Chapter 962 Heading to the Place Where Heaven and Earth Meet
"Hoo~" Ash exhaled a breath of cold air and looked into the distance.
"It seems to be getting colder and colder." Rico rubbed her hands together.
“It’s been going up. This area is very remote and at a high altitude,” Fried said as he stepped out of the driver’s seat.
"However, this also means that we are getting closer and closer to that place." Xiao Zhi nodded.
"Get ready, it's time for us to land." Old Man Landau pointed ahead.
The mountain peaks shrouded in rolling clouds and the small town enveloped in rainbows seem like a sacred realm on the horizon.
"It feels like you could reach out and touch the sky here," Dian Dian exclaimed, completely captivated.
"Let's go, get ready," Ash instructed, leading the three little ones and Freed aboard the Asagi.
Molly and her team remained on standby as backup.
The group slowly walked towards the town, and along the way they could see self-sufficient people living together with their Pokémon.
"It seems to be a relatively isolated place where people live self-sufficiently with their Pokémon," Fried remarked.
“There are no traces of Lac element nearby, so it seems Lucius’s seal is quite secure.” Ash nodded.
Rayquaza only flew this far before returning to its Pokémon, so Ash and his friends will have to find Lacoa's exact location eventually.
Fortunately, it didn't take Ash and his friends too much effort. Just as they entered the town, they heard an angry voice.
"Get out! You bunch of outsiders. Those who came with Black Rayquaza, don't bring disaster to our town!" A blue-haired boy looked at Ash and his friends with a wary expression.
"It's inevitable to encounter kids like this in such a quiet town," Ash waved his hand dismissively.
"Little friend, why do you say that Black Rayquaza will bring disaster?"
"My great-grandmother told me! She wouldn't lie to me. Besides, my buzzing bat disappeared as soon as you arrived, and it's all your fault!" the boy retorted angrily, as if it were his own fault.
"Yoha! You can't do that." A kind-looking middle-aged man stepped forward to stop the boy from saying hurtful things.
"Young man~" Ash stepped forward and placed his hand on the top of the other's head. "You have no right to wrong anyone if you haven't experienced it firsthand."
As the blue aura spread and rose around Ash, a faint aura flickered in Ash's eyes.
"I see, it's over there." Ash stood up and pointed to the cave in the distance: "Iron Warrior, go and bring that Nompt back."
Whoosh! The light distorted, and the Iron Warrior teleported away.
Boom!! The sound of an explosion echoed through the cave, and then the light around Ash twisted again. Iron Warrior held a naginata in one hand and a trembling Noctua in the other.
"Nuobat!" The boy excitedly stepped forward and took the Nuobat from Ash's hand.
"Really, where did you run off to?" Yuha asked worriedly, hugging the buzzing bat tightly.
"This child accidentally wandered into the territory of other Pokémon in the cave during special training. After being attacked, he panicked and ran into a deeper place, which is why he went missing," Ash explained with a smile.
"How did you know?" Yuha looked at Ash in surprise. Ash pointed to his heart: "Your Aura told me."
"So, I was wrong. I thought it was because Black Rayquaza would bring disaster, but it turns out it was because of my carelessness?" Yhwach's face turned red, and he bowed deeply to Ash and the others: "I'm so sorry!"
"Forget it, we didn't take it to heart." Roy waved his hand dismissively.
"Yes, it's good that the buzzing bat has been found," Rico comforted her thoughtfully.
"Thank you, travelers from afar. May I ask what brings you here?" Yuha's father asked curiously.
“We are looking for Lakua. Does anyone know of any places around here?” Fried asked directly.
"Lakuya? Never heard of him. But I did see Black Rayquaza once, that kid's great-grandmother did."
"Dad, let's invite everyone to our house so that Great-Grandma can tell them the story!" Yuha excitedly suggested.
"In that case, everyone, please come to my house for a drink of water," Yuha's father warmly invited.
"Then it would be impolite of us to refuse." Fried nodded, and the others followed closely behind, heading towards the Yuha family's house.
Only Ash glanced back meaningfully, curled the corner of his mouth slightly, and turned to leave.
In the corner against the wall, an electronic camera slipped away as quietly as a tiny insect.
"Tch~ Still as perceptive as ever, Mr. Ash..." Spinner murmured in a courtyard hidden among houses not far from town.
“Spinner, something’s happened. It seems that Amegio and the others haven’t been arrested,” Argate warned.
“Ignore him.” Spinner frowned. “Speed up your work.”
“Eighty percent of the transfer process is complete.” Agette sneered. “The advantage of computers is that they can be controlled remotely.”
Now, you are a shareholder beyond the legal definition of a company.
As the top conglomerate in the Pardia region, Beyond Corporation signifies privilege!
Now, even the police in Padiya cannot arrest a CEO of this size without cause.
"Lord Ji Bing regards money as dirt, and we manage the operations of all the companies."
"We're doing this for the company's good." With a broad smile, Spinner's words were full of veiled sarcasm.
"The team has returned, and the enhancement materials have been delivered." Agate picked up a suitcase.
“Very well, let me see if that powerful champion can withstand this epoch-making element.” Taking the briefcase, Spinner’s eyes gradually became manic.
As for absorbing Lak elements myself, sorry, I only sell that stuff, I don't absorb it.
In a dilapidated SUV, Amegio leaned quietly against the passenger seat, while Hansen, in the driver's seat, floored the accelerator.
Through Hansen's words, Amegio also learned the whole truth and the true nature of the Lac element.
Torn between family ties and justice, he found himself in a difficult situation for the first time.
"Don't force yourself." Hansen glanced at the silent Amegio. "With that leader personally intervening, even if the sky falls, it won't matter. What he asked me to tell you is that the path you choose in the future is entirely up to you."
Amegio raised his head, his gaze gradually hardening: "I understand..."
“Young Master…” Konia and Gil asked worriedly.
"Don't call me 'Young Master' anymore." Amegio shook his head. "From today onwards, I am who I am, Amegio. Not Amegio of the Exploration Team, nor the Young Master of Beyond Company."
"Are you two still willing to stay with me?"
Konia and Gil exchanged a glance, then smiled nonchalantly: "Of course, Emegio!"
"Let's go, I'll stop Spinner's ambitions myself!"
