Actually, it was still the same principle: even though Ash could see Ho-Oh's name with his Insight Eye, he couldn't understand the meaning Ho-Oh was expressing, just like the Electrostatic ability.
So Ash really wanted to ask Misty what kind of existence Ho-Oh was. Was she a legendary Pokémon? Why was she so excited to see Ho-Oh?
At the same time, Ash also deeply felt the saying, 'No knowledge is truly terrifying.' It seemed he needed to catch up on Pokémon knowledge in the group chat.
It was laughable; he hadn't even memorized the type effectiveness chart... In the end, Ash still didn't ask Misty what kind of existence Ho-Oh was, because then the two words 'Ho-Oh' coming from his mouth wouldn't have a reasonable explanation.
The various Ashes in the group had said that the existence of the chat group should not be exposed. There were many people with ulterior motives in the world, and even if he only told those he was close to and trusted, it would inevitably lead to the exposure of the chat group.
It was best if only he knew about it.
So, even the usually carefree Ash strictly adhered to the admonitions he had set for himself, absolutely not exposing the existence of the chat group.
As for Ho-Oh, he would ask the big shots in the chat group later. For now, he would quietly feel the shock brought to him by the legendary Pokémon's aura and charm.
"Pikachu, you have to become as strong as her in the future!"
"Pika Pi?" Pikachu pointed at himself, looking at Ash with a 'you're not kidding, are you?' expression.
He didn't know Ho-Oh either, but that didn't stop him from feeling an extremely terrifying sense of oppression from Ho-Oh. To make him grow to Ho-Oh's level, let alone how many years it would take, whether he even had that potential was another matter.
"You can do it, because you are my partner." This time, Ash wasn't joking; instead, he looked at Pikachu and said with unwavering determination, his words full of trust in Pikachu.
"Pika... Pika Pi!!!" They had only been together for less than a day, but his Trainer had such great expectations and trust in him, which also ignited Pikachu's ambition.
He thumped his chest, declaring that one day in the future, he would definitely become a super electric mouse that controlled lightning, comparable to Ho-Oh!
Misty, standing by, looked at the expressions of the boy and the mouse with a strange look, her face showing an expression of wanting to speak but hesitating.
She didn't really want to discourage Ash and Pikachu, but these two were a bit too fanciful. Making Pikachu as strong as Ho-Oh? How was that any different from hoping a Fearow could one day evolve into a Ho-Oh?
But looking at the ambitious beginners, Misty ultimately didn't open her mouth to discourage them. If one had no dreams, what was the difference from a salted fish, even if this dream wasn't very practical.
"Misty, look at that!" Misty, who was in a daze, was startled by Ash's voice. Immediately after, she followed Ash's refer to direction and saw that Ho-Oh's figure had gradually disappeared, but in the sky, there seemed to be a rainbow falling down!
"Come on, let's go quickly and see! You ride the bike!" As Ash's voice fell, he called Pikachu and rushed forward.
"Hey, hey! Wait for me!" Misty exclaimed from behind. She had just gotten on her bike and looked up, only to see the receding figures of Ash and Pikachu.
Goodness, what speed is this? It's too fast! She doesn't even ride her bike that fast!
...Ash arrived at the place where the rainbow fell with the speed of wind. This place was about a kilometer from where they had just rested, but Ash ran there in less than a minute, which had already set a new record for Ash's fastest speed.
Pikachu was on Ash's shoulder, tightly clutching Ash's clothes, looking disheveled in the wind.
At this moment, Pikachu was thinking—if you had this speed when you were running away just now, you would have shaken off the Spearow long ago, right? So you were deliberately slowing down just now to fight the Spearow, right?
"Is this... a feather?" Ash arrived directly below where the rainbow fell. At this moment, the rainbow light had just landed on the ground. As the rainbow light fell, the surrounding small weeds grew rapidly as if they had been given hormones, growing more than ten centimeters taller in the blink of an eye.
Enveloped in the rainbow light was a brilliant feather. The shape of this feather was very similar to Ho-Oh's feathers, but its color was different from any feather on Ho-Oh.
Ash picked up the feather and held it in front of his eyes, examining it carefully. At first, the feather emitted a multicolored rainbow light, but as Ash picked it up, the light on the feather slowly began to recede, revealing the feather's original appearance.
"A multicolored feather? A rainbow wing?" Ash stared blankly at the information that appeared before him.
His Insight Eye was still working steadily. The true name of this feather appeared before Ash. It seemed that anything related to Pokémon, the Insight Eye could work, but its effect was not fully realized.
Aside from knowing that the feather was called a rainbow wing, Ash knew nothing else.
Judging from the name alone, this should be a feather shed by Ho-Oh. Even a single strand of hair shed by a legendary Pokémon seems different from ordinary Pokémon.
"Screech, screech, screech!!" The sound of rapid pedaling came from behind Ash. A moment later, emergency brakes screeched, and Misty skidded to a stop behind Ash with a tail whip. Her fair face was covered in sweat, her red lips wide open, panting continuously.
"I said... huff... you ran... huff... too fast! I can't even catch up to you on a bicycle!" It took Misty a long time to finish a single sentence.
Before Misty could continue to complain, Ash placed the rainbow wing in front of her eyes. Misty, who was still about to say something, was instantly captivated by the rainbow wing.
"Is this... Ho-Oh's feather? It's so beautiful!" Misty took the rainbow wing from Ash's hand and held it in front of her, admiring it dearly.
But as Misty took the rainbow wing, the rainbow wing, which was originally filled with beautiful colors, suddenly became dull. Misty was stunned, and then a panicked expression appeared on her face.
"Wh-what's going on, Ash? Why did this feather turn gray? I didn't do anything!"
Ash also scratched his head in confusion, somewhat at a loss, saying, "I don't know either. It was fine just now. Could it be because it separated from Ho-Oh that it became like this? The reason it was colorful at first was because it hadn't been long since it left Ho-Oh."
"No way... Ash, you hold it and see." Misty handed the feather back to Ash. The moment Ash took the rainbow wing in his hand, the originally gray rainbow wing was instantly enveloped in color.
There was even a faint multicolored light emanating from the rainbow wing. The shimmering light made Pikachu, on Ash's shoulder, feel a comfortable and relaxed sensation.
"Oh, this?" Misty and Ash looked at the re-glowing rainbow wing, speechless for a moment. This feather was picky about who held it?
