Chapter 153 Zapdos
The waves were so high on the way to Fire Island that Ash couldn't even keep his hat on properly and had to give it to Pikachu for safekeeping.
"It's said to be the shortest distance, but it's still a straight-line distance of thirty kilometers. Damn it, is the ship already going at its fastest speed?"
Once on the open sea, Ash could feel even more acutely the impending destruction of the world.
Heavy rain and towering waves, sometimes tens of meters high, followed one after another. Ash activated his Valkyrie and Riding abilities together.
They had already pushed the speedboat to its limits to barely avoid several waves.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, your riding ability has increased from lv4 to lv5 (speed increases by 10% when riding a mount, even inorganic objects!)]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on your ability to transform your unarmed combat skills from Iv3 to Iv4 (You're now proficient in using tools; 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, freezing temperatures, and then unexpected sunshine and auroras.
The Pokémon also headed towards a certain place in groups.
"Based on the measurements from my instruments, we found that the source of the magnetic field is near Asia Island in the Orange Islands."
"And it is precisely from that point 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 the islands of Asia 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."
"Ah, 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 torrential rain just now has turned into a cloudless sky."
The weather was strange, and the sea was still very rough.
"This is never going to end! You're the ones I've decided on!"
"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!"
"We haven't come out of the sea since we were swept up by the Magikarp army," 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 Amazon and Kosaburo?"
"Those two bastards stole the diving suits and ran away!" Musashi gritted his teeth, rubbing the bump 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 boat.
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 a Roman Sultan too!"
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, why didn't we think of doing that!"
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, so those waves are just lullabies to me. It's a piece of cake for me," Flora said proudly. "Besides, I am the priestess of the sea god. As the one who asked you to undergo this 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, girl!"
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, isn't describing it as a puddle a bit too much, little girl!"
"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 held by a Pokémon, it increases the power of Fire-type moves by 30%]
"It's gotten so much stronger!" Ash wanted to keep it for himself, but he couldn't; saving the world was more important.
"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.
"land,!"
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?"
