The territory of the Dragonite clan is arguably the largest in the Inner Island. According to Ash's estimation, even the Salamence clan, also a Quasi-God, occupies less than half of Dragonite's territory.
Theoretically, this place should also harbor the most talented Pokemon on the entire Dragon Island. After all, Dragon Island is still within the Kanto Region, and here it belongs to the Dragonite clan.
As for how Ash knew this was still in Kanto, it was naturally because of his sensitivity to distance. The speed of the Dragonite he was riding and the distance flown could all be felt through the stimulation of his skin.
This did not even require intentional perception; it could be done purely through instinct.
So within Kanto, Dragonite still has a certain advantage. However, another reason why Ash didn't want to come to the Dragonite clan is that, elsewhere in Kanto, a super giant Dragonite is waiting for him.
He promised the other party that within half a year, he would definitely come back to find him and have a battle, regardless of winning or losing. He would help the other restore to normal size, allowing him to live well in the modern era.
Previously, it would require Gardevoir reaching Elite Level and the amplification of his Aura Power to restore the ancient Dragonite to normal. But now, with Mewtwo's involvement, there's no need for those flashy techniques. Just having Mewtwo go over, whether to shrink the opponent or defeat him, is an easy task.
Yet Ash still wants Gardevoir to have a battle with the opponent, because it's something that's already been set. Moreover, if they win, the opponent will become his Pokemon.
The addition of the ancient Dragonite is basically a done deal, so Ash didn't think to come to the Dragonite clan. But in the end, he still did.
Upon entering the Dragonite territory, a group of Dragonite cast their gaze over. Yet there wasn't a hint of hostility or violence in their eyes, only total warmth.
From Dratini to Dragonite, the three evolutionary forms of this species are characterized primarily by two words: gentle.
As long as you don't touch their Outrage, saying they are one of the gentlest species in the world wouldn't be an exaggeration. Alongside them, there's also the Goodra clan in the Kalos Region, both famous for being model citizens.
Ash smiled as he greeted the many Dragonite. Pikachu, on Ash's shoulder, waved a paw with a smile too, and the Dragonite clan responded with smiling faces.
In Mewtwo's perception, the Divine Domain Level Dragonite didn't make any moves either. It seemed to be a tacit approval of their entry into the clan, perhaps because Lance had informed them in advance.
Anyway, the fact that coming here didn't cause any disturbance was the best outcome.
After making greetings, Ash began looking among the Dragonite to see if there was a Pokemon to his liking. Unfortunately, he still didn't find one.
But to be fair, the talent of the Dragonite was indeed generally high. One of them even had a talent configuration of S plus five A's, which is exceptional even among Quasi-Gods.
Look at Lance's Dragonite, which is just a double S-Class talent. So having a single S plus five A's might be the highest talent on the entire Dragon Island, aside from that Divine Domain Level Dragonite.
Yet Ash still didn't choose any, continuing to walk on. Besides Dragonite, the Dragonite clan also includes Dragonair and Dratini, and they have more variety compared to Dragonite!
When Ash arrived at the Dragonair habitat, he witnessed a spectacle.
A group of Dragonair bodies flashed with azure blue light, soaring into the sky. Usually rare to see Quasi-God Dragonair were here found in abundance, ten or twenty easily, each one with a divine aura.
A group of Dragonair taking flight together is even more breathtaking than a group of Dragonite flying together.
But after the shock, Ash noticed that one Dragonair wasn't flying up with the others. She only gazed enviously at the flock of Dragonair, eyes filled with deep yearning.
"What's the matter with that Dragonair, can't it fly?" Ash scratched his head, a bit puzzled.
The next second, Dragonair's information appeared in his mind.
[Species: Dragonair]
[Gender: Female]
[Attribute: Dragon]
[Level: Elite Intermediate]
[Ability: Marvel Scale]
[Skills: Twister, Thunder Wave, Dragon Rush, Rain Dance, Safeguard...]
[Six-dimensional Ability: Physical Attack S (A) Special Attack A (B) Defense A (B) Special Defense A (C) Physical Strength A (C) Speed S (A)]
Double S and four A's, this is the strongest Dragon Type Pokemon talent Ash has seen since arriving on Dragon Island. Yet, even with such a talent, this Dragon Type Pokemon can't fly after evolving?
"Woo~~" One of the Dragonite among the group beside Ash made a sound. Ash was taken aback, then turned to ask the Dragonite.
"Are you saying that this Dragonair hasn't been able to fly since evolution? And that even on Dragon Island, its progress is very slow?"
Ash's words caused the speaking Dragonite to be momentarily stunned. Then it realized that Ash could understand what it was saying, and some other Dragonite gazed at Ash with astonishment.
