Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

Ash looked at the ravaged coastline, then at the jellyfish that looked utterly helpless after losing their power, and suddenly asked:

“Mr. Lt. Surge, is this sea area... important to Konoha City?”

Xiao Zhi had an idea.

An idea that fits the tone of this world very well.

"Important?" Ma Xueshi raised an eyebrow, casually picking at his ear, looking completely unconcerned.

"What's the big deal?!"

"Kuroba City already has commercial beaches, and there are only so many tourists. If we build more hotels, no one will stay!"

Lt. Surge knew very well that if he really wanted to attract high-end customers, his Pokémon Club was the key.

"This lousy place, Granny Jin was just burning money and wanted to try something new."

He glanced at the trembling jellyfish: "What, kid, you have an idea?"

Ash took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over Zygarde's cells and the swarm of terrified jellyfish, and proposed a bold idea:

"Since this coastline has little development value, and they just want a place to live... could we fulfill our agreement in a different way?"

"For example... right here, how about building a [jellyfish-themed amusement park hotel]?"

"Let these stinging jellyfish and agate jellyfish become the hotel's special 'staff' and 'landscape'."

"They can live freely in this area and even have limited, safe interactions with tourists."

"Using this method to exchange for their 'right' to remain here?"

If possible, Ash would still like to see humans and Pokémon live in harmony.

Some things don't need to be done too harshly.

Even if the bet is completed, the winner isn't obligated to fulfill it, right?

But you definitely can't be generous with other people's money in this kind of thing.

After all, it was Maslow who fought hard and emerged victorious.

It is only feasible if Ma Xueshi agrees.

If Lt. Surge disagrees... Satoshi cannot make the decision for him.

After listening, Ma Xueshi stroked his prickly stubble and grinned, "Heh! Interesting!"

"Let Pokémon work in exchange for habitat?"

"You've got a quick mind, kid!"

"Fine, I don't care!"

"Anyway, this place is just sitting empty, so it's better to have something new to offer than for it to fall into disrepair!"

Of course, Lt. Surge wasn't simply listening to Satoshi's words.

He also took into account the impact of the giant Dragonite.

Now that the giant Dragonite, the king of the sea, has come, Vermilion City must make a gesture.

A giant Dragonite might not be necessary, but Vermilion City cannot remain silent.

As a giant Dragonite, it is quite different from the absolutely neutral Zygarde.

This is the conclusion that Lt. Surge reached from the perspective of the guardian of Koba City.

Surely no one actually thinks he's brainless?

He was rude, not reckless.

As the saying goes, "A tiger in the heart, yet a rose in the hand."

As a qualified trainer, Lt. Surge naturally loves Pokémon.

Even in the rigorous dojo matches, he can only injure, not kill.

With Ma Xueshi's consent.

Ash mustered his courage and turned his gaze to the reef: "Zygard... the Arbitrator."

"Does this plan align with the 'order' you uphold?"

"By fulfilling the agreement that the defeated must pay the price, and avoiding the suffering of forced migration, perhaps... a new balance can be achieved?"

The emerald-colored cells floated silently, shimmering with a faint light, as if assessing the feasibility of the proposal.

A moment later, the cold voice rang out again, but it seemed to carry a hint of... tacit approval.

Zygarde Cell looked at Ash and recorded his appearance.

[...the plan...does not violate established rules...]

[...permission to...negotiate...]

Permission has been obtained.

Ash immediately looked at the lead Tentacruel and tried to convey the suggestion with clear and simple thoughts and gestures: "Stay...work...in exchange for a home...is that okay?"

Surprisingly, the stinging jellyfish and its swarms acted with almost no hesitation.

For wild Pokémon, the victor has the right to dominate the vanquished; it is an instinctual law.

It is only natural to obey the arrangements of the strong, especially since this arrangement allows them to remain in their homeland.

"Woo!"

"agate!"

The stinging jellyfish struggled to raise its head and let out a call of agreement, while the swarm of agate jellyfish behind it also surfaced, making soft echoes, filled with the relief of surviving a disaster and the joy of having a home.

That's the end of it all.

It's really gratifying, gratifying and congratulatory.

As for certain people who are not important or need not be cared about, they do not need further attention.

a few days later.

The sea breeze still carried a faint salty smell, but it no longer carried the despair and rage of before. Instead, it was mixed with a hint of the vitality of reconstruction and a faint sense of jubilation.

Grandma Kim's ambitious "Paradise Park" ruins were not completely leveled.

Instead, at Xiaozhi's insightful suggestion, it was preserved to the greatest extent possible.

After all, it's about making use of waste.

Broken steel bars, crumbling cement blocks, and even those eerie purple mudflats that were once soaked in venom have all been cleverly incorporated into the new design blueprint.

This world has Psychic-type Pokémon, and some, like Alakazam and Metagross, have a thought speed that rivals that of a supercomputer.

After Xiaozhi and Lt. Surge discussed and finalized the plan, Lt. Surge hired professionals to design it.

They come up with solutions very quickly.

After the plan was finalized, construction proceeded very quickly.

Because there are also Pokémon in the construction industry.

Typical examples include wrist strength, super strength, superhuman strength, young porter, iron-willed earthman, and veteran construction worker.

Humans and Pokémon coexist in every aspect of life.

When Pokémon are involved in industries other than those of trainers, their involvement in human society becomes even more apparent.

Not all Pokémon are good at or enjoy battling.

Not everyone can become a trainer.

It wasn't used for more than a few days.

It was roughly built into the core landscape of an open-air memorial plaza.

Its main function is to silently tell the story of the disasters caused by greed and the power of nature's backlash, constantly warning future generations.

In the world of Pokémon, there are gods.

Therefore, if humans in this world destroy nature, then nature's counterattack will be very direct.

Let's draw our fists and start fighting!

After witnessing the awe-inspiring sight of the giant stinging jellyfish.

...Xiao Zhi really felt it was necessary to record this kind of large-scale disaster movie.

This is why Mascherano stopped the giant stinging jellyfish.

What if this happened in some other small city and they couldn't stop it?

Taking the Kanto League as an example, there are actually more than 8 gyms.

However, these 8 gyms are the strongest 8 gyms.

Even if the Cerulean Gym is embarrassing, it's only ranked last among the top-tier gyms.

Powerful gym leaders, such as Lt. Surge, can rival the Pokémon Overlords.

But this doesn't mean that dojo owners in smaller cities can do it too.

Legend has it that Pokémon can temporarily grant ordinary Pokémon power, directly enhancing them to a level similar to that of a Pokémon Overlord.

This can be considered a method of mass-producing powerful individuals.

The fact that this is possible proves that legendary Pokémon are far stronger than these Pokémon Overlords.

Then think of the gods who stand at the top of the world.

As a giant Dragonite, it is definitely not as strong as its boss, Ocean King Kyogre.

Ash remembered the scene where, once Kyogre awakened, it could cause torrential rain to fall across the entire planet.

...This is something that ordinary people can't handle at all.

It is located in the most prominent position by the sea in the square.

The base of a huge statue is being poured.

That was Lt. Surge's most prized Raichu, leaping into the air in a decisive "Iron Tail" stance, with a stinging jellyfish writhing in pain and its tentacles crumbling beneath its feet.

The statue has a sharp and powerful design.

Maszewicz himself would come to supervise the construction almost every day, embracing his muscular arms and laughing heartily with satisfaction at the nascent statue.

"Yes! That's it!"

"Lift your chin up a bit more, you bastard!"

"That's the kind of domineering aura we're looking for!"

"Let everyone who comes see clearly that it was Laozi and Raichu who won this battle!"

"Hahahaha!"

His loud laughter echoed across the beach; he was clearly enjoying the display of this "great achievement."

When I was in the army, what soldiers wanted was honor.

What's wrong with having a good reputation?

Why make selfless contributions?

What I want is to become famous!

The point is to tell everyone – as long as you do real work, no one will forget you!

Set an example to show everyone that having desires is not shameful!

We must let everyone know that hard work pays off!

Although the main construction of the large-scale jellyfish-themed hotel is still some time away, a creative pilot platform at sea has already been completed.

This is a wide wooden platform extending into the sea, decorated with ocean-themed flags and soft lighting, and the surrounding railings are specially designed to make it easy for water-type Pokémon to approach.

tonight.

This is where the elite trainers of Vermilion City gather.
