Bab 200: 200. The Hoenn Adventure Begins
When he woke up the next day, he felt full of energy and ready to battle.
"Mom, I'm going to the Professor's Laboratory to take a look at my Pokémon's!" The second thing he did when he got home was, of course, to take a look at all his Pokémon's at the same place.
So after breakfast, Ash couldn't wait to go out.
"Huh?" Standing on top of the large hillside of Pallet Town, Ash clearly saw a big golden bird flying in the direction of the Hoenn Region in the morning glow.
"Gary has already left?" When Ash arrived at Professor Oak's Laboratory, he heard that Gary had already left before they could meet each other.
"Gary told me that he had found a new goal. I guess he was too excited to wait for you his time!" Tracey thought he could understand Gary's mood a little.
"He said he wanted to return to where he started, taking only his Starter Pokémon Blastoise and leaving all his other Pokémon behind to rest. Now we don't know when he will come back the next time!"
Professor Oak was very happy with Gary's growth, "By the way, Ash, what are your plans right now?"
"I plan to stay in Pallet Town for a few days to hang out with my Pokémon's, and then I would take Dratini and Pikachu with me to the Hoenn Region!" Ash said his plan very honestly.
Bringing Pikachu was inevitable, and bringing Dratini was planned by him from the beginning he caught Dratini.
It takes a lot of energy to cultivate a Pseudo-Legendary, so Dratini must be one of Ash's resident Pokémon during his trip to the Hoenn Region. It won't be exchanged easily!
In addition, Ash also plans to use the Book of Boarding to bring all his Unown's with him, as well as the GS Ball hanging around his neck, which contains the little sleeping Celebi.
Arriving at the backyard of Professor Oak's Laboratory, Ash first found his Slowking and said, "Slowking, thank you for your hard work while I wasn't here!"
Slowking had always carried Macho Brace on him, and now he looks stronger than he should. It slowly turned around, looked at Ash with his very intelligent eyes, and slowly showed a smile, "Ash, you are back just like I sensed you when you came back. Just in time too, come with me!"
Under the leadership of Slowking, Ash came to a large beautiful waterfall, where his Suicune was staying, and under the waterfall, it was Ash's Dratini.
It turns out that he had completed another molting again!
"That's great, Dratini!" Dratini came to Ash's side and coiled around him in a flash. Feeling its power, Ash immediately smiled and said, "You have grown up a lot since I first caught you!"
Carrying his Dratini on his back, Ash found his Rhydon was sparring with his Tyranitar.
"Rhydon, buddy, it's time for you to evolve!"
Hearing Ash's voice, Rhydon suddenly burst out with strength, pushing Tyranitar back a step, and then strode to Ash's side with longing and expectation in his eyes!
"Haha, after you evolve, you will be even bigger than Tyranitar!" Ash smiled and handed the Protector he exchanged from the System Store for his Rhydon to evolve!
The color of the Protector created by the System is close to a reddish gold color, not the orange like the real one. Someone can feel its hardness just by touching it!
The result is just as Ash's expected, under the light of evolution, Rhydon's body was constantly expanding, and it does not stop until it reaches the height of 3.5 meters that his Tyranitar dreamed of.
His body was very terrifyingly strong now, and its waistline is much too thick. Its whole body is covered in a red-gold plate armor with the appearance resembling that of a the Protector he used to evolve with, which shows its strong defensive power.
The most frightening thing is the pair of long-awaited strong arms. This is something that even his Tyranitar would envy.
Rhyperior can stuff rocks into the holes in the palm and launch it with the power of his muscles. It is extremely powerful and fast!
"RHYPERIOR!"
After the evolution, Rhyperior roared loudly. When Ash nodded, he turned back and struck Tyranitar. It couldn't wait to try the powerful power after completing his evolution!
Watching the battle between the two bosses giants, Phanpy jumped up and down with excitement. It was looking forward to having such a powerful power.
————————————————————
"Ash, these are some new clothes and backpack! I knew you would go out again soon after you came back, so I prepared them all in advance!"
After staying at home for a few days, Ash carefully checked and confirmed the status of all his Pokémon, and finally decided to go to the Hoenn Region as his next destination. Just as he was about to say goodbye to his mother, she was already standing in front of his holding all of his new belongings.
"Mothers understand the mood of their children the best, so you have to travel well and don't leave any regrets for yourself." In addition to the new equipments, Delia also prepared a first class S.S Ticket to Hoenn for Ash.
After bidding farewell to his Mother, Ash then went to Professor Oak's Laboratory and obtained the Pokémon Pokédex that Professor Oak recently researched on, which contains most of the Hoenn Region Pokémon's data.
"Ash, the reward I promised you will be fulfilled soon enough. Just go on your trip without any regrets. The Alliance and I will always be your strongest backers!"
Professor Oak patted Ash on his shoulders. The young boy who was late to even getting his Starter Pokémon has grown into such a reliable Trainer. He will definitely become a Pokémon Master and become the pride of the Kanto Region!
"Yes, Professor Oak, then I'll be off!"
After leaving Pallet Town, Ash went to the Pallet Harbor and boarded the passenger ship to head to his next big challenge, the Hoenn Region!
His goal was simple, becoming the Hoenn Ever Grande Conference Champion!
This trip on the sea will be much longer than before. After all, the two regions are far apart. It is rare for Ash to enjoy such a peaceful sea journey without someone interrupting him.
"It's so leisurely. Pikachu, Dratini, why don't you think this passenger ship holds a Pokémon battle contest or something?"
"Pi pi pi!"
Ash was a little too idle. He had been sailing at sea for two days and had nothing to do except let Dratini go to the sea to bully some of the Water-type Pokémon's he encountered along the way.
He wanted to take his Phanpy with him too but he wanted to train under Tyranitar and Ash's newly evolved Rhyperior for some time before he went with Ash.
Finally, they can see the shadow of Littleroot Town on the horizon.
"Hoenn Region, here we come!"
Ash walked off the ship with his Pikachu on his shoulder, looked back at the direction of the cargo hold for a few seconds, but he ultimately decided to ignore them because he was not in any mood to deal with them.
"Pikachu, now we are in the Hoenn Region!" With that, Ash took his first step towards the Hoenn Region and his next journey.
And just form the direction of the cargo bay where Ash was looking, the Rockets Trio emerged form it.
In fact, the Rockets Trio have been following Ash and his group since they left Silver Town.
They set up their hot Air Baloon and followed behind Ash to Molly's wnd and her dads home. They then secretly followed Ash and his group into the plane, and returned to the Pokémon Center where they first met Ash.
After that, they decided that they would continue to follow Ash and target his Pikachu for the rest of their lives until they finally catch it for their boss!
During the Silver Conference, with the encouragement of Ash, the Rockets did very well in their business and made a lot of money, so they were able to repay a small part of their organizational debt back to their boss.
Now they are full of hope for their future. They wanted to pay off their debts first before anything else.
Ash didn't even care about them right now. Although they caused him a lot of extra unnecessary trouble for him, they did also help him a lot, even if they were the reason he was there in the first place. They have known each other for a very long time, so there is always that small feeling between them.
Now Ash wants to go to Littleroot Town and first visit Professor Birch first before he could go anywhere else.
"Hello, I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town!" After arriving at Professor Birch Laboratory, he was greeted by the Professor's assistant.
"Ash, welcome to the Hoenn Region. Professor Birch has already explained your matter to us! I'm really sorry but Professor Birch went into the wild for his research purposes just now!"
The assistant looked quite embarrassed, but Ash thought it was no problem at all for him, and also felt very impressed by Professor Birch.
Harrison also said that Professor Birch is a Pokémon Professor who pays great attention to field observation. His ability to act like this just shows his deep love for Pokémon and their natural habits.
"In this case, can I go find Professor Birch? It just so happens that I also want to take a brief walk around here to see the Pokémon that can be found in this part of the Hoenn Region."
The assistant saw the Pikachu on Ash's shoulder and knew that this was one of the strongest Pokémon's belonging to the Champion of the Johto Region Silver Conference. Of course, he was not worried that Ash and Pikachu would encounter any danger nearby to them , so he agreed very easily but still told them to be careful.
Ash took Pikachu into the nearby jungle. Speaking of Hoenn Region, Ash had almost completely forgotten the plot after being in this world for about a year and even in his last life because it was so long ago to him.
The only memory he still some of the core stuff from the previous Pokémon Emerald game. It was at that time that Professor Birch was attacked by a wild weak Zigzagoon at the beginning of the game.
He will ask the nearby protagonist to select a Royal Starter Pokémon from his backpack and help him drive away the Zigzagoon.
Ash don't know what things he will encounter in this world since it was all so real to him, but Ash is still looking forward to his trip around the Hoenn Region.
Although he would never leave his old Pokémon in the backyard of Professor Oak Laboratory without them being supervised and trained under one of his older Pokémon's, in a way, he had the same idea as Gary. He came to a new Region with a new power, catching new Pokémon's to use and training them to be stronger than they could ever expect. To make new friends and rivals around his the journey.
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu's ears pricked up, as if he had discovered something close to them, and he quickly took Ash to the grass and to the nearby car!
Ash's whole body flashed with blue a light, and he suddenly laughed outloud. He didn't expect that the plot in this reality was so similar to the one from the game!
On a hillside deeper in the jungle, Professor Birch accidentally stepped on nothing but air and fell down hard, which happened to anger a few Poochyena's that was living there.
When he fell, he dropped his backpack on the hillside. At the moment, he was unarmed and could only climb up the trunk and hold on to the branches to prevent himself from being attacked.
But this obviously won't last long because he was too heavy for the weak branch.
At this time, a Rookie Trainer happened to be riding by, and Professor immediately asked her help by using the Poké Ball in his backpack to help drive away these wild Poochyenas.
The girl, who looked be around 16 years old, threw a Poké Ball at random, and what came out was a blue colored Pokémon. It was Mudkip, the Water-type Royal Starter Pokémon for the Hoenn Region!
But this girl didn't seem to understand what a Trainer should do. She followed Professor Birch's instructions and said "Water Gun", and was instead sprayed by the Mudkip on her face.
Ash used his power over Aura to sense all this from a distance. When he rushed there himself, the girl was already very soaked, and the branch Professor Birch was holding was broken, causing him to fall down.
"Pikachu, Thunder Shock!"
The strong yet held back thunder accurately landed between Professor Birch and the several Poochyenas. The Poochyenas were immediately frightened away when they heard and saw the reason.
Not only that, but the bicycle the girl rode over was electrocuted and turned into a piece of scrap.
Seeing such a scene, Ash didn't even want to complain about it. Misty's bicycle had just been repaired, but now another one was scrapped by him.
His Pikachu definitely has a issue with bikes.
