Elf: Pikachu Super Revealed, Mortal Body Rivals Gods

When the group arrived at the second floor of the Great Cathedral, their faces showed unparalleled shock as they looked at the entire Odomare!

"The sea... has disappeared?"

Odomare, known as the "City of Water," is entirely covered by seawater year-round.

Every path used to have a stream of water, but now... all the water on the entire island has disappeared!

It's like... the tide has gone out!

A bad feeling rose in everyone's hearts.

Latios and Latias exchanged a glance and began to ascend rapidly.

Then, after circling twice at the top of the cathedral, they stood side by side.

As mythical Pokémon, legendary spirits, they are far more perceptive than Ash and his friends.

Therefore, they are more likely to sense... the approach of a crisis!

“Huh~”

Latios's face contorted in pain, his floating body momentarily halting as he nearly fell.

Fortunately, he suppressed his physical pain with strong willpower.

Although Ash isn't very sensitive to danger, he is very perceptive about the injuries to his Pokémon!

He turned around, looked up, and shouted at Latios.

"Latios, are you alright? Let's go to the Pokémon Center!"

In response to Ash's concern, Latios shook its head.

There's no time left to help him recover!

"Rumble--"

The entire town began to shake, and a tremendous sound came from afar.

Ash turned his head and saw an extremely terrifying, towering wave sweeping towards him!

This is... a tsunami!

The ocean was surging with powerful waves, a terrifying spectacle that darkened the sky and caused a deafening roar.

The tsunami, reaching heights of tens of meters, plunged Ash and his friends into despair!

This natural disaster... is simply beyond human power to resist!

However, Latias and Latios seemed to have anticipated this terrifying and despairing tsunami.

They exchanged a glance, and then shot off like arrows released from a bow!

For the sake of this city, for the sake of their friends, they must... stop the tsunami!

……

P.S.: Actually, I thought this chapter was going to end...

Two more chapters to go~ Almost there, almost there, the Water City arc is almost over!

Chapter 148: The Demise of Latios, and the Lament of the People!

[Rika: What are Latios and his sister planning? Are they trying to stop the tsunami?!]

[Ichiki: How is this possible! Latios and Latias haven't even reached their full power level. Latios was captured by the Phantom Thief Sisters' capture net, and Latias is even weaker than Latios! They haven't even really used their skills much! How could they possibly stop this terrifying tsunami!]

[Cattleya: Latias and Latios do have some potential. Latias already unleashed a powerful burst of energy before, but... that was ultimately just potential! Now, facing this natural disaster, aren't they just throwing their lives away?]

[Yu Longdu: No... they can't possibly stop this tsunami!]

[Canon: When Odomarei faces crisis, Latias and Latios will step forward... They will surely save Odomarei, just as the legend says!]

[Cynthia: That's right, little sister~ You should believe in the legendary power of the elves!]

[Karuno: It doesn't matter, Wataru has already made his move, I'll definitely block this one!]

[Dragon Crossing: ...]

For the first time, A-Du really wanted his "poisonous milk" to work!

……

In the video—

As they watched Latias and Latios speed away, Ash and Canon couldn't help but call out to them.

"Latias!!! Come back quickly!"

Latios! Don't go!

But the two sprites, as fast as fighter jets, had already leaped across half of Aldormare in the blink of an eye!

Whether they heard Ash and Canon's words or not,

They all want to go!

This is their duty and obligation, and it is also for the sake of their friends and partners.

Therefore, they must not back down here!

"Please come back safely, Latios, Latios..."

Since we can't stop them, all we can do is pray for them...

As the machine sped along, the two sprites gradually synchronized their movements.

And from them, an extremely dazzling light began to erupt!

It directly illuminated the day and night, illuminating... the entire Odomaree!

The energies of Latias and Latios slowly merged together, eventually transforming into a white sphere of light!

The ball of light was like a drop in the ocean in the face of a tsunami tens of meters high, and could not stir up any waves at all!

But when they reached the tsunami, the terrifying energy exploded completely!

The small white ball of light instantly expanded to a size of tens of meters, splitting the wave in two!

And its immense yet gentle power was transmitted to all the surrounding giant waves.

The waves gradually subsided under the power of the two spirits, eventually turning into flowing water.

It flowed back to Odomare!

A crisis that threatened to destroy the city... has been averted!

……

[Yulongdu: Wow, is this the true power of Latios and Latias?! They can even withstand such a natural disaster!]

[Dalno: It's all thanks to you, Lance! Hehe~ Getting back to the point, this power must contain a massive amount of Psychic-type energy, it directly calmed the waves!]

[Ichiki: They still have such energy within them... Keep in mind, Latios is already severely injured!]

[Rika: Here's the question. If they were already this powerful, why were they initially defeated by those two sisters? Those two women's Pokémon were only around Gym Leader level; how could they possibly beat them?]

[Cynthia: I think... it's probably related to their gentle nature! Whether facing Ash or the Thief Sisters, they never used any moves. Latias might not be able to control the power within it, but Latios should be able to.]

[Cynthia: The reason Latios didn't attack the sisters with his skills was probably because he was afraid of hurting or accidentally killing them... Yet their kindness was trampled on by evil people... It's truly ironic.]

If it weren't for this massive tsunami disaster, no one would have known.

So it turns out that Latias and Latios can unleash such terrifying energy!

This power is so great that even a martial arts school, let alone a world champion or a king, would find it difficult to withstand!

However, they did not use such power when they were attacked or captured.

The only possibility is that they don't want to use such power against humans!

Having been saved by humans in their ancestors' past, they have a great fondness for humans.

Canon, who had always played with them, and Ben Grey, who had always been with them, were both kind humans.

Even the people in the water city are kind.

This also led to their kind and gentle nature.

But this kindness became their fatal flaw...

If they use their skills and their own strength...

The phantom thieves would have no chance of catching them; they would likely be knocked away instead!

As the saying goes, "A person is easily bullied, and a good horse is easily ridden," and the same principle applies to spirits.

But are you saying that Latios and his friends' kindness was wrong? Of course not.

However, kindness... must be given selectively.

People like Sanna and Lian don't deserve to be treated kindly at all!

[Leon: I hope Latias and Latios won't lose faith in humanity because of those two women...]
