Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

The shadow of destruction descended as if it were a tangible reality.

Ash suddenly stepped forward, shielding Misty and Brock behind him, and looked up to face the terrifying giant shadow.

"partner!"

"Pica-!"

Pikachu leaped onto Ash's shoulder, its entire body flashing with golden light and crackling with electricity.

"Is it a Pokémon Totem?" Misty placed her hand on the Poké Ball; she was carrying a Gyrilla, a mainstay of the Gym Leader class.

This is to prevent accidents.

Even if it's the gym leader's main force, having only one of them doesn't guarantee a victory against such a big guy.

“...We usually call this kind of... [pseudo-Pokémon Overlord].” Brock said with an extremely serious expression.

"When the natural environment is damaged."

"When a large number of Pokémon die."

"When they gather."

"The power of prayer will call for the divine to descend."

"Some call this natural anger."

"Some people call this divine punishment."

"Some people call this karma retribution."

"The most significant manifestation of this is that a Pokémon that is incredibly powerful but hostile to humans will appear."

“I’ve only heard of it; this is the first time I’ve ever seen it.”

Xiao Gang explained to Xiao Xia and Xiao Zhi.

This kind of thing was common before the alliance was formed, but it has become rare since the alliance was formed.

I never expected to witness something like this happen in person.

"In any case, it's better for us to retreat first."

Chapter 70 is coming! [God]

Dead Leaf City.

Sakuragi Research Institute.

The piercing alarm shattered the institute's usual tranquility.

The previously stable energy waveform on the main screen suddenly spiked, turning into a ferocious peak that almost broke through the display limit.

The red warning sign was flashing wildly.

"PhD!"

"Ultra-high energy level reactions detected in coastal areas!"

"The location... is the construction site of Granny Jin's Paradise Park!" The assistant's voice was filled with disbelief and panic.

Dr. Sakuragi abruptly looked up from the data screen, his glasses reflecting a blinding red light.

He strode to the control panel, his face so grave it could drip water: "Energy property analysis! Quickly!"

"Unable to fully analyze! But the life force and... anger contained within far exceed conventional standards!" The assistant frantically operated the computer. "Wait... Dr. Zheng Hui and the Vermilion Gym are simultaneously receiving encrypted communication requests!"

"Bring them in!" Dr. Sakuragi said without hesitation.

Three windows were instantly split on the screen.

On the left is Dr. Zheng Hui's slightly pale face, with his iconic lighthouse control room in the background.

The person on the right is Ma Tsz-Shi.

He had already changed into that familiar camouflage vest, and behind him, one could almost see the restless figures of Raichu and other main Pokémon.

"Sakuragi! You detected it too?" Masahiro's voice came through the electricity, carrying a hint of rapid breathing and the excited tremor unique to researchers.

"That's it!"

"It's definitely the power it left behind!"

"The samples I have stored here, extracted from that day's seawater, are emitting unprecedentedly strong light and energy!"

Dr. Sakuragi held up a sealed, transparent container.

Inside, a small clump of azure liquid was boiling and glowing violently, as if it were living things, resonating wildly with some distant being.

"A giant Dragonite?" Professor Sakuragi understood instantly.

As Pokémon professors, they are all very knowledgeable... and their premonitions already made them think of the first thing that came to mind.

But this problem is getting a bit bad now.

"Besides that legendary power, what else could trigger such a massive ecological energy outburst?!" Zheng Hui's tone was almost fanatical, but it was quickly replaced by worry.

"But it only 'lent' power; what truly caused the commotion was another being... an aggregate filled with rage and destructive desire!"

Dr. Zheng Hui can confirm that the giant Dragonite was given power by targeting the seawater.

This is what caused the energy reaction in his seawater sample.

"Damn it! That old idiot Jin must have done something heinous!" Ma Zhishi's angry curses rang out like thunder.

He roughly stuffed the last few high-grade balls into his waistband.

Shouting at the screen:

"I knew that old woman wouldn't stay still!"

"That's fucking troublesome!"

"She's dead this time!"

"I said!"

"You guys stay here, I'm taking the main force to check it out!"

Lt. Surge knew very well that the construction site would clash with the Pokémon's habitat.

But so what?

Conflicts exist between humans, and conflicts also exist between Pokémon. It's perfectly normal for friction and conflict to occur in the lives of humans and Pokémon.

As long as it's not too outrageous, nobody cares.

Because there are too many to manage.

But the fact that this situation has occurred proves that something absolutely outrageous has been done.

Just as Mascherano was about to cut off the communication, another urgent communication request came in.

A line of text appeared on the screen.

[Urgent Communication - Pokémon Pokédex from Ash Ketchum, Pallet Town]

Maslow paused, his brow furrowing. "Hmm? That kid?"

"Bring them in!" Dr. Sakuragi immediately ordered.

Ash's face appears on the fourth split screen, with a background of howling winds and surging waves on the coast.

His hair and clothes were completely soaked, and his face was splattered with mud, but his eyes were unusually calm and determined.

The Pikachu on its shoulder bristled, and its electric sac flashed wildly.

"Mr. Mascherano! Thank goodness we were able to get in touch with you!"

"Huh? Professor Sakuragi? Professor George?" Ash was slightly surprised when he saw the multi-party communication on the screen.

But the situation was urgent, so he spoke very quickly.

"Long story short!"

"Grandma Jin used poison to lure and poison agate jellyfish and stinging jellyfish on a large scale, which attracted the power of a giant dragonite and caused some kind of mutation!"

"A gigantic Tentacle jellyfish has appeared, exceeding sixty meters in size, and its energy reaction is extremely terrifying!"

"It has completely gone berserk!"

Ash quickly turned the camera behind him.

Although the image was blurred by the violent shaking and splashing water.

But in that one glance...

The towering, menacing shadow of the giant stinging jellyfish, as imposing as a skyscraper, and its enormous eyes burning with crimson, destructive light, still sent a shiver down the spines of the three well-traveled adults on the other side of the screen.

"Sixty meters?! A pseudo-overlord?!" Dr. Sakuragi gasped. "It's gigantic!"

"As expected! It's the power of Dragonite mixed with the resentment and the instinct for help of the jellyfish swarm..." Zheng Hui muttered to himself, staring at the sample in his hand that was boiling even more violently.

"It is now confirmed... that Poseidon-type Pokémon have the function of acting as agents of divine authority..."

"...However, the giant size of the Tentacruel...this is different from the previous records of pseudo-overlords."

"...Is it because the Tentacles jellyfish's body is 99% water?"

"...This is a major research discovery."

Dr. Zheng Hui, however, focused on other key aspects.

then.

"Ah—" Dr. Zhenghui screamed in agony.

Suddenly, Gardevoir next to him jabbed Dr. Bright's kidneys with its hand.

"Garde!" Gardevoir was a little angry; now was not the time to do research.

"Sorry everyone, it's just my habit..." Dr. Zheng Hui's voice trailed off.

But nobody paid any attention to him.

"Damn it!" Ma Zhishi's curses grew even louder.

Veins bulged on his forehead. "That old hag Jin is insane!"

"She really dared to do that!"

"Kids! How are you guys?"

"Don't fucking try to tough it out!"

"That thing can't be dealt with in a regular battle!"

"Don't provoke it into further destruction of the city!"

"I'll bring the main force right away!"

"Leave everything else to me."

Maslow is a very responsible person.

This is also the origin of the identity, status, and power of each city's dojo master.

If something really serious happens, they will be the first to step up and take charge.

"We're alright for now!" Ash's voice was mixed with the roar of the wind and waves.

"Brock and Misty are assisting in the evacuation of tourists and Pokémon that may be affected!"

"Its primary targets now are Granny Jin and this construction site!"

"But I'm worried that it will run into the city if it gets completely out of control!"

These stinging jellyfish are victims.

Their revenge is naturally sacred and just.

but--

Ash wasn't sure if the giant jellyfish would go berserk after taking revenge on Granny.

The chain of hatred is not something that can be broken easily.

When it comes to hatred... it's normal to take it out on others.
