Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 994 The Six Disappointing Heroes

Pingdie Town is a small town not far from Zhuotai City.

Ash and his three Pokémon reunited at the Pokémon Center's restaurant.

After helping Molly deal with the rampaging Flounder affected by the nearby Rak element, the group took a short rest here.

By the way, Molly refused to rejoin the Ascended Volt Attack Team now, and Fried, unwilling to give up, went to persuade her...

Let's have a short meeting during this time.

"So, the previous information was false information reported by Spot's fans?" Ash asked helplessly.

“That’s right, but this time it wasn’t a complete waste.” Rico smiled.

Although the other party initially expressed obvious aversion and rejection when they heard that Riko and her group were the Ascended Volt Attack Team.

However, during their battle with Riko, they came to understand each other's feelings. The other also let go of their prejudices.

“So, as long as we do the right thing, we will definitely gain everyone’s understanding.” Roy nodded.

"Very good, it wasn't a wasted trip." Xiao Zhi nodded, his gaze sweeping over the counter, where Molly, now dressed in a nurse's uniform, was doing the work of Miss Joy.

Sure enough, this person was a girl from the Joy family. However, she seemed to possess a greater spirit of adventure and rebellion.

“Actually, although Rayquaza is my dream, I think we should focus on investigating the Rak element first,” Roy wisely suggested.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Ash sighed. "I went to the Padia Crater yesterday. The seal leading to the innermost part, that layer, hasn't been broken by Genbu Talebagos."

"Huh?" The three little ones turned around in surprise.

"Didn't Miss Qingya say that Xuanwu was the ancestor of Talebagos? How could this be..." Riko asked incredulously.

“That’s exactly why.” Ash spread his hands. “The power of Xuanwu directly affects the Zero Void. But the outer layer of matter, if nothing unexpected happens, is the most tightly structured concentrated crystal of Lac element. Only the Talebages, as the extender, has a way to break through it.”

"Then let Baggogo give it a try?" Rico asked hesitantly.

"Not yet." Xiao Zhi shook his head: "According to Qingya's latest data, the concentration of Lac element in the core area far exceeds that of Laqua. With the current state of Talebagas, I'm afraid one person alone cannot shake it."

"In other words..." Roy suddenly realized, "At least six heroes need to work together!"

"That's right." Ash covered his face, feeling like he was the one who had been wronged. If he had known that the six heroes hadn't been used up yet, he would have intervened and kept them there.

Now, Rayquaza's whereabouts are unknown, while the other five have been taken by Spinner.

The problem is, you can't just go and steal it back now; that would be no different from burglary...

"Therefore, our main goal next is to investigate the source of the leak of Lak element while searching for evidence of the exploration team's misuse of Lak element."

In this process, as the main entities that induce Spinner to reveal his weaknesses, I cannot protect you at all times.

"Let's work hard to get stronger and find an opportunity to recapture the six heroes." Ash patted Riko and the others on the shoulder.

"It's up to you guys."

"Yes, teacher!" The three little ones nodded earnestly in response.

"Alright, get out!!" Fried was shoved roughly out of the room at the door of the lounge.

Xiao Zhi and the others couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

"I'm sorry everyone, Molly can't come back to us for the time being." Fried scratched his head awkwardly.

"After all, it took a lot of determination to disband them." Ash sighed. "Let's take it slow. Only when Riko and the others can stand on their own can Team Ascended be fully revived!"

“Teacher, we will try our best.” Rico and Roy nodded to each other.

"Next, I will return to the academy to conduct in-depth research. It seems that Professor Bai Leiya has also made new discoveries."

"To completely resolve the issue of the Lac element, we need more investigation and research," Fried explained to Ash and the others.

"So, I'll have to leave the rest of the investigation and training to you, Ash."

“He was my student to begin with.” Xiao Zhi shrugged.

“But, chasing after the rampage caused by the Lak element like this isn’t a good solution, is it?” Ult scratched his head in dissatisfaction.

"It's like being tossed around the world on a tour."

"Don't worry." Ash sneered, "The great President Spinner dreams of doing something big; he can't just sit idly by and watch his groundbreaking product circulate on the black market..."

Even if other regions have sober champions remaining vigilant, Padiyah is likely already riddled with holes from infiltration.

"Hey, did you guys hear? It seems that the item we bought on the black market will be officially released soon."

"Really? Isn't that illegal?"

"Who said that? I heard that Beyond Company has completed the technical breakthrough and is now in the public beta testing phase."

Once the public beta goes live, you can buy it anywhere in the store. That's something to look forward to!

Two trainers walked past Ash and his friends, chatting casually. However, the content of their conversation caught Ash and his friends' attention.

"Public beta? Spinner has gone mad?!" Fried couldn't help but clench his fists.

How is this any different from legalizing contraband?

"As long as there are enough benefits, there will always be people supporting him." Xiao Zhi shook his head and opened DianDian.

"Dian Dian, investigate what big moves Beyond Company has made recently."

"Give me a minute... I found it!" DianDian's speed in surfing the internet is still as reassuring as ever.

Beyond Company issued a notice to recruit volunteers.

To test our latest product, the Enhancement Ball, we sincerely invite trainers to experience it for free.

The experimental process is well-funded. Before the final product is released to the market, all participants will receive a free trial…

The time is... starting tomorrow, and the location is the Beyond Company's experimental base in Wailang City!

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

"I have a feeling there will be a huge bunch of rampaging elves there." Rico swallowed hard.

“No, those are whetstones prepared for us.” Roy’s lips curled up, and he stood up abruptly.

“Want to go all out? Count me in.” Ulte grinned, stood up, and bumped fists with Roy.

"There might be some kind of conspiracy, you must be careful," Fried warned worriedly.

*Snap... Snap...* Ash cracked his neck. "Hopefully, the surprise President Spinner has prepared will be exciting enough. After all... I'm just venting my anger somewhere!"

"Then without further ado, everyone say goodbye to Molly and get ready to leave."

At the entrance of the Pokémon Center, the three little ones looked at Molly who was seeing them off and asked, "Molly, if there's another chance in the future, will you continue to travel with us?"

Molly, with one hand in her pocket, smiled and blew a pink bubble the size of a bubblegum bubble: "I told you, the future belongs to you. But, if the Asagi takes flight again, it's not impossible, is it?"

"That's enough for me." Ash nodded, then led the three little ones away.

To be continued...
