After solving those Biker Gang members, Ash didn't trouble them any more, but transferred them to Officer Jenny afterwards. After all, although these guys disturbed him and Xiao Zhi and the others, he would spare them a beating for the sake of their caring for their Pokémon.
And after solving these matters, Professor Oak and the others were also going back with Dragonair and the Dratini. And Ash took advantage of this time to start instructing Gastly.
"Gastly, you only have one task, protect Xiao Zhi and my mom and Nurse Oak while Arbok and I are traveling, and practice the skills I taught you well. You're going to be on stage at the Indigo League Conference, and you tell the guys in reserve that I want them to be on stage at the Indigo League Conference."
Hearing Ash's words, Gastly's eyes twitched, and then he asked uncertainly, "Boss, are you sure you want to do this?"
Seeing Gastly's expression as if he was kidding, Ash looked at him strangely and asked, "What's wrong? The Indigo League Conference must be full of experts. Everyone will definitely need help then."
".....Boss, are you sure it's full of experts? Are you confusing what your competition here is?"
Gastly now seriously suspected that Ash must have confused the Regional Tournament with the League Champion Tournament. The champion of the Regional Tournament can at most obtain the qualification for the League Champion Tournament. Only by obtaining this qualification can they challenge the Elite Four, and only by winning the Elite Four can they fight the Champion. The difference between the two is huge!
"Don't worry, Gastly, I definitely haven't confused them. When I helped Karen before, I met a guy with a Kommo-o with Elite Four level. Although it may be his elder's, who knows if there will be a dark horse."
"Um... boss, what you said are all at the ancestor level according to human terms. It's good to have one Elite Four level."
"Then look at our family, aren't those guys all Alpha Pokémon? What do you say about that?"
"Boss, you really dare to say... don't you know what you did? You used those jelly beans to stabilize their realm as if they didn't cost money, and then you treated their hidden injuries with all kinds of good medicinal materials every day. Isn't it you who made them become Alpha Pokémon so early!"
"So, you see, I have these methods, so who knows if people in other regions also have special methods? After you go home, let everyone prepare well and don't let your guard down!"
"...Okay... you're the boss, you decide..."
"..."*N
Listening to Ash and Gastly's conversation, Professor Oak and the others, who knew the truth, all wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. Ash was good at everything, but sometimes he was too good at fighting wits with the air.
"That Ash, I don't think it's necessary to let those guys in the backyard come on stage... With the strength of this team you're training now, it should be no problem... Besides, you still have Pikachu and Meowth..."
Glancing at Arbok lying next to Ash, Professor Oak's eyes twitched again. A trainer who can heal Pokémon is really popular. None of them need to worry about hidden injuries... But Ash's habit of fighting wits with the air is really...
Fortunately, Daisy stepped forward to help after seeing Professor Oak's embarrassment and said, "Okay Ash, your ability is no problem for this Regional Tournament."
"But I'm also doing this to let my old friends make an appearance. You want me to participate in the tournament with my old partners. How great is that? This is my first time participating in a tournament. I feel weird if they don't come..."
Hearing Ash say this, Daisy was silent for a moment and then said to Professor Oak, "Grandpa, I support Ash this time. Ash and his Pokémon's bond is worth him doing this. Just like Ash said, it's really strange not to let them make an appearance."
"...Daisy, you haven't married yet, but you're already helping Ash..."
Professor Oak was speechless looking at his granddaughter who had turned against him in an instant. She had already started to support outsiders. Seeing his granddaughter so unreliable, Oak could only look at Xiao Zhi, but at this time Xiao Zhi was hugging Ash's arm and said, "It would be great if Lucario was here too..."
"Lucario, I don't know why I have a strange feeling when I hear this name from your mouth..."
While saying this, Ash shed tears without even realizing it, and Ash covered his heart and said, "I've clearly met Cynthia's Lucario many times, but why do I want to cry so much when I hear it from your mouth?"
"I think, it's because all the members we've lived with together have a deeper impression on you, Ash..."
Gently wiping away the tears for Ash, Xiao Zhi said with a smile, "Maybe we'll see Lucario again soon? I have this premonition, maybe we'll be able to meet again soon."
"Is that so? Then I'm looking forward to it, Lucario..."
--Segmentation line--
Cameron Palace, Arceus' figure quietly appeared next to the scepter that sealed Lucario.
"Do you want to meet?"
"No, even if we meet, I want to dedicate my strength to Master Ash."
"Is that so? Then I will come over later. Be prepared then."
"Yes, thank you for your fulfillment..."
"It's just a small effort for me, but are you really not going to let me help you break the seal?"
"No, great god, I hope that when I truly wake up, what I see when I open my eyes is still Master Ash..."
"He sealed you, aren't you angry?"
"I never will be. The only thing I'm angry about is my weakness, and why I didn't be with Master Ash..."
"I see... what a good friendship..."
"Yes... so I'm looking forward to the real time I wake up, being able to see Master Ash again."
"...What a wonderful friendship... But Ash..."
Arceus felt more emotion than anything for the friendship between Ash and Lucario, because he also briefly had that friendship in the past.
That was the friendship he encountered in other worlds after he was injured by resisting the invading forces from other worlds.
"So the Pokémon world really exists? If possible, how about taking me to see it?"
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You humans' thoughts are too easy to guess."
"Then you can just kill me directly then, but can you really not save my girlfriend?"
"Sorry... can't... my power can't exert too much here..."
"Okay... it seems I can only rely on myself..."
...
"Oh dear... as expected, I still couldn't keep her in the end..."
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are just normal states, cheer up..."
"I said, Arceus, if someone took the curse for you, would you be able to recover?"
"Wait! What are you going to do! Stop! You will disappear completely!"
"If possible, I really want to see the Pokémon world with my own eyes, it must be great?"
"You... is it worth it to do this?"
"Who knows? I just did it on a whim, I suddenly feel very stupid..."
"You still know you're stupid..."
"But it's really interesting, I became friends with Arceus, if I brag about it, I guess I'll be treated as a lunatic?"
"I feel like you're scolding me..."
"Hahaha, let it be a self-comfort for me, a person who is about to disappear, but Arceus, since your power has recovered, what about my girlfriend?"
"Don't worry, she'll be fine in my world."
"Then I'm relieved, thank you Arceus, it's nice to know you..."
"No... thank you... this friendship... is invaluable to me..."
Recalling his excitement when he found that person who resembled the reincarnation of his brief friend, Arceus smiled slightly.
"The world... is really wonderful... You're right? My brief friend, Ash...".
