"Final blow! Pikachu, use Iron Tail to finish it!" After catching the beautiful Noctowl, Ash and his companions encountered a young female trainer named Mika on their journey, who challenged Ash to a six-on-six all-out battle. Of course, Ash accepted without hesitation; after all, this was about exchange points! Although Snorlax had just eaten and wasn't awake yet, Ash easily overwhelmed the opponent with his four Pokémon. Finally, facing the Pikachu Ash sent out, Mika surprisingly sent out a Quagsire, which possessed both Water and Ground types, to challenge him. But the outcome was clear: Pikachu's Iron Tail effortlessly defeated the opponent.

Counting from Ms. Mika's Skarmory, this was already the tenth battle in half a month, and the Pokémon were all somewhat tired.

"Mika, do you know if there's a Pokémon Center nearby?" Ash and his companions hadn't encountered a Pokémon Center for a week. Along the way, they relied entirely on Brock's care, and Ash had also slowed down the pace of his special training. Fortunately, Mika introduced, "Beyond the forest is the Green Meadow!" Hearing "Green Meadow," Misty immediately became excited, "Is it that 'Green Meadow' chosen as the place girls in the Johto region most want to visit?"

"That's right!" Mika was heading there herself! Green Meadow, a peaceful place with many green spaces, where the gentle breeze could calm the hearts of both humans and Pokémon. Of course, such a place held greater attraction for Brock because there would surely be many young women there! As for Ash, he hoped to quickly find a Pokémon Center to have Nurse Joy restore his Pokémon's stamina and then continue his special training in that Green Meadow. From the description, it sounded perfectly suited for Bayleef's training.

"Beyond that hill is the Green Meadow!" No sooner had Mika spoken than Ash and his companions eagerly ascended the hill. However, the sight of the Green Meadow before them was truly unbearable! What should have been a peaceful and serene place was covered in vast expanses of purple crystals. The beautiful flowers in the Green Meadow were continuously being crystallized. Looking from the hilltop, at the center of the crystallized area, stood a crystal tower. What should have been a villa, a warm home, now looked utterly desolate. And, in his past life's memories, Ash always felt an inexplicable familiarity with that place!

At this moment, news of the Green Meadow's crystallization had already reached the Kanto region. Ash's mother, Delia, seeing the news, began to search through old photos. She quickly found a group photo of herself and young Ash, Professor Oak, and a father and daughter pair. The villa in the center of the crystallization was precisely the home of this father and daughter in the photo. The father was Professor Spencer Hale, Professor Oak's student and a famous Pokémon researcher! Confirming that the news depicted her friend Professor Spencer Hale's home, Delia quickly recalled Mimey and Wobbuffet and rushed to Professor Oak's laboratory.

"Professor Oak, have you seen the news?" Professor Oak, of course, understood the situation better than Delia. Professor Spencer Hale, who was dedicated to researching the mysterious Unown, had just sent him his research paper via email. "I saw it. I was just about to go to the site!" Seeing Delia rush over anxiously, Professor Oak nodded. "Speaking of which, you're quite familiar with Professor Spencer Hale!" "I'm coming too!" Delia said with conviction; she absolutely had to go. "Professor Spencer Hale's daughter is still young; I'm very worried!" They drove there at top speed.

When Professor Oak and Delia arrived, Ash had just emerged from the Pokémon Center. "Mom?" In fact, this was the first time Ash had seen Delia in person since transmigrating. Although he had seen her many times on the phone. Pikachu, on the other hand, was very affectionate with Delia. Before she even got out of the car, it jumped down from Ash's shoulder and ran to greet her. Delia's neck was adorned with the agate pendant Ash had made for her.

"Ash, you seem to have grown quite a bit taller!"

"Taller, stronger, and more handsome!"

Ash and Delia didn't know that their mother-son greeting was also being filmed and live-streamed by reporters who had come to cover the Green Meadow's crystallization. Inside the crystal tower, a young girl sat prettily beside a Fire-type legendary Pokémon, watching them through a computer. The Pokémon had the majestic and awe-inspiring appearance of a lion, with powerful limbs adorned with iron rings. Behind it was a mane that flowed like white smoke, and beneath the smoke, razor-sharp brown fur. On its forehead, a golden, clover-like shell was embedded, like an emperor's crown, looking incredibly regal! This legendary Pokémon was Entei, yet the little girl called it "Daddy"!

Watching Delia and Ash's parent-child interaction on the screen, the little girl grew increasingly lonely. Beside the computer, the group photo of Ash and his mother with the father and daughter was also displayed.

"Daddy, I want a Mommy too!" The little girl spoke. Hearing her request, Entei stood up, looked at her gently and lovingly, and spoke!

Entei spoke!

"Molly, whatever you wish for!"

It was willing to grant!

...

Meeting Delia during his journey, Ash naturally cherished this time. "After that, Professor Spencer Hale also came to Pallet Town several times!" Delia introduced the history between Professor Spencer Hale's family and their mother-son duo. Ash also found some fragments in his past life's memories: that little tag-along who always liked to follow him, calling him "Big Brother Ash"—Molly!

"That's Professor Spencer Hale's house; I'm really worried!" Delia looked towards the crystal tower, her heart filled with concern! Just then, Ash, also gazing at the crystal tower, suddenly frowned!

"Brock, Misty, Mika, please take care of my mom!" Ash suddenly said in a solemn tone. Seeing Ash's serious expression, Delia became worried. "Ash, what's wrong?" But Ash didn't answer, only asking, "Mom, did you bring Wobbuffet?" Delia nodded. "I brought it!" With that, she released Wobbuffet.

"Sooooonans~"

Ash looked at Wobbuffet. "Wobbuffet, do you remember me?"

"Soonans!"

"Wobbuffet, protect my mom with your life!"

By the time he finished speaking, Ash had already stood up. Pikachu also seemed to sense something and leaped onto Ash's shoulder.

"Something's coming!" His Aura Power sensed that a powerful presence was charging towards them from the direction of the crystal tower, moving at an astonishing speed. It meant trouble!

"Pika!"

Pikachu's cheeks sparked with intimidating electricity. Ash already sensed who was coming!

"Entei!"

The crystallization suddenly spread, and the flowers and grass on the ground were all crystallized. The next moment, Entei's magnificent and towering figure appeared before Ash and his companions.
