Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

"...You're really making me furious." Ash clenched his fists tightly.

He looked at the jellyfish's sap residue on the ground, at the Pokémon dying in the cage, Lt. Surge's warning, Horsea's fear, Granny's ugly face at this moment... all the images exploded in his mind.

Xiao Zhi raised his head, his eyes as cold as a frozen lake. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling intensity that pierced the unpleasant air.

"...There are indeed things in this world that are beyond redemption."

"I think you shouldn't exist in this world..."

"The biggest piece of trash!"

To be honest, in Ash's opinion, it's quite normal for a few humans and Pokémon to die or be injured.

Let alone the conflict and war between humans and Pokémon that resulted in death.

It's normal for battles and casualties to occur even between humans and between Pokémon.

After all, it's not uncommon for people to choke to death while eating or drinking.

Birth, aging, illness, and death are all normal occurrences.

But this absolutely does not include large-scale massacres.

"You foolish little brat... Do you know how much money I lost because these jellyfish delayed my work?" Granny Jin said, clearly annoyed.

His plan, once it begins, will undoubtedly bring a significant economic boost to Kuroba City.

From the moment this hotel was built, it has been contributing to the economic development of Konoha City.

However, the city of Kureha was unwilling to provide her with any further assistance.

Even the dojo master was unwilling to help.

Grandma Jin felt that she had no choice but to do it herself.

As an ordinary wealthy person, she obviously had no idea what Ma Xueshi and his group were struggling with.

"Pokémon or humans."

"Anything that stops me from making money is a damn thing."

Grandma Gold didn't care about the League's rules, even though the League's rules didn't allow destruction, the living environment of a large group of Pokémon was still the same.

Her thinking was simple: there are plenty of people who break the rules, so why arrest me?

"Why waste time on all this nonsense?" Xiaoxia was clearly furious. "She doesn't deserve to listen!"

"Go, gem starfish!"

"Release these agate jellyfish and stinging jellyfish!"

Misty released her Pokémon.

The released starfish flew like darts, completely opening the iron cages that had trapped the jellyfish.

"You're pushing your luck, you brats!" Granny Jin's face turned sinister.

Should we kill these three brats?

It's not impossible—

The atmosphere between the two sides was tense and hostile.

It looks like a fight is about to break out.

at this time.

"Pikachu?" Pikachu sensed something was amiss.

The unusual aura was coming from across the sea.

And the sound of the waves grew louder and louder.

wow-

wow-

wow-

Wow! ! !

The suddenly enlarged waves crashed onto the construction site, soaking the jellyfish.

The jellyfish, which were previously half-dead, suddenly began to regain their vitality.

Chapter 69 Pseudo-Overlord: Giant Venomous Jellyfish

The sound of the waves is no longer gentle.

Instead, it transformed into dull, increasingly heavy impacts, thunderously pounding against the temporary embankment of the construction site, splashing up murky, eerily purple water droplets.

The cloying, chemically-laden stench in the air seemed to be forcibly suppressed by a more primal, powerful, and damp salty smell.

It seems some kind of retribution is coming.

"These waves...something's not right!" Xiao Gang was the first to notice the anomaly. "Trouble's brewing."

He looked warily in the direction the sound came from, his brow furrowed.

Although they are both dojo owners, Xiaogang has more experience than Xiaoxia... Being five years older is not for nothing.

The seawater no longer surged onto the mudflats evenly, but instead seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, forming a chaotic yet powerful vortex.

The black seahorse in Xiaoxia's arms suddenly stopped trembling.

It strained to raise its head, gazing towards the sea.

The small eyes no longer held fear, but rather something indescribable... awe?

It even gently nuzzled Xia's palm, emitting a soft, urging chirp.

Is this the power of the ocean?

Or is it the force of nature?

I'm not sure... but it is definitely the power of some kind of Pokémon.

Ash's sharp gaze swept across the sea.

His extraordinary perception detected the power spreading through the seawater even faster than his vision.

Warm, vast, and imbued with indescribable vitality, it surges continuously from the deep sea, gently enveloping the dying jellyfish on the shore.

Their shriveled bodies plumped up at a visible speed, and their dull colors regained the unique luster of agate and stingray.

“This is…” Ash’s pupils contracted slightly. The “texture” of this power made him feel a strange sense of familiarity. In an instant, the huge, sky-covering figure next to Bright Lighthouse flashed through his mind.

"...A giant Dragonite?"

Ash felt that this force was like a giant Dragonite.

He became increasingly certain of this.

"What?!" Xiaoxia exclaimed in surprise, but she immediately realized what was happening.

Besides that legendary creature, what else could possess such earth-shattering power to cure such a large-scale poisoning and dehydration in an instant?

"...It's a test, and also nature's punishment..." Xiao Gang already knew what was about to happen.

This kind of thing also happened in Nibi City.

Nibi is a mining city.

After that incident, Nibi City never dared to mine recklessly again.

Mining operations must be kept within certain limits.

"A giant... Dragonite?" Granny Jin's smugness and arrogance froze instantly, and a hint of panic appeared on her face.

Although she was domineering, she had also heard the astonishing news that came from the coastline a few days ago.

Grandma Jin tried to remain calm, pointing her cane at the sea, but her voice involuntarily rose, becoming sharp and menacing:

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

"The waves are just a bit big!!"

"My project must..."

Her words stopped abruptly.

The changes in the sea surface have gone beyond the scope of "the waves are a little bigger".

boom--! ! !

A deafening roar, far more terrifying than any before, exploded.

A massive wall of water rose abruptly like a mountain.

It almost blocked out half of the sky, and the sunlight was cut into fragments.

The murky seawater, carrying broken building materials and mud, crashed down on the construction site!

"Watch out!" Xiao Gang suddenly pulled Xiao Xia and Xiao Zhi back.

The starfish instantly spun around, creating a weak wall of light that barely blocked the most fatal impact, but the three of them were still soaked to the bone.

Grandma Jin and her black-clad bodyguards were in a terrible state, screaming as they were swept away and even pulled into the sea.

And right in the middle of this towering wave.

All the seawater seemed to come alive, frantically contracting and coalescing inward.

Under the sea.

That warm and vast power surged and converged with unprecedented intensity, eventually transforming into a dazzling blue pillar of light.

These forces suddenly poured into the body of a stinging jellyfish that had just recovered some of its strength in the waves.

Whoosh—!!!

A deep roar, unlike anything an ordinary stinging jellyfish could produce, a mixture of pain, anger, and overflowing power, instantly drowned out all the sounds of the waves and the screams of the humans.

The stinging jellyfish's body began to swell horribly.

Ten meters... twenty meters... thirty meters...

Its tentacles thrashed wildly, growing thicker and longer, like enormous, terrifying whips covered in suckers and venomous barbs.

Its agate-like crown on its head expanded dramatically, becoming like a small plaza, its color so deep it seemed to absorb all light.

The venomous spikes, which were originally slender relative to the body, have now transformed into terrifying weapons as large as battering rams, gleaming with a chilling, eerie purple light.

Tentacle jellyfish typically have 80 tentacles.

This revealed an extremely terrifying appearance.

Indeed, most creatures are cute when they're small, but once they become enormous...

Its growth even surpassed that of the original giant Dragonite.

In almost a few breaths, it reached a height comparable to Dragonite, around fifty meters, and... it was still climbing.

finally.

When it finally stopped growing, its enormous shadow, like a curtain of death, completely enveloped the entire construction site and the nearby shallow sea area.

Its shadow was even heavier than the sunset on the horizon.

Sixty meters?

Even higher!

It lowered its head slightly.

Those enormous, otherwise simple eyes were now burning with a cold and furious crimson light.

It stared intently at Granny Jin, who was as small as an ant below, and at this sinful mudflat filled with the smell of poison, which imprisoned its kind.

The air seemed to freeze.

Grandma Jin, soaking wet, gaped, her cane clattering as it fell onto the sticky ground.

The color drained from her face, leaving only boundless fear and unbelievable despair.

The bodyguards around Granny Jin had long lost their previous ferocity; their legs were trembling like leaves, and some had even collapsed to the ground.

The giant stinging jellyfish slowly raised one of its tentacles, which was as large as a bridge pier. The wind pressure generated by this action alone almost knocked Granny Jin over.
