Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Chapter 297: Ash's Decision

The scene shifts to Ash's side, where he has been brought before Lysandre.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself bound by some kind of special device, suspended high in the air.

Not only him, but his Pokémon—Pikachu, Talonflame, Noivern, Hawlucha, Goodra, and Greninja—were all similarly restrained.

Especially Greninja, it was singled out and raised separately.

"What's going on?" Ash struggled with all his might, but he couldn't break free no matter what.

Lysandre looked up at Ash and said, "I apologize for treating you in such a crude manner, but letting you down is impossible!"

"Alain!" Hearing this, Ash looked at Alain, trying to ask him for help.

Alain then looked at Lysandre and asked, "Lysandre, what exactly do you want Ash to do?"

Lysandre looked at Ash upon hearing this and said, "Ash, you may be the chosen one!"

After witnessing Greninja's Bond Phenomenon, Lysandre had always believed this.

"What are you talking about?" Ash looked puzzled.

Lysandre did not answer Ash, but looked at Z1 and Z2, who were fighting in the distance.

"Do you see them? Those are the legendary Zygarde, monitoring the world, bearing the responsibility of delivering judgment when order is disturbed.

This destruction is the anger of Zygarde and our Team Flare. When Zygarde is stained with the red of anger, this world will be reset!"

Hearing this, Ash angrily said, "What anger? Zygarde is just being controlled by you! Don't try to find some high-sounding reason for yourselves!"

This was the first time Alain had heard Lysandre's theory. He had always thought that Lysandre was collecting Mega Evolution energy to better benefit the world and Pokémon.

"Lysandre, what exactly are you doing? What does resetting the world mean?"

Lysandre said to himself, "Soon, the other Zygarde will surely understand our thoughts and be stained with the red of anger as well!"

"Squishy wouldn't!" Ash firmly retorted, "None of the Zygarde understand you. You used despicable means!"

After saying that, Ash looked at Alain and said, "Alain, say something too, quickly refute him. Your thoughts are different from his, right?"

However, Alain was so shocked by Lysandre's words that he had lost the ability to think.

While Ash and Lysandre were arguing, the two Zygarde fought even more fiercely, and countless buildings in Lumiose City were turned to dust under their impact.

Seeing this scene, Lysandre said with a smile, "Alain, thanks to you. If you hadn't been helping me collect Mega Evolution energy all this time, we wouldn't have been able to successfully make Zygarde understand us."

It turned out that the Mega Evolution energy Alain had collected from challenging various trainers along the way was all used by Lysandre to control Zygarde.

Hearing this, shock appeared on the faces of both Ash and Alain, especially Alain, who subconsciously took a step back.

He couldn't believe that he was actually one of the culprits in the destruction of the Kalos region.

Lysandre continued, "Look, this world will no longer usher in tomorrow! The sun will be welcoming a brand new world!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and at the same time, he exclaimed, "The ending is such a beautiful thing, it's simply the beginning of moving towards peace!"

Ash and Alain stared wide-eyed at Lumiose City, which had almost been reduced to ruins in the distance. In the end, Alain couldn't bear the blow and knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"It's all my fault, my fault..."

Lysandre looked at Ash and said, "Only the chosen ones can obtain tickets to tomorrow. Ash, do you want a ticket, or do you want to stop me? You are a very excellent person, worthy of obtaining a ticket to the new world!"

Ash said with a face full of disdain, "Who wants your stinky ticket!"

Lysandre showed regret upon hearing this and said, "Since that's the case, then lend me the power of your bond with Greninja. To be able to unleash such powerful strength without relying on a Mega Stone and Key Stone...

I was无比shocked when I first saw it. It turns out that Pokémon really possess infinite possibilities. As long as we continue to explore, they will definitely be able to unleash more and more powerful strength!"

As his words fell, two bee-like devices flew out of his body, flying to above Ash and Greninja respectively, and then each shot out a red light, hitting the one human and one Pokémon.

"Ah!!!"

"Kouga!!!"

Ash and Greninja immediately let out painful wails.

Lysandre explained, "This is the power that can even control Zygarde. Ash, Greninja, let me control your bond power!"

Ash's painful wails caused Pikachu and the others to cry out with worry on their faces.

"Pika Pika~"

"Ya Lo~"

"Mellon~"

…

"Ah ah ah!!!" Ash wailed in pain.

Alain finally wanted to get up at this time, he anxiously said to Lysandre, "Lysandre, please stop!"

Before Lysandre could speak, he heard Pikachu loudly calling out to Ash, whose will was gradually becoming blurred.

Ash and Greninja seemed to hear Pikachu's call and immediately opened their eyes sharply.

Ash stubbornly looked at Lysandre and said, "Dream on, we won't let you have your way!"

"Kouga~" Greninja nodded, agreeing with Ash's words.

Lysandre said angrily, "Don't you understand? The world is about to be destroyed, and you are the chosen ones. Why don't you obediently step into the new world with me?"

Ash said with a face full of disdain, "Who wants to become some chosen one! Who wants to enter some bullsh*t new world! I want the current world, the current world is very good!"

Saying that, Ash looked at Alain and said, "Alain, although I don't know what happened to you, how long are you going to wallow in it? Whatever happened in the past doesn't matter, what matters is the present. Are you going to just stand by and watch the world be destroyed?"

Ash's words made Alain's expression shake, and his eyes slowly became firm.

Ash's words caused a trace of anger to flash across Lysandre's face, "Shut up! What do you know? These are all important steps towards peace!"

Ash looked sadly at the devastated Lumiose City, and then angrily looked at Lysandre.

"You talk about peace all the time, but look, what kind of peace is this?"

Lysandre said angrily, "What right do you have to say that? What right do you have to say that when you don't understand the ugly parts of this world at all?"

Speaking of which, Lysandre seemed to fall into a memory. He said, "In the past, there were times when I reached out to people, and people were happy to be helped..."

But... that was only at the beginning. They gradually took other people's help for granted, and then made requests again and again, and they became more and more excessive.

My help only brought them arrogance and endless greed. Once I couldn't meet their demands, their mouths would be full of abuse!"

Speaking of this, he took a deep breath.

"Humans are stupid. In this huge system of the world, the gears in some places have broken down, and humans are the culprits for this breakdown!

So this world is over. I need to destroy it and then rebuild an ideal world of my own."

Saying that, he looked at Ash and Alain.

"As for you, my world doesn't need you anymore! I thought you would understand me, but now it seems that I was just being sentimental!"

Ash gritted his teeth and said, "Lysandre, whether you hate this world or not, the world doesn't belong to you alone. I will never allow you to destroy it without permission!

The world belongs to all humans and Pokémon. What destruction, change, no tomorrow... Stop talking nonsense!

Tomorrow we can see the most important people to us, tomorrow we can realize our dreams, tomorrow we can embark on a journey to become a trainer... Everyone has their own tomorrow.

Our tomorrow, everyone's tomorrow, what right do you have to take it away?"

Speaking of this, Ash's expression became extremely firm.

"So I... I will definitely fight to the end for our tomorrow, for everyone's tomorrow!"

Ash's extremely firm words made Lysandre subconsciously take a step back.

At this moment, countless streams of water enveloped Ash and Greninja, and they broke through the red light that was shooting at them.

The next second, Greninja broke free from the restraints and also rescued Ash and Pikachu.

Lysandre said in disbelief, "How is this possible? That's the power that even Zygarde can control!"

Ash said, "This is the bond between me and Greninja!"

"Okay, very good. I underestimated you and underestimated the power of bonds," Lysandre said, taking out two Poké Balls. "Enough nonsense, you will stay here forever today! Since the power of bonds cannot be used by me, then disappear!"

Saying that, he threw the Poké Balls. As two red lights flashed, a Gyarados and a Pyroar appeared.

The Gyarados was actually a Shiny Gyarados.

In the surprised eyes of Ash and Alain, Lysandre's Gyarados was wrapped in a strong colorful light, and instantly completed Mega Evolution.

Seeing this, Alain quickly commanded his Charizard to complete Mega Evolution as well.

Lysandre commanded, "Gyarados, Burn Up! Pyroar, Flamethrower!"

As his voice fell, Gyarados opened its mouth and spat out a stream of fire towards Ash and his friends, and Pyroar also controlled a pillar of fire to strike.

Seeing this, Ash quickly commanded his Pokémon to counterattack.

"Goodra, Dragon Pulse."

Alain also gave the same order to Charizard, asking Charizard to stop Lysandre.

"Charizard, Dragon Claw!"

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

However, Alain and Ash didn't expect that Lysandre's strength was beyond their imagination.

After a fierce battle, Ash's Goodra, Noivern, Talonflame, and Hawlucha lost their ability to fight one after another.

Lysandre only had one Pyroar fall, and Gyarados was still alive and kicking.

Lysandre looked at Ash with a mocking face and said, "What's wrong? You said so many great things, is this all you've got?"

Ash's face was full of unwillingness.

"Gyarados, Dragon Tail!"

Lysandre commanded Gyarados to continue attacking Ash and his group. Suddenly, a pillar of fire appeared out of thin air and knocked Gyarados away.

Ash and Alain looked in the direction from which the pillar of fire came and found that the person who came was actually Elite Four Malva. It was Malva's Mega Houndoom who had just made the move.

Lysandre frowned tightly as he looked at Malva.

"Malva, what are you doing?"

Malva walked forward slowly and said, "Lysandre, stop!"

"What do you mean?" Lysandre questioned. He always thought that he and Malva were cooperating very happily, and that Malva also understood him.

He didn't expect that at a critical moment, Malva would actually betray him.

Malva said, "Lysandre, I have decided to bet on these children."

Lysandre couldn't understand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! What do you think these naive and ridiculous guys can do? Do you think the world will become better because of them?"

Malva replied, "I know that the world is definitely not beautiful now, but these children have made me realize that destruction is definitely not a good way to solve problems.

So... Lysandre, stop! After things are over, I will turn myself in."

Lysandre shook his head and said, "You're already crazy. I won't be like you."

Malva shook her head and said, "I'm not crazy. It's really difficult to change anything by relying on them, but isn't this the time for us adults to reach out to them? So I want to see what the world will be like afterwards."

Why don't even you understand me?

Lysandre lowered his head. From an angle that Malva couldn't see, his eyes were surging with madness.

After a moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Ash, Alain, and Malva, and said in an extremely crazy tone:

"Then I'll destroy you all together. You are all people who are not welcome in the new world!

Gyarados, Hyper Beam!"

As Lysandre's voice fell, Mega Gyarados opened its mouth and spat out a purple-black beam of light towards Ash and the others.

While Ash and his friends were fighting wits and courage with Lysandre, Angie was rushing to Lumiose City at the fastest speed.

On the aircraft, Angie asked anxiously, "Kimia, how long until we get there?"

Kimia was already sweating profusely. "Your Highness, don't worry, we'll be there soon, in about two hours."

Fortunately, Azoth is not too far from Lumiose City, otherwise Kimia wouldn't be able to make it even if she had more wings.

Angie urged, "Kimia, hurry up, faster!"

Kimia said helplessly, "Your Highness, it's already fast enough. Any faster and the engine will burn out."
