Chapter 197: The Emperor of the Crystal Tower (Part 2)
Seeing the fake Entei getting serious, Ash took down the Master Ball containing Mewtwo, "Mom, Misty, Dr. Oak, you all go into the Pokémon Center first. Leave this to me."
"Ash, be careful. If you can't handle it, don't push yourself," Delia said with some worry.
"Don't worry, Mom. I know what I'm doing," Ash nodded, then pressed the switch on the Master Ball in his hand.
"Mewtwo, beat it up!"
Hearing this, Mewtwo flashed and appeared beside the fake Entei, kicking it several meters away.
After kicking it, Mewtwo said to Ash: "Ash, it is not a living creature."
"Yeah, it is an incarnation of human desire energy. What we need to do now is beat it up hard, so that the person who created it can see it and call it back."
Ash knew that as long as Ami's inner desires did not dissipate, the power of the Unown would not be interrupted, and the Entei before them would be an immortal existence.
"Okay."
After Mewtwo understood Ash's idea, it didn't even need Ash's command and started attacking directly.
Pikachu and Gardevoir were on the side, helping out and slacking off to gain experience.
The battle between Mewtwo and the fake Entei was broadcast on TV without missing a single detail.
Inside the Crystal Tower.
Ami saw the fake Entei being beaten up by Mewtwo and immediately got anxious, "Daddy!"
"Daddy, don't fight, come back quickly!"
She cried while shouting.
The Unown on the ceiling heard Ami's voice, and suddenly their light flared brightly. The fake Entei in the distance saw the light at the top of the Crystal Tower, ignored Mewtwo and the others, and turned to run towards the Crystal Tower.
Seeing this, Mewtwo wanted to chase, but Ash hurriedly shouted: "Mewtwo, that's enough. The goal has been achieved. We will make plans after entering the Crystal Tower later."
Hearing this, Mewtwo stopped its pursuit and flew back to Ash's side.
After confirming that the fake Entei had gone far, Ash returned to the Pokémon Center.
Seeing Ash come in, Dr. Oak praised him greatly: "Ash, I didn't expect you to be able to command Mewtwo so skillfully! That's really amazing."
"It was just a fluke that I could barely command it. By the way, Doctor, I want to enter the Crystal Tower and solve this matter completely," Ash said.
Hearing this, Dr. Oak asked with some surprise: "Oh, Ash, you have already found a solution to the problem? Tell me about it."
"The root cause of the Crystal Tower's appearance is the Unown. I think George must have brought something back from those ruins and sent it to Professor Hale's house."
"Ami accidentally opened some kind of seal from that thing and released the special Unown that had been sealed." Ash explained.
George was the student who sent the message to Professor Hale.
Brock touched his chin and speculated: "In that case, as long as we can wake Ami up and let her recognize what is reality and what is illusion, those Unown will lose the desires they can utilize."
"Brock's guess is not wrong, and I think Professor Hale should not be in life-threatening danger, just trapped in an unknown space by the Unown. Resealing the Unown should be able to save Professor Hale," Ash said.
After a short thought, Dr. Oak finally agreed to Ash's plan: "Okay, since you already have a plan, Ash, then go ahead and do it."
He knew that if this matter continued to escalate, the League would eventually take extreme measures. Once such methods were adopted, let alone Professor Hale who was trapped in the unknown space, I'm afraid even Ami would not be saved.
"But how can we enter that castle?" Misty asked.
Dr. Oak brought up a picture taken from the air and said: "I just looked at this. Crystallization can only affect living things, but flowing water cannot. There is a small river flowing through the manor, and we can approach the manor through this small river."
Dr. Oak paused and reminded: "Ash, if you are going to act, you must be quick. Some people within the League do not have much patience."
"I know, Doctor." Ash nodded.
Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures.
The Pokémon League had already arranged a powerful bulldozer, intending to flatten the crystal.
At first, the bulldozer could indeed destroy those objects that had turned into crystals, but unfortunately, the TV reporter nearby recorded the whole process.
Ami in the Crystal Tower saw this scene and said angrily: "No, I don't allow you to cause destruction!"
As soon as her voice fell, the Unown emitted an infinite power and counterattacked the bulldozer.
In less than ten seconds, the bulldozer turned into a crystal.
At this time, Ash also began to leave a backup plan, "Gardevoir, Jirachi, Eevee, from now on, I will leave Mom's protection to you. Take this, if that guy from just now comes again, let it out to help you."
Saying that, Ash placed the Ancient Dragonite's Pokemon ball into Gardevoir's hand.
After leaving a backup plan, Ash's group set off.
They walked upstream along the small river.
Misty looked at the surroundings of the river that had turned into crystals and sighed: "It's really true that only the river water didn't crystallize～"
Brock took the map and compared it, saying: "If the map is correct, the Snowden mansion is not far ahead."
In the sky, the Team Rocket Trio were riding a hot air balloon, observing Ash and the others' actions.
"Those guys are really working hard, meow!"
"We are Team Rocket, aiming for the universe."
"If we can't walk on the ground, then we'll go through the sky."
Before the three guys could finish sighing, a figure suddenly emerged from the top of the Crystal Tower not far away.
The next second, a dark purple Energy Ball blew them down directly.
However, the luck of these three idiots was also very good. The power brought by the leaking hot air balloon successfully sent them into the Crystal Tower.
At this moment, Ash and the others had already entered the mansion area from the river.
"We have arrived at the place, but how do we get in next?" Misty asked while looking at the crystal cabin in front.
Ash straightforwardly rubbed out a blue Aura Sphere, "Blast our way in. Misty, Brock, you stand back."
"Won't this be too reckless?" Brock had a bad feeling.
"Don't worry, that fake is not Mewtwo's opponent, and those Unown themselves have no attacking ability."
Saying that, Ash threw the Aura Sphere in his hand.
The Aura Sphere hit the crystal cabin and exploded. Most of the cabin collapsed. Ash hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up!"
Misty and Brock followed closely behind Ash and rushed in.
This move indeed alarmed Ami and the fake Entei at the top of the tower.
Ami looked at the fake Entei suspiciously and asked: "What's going on?"
"Ami, don't be afraid. Someone must have broken in. I will go and drive them away now."
The fake Entei knew that it was likely that the person who hindered it just now had come.
After entering the mansion, Ash and the others had just taken a few steps on the stairs, and the steps under their feet turned into a floating state.
"Is this the ability of the Unown? It's so weird!" Misty said.
"Maybe it is." Brock nodded.
"Don't worry, with me here, there won't be any danger."
Ash led the way and ran straight to the only exit above.
However, after they stepped out of the exit, the group came to a weird big grassland.
Brock tightened his coat, "Pink sky? This place is too weird, right?"
"This should be the world created by the Unown based on Ami's heart," Ash explained.
At the same time, the fake Entei took Ami's consciousness and ran towards where Ash was.
"You guys are Pokémon Trainers, right?"
Ami, who was transformed into an adult by the fake Entei, appeared in front of Ash and the others riding Entei.
"The real person is here!" Ash whispered a reminder.
"The real person?"
Misty and Brock immediately realized that the girl behind Entei at this time was Ami, but they soon realized something was wrong.
"Ash, that's not right, isn't Ami a five or six-year-old child? How come..." Brock asked.
"This is formed by the Unown based on what Ami thinks in her heart. It seems that they intend to have a Pokémon battle with us," Ash said.
"It seems you already know what I want to do. Come and battle with me!" Ami said.
"Okay, then let me be your opponent, miss!" Brock stood out and said.
"No problem." Ami nodded in agreement.
"Ash, Misty, leave the rest to you. Leave this to me," Brock whispered.
"Hmm."
Ash was quite confident in Brock's strength, so he took Misty and ran to the next floor.
Before long, they arrived at the next floor.
However, before they could find the entrance to the third floor, Ami and the fake Entei appeared.
"It seems Brock has already lost," Misty said helplessly, "Ash, leave the rest to you."
"Yeah, Misty, be careful."
"Hmm."
After Ash left, Ami covered the whole floor with seawater, created an underwater battle field, and had a Water-type Pokémon battle with Misty.
In order to find Ami earlier, Ash didn't plan to run with his feet, so he flew directly into the sky and headed straight for the room where Ami was.
Before long, he found the sleeping Ami in a large room.
Before Ash could make a move, the fake Entei appeared in front of Ami, and it shouted coldly: "Get out!"
"Hehe, just relying on you, a fake, can't stop me. Mewtwo, leave it to you."
As soon as Ash's voice fell, Mewtwo came out of the Pokémon ball.
Just as the two sides were at daggers drawn, Ami woke up leisurely. She excitedly threw herself on the fake Entei, "Daddy, Pokémon battle is so interesting! Although I lost, I am really happy."
"Ami, do you still remember me?" Ash asked.
Hearing the sound, Ami turned her head to look, and said uncertainly: "You are... Brother Ash?!"
"That's right, long time no see, Ami. I will take you to find your real daddy. Will you leave here with me?" Ash said softly.
"Daddy? But Brother Ash, my daddy is right here!" Ami hugged Entei and said.
"Ami, look around carefully, and then look at this Entei in front of you. Do you really think this is your home and your daddy?"
Ami looked around, still hugging Entei tightly without letting go.
"Everything you see now is manifested by the Unown based on your longing for your daddy. Your daddy is just trapped by the Unown now. As long as you can get rid of the Unown, your daddy will come back soon," Ash continued.
"Brother Ash, is everything you said true? Will my daddy really come back? But Brother George said that my daddy disappeared out of thin air, and he looked for a long time but couldn't find him."
Ami was a little shaken.
"Ami, believe me, your daddy will definitely come back. Things created by fantasy can only satisfy you for a while, but cannot accompany you for a lifetime. You don't want to lose your daddy, do you?"
"But..."
Ami looked at Entei with some reluctance.
The fake Entei was, after all, something Ami imagined in her heart. It could clearly feel the changes in Ami's heart. It said: "Ami, don't worry about me. The meaning of my existence is to make you happy."
"Hmm, thank you, Daddy!"
Ami hugged the fake Entei tightly with tears in her eyes.
As Ami decided to return to reality, the crystallization of the castle began to decrease.
However, after a few seconds, the crystallization began to spread at a faster speed.
"Mewtwo, Pikachu, let's go find the Unown and solve them."
Ash knew that this was because the Unown had absorbed too much desire energy and had begun to lose control. If it wasn't stopped, let alone the whole grassland, even the entire Johto region would be affected.
"Ash (Ash)!"
At this time, Misty, Brock, and the three unlucky guys from Team Rocket all ran up from the passage.
"Brock, Misty, you came just in time. From now on, I will leave Ami to you to take care of. I'm going to solve the Unown."
After speaking, Ash chose the fastest route, directly broke through the wall, and jumped down from the top of the tower with Pikachu and Mewtwo.
If he remembered correctly, the Unown should be in the hall of this castle.
After quickly descending to the first floor, Ash rubbed an Aura Sphere again, blasted a passage, and walked into the castle hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a large number of Unown exerting their abilities.
"Ash, let me Mega Evolve! With my ability, I will definitely be able to clear them up quickly," Mewtwo said.
Ash shook his head: "Clearing them up is not difficult, but it will be hard to save Professor Hale."
He knew that only by sealing these Unown could Professor Hale be released from that different space. If he attacked forcefully and couldn't control the strength, Professor Hale might never come back. He had just promised to take Ami to find her daddy, and he didn't want to be a person who broke his promise.
"Pika Pika?" (Then what should we do?)
Pikachu looked at Ash in confusion.
"Don't worry, I have my own way."
Saying that, Ash muttered the Mew summoning spell in his heart: "Mew, super cute cute cute!"
The next second.
Mew, who was hanging out in the Sinnoh region, heard Ash's voice calling it, and then it was a fixed-point teleportation, appearing directly in front of Ash.
"Ash, what's the matter?"
