Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

But you can still run away.

This is the power of the super-powered system.

Unless spatial movement is blocked in advance by a more powerful spirit using spatial power.

Otherwise, even the weakest Psychic-type Pokémon can travel a long distance if it can teleport.

The strength of different Pokémon is not the same.

Different Pokémon types are also divided into legendary and weak types.

The Psychic series has never gone out of style.

The basic Psychic-type skill, Telekinesis, is one of the most versatile skills with the widest range of attacks.

Using telekinesis to manipulate various substances and even interfere with space.

The power of superpowers needs no further explanation.

The alarm had stopped sometime earlier.

But the heavy sense of oppression did not dissipate; instead, it enveloped the entire lighthouse as if it were a tangible entity.

One of the five Great Sea King Pokémon, it is a powerful creature that is qualified to stand on the world stage.

Gardevoir's red pupils shimmered with the light of psychic powers.

It slightly turned its head, and that gentle male voice once again resounded directly in everyone's minds, carrying a hint of barely perceptible surprise:

It stopped...right outside.

[No intention to attack...more like...waiting?]

...This also shows that Gardevoir is very nervous, after all, it has started talking nonsense.

If there's real hostility... then there's no more to it, so what are we waiting for?

Dr. Zheng Hui lunged at the main control panel, his hands moving rapidly to project the images from the external monitors onto the huge main screen.

The image initially shook violently and became blurry, before gradually becoming clear and stable.

On the sea under the cover of night, a massive, unimaginable silhouette stood majestically.

The moonlight barely outlined its mountain-like silhouette—a round head, short wings, thick limbs, and a long, powerful tail.

This is the form of Dragonite.

But its size has increased countless times, like a giant god emerging from legend.

The waves flowed gently beneath its feet like a tranquil stream, and the beam of the lighthouse searchlight could not even fully illuminate its body.

What's most unsettling is that pair of enormous, searchlight-like eyes are calmly gazing in the direction of the lighthouse, without any rage or malice, only a profound and... curious gaze that has been accumulated over countless years.

"It...is looking at me?" Dr. Zheng Hui's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

He almost subconsciously straightened his disheveled research coat.

"It understood my call!"

"It really came to respond to me!"

Dr. Zheng Hui's face radiated an almost reverent glow, his previous sternness replaced by immense excitement.

"Doctor, it's too dangerous!" Xiao Gang couldn't help but try to dissuade him, his face full of worry.

Xiaoxia nervously grabbed Xiaozhi's arm.

Faced with such a colossal creature, the instinct of human beings is to scream and flee.

Big!

too big!

But Dr. Zheng Hui's determination was unwavering.

"Gardedor, open the outer barrier." His voice was unusually firm. "I must speak to it... This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Chapter 52 The Solution to the Giant Dragonite

Dr. Bright then looked at Ash and his two friends, "You stay here, safety first."

However, Ash stepped forward, his eyes fixed intently on the giant Dragonite on the screen: "Let's go too."

"Pikachu, we need to check up close." Ash felt that if there was any real danger, he wouldn't be able to escape.

If that's the case, what is there to be afraid of?

"Pikachu!" Pikachu nodded seriously, tiny arcs of electricity flickering in the electric sacs on its cheeks, a mixture of alertness and, to some extent,...excitement?

Gardevoir looked at Professor Bright, who took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

Stay close to me.

Gardevoir's voice echoed in everyone's minds, and at the same time, the faint glow of its psychic power enveloped them.

next moment.

They only felt the scenery before their eyes flash by.

It has already appeared on the open-air observation platform at the top of the lighthouse.

The sea breeze suddenly became fierce, carrying a heavy, salty smell and an indescribable, ancient pressure that swept over us.

Facing this behemoth up close, the visual impact far surpasses what you see on a screen.

Dragonite simply stood there quietly, and its shadow almost covered the entire lighthouse.

Each of its breaths brought forth a low whistle, like the prelude to a storm.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang's faces turned pale, and they subconsciously moved closer to Gardevoir.

Ash tilted his head back, his eyes under the brim of his hat trying to catch every subtle change in Dragonite's gaze.

Pikachu gripped Ash's shoulder tightly, its fur standing on end, but it wasn't entirely out of fear; rather, it seemed to be displaying an instinctive awe in the face of a powerful being.

Dr. Zheng Hui stood at the very front, trying to calm his racing heart, and shouted with all his might:

"Hello!"

"A magnificent existence!"

"I am Zheng Hui!"

"They are the researchers of this lighthouse!"

Thank you for responding to my call!

His voice sounded faint in the sea breeze, but he believed the other person could hear him.

A brief moment of silence.

The only sound was the waves crashing against the rocks.

Just when everyone thought the communication had failed.

An aged, deep voice, seemingly imbued with the sound of ocean waves and the passage of time, slowly resonated deep within the hearts of all of them.

With a strange echo, like an ancient ballad:

[...interesting gadgets...interesting sounds...]

Dragonite's gaze seemed to fall on Professor Bill.

[You...are looking for...me?]

Zhenghui says he is a researcher.

And it is only natural for researchers to pursue knowledge.

"Yes!" Dr. Zheng Hui was so excited he almost jumped up, and his speech involuntarily quickened.

"I want to understand the ocean's past, and the history and secrets protected by beings like you!"

"Anything you are willing to share is a priceless treasure to me!" Zheng Hui is a pure researcher.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have done something so extremely risky.

[History...] Dragonite's voice was distant and calm, as if recalling something from a very long time ago.

[Waves... foam... memories... will also wear away...]

[What I know... is not all...]

It doesn't seem to reject communication.

Since he had already agreed to Zheng Hui's request to keep the appointment, it was only natural that he would do so.

Otherwise, why would he come all this way?

It answered Dr. Zheng Hui's vague questions about ancient ocean climate, changes in specific regions, and even some long-sunken civilization relics in a slow and concise manner, using a direct, spiritual communication approach.

Its answers often come with poetic metaphors and unique perspectives left by the passage of time, which captivated Dr. Zheng Hui, who would occasionally exclaim in sudden realization.

Ash and his two friends listened quietly, as if they were listening to a living epic.

This is what it truly means to have an elder in the family, like a treasure.

It truly knows and has witnessed too much history.

As Xiaoxia watched this incredible and peaceful exchange unfold before her, and then thought of the mystery surrounding her parents' disappearance, courage gradually overcame her fear.

She took a deep breath, clenched her fists tightly, and looked at Dr. Zheng Hui with pleading in her eyes.

Dr. Zhenghui noticed her gaze and instantly understood her intention.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally raised his head and said to the giant Dragonite with utmost solemnity, "Great being, I apologize for interrupting your conversation."

"The girl next to me, her parents were ocean-loving trainers who went missing many years ago while on a journey to explore the mysteries of the ocean... Do you know anything about them?"

"Or... do you know their fate?"

He pointed to Xia, who was so nervous she could barely breathe, beside him.

Dr. Zhenghui is quite reliable when he's doing serious work.

At least he didn't say something as suicidal as, "Xiaoxia's parents want to tame a playboy like you."

It would make much more sense to change it to exploring the mysteries of the ocean.

Dragonite's massive head turned slightly, its searchlight-like gaze focusing on Misty.

That gaze wasn't sharp, yet it seemed to penetrate the soul, revealing similar imprints deep within the bloodline.

Silence enveloped the platform, with only the sounds of the wind and the waves.

Xiaoxia felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

After a long while, that grand voice of the soul rang out again, carrying a hint of... pity?

[Many seek the mysteries of the ocean...]

[Many have fallen...]

[However... I did not sense the...end of your blood ties...]

[Never...in my domain...have I encountered its spirit...]

[The one they challenged...was not me...]

Although Dr. Bright put it somewhat euphemistically, Dragonite still knew what they were talking about.

This kind of trivial matter is completely insignificant to Dragonite.

The battles between Pokémon are pure.

From the perspective of Pokémon, humans are just a strange kind of Pokémon.

Dragonite, in particular, is a Pokémon with a relatively good temperament.

Most Dragonite are kind by nature.

Xiaoxia suddenly raised her head, her eyes instantly gleaming with hope, her voice trembling and choked with sobs: "You...you mean...they might still be alive?"

Dragonite's gaze seemed to soften slightly.

[The ocean...is vast...far beyond your imagination...]

[Existence... is not limited to only two states: life and death...]
