Early the next morning.
Still at the Mauville City Pokémon Center.
Today, Ash and his group were to continue their journey toward Fortree City.
But before leaving, they had to retrieve their Pokémon Eggs. Last night, the three of them had placed their Eggs in front of Gold and left without saying much.
As for how much effort he should put in, or what requests they had...
"I even gave him the Champion's item from the Dog Fighting Competition. Master Gold will definitely use his full strength!" Ash simply thought to himself.
Making no request was the highest request of all.
However, in the lobby, only Kris was waiting for them.
Along with three Pokémon Eggs on the table.
They didn't seem to have changed... but their surfaces looked as if they had been polished, faintly reflecting a soft luster.
This was a special phenomenon that only appeared after Master Gold's empowerment ritual.
"Hehe, Gold is completely dead to the world."
Kris explained with a smile.
Although the two of them traveled together, the guy was always boasting and showing off to her, full of boundless energy.
Now that Ash and the others had taught him a lesson...
Kris felt not a shred of sympathy; instead, she rather wanted to laugh.
"These three Eggs have all been blessed. As for how much power he used, Gold didn't say."
Kris acted as a messenger, recalling what Gold had told her after his "exercise" last night.
Hearing this, the eyes of Ash and his two companions lit up. They picked up their own Eggs and examined them from top to bottom.
As expected of Master Gold, able to do it three times in one night!
"As for what species they are, Gold didn't say. After all, the surprise of the moment they hatch is a big part of the fun of hatching..."
As she spoke, Kris added something more.
"But he did say that inside Ash's Egg is a very mischievous Pokémon, and it will probably hatch in about half a month."
She then pointed to the Eggs in Brock's and Blue's hands.
"This pink Pokémon has extremely powerful strength. It will probably hatch in about a month."
"As for Blue's, it's a dangerous Pokémon that loves to play pranks. It will take about half a month to hatch."
Hearing this, the three's eyes glazed over, their minds filled with fantasies about the Pokémon that would hatch.
"Half a month, huh..."
Ash looked at the Egg in his arms, estimating it would hatch during his journey between the sixth and seventh Gyms...?
With everything settled, Ash and his friends prepared to leave.
However, seeing as they had left Gold unable to get out of bed, they still felt a little awkward.
"Um, once you're done with your business at the Pokémon Day Care, you could come to the Mauville Gym in Mauville City. The Gym Leader there might be able to take you to a Fantasy City."
Ash suddenly spoke up.
"A Fantasy City?"
Kris tilted her head, not understanding what kind of riddle this was.
But she still committed his words to memory.
A few days ago, Ash had received a call from Wattson, who said that New Mauville's reconstruction was in full swing and that he could come over to sightsee and enjoy it at any time.
It would be best if he could stay for a while.
To test out the city's actual living conditions.
However, they were focused on their Gym challenge and couldn't stay for long, so Ash simply recommended Gold and Kris go instead.
Given Master Gold's personality, a novel, underground Fantasy City would probably be right up his alley.
As he was leaving, Ash didn't forget to add a reminder.
"Oh, right, when Master Gold wakes up, don't forget to tell him I'm currently challenging the Hoenn Region's Pokémon League Tournament. He can come to Ever Grande City to observe the battles then!"
Maybe he could get another Pokémon Egg along the way?
"I know~"
Kris just replied gently.
He didn't know if it was his imagination, but Ash felt that the Kris he had seen in the Johto Region was supposed to be heroic and decisive, one who would recklessly charge forward to battle and capture any special Pokémon she saw.
But now, how had she become so gentle, her voice so delicate...?
Leaving Mauville City, Ash and his group headed east.
After walking along a wide path, they could already faintly see a boundless sea.
This was the Hoenn Region's inland sea, more like a massive canyon that divided the entire region into eastern and western parts.
The southern waterway stretched all the way to the open sea, while the eastern and western shores were separated by a distance of several dozen kilometers, a journey of about an hour by boat to reach the other side.
Seeing dedicated passenger ships and decks next to the beach, Ash chose not to send out his Lapras this time, instead going to buy three boat tickets to the opposite shore.
It was mainly because an hour's journey wasn't even enough to be a snack for Lapras, so he decided not to call it out.
Buy tickets, board the ship.
In no time, Ash and his two companions were standing on the deck of a medium-sized cruise ship.
Tourism was popular in the Hoenn Region, and there were quite a few other tourists on board at this moment, making for a lively atmosphere.
Meanwhile, the three of them leaned against the railing, enjoying the sea breeze and gazing at the receding path they had come from, entering a rare moment of leisure...
BOOM!!
However, this state didn't last long. A thunderclap suddenly erupted from the sky, causing everyone on the ship to shudder.
"What the hell, isn't it Sunny Day?!"
Ash looked up at the sky, bewildered. The dazzling sun was still hanging up there.
Pitter-patter!!
But the next moment, the cloudless sunny sky instantly switched to a heavy downpour. The entire sky was covered by thick dark clouds, and torrential rain followed.
"?"
Ash and his friends quickly covered their heads and retreated to the cruise ship's indoor area in a rather sorry state.
But this downpour didn't even last five minutes before the sunlight broke through the dark clouds again, and the surrounding rain stopped.
Ash: "???"
How did it switch from a rainy day back to Sunny Day again?
However, before Ash could step back outside...
BOOM!!
Another thunderclap exploded, and then immense sheets of rain poured down again as the sky was once more covered by black clouds.
For the next while, the weather in this sea area just kept switching back and forth between Sunny Day and a rainy day.
This caused the light on Ash's and Pikachu's faces to flicker, flashing intermittently like a lightbulb.
This strange cycle repeated more than ten times, leaving Ash and his friends completely numb.
"Mister, is this a unique phenomenon of this sea area?"
Ash couldn't help but tug on the sleeve of a burly sailor next to him and ask.
Maybe this area's name is the "Quirky Sea"?
"It's not."
The sailor shook his head, but his expression showed he was used to it.
"But this situation has been going on for almost a week now..."
As he spoke, he looked in the direction the ship was heading.
"Not only that, this phenomenon of the weather changing erratically is happening almost everywhere in the eastern area of the Hoenn Region now. It's completely impossible to figure out the pattern."
"Everywhere?"
The three were slightly stunned. That sounded a bit scary.
