162. Coastline Gym
So I did say that for each 150 Power Stones we reached, I would post an extra chapters. So here you go.
————————————————————
The incident in the Water City of Alto Mare was finally over. The Eon Pokémon's created a new Soul Dew to replace the old broken one, and Ash himself placed it back to where it belongs, the Secret Garden.
The sea water returned to the canal like its usual form, and the defensive facilities in the city were gradually removed. Before the sun came up, everything became calm again as if nothing ever happened here.
Ash was also ready to say goodbye to Lugia, and Silver seemed reluctant to leave his arms. Ash could only smile and said, "Go ahead for now and come find me when you grow up!"
Hearing this, Silver became very happy. He then got ready to fly away with his mother.
Just as Lugia was take off, she created a mind connection with him.
'Ash, you know what's happening inside of your soul, right?' She questioned. She almost sounded a little anxious about this.
Ash smiled and thought his answer to Lugia, 'I know. I will go there soon and meet her.'
Hearing this, Lugia showed a relaxed smile and then flew off with Silver.
Latios also had to follow his tribe back to their settlement. Although his life was rescued by his companions, it will still take a long time to recover his life energy and his strength.
"Relax and recover for now, don't show off like this in the future!" Ash patted Latios's neck gently, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Latios while you are not here with her!"
Now that Latias has been subdued by him, Ash will definitely not to release Latias so easily. In addition, Latios needs to recuperate now, so it is better to let Ash take care of Latias for a while, travel and train with Ash Zhi will definitely make her grow stronger for any future fights.
As Ash said before, he and Latios get along very well.
As early as when it was preparing to face the tsunami, he decided to entrust Latias in the care of Ash. Now this is really the most perfect thing he could do for his little sister.
Latios nodded, called out to his sister, and disappeared behind the clouds with the rest of their companions.
"La!"
Latias said goodbye to her brother, suddenly cheered and flew around Ash, and then transformed into Bianca, looking very happy.
Molly hugged her waist and said with a smile, "Latias, now we can travel together!"
The number of traveling companions has increased again, so now it's time to hit the road.
They have to return to New Bark Town to register for the Silver Conference and confirm Ash's participation.
In order to thank Ash and his group for their contribution, Lorenzo personally set up a boat to take them back to the dock in the Johto Region, near Azalea Town. As long as they walked a short distance along the coastline, they could go to their next destination.
This was obviously the best route for them. Ash immediately threw out Lapras's Poké Ball and trained him to use a new move, Blizzard!
After leaving the island of Alto Mare, Ash once again exchanged his Pokémon around him.
In addition to Pikachu and the new Latias, there are only a few young Pokémon around now, namely Lapras, Phanpy, Tyrouge and Dratini!
After Lapras came out, Molly and Latias sat on Lapras hand in hand. Molly finally has a playmate now, even if Latias turns into a girl who is much older then her, her mind is similar to Molly as they were born around the same time, with Latias being a year younger, she is also very happy to find someone to play with.
As long as they doesn't go too far, Ash won't care about the trouble the make, and since Latias can fly freely in the water and air, she can protect Molly from getting hurt, so he now feels more relieved than ever before.
"Lapras, that's right, feel the Ice-type cold energy in your body, and then spit it out in one breath!" Ash has now become an excellent Trainer when it comes to ordering and training his Pokémon's simultaneously.
His System also sell different teaching methods for many different moves and skills. So especially now, it's much more easy to teach Lapras an attack of his own type.
CRASH!
Unexpectedly, just when Lapras had used a perfect Blizzard, Dratini wrapped around Ash's neck suddenly spit out a mini Blizzard, freezing Brock who was beside him.
"Wow, Dratini is so awesome, she learned Blizzard so quickly!" Molly clapped her hands, while Latias used her Psywave to unfreeze Brock.
"Achoo!" Brock was shivering from the cold and looked at Ash and Dratini pitifully.
"Huh?" The group of people, who were being noisy and laughing out loud, they suddenly saw a large poster.
"Is there a Pokémon synchronized water ballet show ahead?" Molly pulled Latias and read out the above content, "Big Brother, shall we go to the ballet show and see it out?"
"Pokémon synchronized water ballet show?" Brock was already excited when he saw the name, "There must be many beautiful girls in beautiful swimsuits, dancing in the water ballet show with their Pokémon!"
"I must go see this!" Brock cheered and left everyone behind!
Everyone quickly followed him and arrived at a performance venue that looked well built, but there seemed to be no one there currently.
It was almost like this thing was closed up or something like that.
"The Pokémon synchronized water ballet show sounds very similar to the one my sisters do at the Cerulean City Gym!" Latias and Misty sat next to Ash, and Molly liked to lie on top of him.
Misty's three sisters, who are water ballet performers, almost turned the Cerulean City Gym into a performance aquarium, which made the young Misty back then very angry.
However, the three of them were originally interested in water ballet dancing instead of being Pokémon Trainers, but because they wanted to support Misty's dream of becoming a Water-type Pokémon Master, she had to travel around, so the three of them have been serving as the temporary Gym Leaders.
From Ash's perspective, although they always say that Misty is the most useless sister, they actually do love Misty very much.
Then just as Brock was looking forward to it, Mantine, Qwilfish, and Lanturn started performing one after another.
"That's right, that's right, then there are the going to be beautiful girls in swimsuits soon!" Brock's expression made Ash and the rest almost embarrassed to sit next to him.
But as Sun Tzu once said, "The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment."
Then what emerged from the water was a pair of men's legs instead of the women legs Brock wanted to see!
That's right, the performer of this water ballet is a man instead of a women!
At the end of the performance, because there was no one else there, the performer approached Ash and his team to ask about their experience, "What did you think of our show?"
"Very good, you and your Pokémon worked very harmoniously!" Ash said frankly from what he saw.
"Excuse me, but do you perform all the performances alone?" From the performance just now, Misty clearly saw the shadow of her three sisters. This performance was based on the movements of her three sisters!
"Yes, I also work as the Gym Leader here!"
"Is this place a Gym?" Molly came out and asked curiously.
"This is the Coastline Gym, and I am the Gym Leader, Dorian! Why don't I be you guys guide here!"
Dorian led everyone from the Gym to the bottom of the sea. Unexpectedly, the real Coastline Gym was built on the bottom of the seabed, and there were only ballet performances on the actual water.
Not only that, they also saw a photo of the three Cerulean sisters with this guy.
"So you guys know about the Cerulean City Gym Leaders?" Dorian turned around and asked in confusion when Ash and his group recognized the three Cerulean sisters.
"Yes!" The group nodded, "Dorian, how do you know about Cerulean City Gym Leaders?"
"Because that's the Gym I long for!" Dorian replied with a smile, "I like Water-type Pokémon the most, and I hope that one day in the future this Coastline Gym I built can be like the Cerulean City Gym."
That's why Dorian followed the example of the three Cerulean sisters and did water ballet in his Gym.
However, this was a male, which made Brock a little disappointed.
"But my Gym here is just a Private Gym for now!" Dorian admitted openly.
In the Pokémon Alliance, Gyms are divided into Official Gyms and Private Gyms.
To participate in the Alliance Conference, one must need to obtain the Gym Badge's from the Official Gyms. Badges from Private Gyms are not recognized by the Alliance, but they can be collected because they are beautifully made and have great collection value.
