"Just take Macho Brace with you while you are in the Lab!"
After capturing Scyther, Ash decided to teleport Houndoom to Professor Oak for some time.
Not only that, he also sent Quilava back with Houndoom to train with him and get used to harder battles while being there.
Training communication with the same typings will be more efficient than if another Pokémon of a different type trains it.
Now Ash lets Houndoom take Quilava, while Slowpoke and Wartortle take Totodile to train alongside them. Occasionally when passing by the Pokémon Center in the forest, Ash will teleport Totodile back for training for a period of time.
The Pokémon around Ash now are Pikachu, Snorlax, Heracross, Scyther, Bayleef, and the special Shiny Noctowl!
Now Bayleef is the one carrying Molly on the trip, for now. The two girls get along very well, and they start chatting about each other in no time.
"Bayleef, look, what a wide river!" Molly pointed to the road ahead and cheered.
It's quite rare to see such a wide river out of the blue!
Ordinarily, there should be a bridge nearby for the crossing of the people. The group of people looked around and only found a bridge under construction. But no real bridge to use.
"Excuse me, is there any other bridge here?" This bridge is under construction, and it is obviously impossible to cross it, so they have to ask about other bridges.
However, the workers replied that all the bridges here had been washed away by the floods due to the previous heavy rain, and work was being stepped up to re-erect the bridges.
It won't be completed until the next month!
"Look, the current is not fast right now. How about I let Snorlax take us to swim there?" Ash suggested while holding Snorlax's Poké Ball.
His Snorlax is very flexible for his species and of his size and weight. Not only is he agile, he can also swim, and he can do butterfly stroke, the very best Snorlax.
"That sounds like a bad idea..." Misty was a little worried.
"Crossing the river on a Snorlax? Yes, yes!" Molly looked very excited by hearing and thinking about that.
Now it's decided!
Ash threw Snorlax's Poké Ball, and it was really awake right now.
After this period of training and feeding, Snorlax has grown in size and become much more powerful.
Not only the system food that Ash exchanged, but also the large can of cheese, Ash also took a lot of it as snacks and fed it to it, finally increasing its bond value to 225/255.
"Snorlax, please!"
With such a high bond value, Snorlax nodded very obediently and jumped into the river.
It actually used a backstroke posture, exposing its round belly to the water, and slowly paddling the water with its two strong arms.
"Oh my God, it can actually do the backstroke?" Misty was once again shocked by Ash's Snorlax. She just thought Snorlax was unreliable just now. This completely changed her outlook of him!
"My Snorlax is not normal by any sense of the way, Misty, you should know this by now!" Ash looked at Misty and smiled slightly, "Boys and girls, let's go!"
The space on Snorlax's belly is big enough for them, even if Ash holds Molly and the four of them squeeze together, there is still some space for a few others to join in.
"Haha, so fun, so fun!" Of course Molly was very happy and cheered all the way.
Carrying the river, Ash and his party soon arrived at the Ruins of Alph.
This is a place where many Pokémon fossils have been found. Many researchers are currently mining here, and mysterious Pokémon fossils are still emerging on the rock walls.
When traveling in the Kanto Region, Ash and his team discovered the remains of Pokémon fossils.
That was the Grampa Canyon. Not only were fossils found, but also a ferocious Aerodactyl also appeared from the depths of the canyon, and Ash was captured as soon as he came out with its talon.
At that time, Charmeleon suddenly evolved into Charizard, soared into the air, and rescued Ash.
"Look, Molly, this is the fossil of an Aerodactyl!" Ash introduced to Molly while looking at the fossils on the rock wall.
"Yeah, I saw it in the drawing book my dad gave me!" Molly nodded.
"Ash, you have really made a lot of progress in your journey and knowledge!" At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind everyone, with deep satisfaction and pride in it.
Professor Oak!
"Grandpa Oak!" Molly called out sweetly. Professor Oak is the teacher of her father, Professor Hale, who loves her very much. She always call him grandpa.
Professor Oak rubbed her head, "Molly, is it hard to travel with Ash?"
Molly quickly shook her head, "Not at all. Brother Ash is amazing. Yesterday we swam across the river in top of Big Brother's Snorlax! It was so amazing!" Molly said with stars in her eyes.
"Crossing the river on top of a Snorlax?" Professor Oak also had a new perspective. He looked at Ash with a smile, "Ash, you are still as unexpected as before, aren't you!"
Ash just smiled but said nothing.
Now that Professor Oak is here, Ash and his party must follow him to visit the Ruins of Alph. If they hadn't met Professor Oak, maybe they would have just traveled through this place in a hurry.
Moreover, Professor Oak is coming here, and it seems like he has something good going on here.
"Professor, you said there is something you want us to see, right?" Ash and his group asked as they followed Professor Oak toward the Laboratory at the exit of the ruins.
"My student is here. He said he made an amazing discovery! He asked me to take the time to come over no matter what happens."
Emotions were showing on Professor Oaks face and they couldn't be hidden. He himself did not know what the so-called great discovery was but he was also excited about the discovery.
But in this way, the curiosity of Ash and his party became even stronger!
Arriving at the Laboratory, Ash and his team followed Professor Oak and watched him shake hands with a tall researcher.
"It's been such a long time, Foster!"
This researcher is called Foster. He once took Professor Oak's course at Celadon University, so he is considered his student.
"Professor Oak, who are these kids?"
"You said there was an amazing discovery, so I just took them to see it!" For Ash, Professor Oak took care of him as if he were his grandson.
But Foster panicked, pulled Professor Oak aside, and said mysteriously, "Professor Oak, if this matter is published, it will cause a big disturbance in the academic world! That's why I secretly called you to show it!" He said in a not so loud voice.
"Don't be like that. Ash is just the best young man I have ever seen. Letting them expand thier knowledge of Pokémon is also the only way to become a good Pokémon trainer!" Professor Oak said that Ash and the others can rest assured and be trusted.
When it comes to loving Pokémon, not even Professor Oak can match Ash's love towards Pokémon as a whole!
Since Professor Oak has said so, Mr. Foster can no longer refuse, "Okay, let's make an exception this time!"
Mr. Foster's research topic is about the ancient history of Pokémon and just fossils in general.
Moreover, he proposed a theory of the origin of ocean Pokémon. He believed that the origin of all life was in the sea.
"Your big discovery, is it a new Water Pokémon?" After hearing Mr. Foster introduce her research, Misty suddenly rushed towards him with her starry eyes!
As an absolute fanatic of Water type Pokémon, how could she not be excited when hearing such a theory about this?
Misty, who just got pulled back by Ash and Brock and she quickly apologized to Foster for her sudden outburst!
As the group chatted like this, they came to an iron gate with big red crosses painted on it.
"Then, now I will lead you to the world two million years ago!"
Foster pressed the fingerprint recognition, the iron door opened, and a cool breeze blew out.
Rare trees, rare grass, and then suddenly an Aerodactyl jumped out. Ash likes Aerodactyl very much, it is cool, very strong, and has a Mega Evolution, so he must capture one if he ever has the chance to do so!
However, the one in front of him is not the real Aerodactyl at all!
"This is Aerodactyl based on the latest data on ancient Pokémon and the most advanced animatronic technology we currently have in the Research Lab over here!" Foster introduced.
It sounds quite high-end.
But it wasn't alive. So, Ash still lacked interest in it, but Molly was extremely happy about seeing this kind of things.
This is like an amusement park for her!
And it's still an amusement park that hasn't opened to others yet!
"This is the Ancient Pokémon Park, an entertainment and academic space that recreates the living environment of Ancient Pokémon's. Since it takes a lot of time to adjust the system over here, it is not open to the public just yet!"
Molly hugged Ash's thigh, "That's awesome, Brother Ash, it's so much fun here! Wow, there's also a Volcano over there!"
As she was talking, the virtual Volcano erupted in front of everyone.
Foster proudly introduced, "I said I wanted to recreate that environment. The ancient continent was affected by frequent Volcanic activities, and the lands at that time sometimes sank or emerged from the sea!"
"Such changes have had a huge impact on the evolution of life!" Ash continued.
After saying that, he felt Professor Oak pat his shoulder and nodded in approval.
Molly ran to Mr. Foster again, "Uncle Foster, besides Aerodactyl, are there any other Ancient Pokémon here?"
Just one Aerodactyl is not enough for it to be considered an actual park for people to visit!
Looking at her excited little face and her bright eyes, he knelt down and said, "Then lets take you to see the most important and biggest discovery here!"
With that said, Foster led everyone to a small pond. Strangely, the rocks here were all glowing!
"This is Glowing Moss!" Professor Oak revealed the mystery of the stone's glow at a glance.
Foster went on to introduce, "There were many such things on the seaside in ancient times. We know this from fossil analysis."
Molly shook Mr. Foster's trouser leg, "Uncle, is this your big discovery?" She looked a little down.
The glowing stone is indeed very important for research, but it cannot satisfy Molly's strong curiosity and her child like brain.
Foster looked at her and smiled and said, "Molly, don't be impatient! As long as you stand here, the big discovery will appear by itself!"
"Is that so?" Molly turned around and ran to Ash's side, staring blankly at the water.
"Nani?"
Ash's Aura seemed to have discovered something inside the pool just now, and then he showed a look of surprise. It turned out to be those little guys!
Soon, everyone noticed that something seemed to be approaching the water.
"Everyone, set your sight on the complete replica of the coast two million years ago." Just as the water droplets were about to emerge from the water, Foster seemed to be acting as a narration and announcer for their upcoming appearance, "You have to look carefully."
As soon as Foster finished speaking, the figure under the water finally appeared!
The Pokémon looks like a large snail, carrying a huge spiral-patterned shell with blue tentacles extending from it.
Omanyte's big eyes look cute, but the evolved Omastar is different. The eyes look a little scary, and the mouth becomes a cross shape, making it look particularly ferocious.
"It's Omanyte and Omastar!" Professor Oak said their names.
"It looks like it's real!" Of course Misty also saw them before and was shocked to see them here.
"Brother Ash, Omanyte is so cute!" Molly had already ran over happily to the front. At this time, the Omanytes had already boarded the beach. Professor Oak suddenly felt something was wrong!
"Ash, stop Molly quickly, these Omanyte are..." Professor Oak suddenly screamed, and the little girl hurriedly stepped forward. If she was attacked, it would be a big deal!
But it was too late, Molly had already squatted down in front of an Omanyte, and her soft little fingers went to touch the Omanyte's soft blue tentacles.
With the wet touch, Molly suddenly understood that this was actually alive!
"Ah, Bug Brother, this Omanyte is really alive!" Molly rushed back to Ash like a frightened little rabbit, hugged Ash's legs and hid behind him.
"Don't be afraid Molly, didn't you say that this Omanyte cute?" Ash comforted her with a smile.
Looking at the Omanyte in front of him, Professor Oak slowly walked forward and stretched out his hand to touch their tentacles, feeling excited in his heart about all this.
"I never thought that I could do this. I didn't expect to encounter real Ancient Pokémon here."
"The reason why I started studying Pokémon was because I saw the fossil of an Omanyte. The shells I saw in the museum had very beautiful spiral patterns. Seeing them was like meeting an old friend who I had not seen in such a long time!"
"Foster, where did you find these Omanyte and Omastar?" Professor Oak also realized the seriousness of the matter. These real living fossils, in the eyes of some greedy people, are like walking gold.
However, even Foster didn't know it. They were already here before he noticed it.
Ash's body flashed with light. He looked at Foster with a serious face and said, "Mr. Foster, there is a whole world that has survived for two million years underground here. I suggest that this artificial pond be closed immediately and measures be taken to close and stop all this immediately before someone notices this and causes chaos!"
"Ash?"
Misty has never heard Ash say something so solemnly, and she has never seen Ash with such a serious expression!
While Ash was talking, no one noticed that there were several more Omanytes around them. This time, Foster also believed what Ash said.
Under this artificial lake and the water source deep in the back mountain, there lives the Omanyte clan, which has been multiplying for two million years!
"Ash, you have really grown up!" Professor Oak looked at Ash with eyes full of pride.
Let these researchers handle this!
Since she wants to protect these Omanyte, Misty, as a Water type Pokémon Trainer, has no intention of subduing an Omanyte.
But she doesn't care, keeping it secret is the best way to protect these Omanytes who have no real connection with the outside world.
