Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 900 A Message from Xiao Shigeru

In the mine, Moltres, which had been suppressed by Ash's Shiny Tarantula, finally regained its senses.

In the instant she regained her senses, Riko's pendant finally resonated with the firebird once more.

To everyone's surprise, the pendant in Rico's arms transformed into the form of Talebagos once again, and this time, it did not revert back.

After Moltres spoke with Talebages, it returned to its Poké Ball and chose to travel with Lycoroe.

"That's great, teacher! Did you see that... Huh? Teacher?" Riko and Roy turned around and found that Ash had disappeared.

"This is... a message?" Little Dot picked up the sticky note from the ground.

"You all continue to the ancient city, I'll go take care of some personal matters." The hurried notes silenced the three children.

“Then… let’s head back to the Brave Asagi first. We can take the waterway to get closer to Hammerlocke City, where the ancient castle is located,” Fried suggested as the leader of the group.

Rico and the other two nodded, and with some worry, followed Fried on their return journey.

At a hidden corner outside the mine, Amegio, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, looked at the familiar figure ahead.

“Sobres…” Amegio’s Azure Flame Blade Demon froze in place as a transparent figure broke free of invisibility and appeared behind the Azure Flame Blade Demon.

It was Ash's Inteleon.

To teach Riko and the others their new Pokémon, Ash replaced the three giants of the Padilla with several veterans from Galar and Alola.

The water bullets that the Thousand Faces Avoid conjured at her fingertips made Azure Flame Blade Demon have no doubt that if it moved, it would be instantly blown to the head...

"Emegio~ It seems you still haven't figured it out~" Ash sighed regretfully.

“Spinier may have his problems, but he’s also a veteran of the exploration team. I was raised by Humbert, how could I possibly betray him?” Amegio said seriously.

"Use your heart to see the world, don't just use your eyes. Sometimes what you see with your eyes can deceive you." Xiao Zhi shook his head and sighed.

"What do you mean?" Amegio asked, frowning.

"Never mind~" Ash raised his hand, and Inteleon was released from its lock, and Amegion finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although I don't know what your exploration team is pursuing, based on the materials I have, it must be very dangerous." Ash sighed, "Your Aura is a very gentle child. Don't go down a path of no return."

"Thank you..." Amegio bowed slightly, then resolutely turned and left.

Xiao Zhi knew he had wasted his breath. This kid was also a stubborn person.

However, people can't learn by being taught, but they can learn by being taught something once.

"So, Spinel, just keep acting up, I'll take you down sooner or later." Ash muttered softly, then turned around: "What, not hiding anymore?"

A black-haired girl dressed in a suit from Beyond the Company stepped forward calmly in front of Ash: "As expected of the legendary trainer that Gary admires so much, you did notice me after all."

"Who are you?" Ash's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Don't be nervous~" The girl twirled a strand of her hair and smiled sweetly: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Qingya, and I come from the Donghuang region. By the way, I am Dr. Xiaomao's chief assistant."

"Xiao Mao's...assistant?" Xiao Zhi's gaze was strange; it wasn't that Xiao Zhi was talking about Xiao Mao.

Is this guy's female secretary... decent or not?

Seeing Ash's gaze, the girl smiled mischievously: "Of course! If I can catch him this time, I'll kidnap him and take him home to marry him!"

"Siguo Yi~ Then we're good friends!" Xiaozhi warmly shook hands with Qingya.

"Well then, let's make a long story short." Qingya regained her composure and began to explain, "Xiao Mao and Mr. Qinglu should be in the Padia Giant Pit at the moment. Therefore, they are unable to make direct contact with the outside world."

"Did Gary and the others go to Sector Zero...?" Ash frowned.

"I had been working undercover in the exploration team until Spinner lured Mr. Crimson to the gate."

Later, Mr. Crimson seemed to have discovered something extraordinary in the Padia Pit.

"So, in order to support him, Xiao Mao and Mr. Qing Lü bypassed the Padia authorities and trespassed into Zone Zero." Qing Ya explained in a deep voice.

"Although Xiao Mao contacted me several times along the way, and even sent me a package once via Tiebaofu."

That thing is the Xuanwu-Taylorgos you have in your hand right now.

However, we rarely kept in touch after that.

He specifically instructed me to contact you after the little one wakes up.

"Is the Talebagas that Gary mentioned... about Lucius?" Ash asked, puzzled.

“It’s different.” Qingya said directly, “Lucius’s Talebagos comes from the first layer of the Padia Pit. Its ability is sealing, sealing the mysterious element that has spread to the core of Carlos.”

Xiao Mao calls it the Lack element!

According to Shigeru's investigation, this element was generated in an area called the Void of Zero, which is located at the very bottom of the Padia Crater.

However... for some reason, it erupted in another place and crystallized.

That place is Laqua, the "paradise" that the adventurer Lucius once reached!

"It seems that it really is related to Riko and the others." Ash sighed.

“Yes.” Qingya nodded seriously: “However, Lakua is just the tipping point. Only by solving the problems there can we truly access the most core secrets.”

Furthermore, the heterochromatic Talebages in your hand were once recorded in the legends of our Eastern Empire.

The four divine beasts that suppress the power of the stars, Xuanwu - Tailebagos.

“Xuanwu…” Xiaozhi fell silent.

Master Ma once said, "What exactly do the killing power of the White Tiger and the suppressing force of the Black Tortoise mean...?"

"According to ancient records, the four divine beasts once protected the fortune of the Eastern Empire. They are: Azure Dragon of the East - Liekongzuo, White Tiger of the West - Zeraora, Vermilion Bird of the South - Fengwang, and Black Tortoise of the North - Talebagos."

They were all mythical beasts of different colors, and each wielded divine power in their own domain.

A hundred years ago, a cataclysmic event occurred in the Donghuang region. Although the divine realm supported by the four divine beasts protected the vast Donghuang region.

However, after the anomaly, the four divine beasts scattered in all directions. The Eastern Region also entered a long period of isolation.

A fable says: When the four divine beasts gather once more in Donghuang, the ancient and mysterious Donghuang region will become great again. "Qingya murmured, as if chanting a mysterious elegy.

“However, none of that matters now.” Returning to normal, Qingya earnestly told Xiaozhi, “As the legendary Pokémon that suppressed the Padia Crater, Xuanwu… Talebagus still has an unfinished mission.”

"I understand." Ash nodded. "Don't worry, I'll bring Gary and the others back."

"Thank you~" Qingya bowed slightly in gratitude: "According to my investigation, the exploration team should have a close relationship with Lucius back then."

Therefore, I guess they will definitely try to steal the little girl's "key," because only with the Talebages can they enter Lacusa.

"Understood, I'll go meet up with Riko and the others right away." Having received Qingya's message, Xiaozhi felt even more strongly that the three little ones were not strong enough.

Before we can break through Lakua and solve that big problem, we need to train them properly.

"I will return to the exploration team to continue my undercover work, and I look forward to the day when you and Gary return together." Qingya bowed and watched Xiaozhi leave.
