Kanto Region, Interpol Office

Amidst the prestigious chambers of the International Police headquarters, a hushed atmosphere reigned. Lance, the eminent Dragon Master and a revered figure among Pokémon trainers and law enforcement agencies alike, sat with a commanding presence behind a polished mahogany desk.

His posture was unwavering, the embodiment of strength and authority. The polished mahogany chair he occupied seemed insignificant against the gravity of his presence. Dressed in his signature attire, a deep blue cape draped over broad shoulders, his piercing gaze was focused on the files that lay before him.

The room was illuminated by the soft glow of antique lamps, casting a warm, golden hue over the intricately designed furnishings and richly adorned walls. Stacks of files, each containing vital information about ongoing missions and clandestine operations, were meticulously organized on his desk.

With a sense of purpose, Lance flipped through the files, his gloved fingers deftly skimming the documents. His brow furrowed slightly as he reviewed reports, each one a testament to his unwavering dedication to preserving peace in the Pokémon world.

The Dragon Master's presence was magnetic, exuding an aura of calm authority and determination. With each file meticulously examined, he was preparing himself for the challenges that lay ahead, unaware of the intricate destinies about to intertwine in a far-off land.

Few months ago....

As Lance meticulously reviewed the files before him, the tranquility of his private chamber was broken by the abrupt arrival of one of his trusted G-Men. The agent entered the room with an air of urgency, and Lance, ever the vigilant commander, looked up, his focused expression giving way to one of attentive curiosity.

"What's the situation?" Lance inquired, his voice a commanding yet composed tone that held an undertone of concern. His gaze fixed intently on the G-Man, ready to address any development that might disrupt the delicate equilibrium of the Pokémon world.

The G-Man, slightly out of breath from haste, began to relay the message he had brought. "Sir, there's been an unexpected development on Cero Island. We've received reports from spies of unusual activity...strange occurrences and disruptions in the local Pokémon habitat. The situation appears to be escalating, we are not able to communicate and we believe it may require your immediate attention."

Lance nodded, his mind swiftly processing the information. Cero Island was known for its serene beauty and rich wildlife, making any disturbance there a matter of grave concern.

"Prepare for a departure to Cero Island," Lance ordered, his tone unwavering. "Gather our best agents, and ensure that our resources are mobilized. I need a comprehensive report on the situation before we can determine the appropriate response."

The G-Man acknowledged the directive with a firm nod and hurried to carry out the Dragon Master's orders. With a sense of duty that had never wavered, Lance prepared to face a new challenge, unaware that this unforeseen development on Cero Island would lead to a series of events that would affect the course of Pokémon history.

Following their departure from the International Police headquarters, Lance and his team of elite agents embarked on a journey towards Cero Island. The island, known for its picturesque landscapes and diverse Pokémon habitats, had become the focal point of mysterious and disruptive events.

The trip, characterized by a sense of urgency and determination, was conducted swiftly and efficiently. Lance, in the lead, held an air of unwavering resolve, his Dragonite at his side, ready for any challenges that lay ahead. The G-Men, handpicked for their expertise and loyalty, followed closely behind, each prepared for the unexpected.

Kanto Region, Cero Island

As they approached Cero Island, the signs of disruption became evident. The once tranquil surroundings were marred by anomalies-a clash of different weather patterns, wild Pokémon behaving erratically, and distorted environmental phenomena. It was as if the island itself was in turmoil.

As Lance and his team delved deeper into the lush landscapes of Cero Island, they realized that the island was completely uninhabited. There were no signs of human presence, no villages, and no local population to be found. This uninhabited status added an additional layer of mystery to the disturbances they were encountering.

The absence of human inhabitants left the team with a perplexing question: What could be causing the disruptions on this remote and seemingly desolate island?

Their expedition continued with a sense of intrigue and curiosity. They ventured further into the island's dangerous wilderness, determined to uncover the source of the unusual events and disturbances, as well as to restore the island's tranquil natural state.

As Lance and his team ventured deeper into the heart of Cero Island, their explorations led them to a place that bore the unmistakable mark of human presence-an abandoned building that had long been neglected by time and nature's reclamation. The structure stood as a testament to a bygone era, weathered and overgrown by the lush vegetation of the island.

The discovery of this seemingly abandoned building piqued the team's interest. It was not merely an ordinary structure but, to their astonishment, appeared to be an old hideout of none other than Team Rocket. The remnants of the nefarious organization's signature "R" symbol were still faintly visible on the building's decaying façade.

Lance and his team approached the hideout with caution. They knew that Team Rocket was notorious for their clandestine operations and their willingness to exploit the Pokémon world's resources for their nefarious plans.

As they entered the long-forgotten hideout, the air was thick with the musty scent of abandonment, and shadows danced ominously in the dimly lit interior. Lance's Dragonite stayed by his side, vigilant and ready for whatever they might encounter.

Inside, they discovered old documents, faded maps, and remnants of failed experiments. It became clear that Team Rocket had been using the island for their own purposes, and it was these actions that had led to the disturbances and disruptions that had alarmed Lance and his team.

With each piece of evidence they uncovered, a clearer picture emerged of the sinister activities that had taken place on Cero Island. The abandoned building, once Team Rocket's covert hideout, had now become the key to unraveling the mystery and putting an end to the disturbances that threatened the island's peace.

Lance and his team had been diligently scouring the abandoned Team Rocket hideout on Cero Island, piecing together the puzzle of the disturbances that had plagued the once-peaceful environment. Just as they were preparing to move out, their footsteps disturbed something beneath a layer of dust, revealing a chilling sight-an ominous trail of blood, as if something terrible had transpired within the hideout.

The Dragon Master's senses were on high alert. He followed the trail of blood, which led him to a shadowy corner of the hideout. There, bathed in dim, eerie light, stood a man-Admin Archer laying Lance's spies dead bodies. His presence was unexpected and sent shivers down the spines of Lance and his team.



Admin Archer was a high-ranking operative of Team Rocket, known for his cunning and ruthlessness. He wore the unmistakable uniform of the organization, a black ensemble adorned with the infamous red "R." His smirk was as malevolent as the tales that had circulated about him.

"Dragon Master Lance," Archer said with a sinister chuckle, "I must admit, your timing is impeccable. You've stumbled upon my little operation here, but it's too late to stop what's already in motion."

Lance maintained his composure, his hand instinctively moving to the Poké Ball at his belt. He knew that confronting Proton was a dangerous endeavor, but he had a duty to protect Cero Island and its fragile ecosystem.

"What have you done to this island, Archer?" Lance demanded, his voice laced with a steely resolve.

Archer's smirk widened. "Oh, Dragon Master, you're in for a surprise. Let's just say that Team Rocket has discovered something extraordinary on this island, something that will make us more powerful than ever before. And now that you've seen too much, well, we can't have loose ends, can we?"

With a sudden and nefarious grin, Archer sent out a Pokémon, a fearsome Drapion that stood ready for battle. The tension in the hideout was palpable, and the clash of wills between Lance and Proton was about to ignite into a fierce battle.



Amidst the eerie silence of the abandoned hideout on Cero Island, the battle between Dragonite and Drapion commenced with a commanding presence from both sides.

Lance, his voice filled with authority, called out to his loyal companion, "Dragonite, let's show them our strength!" With a confident flourish of his arm, he released Dragonite from its Poke Ball. The majestic Dragon-type Pokémon materialized in a flash of light, its presence in the room exuding an air of calm confidence.



"Start with Dragon Claw!" Lance commanded, his bond with Dragonite evident in the unwavering trust that flowed between them.

Dragonite's response was immediate. With a powerful roar, it lunged forward, its claws bathed in an azure aura, aiming to strike Drapion with unparalleled force. The room quivered as the attack tore through the air, a testament to Dragonite's dominance.

Admin Archer "Drapion, swift evasion!" With a flicker of reflexes that could only be honed through countless battles, Drapion contorted its body, narrowly avoiding the formidable Dragon Claw.

Archer knew that this battle was not going to be an easy victory, and the stakes were higher than ever. The room's shadows danced as Dragonite's elemental energy left its mark on the surroundings.

"Drapion, show them your Cross Poison!" Archer commanded, his voice oozing with the confidence of a seasoned operative.

In response, Drapion sprang into action, its tail adorned with a poisonous barb. A burst of purplish venom was released, slicing through the air, aimed directly at Dragonite. The attack was swift, seeking to deliver a toxic blow to Lance's loyal Pokémon.

However, Dragonite was a master of resilience and evasion. With agile grace, it twisted its body, dodging the toxic attack just in the nick of time.

The battle had begun with a crescendo of power and precision, and both trainers were fully aware that every move, every decision counted. The room was now a battleground, and the two powerful Pokémon were ready to unleash their full potential in a clash of elemental might.

[Time skip]

As the battle between Dragonite and Drapion raged on, Lance's experience as a Dragon Master became increasingly evident. With every move and countermove, he skillfully gauged Drapion's abilities and Archer's tactics. He also noticed a growing sense of overconfidence in Archer's demeanor.

Lance, with his unwavering determination, called out another command, "Dragonite, let's go with Thunder Punch!" His bond with his Pokémon was evident in the precision of his instructions.

With a flash of electricity enveloping its massive fist, Dragonite lunged forward. The electrified punch crackled through the air, aimed at Drapion. The formidable attack was executed with pinpoint accuracy, making it difficult for the agile Drapion to evade.

Archer, though caught off guard, was not one to be underestimated. He quickly assessed the situation and issued a command, "Drapion, Iron Defense!"

In a swift and calculated move, Drapion's body hardened, its exoskeleton becoming as tough as steel. The electrified Thunder Punch struck, but the Iron Defense absorbed much of the impact, lessening the damage to Drapion.

Dragonite, undeterred by the defense, quickly distanced itself from Drapion, preparing for its next move.

Archer, recognizing the need to take control of the battle, ordered, "Drapion, use Crunch!"

Drapion, its jaws snapping with incredible force, lunged forward at Dragonite. The Crunch attack was notorious for its power and bite force, and it was unleashed with the intention to grasp Dragonite and deal significant damage.

Lance watched with intensity, ready to react to the situation. Dragonite, responding to its trainer's trust, skillfully maneuvered. With a burst of agility, it evaded Drapion's Crunch attack, narrowly missing the venomous jaws.

The room echoed with the roars and cries of the battling Pokémon. It was a showdown of strength, strategy, and the unbreakable bond between trainer and Pokémon.

"Drapion, use Toxic!" Archer commanded, a gleam of determination in his eyes.

Drapion's stinger glistened with a toxic gleam as it launched a volley of poisonous darts toward Dragonite. Lance, quick to react, called out, "Dragonite, use Thunder Wave to disrupt the attack!"

With agility and precision, Dragonite released a powerful Thunder Wave, creating an electromagnetic shockwave that intercepted the toxic darts. The darts fizzled out harmlessly, their intended poison attack thwarted.

Archer's overconfidence was becoming increasingly apparent. "Drapion, finish this with Venoshock!" he declared, his voice dripping with arrogance.

But Dragonite was one step ahead. With a flash of brilliance, it unleashed an Ice Beam, freezing the venomous attack mid-air and then shattering it into harmless ice crystals.

Lance seized the moment. "Now, Dragonite, finish this with Outrage!"

Dragonite's eyes blazed with fury and power as it entered a state of uncontrollable rage. With incredible speed and force, it struck Drapion with a relentless barrage of Dragon-type attacks. Drapion had no chance to defend itself adequately. The ferocity of Dragonite's Outrage overwhelmed Drapion, leaving it battered and defeated.

Archer, his overconfidence shattered by the Dragonite's fury, recalled his fallen Drapion. His expression had transformed from arrogance to astonishment.

Lance, seizing the opportunity, approached Archer and swiftly apprehended him. With Archer now captured and the threat neutralized, the abandoned hideout on Cero Island fell into a tense silence. The room bore the marks of an intense battle, and the remnants of Team Rocket's presence now lay in shambles.

The Dragon Master had triumphed, not only over Archer but also over the arrogance and overreach of Team Rocket's operatives. As they left the hideout, a new phase of the mission to uncover its mysteries began.

Kanto Region, Interpol Office

After capturing Archer in the abandoned hideout on Cero Island, Lance wasted no time in securing the high-ranking Team Rocket operative. With Archer now in his custody, he knew that it was essential to gather information about Team Rocket's operations and the purpose behind their intrusion on the island.

Lance contacted the international police to arrange for Archer's transportation to their headquarters. A team from Interpol soon arrived to take custody of the captured criminal. They carefully restrained Archer, ensuring that he posed no immediate threat during transport.

The Dragon Master, known for his unwavering commitment to the preservation of the Pokémon world, had a duty to uncover the truth about Team Rocket's activities on Cero Island. He accompanied the Interpol team, intending to be present during Archer's interrogation.

At the Interpol headquarters, a specially designated interrogation room had been prepared. Archer, now seated and surrounded by Interpol agents, had lost the air of overconfidence that had defined him during the battle. He knew that he was facing serious charges and that he had valuable information to share.

Lance took a seat at the head of the table, his presence a reminder of the powerful forces aligned against Team Rocket. The interrogation was about to begin, and the questions Lance would ask held the key to unraveling the mystery of Cero Island and Team Rocket's plans.

The room was filled with an air of anticipation as the Dragon Master prepared to interrogate Archer and extract the critical information needed to safeguard for upcoming crisis.

Inside The Interrogation Room

As the interrogation began, Archer remained defiantly loyal to Team Rocket, revealing only a single word - "Ishara." He seemed determined to protect the organization's secrets at any cost.

Lance, recognizing the gravity of the situation, pressed for more information. "What is Ishara, and why is Team Rocket interested in it? You must understand the consequences of your actions on Cero Island. What are you trying to achieve?"

Archer's expression remained stoic, his lips tightly sealed. But Lance was no ordinary trainer; he was a Dragon Master known for his dedication to the well-being of the Pokémon world. He was aware that Archer's silence was a reflection of the dire importance of the information he was hiding.

In a desperate move, Archer's demeanor shifted. With a sly and calculating grin, he surreptitiously reached for a concealed capsule hidden in his mouth - the poison capsule that Team Rocket operatives used to avoid capture.

Before anyone could react, Archer bit down on the capsule, releasing a toxic substance into his system. The room filled with urgency as Interpol agents and medical personnel rushed to administer aid, but it was too late.

Archer's defiance had taken a deadly turn. He had chosen to take his secrets to the grave rather than risk revealing Team Rocket's sinister plans. The single word "Ishara" was all that he left behind, a cryptic clue that would lead Lance and the international police on a new quest to uncover the truth behind Team Rocket's interest in the mysterious island.

The room was now a somber place, filled with unanswered questions and the weight of a sacrifice made in the name of loyalty to a shadowy organization. The mission to protect the Pokémon world had taken a dark and ominous turn, and the path ahead was fraught with challenges and dangers.

Next Day

Lance sat alone in his office, poring over the information he had gathered from Archer's cryptic message.

"Ishara...."

The single word that had echoed through the interrogation room now weighed heavily on the Dragon Master's mind. The room was bathed in the soft morning light filtering through the window, casting long shadows over the stacks of research documents scattered across his desk. The soft hum of the air conditioning was the only sound breaking the silence of the room.

As he continued his investigation, a realization slowly took hold. It was an epiphany that sent a shiver down his spine. Cero Island, where Archer had conducted Team Rocket's operations, was meant to be the place to supply resources for Team Rocket's raid on the forbidden island Archer had mentioned.

Lance understood the gravity of the situation. Team Rocket was going to invade Ishara, jeopardizing its pristine ecosystem and the rare and undiscovered Pokémon species that called it home. The sanctuary of Ishara was now under threat, and it was clear that Team Rocket's interest went far beyond what met the eye.

A short while after, Red and Blue arrived at Lance's office, their expressions a mix of determination and readiness. The elite trainers had responded swiftly to the call for assistance, well aware of the importance of the situation.



Lance, seated behind his desk, rose to greet them. "Red, Blue, thank you for coming on such short notice. I'll cut to the chase. Team Rocket has targeted Ishara Island, which is also known as the forbidden island. They've been conducting operations on the island, putting its unique Pokémon ecosystem in danger.I am sending you two for investigation on the island."

Red and Blue"Yes sir."

Pallet town, Kanto

As Ash and Gary entered the familiar surroundings of Professor Oak's lab, they were greeted by the professor himself, who had a warm smile on his face. He seemed to be in good spirits.

"Ah, Ash, Gary, welcome back! I saw your battle, and it was quite the spectacle" Professor Oak said with a chuckle. "But that's not the reason I called you here today. I have an important request for you, Ash."

Ash raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What's going on, Professor? You know I'm always up for a new adventure."

Professor Oak's expression became more serious as he continued, "I've been conducting some research about region's different phonamenos like mega evolution, z rings , which you both are know. I heard a different Phenomenon from a island called Ishara. It's a place filled with mysteries and powerful Pokemos, as you've experienced firsthand today, Gary."

Gary nodded in agreement. "Ishara Island is like no other place in the Pokémon world. What do you need from ash, Gramps?"

The professor explained, "I've uncovered some compelling information about the crystallization phenomenon that occurs on Ishara Island. It's a rare and powerful transformation, combining aspects of Mega Evolution and the Terastel Phenomenon. I believe this phenomenon holds the key to unlocking new powers for Pokémon and understanding the island's secrets."

Ash and Gary exchanged intrigued glances. "So, what do you need me to do, Professor?" Ash asked.

Professor Oak smiled. "I'd like you, Ash, to go to Ishara Island and help me with my research. Your experience as a Pokémon trainer and your history with the legendary Pokemons make you the perfect candidate. Gary, you're welcome to join as well if you're interested."

Gary looked thoughtful and then nodded. "I'd like to help out too, gramps. It would be a great opportunity to learn more about this phenomenon. But, sorry Gramps I have some research work on alola."

Professor Oak's smile remained warm, even as he understood Gary's commitments. "That's completely understandable, Gary. Your work in Alola is important, and I wouldn't want to pull you away from that. We can always share our findings when you have the chance."

Ash, on the other hand, was ready to embark on this new adventure. He turned to the professor and said, "I'm all in, Professor. I've been curious about Ishara Island, and if there's a way to help Pokémon unlock new powers, count me in!"

Professor Oak's eyes sparkled with excitement. "I knew I could count on your enthusiasm, Ash. I'll make the necessary arrangements, and you'll be on your way to Ishara Island in no time."

________________________________________________

Ash and Gary left Professor Oak's lab and headed towards their respective homes, excitement and anticipation filled the air. Ash couldn't contain his enthusiasm for the new adventure that awaited him on Ishara Island.

Walking alongside his friend, Ash exclaimed, "I can't believe it, Gary! This is going to be incredible. Exploring Ishara Island, learning more about the crystallization phenomenon, and helping Pokémon unlock new powers... that's really amazing!"

Gary chuckled at Ash's boundless energy. "You're always up for a new challenge, Ash. I can see the determination in your eyes. Just be careful and don't get too carried away."

He knew that this journey would be unlike any he had undertaken before, and he needed to be well-prepared.

Ash entered his room, where his trusty Pikachu, always by his side, watched with curiosity as he started to pack his backpack. He carefully selected essential items: portions, Poké Balls, a first-aid kit, and cooking equipments to last for an extended stay on the island. Each item was carefully chosen to ensure they were ready for any situation.

His loyal and first starter Pikachu, who observed the preparations with a curious gaze.

Ash smiled at his partner and said, "Pikachu, we're going on a journey to Ishara Island! It's going to be a wild adventure, just like the old days."

'Yeah. I'm excited for this adventure. It's always a blast when we go on new journeys together.'

Ash's thoughts drifted back to his earlier conversation with Professor Oak and the prospect of unlocking new powers for Pokémon. He thought himself "This is a chance to make a real difference in the Pokémon world. I've always believed in the potential of Pokémon, and if there's something extraordinary on Ishara Island, we have to find out."

As he zipped up his backpack, Ash's determination shone through. "We'll meet new Pokémon, unravel mysteries, and become even stronger, Pikachu. Let's do this together!"

_________________________________________________

Next day

The next day, as Ash prepared to depart for his mission to Ishara, he returned to Professor Oak's lab for some final guidance and information. The professor had one more piece of valuable information to share with him.

"Before you leave, Ash," Professor Oak began, "I want you to know who will be your guide and companion on this mission. Her name is Yancy, and she's an incredibly talented Pokémon Ranger.You will find her in the coast of Ishara island."

Professor Oak handed Ash a specially designed watch. It was no ordinary timepiece; it was a high-tech device with a range of features tailored for their challenging mission.

"Ash, I want you to have this," Professor Oak said, offering the watch to him. "This is a state-of-the-art tracking and communication device. It'll be essential for your mission."

Ash accepted the watch, intrigued by its capabilities. "Wow, this is amazing! What can it do?"

Professor Oak explained, "It has a tracking feature, so you can always find your way on the island. It's waterproof and designed for all types of environments, making it highly durable. Plus, it has a built-in communication feature that can connect you to me, Spenser, and the rest of the team. It's your lifeline in the field."

Ash was grateful for the device, knowing that it would be a valuable tool during their mission. "Thank you, Professor Oak. This will definitely come in handy."

With the watch securely on his wrist, Ash was ready to depart for Ishara, well-prepared and equipped with the tools they needed to ensure the success of their mission.

"Thank you, Professor Oak" Ash expressed sincerely. "This will definitely come in handy out there."

As he left the lab and headed to the airport for his flight to Ishara Island, his trusty Pikachu by his side, Ash couldn't help but recall a conversation he had with Leon, the Champion of Galar, the night before.

"Pikachu" Ash began, looking at his partner. "You remember that call with Leon last night, right? He said that this mission to Ishara Island could be something big, something that might change the Pokémon world. I'm really excited about it."

As Ash and Pikachu settled into their seats on the plane, Ash's mind drifted back to the conversation he had with Leon, the Champion of Galar, the night before. He decided to reach out to Leon through a video call to discuss the mission to Ishara Island.

{Flashback}

With his phone in hand, he initiated the call, and soon, Leon's face appeared on the screen. The Champion's cheerful smile greeted Ash, and he could tell Leon was eager to talk.

"Hey there, Ash! How's it going?" Leon asked.

Ash replied with enthusiasm "Hey, Leon! It's going great. I wanted to talk to you about the mission to Ishara Island. Professor Oak says it's a big deal. And the island is in the galarien sea I want to know more about that island."

Leon nodded, his expression becoming more serious. "It certainly is, Ash. Ishara Island is unlike any other place in the Pokémon world. The crystallization phenomenon and the power it holds could be a game-changer. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Stay sharp and always put the safety of yourself and your Pokémon first."

Leon, thinking about the depths of Ishara's mysteries remarked with a knowing smile "The island's secrets are like a legendary Pokémon, Ash. Elusive, but worth the pursuit."

Ash nodded in agreement. "I know, Leon. I'm prepared for whatever challenges we face. And I've got Pikachu and my pokemons by my side. We'll make sure to do it right."

Leon's smile returned. "That's the spirit, Ash. I believe in you, and I know you'll make the most of this opportunity. If you ever need advice or help, just reach out to me. I'm here for you."

Ash felt reassured by Leon's words. "Thanks, Leon. I appreciate your support. We'll give it our all on Ishara Island and make you proud."

{Flashback ends}

________________________________________________

Galarian Ranger Headquarter

Professor Oak was busy contacting Spenser, the head chief of the Galar Coastal Ranger organization. He had some important information to share about the upcoming research mission.

With a secure line of communication established, Professor Oak relayed the details of the research on Ishara Island to Spenser. "Spenser" he began, "I wanted to inform you about the mission we're sending Ash on. It's related to the crystallization phenomenon, a rare and powerful transformation that can impact Pokémon and the environment. This mission could have significant implications for the Pokémon world."

Spenser, the head chief of the Galar Coastal Ranger organization, listened intently to Professor Oak's explanation about the research mission to Ishara Island and the significance of the crystallization phenomenon. He understood the potential impact of this mission and the importance of ensuring its success.

After a moment of thoughtful consideration, Spenser responded "Professor Oak, I believe we should provide Ash with our best support. I'll arrange for our experienced ranger, Yancy, to join him on this mission. She has knowledge of Ishara Island and experience in dealing with unique phenomena, which will be invaluable."

Professor Oak agreed, appreciating the proactive approach. "That sounds like an excellent plan, Spenser. Yancy's skills will undoubtedly help the research efforts on Ishara Island. Please ensure they have everything they need for a successful research."

Spenser was quick to make arrangements, and he called in Yancy, one of their most experienced rangers, for a crucial assignment. He explained "Yancy, I have an important assignment for you. You'll be accompanying Ash Ketchum on the mission to Ishara. Here are his personal details; please check them."

Yancy was taken aback by the urgency in Spenser's request, and though she wasn't sure who this Ash Ketchum was or why he was being sent to the dangerous Ishara Island, she obliged with a curt "Yes, sir" before the call abruptly ended.

With a sense of unease, Yancy began examining the provided information on Ash, but her confusion deepened as she noticed that certain details about him were conspicuously absent or inaccessible.



The incomplete profile only added to the mystery, leaving her to wonder about the true nature of this mission and the boy Ash Ketchum she was tasked to accompany into the unknown.
