Chapter 294 Ash: Who else can't fly? I will fulfill His dream!
The Salamence, struck by the Ice Beam, let out a mournful cry; a four-fold super-effectiveness against Salamence is absolutely fatal.
Even though the attacker's level is far below his, the four-fold super-effectiveness makes up for it. Furthermore, Blastoise's attack power has improved significantly after Mega Evolution, allowing it to inflict some damage even against Elite Four level Salamence, let alone this four-fold super-effective attack.
Previously, Salamence had been hit by attacks from both sides many times. Although it also launched many attacks, they were all cleverly neutralized by Torterra. Torterra took on the role of a meat shield. Otherwise, if Gary's Blastoise had been hit even once, it probably wouldn't have had the strength to fight anymore.
Blastoise's attack became the final straw that broke Salamence's back. After letting out a roar of resentment, Salamence finally fell to the ground, powerless.
Suddenly, two Salamences descended from the sky. Gary and Shinji turned pale. Were they going to have to fight again? Wait a minute, the sign at the entrance didn't say anything!
The rules of the Dragon Trial and the conditions for victory at the ruins were written on a sign at the entrance. Otherwise, even if the two of them, who did not understand the language of Pokémon, knew that they had to defeat Salamence, they would not have known the rule that they could only use one Pokémon.
The sign at the entrance didn't say that after defeating one Salamence, there would be another battle. If it was only limited to one Pokémon, they wouldn't have had the strength to defeat the two Salamences that followed!
However, after the two Salamence landed, one of them picked up the fallen Salamence and placed it on its back before flying directly into the island, while the other Salamence shook its head at the two of them, indicating that they should sit on its back.
Shinji and Gary exchanged a glance, then recalled their Pokémon, Blastoise's Mega Evolution.
The form was also dispelled at the same time as it was retracted.
The two sat together on the back of the Salamence and flew towards the interior of the island. In less than two minutes, the Salamence fell from the sky, and at that moment, Gary and Shinji spotted a familiar face below—Ash!
Ash entered the island earlier than them, which they knew. This was a special privilege for the champion, and since they hadn't won the championship, they didn't have much to say. Compared to Ash, it took them a full day and a half longer to get in.
Ash may have already chosen his Pokémon, while they are still spending time getting to the inner island.
But now, they see Ash doing something with a Dragonair, and this is—
Taming a Hakkarosaurus? It looks a bit silly.
"—Actually, flying is quite simple. You just need to get used to the feeling of being in the sky, and then you can manipulate the wind. Although I don't know what it feels like to manipulate the wind, isn't this an innate ability of yours? What other Hakuryu can do, you can definitely do too!"
"Although I can't tell you how to control the power of the wind, I can show you how I fly." As soon as Ash finished speaking, he slowly stood up, then pushed off the ground with his feet and leaped into the air!
In mid-air, Ash stomped hard, creating visible ripples in the air, and instantly teleported to another location.
"Strictly speaking, this method can't really be considered flying. It's more like using the impact of stepping to move and float in the air. But I feel it's similar to using the power of the wind. See, it's very simple!"
Ash shouted down at the Dragonair below, making muffled thuds in the air.
The next second, Ash saw Salamence looking completely bewildered in the air, and behind Salamence, Shinji looked equally bewildered, and Gary looked somewhat helpless.
"Gary! Shinji! You're here too!" Ash greeted the two of them as he floated in the air.
Shinji stared at Gary with wide, trembling eyes, his gaze seeming to say, "Is this Ash?"
Xiao Mao nodded helplessly and said, "You didn't see wrong, that's Ash. That guy is a monster whose physique is in no way inferior to a Pokémon. Flying and escaping are nothing to him. He usually trains with Pokémon, and he even trains harder and more than the Pokémon. I don't need to explain what that means, right?"
Shinji: ————
For a moment, Shinji almost thought he had misheard. What did it mean to be able to fly and move freely, and even have a higher training level than a Pokémon? Was this still human?
It turns out that Ash is not only abnormal in his Pokémon, but he himself is also abnormal!
Speaking of which, Ash seemed to have teleported into the field during the Indigo League and caught his Pokémon once. At that time, he didn't know what that meant—
What was once just the tip of the iceberg of Ash's superhuman abilities is now even more impressive!
Weren't you here on Dragon Island looking for Pokémon? What are you doing now? Teaching a Dragonair to fly?
"As expected, I still can't understand this guy's thought process." Shinji silently admitted to himself that he had absolutely no way of understanding Satoshi.
He might have had some understanding before, but as this scene appeared before his eyes, he could no longer comprehend Ash's thought process. Would a normal person do something like this after entering the race against time on Dragon Island?
As Ash, Gary, and Paul landed from the sky, Gary looked at Ash with a slightly puzzled expression and asked, "Ash, what were you doing just now?"
"Huh? Isn't it obvious? I'm teaching Dragonair to fly! Let me tell you, Dragonair, she—" Ash gestured wildly as he told Gary and Ash about Dragonair's situation. However, the two of them didn't care about it at all. Dragonair that can't fly is certainly rare, but it's not as rare as a human that can fly.
What they care about is ————
"Why would you go and teach Dragonair how to fly? Have you already decided which Pokémon you want to catch?"
"Um—not yet, but I quite like this Dragonair. I want to teach her to fly first, and then we can talk about taming her."
Shinji raised an eyebrow. Here we go again—the inability to fly, Dragonair, and its slow progress in strength within Dragon Island all indicate that this Dragonair is merely a pseudo-legendary with mediocre, or even very poor, talent.
If we're talking about outside, even a pseudo-god with poor talent would still be attractive enough. But on Dragon Island, while it's not fair to say that pseudo-gods are everywhere, their numbers are definitely more numerous than outside.
In this situation, Ash still chose this useless Dragonair, just like he chose the abandoned Chimchar.
Is this guy a scavenger?
When Gary learned that Ash's target was this Dragonair, his expression changed slightly. However, his thoughts were different from Shinji's. Gary genuinely thought that Ash was about to catch another exceptionally gifted Pokémon.
Ash has a habit of regularly reporting his travel experiences to Professor Oak, and Gary, out of curiosity, once asked Professor Oak where Ash's exceptionally gifted Pokémon came from, and why Ash could always catch those Pokémon with perfect accuracy. He had caught a lot of Pokémon, but the ones with exceptional talent could be counted on two hands.
Does Ash have the ability to see through Pokémon's talents?
When Gary learned the truth, he was shocked. Rather than saying that Ash had the ability to see through Pokémon's talents, it would be more accurate to say that Ash simply chose to catch Pokémon with terrible talents.
The Pokémon he had were either abandoned Charmanders or Riolu, which was initially considered useless. Even Bulbasaur and Squirtle were actually abandoned Pokémon, and Pikachu was a mischievous one.
If you only look at a few kilometers, you'd think that Ash's Pokémon have nothing to do with any so-called extraordinary talent; on the contrary, they're all useless Pokémon.
However, Ash's magic lies in his ability to "turn trash into treasure." Those Pokémon that were clearly useless become exceptionally powerful in Ash's hands, seemingly possessing great talent.
But in reality, it was Ash who unearthed their talents. If it were an ordinary person, even if those Pokémon had powerful hidden talents, they would only end up as useless.
To take a recent example, take Chimchar. Gary was one of the first to witness the incident. Chimchar, which couldn't fully utilize its talents in Shinji's hands, was like a completely different Pokémon after it came to Ash's hands.
So even though this Dragonair performed terribly, Gary still felt that if it were Ash, he could definitely bring out Dragonair's talent. If he could bring out Dragonair's talent, it might become a top member of the Dragonite family in the future.
Shinji didn't respond to Ash's words. Instead, he looked around and randomly chose a direction to walk away.
Although he was somewhat interested in the fact that Smart couldn't bring out Dragonair's potential, it was more important to find a Pokémon to catch right now, otherwise he didn't know when he would be able to enter Dragon Island again.
After watching for a while, Gary said to Ash, "I'm going to find my own Pokémon. You can train here."
"Okay, go ahead—by the way, head east. There's a very talented Pokémon over there. Whether you can find it and gain the approval of the Salamence family depends on you." Ash waved goodbye to Gary, but then he suddenly remembered something and reminded Gary.
The Pokémon Ash mentioned was the most talented pseudo-legendary Pokémon he had encountered since entering Dragon Island, aside from the Dragonair in front of him.
Talent can only determine the lower limit of a Pokémon's potential; what determines the upper limit is naturally the trainer.
However, Ash believes that if it were Gary, he would definitely be able to bring out the full potential of that Beast Dragon.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shi was taken aback for a moment, then thanked Xiao Zhi with a joyful expression and quickly ran towards the east.
Based on Ash's special abilities, Gary had no doubt about what Ash said; if he said Ash had good talent, then he must have good talent.
For the first time, he truly understood what it meant to rely on connections when traveling. If it weren't for Ash, he probably would have had to travel around the entire inner island and then hastily catch a decent-looking Pokémon due to time constraints.
Now, he only needs to carefully select from the Salamence clan.
After Gary left, Ash continued to teach Dragonair how to fly. Dragonair, with only a vague understanding, actually managed to slowly float up.
Ash's method, though somewhat clumsy, gets straight to the point. To put it simply, it's about manipulating power to make himself fly. Ash relies on pure strength, while Dragonair utilizes the power of the wind.
One of the reasons why Hakkaron has never been able to fly is that he cannot even control the power of the wind, let alone fly.
But after being taught by Ash's strange teachings, for some reason he suddenly became able to manipulate the wind. After being able to manipulate the wind element, it became easier for him to fly.
In just half a day, the Hakuron, which had been unable to fly since its evolution, actually took to the air!
Pikachu clapped in awe. This was Ash. It was no wonder he could do anything, but when you actually saw what Ash did and succeeded, you couldn't help but feel a sense of awe—this is something a human can do!
Where can I find a human who can teach Pokémon both skills and flight?
After taking flight, two clear tears welled up in Hakron's bright eyes. She could finally—finally fly!
She is no longer an outcast in Hakron!
All of this is because of this person named Ash who landed on Dragon Island.
"Oh?" May I follow you around?
In the air, Hakuryu asked Ash earnestly.
Before Ash could even ask Dragonair, Dragonair asked Ash to stay by his side.
Whether it's out of gratitude or because of Ash's abilities as a trainer, Hakuryu has a deep respect for Ash.
Although she has now solved the problem of not being able to fly, the problem of her slow progress in her own strength has not yet been solved.
After evolving, for some unknown reason, her strength improved abnormally slowly, even though it had improved so quickly before evolving.
This problem is even more serious and difficult than the problem of not being able to fly, but Hakron believes that if it were Ash—he could definitely solve her problem.
She could never repay Xiao Zhi's great kindness. The only thing she could do was follow Xiao Zhi and do her best to help him, even if it meant risking her life!
So she took the initiative to suggest staying by Ash's side, which confused Ash—wasn't it me who wanted to catch you? Why is it the other way around?
