Chapter 333 A door that even the champion can't break through? Check out the God-level Wave Missile!
It must be said that the journey to Team Galaxy's base went very smoothly, almost too smoothly.
Including the time spent getting there and searching, they encountered almost no obstacles. Even the extremely bad weather did not affect Ash and his friends' progress. After all, with Mewtwo around, how could weather of that level possibly affect them?
With Mewtwo's help, they successfully infiltrated the entrance to Team Galactic's submarine. Generally, diving equipment is required to reach this place, but only if the sea is calm. If the waves are churning, even Team Galactic members cannot return to their base.
Unless they had a Gym Leader-level or higher Psychic or Water-type Pokémon to assist them, Ash and his friends arrived at Team Galactic's submarine with virtually no obstacles thanks to Mewtwo's help.
With facial recognition from the planet, they successfully infiltrated Team Galactic's base.
The interior of a submarine is a highly precise and extremely compact metal cylindrical world, like a "steel maze" compressed to the extreme.
Ash and his friends could already tell how huge the submarine was from the outside, but when they came in, they couldn't help but marvel at the size of the interior space. Living in a place like this, even underwater, shouldn't feel too oppressive.
"Where should we go next?" Kona's beautiful eyes shifted slightly as she looked at Ash, letting him make the decision.
In this place, Ash's Aura has a natural advantage; he should know exactly where to go.
Ash closed his eyes upon hearing this, then suddenly opened them a moment later, pointing to the right and saying, "Here, my Aura is blocked over there. If I'm not mistaken, that should be where Cynthia is being held."
The only thing capable of blocking his aura power is a god-level force, so Ash instantly determined the direction.
Ten minutes later, led by Ash, the group turned left and right. When they encountered a door that needed to be opened, they had Hugo perform a facial recognition verification. Hugo, who had the highest authority in the Team Galactic submarine, could pass through all the iron doors inside the submarine that required verification.
Along the way, they encountered many Team Galactic members, but Mewtwo's psychic powers made them seem invisible, and it was impossible to see them with the naked eye.
The group moved freely inside Team Galactic's submarine, and even though the bound Pokémon was unwilling, he had no choice but to cooperate. The closer Pokémon stayed to Ash and the others, the more shocked he became.
Why didn't all those cameras capture them entering the base? Why did the Galactic Team members act as if they didn't see them, even though they saw their Supreme Commander tied up?
Countless questions arose in Huoxing's mind. She knew that all of this must be related to Xiaozhi, but she had no clue how Xiaozhi had managed to do it.
As Ash got closer and closer to where Cynthia was being held, Starry became a little anxious. But she knew that no matter how anxious she was, it wouldn't help. Even if she made a sound, it wouldn't reach the outside world. She had already tried it unintentionally earlier.
Now they can only pray that Pluton has some kind of advanced technology to detect Ash and his friends' arrival, otherwise Team Galactic will really suffer a huge loss this time. Not only did they fail to capture Lugia and Lugia, but they also had to give up the Sinnoh Champion, whom they had finally managed to imprison and use as a bargaining chip, and even lose two of their Team Galactic executives.
It's like losing both your wife and your army!
If I had known better, I wouldn't have tried to find Ash. Instead, I should have dealt with Lugia first. With their god-like power, it would have been a piece of cake for them to take down Ash.
To put it bluntly, they underestimated Ash too much, thinking he was just a kid, so they rushed straight to Ash's location without thinking, resulting in a complete defeat.
But who would have thought that between Lorelei and Ash, the latter would be the more difficult trainer to deal with? Isn't that ridiculous?!
Anyone would think Ash is more difficult to deal with, right? One is a champion with the title of Elite Four, while the other, although he won the League Championship, is actually just a rookie trainer who has only been in the industry for less than a year. They are worlds apart from champion-level trainers.
She chose a time when Lorelei was away to strike directly at the heart of the enemy, only to discover that the opponent possessed strength comparable to a Champion-level Pokémon—wasn't that cunning?
Amidst the despair in the eyes of the star, Ash and his friends arrived at a massive iron gate. This was their destination: a spatial prison imbued with Palkia's spatial power!
"Alright, this is the last door, Star, you know what I mean, right?" Lorelei and Ash exchanged a glance, and after receiving confirmation from Ash's eyes, Lorelei tugged at the rope in his hand, pulling the tightly bound Star forward.
"This door requires not only a face, but also a fingerprint and a password. I can't open it in my current state." Huo Xing pouted and then reluctantly explained how to open the door.
"Then I'll untie you. Don't even think about trying anything funny." Lorelei nodded at Ash, and Ash waved his hand, tearing apart the thick rope that had bound Star so tightly.
They weren't really afraid of what tricks Hosei might play, since they had already taken all of Hosei's Pokémon. Although she was one of Team Galactic's four executives, without Pokémon, she was just a woman with a bit of presence.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she couldn't possibly pull any tricks.
Huo Xing twisted her wrists, which were stiff from being tied up, and then walked to the door. She frantically pressed a series of numbers with both hands, making people wonder if she was just randomly pressing them. Would a normal person set a password with more than twenty digits?
However, after Huo Xing's series of swift and powerful actions, the tightly closed door began to slowly open.
Ash, Lorelei, and the others were overjoyed to see this. If they could rescue Cynthia, they would gain another powerful new member to their team.
However, when the iron gate was opened halfway, the white light that was emanating from the surroundings suddenly turned red, followed by a rapid sound that exploded wildly in everyone's ears!
"Is this an alarm? What's going on?"
"That's what she did! She's definitely up to no good!" Xiaoxia gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with extreme hostility as she looked at Huoxing. It was obvious that the sudden alarm was related to Huoxing.
Her seemingly random keystrokes must have triggered the base's alarm, and now the half-open iron door is slowly closing.
Ash's expression hardened, and he placed his hands in front of him, instantly forming a bright blue energy ball.
"Aura Sphere!" With Ash's cold shout, the azure energy ball in his hand drew a dazzling arc in the air and struck the closing gate.
"It's useless. Even a champion-level attack couldn't break through this door. You'll just have to wait to be—"
"Boom!!" Before Huo Xing could finish speaking, the missile struck the seemingly indestructible gate she had mentioned squarely!
A shockwave visible to the naked eye spread out, and the iron gate, which even a champion-level weapon couldn't penetrate, was directly reduced to countless fragments that flew out. The ruins of the iron gate grazed Huo Xing's face, leaving a clearly visible scratch, but Huo Xing didn't care at all. Her eyes were now glazed over, and her face was filled with disbelief.
"How—how is this possible—that's a door that even the peak champions might not be able to open, and it was opened with just one strike!! How is this possible!!" Panic echoed throughout the corridor. Huo Xing simply couldn't believe that the high-tech iron door, which combined the Galaxy Team's most advanced technology and was infused with divine power, had actually been blasted open by a human!
And it wasn't just a simple blast open; it completely shattered the gate. Was that guy named Xiaozhi really human? Could he be some kind of mythical beast with god-level strength, transformed into a human and sent to experience life in the mortal realm?!
"I knew you'd come, Ash." A cool voice came from behind the broken door.
"Tap! Tap! Tap!" The sound of high heels clicking on the ground rang out, and the mist gradually dissipated, revealing the figure behind the door. She wore a jet-black coat, had long golden hair, a tall and voluptuous figure, and a face like a goddess. This person was none other than the long-lost Sinnoh Champion, Cynthia!
Cynthia was surrounded by Garchomp and a host of other Pokémon. Undoubtedly, while inside, Cynthia released all of her Pokémon, partly to prepare for a possible sneak attack from Team Galactic, and partly because Garchomp and the others needed to find a way to break through the spatial barrier.
However, Ash and his friends had already arrived here before Cynthia found a way out. Cynthia firmly believed that even if she couldn't find a way out, Ash would definitely be able to find her.
Indeed, in Cynthia's mind, the possibility of Ash arriving was even higher than the possibility of the League approaching, and that was certainly the case.
"Miss Cynthia, are you alright?" Seeing that Cynthia was safe and sound, Ash excitedly ran to her and asked with a mixture of worry and excitement on his face.
"It's okay. I really can't get out of that place, and I can't send messages out either, but they can't do anything about me. Apart from not being able to take a shower, it's quite comfortable inside. Just consider it a rare relaxing vacation~" Cynthia raised her slender fingers, winked, and said playfully to Ash.
She had been locked up inside for almost a month. If it were anyone else, a month without anyone speaking to them or sending any news from the outside world would probably have caused them to break down mentally. But Cynthia was different. She had a more resilient spirit than most people, and she had no thoughts of despair whatsoever.
That seemingly indestructible spatial barrier had actually begun to weaken slowly over time and under the attacks of Pokémon like Garchomp. Even if Ash didn't come, Cynthia would still find a chance to get out.
However, by the time Cynthia appears, Team Galactic's conspiracy may have already succeeded, and at that point, something irreversible might happen.
Therefore, Ash's arrival is still very important.
"Cynthia, you're really optimistic. You've been trapped inside for almost a month, and you seem perfectly fine. You truly deserve to be the Sinnoh Champion." Lorelei also expressed her sincere admiration for Cynthia.
To be honest, if it were her, being in that kind of confined environment for a month, even with enough food, might cause irreversible damage to her mental health.
Unable to perceive the passage of time or make any contact with the outside world, it would be strange if they didn't develop mental problems over time.
"Since we can't change the facts, we can only be optimistic. Speaking of which, are we surrounded now?" Cynthia smiled and glanced around. Unbeknownst to them, they had been surrounded by Team Galactic members.
Just now, Ash's Aura Sphere not only shattered the door, but also blasted the corridor to pieces. As a result, Team Galactic members also came up from the surrounding area. They all wore a high-tech goggles with some light flashing inside, and it was unclear whether they were analyzing or communicating.
After the initial shock of the shattered iron gate, Hoss seized the opportunity to rush into the midst of the Team Galactic members who were surging forward. At this moment, she was right behind Ash and the others, with a large group of Team Galactic members standing behind her, their faces showing a fierce expression.
"So what if you rescue Cynthia? None of you are leaving here today!"
"Huoxing, you're really getting worse as you get older. You actually led the enemy to a place like this, and even let the Sinnoh Champion escape. If that person finds out, you might lose your position as an executive." After Huoxing's harsh words, a gloomy voice rang out.
Ash and the others turned their attention to the source of the sound, and saw an old man wearing a white coat, with a balding head and gray hair, slowly walking past the Team Galactic members.
Wherever he went, all the team members would instinctively make way for him, which showed that he was a high-ranking and powerful figure in the Galaxy Team.
"Heh, this isn't your fault. Who told you to send me over without thoroughly investigating that guy's background? If the higher-ups blame us, neither of us will escape punishment, Hades." Huo Xing sneered, completely unconcerned about the bald man's threat.
This somewhat bald researcher is none other than the undisputed head of this base—Pluto!
After learning the other party's name, Ash's gaze towards Pluton turned hostile: "You're Pluton? You're the one who turned Lugia into that form, aren't you?!"
Faced with Ash's questioning, Pluto shrugged and said nonchalantly, "So what if it is? Although I don't know how you managed to fully integrate that power, since you've willingly walked into my trap to return the test subject to me, I'll gladly accept it."
Ash: !!!
Experimental subject? This guy has absolutely no respect for Pokémon; he treats them like lifeless tools! These words undoubtedly enraged Ash!
