Ten slaps in a second, and Xiaomei immediately couldn't hold back anymore.

He couldn't keep up the act of playing dead any longer, so he had no choice but to apologize and beg for forgiveness.

"Waaah, I was wrong, big brother, please don't hit me anymore~"

"That won't do." How could he let her off so easily? She had caused such a big mess. Xiao Zhi beat her for five minutes straight before stopping.

Unfortunately, Xiaomei is only a six-year-old child. If she were an adult, she would be subjected to a whole package of being broken all over her body by Xiaozhi, then healed, and then broken again.

"Alright, Xiaomei, stop fooling around and come with me out of here."

"No! My friends are here! I don't want to leave!"

On Xiao Mei's bed were also tiny elephants and bear cubs formed from unknown totem energy, which ran over at that moment, trying to rescue Xiao Mei from Xiao Zhi's grasp.

Ash casually swung his fist and smashed them all to pieces.

Seeing Xiaozhi raise his hand again, Xiaomei was scared, but she still held her head tightly with tears in her eyes and refused to leave.

The surrounding spikes also began to erupt violently again at that moment, growing wildly once more. Charizard could only desperately swing at Dr. Xiuli.

The Charizard was exhausted, and in a moment of inattention, Professor Xiuli was knocked away by the spikes and fell to the ground with a thud.

Since Xiaomei was unwilling to leave on her own, Xiaozhi forcibly took her away.

He tucked her under his arm, rolled over, picked up Dr. Xiuli and Charizard from the ground, and forced his way out.

"Xiao Mei, didn't you want to be a trainer?"

"If you stay in the Crystal Tower and don't go out to travel and encounter real Pokémon, you can't become a good trainer."

"But...but Dad is gone. If I leave here, I'll never see him again."

"No, your father is still alive, look!"

"really?"

Upon hearing that her father was still alive, Xiao Mei's eyes lit up instantly, and the previously raging crystal thorns around her calmed down considerably.

Ash immediately stood up Professor Shower, who was completely encased in crystal.

"...What is this human-shaped stick that Ash Ketchum is?"

"Oh, I forgot."

They kept using Dr. Xiuli as a weapon, and to increase its hardness, they covered it with several layers of highly crystalline material.

Now I can't even see Dr. Xiuli's face clearly anymore.

After quickly removing the crystallization, Dr. Xiuli, dressed in an archaeological suit, finally appeared in front of Xiaomei.

"It really is Dad! The one Charizard used to defend against the spiked attack was also..."

"Ahem, that's not important!" Ash quickly changed the subject, putting Professor Xiuli and Mei aside.

The little girl immediately ran over and hugged Dr. Xiuli with great joy. Feeling his body temperature, Xiaomei finally confirmed that her father had really returned.

Perhaps it was because they had rested enough after returning from the unknown totem dimension.

It's also possible that Ash and Charizard used it to attack the surrounding crystals, forcibly waking it up.

Anyway, Dr. Xiuli slowly opened his eyes at this moment.

Where am I?

"Great, Dad, wake up!"

“Xiaomei, I remember I was supposed to be studying the unknown totem murals inside the ruins.”

"It seems like I was sucked into another dimension by a strange energy back then, how did I end up back here..."

"It was my friends and I who rescued you from that other dimension." Ash handed Professor Shuri a bottle of stamina potion and made him drink it.

After looking around at the room, which was covered in crystals and in a mess, Dr. Xiuli barely confirmed that this should be Xiaomei's room, her own home.

"Ugh, why does my head hurt so much? It feels like something hit me really hard."

"This must be a side effect brought from another dimension!"

"really?"

"Of course!" Ash and Charizard nodded seriously together.

He added that such a trivial issue should be quickly put behind him.

Fortunately, Xiaomei is still immersed in the joy of her father's return and hasn't mentioned what Ash and Charizard did to her.

Now that Dr. Xiuli has returned, Xiaomei is no longer alone, and the crystal spikes in the Crystal Tower have all calmed down.

Once everyone is moved away from the area where the unknown totem cannot sense them, this incident will finally come to an end.

With the trouble resolved, Ash was happy and, at Charizard's urging, took out some ointment to apply to the small wounds on its body.

Old Spitter has actually fallen in love; he doesn't want to have scars on his body.

"Seriously, you actually managed to seduce Lisa, and now you're starting to get vain."

"Roar." (I learned that from you.)

But unexpectedly, a violent tremor emanated from beneath the house.

Suddenly, the surrounding crystals began to grow wildly again.

"What's going on?" Ash immediately pulled Professor Shower and Mimi onto Charizard's back, broke through the top of the Crystal Tower, and came out into the sky.

They saw that, centered on the crystal tower, energy was transmitted from the basement to the sky, forming a huge energy shield that covered the entire manor.

Looking into the distance, the only town on the grassland has been completely crystallized.

The protective barrier originally set up by the League at the edge of the Green Grassland was breached, and Professor Oak released his Pokémon to fight, something he hadn't done in a long time.

Together with Lihua and Xiaoxia, they tried to stop the crystals from spreading further out of the grassland, but the rate at which the crystals expanded was accelerating.

"Xiao Mei is not in control of them."

Looking at the crystals below that had suddenly started to expand again, Xiaomei was completely baffled.

At that moment, Kojiro's voice came through Ash's communicator.

"Boss, something terrible has happened."

"We and Pikachu finally overcame many obstacles and arrived at the location of the Unknown Totem."

"But for some reason, these hundreds of Unknown Totems suddenly started to riot, and now it's all thanks to Pikachu that they're being stopped."

"Please send reinforcements..." Before Kojiro could finish speaking, his communicator was shattered by the energy of the Unknown Totem World.

“Several hundred…” Dr. Xiuli was shocked by the number.

The small stone tablets with ancient writing that he and John studied together at the beginning only numbered about 20.

After Xiaomei pieced them together, there were indeed only a few dozen unknown totems that appeared at first.

"It seems that the energy of the unknown totem initially attracted more of its kind from another dimension, which is why this situation has occurred."

“These unknown totems will not cause any problems if they are alone, but as long as there are many of them, they will cause problems.”

"They will begin to resonate with each other, drawing out amazing energy."

This is the conclusion reached by Dr. Xiuli after years of research.

However, it is not impossible to stop them; all that is needed is to defeat these unknown totems with powerful external force.

This is also why Ash sent James and the others to the basement to find the Unown.

After all, to solve the problem, both taking Xiaomei away and defeating the unknown totem can be accomplished, so we will proceed on both fronts simultaneously.

It's against the traditional Chinese mindset of "saturation rescue."

Now, Ash and his friends have no choice but to go to the basement first and deal with the Unown there.

Fortunately, these crystals are now only spreading randomly and instinctively, instead of targeting a specific target as they did before.

Moving forward was actually much easier than before.

Soon Ash and his friends arrived at the basement where Mei had released the Unown.

"Meow, Kojiro, are we going to die?"

"No, I believe our leader will come to our rescue!"

Weezing and Arbok were instantly defeated by the energy scattered by Unown, and now the three of them can only hide behind Wobbuffet to save their lives.

It has to be said that Guo Shen is still too strong; he can even deflect the exaggerated energy waves of the Unknown Totem Array.

"Sonas!"

In the basement, a large number of unknown totems flew rapidly as if forming a magic circle.

As they move, energy surges forth, constantly impacting the sky above the crystal tower.

Pikachu tried to stop them again, using Volt Blast to collide with Unown's Great Array.

Unfortunately, even if Pikachu's explosive attack defeats several Unown, new ones will soon replace them.

Pikachu was knocked away by the aftershock.

Just then, Ash arrived riding Charizard and grabbed Pikachu.

"Thank you for your hard work, Pikachu."

"Pickup!"

As soon as he landed, he saw Kojiro and his two companions huddled together, trembling as they watched the army of unknown totems that were rampaging and releasing energy above the center of the basement.

"Boss, you're finally here!"

"You've all worked hard this time too."

The trio who didn't run away are truly loyal; Ash will reward them later.

"Charizard and Pikachu quickly moved to the area beneath the Unknown Totem and used their abilities to stop them from continuing their rampage."

"These are all unknown totems."

Professor Xiuli, who had just gotten off Charizard's back with Ash, was sweating profusely.

"These unknown totems have released too much energy, and even they themselves can no longer control it."

"If it weren't for Pikachu controlling things here, the energy would have blown this place up long ago."

"However, it seems the situation is not optimistic now. Ash, we must stop them quickly."

"I see."

At this point, Ash stopped hiding and released all the Pokémon he had with him.

"My friends, let's unleash our most powerful skills and attack the Unknown Totems!"

Ash really did release all his Pokémon, even Mewtwo.

At this moment, Mewtwo wouldn't act arrogantly and disobey Ash; it would also use its Energy Ball to attack Unown.

"Oh young man, these wonderful companions are all your Pokémon!" Professor Xiuli looked at the boy he had just met with newfound respect.

Even as an expert on legendary Pokémon, he recognized Suicune at a glance.

There was also a Pokémon that looked and smelled quite similar to Mew, but with something unique about it.

Ash's Pokémon's attacks clashed with Unown's energy waves, creating a stalemate.

"This energy is too strong."

Ash noticed that his Pokémon was starting to pant heavily, so he quickly took out a stamina potion and threw it to it.

At this moment, Dr. Xiuli took out the notebook that was in his pocket.

"According to legend, when Arceus created Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, a large number of unknown totems also appeared around Arceus."

"Therefore, the upper limit of the power of these unknown totems is immeasurable."

"Ash, let's attack the center of their group together! That's their weak point!"

Upon hearing the professor's words, Ash once again commanded his Pokémon to unleash their moves in the same location.

Ash himself clasped his hands together and began to gather his strength, squeezing out the power of Aura to its limit.
