Chapter 175 Suicune's Father and the Town Where the Beginning Wind Blows (Part 2)
Ash rested in Pallet Town for a few more days, waiting for Professor Oak to finish building the habitat for Majestic Teeth. It has to be said that Professor Oak is truly resourceful, as he actually brought in a large number of professional construction teams from the League to move a small mountain from his backyard.
With the help of Pokémon and Professor Oak, a sizable habitat was completed in just one week.
"Isn't it perfect? According to the information I found, Majestic Tooth prefers to live in arid deserts or valleys—"
Professor Oak proudly introduced the exhibits to Ash and his friends who had come to visit.
However, he quickly changed the subject and asked Xiaozhi in a serious tone.
"When I was searching for information, I could only find a paper by Dr. Orin from the Padia region, published eight years ago."
"The security level is at level one; ordinary researchers are not allowed to read it at all, and the contents—"
"Ash, where exactly did you find this magnificent fang?"
"I encountered it on an uninhabited island while traveling through the Orange Islands."
Ash wasn't exactly lying; he did indeed use a Battle Ticket to teleport it from a deserted island, and Misty can vouch for that.
Professor Oak didn't say much about this, but the information in the Poké Ball showed that it was indeed used in the Orange Islands.
However, he couldn't help but feel a secret worry in his heart.
"Dr. Orin's time machine seems to be even more unstable. Let's find an opportunity to inquire about the situation later."
Let Ash and his friends play by themselves. Professor Oak plans to first inform Brock and ask him to quickly isolate the island where the Great Fang appeared.
However, before leaving, Professor Oak took a Poké Ball out of his pocket and gave it to Ash.
"This is a new Masterball from Silver Company; it's not usually available on the market."
"The Poké Balls you used to catch Suicune and Majestic Fang were Master Balls, they must have been expensive."
"I've prepared one for you and Gary, but I still want to say that you shouldn't rely too much on the Master Ball. The most important thing between you and your Pokémon is the bond between your hearts."
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the item "Master Ball" +1]
I didn't expect Professor Oak to be so generous as to give me the Master Ball directly.
Although it was a bit long-winded, Ash's affection for Oak was skyrocketing.
A few days later, after getting enough rest, Xiao Zhi packed his bags and put the little black egg in his backpack.
This time, besides his usual Pikachu, Suicune, and Mewtwo, he only brought Eevee and Shiny Ralts to the Johto region, while Brock had set off a few days earlier.
Xiao Zhi couldn't bear to see Xiao Gang's颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, and lack of motivation) state, so he called Xiao Xue, Xiao Gang's idol.
After Xiaoxue comforted him, Xiaogang finally rekindled his fighting spirit.
Having decided to head to the Johto region to find Yuki and participate in the Pokémon Breeder Contest, Brock asked, "Won't you wait a few more days and come with Misty and me?"
"No, Satoshi, a man should run forward without hesitation the moment he sets a goal."
"I can already hear the echo of my burning dream; I can't wait another second!"
This is clearly for Xiaoxue's sake; her eagerness is truly unbearable to watch.
"However, Miss Xiaoxue also told me that you were the one who asked her to comfort me."
"Thank you so much, Ash—"
[Ding! Xiao Gang: Affection +5]
"It's alright, we're best friends after all!"
"Ash!"
"Xiao Gang!"
"Ash!!"
"Xiao Gang!!"
I
And so, Brock left before Ash and the others set off.
Now Ash and Misty have finally embarked on a new journey, and surprisingly, things are going very smoothly for them at first.
It didn't take long to reach the starting point of the Johto Alliance, Wakaba Town.
But suddenly, a thick fog rose up in the forest not far from the town.
"I knew it wouldn't be this smooth sailing!"
As expected, Ash and his friends got lost in the thick fog.
Even though the destination is right in front of me, I just can't seem to get out of this forest. "Sigh, this is so frustrating."
"Oh my god, this is terrifying! Aren't you going to do something to save me?"
On the other side, Suicune is being chased by the little black egg.
Around noon today, Ash asked Slime to purify the water he had just collected so that it would be easier to make lunch later.
Ash took advantage of the break to carefully wipe the little black egg clean.
However, when Suicune started using his ability to purify the water, the little black egg actually flew towards Suicune's location on its own.
Then it kept chasing after the Eight Treasure Porridge, and even now, the black egg is still floating in the air, constantly chasing after Suicune.
As soon as it slows down, it automatically attaches itself to Suicune's arms, which makes Hachiboku very resistant.
"It's rare that Little Black Egg likes you so much, so let him lean on you for a bit, it won't do any harm."
The AI senses through its waveguide that the little black egg feels joy when it comes to Suicune.
This is very rare; it usually only happens when Ash sings to it.
Maybe if it stays with the Eight Treasure Porridge a little longer, it will hatch faster. Ash can't wait to see his own Lugia.
But Suicune stubbornly refused and kept jumping up and down.
"Are you kidding me? It's not sticking to you. This black egg emits black mist."
"Did you know that this black mist exudes an ominous aura from the inside out?"
Ash immediately launched a few Aura Spheres to disperse the black mist, then stood next to Suicune.
The black mist emanating from the black egg melted instantly upon contact with Ash's emitted aura, like snow being doused with boiling water. "Then I'll just stand next to you, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Suicune wanted to say more about the troublesome matter of the black mist, but Ash solved it in no time.
It's not a good thing that my owner is too perverted, so I racked my brains and thought about it for a while.
"Besides, I'm male, and this black egg feels like I'm pregnant when it's on me, I don't want that!"
It is the legendary incarnation of the Water Lord North Wind, and it has its own pride. How embarrassing it would be if other Water Lords of the same kind saw it!
"In short, there's no way I'm going to help take care of that kid!"
Anyway, the unyielding Suicune will never back down.
"As long as you take good care of Little Black Egg, I'll allow you to slack off a little during training, how about that?"
Upon hearing Ash say this, Suicune's ears immediately perked up.
"Is it really okay to slack off?"
"Hmm~ I guess so. After all, let's just say your task is to hatch the black egg."
Ash usually wouldn't let Suicune slack off, but Lugia's egg is a higher priority right now.
Let's allow this lazy dog a few days to relax.
Hearing Ash agree, Suicune reluctantly used its white ribbon tail to hold the little black egg in its arms.
After dealing with this matter, Xiaozhi came to Xiaoxia's side.
"So, can you find our current location?"
It's really hard to tell which way to go when you're walking in the thick fog. Ash's Aura is especially useful for finding people because he can just follow their Aura.
But using it for navigation would be too much of a challenge for him.
"Satoshi, it seems we've come full circle again. We just saw this big tree not long ago—"
"My legs are killing me, I just can't walk anymore!"
Xiaoxia looked helpless; maps were completely useless in this kind of weather.
"Why did it suddenly get foggy?"
Xiao Zhi was also puzzled; the fog that appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the day was strange.
Suddenly, Togepi jumped down from Misty's arms, waving his little hands and running happily forward.
"Hey, Togepi, where are you going?"
"Pikachu, Pikachu!"
The group quickly chased after them, only to find themselves following Togepi directly to a lakeside.
On a small island in the middle of the lake, there stood a Pokémon emitting a dazzling light.
"That figure looks like—Suicune!"
After all, Ash had spent so much time with Eight Treasure Porridge that he recognized the Pokémon just from its outline.
At this moment, Babaozhou finally strolled over, carrying the egg in a nonchalant manner. Upon seeing the figure in the lake, he immediately shouted.
"It's really here! Don't look over here!"
It immediately used its high-speed movement to hide in the bushes nearby, afraid that its kind would discover that it was acting as a foster father.
Of course, the concern about eight-treasure porridge is unfounded.
When Eight Treasure Porridge used its skill, Little Intelligence clearly sensed that the dignified Suicune in the center of the lake was expressing a feeling of relief.
In an instant, a strong gust of wind blew from behind Ash. When he opened his eyes again, they had arrived at the entrance to Wakaba Town.
The thick fog and the glowing Pokémon in the middle of the lake all disappeared, leaving only a bright sunny sky and a bustling town in the distance.
Xiao Zhi was momentarily dazed.
[Ding! The legendary Suicune: Affection +2]
"It's the legendary Suicune!" They never expected her to appear in front of Ash and his friends in person.
"Wow, great! We're finally out of the forest!"
Xiaoxia was shocked by the scenery around her and quickly picked up Togepi from the ground, cheering.
Ash was also very happy, but after glancing at Suicune who was still hiding by the roadside with its head in its hands, he couldn't help but walk over and pick it up.
"Sigh, how come there's such a huge difference between them, even though they're both Suicune?"
That Suicune was so cool! Its aura and amazing abilities... How come the battle ticket sent me this guy, Eight Treasure Porridge?
"Open your eyes, Eight Treasure Porridge, wasn't that glowing Suicune your father just now?"
Urged on by Ash, Suicune finally snapped out of its daze and began shaking its head as it looked around.
"How did we suddenly end up here? Thinking about it carefully, that aura seems to be from here. I was too shy to observe carefully earlier."
This guy can't even recognize his own father, really.
I'm not counting on it anymore. I'll give the little black egg a good workout once it hatches.
Ash sighed, first putting Suicune back into its Poké Ball and then putting the black egg back into his backpack.
After packing up, they immediately headed to the Pokémon Center in New Leaf Town, where Ash was registering for the League Challenge.
Wakaba Town is known as the place where the winds of beginnings blow, and it is the starting point for every trainer to challenge the Johto League.
Therefore, the town was quite prosperous, and even the center was built to be magnificent.
However, when Ash arrived at the Pokémon Center, he discovered that Nurse Joy was not there.
Only one Chansey is there to greet the trainers who come and go.
Seeing Ash and his friends come in, Chansey quickly took out the video left by Nurse Joy and explained what had happened.
It turns out that Ms. Yangyi was on her way to Dr. Elm's lab to help take care of the Pokémon.
They won't be back until 3 pm, but it's already 4 pm.
Miss Joy is still nowhere to be found, which is making Ash a little uneasy.
He couldn't wait to officially begin challenging the City Alliance; he couldn't afford to linger here.
Quickly, I grabbed Xiaoxia and we ran to Dr. Kongmu's research institute to check on the situation.
Upon arriving there, Ash discovered that Professor Elm's research lab had been surrounded by the police.
I was about to go in and see what was going on, but Miss Officer Jenny stopped me.
"This is a crime scene; unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!"
Ash's prestige and popularity in the Johto region are not high enough yet, so as a public servant, how can he be allowed to run around the crime scene?
Xiao Zhi hadn't been treated like this in a long time, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it.
But since he was a trainer with a Pokédex, Officer Jenny told Ash the truth.
"So, a group of thugs attacked Professor Elm's lab and stole the three Pokémon that were supposed to be handed over to a new trainer tomorrow?"
"That's right, we're also having a headache. These bastards are incredibly audacious."
"They actually used rockets to blow up the roof of the research institute and forcibly took away the Pokémon. Luckily, Nurse Joy arrived just in time, so the professor was not in the most dangerous situation."
Speaking of which, Miss Officer Jenny frowned, looking worriedly into the research institute. She knew she would be held accountable for what had happened in her area.
"Nurse Joy is currently at the research institute helping to take care of the injured Pokémon and Professor Elm, and is also cooperating with the investigation, which is why she hasn't been able to return to the Pokémon Center."
Generally speaking, even the most vicious criminals wouldn't be foolish enough to attack a Pokémon professor's research institute.
After all, there are usually many powerful Pokémon there, and it is a key location that the League pays close attention to.
But Xiao Zhi seemed to know quite a few gangs that were so audacious, and he immediately had a premonition.
"Could it be them—"
It's similar in style to the Kojiro trio, but even bolder and more incisive.
Xiao Zhi immediately had an idea.
"Miss Officer Jenny, please let me help you find the murderer!"
"I want to register to challenge this year's City League Tournament. I'll be very troubled if Miss Joey doesn't go back."
Xiaoxia also stepped forward to offer her help.
Officer Jenny originally wanted to refuse, but Ash's words were filled with a magical power that made people believe them.
And seeing Ash's face, I don't know why, but I always feel a blush and my heart races.
Even Officer Jenny's tone became softer and cuter when responding to Ash.
"Okay then, but if you find the culprit, be sure to notify me immediately."
"Don't act on your own. They are vicious and ruthless, and it would be bad if you got into danger."
"Please rest assured and leave it to us!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "A New Beginning, A New Start!": Please complete your first act of punishing evil in this new region!]
【奖励：联盟币+3000；体力+2；自由属性点+2；地区威望+10；地区好感度+10】
"They've arrived!"
Ash is now able to accurately determine the trigger conditions for side quests.
Ash is 80% certain that this mission was the work of Yamato and Kosaburo.
"I'll use Team Rocket as fuel to build up my reputation and favorability in the new area!"
They immediately arrived at a deserted place, and Ash spread his Aura Sensing.
Amado and his group were more cautious than Kojiro's trio.
However, although Amado and Kosaburo seem smarter and more elite, they are still formidable rivals to the trio of idiots for so long.
Even the most astute can't be that clever, and Ash quickly found them in a secluded wooden cabin deep in the forest.
"As expected, they didn't hide far."

"Yamado, instead of going after those brats, we attacked the research institute. Isn't that a bit much?"
Kosaburo is dialing Team Rocket headquarters, preparing to report the results to Boss Giovanni.
He felt that attacking a research institute was too much of a fuss, and he was somewhat worried.
"That's because we lost him. There was such a thick fog suddenly coming in the forest, there was nothing I could do."
"Kosaburo, you need to understand that we're almost bankrupt, and we've already made a solemn promise to Boss Sakaki."
"If we don't send some Pokémon back to headquarters soon, we'll end up like Jessie and the others before, working without pay!"
Amado used to think that Musashi and the others often did outrageous things because they were idiots, but now he's the same way.
Wages are killing us!
Yamad was very satisfied as he opened the sack and examined the three tightly bound Pokémon inside.
"These are the top three families in the Johto region. We won't be angry even if we send them back to headquarters and Boss Sakaki doesn't give us a big reward."
"Let's just get through this month and make sure we get paid first!"
"Alas, to think that we've fallen to this state, it's all Musashi's fault!"
Amazon's eyes well up with tears whenever he thinks about what happened back then.
The money used to manufacture ceramics in the Orange Islands was all paid for by the wages of Yama and Kosaburo, which is why they are in such a predicament now.
However, their plans will soon fall through.
A sudden loud noise came from outside the house.
