Chapter 159 Ash Ketchum, the Savior of the World
Then Lugia appeared just in time to Ash's side, blocking most of the attacks for him.
"Young man, please go forward! I will do my best to help you!" Lugia can communicate with Ash through telepathy.
It seems that the God of the Sea is indeed quite special.
After all, many legendary Pokémon want to communicate with humans, but they have to control talking Pokémon like Meowth to do so, while Lugia can do it on its own.
"Please, Lugia!"
Perhaps realizing that Ash would be done once he retrieved the treasure from Ice Island, the three legendary birds attacked even more fiercely than before.
Although Lugia took the brunt of most of the attacks for Ash, some still managed to penetrate its defenses.
At this point, Ash's Pokémon will step in to stop them.
Moltres unleashes its flamethrower, and all the Pokémon work together to launch a Water-type move.
Pikachu redirected Zapdos's Thunderbolt attack to Majestic Fang, making it a perfect Ground-type for the job.
The most cunning Articuno will often sneakily fly to the other side and fire its freezing beam.
At this point, the flamethrowers released by Dragonite and Gyarados neutralized the damage, but Lugia took the brunt of the damage.
Thanks to the help of his friends, Ash only needs to focus on moving forward.
Ash arrived at Ice Island, a distance of 50 kilometers, in just half an hour.
Under the cover of the Pokémon, he quickly rushed into the shrine and pulled the Ice Orb off the altar.
[Ding! Obtained the item "Ice God Orb": When given to a Pokémon, it increases the power of Ice-type moves by 30%]
"Okay, I finally got it!"
But when Ash looked up, he saw that the situation didn't seem very optimistic; Lugia was covered in wounds.
Their Pokémon were also very tired.
But the three divine birds in the sky still looked tireless and menacing.
Having no other choice, Ash took out all his best-kept high-level healing potions and stuffed them into the mouths of the Pokémon one by one.
He had already bought all the high-level healing potions in the system shop.
But just as he was about to throw the potion to Lugia, the three legendary birds attacked again.
Lugia, already severely injured, was unable to dodge in time and was shot down into the sea.
"Luggia!"
The three divine birds continued to attack the spot where it fell.
Finally, they completely sealed off the sea, preventing Lugia from flying up again.
The journey to Ice Island was smooth thanks to Lugia's protection, but the road back to the central island will likely be much more dangerous.
But having come this far, Ash naturally wouldn't back down.
"The last stretch! Getting back to the center island is victory!" Ash encouraged his friends and immediately started the return journey.
However, without Lugia, it is indeed much worse than before.
The three legendary birds charged towards Ash without any resistance, leaving his Pokémon with no choice but to fight back.
Ash also joined in the effort to stop them, but they still suffered losses very quickly.
The first one was Dragonite being ambushed and taken down by the cunning Articuno, which also took away Majestic Tooth.
With Majestic Fang now offline due to a sneak attack, Zapdos's massive area-of-effect lightning strikes pose a significant threat.
There are both advantages and disadvantages to the size of the dragon.
The advantage is that it can carry more people, and its strength and endurance have made great progress.
The downside, of course, is that a larger target makes it easier for others to hit.
Sure enough, Lapras quickly swung its back, throwing its companions to safety, while it was knocked unconscious by Zapdos's thunder attack.
Ash quickly recalled the Pokémon, which had lost its ability to battle, back into its Poké Ball.
But without giving it the slightest chance to breathe, Moltres's attacks came one after another.
Squirtle, Gyarados, Sculptor, and Onix all used Hydro Pump at the same time to catch Moltres's Flamethrower.
But Squirtle and Sculptor are also offline.
"Don't go too far!" Ash was completely enraged as he watched his Pokémon fall one after another.
"Whether I win or not, I'm going to give you three stinky birds a good beating!"
He had no intention of escaping; his aura continued to rise, and his muscles bulged larger and larger.
And directly stuffed 80% of the Aura Power into Suicune's body.
"Stop slacking off, you damn dog, get up and fight!"
"Oh no! I'm stuffed!" Suicune almost couldn't hold it in and vomited, so she quickly went to Ash's side.
"Here comes my dear master!"
Raising the Crystal Onix and the Golden Gyarados as weapons, a new pair of swords was born.
Have Gyarados stack Dragon Dance and be ready to activate Guardian at any time, while simultaneously enchanting Onix with Crystallize.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your trait has increased from LV2 to LV3 (The area of 'Typical Crystallization' can now cover your entire body!)]
[The Crystallization ability now allows for free attribute changes! (Great value for money, 50 Alliance Coins/time.)]
"Robbery!"
But Ash had no choice but to accept his fate and adapt to the situation in the battle by giving Onix different attributes.
"Pikachu is responsible for guarding against Articuno's unpredictable ice shards, while Pikachu just needs to keep moving at high speed and use Water Gun as a guerrilla turret."
Wielding two enormous objects, each over ten meters long, Ash leaped up and attacked Moltres, which was charging towards him using Flame Charge.
Gyarados used Tide Whirl to wrap water around its entire body, and Ash changed Onix's Crystal type from Electric to Water.
Moltres was caught off guard by the sudden attack and was knocked down from the sky by Ash, crashing into the ice and creating a large crater.
Suicune's massive water cannon briefly suppressed it, while Ash, wielding two large sticks, descended from the sky and furiously smashed the Moltres in the pit.
[Ding! Lazhu: Affection +2; Intimacy +2]
Gyarados: Affection +2; Friendship +2
At that moment, Zapdos's Thunderstrike struck Ash from behind.
Ash immediately lifted Gyarados and shouted, "Use Protect!"
Gyarados's Protect was successfully activated.
This gave Ash an opportunity, and he quickly swung his Lava Ball to knock down Zapdos as well.
Then it quickly jumped onto Zapdos and started smashing it all over again.
Zapdos, however, is much fiercer, never forgetting to retaliate even when attacked.
Thunderbolt kept slamming towards Ash, and Gyarados's Protect move was extremely prone to failure if used repeatedly.
Ash's golden Gyarados was completely blackened by electricity, so he had to put it back into its Poké Ball.
Meanwhile, Onix, whose type was changed to Ground, was completely unharmed and continued to serve as Ash's weapon. Ash used his left hand to break bricks and his right hand to beat Zapdos until it was covered in bumps.
Instead, he completely disregarded the electric shocks that struck Ash in his rage.
The more damage he inflicts, the more satisfied he becomes, and the more viciously he attacks.
The warm current flowing from his chest seemed to be constantly healing Ash's injuries, allowing him to continue attacking for longer.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your ability has been upgraded from Undying Body lv3 to lv4 (reduces the power of Pokémon moves by 15%).]
At this moment, Articuno and Moltres attacked at the same time. While Suicune was trying to catch Moltres, Articuno caught him and used an Ice Beam to control his movements.
Luckily, Pikachu arrived in time to break the ice, otherwise Suicune would have been offline too.
What's most annoying about these gods is their terrifying regenerative abilities.
Moltres and Zapdos were hit by Ash like that, and they were fully recovered in the blink of an eye.
After a battle, Ash retreated steadily towards the center island.
Ash was starting to feel the strain on Onix, so he put it back into its Poké Ball.
Next, Suicune and Pikachu provided cover, while Ash used his body to withstand the attacks of the three legendary birds.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your ability has been upgraded from Undying Body Lv4 to Iv5 (reduces the power of Pokémon moves by 20%).]
But Ash couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed from exhaustion ten kilometers from the center island.
"Is this the end?"
"No!"
With sheer willpower, Ash stood up once more. With only half an hour left, he was determined to crawl to the center island.
Suddenly, a beautiful melody came from the center of the altar.
Xiaoxia and Flula have finally finished drawing their magic circle.
Flora stood in the center of the magic circle and began playing the music of the sea god's ritual.
Deep in the ocean, Lugia, who had been seriously injured and unconscious, was healed by colorful light after hearing the music.
It once again broke through the ice on the sea surface and flew above Ash to block the attack for him.
"Lugia is back."
But Ash's body was already nearing its limit, and he was moving very slowly.
There are 20 minutes left, and 10 kilometers to go.
At that moment, Kojiro and his friends, with their repaired speedboat, were speeding towards Ash's location.
A drift brought it to a smooth stop beside him. "Heave-ho, heave-ho, one, two, three, move!"
They loaded Ash, Suicune, and Pikachu onto the speedboat, and with Lugia's cover, they successfully returned to the center island.
Ash, having recovered somewhat, recalled Suicune into its Poké Ball, then jumped off the boat with Pikachu in his arms.
"You did a great job this time! Kojiro, Musashi, and Meowth, you'll get a bonus equivalent to twelve months' salary."
The trio was overjoyed.
"Long live Ash Ketchum!" ×3
Ash quickly ran up to the altar and placed all three gems in their corresponding positions in the shrine.
"Ugh!"
As Flora played her flute and Lugia cried out, green light surged from the stone pillars surrounding the shrine.
These green lights flowed outwards like a tide representing life.
The three legendary birds stopped fighting Lugia after a while.
The surrounding mountains, plains, and islands, which were originally frozen, have become lush and green. The central island is covered with flowers, creating a breathtaking scene that leaves everyone in awe.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the legendary quest "Brave young man, go save the world!": The world is currently facing a crisis of destruction. Please go and stop the apocalypse.]
