Pokémon Legend Chapter 206 205: Setting Off for Fire Island

"lody!"

At another table, hearing this, Carol shot her sister a helpless look, but she was powerless to do anything about her.

She was the apple of her parents' eye, and they doted on her excessively, to the point that her older sister had no authority to restrain her.

Waving her hand dismissively at Carol, lody turned her head back to Natsui and Ash.

"Actually, proving yourself isn't that difficult. You just have to retrieve three treasures from the three nearby islands—Fire Island, Ice Island, and Lightning Island—and place them on the shrine here on Shamouti Island. Then, I will play the ocarina of dedication to the gods, and that's it!"

Ash asked, "And where are the treasures?"

"In the shrines on the three islands, of course!" After saying this, lody saw Ash frown slightly. Thinking he was worried about his ability to reach the islands, she smiled. "Don't worry, if you want to go there, there are special boats to take you. And once you get to the shrines, there are even stairs to climb. It's really simple~"

Natsui and Tracey exchanged a look.

From the sound of it, this activity was clearly a gimmick, a ans for the islanders to attract people by using the local legend. It was obvious that the "treasures" were also pre-arranged items they had placed there in advance.

All in all, it did indeed sound very simple, a task that should be easy to complete.

In truth, given Ash's personality, he wasn't worried about how difficult the process would be. The reason for his hesitation was simply that he knew he was just an ordinary person, not so "chosen one."

However, hearing lody's words, Ash thought he was being looked down upon. He quickly stood up and nodded. "Understood. I'll go there right now and take a look!"

But the main reason was that lody was too close. Looking at her delicate face, Ash couldn't help but be reminded of the kiss on the cheek from their first eting when they arrived on the island!

"Don't be in such a hurry," lody advised, contrary to his expectations. "The festival will last until tomorrow. It's fine if you go tomorrow morning. Just relax a bit."

With that, she grabbed Ash and pushed him back down into his seat.

However, once that impetuous kid Ash had made a decision, it was hard to change it. He completely ignored lody's good intentions.

He broke free from her arm, stood up again, and said with great determination, "What can be done today should be done today! That is my—no, that is the principle that this humble one has always followed!"

Natsui: ...

Misty: ...

Tracey: ...

This humble one!?

Ash's words left the group speechless. His pretentious self-address, in particular, was jaw-dropping.

Look at that, is this still the sa hopelessly dense Ash we know?

To say sothing like that, he must be completely smitten, head over heels!

However, Ash's sudden burst of passion seed to stun lody, and at the sa ti, it resonated with i who was nearby.

"Alright, I support you!" i smiled and walked up to Ash, patting her chest. "In that case, let take you to the nearest island, Fire Island, in my boat!"

"Thank you so much!" Ash nodded happily, then turned his gaze to Natsui. "Natsui, are you coming too?"

"Sure."

Natsui shrugged nonchalantly. He had nothing better to do here anyway, and being around Ash was clearly the best way to trigger the plot.

Nearby, hearing that Natsui was going, Sabrina and Misty naturally wanted to go along as well. But after a mont's thought, Natsui stopped them.

"Since the journey isn't that far, I think we'll be back soon. Besides, it's already so late, and there won't be much scenery to see. You two should just stay here and wait."

Since he had put it that way, Sabrina and Misty didn't insist and stayed behind in the banquet hall with Tracey.

Grabbing an apple and finishing it in a few bites, Natsui, along with Ash and i, left the hall and returned to the pier.

However, they didn't take one of the Shamouti Island boats, choosing instead to set out again on i's speedboat.

After all, as i put it: no matter how good or fancy other people's boats are, you're always more comfortable using your own things!

Leaving the pier, with the roar of the engine, the speedboat cut through the waves, heading rapidly south.

The night sea breeze blew against their bodies, making them break out in goosebumps.

Even under the boat's lights, the surroundings were extrely dark.

Natsui looked up and saw that there was no moon or any stars in the night sky. The dark clouds, at so point, had once again covered the heavens.

This isn't a good sign...

Sure enough, not long after, the sound of thunder began to rumble in the sky.

BOOM!

After a bright flash of lightning streaked across the sky, a torrential downpour suddenly began.

Raindrops as large as beans poured down on them, forcing Natsui and Ash to take shelter in the small cockpit to avoid getting soaked.

But fortunately, this ti there were no giant waves, which spared them the misery of being tossed about and the risk of capsizing.

Seeing that the rain showed no signs of stopping, Natsui couldn't help but ask, "Miss i, how far are we from Fire Island?"

i thought for a mont. "If you're just talking about a round trip, about half an hour should be enough."

Only half an hour?

Natsui nodded. In terms of distance, it really wasn't too far.

Thud!

Just then, a light thud ca from the bow of the boat, catching Natsui's attention. The boat then shuddered slightly, as if it had hit sothing and then rcilessly run over it.

"Did you guys hear sothing?"

"A sound?" i looked around blankly. "No, all I hear is the rain."

"Yeah, I didn't hear anything strange," Ash said, puzzled. "Natsui, could you have misheard?"

Did I really mishear it?

Although i and Ash hadn't noticed anything, Natsui had a strong feeling that they had just run over sothing, and he thought he had faintly heard a few screams!

However, when he looked back towards where they had just co from, all he could see was darkness, nothing at all.

Sigh, I hope it was just my imagination...

The speedboat continued south, leaving a long wake behind it.

And not long after they had left, a man, a woman, and a owth struggled for a few monts before miserably climbing onto a floating piece of wreckage.

Needless to say, this was the Team Rocket trio that had been relentlessly entangling themselves with Ash!

Looking at their Gyarados submarine, which had been smashed to pieces, Jessie turned her head and began to curse at the speedboat that had caused the accident and left.

"They must be blind! How could they crash into our submarine!"

Jas spat out a mouthful of seawater and said weakly, "What does it matter? The submarine was already leaking anyway and was unusable. If it's broken, it's broken."

"You idiot!" Jessie shouted. "Even if it was broken, it was still a vehicle we worked hard to save up for and assemble! Without it, how are we supposed to get around at sea!"

"You two, stop fighting!" owth extended its sharp claws and gave them a hard scratch, then narrowed its eyes and said in a low voice, "I think the people who just passed were the twerp and his Pikachu. And next to him, I think that man nad Natsui was also standing there!"

"Eh?" Jessie and Jas, their faces covered in scratches, were taken aback. "Those two have t up again? And they're working together? Could it be... that sothing big is about to happen?"
