Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master

"It's said to be the shortest distance, but it's still a straight-line distance of thirty kilometers. Is that even the fastest speed the ship can go?"

Once on the open sea, Ash could feel even more acutely the impending destruction of the world.

The rain poured down, and huge waves, sometimes tens of meters high, came one after another. Ash activated his Valkyrie and Riding abilities at the same time.

They had already pushed the speedboat to its limits to barely avoid several waves.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your riding ability has increased from 4 to 5 (speed increases by 10% when riding a mount, even inorganic objects!)]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on your ability to transform your unarmed combat skills from level 3 to 4 (no tool usage will stump you anymore; your accuracy and power increase by 25% when throwing attacks)]

Having dodged another wave, Ash's Pokédex suddenly rang. When he answered, he was surprised to hear Professor Oak's voice.

"Ash, I have bad news for you. The Orange region might be doomed!"

"I already knew about this!" Not only is the Orange Islands world potentially doomed.

"Oh, how did you know?"

According to Professor Oak, a peculiar magnetic field emanated from a certain location in the Orange League.

The blackout plunged three regions, including the Orange Islands and the nearest Kanto and Johto regions, into a state of widespread power outage.

Furthermore, abnormal weather patterns have emerged around the world, with sudden downpours, hailstorms, and then bursts of sunshine and auroras.

The Pokémon also headed towards a certain place in groups.

"Based on the calculations on my instrument, we found that the source of the magnetic field is near Asia Island in the Orange Islands."

"And it is precisely from there that the deep ocean currents have changed, which is why the climate around the world is so strange."

"I'm calling to remind you not to go to Asia Island and to take good care of yourself. Your mother is very worried about your safety."

As he spoke, the sound of Professor Oak banging on the generator could be heard through the microphone.

"Speaking of which, why is it raining so loud where you are? Are you getting soaked outside?"

"Doctor, you're too late. I'm on Asia Island now. Please tell my mother that her son is off to save the world and she shouldn't worry."

"Huh, what..."

Xiao Zhi immediately hung up the phone, and at that moment another giant wave, tens of meters high, crashed towards him.

Against the backdrop of the huge waves, Ash's speedboat drifted aimlessly like a leaf.

After narrowly avoiding the rain in his small boat, Ash suddenly realized that the rain had stopped.

"Sure enough, the rain was so heavy just now, but now the sky is cloudless."

The weather was strange, and the sea was still very rough.

"This is never going to end! I've decided on you guys!"

"Gyarados, Dragonite, use Hyper Beam to disperse all the waves!"

The waves were instantly calmed by two powerful yellow beams of light, and then a gigantic steel Magikarp fell from them.

"This looks familiar." Ash pried open the tin can and pulled out the trio who had been unconscious for some time.

Wake him up with a series of slaps.

"Meow, boss, we almost died!"

"Ever since we were swept up by the Magikarp army, we haven't come out of the sea," Kojiro and the others cried, clinging to Ash's legs as soon as they woke up.

These three idiots won't die no matter what.

"Where are Yamato and Kosaburo?"

"Those two bastards stole the diving suits and ran away!" Musashi gritted his teeth, touching the bag on his head.

The bumps on their heads were caused by Amazon.

Reluctantly, Ash had no choice but to take them in for the time being, letting the trio drive the boat while he focused on dealing with the waves.

However, Kojiro and the others were still very useful. Meowth took out a hammer and started banging on the ship.

They directly modified an ordinary small boat, doubling its speed.

Ash and his crew are riding the waves at lightning speed!

After overcoming numerous hardships, they finally arrived at the Island of Fire.

To be precise, it was washed ashore by the waves, and Xiaomei's boat was basically totaled. "Let's buy her a new boat later."

Quickly, Xiao Zhi took out the map and followed the instructions to start from the stairs at the entrance.

Next, all you need to do is climb to the top of the highest mountain on Fire Island and take a precious orb with flames burning inside from the temple there.

When Ash and his friends braved the strong winds to reach the mountaintop, a speedboat with its sails raised suddenly appeared from the passageway beside them.

"Land-based ships? You're also a Roman Sultan!"

Ash had to run and jump up so many stone steps to reach the top of the mountain, and Kojiro and the others were exhausted trying to keep up with him.

The ship, propelled by the wind, sailed up the river.

"Meow, how come we didn't think of doing this!"

And coming down from above were none other than Flurla and Misty, whom Ash knew well.

"How did you get here? And how did you manage to cross those huge waves and arrive here safely?"

"Children of Asia Island grow up in the sea; those waves are just lullabies to me, easy to cross," Flura said proudly.

"Besides, I am the priestess of the sea god. As the one who requested you to undergo the trial, of course I have to come and keep you company."

The reason they came here was because Xiaoxia was all talk and no action.

Despite saying she didn't care about Ash, she couldn't help but worry and finally begged Flura to come along in the boat.

Then, Flula, with its skill in navigating boats and riding the wind, easily caught up with Ash's journey.

"That's incredible, young lady!"

It's even stronger than Ash, who relies on special abilities.

"By the way, who are those people over there?" Fluura asked curiously, pointing to Kojiro and the others who were exhausted on the ground.

"Hey, little girl, isn't describing it as a puddle a bit too much!"

"They are my helpers, don't worry about them."

Now is not the time to talk about this. Ash quickly went to take away the Fire God's treasure enshrined in the mountaintop shrine.

The Fire God's Treasure is a crystal ball the size of a palm, but it is very mysterious because of the flame-like patterns burning inside.

[Ding! Obtained the item "Vulcan Orb": When given to a Pokémon, it increases the power of Fire-type moves by 30%]

"It's gotten so much stronger!" Ash almost wanted to keep it for himself, but he couldn't; saving the world was the priority.

"Next, we should just go to Thunder Island and Ice Island to collect the remaining treasures, right?"

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

At that moment, Pikachu seemed to sense something and immediately panicked, grabbing its hat and running to Ash's feet.

Ash also sensed a very powerful force rapidly approaching.

The force drew ever closer, ever closer, until it descended from the sky.

"Get down!"

He immediately pounced and pinned Xiaoxia and Flura to the ground, as a powerful bolt of lightning swept across their heads.

"Eat, eat!"

A clear bird song rang out, and it turned out to be an enormous yellow, flat-feathered bird.

"This looks like a Zapdos, but isn't it a bit too big?"

Xia cautiously peeked out to take a look, and was immediately shocked.

After Zapdos descended from the sky, it unleashed its lightning indiscriminately on the island of fire.

Each lightning strike was as thick as a large stone pillar, and when it struck the mysterious pile of stones surrounding the Fire Island Temple, it resonated with the light.

The entire mountaintop emitted an eerie blue glow after being struck by lightning.

"How did Zapdos get here?"

Chapter 153 Zapdos is a Delinquent

While Zapdos was wreaking havoc on Fire Island, an uninvited guest quietly arrived from the sky.

A massive aerial fortress was slowly moving toward Ash and his friends' location.

"Don't worry, God of Fire, that silly yellow bird will come to keep you company soon."

Gilluta looked at the firebird struggling in the prison formed by the rings and laughed with pleasure.

The Moltres is now in despair. It had already sensed in the fortress that the three stone tablets possessed by Gilluta had the same attributes as the three legendary birds.

That's tough enough to deal with.

However, as long as Zapdos stays on its own island, it's not impossible for it to win with the Thunder God Orb's boost.

But that idiot actually took advantage of Moltres's absence and scurried off to Fire Island to seize territory.

"Ugh, ugh!" (That idiot, I won't let him get away with this once we get out of here!)

"Great energy! He must be excited about his upcoming partner, hahaha!"

Gilluta's eyes were fixed on the Zapdos in the holographic projection, as if it were already his.

Meanwhile, near the Temple of Fire, Zapdos calmed down and landed on the temple's stone platform.

As it admired its new territory, a small bolt of lightning suddenly struck, and it turned around in surprise to find that it was a little mouse.

"Pikachu, what are you doing?"

Ash was initially thinking that Zapdos didn't seem interested in them.

Then let's slip away quietly and go to Thunder Island to get the treasure first.

But unexpectedly, Pikachu suddenly struck Zapdos with a bolt of lightning, and continued to strike even after Zapdos noticed it.

The electric current was continuously struck at the Zapdos.

"Does Pikachu want to battle Zapdos?"

Kojiro and Jessie, who were hiding behind Ash, were terrified by the terrifying lightning strike and just wanted to get away as quickly as possible.

"No, Pikachu is communicating with Zapdos."

"Meow Meow Translation!"

Ash's aura can only sense a Pokémon's emotions, but he still needs a translator to accurately understand his partner's meaning.

"Meow, Pikachu said this is Moltres' island, why are you doing something so awful?"

"Yay, yay!" Zapdos immediately responded by sending a powerful electric current at Pikachu.

"The ruler of this island is gone, and the territory has lost its master, so of course I can take it over. I will be the new master of this place from now on!"

"Meow, that's what Zapdos said." Suddenly, a look of panic appeared on Meowth's face.

"Meow, Zapdos seems angry because Pikachu dared to question it!"

"Eat, eat!"

"It said that with your attitude, you must want to fight me, right? That's terrible for Yoru..."

"Meow, what should I do?" Meow was so scared that she was completely at a loss.

"What kind of god is this? He's so petty and narrow-minded, just like a delinquent!"

Seeing Zapdos spread its wings and release a powerful electric current that filled the sky once again, Ash quickly took out his Poké Balls to prepare for battle.

"Pikachu, use..."

Suddenly, the moonlight was blocked out, and the massive shadow of the fortress enveloped Ash and his friends.

It's Gilluta.

"What is this thing?" Xiaoxia stared in shock at the flying palace in the sky, which was even larger than a mountain.
