Chapter 1099: What Typhlosion Jinchuriki?
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
The next day, at night.
After a full day on an airplane, Gold and Kris finally landed in the central city of the Hoenn Region.
As they found the local Pokémon Center and pushed open the glass doors at the entrance...
*Pop!!*
*Pop!!*
The sound of several confetti cannons suddenly erupted from both sides, followed by a messy shower of streamers that landed on their heads, leaving Gold and Kris stunned at the doorway.
Ash's group of three, who had been waiting for a long time, shouted in unison:
"Welcome, Master Gold!!"
The sound was exceptionally loud in the Pokémon Center in the middle of the night, instantly drawing the attention of many people in the lobby.
"Master Gold? What kind of Master is he?"
"Is he some kind of celebrity?"
"He seems like a big deal, huh?!"
Surrounded at the center of it all, Gold was instantly gawked at by numerous passersby, who began to murmur among themselves.
Although it was inexplicable, this feeling of being the center of attention made Gold secretly delighted. He was the type of person who wanted to be the star of the show wherever he went.
"Ahem."
On the surface, however, Gold just gave a calm cough and pressed his hand down in mid-air, signaling for everyone not to be too ostentatious.
Their guidance work in the Hoenn Region this time was supposed to be an incognito visit.
"Oh, oh, Kris, you've gotten even cuter~!"
Blue took the opportunity to flatter the girl beside him.
They had all spent some time together back at the Silver Conference.
Kris had changed into a pair of blue denim overall shorts, with a small red short-sleeved shirt underneath, complemented by a white top hat with a red ribbon. Compared to her previous outfit, this one made her look even more adorable and energetic.
Seeing that the passersby were about to come over and ask, "Who exactly is Master Gold?" Ash's group hurriedly pulled Gold over to the adjacent lounge.
Before the two could even sit down properly, Ash had already placed a yellowish-green mud ball right in front of Gold's face.
Gold: "?"
*What a huge booger.*
"This is a welcome gift—Light Clay! It can significantly increase the duration of the Light Screen and Reflect your Typhlosion sets up!"
Ash quickly explained.
He wasn't a Double Screen-style trainer, so this Light Clay wasn't of much use to him. It was perfect to give away as a gift.
Ash had originally wanted to give away the symbol of the P1 Grand Prix Champion—the bone necklace—as well.
But it was Entei's, after all, and giving it away might displease the latter.
"Uh, okay..."
Gold could only blankly accept the snot-like clay.
*Why is this guy giving me a gift, anyway?*
*Wait a minute, my Typhlosion doesn't even know how to set up double screens!*
"Um..."
Before Gold could finish, Brock had already come closer, holding a palm-sized rock in his hand.
The grayish-brown rock looked ancient at a glance. The center of the rock was arched, as if some kind of beetle was embedded inside.
"This is a Dome Fossil. If you use this Fossil for Pokémon restoration, your Typhlosion can gain a powerful companion—Kabuto!"
Brock introduced it seriously.
Apparently, several Fossils had been excavated recently in his hometown's Mt. Moon, and one was even sent to him. Brock already had a Kabuto, so he decided to give it to Gold.
"Ah, thanks..."
Gold dazedly took the Fossil, still not having fully recovered from his surprise.
*Besides, this Fossil has absolutely nothing to do with my Typhlosion!*
It couldn't be helped. After all, they all knew Gold was a Typhlosion Jinchuriki.
Just forcing the connection was good enough!
"Ooh, ooh, my turn~!"
Finally, Blue also came closer, her hand clenched into a fist, moving it right in front of Gold's eyes.
Seeing the sandbag-sized pink fist approach his eye socket, Gold subconsciously performed a tactical lean-back.
*This woman isn't about to pop me one, is she?!*
However, when Blue fully opened her palm, all he saw was a small glass marble.
Yellow and green patterns were embedded in a pale pink orb, its surface shimmering with a strange light.
"Ta-da~! This is a Beedrillite! It can let your Typhlosion obtain even greater strength~!"
Blue introduced with a smile.
Gold: "..."
*This is getting more and more ridiculous. Does this thing have any connection whatsoever to my Typhlosion?!*
But a Mega Stone was a rare item. Speaking of which, Blue's gift completely outshone the others.
"Blue, since when did you have a spare Mega Stone?"
"You're so generous!"
While Gold was still fiddling with the items, Ash and Brock quickly pulled Blue aside.
Even for an egg-hatching gift, this is quite extravagant!
"It's fine, I have a whole bunch anyway~"
Blue just took out a fist-sized cloth bag from her pocket and shook it in front of them.
*Clink~ Clink~ Clink~!*
The sound of dozens of stones clacking together immediately rang out, and from the outline of the cloth bag, they could vaguely make out many small orbs.
*By that count, there must be over twenty of them?!*
"They're all Mega Stones?!"
"How is that possible?!"
Ash curiously took the cloth bag. The two of them peered inside, and sure enough, it was filled with all sorts of colorful Mega Stones.
Right now, they really looked like cheap toy marbles sold by the pound on the street.
"Well~ Big Sis Blue gave them to me when she left a few days ago~"
Blue simply explained with a light laugh.
"Wait, Azure Master?!"
Ash's body trembled as he instantly understood.
Nine times out of ten, these must be the Mega Stones from the Devon Corporation, the ones that were stolen by the Draconid People's undercover agent, Zinnia.
Then, that woman got beaten up by Azure Master.
He guessed that while the latter was throwing punches, she had subconsciously used her secret technique of pilfering, intercepting the stolen Mega Stones for herself.
As for returning them to the Devon Corporation... they weren't exactly acquainted.
*She stole Zinnia's Mega Stones, what does that have to do with your Devon Corporation?*
Blue (manga character)'s line of thinking was quite aggressive.
After hearing this explanation, Ash and Brock gasped in unison, exclaiming:
"As expected of Azure Master..."
Soon, seeing Gold over there playing with the items with Kris, Ash's group of three surrounded him again.
*Thud! Thud! Thud!*
The sound of three thuds in front of him made Gold snap his head up, and a bad feeling began to surface.
On the table before him were three protective cases, each containing a Pokémon Egg.
"Since you've accepted the gifts..."
"Then, Master Gold..."
"We're counting on you!!"
Ash's group spoke one after another, finally bowing to Gold in unison.
Gold: "..."
*Just as I thought!*
*These three really weren't this kind-hearted! All the grand gestures of welcoming him and giving him gifts, it turns out they were waiting for him with this!*
But having accepted their gifts, he was now in their debt. With the gifts already stuffed in his arms, Gold's face turned pale; he was in no position to refuse.
"Three of them..."
He had traveled all this way from another region to the Hoenn Region, and now they wanted him to empower three Pokémon Eggs...
He hadn't even started exerting his power, yet Gold could already feel his legs turning to jelly.
