Chapter 117 Dr
After Meowth, Jessie, and the other two completed a thorough inspection and confirmed that the airship could safely reach Daikan Island, Ash's group cautiously boarded.
After a two-and-a-half-hour flight, Ash and his companions managed to safely arrive at Daikan Island, but the airship was damaged upon landing, breaking into two sections and scattering a pile of parts.
Looking at the scattered parts, the Team Rocket Trio secretly celebrated their escape, but then worried about how to explain the airship's destruction to Giovanni, as they had just been transferred to the airship department and the ship was destroyed on their first mission.
"Sunshine, beaches, bikini beauties~~~" Brock stared wide-eyed at the beautiful women playing in the sea in the distance.
"Alright, alright, you've seen enough, it's time to get down to business."
Misty reached out and accurately pinched Brock's ear, pulling him forward.
"It's not too late to go to the beach after we get the GS Ball. Professor Oak gave us two months, and any expenses within these two months in the Orange Islands will be covered by the Research Institute."
Regarding the GS Ball, Ash knew its biggest purpose was to capture the special mythical Pokémon Celebi. Its materials were the feathers of Ho-Oh and Lugia, which could counteract Celebi's time-traveling ability and also reduce the chance of spacetime ripples.
Ash wasn't very clear about who made this GS Ball. Anyway, this thing was a plot hole that was never really filled in the main series for over twenty years.
However, in a certain special chapter, Ash remembered that it seemed to have been created by Pryce, with the purpose of capturing Celebi and opening a time portal to retrieve his two Lapras.
"So, this counts as a public-funded trip for us, right?" Misty said.
Brock swallowed and said, "Is it not good to play for two months? After all, we're spending Professor Oak's research funds."
"Relax, relax, Professor Oak's research funds are never fully used each year. Besides, a trip won't cost much."
Ash didn't know if Brock would leave the team, but he was already prepared to play for two months, as freebies were always good.
As for the Silver Conference, he wasn't in a hurry. With his strength, collecting gym badge was an easy task.
"Then, Ash, do you know where Profesor Ivy's Research Institute is?" Misty was already eager to enter vacation mode.
Ash pointed to a white two-story villa at the end of a small path: "That detached villa over there is it."
Misty and Brock looked at the luxurious villa and sighed, "As expected of someone in academic research, even her living place is truly luxurious."
A few minutes later, the group entered Professor Ivy's Lab.
Seeing the main door open but no one in sight, Misty called out, "Excuse me, is anyone here?"
The next second, the floor Pikachu was standing on was suddenly pushed open from below, and the unprepared Pikachu fell heavily.
Then, three girls who looked very similar to Nobita from next door poked their heads out from below, "Are you guests? How can we help you?"
Ash said, "Excuse me for disturbing, but where is Profesor Ivy? We are here to pick something up."
"Oh, you're the people Professor Oak called! She's in the bay behind taking care of the Pokémon! We'll show you the way."
The three girls proactively offered to lead Ash's group.
Led by the three, Ash's group found Profesor Ivy, who was taking care of Gyarados.
"Professor, the people Professor Oak sent have arrived!" The three girls shouted loudly to Profesor Ivy in the sea.
Profesor Ivy looked over at the sound and, upon seeing that it was Ash, rode her Gyarados back.
"Ash, you've finally decided to visit my Research Institute!" Profesor Ivy found Ash as soon as she came ashore.
Profesor Ivy, wearing a very sexy swimsuit, made Brock's face flush and his heart pound.
"Profesor Ivy, I'm here to pick something up at Professor Oak's request."
Ash's previous research and Profesor Ivy's research direction were different, but their relationship was quite good. After all, they were both famous young professors in the Alliance with strong potential.
Furthermore, with Professor Oak as an intermediary, Professor Oak's Laboratory and Professor Ivy's Lab also had project collaborations, so it would be strange if their relationship wasn't good.
Profesor Ivy actually wanted to recruit Ash to her Research Institute, so she had invited him to visit many times, but Ash kept declining.
"We can talk about the item later. Since you've finally come to visit, I must properly host you."
Saying that, Profesor Ivy dragged Ash to tour her Research Institute.
Profesor Ivy's actions made Misty and Brock feel depressed; they always felt like they were superfluous, and Profesor Ivy's three assistants had the same expression as them at this moment.
Two hours later, Ash, dragging his tired body, followed Profesor Ivy to the device where the GS Ball was stored.
"Wow, a special Poké Ball made of gold and silver!" Misty exclaimed.
"I've never seen this type of Poké Ball before. It looks even more high-end than the Master Ball Ash has," Brock was also very surprised by the GS Ball.
This was truly an eye-opener for him.
Ash, on the other hand, sensed the Auras of Lugia and Ho-Oh from the Aura emitted by the GS Ball.
"It's incredible, isn't it! I got this from an underwater ruin that is at least a thousand years old," Profesor Ivy said.
"A thousand years old? That doesn't sound right. I remember that the true Poké Ball is less than fifty years old, and the craftsmanship of this ball looks similar to modern Poké Balls," Brock said, stroking his chin.
The most basic red and white Poké Ball is only thirty years old, and the original Poké Ball still required manual twisting to use. (Refer to the Poké Ball used by Professor Oak in his youth for details.)
"Things related to Pokémon cannot really be analyzed from a normal perspective. There are too many Pokémon in this world that we humans don't understand. Their abilities are bizarre, and there might even be beings that can freely travel through time."
Ash revealed a little information to them.
"Travel through time? Ash, do you mean that this mysterious Poké Ball might have been brought from the future to the past by a Pokémon?" Profesor Ivy guessed.
"Perhaps."
As for time travel, for now, Professor Oak has the most authority to speak on such matters.
"Never mind, I've done all the experiments I can, and I still can't figure out this ball. I'll hand it over to Professor Oak for research. He was involved in the improvement of Poké Balls before."
Even with Ash's hints, Profesor Ivy didn't intend to continue struggling with the GS Ball. This thing was not her strong suit.
She took the GS Ball from the machine and handed it to Ash: "Ash, I'm entrusting this to you."
"Mmm, I'll try to give it to Professor Oak as soon as possible."
Ash put away the GS Ball.
Indeed, "try," after all, there were still two months of vacation time left.
