Chapter 196: The Emperor of the Crystal Tower (Part 2)
When Ash's group approached the Green Grassland, they happened to see strange energy turning the grass and flowers on the ground into crystal.
Ash glanced in the direction where the strange energy was emanating. After confirming the location, he felt quite helpless; he really had to get involved in this matter.
Because he remembered that Professor Hale was a student of Oak and also a good friend of his mother. He had even visited Professor Hale's home to play when he was a child.
Just then, a series of urgent siren sounds rang out. The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jenny riding a three-wheeled motorcycle, rushing toward the nearest Pokémon Center, followed by a news van from a certain TV station.
As the TV reporter began their live broadcast, what was happening on the Green Grassland appeared on television.
Pallet Town, Ash's home.
After seeing the news, Delia anxiously ran to the refrigerator door, cleared away the useless notes on top, and saw a yellowing photograph. In the photo were Oak, Professor Hale and his daughter, as well as herself and Ash.
Delia packed a few things and prepared to leave. "Gardevoir, Jirachi, I'm going to the Professor Oaks Laboratory to find Oak. Do you want to come along?"
Hearing this, Gardevoir and Jirachi followed her.
Inside the Professor Oaks Laboratory, Oak immediately contacted a helicopter after seeing the news.
Meanwhile, Ash's group arrived at the nearest Pokémon Center.
"Hello, Jenny. I am Ash from Pallet Town. This is my identification. May I ask if Oak has arrived yet?" Ash asked after finding Jenny.
After checking Ash's Patrol Officer identification, Jenny realized Ash's true identity and did not hold anything back. "Mr. Ash, Oak is already on his way. Furthermore, the League has dispatched Elite Lance to investigate. Everyone, please, come inside."
"All right."
After Ash's group entered the Pokémon Center, they saw Professor Hale's student. After a brief understanding of the situation, before Ash could take any further action, Oak arrived at the scene.
Inside the Pokémon Center.
Pikachu seemed to sense something and quickly ran toward the door.
Seeing this, Ash didn't even need to activate his Aura to know that his mother and Oak had arrived.
Inside the Crystal Tower.
Ami saw a fleeting image of Delia on the live TV broadcast.
Then she glanced at the two photos placed nearby; one was a photo of her family of three, and the other was of her and her father with Ash and Delia.
"Daddy, I really want a mommy too!" Ami said.
The fake Entei nodded and said softly, "Ami, I will make your wish come true."
After speaking, it ran out of the Crystal Tower.
With every step the fake Entei took, that power capable of crystallizing objects would leak outward.
On the other side, Delia walked into the Pokémon Center, holding Pikachu and Jirachi, with Gardevoir in tow.
Seeing Delia, Eevee rarely left Ash's shoulder and ran over.
"Mom!" Ash happily went to greet her.
It had been over a month since he left, and honestly, he really missed his mom.
"Aunt Delia!" Misty and Brock greeted her.
Delia looked at Ash, and seeing that he was safe and sound, she felt relieved.
"Oh, I'm glad you're here, Ash."
At this moment, Oak walked in after dealing with the TV station people.
He asked, "You should understand the situation by now, right?"
"Yes, I understand. This time, the Unown are using their abilities to cause trouble. Professor Hale must have been taken to an alternate dimension by the Unown inside those ruins. As long as we deal with the Unown, we can resolve this crisis," Ash said.
"Ash, you must protect Ami's safety!" Delia said.
Ash nodded. "Mom, don't worry, I'll be careful."
"It's terrible, Oak, Mr. Ash, the crystallization is getting worse and worse. If we can't solve the problem soon, we'll have to evacuate the safety zone," Jenny ran in hurriedly.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and hurriedly ran outside.
As soon as they stepped outside, Ash sensed something coming toward their location.
"Pika-pi, Pika-Pikachu!"
Pikachu looked vigilantly in the direction of the Crystal Tower.
Ash frowned slightly. "Pikachu, Gardevoir, prepare to battle."
Before long, an Entei appeared before everyone.
[Pokémon: Entei (Avatar of Desire Energy)]
[Type: Fire + Ghost]
[Gender: Genderless]
[Level: Secondary God]
[Ability: Pressure, Ghost Body (Non-corporeal, immune to physical damage)]
[Potential:?]
[Moves: Crystallization (The leaking Aura can crystallize unconscious creatures)]
"Entei?!"
Seeing the giant creature before them, everyone's mind went blank.
Everyone knew that Entei was a Fire-type Pokémon, but seeing this one capable of crystallizing objects was simply absurd.
"This isn't the real Entei; it's just a fake created by the Unown," Ash immediately exposed the fake Entei's identity.
"Incredible, the Unown actually possess such miraculous power!" Oak exclaimed.
"Professor, now is not the time to be amazed!" Misty said, somewhat speechless.
Delia walked in front of Ash and demanded of Entei, "Who are you? How is Ami?"
"Mom, you are Mom!"
Hmm... This fake Entei misunderstood what Ami said and directly mistook Delia for Ami's mother.
Its pupils suddenly turned a strange red. "From now on, you are..."
"Gardevoir, use Psychic," Ash shouted.
As Gardevoir unleashed Psychic, the fake Entei's hypnosis move was forcibly interrupted.
"Hm?!" The fake Entei didn't expect anyone to resist it.
Its eyes gradually became fierce.
"What are you looking at? Do you believe I'll beat you up later?" Ash said with an unfriendly gaze.
Good grief, do you take me for that idiot from the original story?
Want to steal my mom in public? If you're looking for a beating, just say so. He would release Mewtwo immediately, then use Mega Evolution to crush you with Psychic.
"Human, you are courting death!"
With a roar from the fake Entei, sharp crystal pillars erupted from the ground.
"Pikachu, use Iron Tail."
"Pika~"
Pikachu ran forward, its tail glowing brilliantly. A two-meter-long white energy tail, like a sickle, rushed forward and slashed through the protruding crystal pillars as if cutting vegetables.
