Although the Whirl Cup competition is over, since there is one last island left in the Whirl Islands, there is certainly no reason not to go there and check it out and see what that is all about.
Silver Rock Isle, this place seems to particularly admire the appearance of Silver Wings, decorative products, snacks, and key rings.
Almost everything is in the shape of a Silver Wing.
Especially the decorative products and small jewelry are all made of silver rock, which is a specialty here, and they all are very beautiful.
Although they had seen the real thing before, Ash and his party still bought some Silver Wings products from the island. Each of them had a Silver Feather pancake, which made their mouths full of joy. It tasted really good, highy recommended, fuuuuuuiiyyyyaaa.
"Big Brother, aren't these Silver Wings Lugia's feathers? Is this island related to Lugia?" Molly reacted quickly and immediately thought of the resemblance between what she remembered and what she sees.
As the adopted daughter of that Phantom Entei, this little girl has had a strong interest and yearning to see the Legendary Pokémon's since she was a child!
"Yes, that's true, we have to investigate this don't we?!" Ash smiled, and saw Molly give her pancakes to her Jigglypuff which already ate her part.
"Welcome!" A man with a mustache suddenly appeared in front of Ash and his group, holding a jewelry box in his hand. "Everyone, when you go on a happy trip, you must buy some presents and pick out some Silver Wings that bring happiness. How about some of these?"
"100% purity, guaranteed pure Silver Rock needles made of the most purest of rocks. If you buy one now, three will be given to you as a limited time gift! This kind of opportunity doesn't come around every day!"
After saying that, he asked Ash and his group to come closer, but Ash pushed him away, "So you said, this is 100% pure silver Rock?"
Before the mustache could answer, a older girl stood up and said, "Boss, I want this one!"
Ash just picked one up and broke it off immediately, "See, it's totally fake!"
The mustache ran away, and the girl just cursed at that guy, "There are too many deceitful businessmen in this area recently! Can't even buy anything real from them."
Ash just shook his head. Anyone with a normal IQ would know that there are pitfalls in a good thing like buy one and get three free.
But that guy happened to encounter a few people who had a hole in their heads. The Rockets Trio followed Ash after seeing him on the island. After hearing such a good thing as buy one and get three free with it, they immediately bought all of the items from that fake mustaches wearing guy.
The girl they just met was called Arielle, and she runs a Silver Rock Decorate specialty shop in this town with her friend, so she hates scammers who sell the fake stuff and ruin the name of their item.
"On this island, the Silver Wings made from the Silver Rock present on the island is considered to have a protective effect on the wearer of the thing!" Arielle introduced to Ash and his group about the whole thing that was going on.
"Is there any story or legend here about this?"
Ash and his party are looking forward to hearing some legends about Lugia and his deeds.
It turns out that a long, long time ago, on a sunny day, when a ship passed through the nearby waters, it suddenly encountered a terrible hurricane rain.
The thunder was deafening and the waves were extremely turbulent!
Unprecedented waves hit the people on the ship, and at that moment when everyone was almost in despair and thought of their imminent death, a large twister appeared from the bottom of the sea, emitting dazzling light from it!
It penetrated the dark clouds in the high sky, and then the sky cleared up and the sea surface became calm again just like before!
At that time, what fell from the sky was a beautiful Silver glowing feather!
"That mysterious Pokémon which later gave the people that feather rescued them and gave them new hope!" All the crew members believed that he was their god. Since then, the Silver Wing-shaped decorative item has been considered a talisman that will bring happiness and protection to the ones that will wear them.
"Big Brother, that mysterious Pokémon must be Lugia! Can we see that Lugia?" Molly cheered loudly, and then she came to Arielle, "Big sister, could you please tell more about this?"
However, legends are legends, and Arielle only knows so much, "But after that, the crew seemed to land on Ogi Isle!"
Ogi Isle is a small island near Silver Rock Isle, so the next destination of the group is there on that island!
After saying goodbye to Arielle, Ash and his group came to a cave at the mouth of Silver Rock Isle in high spirits. As long as they passed through this cave, they could reach Ogi Isle!
"Molly, aren't you scared? It's so dark inside here." This cave goes all the way down and has obviously reached the bottom of the sea. It is not so much a cave as it is an undersea tunnel!
However, Molly shook her head and held Ash's hand more tightly, "As long as Big Brother is here with me, I'm not afraid!"
"That's good to hear!" Misty nodded, "It's really is incredible to be able to walk in a cave under the sea, even if we can't see anything. The felling of walking under water is something I really want to feel."
Soon, the group saw what was in front of them, the so called Ogi Isle was right in front of their eyes!
They quickly ran out of the cave, and suddenly they felt the cool sea breeze hit their body, and from the exit, they also saw a green grassland!
The wind blew through the grass, and a very familiar-looking Pikachu appeared imfront of their eyes!
Ash, Misty, Brock, and Ash's Pikachu immediately recognized this Pikachu when they saw the tuft of hair on its head, "Sparky?
Pikachu jumped down from his Trainers shoulder and greeted his old friend who he hadn't seen in months.
This Pikachu's Trainer is called Ritchie, a strong opponent and friend that Ash met at the beginning of the Indigo Plateau Conference. At that time, his predecessor was in a battle with him. He lost because his Charizard was still very disobedient to him and had no sense of fighting then, and because of that, he stopped only in the top 16 of the tournament.
This Ritchie has a similar team to his Pokémon that he captured in the Kanto Region, including Pikachu, Butterfree, and Charmander, but none of them were shown to be disobedient to him like his had.
But being able to catch one of the Three Royal Starters is enough to show that Ritchie is also a very lucky Trainer.
Sure enough, Ritchie showed up soon after his Pikachu!
"Ash, long time no see, we haven't seen each other since the Indigo Plateau Conference. You have changed so much that I almost didn't recognize you!" Ritchie was shocked when he looked at Ash and his new style and appearance.
Is this still the same Ash that he knew?
He's taller, stronger, and more handsome yeah he was back then!
But no matter how things change, the friendship a Trainers makes will never change. "I never thought we could meet again in such a place like this. It seems we are destined to meet here!"
Sparky and Togepi also played a lot. Now Togepi has two Pikachu to play with, so she is very happy.
"By the way, Ritchie, why are you here?"
"I'm here to find the mysterious Pokémon that was mentioned here from the people!"
Hearing what Ritchie said, Molly ran over and asked, "Brother Ritchie, have you discovered anything about than?"
"This is Molly, my little sister!" Ash pulled her over and made her sat next to him.
Ritchie smiled and said, "Before I came here, I researched a lot of information about this mysterious Pokémon. Based on the testimony of witnesses, I sorted out the places and whereabouts of mysterious Pokémon. And I found that Ogi Isle is a good place to hide, so I came here to take a look!"
So, the conclusions coincide!
The people who were investigating this matter met again in this place, which means that this is the place that the group are also looking for!
"Ash, I suggest that we start looking over there, like that kind of uninhabited island, where a mysterious Pokémon may live in to hide from the people!" Ritchie pointed out the direction of the investigation!
"Okay!" Ash threw Lapras' Poké Ball, "Lapras, let's get ready!"
