I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

"Of course, Shigeru, you know me well. I used to get lost a lot when we went to play in the woods," Ash said.

"You do have a terrible sense of direction, but why do I smell a fragrance on you that only girls have?" Xiao Mao said.

"Ah! No... that must be the smell of Kanon," Ash hurriedly explained.

Xiaoxia looked annoyed and walked away.

Ash, being so oblivious, naturally couldn't tell that Misty was jealous. He just thought he had escaped a disaster and didn't need to explain what happened that afternoon.

Ash promised Bengrave and Canon that he wouldn't reveal the secrets of the garden.

The group went to the restaurant for a meal. After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they returned to their rooms to rest. Because Odomare is a tourist hotspot, the Pokémon Center didn't have many rooms, so the group stayed in a four-person room with four bunk beds.

Night falls.

Of course, Ash and the others were asleep, but Gary was awake and waited silently.

Around 1 a.m., the window suddenly opened, a figure appeared, and then a bright light flashed, instantly waking Xiaozhi.

"Canon!"

Xiao Zhi's exclamation also woke up Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia. Xiao Mao also got up and looked at Canon standing at the window. He saw a name on Canon's head.

【LV60 Latias♀/Near Legendary】

The one who came was not Canon, but Latias in disguise.

Seeing the worried look on Kanon's face, Xiaozhi stepped forward and asked, "Kanon, what's wrong?"

Canon then hugged Xiaozhi tightly, like a helpless little girl.

Ash suddenly realized that the Canon in front of him was not Canon, but Latias.

"Xiao Zhi, what exactly happened?" Xiao Xia asked immediately.

Ash knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he revealed Canon's identity. When Misty and Brock learned that Canon was a Pokémon, they were quite taken aback.

Fortunately, Ditto can also transform into humans, and they quickly accepted this fact.

“Latias, these three are my friends, you don’t need to worry,” Ash said.

Latias glanced at Gary and his two friends, still looking at Ash with some concern, while Ash returned a reassuring look to Latias.

Seeing that Ash said so, Latias stopped hiding and transformed back into its original form with a flash of light.

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia were both startled by Latias's change, but Xiaomao remained calm.

Without wasting any words, Latias immediately used Mirror Image to project Latias's current situation into an image for everyone to see.

In the holographic image, Bengrave and Canon are seen bound by spider silk, while Latios is surrounded by a glue-like substance and placed in a circular barrier next to a device.

Sanna and Lian placed the Heart Drop into a groove on the device. Lian entered the cockpit and began operating the device. Latios, trapped within the barrier, was also affected by the device, becoming trapped as well.

There are two barriers, and the other one cannot be activated because Latias is not present. Latios alone cannot operate the device.

The scene then vanished, leaving Latios in agony. Latios had nearly fainted from overusing his mental energy.

"Latias... what's wrong?" Ash asked worriedly.

"Latias must have escaped from those two women. It must be injured. Let me heal it." Gary took out a pink Poké Ball.

"Why did you take out a Poké Ball?" Ash was confused. Healing Pokémon shouldn't be done with a spray medicine.

"This is a Heal Ball. When you capture a Pokémon, the healing power inside can restore its injuries and even remove status ailments," Brock explained.

“That’s right. Sending Latias for treatment now won’t be fast enough. With a Healing Ball, he can recover quickly,” said Shigeru.

That's right, Shigeru's plan is to use the Heal Ball to capture Latias and Latios, and this reason is absolutely impeccable.

"Latias, the Heal Ball can heal your injuries. Don't struggle, you'll be released soon," said Shigeru.

"Ugh...2.9."

Latias looked at the Pokémon in Shigeru's hand, a look of fear on his face, somewhat distrustful of Shigeru's words.

"Latias, don't worry, Gary is my good friend, he won't do anything to you," Ash reassured him.

"Ugh." Latias hesitated for a moment, then nudged Ash's back with its head, pushing Ash in front of Gary, as if trying to express something.

Everyone looked puzzled, wondering what Latias meant.

"Latias, do you mean Ash should use a Heal Ball to capture you?" Gary asked.

"Ugh."

Latias nodded emphatically.

The moment he saw Latias nod, Gary felt as if his heart was breaking. All his meticulously planned scheme had ended up benefiting Ash.

307: Little Zhi got a good deal.

"Xiao Zhi, here you go."

Without hesitation, Gary placed the Heal Ball in Ash's hand.

Ash was also surprised. Although he was called "Silly Guy," he wasn't stupid. Gary gave him this rare opportunity to catch a legendary Pokémon without hesitation. That showed great magnanimity.

"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up, we still have things to take care of at the cathedral," Xiao Mao urged.

"it is good!"

Ash nodded, turned to Latias, and uttered the line that has captivated countless Pokémon fans.

"Go, Poké Ball!"

Ash throws out a Heal Ball.

The Healing Ball flew through the air in a graceful straight line, striking Latias and capturing it as a Pokémon.

The healing ball fell to the ground, shook gently three times, and then stopped shaking. After being successfully captured, a green glow covered the healing ball.

"Is this a healing process?" Ash asked.

"Yes, it will be ready in a moment," Xiao Mao said.

A few seconds later, the healing glow on the healing orb dissipated, and the healing was complete.

"Satoshi, it's all done," Gary reminded him.

Ash nodded, walked over, picked up the Heal Ball, and pressed its switch.

Baton!

Latias appears.

"Woo!!"

Latias, upon emerging from the slump, was astonished to find himself brimming with energy.

Although Latias has always lived in the city of Aldor Mare, it has never been captured or visited a Pokémon Center. It has always recovered from its injuries by resting. This is the first time it has experienced this kind of treatment.

"Alright, there's no time to lose. I need to get moving. If we delay any longer, Ben Gray and Canon will be in danger," said Xiao Mao.

“Okay, Latias, let’s go rescue your brother, Uncle Bengrey, and Canon,” said Shigeru.

"Woo!"

Latias nodded.

The group approached the window, preparing to emerge, but upon reaching it, they discovered that iron bars had been erected at all the city's intersections. These bars were connected to the walls, whereas they had been there during the day.

"Oh no, those two women have already activated the device. We need to get out of here quickly!" Xiao Mao said urgently.

As the flowers fell, iron bars were raised on the windows of the nearby building, sealing them off. Ash and Gary jumped out of the window before it was sealed and fell into the river, while Brock and Misty were trapped inside the room.

"Sho, Gary, you go to the cathedral first, we'll be there shortly," Brock said.

Both Shigeru and Satoshi nodded.

"Xiao Zhi, let's get ashore first."

"it is good."

The two arrived at the shore.

"Charizard, come out." Gary released Charizard and said, "Let's fly over there."

Gary and Ash jumped onto Charizard's back and flew towards the cathedral. Gary's Charizard was very strong and carried the two of them without any pressure. Latias followed closely behind.

However, things didn't go so smoothly.

"Shigeru, look down there." Ash pointed down and saw a nearly two-meter-tall scythe-helmeted creature roaming the rooftops, leaping and chasing after Shigeru and his friends.

"Ok?"

Shigeru looked at the Scythe Helmet and noticed that it didn't have a name on its head, meaning that the Scythe Helmet below wasn't a real Pokémon, but rather a Pokémon formed from energy.

Whoosh! !

The Scythe-Helm quickly caught up to Charizard below, keeping pace with it. With a high leap, its body was enveloped in a layer of water as it attacked Charizard.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash commanded.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu unleashed a Thunderbolt, which pierced through the water curtain on Kabutops' body, knocking it to the ground. Kabutops was still trembling, paralyzed.

"Aww!!"

However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a figure flew towards them—a fossil pterosaur with white eyes.

This fossil pterosaur was also taller and more robust than a normal fossil pterosaur; the difference was like the difference between an ordinary Super Saiyan and a true Super Saiyan.

"Zetzart, you're in charge of dealing with Aerodactyl." Gary took out a Poké Ball and opened it.

"Quack!"

Zapdos appeared and immediately unleashed a bolt of lightning at Aerodactyl, which dodged to the side.

"Since they know how to dodge, they must have some intelligence," Xiao Mao said.

"Zetzart?!"

Ash looked surprised and doubtful, as he remembered that Gary hadn't brought Zapdos with him.
