Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

“Strange…this is so strange…” Dr. Zhenghui repeatedly compared the data in the report.

"Based on gene sequences, energy fluctuations, cell activity... almost everything I can detect, except for the slightly active pigment deposition-related genes, your Gyarados is essentially no different from a regular Gyarados!"

He scratched his already somewhat disheveled hair, his brow furrowed.

"Logically speaking, a shimmering individual would usually exhibit specificity and instability on certain gene chains, but its genes are surprisingly stable."

"...It's like...it's like a regular Gyarados was simply 'painted' with a layer of gold paint?"

"But how is that possible?"

This result left even this brilliant researcher deeply bewildered, as it completely contradicted his existing knowledge.

Xiao Zhi took the report and glanced at it. He couldn't quite understand the dense data and charts on it, but the final conclusion was clear—no abnormalities.

He subtly lowered the brim of his hat: "Perhaps... it's just special."

The system's output is indeed something that cannot be detected by ordinary means.

"Pikachu!" Just then, Pikachu seemed to have noticed something.

Curious, it pushed open a half-closed metal door on the side of the hall and peered inside.

The next second, Xiao Zhi also peeked through the crack in the door.

Inside the room, the elegant Gardevoir was slumped unceremoniously in an ergonomic chair.

Its pure white "skirt" is lifted up, its legs are crossed, and one "hand" is holding a can of bubbling, ice-cold beer.

The other "hand" was typing on the virtual keyboard at lightning speed, with several forums and chat windows open on the screen.

Rows of text appeared quickly on the screen.

Gardevoir appears to be outputting energy within its skull at an extremely high frequency.

—That's it?

—You think you can tame a dream?

—With your level of expertise, you dare to question a PhD's data?

—Did you hire a ghostwriter to write your school papers?

—You ghostwriter!

—Can't even do reverse derivation?

—Your advisor is turning in his grave!

After intense keyboard typing.

— Done!

—I'll ban your account!

The visual impact is too strong.

Ash and Pikachu were both stunned at the doorway.

Although we know you are a male Gardevoir, could you please be a little more mindful of your appearance?

Gardevoir seemed to sense the gaze from the doorway, and her typing motion abruptly froze.

—Damn, I forgot we had guests these past two days.

—Attention is focused on the computer and outside the research institute!

—Zhenghui! Why didn't you stop him!

It slowly turned its head, its red pupils meeting Ash and Pikachu's gaze.

The air froze for a second.

"boom!"

Gardevoir instantly slammed the door shut with its psychic powers, making a loud bang.

After a few seconds.

The door was gently opened again.

Gardevoir floated gracefully in mid-air, its skirt cascading down, its posture impeccably elegant.

It nodded slightly, and a gentle male voice resonated in everyone's hearts, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion:

[Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for dinner.]

[The doctor has prepared a sumptuous seafood feast for you.]

Please follow me.

Having said that, it maintained perfect poise and turned to lead the way.

Regardless of whether this reason is nonsense or not.

Whether you believe it or not, he believes it anyway.

Just as it turned around, Ash seemed to see a barely perceptible blush appear on the back of its cheek.

Xiaozhi: "..."

Pikachu: "(⊙_⊙)?"

At that moment, the mysterious and powerful image of a certain Psychic-type Pokémon quietly cracked open in Ash's heart.

So the Pokémon professor's assistant also surfs the internet and argues with trolls in private...

He himself is a contrarian.

Still that kind of super keyboard god who says, "If Heaven hadn't given birth to Gardevoir, the keyboard path would have been in eternal darkness, but now, with a single keystroke, I'm here."

Chapter 51 Sea King - The Giant Dragonite Arrives

time flies.

Dr. Zheng Hui's instrument system is able to detect the approach of a giant energy source.

In theory, at this point, it is already possible to actively monitor the other party.

However, this is actually an extremely undesirable behavior.

The other party is here to keep the appointment.

So just wait.

The huge energy signal on the screen is gradually getting brighter, and its trajectory is beginning to shift towards the direction of Kuye City.

The Shining Lighthouse is actually very close to Konoha City.

I wonder if any abnormal energy fluctuations have been detected at the Vermilion Dojo?

However, given Dr. Masahiro's status and position... after all, this isn't in Kureha City, and Kureha City has no jurisdiction over this area.

...However, no one can predict how Lt. Surge, the Gym Leader of Vermilion City, will act.

This evening.

The alarm in the laboratory suddenly became urgent, and the red warning lights silently spun and flashed.

The light in the dark blue energy conduit also seemed to be disturbed, and began to flicker erratically.

"The analysis model is being built... the energy readings are rising sharply... it's accelerating!" Zheng Hui's voice was urgent.

The joy in my heart became increasingly difficult to suppress.

After so much hard work, we've finally seen results.

From the mouths of these living fossils, from the mouths of these long-lived Pokémon, one can understand the reality of this world from a first-person perspective.

This is much nicer than archaeology.

Even if these perceptions of Pokémon are subjective, they can be analyzed in conjunction with archaeological data.

In short, you can't lose money no matter what.

Gardevoir appeared silently beside Bill, its red pupils gleaming with psychic power, clearly also on high alert.

After all, Dr. Bright only needs to focus on research, while Gardevoir has a lot more to think about.

If a fight really breaks out, Gardevoir will have to lead the team and be the first to engage.

If they can't win, Gardevoir will have to lead everyone to escape.

[Doctor, the port's energy barrier generator has automatically activated to maximum power.]

A gentle male voice resonated in everyone's hearts, carrying an unprecedented solemnity.

That Sea King's messenger...

Extremely strong.

very strong.

"Hahahaha—" Professor Zheng Hui suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Zhi and the other two, his face showing a mixture of excitement and seriousness.

"You'll know soon."

His voice came through the siren, as if echoing the sound of the ocean waves.

"It has... arrived."

On the huge main screen, the point of light representing the "messenger" suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

Its outline is beginning to take shape little by little amidst the frenzied flood of data streams.

It was a massive, terrifying shadow, like a moving mountain, casting its gaze upon the human city from the depths of the sea.

The laboratory lights flickered violently, as if trembling at the arrival of some supreme being.

*Gulp*—Xiao Zhi and his two friends swallowed hard.

The shape of the shadow became increasingly clear in the computer analysis, and its general outline was revealed.

"I never expected it to be a Dragonite!" Brock exclaimed, at a loss for words.

Generally speaking, Rock-type Pokémon tend to be relatively large in size and weight.

But even the largest Rock Serpent that Xiaogang knew of... was far inferior to the behemoth before him.

"...This is huge!" Xiaoxia thought the Dragonite was about 50 meters tall.

So, is this what parents did to challenge these creatures?

How could we possibly win?

—Can we ask Him?

Xiaoxia made up her mind that she would definitely ask if she had the chance.

You must make sure your parents are alive or dead.

"What a beautiful, magical, and powerful creature..." Dr. Zheng Hui began to exclaim.

[Doctor... he's too strong...] Gardevoir's serious voice rang out.

"Height is approximately 50 meters... weight should be over 24650 tons..."

Dr. Zheng Hui seemed oblivious, already absorbed in his own world.

This punch is literally a million-ton punch.

"The impact force at the tail is roughly equivalent to a small earthquake, with an shock force reaching tens of thousands of kilonewtons..."

"It's not an earthquake caused by skill-based earthquakes, but an earthquake caused purely by impact force."

"I don't know how much this large body structure has changed compared to a normal Dragonite..."

"Ignoring characteristics, abilities, and skills... even if it were made of pure scales, it should be able to withstand heavy artillery attacks."

Although he didn't have detailed physical data and materials of the giant Dragonite for research, Dr. Bright had already begun calculations in his mind.

Gardevoir was speechless.

[Please stay close to me. If anything unusual happens, I will take you away immediately.]

Gardevoir reminded Ash and his friends.

There's no way we can defeat the giant monster in front of us in a fight.
