Chapter 1055: Ash's Dragon Maid
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
After understanding the whole story, the three of them gasped, their expressions filled with astonishment.
Even Elite Four Sidney couldn't help but be secretly amazed. What this old woman was saying was a bit too fantastical.
Right now, he wanted to return to the outside world, head to the Mossdeep Space Center, and grab the director by the collar to demand some answers.
Despite his appearance as an arrogant punk, Elite Four Sidney actually possessed a strong sense of justice; otherwise, he would never have accepted the position of an Elite Four member.
Ash and Yuki also had mixed expressions.
They had originally thought the Dragon God's trial was just some sightseeing tour, a chance to have some fun... but now they were being told it was about saving the world?
Starting off by placing such a heavy burden on them felt a bit off-putting.
"However, a trial like this..."
"Seems kind of interesting!"
But in the next moment, both Ash's and Yuki's eyes lit up.
Forget about saving the world for a moment... the mere idea of sensing, summoning, and even making the Dragon God, Rayquaza, undergo Mega Evolution...!?
What Trainer wouldn't get fired up by that!?
As a native of the Hoenn Region, he had heard the great name of Rayquaza since he was a child.
And here's a piece of trivia: from the time Ash started his journey until now, the very first Legendary Pokémon whose name he officially heard... was Rayquaza!
It was all connected.
"Hmph, whether there's a meteorite or not, since I'm here, I have no reason to lose to a couple of kids!"
Elite Four Sidney smirked, his expression fierce, and immediately declared he was in.
Seeing that all three had their battle intent stirred, the Elderly Grandmother nodded in satisfaction.
However, the sky was growing dark. After all, Ash and Brock had battled into the evening, and they had only come to Meteor Village because of the Shelgon's sudden appearance.
"Then the trial will begin tomorrow... By the way, let me first ask, do the three of you have any Dragon-type Pokémon with you?" the Elder suddenly asked.
After all, for a trial related to Rayquaza, it naturally required a Trainer to possess the "Dragon's Aura."
That is, they needed to have at least one Dragon-type Pokémon.
"I don't."
"I specialize in Dark-types."
Yuki and Elite Four Sidney shook their heads decisively.
Yuki had wanted to capture a powerful Dragon-type Pokémon, but he hadn't encountered a single one on his journey.
He had originally planned to go to the nameless desert north of Mauville City to capture a Trapinch.
As for Ash...
"Dark Lugia should count as a Dragon-type, but it seems to be asleep right now."
Ash shook his silver feather pendant. From within, only the vast aura of a boundless ocean could be felt. Clearly, the young Lugia was still accumulating its power, deep in slumber.
Vaguely, Ash remembered he had another Dragon-type Pokémon...
Poof!!
The next moment, a pink Love Ball at his waist suddenly burst open on its own.
As a red light flashed, a woman in an elegant black and white maid outfit suddenly appeared.
Her long, auburn hair fell in slender twin tails, and her head was adorned with a white, beaded floral accessory. Her fair, delicate face featured a pair of mysterious, amber eyes that were incredibly lively.
It was Latias in her Maid Form.
"Voo~!"
As soon as she appeared, she threw herself at Ash, hugging him tightly from behind.
Latias was half a head taller than Ash, making her truly look like an older-sister maid taking care of a young master.
But while the others were still bewildered as to how a human woman could suddenly pop out of a Poké Ball, Elite Four Sidney was already furious.
"Hey, kid! You dare to capture a human?!"
Capturing a girl like this in a Poké Ball and even forcing her to wear a servant's outfit... was this some kind of forbidden pet play?!
Don't be fooled by his title as a Dark-type Elite Four member; like an Arcanine, Elite Four Sidney possessed a heart of justice that opposed evil.
He immediately stepped forward, about to grab Ash by the collar and teach him a good lesson.
Capturing a human was an act that stood in complete opposition to the ethics of the entire human world.
"Huh...?!"
His hand was already gripping Ash's collar, but though Elite Four Sidney exerted his strength for a long while, he couldn't make the boy budge an inch.
What the hell?
Elite Four Sidney's heart skipped a beat. He used to be a street brawler, and his physical strength far exceeded that of an ordinary person. Why did it feel like he was grabbing a solid block of steel right now?
"?"
Ash just gave Sidney a bewildered look.
"Young man, if this old woman is not mistaken, this little lady should be a Dragon-type Pokémon, shouldn't she?"
At that moment, however, the Elderly Grandmother at the side saw through the mystery with a single glance.
Ash nodded.
Understanding the situation, Latias's figure flickered and transformed into the red and white, airplane-like Pokémon.
Her two small claws wanted to help Ash break free from Elite Four Sidney's grip, but she was also a little afraid of the man.
It wasn't so much fear as it was disgust.
"Voo!"
Latias covered her nose with one small claw and waved the other at Sidney repeatedly, as if shooing away a bug.
The stench of his Dark-type aura was too strong, causing the Psychic-type Latias to feel an instinctual aversion.
Sidney: "..."
Realizing it was a Pokémon with the ability to transform, Sidney's face flushed red as he awkwardly released Ash's collar.
Still, the act of having a Pokémon transform into a human maid was somewhat bizarre.
"The Legendary Pokémon, Latias...?"
Meanwhile, Yuki, who was at the side, recognized the Pokémon before him.
He had captured one in the games before, but it didn't have any kind of transformation ability at all.
Watching this Latias affectionately circle Ash, Yuki felt quite envious.
"What an incredible Dragon-type Pokémon...!"
The Elderly Grandmother also had the same astonished expression.
She never expected that this unremarkable-looking youth had such a powerful connection to the Dragon's Aura...
Perhaps this fellow was the big fish among the three outsiders!
"Voo-voo~!"
Seeing everyone's eyes focused on her, Latias's face turned red, and she became rather flustered.
Swoosh!
Her body emitted a flash of pink light, and she changed back into her human maid form, standing obediently behind Ash.
"So it's not a transformation, but an illusion...?"
Everyone present had keen observation skills, so they naturally saw that Latias wasn't physically transforming like a Ditto, but was instead creating a visual illusion.
The Elderly Grandmother, for her part, composed herself and shifted her attention back to the trial.
Seeing that it was late, she slowly began to speak:
"The trial requires each of you to have a Dragon-type Pokémon. For now, rest for the night. Tomorrow, you will spend the day in the area around Meteor Village and choose a Dragon-type Pokémon to be your partner. Be aware, each person may only choose one."
Meteor Village was a vast, secluded world. It wasn't just home to Bagon and Shelgon...
Even rare Dragon-type Pokémon from other regions made their home here.
Hearing this, Yuki's eyes lit up.
Even Elite Four Sidney, standing beside them, couldn't help but smirk. It seemed he already had his eye on something.
With that, the Elderly Grandmother looked at Ash again.
"Of course, you may also choose one. As for who you ultimately use as your partner, that is your decision."
Upon hearing this, Ash's gaze grew fiery as well!
