Chapter 11: The Hero Chosen by the Phoenix King!
“Haha? Phoenix King? I don’t know about that!”
“But I did see a Pokémon I’d never seen before that day!”
He still had a Phoenix King feather in his hand!
So this was a very powerful Pokémon?
…
The Indigo Plateau Pokémon League.
Dama Lan Qi was also shocked by this result.
“Phoenix King! It’s actually the Phoenix King!”
Dama Lan Qi’s eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at the screen.
As the answer was announced.
The fleeting image on the screen began to play again.
This time.
Everyone could see clearly.
The legendary Phoenix King, draped in rainbow colors, flew over Ash’s head.
And it dropped a feather that shimmered with seven colors of light.
Ash picked up the feather.
As he looked at this unfamiliar Pokémon, a unique emotion filled his heart.
Standing together in the setting sun, Ash and Pikachu spoke with confidence.
“One day, we will face it together!”
“Pika!”
Pikachu didn’t doubt Ash’s words!
They would definitely meet again!
Watching Ash and Pikachu interacting on the screen, as well as the appearance and departure of the Phoenix King.
Who would dare say that the Phoenix King’s appearance wasn’t because of Ash?
No one dared to say it!
Unlike the ordinary trainers who only had a vague understanding of the Phoenix King.
Dama Lan Qi, the chairman, knew much more about the Phoenix King and its information.
In fact, hundreds of years ago.
The Phoenix King still communicated with humans.
The Ecruteak City in the Johto region was a city that had the deepest connection with the Phoenix King.
The legend of the Phoenix King can be traced back as far as seven hundred thousand years.
Ecruteak City has two towers, symbolizing the peaceful coexistence of Pokémon and humans.
The Phoenix King would occasionally appear in one of the towers called the Bell Tower, to rest for a while.
It would occasionally communicate with humans.
Until one day…
Humans waged war in order to obtain the Phoenix King’s power!
They fought and plundered each other!
Ultimately leading to the burning of the Bell Tower where the Phoenix King resided.
At the same time, three unknown Pokémon died in the fire that raged for three days and three nights.
The Phoenix King descended.
Using the incredible power of regeneration, it gave these three Pokémon a new life and incredible power!
Raikou – The embodiment of lightning!
Entei – The embodiment of volcanoes!
Suicune – The embodiment of the north wind!
After that, the Phoenix King never appeared before humans again.
The Phoenix King made these three newly born Pokémon its supervisors.
It hoped to see the day when humans and Pokémon truly coexisted peacefully.
Until that day arrived.
The Phoenix King would never choose to appear before humans again!
Even though the people of Ecruteak City realized their mistakes and rebuilt a new Bell Tower.
The transparent bells on the Bell Tower never rang again.
The Phoenix King left the human world forever!
But now…
But now!
The Phoenix King appeared before a rookie trainer!
Even more, it specially bestowed upon him a precious feather!
Dama Lan Qi thought and thought, and he began to hyperventilate.
Too much information!
His brain couldn’t process so much information at once!
“…Professor Oak, did Ash mention this to you?”
Dama Lan Qi thought for a moment, then asked Professor Oak in the video.
Professor Oak: “…”.
A rather awkward expression appeared on Professor Oak’s face.
“That boy Ash did mention this to me.”
Dama Lan Qi’s eyes lit up.
Tell me!
Tell me more!
This is the Phoenix King!
The spiritual symbol of the Kanto and Johto regions!
Under Dama Lan Qi’s expectant gaze, Professor Oak stammered and continued.
“Well… I mean, before this video came out, who would have thought it was real…”
Professor Oak spoke, his gaze meeting Dama Lan Qi’s.
A silent, awkward atmosphere spread between the two of them.
Dama Lan Qi: “…”.
Well… it seems to make sense…
Makes sense my *!
That’s the Phoenix King!
It’s the Phoenix King!
Dama Lan Qi couldn’t stay calm!
…
Similarly unable to stay calm was the Gym Leader of the Ecruteak Gym, Jasmine.
“Phoenix King… has the Phoenix King appeared again?”
“Then why didn’t it come back?”
Jasmine couldn’t understand.
Jasmine couldn’t understand.
Living in Ecruteak City, a place filled with legends about the Phoenix King, Jasmine was one hundred and twenty percent curious about the Phoenix King.
She insisted on practicing in Ecruteak City, hoping to one day catch a glimpse of the Phoenix King’s splendor!
However…
The Phoenix King did not choose to return to Ecruteak City!
Instead, it descended in front of a rookie trainer who had just stepped out of the starting town!
Jasmine was devastated!
“This guy… what’s so special about him!”
Jasmine’s eyes widened as she stared intently at Ash on the screen.
Trying desperately to find the reason for the Phoenix King’s appearance from Ash!
As the Gym Leader of Ecruteak Gym.
Jasmine knew even more legends about the Phoenix King.
“Legend has it that the Phoenix King will appear before trainers who are righteous and love Pokémon!”
“Trainers who have been recognized by the Phoenix King and received its feathers are generally called—”
