Chapter 78: Alola Giant Guardian

“System antivirus scan in progress…”
The three of them had already finished dinner. Ash was picking his teeth and patting his stomach as he came over to look, only to find that the Pokedex on the stone table was still running at high speed. From time to time, it would emit a grating, grinding sound.
"Right, Gu cultivation isn't something that can be completed in a day. When others raise an Arbok, it takes a full forty-five days to take shape."
He casually tossed the toothpick aside and released his Pokemon around him for a post-dinner warm-up.
It was said that Saffron City also had a Gym, and rumor had it that its difficulty was no simple matter. He would have to do some special training.
"Gengar, you're too strong. You'll be on standby this time. Let's give the younger ones a chance. Who knows, the Saffron Gym might have a type advantage against you anyway."
"Geng."
Gengar paid Ash no mind at all. The moment it came out, it activated its Levitate ability and flew to a high platform. It squatted down, resting its chin on its two chubby hands, immersed in the pain of a broken heart.
He was a guy, and his online love interest was a guy too. Not even a ghost could take that!
Ash scratched his head, impressed without really understanding why, then turned his gaze to his other Pokemon.
As for Pikachu, it had already finished eating, laid out its little blanket with the lightning bolt symbol, said good night, and peacefully closed its eyes.
The sun had already set for almost an hour. If it didn't sleep now, it might die from exhaustion.
Ash: "..."
How had this Electric Mouse become so spoiled under his care?
He then turned his gaze to his long-serving Kanto team. Charmander had been appearing frequently recently and had made outstanding contributions in battle, but its temper was also gradually becoming more irritable.
According to Teacher Brock's analysis, this was a sign of impending evolution. Fire-type Pokemon always become extremely irritable before they evolve.
He could use this Gym challenge to complete its evolution...
On the other hand, Squirtle and Bulbasaur had battled far less. Bulbasaur usually just came out to be used as a rope, while Squirtle was purely there to liven things up.
They could also be scheduled for a battle...
Meanwhile, Metapod was still accumulating power, waiting for the day it would break from its cocoon and transform into a dragon...
If it entered a battle state now, it would have trouble holding back its power. It would all overflow, wasting a thousand years of cultivation in an instant.
One had to know, it wasn't holding an Everstone; it was getting by purely on its own tenacious willpower.
Pidgeotto, on the other hand, was busy training an HM, so it probably wouldn't have time to participate.
"It seems a 3v3 at the Saffron Gym would be perfect."
Ash muttered to himself, soon joining them in their fiery training.
"Pidgeotto, use Rock Smash on that rock!"
"Pidgeo!" Pidgeotto understood, its wing carving a mark across the rock.
*Whoosh...*
Late at night, a gust of wind rustled through the forest. The three of them raised their heads in unison, gazing at the sky.
Brock spread his hands, his fingers held in a delicate pose, feeling the pulse of the air current. His bright eyes glinted faintly in the moonlight.
"Looks like a strong wind is coming tomorrow..."
Just as the Pokedex had mentioned, maybe the three of them would get to see the rare mass migration of Butterfree tomorrow.
Ash and Misty: "..."
Damn, has Teacher Brock really achieved enlightenment?
The next morning.
The wind had indeed grown stronger, and its force was expected to peak in the afternoon.
After taking a deep breath of the auspicious morning air from the east, Ash turned and ripped the blanket off Pikachu.
"Pika?"
Seeing Pikachu's baffled, just-woken-up expression, Ash instantly made up his mind. From now on, he could not let it continue to be so willful.
He abruptly raised his arms and did a stretching exercise.
"Pikachu, do morning exercises with me!"
Seeing this, Pikachu could only let out a yawn, raise its little paws, and reluctantly start the exercises.
After a round of warm-ups, the man and mouse were both fired up. Seeing the battle intent return to Pikachu's eyes, Ash felt secretly relieved.
As expected, as long as Pikachu was willing to work hard, it was still motivated.
It has great potential for the future!
After breakfast, the three packed their bags and prepared to continue toward Saffron City. Ash casually picked up the Pokedex, which he had left on a distant stone table for fear of an explosion, and was surprised to find it had stopped running.
"Has the strongest Gu King finally been born?"
Ash and the other two grew curious, their three heads forming a circle to look at it.
Tapping the screen, they found that the previous Vermilion Butler, Viridian Safety Butler, and Mt. Silver Antivirus had all disappeared. Only a single antivirus software remained on the main screen.
The three of them had slept soundly last night, unaware that an earth-shattering, history-making war was taking place inside the Pokedex's CPU.
At the start of the battle, the Vermilion Butler, like the local clickbait, was aggressive and launched a simultaneous attack on the other three programs.
The Viridian Safety Butler, following the will of the land, was as unmoving as a mountain and as solid as a rock, not taking the initiative to attack.
Mt. Silver Antivirus, however, surged in the mid-game, becoming terrifyingly strong and launching antivirus attacks on the other two simultaneously.
As for the Alola Guardian, it was just a country bumpkin. The three high-class programs didn't even give it a second glance.
However, this also laid the tragic groundwork for the final battle.
At the last moment, the Alola Guardian actually broke through the shackles of its own version. A program written in low-level assembly language actually leaped to the even more fundamental machine language.
Even a three-year-old knows.
When it comes to coding, the lower the level, the more powerful it is.
In the end, the Alola Guardian evolved into a brand-new version you've never seen before.
Alola Giant Guardian!
The salted fish had made its comeback. It successfully trashed the other three antivirus programs, deleting them completely, and the entire Pokedex instantly felt refreshed.
"Beep. Vermilion Headlines deletion successful."
"Beep. Vermilion News deletion successful."
"Beep. DouYe deletion successful."
Seeing the junk software finally deleted, Ash was greatly relieved. He patted the shoulders of the two beside him, glad that he wouldn't have to smash this Pokedex after all.
But before he could be happy for more than a few seconds, the Pokedex made a sound again.
"Beep. Alola Headlines installation successful."
"Beep. Alola Highlights installation successful."
"Beep. Micro-rola installation successful."
Ash: "?"
I thought this Alola thing was some benevolent saint, but it turns out all Murkrow are the same shade of black!
"Hey, hurry up and delete this junk for me!" he shouted angrily.
"Beep. Initiating Plan A: Use Alola Giant Guardian to delete Alola Headlines."
"Beep. Deletion failed."
Ash: "?"
Soon, the Pokedex once again made the sound of its fan operating at high speed.
"Beep. Initiating Plan B: Use the Vermilion Butler to delete Alola Headlines. Beginning installation of the Vermilion Butler."
"Beep. Installation failed."
"Beep. Beginning installation of Vermilion Butler Plus."
The three of them: "?"
Hearing that name, it sounded like another peerless Gu King!
Wait, why does this plot feel a bit familiar?
Have they entered the world of the Infinite Tsukuyomi?
"Stop, stop, stop!!"
Ash hurriedly interrupted.
Forget it. Let's just leave it. Perhaps a Pokedex always has to have one piece of junk software on it.
He could only stuff the Pokedex back into his pocket, but his face seemed to age ten years in an instant.

*(A bit of writer's block, thinking about the future plot.)*
*(The results from the past two days haven't been great. It's the last two days, please give me recommendation tickets, it's the final stretch!!!!)*
