Ever since Ash saved Andrea's house with the help of his Blastoise, Ash began to like this feeling.
So on the way from Yellow Stone Isle to Red Rock Isle, Ash summoned his Lapras and Blastoise.
He let Lapras carry Misty and the three of them while he rode on top of his Blastoise.
Speaking of which, the ratio of Kanto's Three Royal Starter Families is very interesting. After completing their final evolution, they have all land, sea and air. Although riding on top of Venusaur around is a little awkward, it is possible to do so.
"Big Brother, I wants to ride on him too!" Molly seems to like such sports very much from a young age.
"Hey! Hello!" Ash was enjoying surfing with Molly. An old boat sailed towards them, and the person who greeted them was another good-looking girl.
"Are you going to Red Rock Isle?" The young lady came to Ash and Molly, and Lapras quickly came over with Misty and Brock on top of him.
Misty smiled and said, "Yes, we are going to participate in the Whirl Cup being held there!"
After the group of people introduced themselves, the young lady named Luka was also about to go to Red Rock Isle. Since they met by chance on the sea, she wanted to give them a ride.
"Thank you so much, Miss Luka!" Brock jumped onto the boat.
Now that this was the case, Ash and his party had no choice but to board the ship.
However, the boat was not very fast, so Ash simply summoned a few Pokémon and asked Blastoise to take care of them, and followed the boat to enjoy the sea water breeze at the deck.
Kingler couldn't swim fast enough, so he had to stay on Lapras' back, but Croconaw swam very happily with Blastoise and Lapras.
"Miss Luka's diving equipment can be used to talk in the water. It's a good thing if you go underwater!" After getting on the boat, Ash and his team immediately spotted the good things piled on the deck.
"The equipment here is great!" Misty is also very professional at diving.
Ash came to Luka who was sailing the boat, but saw a nautical chart on a photo frame in her hand, with a clear point marked on it.
"Miss Luka, what is this a nautical chart?" Because it was only a partial chart, Ash couldn't tell which sea area it was.
Misty dared to think, "I know, it's definitely a treasure map!"
"Treasure map!" Molly rushed over after hearing the treasure map, "I want to go and hunt for treasure! Hunt for treasure underwater!"
She really loved doing such dangerous things.
"Absolutely. Although it's not gold or silver or anything like that, to me, it's a even more important thing than all those combined!" The young lady admitted openly without any hesitation.
It turns out that Luka's family has been studying Pokémon in this sea area for generations. She discovered her great-grandfather's diary and map while cleaning the attic some time ago.
It read, "After years of investigation, the real Silver Wing has finally been found!"
"Silver Wing?" Misty and Brock exclaimed together, then looked at Ash together.
Luka was also a little frightened by their reaction, "What's wrong, have you seen the Silver Wing before or something?"
They nodded blankly, their eyes never leaving Ash.
"Ash?"
Seeing her confused, questioning, and longing eyes, Ash had no choice but to say honestly, "Well, I did get a Silver Wing before, and if you want to ask what it is, it is actually the feather of the Legendary Pokémon, Lugia!"
The Silver Wing that Ash got should be different from the one that Luka's great-grandfather got. The Silver Wing that he had contained Lugia's power and could activate the mysterious GS Ball.
And what Luka's great-grandfather got was probably just one of Lugia's fallen feathers!
When it came to legends, almost everyone had the same reaction. Luka was also stunned, "Could it be that the mysterious Pokémon swimming around the Whirl Islands is this Lugia?"
"So Miss Luka, what happened to that Silver Wing?" Misty asked with a bit of concern.
Before answering this question, Luka was curious about Ash's Silver Wing, "Ash, where is your Silver Wing? Can you lend it to me?"
However, Ash can only regret to tell her, "Sorry, I sent it home to my mother!"
"Oh… okay!" She sounded a little disappointed but still nodded and said, "That Silver Wing was swept up in the whirlpool along with great-grandfather's I.S.S Raspberry and sank to the depths of the ocean floor!"
So it is obvious that the location marked on the navigation chart is the place where the Radsberry sank!
Indeed, it was something of extraordinary significance to both Luka and her great-grandfather, and it went far beyond the Silver Wing itself.
"Treasure hunt! Treasure hunt! I wants to go treasure hunting for this!"
Ash and Brock also got excited. When they thought about the vast sea, they thought of all the treasures hiding there, and when they thought about actually going treasure hunting, they felt something different about this!
Like this is what they are supposed to do.
So the goal changed, and Ash and his team decided to follow Luka to hunt for treasure at the site of that shipwreck!
This is the joy of traveling!
No one can imagine what kind of encounters there will be. What is important is not the result of the treasure hunt, but the whole process! Well, for most times but not this time because it also holds a deep meaning to someone.
Obviously Luka has been to that shipwreck site many times, so she wears such advanced diving equipment, but why has she never able to gain anything from all her searching?
Perhaps because they were familiar with each other, Luka also started to trust them and asked them a very important question, "Does anyone want to come with me?"
"Me!" Molly was the first to jump out and raise her hand!
Of course Ash is going, as usual, he could just tie her to his back!
"Blastoise, Croconaw, you two come down with me!" Ash told his two Pokemon's after putting on his equipment.
Although Ash has quite a lot of Water-type Pokémon with him now, Kingler is not good at speed and Lapras is still too weak to go deep diving, so these two are the only ones suitable for this.
Luka released her three Magikarps, which is considered the weakest Water-type Pokémon but has a strong ability to survive in any kind of water.
The scenery under the sea is completely different from that above the sea. It's like entering a completely different world.
The Shellders stuck out their tongues on the rocks, the Tentacool drifted with the current, and Ash also saw a Horsea just chilling by itself.
This little guy is able to use Dragon Scale to eventually evolve into Kingdra with the Dragon typing. It can be said to be the easiest Dragon-type Pokémon for a regular trainer to obtain, they just have to be very lucky to find or buy a Dragon Scale. Ash felt the compatibility of this one is too low to be with him.
"It's so beautiful under here!" Molly is still young after all, and there are only so many ways to express her admiration for beauty.
Ash patted her on the head and could see the ship sinking with both hands right away!
However, after seeing the sunken ship, Luka took Ash and Molly and hid first, "Magikarp, please!" Obviously she wanted to show Ash the problems that would be encountered here, hoping that Ash would be able to solve this issue of hers.
Her three Magikarps approached the ship, but were quickly driven out by a Mantine.
"Blastoise, it's up to you to blast them away!" Ash sent out the his first Water-type Pokémon, Blastoise, to deal with this wild Mantine.
"Miss Luka, take Croconaw to follow you to the sunken ship. If there are any Pokémon inside there, it will be easy to deal with them using him!"
This is the best arrangement he could think right now!
"Blastoise, use Skull Bash!"
The power of the Skull Bash in the water became even more powerful than normal, but this powerful and heavy attack was easily dodged by the even faster Mantine.
"Big Brother, Mantine is a dual Water-type and Flying-type Pokémon. Being in water is like flying to it! It would be great if Pikachu was here!" Molly began to understands more and more about battling while being with him.
"It's okay, I'm is the best. Trust me!" Ash smiled softly, "Blastoise, use Rapid Spin to block its movement!"
The Rapid Spin in the water set off a Whirlpool, and Mantine circled into it!
"Now, Water Pulse!"
Because of using Water Pulse in the water, there was a strong impact of the water flow, which suddenly broke the Whirlpool and hit the Mantine head-on!
"Ash, I got it, let's go up now!"
They defeated Mantine here, and Luka also succeeded in her original goal. Ash knew what might happen inside of the ship because of his Croconaw, there was a large family of Remoraid living in the sunken ship. They and Mantine used this place as their lair.
If Croconaw hadn't followed her, it would have been really hard to get hold of what she wanted.
After recovering the Silver Wing from the sunken ship, Ash and his party, escorted by Luka, finally arrived at Res Rock Isle!
————————————————————
Thank you for your Power Stones!
Ash and his party finally arrived at the place where the Whirl Cup competition is held at, Scarlet City on Red Rock Isle!
The place is bustling with Trainers like Ash and Misty who came here to participate in the competition.
"I will definitely win the championship in this tournament!" In this kind of tournament where you use Water-type Pokémon, Misty will never give in to Ash!
"This Whirl Cup is just right for me to become a Water Pokémon Master, this will be a stepping stone for my journey to greatness!"
Because there are so many participants, the Whirl Cup competition will conduct preliminaries in advance to eliminate most of the weaker participating trainers, as there is many trainers participating every time.
So the first thing Ash and his team have to do is go to the Pokémon Center in Scarlet City and sign up for the actual tournament!
They signed up before but that was only for the tournament hosts to get the approximate numbers of people.
Sure enough, when they got to the Pokémon Center, there was a long queue of people ready to sign up.
"There are so many people coming to sign up!" Misty and Ash decided to line up in that long line, while Brock took Molly and Pikachu to rest nearby in a restaurant.
Meganium was teleported back to the lab when they go to the Whirl Islands, thus making Molly walk on her own during the whole trip to the Whirl Islands. However, she had a great time and never complained once of being tired. The other three members of the group were used to their long journeys but they were still a little surprised that a little girl like Molly could keep up with them.
Fortunately, the registration procedure was very simple, and soon it was their turn for signing up.
"I'm Ash from Pallet Town!"
"I'm Misty from Cerulean City!"
After reporting the place of birth and name, the registration process was completed. Very simple. Nurse Joy looked at the two of them and said, "The preliminaries will be held in sixteen venues. This is a map of the venues!"
Ash had to go to Venue A for his match while Misty had her match at Venue B.
Nurse Joy introduced that the preliminaries are in the form of a knockout round, as there are only 64 places for participants to enter the main tournament.
Judging from the number of people who signed up this year, Ash only needs to defeat two opponents to qualify for the tournament.
"All in all, as long as we win two battles it will be enough for us to qualify!" Both Misty and Ash looked very relaxed at this.
After completing the registration process, Ash took their group to eat and rest up.
After all, many businesses have taken a fancy to business opportunities in such a large-scale competition. On this triennial day, whether it was snacks or specialty products, they will all be concentrated here from different places.
"Big Brother, I want to eat that takoyaki!" Molly pointed at the fragrant octopus balls opposite and drooled.
Misty also stared at it, "Yeah, it looks really delicious!"
Ash bought five portions, one for each of the human and one for Pikachu, and while walking and eating, the group met a little boy.
"Are you one of the trainer who wants to participate in the Whirl Cup?"
After receiving the affirmative answer, the little boy immediately showed a pleading expression, "Please, would you battle with my Remoraid just once?"
They could, but the preliminaries will be held tomorrow, so it would be better to let the Pokémon take a rest.
"Why are you looking for someone to battle you right now?" Misty asked with concern.
"I want my Remoraid to evolve into an Octillery!" So it turned out that this boy wants to evolve his Pokémon so that he can participate in the next competition with a stronger and more complete attitude.
After hearing this, Misty agreed, "Okay, let me be your opponent!"
This young guy seemed to know the details of this Whirl Cup tournament very well, and took the group to the coast. There were several stone pillars standing on the sea here, which were probably the battleground used during the competition.
In order to get familiar with the venue, and the newly caught Corsola also needed to get used to it, Misty agreed to this battle with him.
However, she did not use all her strength, and almost immediately the boy and Remoraid turned defeat into victory.
His Remoraid also evolved into an Octillery smoothly.
After evolution, Octillery can adapt to both water and land battles, and has more means to deal with situations in different battlefields.
When Ash catches a Water-type Pokémon, he usually chooses this type of them, the ones that can fight both in water and on land.
The moon was dark, Molly had already gone to bed, Ash and the other three were in the square outside of the Pokémon Center, watching the moon together.
"Tomorrow is the preliminaries of the Whirl Cup! Pikachu, just stay by Molly's side and watch the battle and please make sure that she's safe!"
"Togepi, you stay with Pikachu and Brock too, okay?!" Togepi, in Misty's arms, said something happily several times.
"Ash, I'm ready for this, you have to work hard too so we could battle in the finals!"
When Misty said this, Ash nodded and thought of something else, "By the way, Misty, your Staryu has evolved into Starmie. I know that in this competition, it will definitely become your Ace Pokémon!"
"Do you want your Poliwhirl to evolve too?"
Misty's Starmie was evolved by the Water Stone that Ash's exchanged from the System he has. In fact, she had a Starmie before, but she didn't use it much and he was not feeling well. So Misty left it at the Cerulean Gym when she came to Johto Region for helping out the Gym there.
As for Poliwhirl, Ash remembers that he won a Kings Rock when he won the Pokémon Sumo Contest Soem time ago with his Snorlax!
"Let my Poliwhirl evolve?"
Ash nodded, "There are two Evolutions of Poliwhirl that you could chose from. The Poliwrath we saw many times is evolved with the help of the Water Stone and has two types: Water-type and Fighting-type, so it is more powerful in the Physical Attacking department." Ash said to Misty with a very serious voice.
"But if you use this here!"
Ash took out the Kings Rock he had and said, "Using this Kings Rock to evolve into Politoed. It will stay a the Water-type. He will be a very powerful Pokémon in the Special Attacking department after his evolution into a Politoed. I, personally, believe that it would be better if your Poliwhirl evolved into a Politoed because he is more suitable for you than Poliwrath!"
With Politoed and the evolved Starmie, Misty's strength will increase a lot from before. Just like the little boy from before, she can be more confident about the next battle and strive for better results with a new more powerful member on her team.
But in the end, whether to let Poliwhirl evolve into a Politoed or a Poliwrath still depends on Misty's decision as his trainer and Poliwhirl himself.
Ash said this, handed the Kings Rock to Misty, and turned to leave.
The Whirl Cup will start tomorrow, he needs his rest to be ready for his battle.
