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

"It really is Lugia."

Moreover, it was a tiny Lugia, only about a meter long, looking like a baby.

"Yes, that's why we think we can only come to you, Master Xiaozhi, to handle this."

On the other side is Lugia. In a place like Water City where the worship of the sea god is so strong, no one dares to do anything to him.

"The people who were originally clearing rubble here were the first to discover it."

"But the other party seems to have become stressed and will attack anyone who gets close, even innocent passersby."

"Although no one was injured, everyone was worried about further provoking it, so they all evacuated."

Then, after a discussion, the staff present immediately thought of notifying Xiaozhi.

After all, Ash, as Lugia's trainer, is now the person they trust the most.

After bringing Ash and his friends to the location, the staff immediately withdrew.

Lugia, nestled amidst the ruins, clutched her injured wing, warily surveying her surroundings.

It was too young and had never been separated from its mother before. Now, it had inexplicably come to an unfamiliar environment and was instinctively afraid of all the noise around it.

At this moment, Ash walked out confidently and slowly approached. Lugia immediately turned around and glared at him, then fired a Blow Away attack.

A strong wind howled past, but this Loki was too small, and its blowing had no effect on Ash, not moving him an inch.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

At this moment, the blessing of the sea god on Ash took effect, and any Lugia would feel close to Ash.

The little Lugia opposite Ash looked at Ash and slowly stopped attacking. Ash took the opportunity to quickly take out a healing potion and slowly poured it on its injured wing.

Sensing Ash's kindness, the wariness and fear on Lugia's face slowly disappeared.

[Ding! Lugia: Affection +2]

But when Xiaoxia and Serena got close, it immediately became nervous again.

Seeing this, Ash released Blackie.

Upon seeing the appearance of an older member of its kind, Lugia's expression relaxed somewhat, but then it suddenly burst into tears again.

"What's wrong now?"

Seeing the little guy crying, Ash and Blackie scratched their heads. Blackie wasn't this prone to crying when he was a child.

Even with everyone working together, they couldn't calm it down.

In the end, it was Pikachu who had to step in and perform its signature face-changing act in front of Lugia, making Lugia laugh and finally stopping its crying.

Seeing that things had finally calmed down, Ash quickly released Eight Treasure Porridge and asked it to ask Lugia why it was there.

Eight Treasure Porridge jumped over cheekily, and after some questioning...

"This little thing said it used to live with its mother and had a very happy life."

"But for some reason, one day my mother suddenly wrapped it in an energy ball and sent it away."

"It was sleeping and had no idea what was happening. When it woke up, it was here."

They're just kids; they don't have any useful information.

"Did your mom abandon you?" Babaozhou suddenly said with a wicked grin, and Xiaozhi immediately punched Babaozhou.

"Of course not!"

This guy was clearly saying that on purpose, trying to make Lugia cry.

"Your mother must have encountered some problem to have to send you away in such a hurry." Ash gently stroked Lugia's head.

"We can help you find your mother. Can you try to recall if there's anything unique about the place where you lived with your mother?"

But when little Lugia started babbling, what the Eight Treasure Porridge translated was...

"It said it was a place with lots of water."

"This is the ocean! There's water everywhere. Saying this is no different from saying nothing at all!" Ash had a headache.

"Xiaobai, think about it carefully again. It needs to be different from other places."

"Little White?" Misty looked at Ash with suspicion.

"To differentiate it from Blackie, Whiteie sounds really good, right?" Ash was truly impressed with his naming skills.

"What's so nice about it? What a perfunctory name!"

However, Little Lugia... no, Little White, accepted the name very quickly. It covered its head with its wings and thought for a moment.

"Okay, ignore this fierce Gyarados sister and think it over carefully."

"Hey!"

After racking his brains, Xiaobai finally came up with a few more ideas.

"Yes, it says that you can see a lot of whirlpools when you swim normally."

That means it's basically within the Whirlpool Islands, Ash quickly pressed for more information.

"Do you still have any Little White? Let me think about it some more."

"It usually likes to sleep on a silvery-white stone, and there are many similar stones around it."

"Silver-white stones..."

At this moment, Xiaoxia suddenly remembered that she and Serena had previously looked up information about the Whirlpool Islands travel guide.

"That must be a specialty of Silver Rock Island, Silver Rock Stone!"

The search area has finally been narrowed down to the vicinity of Silver Rock Island.

Ash is next heading to Red Rock Island for the Whirlpool Tournament, and after the tournament, he'll be heading to Silver Rock Island.

We can bring Lugia along, since we can't just leave such a young child unattended.

It's obvious how dangerous it would be for a legendary Pokémon's young to drift alone on the ocean.

Leaving aside the poachers, it's uncertain whether it could protect itself if it were injured like before.

"Little White, we'll help you find your mother. Stay with us for now."

Lugia nodded, sensing Ash's gentle aura.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Little Lugia Finds Its Mother": Please help Little Lugia successfully find its mother.]

Ash took out a regular Poké Ball and placed it in front of Snow.

"It's too conspicuous to be outside. This is an ordinary Poké Ball, and its binding force is very weak."

"If you're willing to trust me, please stay here for a while. You can leave anytime you want while inside a regular Poké Ball."

After thinking for a while, Lugia glanced at Ash and ultimately chose to believe him.

The little head tapped the middle button, went into a regular Poké Ball, and without much shaking, it was successfully captured with a ding.

Ash picked up the Poké Ball and sighed, "Catching three legendary Pokémon in the last two days, isn't that a bit too smooth...?"

For some reason, he's starting to have a bad feeling.

Chapter 283 Wow, there's still room to stop!

Two days later, with the help of all parties, the damaged area was quickly repaired, and everything seemed to have returned to the way it was before the disaster.

Of course, there are some differences as well. For example, new statues of Latios and Latias have been erected in the city square.

At the same time, a strange statue of a muscular man with long hair was also erected.

"Is this me?"

Before Ash and his friends left Water 7, Bengle took them to visit these statues.

The statue looks like it was Ash when he entered Super Rookie 3.

"That's right, this is a statue erected by the citizens to thank you for your contributions during the crisis."

"Isn't he cool!" Bengre proudly introduced to Ash.

The statue is ten meters tall, and the carving is quite good, especially the face, which perfectly captures Ash's handsome features.

"It's just that there's obviously a lot of artistic embellishment." Xiaoxia waved her hand, gesturing for Latias, who was admiring his own statue, to fly to the side.

"Although you can still tell that the statue's features are Ash, it's at least three degrees more handsome." In Xiaoxia's eyes, Ash's face can be described as upright and sunny, and if you look at it for a while, you'll feel a resolute handsomeness.

But it's quite different from the traditional handsome man, and why is the statue entirely made of gold?

"Really? Ash looks like this, right?" In Serena's mind, Ash looked pretty much like this.

Seeing Serena's innocent expression, Xiaoxia decided she didn't want to talk to her anymore.

"But why is there only Black next to my statue?" Ash was quite satisfied with the statue.

I'm just a little confused. Suicune and Entei were also present at the time, so why didn't I see them?

Unexpectedly, Ben Gray touched his bald head and said helplessly.

"Well... although the statue was built with donations from the residents, the bulk of the funding actually came from the Temple of Lugia in the Water City."

"They felt that having Lugia on the statue was enough; the other two legendary Pokémon weren't that important..."

"okay, I get it."

In an instant, Xiao Zhi sensed the dirty stench of the adults' struggle and immediately stopped asking questions.

After visiting the statue, Ash and his friends prepared to leave. Bengre had already arranged for them to take a ship to Red Rock Island.

When they left, he personally led the way to see Ash and his friends off.

At this moment, Canon finally arrived, panting heavily, clearly having rushed over in a great hurry.

"Give."

As soon as he arrived, Kanon handed Ash the drawing he was holding, and the drawing depicted Ash and Pikachu.

"It's very well drawn." This was the first time Xiaozhi had seen Kanon's paintings.

"Thank you, Canon. I will keep it safe."

Unexpectedly, Latias flew over and transformed into Canon. It pulled the real Canon along and kissed Ash on both cheeks.

Then Latias quickly ran back into the Poké Ball.

“Oh dear, this is…” Ben Gray shook his head helplessly.

The ship was about to depart.

"See you later, Ash!" Canon said, waving goodbye to Ash with a blush on her face.

"Yes, we'll definitely meet again."

Ash will meet Canon again; he has already made Water Seven the headquarters of his company in the southeast of the Johto region.

He also left behind a spatial teleportation device, so he would come back from time to time.

----tornado----

The ship quickly took Ash and his friends to their destination, Red Rock Island, the final venue for the Whirlpool Tournament.

During the journey, Ash also released Snowball to help it find its habitat.

But as expected, they still couldn't find any trace of Little White's mother, and in the end, they still had to go to Silver Rock Island.

Upon arriving at Red Rock Island, Ash and his friends immediately headed to the Pokémon Center to register for the competition.

[Ding! Congratulations on triggering a new side quest, "Hero of the Sea": Win the Whirlpool Islands Tournament!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +5000; Stamina +2; Attack +2; Free Attribute Points +3; Title "Hero of the Sea"]

[Hero of the Sea: Reduces the power of water-type skills taken by 10%]

"This is the arena for the next battle."

The ancient arena that emerged from the sea is the stage for this Whirlpool Tournament.

At first glance, it looks like the Colosseum in ancient Rome, but in the middle is a water battle arena connected to the sea. Shortly after Ash and his friends registered, they came here for the opening ceremony of the tournament.
