Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

It was an orange, spherical object. Xiaoyao reached into the water with some skepticism and scooped it up, only to find that it was actually an almost transparent egg!

“Strange, I’ve never seen an egg like this before… Hmm!” Xiaoyao’s eyes went unfocused for a moment, and the egg in her hand seemed to be sharing some kind of emotion with her.

(I'm so scared and lonely... I want to wake up and go home...)

"Was that you talking to me just now?" Xiaoyao stared blankly at the egg in her hand, but the other party showed no further reaction.

Meanwhile, all the forces that had been closely monitoring the egg immediately sensed it!

The prince of the vast sea has finally appeared!!

Chapter 1037 Prince of the Azure Sea, Guandu is not a place where you can run wild!

"Did you find this in the sea?" "I've never seen a Pokémon egg like this before!"

After getting ashore, the three girls gathered around the egg, but none of them knew anything about it.

"That giant flying fish seemed to be in a hurry, as if it was trying to escape something, which is why it rushed here in a panic," Xiaoyao said after thinking for a moment.

Generally speaking, wild Pokémon have fixed activity ranges, and even when migrating long distances, they will maintain basic routes.

Furthermore, they rarely run amok on the shore—especially on tourist islands like these—because with more people comes more Poké Balls…and one wrong move and they might lose their freedom!

“But no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like a giant flying fish egg…” Rukia said, frowning.

When she passed through Fuchsia City, she listened to Brock and the elderly couple explain some breeding knowledge, and she was already able to roughly distinguish Pokémon eggs.

"Anyway, let's take it to Miss Joey to check the situation first, and if that doesn't work, we'll contact Xiao Gang." Serena finally made the decision.

The girls were clearly unaware of the crucial information they had obtained, and their current focus was on avoiding interfering with Ash's mission.

The egg was quickly delivered to Miss Joey... but she didn't know where it came from either.

“You can’t tell what breed it is at all, but it’s very healthy. I can give you an incubator.”

Miss Joy couldn't help much, she could only provide a sealed jar containing nutrient solution so that the egg could grow in a stable and healthy environment.

"Let's leave it at that for now. We'll contact Xiaogang tomorrow and talk about it again." After asking around without getting any answers, and seeing that it was getting late, Serena could only tell everyone to go and rest.

Three girls stayed overnight at the Pokémon Center on Yotsuba Island, and that very night, May suddenly had a fantastical dream.

In her dream, she was pulled into the ocean by a strange force and swam with countless Pokémon.

She can see, breathe, and even speak in the glowing deep sea, and can freely play with Pokémon in the ocean.

Ahead, there seemed to be a petite figure leading her towards a huge, mysterious palace in the distance…

"Ugh!" Startled awake, Xiaoyao sat up abruptly in bed, only to see the egg beside her pillow quietly emitting a faint glow under the moonlight.

...

On the other side, on the sea between Hoenn and Kanto, a Dragonite is speeding along.

A boy and a girl sat on the dragon's back. The boy was staring intently at an old blue bracelet in his hand, as if trying to determine the direction.

This is Ash, of course, and riding with him is Blue, who hasn't appeared in a long time.

The timing was perfect; just as he was waiting for news from Manaphy, Xiao Lan finally produced useful results.

After a series of efforts, the research team has finally developed a detector that can mark the genetically modified creatures around us on our mobile phones as long as we carry it with us.

Meanwhile, the shipyard in Kaina City has completed the commissioning of the submarine ahead of schedule. This meticulously crafted vehicle is now following behind Dragonite, intending to sail to the port of Pinu.

When Ash officially attacks the Seven Islands, Blue can pilot this submarine with a Kyogre attached to the back and wreak havoc on Team Aqua in the ocean!

"Has it stopped?" During the continued flight, Ash suddenly realized that Manaphy hadn't moved for a long time.

Its periods of lucidity have noticeably increased, and the emotions it exudes are no longer as lonely as before. The fear has almost completely dissipated, replaced by waves of peace of mind...

"Could they have already hatched?" Ash wondered to himself.

Manaphy's current state is like she has suddenly found someone to rely on, so she is no longer worried!

Who ended up with it...?

While anxiously pondering, Ash once again signaled Dragonite to speed up.

"Whoosh!" With a long roar, Dragonite's speed increased dramatically in an instant.

After fully integrating the Dragon Source, his extremely resilient body can withstand even more intense bursts of speed, and his instantaneous speed of Mach 2.5 has been increased to Mach 4... This is an extreme superspeed comparable to Super Aqua City!

And the direction it is heading is undoubtedly towards Kanto's Yuzuriha Island!

...

"Sigh, even Xiao Gang doesn't recognize him..."

Back to the three girls, they had contacted Xiaogang, but still hadn't been able to get any useful information.

Xiao Gang originally wanted to come, but he was assigned some work by Yulongdu, so in the end he could only do nothing to help.

He was quite frustrated about this for a while because he had just heard that a famous Water-type Pokémon performance troupe was coming to Leaf Island to hold a performance.

Without a doubt, the lead actress in the performance troupe must be a beautiful older sister.

"So what should we do..."

"Wait!" On a relatively open beach, just as Rukia was about to ask a question, Serena raised her hand to interrupt her.

She listened intently for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the sky!

The roar of engines is getting closer; it's not just one plane!

boom!

A moment later, three black helicopters broke free from the cover of the tall tree canopy and began to arrogantly circle over Rangye Island.

"Hehe, confirmed, it really is Manaphy!" On the lead plane, a pirate dressed like a captain grinned as he put away his binoculars, then suddenly opened the hatch and jumped out!

Bang!

The burly pirate leaped from a height of over ten meters onto the beach, instantly stirring up rolling waves of sand... but incredibly, he was completely unharmed.

"That's it!" The burly man with a face full of scars approached the three women step by step. "There are two kinds of people in this world: those who steal and those who are stolen from. I'm the one who's here to steal! Hand over that egg obediently!"

"I don't want it!" Xiaoyao immediately hugged the egg to her chest.

Pirate attire, a thick beard—this guy in front of her doesn't look like a good person at all. Xiaoyao won't be threatened by him.

"That's not up to you!" The pirate grinned and spread his arms, throwing out two Poké Balls at the same time, releasing the menacing Pinsir and Parasect.

Meanwhile, several Beedrills flew out from several helicopters overhead, swaggering and showing off to Serena and her two companions.

"What... is this a blatant robbery?" Serena's face turned cold, and she instantly gripped the Poké Ball at her waist.

She's confirmed it: these guys are definitely bad guys... and they're definitely not from Kanto!

After all, criminals in Kanto wouldn't dare to be so arrogant as to rob someone in broad daylight by helicopter... It's like they're completely disregarding that top-tier investigator.

"If you know, then obediently hand over the egg to me. Manaphy's egg belongs to me!" the pirate continued his vicious threat, even impatiently stretching out his hands.

"I don't want to! Mana... well, anyway, I absolutely will not give it to you!" Xiaoyao shook her head desperately in refusal.

"That's right! Fiery Fox, Whimsicott, and Togekiss, attack together!!"

Serena had already acted immediately after a shout. The Demon Fire Red Fox and the Wind Fairy simultaneously used mental interference to rise into the air. The Cotton Spores, combined with the Big Explosion, exploded into a rain of fire!

Several bee-like bees screamed and fell at the same time, and the helicopter was forced to take off due to the fire.

Just as the pirate was about to send his two Pokémon to attack, Togekiss spun around and unleashed a barrage of wind blades, quickly stunning the two weak flying insects.

"Listen up, I don't care if you're a pirate or a robber, I will absolutely not give you this egg!" Having easily dealt with the enemy's Pokémon, Serena stepped forward, exuding an aura of power!

"And... Guandu is not a place where you can run wild!!"

Chapter 1038 The Prince of the Azure Sea, Manaphy is Born

"hateful…"

The pirate, who had been so arrogant just moments before, was now utterly shocked.

Who would have thought that such a delicate-looking girl would be such a powerful trainer, defeating the Pokémon he sent out in no time?

However, he quickly resumed his sinister grin and lunged at Serena with bared teeth and claws!

"I'll say it again, Manaphy's egg belongs to me! Hand it over right now!"

"Mouthwa, Mega Evolution!!" Serena remained calm under pressure and immediately dispatched another of her main fighters.

Maw of Venus makes a dazzling entrance amidst a burst of light, slamming its massive jaws into its opponent's chest!

Bang! !

With a dull thud, the pirate's body swayed a few times, leaving deep footprints on the sand beneath his feet.

However, the Super Mouthball, which initiated the attack, was actually forced back several steps by the shock and even accidentally fell down next to Serena!

“How could this be…” Serena frowned involuntarily.

When she saw the other person jump off the plane, she sensed that the enemy's physique was extraordinary... But what kind of monstrous strength was this that even the Hercules's special ability couldn't hold it back?!

"Whoosh!" A wave surged up on the nearby sea, and the giant flying fish burst out of the water, spraying a dense barrage of seed machine guns at the pirates.

But the latter simply waved his hand as if shooing away flies, scattering all the incoming points of light.
