived in the lobby after washing up, they found that Xiao Gang had already used the lab's kitchen to prepare breakfast, while Xiao Xia was helping Dr. Zheng Hui record some basic data.

"Good morning," Ash greeted, tossing out his Poké Balls one by one.

"Let's all come out and stretch our legs."

Red light flashes.

Pikachu, Pidgeotto, and most notably, the golden Gyarados appeared in the relatively spacious area of ​​the hall.

"Pippi~" Pidgey perched on Ash's shoulder and rubbed its head against Ash's face.

It is also working hard to cultivate itself.

Especially the high-speed star skill.

As a bird, of course it should be a bomber; who fights close combat?

Dr. Zhenghui's research institute is very large.

Although Gyarados is also quite large, it can still move around normally within the room.

It curiously surveyed its technologically advanced surroundings, making low gurgling sounds in its throat.

After this period of training, Gyarados has been able to barely control itself.

At least when not experiencing pain or combat stimulation, one can maintain a calm and self-aware state.

Cultivation is quite effective.

Dr. Zheng Hui's gaze was instantly drawn to that dazzling gold.

Golden Gyarados?

This is the first time I've ever seen this!

He almost immediately put down the instrument in his hand and walked over quickly.

His eyes gleamed with an almost fanatical curiosity.

He truly deserves to be called a world-renowned researcher.

"This is... a Shiny Gyarados?" Dr. Zheng Hui examined it closely, muttering to himself.

"I remember the current research said that there is only a red, shiny Gyarados, right?"

"I never expected there would be a gold color?!"

"This color... is so pure, it's like molten gold."

Is it dominant expression at the cellular level?

"Or is it a special environmental mutation?"

Dr. Zhenghui rambled on and on.

There are many different types of Shiny Pokémon in this world; for example, there are pink Pokémon in the Orange Islands.

He suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed intently on Xiaozhi, his tone urgent yet polite:

"Xiao Zhi, I have a favor to ask... Could you allow me to collect a blood sample from it?"

Only a small amount is needed!

"I want to analyze its gene sequence to see if there are any significant differences between it and a regular Gyarados!"

Seeing such a rare Pokémon, it would be too much to ask a scholar not to do some research.

Ash glanced at Gyarados, then at Professor Bill who looked eager for knowledge, and nodded: "Okay, as long as it doesn't have any objections."

Gyarados seemed to understand, tilting its massive head slightly before obediently opening its enormous mouth filled with sharp teeth.

After all, except for the inside of his mouth, his whole body was covered with thick scales... Even though there was a keratin layer inside his mouth, it was still the easiest place to draw blood.

Moreover, for a creature with thick skin and tough flesh, having a little blood drawn is about the same as being bitten by a mosquito.

Dr. Zheng Hui immediately and skillfully took a specially made blood collection device with a needle-like tip and carefully extracted a small tube of blood from the mucous membrane blood vessels inside the Gyarados's mouth.

Throughout the entire process, Gyarados didn't even blink, showing no reaction whatsoever.

"Great!" Dr. Zhenghui exclaimed as if he had found a treasure. Holding the vial of blood that glistened under the light, he immediately rushed back to his analytical instruments.

all day.

Dr. Zheng Hui practically lived in the laboratory, with the humming of various precision instruments almost never stopping.

Perhaps only with this kind of research attitude can one achieve success in the academic profession?

at dusk.

Dr. Zhenghui was holding several printed data reports.

His face was filled with immense confusion and bewilderment as he found Ash feeding his Pokémon.

Dr. Zheng Hui's research institute has plenty of food.

Everyone's Pokémon were very satisfied with the meal, especially Gyarados.

Can a small vial of blood be exchanged for so much food?

OVO Gyarados thinks it's totally worth it!
