Chapter 159:
Lightning ran rampant, apocalyptic bolts shooting straight up through the hall’s ceiling, startling w, who was hiding above.
The lightning pierced the sky, blasting through the gloom and even calming the surrounding storms.
w quickly enveloped the humans it had just rescued in protective bubbles to protect them from the lightning.
It decided this "ga" wasn’t fun at all.
And it seed wtwo had only dragged it here to help save people, without letting anyone else notice.
Back in the hall, the overflowing electricity scattered like chaotic neon lights, one bolt accidentally striking Salance.
Instantly, the once mighty Salance was charred black and lay motionless on the ground.
Witnessing this, wtwo found it even more unbelievable.
What kind of power was this?
How could Pikachu’s strength increase so dramatically in an instant?
No way...
The Trainer broke through my restraints... and now this Pikachu one-shots a peak Elite Four-level Salance?
Seeing the lightning everywhere, wtwo felt that even it would be injured if struck?
This was incredible...
Was this the power of bonds?
wtwo suddenly recalled a term often heard during its travels. So Trainers loved to chant it, shouting about "our bond" while sending their Pokémon into battle.
Under such cheers, a Pokémon’s strength would increase, but the boost was usually manageable.
Nothing like this—breaking through to such a level instantly?
Dodging a lightning bolt casually, wtwo couldn’t help but think of Hayashi Kaede again.
Did this Pikachu’s Trainer possess the sa power as him?
Below, Pikachu cried helplessly, tears streaming down its cheeks. It held the hat like a child, feeling as if its world had collapsed.
Amidst these sobs, the lightning gradually faded.
Ash’s other Pokémon, seeing this, also shed sad tears. Unable to bear watching Pikachu like this, they lowered their heads.
But the next mont, Bubbles began to drift down from the ceiling Pikachu had shattered. Inside the bubbles were the humans who had seemingly been obliterated earlier, including the chubby Trainer.
Everyone was stunned.
wtwo also paused because, in its "ga," it wasn’t ti for w to release these humans yet.
As the bubbles descended, the "bubble" containing Ash, who should have vanished, finally landed before Pikachu.
Then, w slowly floated down.
"Pika?"
Pikachu looked at the hat, then at Ash before it. Tears flowed even more fiercely as it stared bewildered at the bubble.
w looked at Pikachu with a pained expression. "w!" (Stop crying. Your Trainer is fine; he’s just asleep.)
It couldn’t bear to watch Pikachu’s tears from above anymore, so it released Ash in advance, cutting the "ga" short.
It poked the bubble, which imdiately popped. Ash, who had been sleeping peacefully inside, slowly opened his eyes, holding his head as if it ached. "Pikachu?"
Ash’s mory was still stuck at the mont he had shielded Pikachu.
But when he looked around and saw Salance defeated, he exclaid in surprise, "You beat Salance?"
"Pika?!"
But Pikachu, overwheld with emotion upon seeing Ash’s joyful expression, couldn’t speak. In the end, it could only give him a Thunder Shock to prove it had indeed defeated Salance.
Even though it itself didn’t know how it had managed it.
"Ahhh, I’m... paralyzed..."
With Ash’s cry of "paralyzed," Pikachu finally wiped its tears, smiled, and leaped into his arms.
Above, seeing Pikachu’s aura rapidly diminishing again, wtwo began communicating with Dragonite psychically.
w flew to its side, giving wtwo a look that said "you’re so boring." "w!" (Not fun at all...)
It found no enjoynt in this ga whatsoever.
It was less fun than playing "hide and seek" at Hayashi Kaede’s place.
And it almost got electrocuted.
wtwo replied calmly, "Then we won’t play anymore."
The "ga" had reached a point where it had made its own decision.
Hayashi Kaede was right.
If humans and Pokémon could coexist in this way, there must be a reason for it.
wtwo recalled the fainted Salance. Looking at the remaining Trainers still watching it with fear, its eyes flickered slightly. Psychic power surged, and within a minute, all the Trainers and their Pokémon slumped to the ground, dazed.
It erased the mories of all humans and Pokémon except Pikachu and its Trainer.
It then summoned the injured Golduck, Charizard, and Gyarados and turned to w. "Help heal them."
"w?"
w’s eyes widened in disbelief at wtwo.
Seriously? Treating it like cheap labor?
But seeing the severe injuries of the three Pokémon, and rembering it still needed to go to Hayashi Kaede’s place with wtwo, it still cast Heal Pulse on them.
At its level of power, Heal Pulse rapidly restored the three Pokémon’s injuries.
Once they were fully healed, wtwo recalled them and placed them next to the chubby Trainer and Ash.
Just then, Dragonite flew over carrying a bag. Seeing the ssy hall, it smiled because it knew wtwo had finished its task, and it could soon return to the breeding house.
"Alright, Dragonite, now I need you to take them all back."
Dragonite nodded, grabbing one person in each hand, and swiftly flew toward the human settlents.
Seeing the "ga" seed to be over, w shyly looked at wtwo. "w?" (Are you going to the breeding house?)
wtwo: "Yes, I need to return Dragonite."
"w~!" (Then take with you~!)
"Huh? You can go whenever you want. Why do you need to take you?" wtwo looked strangely at w.
It could tell Hayashi Kaede quite liked w. Otherwise, with Hayashi Kaede’s insight, he should have seen through w’s identity long ago.
But Hayashi Kaede hadn’t exposed it; instead, he played along with that "hide and seek" ga.
This already showed Hayashi Kaede accepted it.
"..."
w fell silent.
Pouting.
It didn’t know how to explain to wtwo that it felt it had fallen out with Hayashi Kaede...
