Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 942 Arrival at the Crystal Pool

After giving the boy a good beating, he went home crying that very night. That same evening, the Blueberry Four Heavenly Kings and the Grape Four Little Ones had a blast at the temple fair.

Ash's Mischievous Phantom gained a mask, admiration, and remorse. He personally struck the great drum symbolizing the return of the wandering spirit.

The old administrator, with tears streaming down his face, readily granted permission.

So, the next day, early in the morning, Ash and his friends, along with the Blueberry Elite Four, headed towards the Crystal Pool in the back mountain.

There are large open spaces and pools there, which can be used as temporary venues for exchange competitions.

Watching the students playing together, Xiao Zhi hummed an unknown tune in good spirits.

That's what students should be like, so cute. Wu Li, that kid just needs a good scolding.

The mountain roads in Beishang Township are not particularly rugged, but you might occasionally encounter wild Taijinghua elves along the way.

To ensure fairness in the competition among the children, Ash naturally didn't hesitate to have his Pokémon accept these experiences.

Watching Ash's Razor chase and kick a group of Houndooms, Du Ruo and the others were filled with admiration.

"Let alone Ash's main force, I feel like it would be difficult to defeat these newly trained kids..." Nellie, the little black girl, couldn't help but sigh.

“This is normal.” Du Ruo spoke with her grandfather on the phone last night. Mr. Shaka highly praised Xiao Zhi.

We once thought that we might not see another Crimson Emperor for ten years, but later we said that we might not see another Pill Emperor for fifty years.

But... Ash Ketchum is a legend that will only appear once every hundred years.

Tactics, nurturing, evolution, enhancement—he matured as if he had retraced the path to the peak...

"If I have the chance, I will definitely go to Grape Academy as an exchange student, as long as I can get guidance from Teacher Xiaozhi."

The fire-breathing dragon had magma-like gem-like patterns visible on its body with each breath.

"That's practically every Fire-type Trainer's dream dragon..." Akamatsu exclaimed.

"I doubt the exchange students will bring all four of us together. Someone has to help Principal Xi Lan with school affairs." Zi Yu cutely rested her chin on her hand, her face scrunched up in a worried expression.

What should I do? I really want to go... How about we have the academy hold another league and elect four new Heavenly Kings? Let's do that!

On the other side, among Ash's students, Roy was laughing heartily without a care in the world, while Riko and Spot were both deep in thought.

Are the Elite Four weak? That's only true for Ash. But for Riko and her friends, they're a considerable challenge.

Especially Du Ruo, as the grandson of Dragon Master Shaka, his team composition can only be described as overpowered...

Fortunately, the students' match was three-on-three; if it had been a 6v6 match, Riko and her team would probably have been completely wiped out...

Soon, after Xiao Zhi's unfinished experience-farming operation, the group arrived at the mountaintop, where the Crystal Pool was filled with crystal-clear green water.

"Oh! Welcome everyone, I'm Bai Leiya from Blueberry Academy." A stylishly dressed female teacher stood up from the camping table and chairs and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Teacher White Leah, it's been a long time." Ash nodded, gesturing to Freed.

Freed stepped forward and shook hands with the other person, expressing his desire to learn about the Book of Crimson and Purple as a Pokémon Professor.

“Of course, no problem. Let’s have a cup of coffee and chat.” Hearing that everyone was interested in this topic, Bai Leiya became even more enthusiastic.

"Ow!!"

Just as the group arrived at the lakeside, a Milotic, its body enveloped in crystal, suddenly emerged. A paragon of compassionate Pokémon, this creature charged straight towards the lake upon its appearance.

"A Milotic that's too crystallized?" Fried exclaimed, and was about to make a move when he was stopped by Du Ruo and the others.

"Everyone, let Du Ruo handle things here," Chi Song said with a relaxed smile, his hands behind his head.

"Haxorusaur, shine brightly!" Du Ruo said calmly, launching a Poké Ball and a Crystal Orb at the same time.

"Taijing Steel properties?" Dian Dian recognized it at a glance.

"I see. So, this type focuses more on offense than defense." Ash smiled slightly. No wonder he's Mr. Shaka's grandson.

Boom! Milotic suddenly unleashed a water cannon, but Haxorus spread its arms wide, completely unafraid.

“Double Axe Dragon, Ironhead!” Du Ruo said in a deep voice.

"Roar!" The Twin Axe Dragon was suddenly bathed in metallic gleam, its long neck twisting forward with its fangs and sweeping horizontally.

Bang! Water splashed everywhere, and it instantly disintegrated.

"Purple Taro, please!" Without trying to be brave, Du Ruo immediately turned around and called out.

"Frost Milk Fairy, Aromatherapy." Purple Taro made a light gesture, and Frost Milk Fairy released a sweet fragrance that completely calmed the other party down.

Clap clap clap~ Ash led the applause. The whole process was incredibly smooth. This is the style of an elite student.

"As expected of the strongest students at Blueberry Academy," Ash exclaimed sincerely.

"You flatter me." Teacher Bai Leiya nodded with pride: "The Crystal Pool here contains elements of Tai Crystal, which may cause the Pokémon here to undergo this kind of autonomous Tai Crystallization."

That Milotic was just suddenly too crystallized, so it was startled by itself.

"Alright, let's continue our conversation." The group returned to the camp.

Rico also revealed Talebagos' true form.

"My God! A living Talebagas! I really want to study it!" As a result, Bai Leia, who had been so reserved just moments before, instantly lost her composure and chased Talebagas for two blocks.

Fortunately, Ziyu and Nali supported the teacher from both sides, preventing her from losing control.

"Ahem, sorry, I didn't expect to encounter such a creature that exists deep in Zone Zero. I was a bit flustered." Coming back to her senses, Bai Leiya blushed as she looked at the inquiring eyes of Xiao Zhi and the others.

“It’s alright, I understand. But what do you mean by ‘deep within Zone Zero’?” Fried keenly spotted the problem.

"Didn't you read those two books written by my ancestors?" Bai Leiya smiled slightly, a look of reminiscence in her eyes.

"I've also compiled my research into a book, which I'm preparing to publish. I've also met fully awakened individuals in Taleborgs."

Yours doesn't seem to be fully awakened yet.

“That’s right! Please tell us more about Talebagos!” Rico said anxiously.

"Don't rush, let's get to know each other about Talebagas." Bai Leiya nodded with a smile.

After the two sides introduced their respective information, Xiaozhi had a general idea in mind.

Bai Leia's lineage doesn't seem to have any connection with Lucius. Therefore, she has no clue about the Six Heroes or Lucius.

However, she was absolutely certain about the origin of the Taleborgs. Because Hezer, the author of the Book of Crimson and Purple, was likely the first person to witness the Taleborgs!

"My grandfather first encountered the Talebagos, these creatures, after venturing deep into Zone Zero."

They are not solitary creatures, but rather seem to be a breeding population of some ancient Pokémon.

My grandfather thought their bodies appeared to be missing a tail.

Bai Leiya's description made Xiaozhi's eyes light up; Xuanwu's tail seemed to be shaped like a small, unconscious snake.

However, it wasn't entirely without gains for everyone.

Based on existing information, it is highly likely that Lucius once visited District Zero, because only there could he subdue Taleborg.

In other words, if they want to follow in Lucius's footsteps, they have no choice but to go to Sector Zero.

To be continued...
