Chapter 210 Your Mom is Gone
On the way, they encountered a female trainer named Xiaoling who challenged them to a battle. She was also a trainer who was collecting gym badges.
As soon as they saw Ash with Pikachu, they came over immediately.
Pokémon trainers are like this; they'll start hitting each other at the drop of a hat.
The fickle and promiscuous Xiao Zhi naturally accepted all comers and beat them mercilessly! (Just kidding!)
Moreover, it's a rare six-on-six all-out battle, so Ash is going to teach the new trainer a lesson and have a good time.
"Night Hawk, Air Slash!"
With a clean and decisive air wave, the Swamp King on the opposite side cowered and was defeated instantly after being hit by the psychic force.
Ash easily won 0-6 with just the Pokémon he caught in the Johto region!
This was after Xiaoling sent out a Dark-type Sneasel, and Xiaozhi sent out his Kushala Daora to get some kills.
"It seems my training of Pokémon in the Johto region has been quite successful." Ash was very satisfied.
"You're really strong. I thought I was pretty good, but I didn't expect to lose so badly."
"With a trainer as powerful as you participating in the League Tournament, I'm starting to wonder if I should continue traveling."
The girl, who had just been brutally beaten by Ash, was in a daze.
The poor young girl, still in the prime of her life, was brutally "humiliated" by a muscular man. What a heinous crime, Xiao Zhi! (Hey, don't talk nonsense!)
"Xiao Ling, you can't think like that. There's more to being a trainer than just winning or losing."
"The bond you develop with your Pokémon during your travels is the real treasure."
Ash can now utter such high-sounding words with the demeanor of a senior.
And judging from the girl's appearance, the effect is outstanding!
"Ash is right."
[Ding! Xiaoxia: Affection +1]
It was also extremely effective for Xiaoxia.
To comfort her, Xiaozhi invited her to lunch.
This is definitely not because the other person is a beautiful girl.
It was merely a small helping hand from a senior on the path of becoming a Pokémon Trainer to a junior.
Even if the other person is a tall, stunningly beautiful woman, Xiao Zhi will still comfort her.
Why does it feel like it's getting darker the more I wash it?
During lunch, I learned that Xiaoling's destination was also the Green Grassland, and that she knew the location of the only Pokémon Center near the grassland.
Since it was on the same route, Xiaozhi and his friends set off with Xiaoling.
"The green grasslands have the best scenery in the Johto region, and there is only a small town there, so the natural environment is extremely beautiful."
Along the way, the girls chatted excitedly about the scenic spots on the grassland, eagerly anticipating their upcoming trip.
"Xiaoling, have you been there before?" Xiaoxia really wanted to go to the green grassland right away.
"Of course, it's so beautiful, all you can see is green."
"Uh, Xiaoling, are you sure it's green?" Xiaozhi suddenly pointed into the distance, his lips twitching.
Then the group arrived at the stone platform at the town's crossroads and looked out from the high vantage point.
What should have been a lush, green grassland was now covered with large areas of crystals, as if frozen in ice.
"What happened? How did the green grassland turn into this?" Xiao Ling was stunned.
In the center of the grassland, a tall crystal tower rose up, resembling a demon king's castle.
The group immediately sensed that something was wrong.
The Pokémon Center was located at the town's crossroads, and Ash and his friends quickly ran over to ask what was going on.
Unexpectedly, a large number of reporters had already gathered at the entrance of the center, with cameras and microphones of all kinds, making it impossible to get in.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhi spotted a familiar face in the crowd.
Surrounded by reporters was none other than a leading figure in academia.
"Professor Oak!"
"Oh, Ash, you're here!"
"Honestly, I couldn't get through to you when I called this morning!"
"The signal was probably bad in the forest at the time—" Ash gave an embarrassed smile.
Actually, he saw Professor Oak's call when he left the forest, but he was in a battle and forgot to call back.
Pushing through the crowd, Professor Oak quickly led Ash and the others into the center.
At this moment, Professor Oak's expression showed some anxiety.
"Xiao Zhi, I have some bad news for you. I hope you can calm down later."
"What news?"
Seeing Professor Oak's serious expression, Ash immediately became serious as well.
Your mother is gone.
"Oh, Professor Oak, why are you swearing?"
"Oh no, sorry, my thoughts are a bit jumbled right now." Professor Oak quickly gathered his thoughts again and spoke to Ash again.
"It's your mother, Hanako. She was just kidnapped by the suddenly appearing Emperor Yan."
"What?!"
Professor Oak's words were even more incomprehensible to Ash.
"What has captured you, Emperor Yan?"
"And why is my mother here? Why did Emperor Yan capture her?"
There are too many questions, and now Xiaozhi's thoughts are in turmoil.
What is this all about? I recognize each word individually, but I can't understand it when they're put together.
After a long explanation, Ash finally learned the whole story from Professor Oak.
It turns out that the location of the crystal tower in the green grassland is the home of Dr. Shuri, an expert who studies legendary Pokémon. "Dr. Shuri and your mother were both my students. They were classmates and friends."
"And you've probably seen it too, Ash. After graduation, Shuri often brings 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 unexpectedly some time ago while researching the remains of unknown totems."
Professor Oak's tone suddenly turned somber, as few people who disappear due to the Unknown Totem emerge unscathed.
It's highly likely that his prized student won't be coming back.
"Then his house suddenly changed to this state—and the Central City Alliance specifically invited me to investigate this sudden anomaly."
"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 Entei suddenly rushed out of the tower and grabbed me."
"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 Flame Emperor, and I could tell it didn't have any malicious intent 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 that it was 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."
Xiao Zhi wanted to beat up this student.
"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 Ash a new communication watch and said to him with a serious expression.
"Ash, 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 Flame Emperor, they will make them pay the price!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "The 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 please be careful, Satoshi."
