Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master

After a long explanation, Ash finally learned the whole story from Professor Oak.

The location of the crystal tower in the green grassland is now the home of Dr. Shuri, an expert who studies legendary Pokémon.

“Dr. Xiuli and your mother were both my students. They were classmates and friends.”

"And you should have seen it too, Ash. After graduation, Shuri often brought his daughter to Pallet Town to play."

Professor Oak took out a group photo, and Ash then remembered Professor Xiuli and his daughter Mei.

They were indeed old acquaintances.

This uncle is the senior that Xiaozhi often heard Hanako's mother talk about, the one who would help her with her homework.

"Dr. Xiuli disappeared suddenly while researching the remains of an unknown totem some time ago."

Professor Oak's tone suddenly turned somber as he remarked that very few people who disappeared due to the presence of Unknown Totem emerged unscathed.

It's highly likely that his prized student won't be coming back.

"Then his house suddenly changed to this state... The Central Committee of the City Alliance specially invited me to investigate this sudden change in the place."

"After seeing the news, Hanako was worried that it would be dangerous for Xiaomei to stay at home alone, so she came with my team."

"I had just arrived at the Pokémon Center this morning when I was suddenly grabbed by Entei, which burst out of the tower."

"The Entei in the Crystal Tower has kidnapped Ash's mother. Is she in danger?" Misty is very worried now.

She gets along very well with Hanako, and Ash will definitely be very sad if something happens to Hanako.

"Does Professor Oak have any other clues?"

"There shouldn't be any danger. After all, it's the legendary Yan Emperor, and I could sense that it didn't have any ill intentions when it took Hanako away."

Oak's words reassured Ash and his friends somewhat, but the sudden appearance of the Crystal Tower was still too strange.

"Although the Flame Emperor has appeared, I still believe that this anomaly is related to the energy of the unknown totem."

Using the computer in the center, Oak retrieved some information and showed it to Ash.

"Among the belongings that Xiuli's students brought to Xiaomei at the time was an unknown totem stone tablet that he was studying before the accident."

"So I suspect it's that stone slab that Xiaomei might have accidentally triggered, causing the current situation."

"This student is really crazy, handing over something so dangerous to a little girl like that." Xiao Zhi wanted to beat the student up.

"The problem now is that the crystallization on the grassland is still spreading, and the violent energy reaction inside the tower has not stopped..."

"Xiao Mei and Hanako are still inside that crystal tower. Although they are safe for now, no one knows what will happen to the unknown totem after a while."

Professor Oak handed a new communication watch to Ash and said to him with a serious expression.

"Xiao Zhi, I might need you to go into the Crystal Tower later."

"Okay, then leave it to us. I will definitely rescue Mom and Xiaomei." Xiaozhi immediately agreed.

"What a joke! How dare they kidnap my mother! Even if it's the Yan Emperor, they will make him pay the price!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Battle to Protect Mom!": Please storm the Crystal Tower to resolve the crisis of the rampaging unknown totem and rescue Hanako's mother!]

"Yes, the situation is still very dangerous, but we can't spare any more manpower, so we have to leave it to you."

Whenever such a major event occurs, those evil organizations immediately seize the opportunity to cause trouble.

This has caused a shortage of manpower in the league.

"It seems we need to seriously consider what A-Lun said about increasing the number of League Prosecutors," Professor Oak sighed inwardly.

"But you must be careful to stay safe, Xiaozhi."

"But there's a question, Rika, why are you with Satoshi?"

The professor suddenly turned to the side and looked at Rin, who was hiding behind Ash and frantically trying to make herself inconspicuous.

"Rika, is that the Rika from the Four Heavenly Kings?" Xiao Ling was shocked.

I never expected that the girl who walked with me all the way and chatted about the sights was actually one of the legendary Four Heavenly Kings.

"Ugh~, damn it, we still got caught."

After being poked by Oki like that, Rika knew she could no longer dodge.

I could only suppress my embarrassment and take off my sunglasses, instantly changing my mood to reveal a confident smile.

"I heard there was a big problem here, so I came here specifically to help."

"We just happened to run into Ash and his friends on the way, so we decided to travel together for the time being."

As expected of a master liar since childhood, Rika immediately chose to lie without batting an eye.

After all, you can't exactly say that you're currently being "trained" by Ash.

"Oh, Kikuko used to say you were playful and irresponsible, and I don't know what to do with you in the future."

"Haha, I didn't expect you to have grown up so much."

Rika's righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor convinced Professor Oak and made him very pleased.

Of the four Elite Four members of Johto, Rinka is the youngest and the most idle. Originally, when Professor Oak called for backup, she was the first person he thought of.

But he couldn't get in touch with them no matter what he tried, which made Da Mu so angry that he cursed them in his heart.

Unexpectedly, I had misunderstood the other person's child.

“Little Rika from back then has grown into an excellent adult. Kikuko will be very happy to know that.”

"Of course, I am now one of the Four Heavenly Kings, so I should naturally shoulder the responsibilities I should bear."

Pear Blossom calmly continued her lies, which made Damu nod repeatedly.

Xiao Zhi looked at her speechlessly.

"This woman clearly wanted to run away as soon as she saw trouble."

I was only able to come to the Pokémon Center because Ash dragged me here.

However, in front of his elders, Xiaozhi gave Rika some face and didn't expose her, planning to punish her severely later that night.

"That's great. With Miss Rika joining us, I can feel a little more at ease."

Just then, another young man came up to Professor Oak, carrying a large stack of documents.

Who is this?

“I am John, a student of Dr. Xiu Li.”

"Oh, so the culprit who gave the dangerous items to the child is also here."

Xiao Zhi's words instantly stung John.

I'm so sorry!

"We never expected that such a young child like Xiaomei could put together the Unknown Totem Block. I'm reflecting on my actions as well," John said with a look of regret.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. The most important thing is to rescue Xiaomei and Hanako."

At this moment, Professor Oak quickly interrupted Ash and his friends' conversation.

"You are all trainers I trust, so I'm entrusting this matter to you."

Upon hearing this, Ash and his friends immediately nodded and began preparing, while Rika also teleported over her other Pokémon.

Xiaoling and John stayed behind to assist Professor Oak in monitoring the energy changes in the Crystal Tower.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the side quest "Conquer Charizard Valley!": Please defeat all the top 20 strongest Charizards in Charizard Valley!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +5000; Attack +1; Special Attack +2; Charizard gains "Proof of the Strongest" +1]

Unexpectedly, Charizard had just finished the mission, so Ash contacted Ji Ke directly using the Pokémon Center's phone number.

Bringing Charizard along to provide support will increase our combat strength.

Once everything was ready, Ash took Misty and Blossom to the Crystal Tower.

Along the way, Ash and his friends also saw a rescue team arranged by the League, with several large bulldozers working together to remove the crystals on the grassland.

Unfortunately, as soon as a little bit was removed, thicker and harder crystals immediately covered it, even knocking the bulldozer away.

The driver inside screamed in terror; the crystal was too bizarre.

Then the energy fluctuations quickly covered the bulldozer, and even the bulldozer was instantly crystallized.

Ash was quick-witted and, before the energy spread to the cockpit, he immediately ran up and rescued all the staff inside.

"Thank you, but who are you? The entrance should be sealed off; ordinary people aren't allowed in..."

The leader here took the team members from Xiao Zhi and was about to ask a question when he was met with Xiao Zhi's resolute eyes.

"I am Ash, a trainer from Pallet Town, and I have been asked by Professor Oak to come here."

"It's too dangerous here. Leave it to me, you all get out of here right now!"

The people present didn't know why, but even though they didn't know Xiaozhi, they felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

My first reaction was an instinctive urge to obey his orders.

The leader immediately led dozens of people and happily retreated from this godforsaken place.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host on the change in trait: "Orator" lv5→lvmax (Whether viewed from the front or the side, the young man's linguistic charm has reached its peak!)]

The orator trait has reached the highest level, a pleasant surprise.

However, the power of the unknown totem is truly amazing; even if the crystal it creates is destroyed, it can immediately recover.

"Just like a living thing, it keeps multiplying outwards."

"And at this rate of expansion..." the entire green grassland is almost completely covered.

Just then, the communicator that the professor gave to Ash suddenly started beeping, and Ash's voice came through as soon as he answered.

"Ash, we just carefully studied the information left by Shuri. It seems that Unown has the ability to sense the thoughts of other creatures."

"It can sense people's inner thoughts and materialize them."

"I think the Unknown Totem is a reaction to Xiaomei's inner thoughts."

"That crystal tower was manifested based on Xiaomei's inner thoughts."

Xiaoxia looked up at the towering tower.

"In other words, to resolve this crisis, all we need to do is bring Xiaomei out, right, Doctor?"

"That's roughly it. As long as we can get Xiaomei away from the location where the unknown totem is sensing, those totems should stop."

Having understood their goal, Ash and his friends quickly continued on their way.

Now all the plants and buildings in the green grassland have been crystallized, making it look both beautiful and eerie.

Especially Dr. Xiuli's house, that huge manor castle is now completely covered by crystals, and the entrance is nowhere to be found.

Finally, Rin found that the artificial river inside the castle was not covered by crystals, so Ash carried Rin and Misty and jumped onto it.

Following the direction of the river, they kicked down the drain gate and entered the castle.

At that moment, a television reporter happened to be reporting on this spectacular crystal tower from a distant hillside.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look at this peculiar building. It is the home of Dr. Hsui, the once world-renowned Pokémon researcher."

"But at this moment, a sudden and major change occurred, but Professor Oak has already assembled a temporary emergency committee and arrived on the green meadow..."

"The situation here remains extremely dangerous, so please do not approach."

Suddenly, the photographer's lens drifted into the distance, and just as the reporter was about to get angry, he heard...

"Huh? What do you mean a boy carrying two girls kicked down the outer wall and ran inside?"

"Hey, quick, take a picture! Take a picture over there!"

Ash's heroic act of entering the Crystal Tower was broadcast throughout the Johto region via television.

At this moment, in Xiaomei's room on the highest floor of the Crystal Tower, she was happily leaning against Hanako's chest.

He kept muttering "Mom" under his breath.
