Pokémon: Simultaneous time travel, this Ash is too versatile!

Chapter 81 The Origin of the Damaged Pokémon Egg, The Scumbag Who Used the Pokémon Egg as a Bullet's Shield.

"They are Misty and Brock, the Gym Leaders of Cerulean City and Pewter City, and also my travel companions. They have helped me a lot since I started my journey!" Ash introduced Misty and Brock.

Xiaochun bowed to the two of them and then introduced herself, thus establishing a preliminary acquaintance between them.

Afterwards, Xiaochun invited Xiaozhi and the others to come home for dinner. It was just a matter of adding three more pairs of chopsticks. Xiaochun also wanted to chat with Xiaozhi about how he had been doing these past few years.

So the group circled back from the research institute to Dr. Sakuragi's house.

At Dr. Sakuragi's house, the group met Dr. Sakuragi's wife, Yoshino.

Koharu and Yoshino look about 80% alike. Both of them have emerald green eyes. Yoshino wears glasses and has long, reddish-brown hair tied into a braid that hangs down to one side, giving her a very wifely look.

Besides Yoshino, there is also Koharu's younger brother, Sota, who is ten years old and not yet old enough to travel, but under Professor Sakuragi's influence, he has already learned a lot about Pokémon.

After Ash and the others arrived, he quickly blended in and started chatting with them.

The dinner table was filled with laughter and chatter. Professor Sakuragi and his family and Ash and his friends acted like longtime relatives, without the slightest sense of awkwardness.

Xiao Zhi recounted his journey over the past month, saying that what he experienced in that month was more exciting than what others experience in a year.

Aside from Ho-Oh and the chat group, Ash didn't hide anything and told everyone everything.

Professor Sakuragi and the others were also quite surprised by this. Ash's journey seemed to be a little different from other people's journeys. It was just too exciting.

First, I encountered a shiny Ralts, and then I encountered the three starter Pokémon, two of which were unwanted by others.

Even Dr. Sakuragi couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly lucky this person was.

As a professor, he knew how low the probability of finding a shiny Ralts was. Not to mention in the wild, even among trainers and the League all over the world, it was difficult to find a single one.

Not to mention that Ash's Ralts hatched from a Pokémon egg that fell from the sky. This can't be described as luck; it's as if their meeting was destined.

Furthermore, judging from the current level of Ralts mentioned by Ash, this Ralts' potential is definitely not low.

This luck is unbelievable!
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone went to the sofa in the living room. Yoshino was clearing away the dishes, while Brock was helping out. Satoshi and Misty wanted to help too, but Haru told them that there wasn't enough room for everyone in the kitchen, so they moved to the living room instead.

"...Professor Sakuragi, what's going on with Riolu? Why did the Pokémon egg turn into that shape?" After sitting on the sofa, Ash finally had time to ask the question that had been on his mind.

Generally speaking, Pokémon eggs are carefully protected whether they are in the hands of humans or Pokémon. Moreover, Pokémon eggs are different from chicken eggs; they are still somewhat hard.

Ordinary drops, such as rolling off a table, will not break it.

Ash was absolutely certain that the crack in Riolu's Pokémon egg meant it had suffered a severe blow.

If the fairy egg were in Professor Sakuragi's hands, he shouldn't have made such a basic mistake.

When the topic of Pokémon eggs came up, Professor Sakuragi and Haru, who were sitting on the sofa, immediately looked grim, as if Ash's words had touched on some unpleasant memories.

Seeing this, Xiaoxia quietly nudged Xiaozhi's waist. Having experienced a lot, Xiaozhi now had some emotional intelligence. After seeing their expressions and Xiaoxia's reminder, he immediately shut his mouth and decided not to ask about it anymore.

However, Dr. Sakuragi spoke up at this moment: "To my shame, I trusted the wrong person, which is why the fairy egg turned out like that."

"Um...it's okay. If it's something you want to forget, then it's better not to say it."

“No, Ash, you should be considered Riolu’s trainer now, so you have the right to know about this.” Professor Sakuragi shook his head and then began to explain the reason why the Pokémon egg broke.

Five years ago, he organized a summer camp activity, which usually takes children aged 8-12 to go out and play, and deepen their understanding of elves.

Ash knew about that summer camp, but he happened to be at another summer camp, so he didn't go.

An unexpected incident occurred during that summer camp.

Xiaochun also attended that summer camp, along with their neighbor, Xiaohao, who was a good friend of Xiaochun.

Xiao Hao is quite arrogant. He often feels that he is not on the same level as his peers in terms of intelligence and behavior, and he likes to do things to attract attention.

Like showing off his knowledge of spirits, which he learned from Professor Sakuragi, to the boys and girls, thus eliciting cheers from them.

In fact, as Dr. Sakuragi's daughter, Haru knows more than Go, so in Haru's eyes, Go's behavior is somewhat childish. However, a ten-year-old child is just at the age of childishness.

This behavior might make people feel a little uncomfortable, but it's not exactly repulsive.

However, it was precisely because Dr. Sakuragi didn't take Go's personality to heart that he did something that he would regret for five years.

On the day he went to summer camp, he happened to receive a Pokémon egg sent from Rota City.

The elf egg was mailed from the main city of Rota City, Ordron City, and it belongs to the current queen of Ordron City!

This elf egg is very important, as it relates to a legend in the city of Ordron. However, the elf egg has been unable to hatch for a long time. No matter whether it is soaked in nutrient solution, carried around, or any other method, nothing has worked for the elf egg.

So the higher-ups in Ordron City discussed it and finally decided to give the elf egg to the doctors outside for research.

Since Professor Sakuragi was relatively close to them, and was a well-known professor with some connection to them, plus Professor Oak was his mentor, they figured that if Professor Sakuragi couldn't figure it out, they could have him give the Pokémon egg to Professor Oak for further research. Therefore, they decided to hand the Pokémon egg over to Professor Sakuragi.

In her letter, Queen Irene wrote that the elf egg had been in their hands for several months, and this was the first time they had ever seen an elf egg that had not hatched after so many months.

After obtaining the fairy egg, Professor Sakuragi studied it every day, including when he went to summer camp.

However, just as he was studying the Pokémon egg, a boy in the camp seemed to have gone missing. Just as Professor Sakuragi was about to take the Pokémon egg to find the boy, Go volunteered to watch the Pokémon egg, so that Professor Sakuragi could go out and look for the boy without worry.

Professor Sakuragi thought for a moment, considering that no Pokémon would come to the camp and there was generally no danger. In addition, considering Go's mature behavior, he handed the Pokémon egg to Go.

However, when Dr. Sakuragi returned with the missing persons, there was no trace of Go and Haru!
This really worried Professor Sakuragi. How come he found one person but two others have disappeared?
This summer camp trip was fraught with difficulties.

So he repeatedly emphasized that the remaining people absolutely could not move, and then ran off to find Xiaochun and Xiaohao.

Finally, Dr. Sakuragi found Haru and Go a kilometer away from the camp, and they were being chased by a flock of scorpionbirds.

Professor Sakuragi quickly released his personal spirit to rescue them, which led to an unexpected scene...

Just as Xiao Hao was about to be pecked by Spearow, he actually took out the Pokémon Egg in his hand to defend himself!
The sharp beak of the Fiery Sparrow struck the Pokémon egg directly, and the impact caused a crack to appear at the tip of the egg!
……

"...That's why the Pokémon egg broke. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left the Pokémon egg there, and I shouldn't have trusted...sigh." Professor Sakuragi's face was full of sorrow and regret.

Now he dreams about it every night, then wakes up in a fright, filled with regret that clings to his heart like a leech.

Ash and the others fell silent upon hearing this. No wonder Professor Sakuragi had that expression on his face when he talked about this, and so did Haru.

It turns out that Xiaochun was also involved in this incident.

"Why would that guy named Xiaohao go to that place?" After a long while, Xiaozhi couldn't help but ask.

Professor Sakuragi clearly told Go to stay in the camp and look after the Pokémon eggs, so how did that guy manage to run outside the camp area? Not only did he run out, but he also took Haru with him.

Not only that, the most disgusting thing about that guy is that when he was attacked, he actually used a Pokémon egg to block the bullet!
The flock of savages that he provoked not only failed to take responsibility, but also caused the death of an innocent life.

That's right. In Ash's view, that was the death of an innocent life. Even if there was a clear lake to keep it alive, that Pokémon egg was no different from being dead.

If he hadn't come to Sakuragi Research Institute today, that elf egg would probably have lost its life very soon.

The culprit behind all of this is that guy named Xiao Hao.

After hearing what Xiaozhi said, Xiaochun's expression became even more gloomy and downcast: "It's all my fault, I couldn't stop him... because everyone was curious about why Dad brought a Pokémon egg to summer camp, and Dad explained the reason."

"After learning the reason, Xiaohao wanted to hatch the elf egg on his own and shock everyone, including his father. That's why he volunteered to help his father keep the elf egg safe."

"Then he took the Pokémon egg into the forest and tried to hatch it using some folk remedy he'd come up with from who-knows-where. He tried many methods but couldn't hatch it. Finally, in anger, he threw a stone into the forest, which hit Spearow on the head..."

As Xiaochun recounted the story, everyone learned the cause and effect. To put it simply, it was because that guy named Xiaohao was driven by vanity and wanted to show off by hatching Pokémon eggs, which led to this series of events.

Because of vanity, the Pokémon egg was taken to the forest. Because of its arrogance and narrow-mindedness, it angrily threw a stone at the head of a Spearow, which triggered the Spearow's revenge. And because of its selfishness, it used the Pokémon egg as a shield in front of itself.

If that thing had just one less inferior quality, the Pokémon egg wouldn't have turned out like this.

"Where is that guy?" Ash asked in a somewhat cold voice.

Whether it was out of his love for Pokémon or the inexplicable connection between him and Riolu, Ash couldn't contain his anger.

Even though it happened five years ago, Xiaozhi was still furious. What was the difference between that guy and Dayou? They were both scum and degenerates!

"It's gone." Professor Sakuragi's voice was slightly cold, but Ash and the others could still hear the slight anger in his tone.

"Why did it disappear? That guy did something like that, shouldn't he be held responsible?!" Xiaoxia frowned slightly, her words filled with strong dissatisfaction.

"He disappeared because he didn't want to take responsibility. It's like he vanished into thin air. Even his parents can't find him." Yoshino came out of the kitchen, wiping his hands with a tissue, his tone full of annoyance.

It seems that Dr. Sakuragi's entire family dislikes the person named Go.

"That Pokémon egg is an extremely important Pokémon to the Queen of Ordron City, and it has extraordinary significance. So even though Goh is only ten years old, he still has to be punished accordingly. The League's punishment is to permanently disqualify him from becoming a trainer and to never own a Pokémon again."

Dr. Sakuragi recounted the punishment for Go.

Although he was only ten years old, he already had normal cognitive abilities and could take responsibility for his mistakes. However, because of his young age, he was not imprisoned, but his qualification to become a trainer was permanently revoked.

This punishment is indeed quite severe for someone who wants to become a trainer, but it's still not as bad as jail time.

"However, after learning that he was going to be punished, that guy went crazy and insisted that it was the fault of the flock of scorching birds and had nothing to do with him. Of course, such a statement could not be accepted, and then not long after... he disappeared." Dr. Sakuragi clenched his fists, and finally, a hint of anger was revealed on his face.

He would think about this incident countless times afterward, wondering why he had trusted that guy and why he hadn't seen through his true nature!
So when he saw Ash touching the Pokémon egg today, he immediately developed PTSD, and even hallucinated Ash as Goh.

Fortunately, Ash and Goh are not the same kind of people at all. One saved the Pokémon's life, while the other almost ruined that Pokémon's life.
