Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 181: Praying for Rain in Juniper Town

The cracked land and dried-up well, the Slowpoke Well on the outskirts of Hinoki Town, is a scene of desolation.

"Strange..." Xiaozhi frowned at the scene in front of him.

This is already within the town limits of the Pi Town, but I didn't see a single Slowpoke...

"I feel like the atmosphere is weird, Xiaozhi, be careful." Makoto also spoke worriedly.

"Anyway, let's go to the Pokémon Center in Hinoki Town first," Souji reminded.

The three of them continued forward and entered the streets of Huipi Town. They could see that most of the people walking on the street were listless, and a few shrunken fruits were placed in front of the small shops that were occasionally open.

Souji asked the owner of the vegetable store and found out that it hadn't rained here for a month.

The town's hope, the Slowpoke Well, has dried up. The most despairing thing is that the Slowpokes have disappeared.

Overnight, all the Slowpokes in the town seemed to have disappeared.

"This is so weird." Chengzi frowned.

"Go ask Miss Joy, she should know something." Xiaozhi said uncertainly.

I walked along the street to the Pokémon Center, luckily it was still open.

Ding~ The electric door opens, and Xiaozhi and the other two step into the Pokémon Center.

"Welcome to the Hinoki Town Pokémon Center. We are sorry that the center currently cannot provide drinking water or a place to take a shower.

If you need to recover your spirit and eat, please wait a moment." Miss Joy bowed her head apologetically with chapped lips.

"It's okay, we just need to take a break and collect some information." Xiaozhi took out a large bottle of spring water from his backpack and handed it to Miss Joy. These were specially collected when they encountered good water in the wild.

In the past, Gang’s mother also had this habit, and Xiaozhi learned it very well.

"This, for me?" Miss Joy asked uncertainly.

"We still have some, you can ease the immediate need a little." Xiaozhi nodded.

"Thank you so much." Miss Joy picked up the bottle and took a sip.

Then, he tightened the bottle cap carefully and said, "Leave these for the injured elves and the children nearby to drink."

"Xiaozhi, can you help them?" Chengzi asked with some concern.

"Dragonite should be able to temporarily ease the crisis here, but we have to wait until we investigate what happened here." Xiaozhi nodded slightly.

"Miss Joy!" At this moment, a little girl with twin ponytails ran in from the door: "My grandpa hasn't come back yet, can you help me find him!"

"Chie, come and have a drink of water first." After pouring a glass of water for the little girl, Miss Joy sighed and said, "Miss Junsha has already searched everywhere around the town. Mr. Steel should have left Hinoki Town."

"No! My grandfather is at the Well of Slowpoke. He went there to ask the Slowpokes to make it rain." Chihui shouted loudly.

Xiaozhi came forward curiously: "Are you saying that your grandfather went to find Slowpoke?"

“Well, there’s a legend circulating in this town that as long as the Slowpoke raises his head and calls upon the dark clouds, it will bring rain.

That’s why my grandpa wore a Slowpoke costume and begged the Slowpokes to make it rain.” Qianhui nodded seriously.

"But all the Slowpokes are gone. Maybe Mr. Steel has gone somewhere with the Slowpokes." Miss Joy said uncertainly.

"Xiaozhi, what do you think?" Souji looked at Xiaozhi. He felt that this matter might not be that simple.

"Seeing is believing." Xiaozhi touched his chin and nodded, then looked at Qianhui: "Qianhui, are you sure that your grandfather went to the Well of Slowpoke?"

"One hundred percent sure!" Qianhui nodded.

"Is that so~" Xiaozhi said with a serious look: "Let's go investigate."

"Really? Thank you, big brother." Qianhui immediately became excited.

"It's okay. I also want to ask Master Steel to make me a few Poké Balls with round orange fruits. You have to say a few good words for me when the time comes." Xiaozhi blinked.

"Yeah, no problem!" Qianhui nodded happily.

"Everyone, things have been a bit uneasy in Juniper Town lately, so you'd better be careful," Miss Joy warned.

"Speaking of which." Xiaozhi asked in confusion: "With so many turbulent things happening in Hinoki Town, what is your gym trainer doing? It seems that he is nowhere to be seen."

“Well…” Miss Joy said awkwardly: “Abi said that the rain is due to natural weather conditions, and we just need to wait.

His botanical garden needs to take care of a lot of bug-type Pokémon, so he has been staying at the gym and has not gone out..."

"Is this guy... also considered a gym trainer?" Souji complained in disbelief.

You know, gym trainers are supported by an entire city, and their job is not only to train new people, but also to guard the area. In the league's regulations, the administrative power of the gym owner is even equal to that of the mayor.

Whether facing terrorists or natural disasters, gym leaders are the backbone of a city.

But this thing is actually staying in its own botanical garden and rotting away?

Xiaozhi curled his lips and said, "Don't worry about him. Once we've dealt with this, we can go to the gym and beat him up to vent our anger."

"I agree!" Chengzi agreed with clenched fists.

"Well, without further ado, Miss Joy, please notify everyone to move out all the containers that can store water. I will get some rainwater for everyone first, and then I will go find Mr. Steel." Xiaozhi said, turning around.

"Really?" Miss Joy's eyes lit up.

You know, in Chengdu, apart from the champion Yulongdu, no one has the power to call the wind and rain on a large scale.

Even the gym master of Yanmo City, Xiaochun, who is also a member of the Dragon Controlling Clan, does not have this ability yet.

"I can try." Xiaozhi nodded.

Although, Haxoron can manipulate the weather, but the power is not enough to cover the entire town.

But the cute Dragonite is different, he can really call the wind and rain.

Soon, under the broadcast of the Pokémon Center, people began to walk out of their homes with washbasins and water tanks, looking at the man on the roof of the Pokémon Center with hope.

"Stand back, I'm going to start showing off." Xiaozhi threw Dragonite's Poké Ball directly into the sky. Not only that, in order to increase the force, he also arranged for Blastoise to assist on the ground.

"Oh~" Dragonite flew out of the Poké Ball, turned around and knocked Xiaozhi down~

Plop... Xiaozhi was thrown to the ground in embarrassment. He smiled helplessly and rubbed Dragonite's chin fiercely: "Alright, alright, you can act like a spoiled child later. Go and ask for rain first. Blastoise will cooperate with you."

"Oh~" Dragonite nodded obediently and flapped its wings to fly high.

"Cam~" Blastoise took out his sunglasses and put them on again, looking like a big boss turtle.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu held two small fans and cheered for Xiaozhi and the others.

"Then~" Xiaozhi stretched out his hands: "Dragonite, give me wind and dark clouds!"

"Oh!!" Along with Dragonite's roar, the sky suddenly became windy and cloudy.

Crack! Lightning flashed across the sky and the wind started to blow.

"Dragonite, Blastoise, pray for rain together with all your might!" Xiaozhi shouted loudly.

"Kami!!" Blastoise's two cannon barrels roared, and the azure energy cannon was fired.

Buddy, do you know what it means to make the weather yourself if you want it to? If it’s a thunderstorm, I’ll make it!

As Dragonite flew, the dark clouds grew thicker and thicker, spreading all around. Finally, with a loud crash, heavy rain fell from the sky!

"A miracle!"

"Rain, it's raining!"

"saved!"

Cheers continued to erupt from the crowd, and Xiaozhi, with his arms outstretched, looked like a savior.

In the botanical garden of Hinoki Gym, a figure napping on a tree raised his head in confusion: "Oh, it's raining? I told you, it's just natural weather, why are these people making such a fuss..."
