Chapter 124 Island
The next day, early morning.
Ash started the yacht and headed towards the nearest Kumquat Island.
Serena looked at the bright sunshine and felt the comfortable sea breeze, exclaiming, "The weather seems really nice!"
"Yeah! This weather is perfect for a vacation," Misty echoed.
"By the way, Ash, which island are we going to next?" Serena turned to Ash in the cabin and asked.
"We'll go to Kumquat Island to resupply first, and then we'll go to other islands."
Kumquat Island is a famous commercial City in the Orange Islands, with a strong commercial atmosphere, so specialties from all over the Orange Islands can be seen on this island. Therefore, Ash planned to see if there were any opportunities to pick up some good things.
After all, the ocean is much more mysterious than the land. If Doctor Profesor Ivy could discover the GS Ball in the underwater ruins, there might be many good things on other islands or under the sea.
At this moment, Tracy looked through his new telescope in the direction the yacht was heading, "We can already see Kumquat Island!"
"Is that Kumquat Island? It looks like buildings floating on the sea," Misty said.
"That island's commerce must be very prosperous, there must be a lot of local specialties, right?" Serena asked curiously.
Tracy nodded and said, "Yes, that's the most famous commercial City in the Orange Islands. Although it might not be as good as Vermilion City or Lumiose City in the Kalos region, it still attracts merchants from the Orange Islands and various other regions."
As they were about to dock, Ash reminded, "There's a situation on this island, everyone should return their Pokémon to their Poké Balls first."
"Is something wrong, Ash?" Serena asked.
Ash frowned slightly and explained, "Hmm… there's a special Aura on the island that can affect a Pokémon's will."
He remembered part of the plot; this should also be Team Rockets's doing, but it probably wasn't the Team Rocket Trio.
"Aura? Ash, are you saying you're a Psychic?"
Tracy had also heard rumors about the Aura Guardian during his travels.
"I do have Psychic abilities. The situation on the island is a bit serious, but it won't affect Pokémon inside Poké Balls. It's best to release them after the problem is resolved."
Hearing Ash's words, Misty also returned the Cleffa in her arms to its Poké Ball. Serena and Tracy also recalled their Pokémon on the deck.
Tracy saw that Ash had only recalled Deoxys and Ralts, so he asked, "Ash, don't you need to recall Jirachi and Togepi?"
"I can use Aura to create a barrier to protect them from being affected. I asked you to recall yours because I'm afraid the Pokémon might run around, and I wouldn't be able to look after them all."
Inside a factory on Kumquat Island.
Two men and women in black Team Rockets uniforms were observing the situation on Kumquat Island through monitors. These two were Cassidy and Butch, the rivals of Jessie's team.
"Oh, it seems like some formidable new prey has arrived!" Cassidy saw Ash's group approaching the shore.
"Hmm? This kid…" Butch looked at Ash's face on the monitor and couldn't help but recall the scene where Ash and others had sent them to jail before.
"How nostalgic!" Cassidy saw hope for revenge.
Since their previous operation of using the Pokémon breeding house to defraud others of their Pokémon was disrupted by Ash's group, they had constantly thought about revenge. However, unfortunately, after Giovanni had them bailed out of jail, they were sent to various places to carry out missions and had not encountered Ash and others since.
"Don't do that, Voltorb!"
"Stop it, Magnemite!"
"Quickly return to your Poké Ball!"
Sure enough, as soon as Ash and the others landed, they saw three Pokémon on the dock preparing to attack their Trainers.
Seeing the people in danger, Serena said to her Pokémon, "Gardevoir, go help them!"
"Gardevoir!"
Serena's Gardevoir released a powerful Telekinesis, immobilizing the three Pokémon that were about to attack.
"Just immobilizing them isn't enough. They still harbor strong hostility. Gardevoir, Psychic."
Ash had his Pokémon finish them off.
Seeing the three Pokémon faint, he said to the three Trainers, "Quickly return them to their Poké Balls now."
The three looked at Ash gratefully, then pressed their Poké Balls to recall their respective Pokémon.
Just then, Officer Jenny arrived on a three-wheeled scooter, "Has it been resolved? Thankfully, no major chaos occurred."
"Officer Jenny, there must be many other places on this island where incidents have happened, right?" Ash asked.
"Yes, I don't know what's going on, but recently, everyone's Pokémon have suddenly become disobedient. Cases of Pokémon attacking humans happen frequently, and today, it has affected the entire City," Officer Jenny said with a worried expression.
She saw that Ash's Pokémon seemed perfectly fine, "By the way, your Pokémon don't seem to be affected. Could I trouble you to Assist with the investigation?"
"No problem."
If Ash remembered correctly, this time it should be Team Rockets using Drowzee to cause trouble. As long as they found the device that amplified the Hypnosis signal, they would be able to find those two guys.
This wasn't the first time Ash had encountered the commotion caused by Drowzee's Hypnosis. He had encountered it once before in Vermilion City, but that time it was caused by a group of wealthy people suffering from insomnia who tried to use Drowzee to help them sleep, and it didn't cause a big commotion.
"Then I'll leave it to you!"
Officer Jenny came and went in a hurry. Before her words even finished, she twisted the throttle and sped away.
"Ash, do you have any clues?" Misty asked.
"Misty, this incident, we actually encountered it during our previous travels. Do you remember how you caught your Psyduck?" Ash reminded her.
"Psyduck? Ash, do you mean someone is using Drowzee to do bad things again?"
Misty recalled some of her humiliating memories. Back then, to Assist with the investigation, she voluntarily let Drowzee hypnotize her and performed what a Seel playing in the water looked like in front of Ash.
"Drowzee, huh? That seems to be a Pokémon very skilled in Hypnosis. If this is really caused by Drowzee, someone must have used an instrument to strengthen Drowzee's Hypnosis. As long as we find the signal emitter, we can find their location," Tracy analyzed.
"That sounds very interesting! So traveling with Ash is this fun!"
Serena was increasingly longing to travel with Ash, but unfortunately, she hadn't reached the age standard yet. Even if she traveled, at most, she couldn't catch other Pokémon.
Furthermore, for her dream, Ash specifically asked Diantha and Yashio, the teacher of Elle, the current Kalos Queen, to tutor her. So Serena knew that she could only temporarily take a two-month vacation with Ash for now.
