So I did say that for each 150 Power Stones we reached, I would post an extra chapters. So here you go.
————————————————————
The incident in the Water City of Alto Mare was finally over. The Eon Pokémon's created a new Soul Dew to replace the old broken one, and Ash himself placed it back to where it belongs, the Secret Garden.
The sea water returned to the canal like its usual form, and the defensive facilities in the city were gradually removed. Before the sun came up, everything became calm again as if nothing ever happened here.
Ash was also ready to say goodbye to Lugia, and Silver seemed reluctant to leave his arms. Ash could only smile and said, "Go ahead for now and come find me when you grow up!"
Hearing this, Silver became very happy. He then got ready to fly away with his mother.
Just as Lugia was take off, she created a mind connection with him.
'Ash, you know what's happening inside of your soul, right?' She questioned. She almost sounded a little anxious about this.
Ash smiled and thought his answer to Lugia, 'I know. I will go there soon and meet her.'
Hearing this, Lugia showed a relaxed smile and then flew off with Silver.
Latios also had to follow his tribe back to their settlement. Although his life was rescued by his companions, it will still take a long time to recover his life energy and his strength.
"Relax and recover for now, don't show off like this in the future!" Ash patted Latios's neck gently, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Latios while you are not here with her!"
Now that Latias has been subdued by him, Ash will definitely not to release Latias so easily. In addition, Latios needs to recuperate now, so it is better to let Ash take care of Latias for a while, travel and train with Ash Zhi will definitely make her grow stronger for any future fights.
As Ash said before, he and Latios get along very well.
As early as when it was preparing to face the tsunami, he decided to entrust Latias in the care of Ash. Now this is really the most perfect thing he could do for his little sister.
Latios nodded, called out to his sister, and disappeared behind the clouds with the rest of their companions.
"La!"
Latias said goodbye to her brother, suddenly cheered and flew around Ash, and then transformed into Bianca, looking very happy.
Molly hugged her waist and said with a smile, "Latias, now we can travel together!"
The number of traveling companions has increased again, so now it's time to hit the road.
They have to return to New Bark Town to register for the Silver Conference and confirm Ash's participation.
In order to thank Ash and his group for their contribution, Lorenzo personally set up a boat to take them back to the dock in the Johto Region, near Azalea Town. As long as they walked a short distance along the coastline, they could go to their next destination.
This was obviously the best route for them. Ash immediately threw out Lapras's Poké Ball and trained him to use a new move, Blizzard!
After leaving the island of Alto Mare, Ash once again exchanged his Pokémon around him.
In addition to Pikachu and the new Latias, there are only a few young Pokémon around now, namely Lapras, Phanpy, Tyrouge and Dratini!
After Lapras came out, Molly and Latias sat on Lapras hand in hand. Molly finally has a playmate now, even if Latias turns into a girl who is much older then her, her mind is similar to Molly as they were born around the same time, with Latias being a year younger, she is also very happy to find someone to play with.
As long as they doesn't go too far, Ash won't care about the trouble the make, and since Latias can fly freely in the water and air, she can protect Molly from getting hurt, so he now feels more relieved than ever before.
"Lapras, that's right, feel the Ice-type cold energy in your body, and then spit it out in one breath!" Ash has now become an excellent Trainer when it comes to ordering and training his Pokémon's simultaneously.
His System also sell different teaching methods for many different moves and skills. So especially now, it's much more easy to teach Lapras an attack of his own type.
CRASH!
Unexpectedly, just when Lapras had used a perfect Blizzard, Dratini wrapped around Ash's neck suddenly spit out a mini Blizzard, freezing Brock who was beside him.
"Wow, Dratini is so awesome, she learned Blizzard so quickly!" Molly clapped her hands, while Latias used her Psywave to unfreeze Brock.
"Achoo!" Brock was shivering from the cold and looked at Ash and Dratini pitifully.
"Huh?" The group of people, who were being noisy and laughing out loud, they suddenly saw a large poster.
"Is there a Pokémon synchronized water ballet show ahead?" Molly pulled Latias and read out the above content, "Big Brother, shall we go to the ballet show and see it out?"
"Pokémon synchronized water ballet show?" Brock was already excited when he saw the name, "There must be many beautiful girls in beautiful swimsuits, dancing in the water ballet show with their Pokémon!"
"I must go see this!" Brock cheered and left everyone behind!
Everyone quickly followed him and arrived at a performance venue that looked well built, but there seemed to be no one there currently.
It was almost like this thing was closed up or something like that.
"The Pokémon synchronized water ballet show sounds very similar to the one my sisters do at the Cerulean City Gym!" Latias and Misty sat next to Ash, and Molly liked to lie on top of him.
Misty's three sisters, who are water ballet performers, almost turned the Cerulean City Gym into a performance aquarium, which made the young Misty back then very angry.
However, the three of them were originally interested in water ballet dancing instead of being Pokémon Trainers, but because they wanted to support Misty's dream of becoming a Water-type Pokémon Master, she had to travel around, so the three of them have been serving as the temporary Gym Leaders.
From Ash's perspective, although they always say that Misty is the most useless sister, they actually do love Misty very much.
Then just as Brock was looking forward to it, Mantine, Qwilfish, and Lanturn started performing one after another.
"That's right, that's right, then there are the going to be beautiful girls in swimsuits soon!" Brock's expression made Ash and the rest almost embarrassed to sit next to him.
But as Sun Tzu once said, "The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment."
Then what emerged from the water was a pair of men's legs instead of the women legs Brock wanted to see!
That's right, the performer of this water ballet is a man instead of a women!
At the end of the performance, because there was no one else there, the performer approached Ash and his team to ask about their experience, "What did you think of our show?"
"Very good, you and your Pokémon worked very harmoniously!" Ash said frankly from what he saw.
"Excuse me, but do you perform all the performances alone?" From the performance just now, Misty clearly saw the shadow of her three sisters. This performance was based on the movements of her three sisters!
"Yes, I also work as the Gym Leader here!"
"Is this place a Gym?" Molly came out and asked curiously.
"This is the Coastline Gym, and I am the Gym Leader, Dorian! Why don't I be you guys guide here!"
Dorian led everyone from the Gym to the bottom of the sea. Unexpectedly, the real Coastline Gym was built on the bottom of the seabed, and there were only ballet performances on the actual water.
Not only that, they also saw a photo of the three Cerulean sisters with this guy.
"So you guys know about the Cerulean City Gym Leaders?" Dorian turned around and asked in confusion when Ash and his group recognized the three Cerulean sisters.
"Yes!" The group nodded, "Dorian, how do you know about Cerulean City Gym Leaders?"
"Because that's the Gym I long for!" Dorian replied with a smile, "I like Water-type Pokémon the most, and I hope that one day in the future this Coastline Gym I built can be like the Cerulean City Gym."
That's why Dorian followed the example of the three Cerulean sisters and did water ballet in his Gym.
However, this was a male, which made Brock a little disappointed.
"But my Gym here is just a Private Gym for now!" Dorian admitted openly.
In the Pokémon Alliance, Gyms are divided into Official Gyms and Private Gyms.
To participate in the Alliance Conference, one must need to obtain the Gym Badge's from the Official Gyms. Badges from Private Gyms are not recognized by the Alliance, but they can be collected because they are beautifully made and have great collection value.
As a Trainer who also loves Water-type Pokémon, how could Misty not think about a battle after meeting him!
"This is the battle venue, below the ground!" The battle venue of the Coastline Gym is actually on the bottom of the sea, and this is also Dorian's pride. "Water-type Pokémon are able to exert their full strength in a place like this!"
This is a battlefield that even the likes of the Cerulean City Gym don't have one.
The most exited about this place was undoubtedly Misty, "I've long wanted to have a Water-type Pokémon battle in a place like this!"
"Before that, let me have a battle first. How about two on two?" Ash jumped ahead of Misty and wanting to challenge with some of his new inexperienced Pokémon's, "Okay, that's fine with me."
Dorian said, accepting Ash's request without a second thought.
Ash only has one Water-type Pokémon with him now, and that's the still inexperienced Lapras.
After traveling together for some time now, Misty can understand Ash's thoughts without him saying so. He definitely wanted Dratini to try battling and gain some experience.
With the help of the dive equipment in the Gym that allows for movement under the water, Ash and his party all came to the bottom of the sea.
"Doesn't this girl need the equipment?" Dorian looked at Latias, who was in her human form, stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but asked with concern.
Hearing this, Molly smiled sweetly, "Haha, there's no need for that!"
Seeing that Latias did not look like anything was wrong with her, Dorian had no choice but to nod along to what Molly said. This was someone else's privacy, so he didn't bother with it. Since they wouldn't tell him, he didn't ask any more unnecessary questions. There were indeed quite a people with very extraordinary talents in this world and he has even seen someone talking to his high percentage Rattata with their language.
"Now, Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and Dorian from the Coastline Gym are going to start a Water-type Pokémon Battel." After all, since this is not a Official Gym, it was just Dorian alone to mange to this whole place, so Brock decided to be the referee of this battle.
"Okay, Lanturn, your the first one today!" As the Gym Leader, Dorian took the lead in sending out his Pokémon first, and it seemed so far that he only had those three Pokémon in his team.
"Lapras, stand by for battle!" After Ash sent out his Lapras, he quickly swam to the bottom of the place.
The biggest difference between water battles and land battles is that the battle field here is three-dimensional, which means that all Pokémon here has more space for movement.
"Lapras, Water Gun!"
As one of the basic attacks of any Water-type Pokémon's, Lapras was able to fire it very quickly. This thin stream of water forms a high pressure similar to what he would do in land to hit the Lanturn.
"Get out of the way, Lanturn!" Lanturn, as based of a real fish, was much more agile in the water than most other Water-type Pokémon's, so he was easily avoided it, and then launched an attack of his own.
"Lanturn, use Supersonic!"
Sound skills are more powerful in water, but the same is true for one of Lapras's move.
"Sparkling Aria!"
This is a skill Lapras inherited from a Primarina, and this was also Primarina's signature move before it was discovered more Pokémon can learn this attack!
Sweet singing sounded in this sea area, Supersonic was easily pushed back, and huge bubbles emerged from the singing noise of Lapras, hitting Lanturn hard.
"What attack is this?" Dorian has never seen such an attack before, but it is obviously a powerful attack from what he sees, but it will not do much damage to Lanturn because of the distance and Lantturn using Supersonic to get out of most of the damage.
He had no time to be surprised, Ash's next attack was already on its way!
"Ice Beam!" Ash ordered coldly.
In his dazed moment, Lanturn was completely frozen and lost his ability to move and fight at the same time!
"Lanturn loses the ability to fight, Lapras wins this battle!" Brock announced the result of the battle immediately after seeing the condition Lapras was in.
Both Molly and Latias cheered loudly for their friend.
"Come back Lanturn! Thank you for your hard work!" Dorian took Lanturn back, "Next, Mantine, get ready!"
Obviously Mantine is Dorian's Trump Card, and also the strongest of his three Pokémon.
Mantine was a Water-type and Flying-type Pokémon, so its speed in the sea is even faster than Lanturn. However, his opponent is even more faster. "Get ready for your first battle, Dratini!"
Dratini is still young, but his eyes are very sharp when it comes to battle related things.
He has the strong confidence and courage of being a Dragon-type Pokémon. The Dragon-type Pokémon's species as a whole is the most suitable typing for Ash, for now that is!
"You actually have a Dratini?" Dorian was a little confused. He just used an attack he had never seen before. And now he brought a Dratini, who are one of the fastest Pokémon's in the water, in to a underwater battle!
Seeing his surprised look, Ash smiled. In fact, Latias can also fight in the water. But he was just afraid of scaring Dorian so he didn't let her show up and battle him.
"Mantine, use Supersonic!"
Supersonic seems to be Dorian's specialty. Because sound travels faster in water than on land, Supersonic's power are much better to use here than anywhere else.
Their tactic were to use Supersonic until the opponent was confused and then launch some attacks when they are unable to defend themselves.
But just now, Lanturn's Supersonic was annihilated by Lapras's own attacks. What would Ash do this time?
"Extreme Speed!" He said as if he was indifferent to all this.
Dratini disappeared as if teleporting from where he swam before.
Supersonic had no chance to strike him because he got to Mantine before he could even use his move!
"How is that possible?" Dorian seemed to be taken aback by his Dratini. What kind of magical speed is this?
Ash then ordered a Thunder Wave to paralyze his rival.
The electric shock hit Mantine all of a sudden. His type had no resistance to an Electric-type like this at all, and he was immediately paralyzed from this.
Ash then gave another new order before Dorian could figure out what was going on. "Twister!"
The Twister in the water formed a huge whirlpool. Just as Mantine wanted to avoid it, some sparks suddenly flashed across his body, making him unable to move.
It had no resistance at all and was sucked in by huge whirlpool.
"Mantine, use your Wing Attack to speed up!"
This is a flying Flying-type attack, as you would have guessed, with using this Flying-type move in the water! Mantine's speed increased by a good margin, so that he was now actually able to brake through the whirlpool and got ready to attack Dratini.
"Extreme Speed again!"
In the eyes of Ash and his Dratini, this speed is nothing at all. They were ready to show them the true horror of Extreme Speed!
Mantine was knocked back again.
"Mantine, use Agility and then Take Down!"
Obviously, apart from Supersonic, this Mantine doesn't seem to have any skills that can limit the opponents movements. Faced with such a fast target, Dorian can only bite the bullet and try to catch up with Dratini!
"That's it! Blizzard!" Facing the high-speed Take Down of Mantine, Ash calmly issued out his order.
Blizzard was an attack he had just learned like an hour ago and now he was already using it in a real battle. Dorian watched helplessly as the sea water froze little by little, and then completely enveloped his Mantine.
Mantine ended up just like Lanturn, being frozen in ice.
"Mantine, come back quickly!" Dorian hurriedly took his Mantine back to its Poké Ball.
Both his Pokémon's were now frozen mercilessly. And now Dorian was no longer in any mood to battle Misty.
He was anxious to go to the Pokémon Center to recover them, but he invited the group to stay in the Gym for now.
The next day, Misty and Dorian completed a fierce three-on-three battle. Misty had become much stronger than her original self and was able to beat Dorian's three Pokémon without losing in of her own.
