Chapter 297: 297. Master Ball

Unknowingly, May, once just a rookie Trainer, already caught four Pokémon's of her own, and her newly caught Bulbasaur was also one that had a great fit with her from the very beginning.

But unlike Ash's Venusaur, or his Bulbasaur when he was first caught it when the past Ash had accidentally met it in that place for wild wounded Pokémon's. At that time, he was already an excellent specimen of a Bulbasaur that had seen the harsh realities of being an abandoned and wild Pokémon.

May's Bulbasaur on the other hand was very different, not only had she been staying in the large area of the Forbidden Forest, but she also protected by many other strong Grass-type Pokémon's, so she doesn't understand anything about the harshness of being a true wild Pokémon and thus had a very timid personality. This will test May to have enough patience and thoughtfulness to teach her the necessary skills that she needs.

This is what she must go through to become a real Top Coordinator.

After leaving the Forbidden Forest, Ash and his party AGAIN re-planned their route, and this time they came to a large lake.

It was rare to see such beautiful scenery in the middle of a dark forest, so May was in a obvious good mood. She seized the opportunity and started doing her own special training.

"Ash, what do you think of my Bulbasaur's skills?"

The skills Bulbasaur currently knows are nothing more than Vine Whip and Razor Leaf, which was not a versatile set of moves, but looking at May like this, she probably plans to use it in her Pokémon Contest that follows th standard move combinations to gain points.

Seeing May go off to practice by herself, Ash looked at the big lake and glanced at Brock from the corner of his mouth, "If Misty were here with us, she would definitely be clamoring to go fishing right about now, right, Brock?"

"Yeah, wr don't know how she is doing lately other than those occasional calls you make to her." Brock also smiled feeling a little nostalgic after thinking of their old friend.

Togetic came to Ash's side, and it seemed that she also missed Misty, who was like her mother. In the past, Misty would hold her with one hand even when she was busy fishing.

Seeing her be like this, Ash smiled and said, "Why don't we go fishing too? It's rare to encounter such a large and clear lake."

Brock readily also agreed to this.

Ralts and Togetic immediately cheered up after hearing their Trainer say this.

"Come out, Dratini, Torkoal, Duskull!" Ash had simply released all of his current Pokémon's with him. In this case, he might as well take a day off with them.

He than easily removed the Macho Brace he gave to Dratini and Torkoal to strengthen their bodies. When Torkoal heard about him getting a free day, he burst into his comman tears mode again. The recent training was really tiring for him, but that was ultimately for his own good wellbeing.

Duskull wasn't a fan of such an area where the broad daylight was downing on him, so he went back to rest up inside of his own Poké Ball.

Dratini happily jumped into the lake, but he didn't expect that the entire lake would be almost turned upside down and somehow now form a huge whirlpool in the middle without them knowing anything.

"Babe, what's going on?" May returned to Ash's side from where she was training, only to see a huge fish suddenly jump out of the water and trying to push Dratini into the air.

However, Dratini immediately used a Blizzard, freezing its big head into an ice cube.

"It's a Whiscash!" Max very quickly recognized the wild Pokémon in front of him, "This Whiscash is definitely bigger than a regular one I saw before in Dads Gym!"

"What are you doing to my Nero?" A tall, thin old man with gray silver hair appeared next to Asv and his group and asked them threateningly.

'Does this guy really call that wild Whiscash by a nickname?'

Dratini returned to Ash's and glanced at the lake with a new kind of disdain.

That fish was too big and could not be slowly suffocated by him yet, he will visit again when he becomes a Dragonite to end that smelly fish.

Ash gently touched the small horn on its head to comfort it. This was the future perfect Pseudo-Legendary that he is spending a lot of his energy, efforts, resources and time to train to the extreme, a real dragon warrior.

"Why do you call that huge Whiscash Nero?" Brock asked as the group sat down together.

The old man nodded, "That guy has lived in this place for more than a hundred years, possibly even more than that. He regards this whole lake as his territory as has been here for a long time!"

As he said this, the old man actually became enthusiastic, "And I, the legendary Fishing God Sullivan, who has been chasing Nero for over 50 years, am the greatest of them all!" He was very excited to announce this to the world.

"Doesn't this mean that you haven't been able to catch a Pokémon like Whiscash for more than half your life?" Max was really telling the truth, a hurting truth, but ultimately a truth nonetheless.

Hearing this, Sullivan was immediately heartbroken and shattered into pieces.

This time, it was May that hit Max on the head with her fist and scolded, "Max, you know you can't tell him the harsh truth!"

However, Sullivan ignored May's and Max's quarrelings and just threw them a bunch of fishing rods to their faces, "You kids just said you wanted to fish, right? I'll lend you these, hahaha!"

Not only did he just give them his fishing rods, but he also them various Pokémon-shaped fishing lures that were with him. He was really a fishing expert, carrying so many fishing rods with him and being able to perfectly hide them inside of him as if it was nothing serious.

However, Ash only wanted to fish because he missed his lovely girlfriend, Misty. So just for fun, he picked up a Pikachu-shaped bait and threw it out into the water.

Seeing this, Brock and the other two also started fishing respectively, but soon the two siblings lost all the patience they had, so Max insisted accompanied May to train her Pokémon's.

Togetic and Ralts were also very excited at first, but soon they fell into Ash's lap and fell deep asleep.

Dratini jumped down again to beat up some of the wild Pokémon's in the water, and Pikachu and Torkoal were chilling by Ash's side, thinking of how far they came from what they were.

Ash and Brock were silent here, as they had experienced the need of having patience during fishing, but Sullivan, who was not far away from them, was catching one Pokémon after another.

There were Carvanha, Magikarp, Remoraid, and even a Gyarados that looked at him with a tired expression.

This Gyarados was defeated caught by him many many times over the decades. Sullivan even said that he knew this Gyarados since it was an Egg.

But he didn't seem to care about these Water-type Pokémon's at all. His only target was the century-old Whiscash he calls Nero, so he released them all back into the water, but gently to not hurt them.

It seems that he really was a good fisherman, and it is not like Max thought that he was too and to catch that old Whiscash, it was simply that the old Whiscash was anything but comparative.

Although Sullivan had no idea where and what kind of Pokémon's were near him as he was in the darker parts of the lake, Ash's eyes lit up when he saw a Pokémon that caught his attention.

It was the rare Feebas!

During the first real Pokémon Contest that Ash had ever participated in, he was kind of envious of Robert's Milotic and thought that if he ever had the chance, he must train up a Milotic of his own.

But wild Milotics are almost, if not even, more rarer in the wild than wild fully evolved Pseudo-Legendary from what Ash had found from his research about this. Even with the luck of protagonist that he possesses, he had never seen them before with another Trainer or in the wild. Even this Feebas was the first time he's seen one from their evolutionary line in the wild.

Now that he had seen it, he can't miss the chance!

Then it was decided, Ash change his goal from a chill day to catching this wild Feebas.

But unexpectedly, just when Ash had decided to catch this Feebas, the fishing rod in his hand that had been so silent suddenly showed a strong pulling force.

"Is it that Nero?"

Seeing Ash's fishing rod bent to the maximum limit, Sullivan immediately dropped the fishing rod in his own hand and rushed over, "Relax your fishing line quickly, otherwise it will be easily tore apart!"

"That's won't be necessary." Ash's whole body flashed with a new blue light, and his body now shone with a powerful premonition, as if the fishing rod had been strengthened with his own force.

Then Ash's power exploded in a burst, pulling the the underwater Pokémon out of the water and into the land.

"Yes! It's my Nero, this is what I was waiting for!" Seeing the century-old Whiscash being so easily fished out of the water by Ash, Sullivan became very excited and decisively threw his Poké Ball, "Go ahead! Hannah!"

What he sent out was a Flaaffy, which was the pre-evolution form of the Ampharos that Ash had seen so many times in his journey.

"Flaaffy, use Dynamic Punch!" Ash's head instantly turned to that direction when he saw this skill. He very well knew how good the Ampharos line was good at being a Special Attacker, but they were also known for being a bad Physical Attacker.

But, Sullivan, as a fisherman, it's not surprising that there was an Electric-type Pokémon near him. Probably in order to deal with Whiscash's Ground-type immunity to its Electric-type attacks, this Flaaffy learned how to use Dynamic Punch.

This Flaaffy, or Hannah, was quite powerful for a Flaaffy, as she actually knocked Whiscash away with one single punch. Then she avoided Whiscash's Water Gun and hit him with an Iron Tail to reduce his health even more.

Now was the time to throw the Poké Ball he had waited for years, decades.

"In order to catch Nero, I spent 50 years to get this Master Ball in my hands, and now it's finally time to use it!" Then there was a purple Poké Ball that Sullivan took out from his arms.

It was the legendary Master Ball.

The same Poké Ball that can 100% catch any Pokémon without failure, well at least in the games.

However, Sullivan was so proud that he actually raised the Master Ball and said while looking down at Whiscash, "Nero, I have been chasing you for more than 50 years, and now out long battle is finally coming to an end!"

As he spoke, he threw out his Master Ball, but he had already missed the best opportunity to capture it when it wasn't looking at him.

The Master Ball was actually eaten by this fat Whiscash in one single bite.

Suddenly, Sullivan was in a position that he had no idea of what to do.

After eating the precious Master Ball, this Whiscash actually wanted to run away, but Ash was not willing to let him do that. His eyes flashed with a dark pink light and trapped him Nero in one place, Whiscash was now unable to even move.

Then Ash hung it upside down, with its big head facing down, and with a slight lift, the Master Ball was spit out.

Ash took a blue Great Ball from his collection, caught the old Whiscash, handed it to Sullivan, and said with a smile, "Mr. Sullivan, how about I trade this Great Ball for your Master Ball?"

"Absolutely YES! You can take it, you don't even need to ask me! Thanks to you, I finally completed my decades worth of dreams!"


Chapter 298: 298. Feebas

Ash never really would have thought that the Master Ball, which was extremely precious in this real world with only 10 or so ever made (he learned this through Professor Oak), would now be in his hands because of a Great Ball. As someone who had the dream to become the Pokémon Master in the future, how could he not enjoy the Master Ball in his hand?

Originally, when Sullivan took out the Master Ball, Ash did not have the idea of just taking it for himself, as it really wasn't his.

And after all, it belonged to someone who had dedicated themselves to accomplishing this very dream for over 50 years. Who was he ti just take it from them?

But Sullivan ultimate failed to catch his dream, and the Master Ball was eaten by it.

At this time, Ash took the Master Ball back into his hands and used one of the Great Balls from his collection to catch this infamous century-old Whiscash. Of course, Sullivan was not one of those people who would refuse such an exchange.

He happily handed over the ownership of Master Ball to Ash's care, feeling very happy holding the new Great Ball.

And Ash's harvest in this lake was not even over yet.

Not far away from where he was, the Rocket Trio were also doing some fishing for themselves, and they were now riding on an old and rusty looking speedboat that they found in the middle of the forest which they than fixed up.

They have been following Ash for some time now, making a lot of money from the various ventures that they encountered along the way, and paying off part of the debt owed to their organization. During this time, they have been quite peaceful, so Ash ignores them and just pays them when they give him some useful information.

The bait they were now using was the hard earned rare bottle caps collected by James over the years. But how could they catch things with these?

"It's impossible to catch anything with these useless things!" Jessie pulled up her old looking Fishing Rod, then looking down at the shabby 14-year-old bottle cap, and complained boredly but angrily.

"Oh, Jessie, we took the opportunity to take a day off while boss Ash was also resting, so let's just enjoy our hard earned free leisure time, meow." Meowth, felling that his life has been going well recently after following Ash's commands, was now very satisfied with this new life of his.

Suddenly, Jessie felt a strong pulling force on her long pink hair behind her, almost pulling her down into the water.

"James, Meowth, come and help me!"

With their help, Jessie was able to escape from that grasp, and at that moment, she actually caught a rare Feebas with her long hair.

"This looks like Feebas, mean!" Meowth recognized the Pokémon's identity after thinking for a few seconds.

"What kind of trouble is this ugly thing going to do my perfect preety hair!" Jessie glanced at it with a newfound disgust and bought it back into the lake with a snap of her fingers.

But not long after she sat down to continue her fishing venture, that same Feebas bit her hair again and this time actually pulled her into the cold water.

"Jessie!" James and Meowth rushed to the rescue, and the frantic movement and noise from their side finally attracted Ash's attention.

Ash put away his new Master Ball in his protective bag and rushed over there while footing, and saw that what was hanging on Jessie's hair was exactly his target.

With a flash of pink light, Feebas was pulled in front of him into the air, and Jessie was also rescued by him.

"Thanks, bye! See you kit soon!"

With that said, Ash turned around and flew away with his new Feebas, without giving the Rocket trio a chance to react!

"That Feebas was taken away by boss Ash, meow!" Meowth looked at Ash's flying retreating back and seemed to remember something about something else that was important.

"I knew I forgot something important! That Feebas is the same one that will eventually evolve into that beautiful Milotic we saw in that Pokémon Contest from Slateport City!" James flipped through the all the Pokémon cards he collected and finally connected that Feebas evolves into the beautiful Milotic.

"What did you just say now, James? A Milotic? My Milotic?" Hearing this, Jessie immediately fluttered up, "The most beautiful Pokémon in the world is evolved from that ugly looking fish?"

Thinking that "her" future Milotic was actually taken away by Ash just now, Jessie was so angry that she gritted her teeth like nails scratching off a blackboard and said, "Damn it, so what if it's our little boss, James, Meowth, our new target is snatching that Feebas and Pikachu, let's start our operation!"

Still unchanged as ever before, the Rocket Trio were still following Ash and his party.

"Ash, what Pokémon did you bring back this time?" Seeing that Ash coming back with a new Pokémon, May and the other three hurriedly gathered around them.

Sullivan had already left with satisfaction, is he didn't get to see Ash flying around.

"May, it's a Feebas!" Max recognized this infamous Pokémon at a glance.

"Really now, it doesn't look that good."

May didn't know that just now she had a 140 points of compatibility with this Feebas, but with this sentence alone, it dropped to just a pitiful 10 points.

"May, Feebas evolves into the same Milotic that you have always wanted to catch." Max reminded May again.

After all, no one with a decent eye can associate the ugly looking fish, Feebas, will evolve into the beautiful and serpentine looking Milotic. The only way they could know about this is if they had already known about this from a different source.

"What?" May's expression suddenly brightened up, her eyes sparkling, "Love, can you give me this Feebas? Preety please!"

However, Ash jsut shook his head and refused on the spot.

The compatibility between the two was almost at a freezing point with 5, and there was no way for her to train Feebas from this stage. When she said about Feebas looking very ugly, it was already set in stone that it can't be changed anymore.

And Ash's compatibility with this Feebas was also higher than it initially had with May, now it had reached 160, which was not low by any stretch of the imagination.

This Feebas didn't seem to be doing well in this lake full of wild Whiscash's. She also had no fighting ability and looked a little too thin for her own good.

But this does not stop her from having a heart that yearns for more beauty, and this was why she bit Jessie's hair several times before. It was precisely because she felts that a beautiful person like Jessie can make herself beautiful, so she turned to her for help.

And from this moment onwards, she slowly begin to pin her beautiful dreams on Ash, the compatibility between them was constantly improving because of this fact.

"Ohh..." May said in a little frustrated voice while looking a bit dejected.

Ash took out a new red Poké Ball without explaining anything further, "I will teleport you back first to the Lab. Slowking will take good care of you there under the clear instructions I will give to him, so enjoy your time there. You need to take good care of yourself first and become more healthy and happy. I will train you to be the most beautiful Milotic in the world when you are ready! You got it, buddy?"

Feebas' somewhat dull eyes suddenly flashed with light, and she nodded fiercely. With Ash's Psychic, she flew forward and hit her head on Ash's new Poké Ball!

"I just caught a Feebas!"

Ash did his signature catching pose with Pikachu and Ralts on his shoulders while Togetic was on his head. It felt like a while since he last did it, but he did the same thing when he caught his Duskull not long ago.

Feebas: 165/170

After leaving the lake area, Ash and his party quickly arrived at one of the towns near here, Rubello Town.

He temporarily teleported his Feebas back and gave it to Slowking to take care of under his clear instructions. Ash believe that with his help, Feebas will have a stronger body soon and than he can lay the solid foundation for her future evolution.

There are two ways for Feebas to evolve into a Milotic. First was the need to increasin a hidden part of a Pokémon called Beauty, which was related to the Pokémon condition and how they looked as the name states. It requires specific Berries to make Pokéblocks and other things to slowly improve it.

These Pokéblocks were a little different from the food that he usually gives to his own Pokémon's.

When Feebas' beauty reaches a certain stage, they will evolve into the beautiful Milotic.

This was the favorite and most wanted Pokémon of any Pokémon's Coordinators, but it takes a lot of effort to evolve it from a Feebas. Not to mention how obnoxiously rare they were in the wild, even in places where they could be found more like swamps, they are extremely difficult to see and find.

Of course, for Ash, the evolution part of Feebas was not that troublesome. There was also an evolution item that is not found in this world that is exclusive to Feebas, called the Prism Scale.

This thing was impossible to find in his world, but it is extremely simple for Ash to get his hands on it.

Ash had a System, as simple as that. Except for items related to Legendary and Mythical Pokémon's that he can't exchange them with his Exchange Points, he can exchange for most of the items in this world. Although the highest level of the Prism Scale was quite expensive, since it is produced by his System, it was definitely worth every point that he had to pay for.

So what he had to do now was wait for his Feebas to take good care of herself under him, and he can then get a Milotic of his own.

"Yo, everyone, look at that!" Coming out of the Pokémon Center, Max's eyes were glued to one thing, and he immediately saw the poster on the window near to them, "Isn't that the poster for a Pokémon Contest?"

"There's a Pokémon Contest happening here! And it will be held the day after tomorrow!" May was also very pleasantly surprised, but she was happy to see it.
