Actually, it's the same logic. Although Ash can understand Ho-Oh's name, he cannot grasp the meaning expressed by Ho-Oh, just like the Static ability.
So Ash really wants to ask Misty, what kind of existence is Ho-Oh exactly? Is it a Legendary Pokemon? Why was she so excited when she saw Ho-Oh?
At the same time, Ash deeply felt what it means to be ignorant and how terrifying it is. It seems he needs to brush up a lot on his Pokemon knowledge in the chat group.
It's funny to say, but he hasn't even memorized the type advantage chart yet...
In the end, Ash didn't ask Misty about what kind of existence Ho-Oh is because then he wouldn't have a reasonable explanation for saying Ho-Oh's name out loud.
All the Ash in the group have said that the existence of the chat group should not be exposed. There are many people with ulterior motives in the world, and even if he only tells those he trusts, the chat group might still get exposed.
It's best if only he knows about this matter.
So even as careless as Ash is, he strictly adheres to the instructions he set for himself, ensuring he does not reveal the existence of the chat group.
As for Ho-Oh, it's better to ask the veterans in the chat group when I get back. For now, he just quietly experiences the shock brought to him by the aura and charm of this Legendary Pokemon.
"Pikachu, you need to become as strong as her in the future!"
"Pika pi?" Pikachu pointed at himself with a 'you're not joking, are you?' expression as he looked at Ash.
He doesn't know Ho-Oh either, but that doesn't prevent him from feeling the extremely terrifying pressure from Ho-Oh. To reach Ho-Oh's level, who knows how long it would take, let alone whether he has the potential.
"You can do it, because you're my partner." This time, Ash wasn't joking but looked at Pikachu and said with unwavering determination, his words full of trust in Pikachu.
"Pika... Pikapi!!" Even though it had only been less than a day together, the trust and expectation the Trainer had for him ignited Pikachu's ambition.
He patted his chest, declaring that one day he would become a master of Thunder, a super electric mouse comparable to Ho-Oh!
Misty, standing by, looked at the expressions of the boy and his Pokemon with a strange expression, showing a look as if she wanted to say something but refrained.
She didn't really want to discourage Ash and Pikachu, but their ideas were too far-fetched. Making Pikachu as strong as Ho-Oh? That's like hoping a Fearow would one day evolve into a Ho-Oh.
But looking at the two ambitious beginners, Misty eventually said nothing to discourage them. Without dreams, what's the difference from a salted fish? Even though this dream isn't very realistic.
"Misty, look at that!" The daydreaming Misty was awakened by Ash's voice. Following his point of view, she saw Ho-Oh's figure gradually disappearing, but in the sky, a rainbow seemed to be descending!
"Let's go, let's check it out quickly. You ride the bike!" Ash finished speaking, called for Pikachu, and rushed forward.
"Hey hey! Wait for me!" Misty exclaimed in surprise behind them. She barely lifted her head on the bike in time only to see the retreating figures of Ash and Pikachu.
Geez, what kind of speed was that? That was way too fast even for cycling!
...
Ash arrived at the place where the rainbow fell at lightning speed, about a kilometer away from where they were resting before, but Ash got there in under a minute, already breaking his previous speed record.
Pikachu on Ash's shoulder clung to Ash's clothes, looking a bit disheveled by the wind.
At this moment, Pikachu thought——If you could run this fast earlier, you could have outpaced Fearow a long time ago, right? So were you deliberately slowing down to fight Fearow?
"Is this... a feather?" Ash arrived directly under where the rainbow fell. The rainbow light just happened to fall right on the ground, and the nearby grass, which had initially been sparse, inexplicably began to grow robustly, growing tens of centimeters in just the blink of an eye.
Enveloped in the rainbow light was a magnificent feather. While its shape resembled Ho-Oh's feather, its color was different from any feather on Ho-Oh's body.
Ash picked up the feather and examined it closely in front of his eyes. Initially, the feather emitted a rainbow-colored radiance, but as Ash picked it up, the glow began to dim, revealing the feather's true appearance.
"A rainbow feather? Rainbow Wing?" Ash stared blankly at the information in front of him.
The Eye of Insight was still steadily functioning, revealing the true name of this feather to Ash. It seemed that as long as something was related to Pokemon, the Eye of Insight could work, though not completely.
Aside from knowing it was called the Rainbow Wing, Ash knew nothing else about it.
From the name, it appeared to be a feather shed by Ho-Oh. Even the Legendary Pokemon's feather appears different from other Pokemon's feathers.
"Zoom zoom zoom!!" The rapid sound of pedaling came from behind Ash, followed by the screech of a sudden brake. Misty skidded to a stop behind Ash, her pale face full of sweat, gasping with parted lips.
"I say... huff... you run... huff... way too fast! I couldn't catch up with you even on my bike!" Misty spoke after a long moment.
Without waiting for Misty to continue complaining, Ash placed the Rainbow Wing in front of Misty, captivating her attention.
"Is this... Ho-Oh's feather? It's so beautiful!" Misty took the Rainbow Wing from Ash, enamored by it.
But as soon as Misty held the Rainbow Wing, it began to fade from its vibrant colors to dull gray, causing Misty to look panicked.
"What... what's going on, Ash? Why did it turn gray? I didn't do anything!"
Ash scratched his head in confusion and said, "I don't know, it was fine just now. Maybe it turned gray because it got separated from Ho-Oh. Maybe it was only colorful initially because it hadn't been long since it left Ho-Oh."
"No way... Ash, try holding it again." Misty handed the feather back to Ash, and the moment Ash held the Rainbow Wing, it regained its colorful radiance.
The Rainbow Wing even emitted a faint, colorful glow, making Pikachu, on Ash's shoulder, feel a sense of comfortable ease.
"What the?" Misty and Ash looked at the glowing Rainbow Wing, momentarily speechless. Did this feather have preferences about who held it?
