"Woo~~~"
A very clear and pleasant flute sound rang out throughout the restaurant.
Then, the young girl, wearing a white veil and the island's ethnic costumes, closed her eyes, took brisk steps, and stepped onto the performance stage.
Flora's hair spread out and gently fell on her shoulders.
With a pink wreath on her head and the background light, she looks like a graceful girl dancing under the moonlight.
Such appearance, such flute sound...
"No wonder she was chosen as the miko..."
Tracey sighed sincerely there.
In particular, when Flora was playing the flute, her figure was also dancing there.
In this dark night, it is like fluttering butterflies and Pokémon.
"When the world is about to be destroyed, the God of the Sea appears and calms the Rage of the Gods together with the excellent controllers...
While dancing and singing softly, they tell the legend that has been widely circulated on this island.
Then, as if she was eager to join in the fun, she tiptoed and came to Ash's table in a frivolous manner.
"Master Ash, if you are really that good controller..."
Those big eyes stared at Ash pitifully.
"Just prove it to us!!"
Those big eyes seemed to be able to speak, the pupils were trembling, and their gaze could reach directly into people's hearts.
"prove?"
"This is a routine that happens every year."
Flora was talking quietly at first, but she felt bored as she talked, so she sat down next to Ash.
"Flora?!"
Xiaoyou, her elder sister, couldn't help but frown again.
She couldn't stand her sister's lack of respect for customs and festivals.
In response, Flora just spread her hands and ignored it.
On the contrary, I am particularly interested in Ash, a great Trainer:
"As for evidence, it's not that difficult."
She casually took out three oranges from the fruit plate on the table in front of her and placed them in Ash's hand:
"Take three treasures from the three islands offshore and place them on the altar on this island."
"Next, I will dedicate the flute to the Flatter gods..."
She blew twice more gently: "Just one blow like this, and it's over."
Ash asked: "Where on the island are those three treasures?"
"On the shrines of each island..."
Flora didn't care: "To go to those islands, all you have to do is take a boat."
"Even if we want to get to the shrine, there are stairs, it's very easy..."
She always felt that such sacrificial activities were just a formality.
"The festival will last until tomorrow, so it's okay to take it out tomorrow morning."
"I see…"
Ash nodded slightly, and then when Misty was about to get angry again, he smiled and said:
"But we may have other things to do tomorrow and need to leave here, so let's not take the things for now."
"Huh?!"
Flora didn't expect such an answer, and she was stunned.
"Don't you want to prove that you are a great Trainer?"
She asked subconsciously.
"The Indigo Plateau Conference and Orange Alliance Winners Cup trophies..."
Ash smiled and said, "I think these two trophies should be enough proof, right?"
Flora: "..."
Indeed, nothing can better prove a Trainer's achievements than the official winning trophies of these Alliance competitions.
"Besides, even if we want to go to other islands..."
Ash raised his head and looked out the window at Soaring in the sky:
"This weather is not suitable for going out to sea, right?"
Boom!
As his words fell, crackling bolts of lightning struck down from Soaring in the sky.
At the same time, heavy rain poured down from the dark clouds!
This kind of weather and climate has begun to spread from the Orange Islands to other areas outside.
Other places also keenly noticed the changes here and began to pay attention to this anomaly.
"The sudden and abnormal changes that occurred around the world are believed to be caused by changes in deep ocean currents."
"Deep ocean currents are ocean currents that flow deep beneath the ocean floor of this planet."
"Said to control climate, weather, and nature throughout the world."
Such reports are being broadcast on television all over the world.
In other words, the changes happening in the world today are related to this deep ocean current, and most of them are caused by abnormal changes in it...
"It is said that the center of the stratification is located near the Orange Islands...
Professor Oak from Pallet Town was also watching the report and was a little surprised when he heard about the Orange Islands.
That seems to be the region where Ash is traveling~
And just at this moment, a new call came in.
"I'm Naki from the Orange Islands."
The call was connected, and the face of the beautiful Professor Ivy appeared on the screen.
At the same time, behind the screen, Xiaogang was busy running around.
Professor Oak greeted: "Oh, it's Namu~"
"Something strange has happened to the Pokémon in the Orange Islands...
The two professors started a discussion on this issue.
At the same time, on the Ilia Island
(acfc) "The weather seems to be gradually stopping.
Ash walked to the top of the roof of the guest house and looked up at the night sky which was still covered by dark clouds and without any starlight.
"Things have also happened all over the world... So, is this the big event you're talking about?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind Ash.
"Well, it's mainly related to the legend of this island."
Ash nodded, without turning around, knowing who it was.
"The God of Ice, Fire, Celestic, and Thunder?"
Lorelei, who had rushed over, also spoke softly, "When these three gods are angered, the world will be destroyed, right?"
During this time, she also learned some legends about Shamouti Island.
"These three gods should be the three sacred birds [As for angering them... "
Lorelei said slowly, "There are many ways, for example..."
"Catch them."
Ash gave the answer for Lorelei.
"So, is this also the reason why you mentioned Gilrota before?"
Lorelei understood everything at once.
"That guy loves collecting, and has a crazy personality that allows him to do anything for his collection..."
Lorelei stroked her hair gently: "It is indeed possible to be able to do anything."
"Including this matter of capturing the three sacred birds."
Ash also continued: "Moreover, the three islands where the three sacred birds are located happen to be on the important points of the ocean currents of the Orange Islands."
"They represent the balance of climate and weather. If one of them is out of balance, it will affect the entire ocean current."
This is why the whole world is currently experiencing strange weather.
"Then if you say so..."
Lorelei thought thoughtfully, "Looks like we have to stop that lunatic."
"Well, this is also a method."
Ash nodded.
Lorelei thought about it, then suddenly raised her head, stared at Ash and said:
"If you say so, then I am being dragged here by you to fight that guy together?"
"I didn't pull this!"
Ash decisively passed the buck, saying that he was not responsible for this, "Master Lorelei, you followed here out of curiosity!"
"ROR..."
Lorelei stretched out her finger and tapped Ash twice in amusement:
"No matter what, we have to stop this kind of crazy behavior. As long as we trainers encounter it, we can't just sit there and do nothing..."
She paused, and then thought about what Ash had just said:
"You just said this is a method?"
"So there's no other way to look at it, right?"
"For example, according to the legend, we need to go to the island where the three sacred birds are and bring back the three treasures, right?"
Ash nodded and said, "We must get the treasure because the three sacred birds will fight each other when they meet. We need to calm them down."
"As for that Gilrota..."
Ash paused and said with a smile:
"Well, I've said before that professional matters should be left to professionals...
Ash took out the Rotom Pokédex again and waved it towards Lorelei: "So, I contacted a professional."
Um?!
Lorelei took a closer look.
Ash also sent a series of messages.
And the recipient... is undoubtedly Professor Oak!!
Well, Ash said, I may not have other connections, but Professor Oak does!!
Having Professor Oak is like having the whole world!!
Ash's behavior made Lorelei laugh.
But if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be any problem.
After all, discovering a problem and reporting it to the Alliance is a basic responsibility of a Trainer.
And if Alliance learns of such an incident, it will definitely arrange personnel to deal with it.
So, there is a major crisis happening here in the Orange Islands.
It requires a very capable and powerful Trainer within the Alliance to solve the problem.
And this Trainer happened to be near the Orange Islands, so he could come as soon as possible...
"Ding Dong.
Lorelei's Pokédex also made a sound, and a message came from it.
"Fixi..."
Lorelei pushed up her glasses and followed Ash's example, shaking the Pokédex towards him:
"This matter finally fell into my hands."
The Pokémon Alliance officials acted very quickly.
After learning about the situation, we took action immediately.
Their action was to arrange for Lorelei to follow up on this matter.
Furthermore, we must stop the crazy collector Gilluta from doing anything excessive in real time.
In the place where Gilluta is, there is a high-tech fortress called Soaring in the sky, which is constantly moving in the sky.
It can also avoid all signals, making it difficult to find it.
In this case, the best thing to do is to get the three treasures from the three islands.
But on this night, that Gilluta will also take action...
"If I'm not mistaken, it has already captured Moltres and is now waiting on Fire Island."
In the candlelit house, Ash was telling Lorelei about the next course of action:
"Because one of the islands
Once the balance is broken, the divine birds on the other two islands will transfer their power to the losing side.
"It depends on whether it's Zapdos or Articuno next."
"Based on the personalities of these two birds, Zapdos is more likely to be the one."
"In this case, after losing Moltres on Fire Island, Zapdos will definitely rush over to occupy the territory as soon as possible.
"Gilluta will be waiting there, waiting for Zapdos to come and capture him in one fell swoop."
"Then, in order to collect all the sacred birds, he would definitely rush to Ice Island immediately...
Ash first sorted out all these relationships for Lorelei, and then~
"So, our next course of action is..."
"After confirming that it was Zapdos who went out to occupy the territory, we will go to Lightning Island first and take out the treasure there, right?"
Lorelei also understood immediately and understood Ash's idea:
"Then when Gilluta captured Zapdos and left Fire Island to go to Ice Island to capture Articuno...
"Let's go to Fire Island again and get the second treasure."
"NOT..."
Ash added the last sentence: "And while Gilluta and Articuno are fighting each other."
"Let's get the treasure on Ice Island, and then we'll have all three treasures."
"Great arrangement!"
Lorelei adjusted her glasses and exclaimed with a smile.
"I'm fine."
She raised her head and looked at Ash with admiration in her eyes.
He is just a Trainer who has been traveling for less than a year, yet he has such outstanding qualifications.
Not only is he very talented in training Pokémon, but he is also very capable in facing major accidents that threaten the entire world.
He was also able to sort out things so clearly and calmly without panicking or getting confused.
Just this kind of outstanding ability alone has already surpassed the vast majority of Trainers in the world.
"..."
Lorelei thought so, and then suddenly spoke.
"What's up?"
Ash, who was about to finalize some details, looked over in confusion when he heard this.
"You will definitely become a great Trainer in the future.
Lorelei said this half in a compliment and half in a serious tone.
Ash noticed that she used the word great instead of "excellent" or "awesome", two words he had heard too many times.
"..."
Ash did not call her Master Lorelei this time. He just smiled and nodded slightly at her:
"I thought so, Lorelei."
That confident demeanor and smile just caught Lorelei's eyes and struck her mind and heart.
The look in her eyes when she looked at Ash gradually became brighter and more meaningful.
~~~
Ash and his friends were ready to set off in the early morning of the next day.
Now Gilluta should still be guarding Fire Island, waiting for Zapdos to invade the island and fall into his trap.
Then it takes some time to capture it and get to Ice Island.
Ash is also waiting here temporarily.
Of course, he did not do nothing while waiting.
After exchanging some of the Pokémon I needed through the Pokémon Center on the island.
He also received advice from Professor Oak.
"Everything should be done within one's capabilities. After all, the Three Divine Birds and the God of Ocean Currents are completely different from Normal Pokémon and organizations.
Professor Oak was rarely cooking instant noodles and szechuangau, and stressed this to Ash with a serious expression.
The better the Pokémon Trainer is, the more proud he is and the more he has his own ideas.
Professor Oak obviously didn't want to see Ash getting a little "over the top".
In response, Ash just nodded gently: "Don't worry, Professor~"
"I'll take note."
With a click, he hung up the phone.
Professor Oak didn't say much.
He is very busy there now.
After learning the truth of the matter, we reported it to Alliance to take it seriously and resolve the incident.
That Gillu was so bold as to build a Soaring in the Sky fortress by himself, and went to the Orange Islands to brazenly capture the legendary Pokémon that influenced the world.
This cannot be achieved just by having money.
That madman must have his own connections within the Pokémon Alliance.
It will take some time to investigate and clean up this aspect.
On the other hand, since the world has been in turmoil for so long, we naturally have to give an explanation and account to the outside world and the general public.
Then, Professor Oak, the most admired and respected person in the Pokémon academic community in Kanto Region, became the spokesperson to give the explanation.
