Chapter 128 Heading to Ponkan Island
Ash carefully placed the five flawed Pokémon Eggs one by one into the best incubation devices, then filled them with the Life Essence Liquid purchased from the system store, and clapped his hands, saying, "Alright, as long as they absorb all the Life Essence Liquid inside the incubators, they can hatch normally."
"Life Essence Liquid, what a special nutrient solution!" Tracy exclaimed.
"Ash, this type of nutrient solution doesn't seem to be available on the market," Misty said curiously.
"The production is very limited, and it's related to legendary Pokémon, so it can only be purchased within the Pokémon League."
Ash wasn't deceiving them; the Pokémon League indeed had nutrient solutions full of vitality, but they were not for sale and could only be applied for in certain quantities under special circumstances.
At this moment, Serena handed Ash's Pokédex back to him, "Ash, can you tell me what kind of Pokémon Phione is exactly? There's so little information in the Pokédex!"
"Phione is a special Pokémon that generally lives in Sinnoh. They have a very interesting habit: no matter how far they drift, they will always return to their birthplace when their life is about to end.
Phione is actually a special Pokémon born from the combination of Manaphy, the Mythical Pokémon known as the prince of the sea, and Ditto.
Because Manaphy is a unique Mythical species, Phione cannot evolve into Manaphy, but they look very similar and are both very cute," Ash explained.
Hmm… Phione is indeed only cute. That's its only notable feature; everything else is quite ordinary. With all base stats at 80, unable to evolve, and no exclusive moves, it's accurately described as a refugee of the sea.
However, Serena doesn't like battling, so raising a cute Phione can attract a lot of fans, which is where its value lies.
"Manaphy, the prince of the sea? A Mythical Pokémon? So, Phione is like Jirachi and them?"
All three showed excited expressions.
Ash shook his head and said, "Manaphy is a Mythical Pokémon, but Phione is not."
"That's really a shame," Misty said regretfully.
She had thought there might be a chance to witness the birth of a Water-type Mythical Pokémon.
"I don't think it's a shame at all. Phione is also very cute and no worse than other Pokémon."
Serena was very optimistic and didn't feel regretful because Phione was a refugee of the sea and not a Mythical Pokémon.
As if hearing Serena's praise, the Phione Egg in the incubation device flickered with a faint light, responding to Serena.
"It's glowing?!"
Everyone and the Pokémon showed shocked expressions.
However, the Phione Egg had no further reaction after that.
.....
The next day, Ash's group left Kumquat Island and set off for the next island.
Their next stop was Sunburst Island, an island where Crystal Onyx is found.
Because they were traveling by yacht, Ash didn't pick up the message in a bottle thrown by a little girl named Marissa on the island, unlike the idiot in the original story.
Of course, that message in a bottle wasn't wasted; instead, it fell into the hands of Team Rockets, who were trailing Ash's group.
Inside Team Rockets' custom pedal-powered Gyarados submarine.
"Eh, what is this thing?"
Jessie held the bottle and shook it twice, showing no intention of opening it to read the note inside.
James looked at the cap sealing the bottle and hesitated, saying, "Looks like a message in a bottle?"
"A message in a bottle? What's that?" Jessie looked at James in confusion.
"Just open it and see, you idiot, Meowth!"
Meowth snatched the message in a bottle, roughly opened the cap and tossed it aside, then poured out the letter inside and started reading.
He completely ignored Jessie and James, who were both annoyed by his actions.
"Oh! So that's it, an Onix made entirely of crystal is indeed very valuable." Meowth said, holding the letter and commenting.
Jessie snatched the letter from Meowth's hand, then picked up Meowth and questioned him, "Meowth, am I the leader or are you the leader?"
Seeing the enraged Jessie, Meowth decisively gave in, "Uh… you're the leader! You are!"
"Hmph!"
Hearing Meowth's words, Jessie's anger subsided considerably. She then began to read the contents of the letter.
A moment later.
"Target Sunburst Island, full speed ahead! We must catch the Crystal Onyx before Ash!"
Jessie shouted excitedly, while James and Meowth behind her were pedaling so hard their feet were almost smoking.
....
"Sunburst Island is just ahead!"
Ash shouted, looking at the island appearing in front of them.
"That's Sunburst Island! It looks like there are so many tourists!"
Serena exclaimed, looking at the scene of boats coming and going at the island's dock.
"Sunburst Island is famous for its glass craftsmanship. Every year, tourists from all over the world come here to visit, so the island's tourism industry is very developed. The rumors about the Crystal Onyx on the island have also attracted many Trainers to search for it," Tracy introduced.
While shopping on Kumquat Island, Ash and the others had heard rumors about the Crystal Onyx on Sunburst Island. Ash knew that this creature indeed existed, so he planned to take Serena and Misty to see it.
He didn't intend to catch the Crystal Onyx. This Onix is actually similar to the Giant Onix of Mt. Moon; both were formed due to special environmental conditions.
The Crystal Onyx's attribute has mutated. From its appearance, it might be Rock + Ice or Ground + Ice. Of course, a special Steel + Water type cannot be ruled out, as Mega Evolved Steelix also has diamond-like mineral structures on its body, and this Crystal Onyx is not afraid of water, even able to soak in it.
Most importantly, this Crystal Onyx seems to have almost become a god in the eyes of the glass artisans of Sunburst Island. Taking this creature away would have too great an impact on the entire island.
