At noon, the inspection of Dragonite was finally completed. Besides the injuries he sustained from the battle with Pikachu, he also had some hidden injuries. Now the Joy sisters were treating him along with Chansey, while Professor Oak and Professor Kukui were communicating with Dragonite with the help of Meowth.
"I see, you can change your size freely. How did you get this ability?"
"Ugh~"
"Oh? He says he learned it in ancient times, meow. He can't do it now!"
Professor Oak nodded after hearing Meowth's translation and then asked, "So, are you referring to ancient Pokémon or the Dragonite species?"
"Woo~"
"He says it's the Dragonite species, meow!"
Hearing that it was the Dragonite species, Professor Oak nodded and said, "If it's a Dragonite, it'll be a lot easier. I happen to know a family that has a connection with Dragonites. You can visit them with Ash later."
"Woo~"
Meowth was stunned after hearing this and then said, "Um, he said he hopes his descendants will be outstanding. Otherwise, he will find a female Dragonite or a Dratini to produce offspring, meow..."
"..."*N
Giovanni looked at this old-fashioned Dragonite speechlessly. He was thinking about whether to use this to taunt a certain guy who called himself a Dragon Master. But after thinking about the fact that the Gigantamax Dragonite belonged to Ash, he decided to forget it.
"But it seems that Gigantamax Dragonite is the ancestor of all Dragonites. I wonder what the Dragon Tamer clan will think. They claim to have a close relationship with Dragonites, but the ancestor of Dragonite was captured by someone else. Humph, no way! It's too funny! True Bird, help me remember this. I'll use it to laugh at them later."
"Yes! Boss."
When Ash woke up, he found himself in a tent, lying on Nana's lap. Ash looked at Nana and asked, "What time is it now, Nana?"
"It's noon. Are you hungry? Do you want me to ask someone to bring you some food?"
"Okay. I'm actually a little hungry." Ash got up from Nana's lap. Although it was very comfortable to lie on Nana's lap, he had more important things to do. He needed to check on Pikachu and Dragonite.
"How is Pikachu doing?"
"Don't worry, he's awake. He should be playing now."
"That's good. I'll go check on Dragonite..."
"Nana, is Ash awake? Staryu and I brought some food... Ash, you're awake?"
Misty and Staryu walked in with two portions of food. When Ash saw that they brought food, he said, "Since the food is here, I'll eat first. Thanks."
"You're welcome."
After Ash and the others finished their meal and went outside, they saw Professor Oak and Professor Kukui by Dragonite's side, with Meowth as their translator.
"I mean, Professor, don't you think you should give Meowth a break?" Ash looked at the two Professors speechlessly. They probably hadn't even eaten yet.
"Ah? We'll be done soon. We still have some questions to ask."
"Sorry, Meowth needs to rest. Come on, Meowth, you can rest now."
Meowth, being Ash's Pokémon, of course listened to Ash. He smiled at the two Professors and then walked over to Ash. Ash looked at Gigantamax Dragonite and asked, "How are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"Woo~"
Dragonite shook his head, indicating that he was fine. Ash thought for a moment and then asked Joy, "Joy, are there any hidden injuries in Dragonite's body?"
"Yes, there are quite a few."
"I see. Then, there's nothing else we can do..." Ash muttered as he took the backpack Pikachu handed him and rummaged through it, then took out a small box.
"This is something new I made. I don't know if it will work for Dragonite. Dragonite, do you want to try it?" Ash opened the box, revealing several small balls. Gigantamax Dragonite smelled the balls and immediately became excited. He stared intently at a blue ball inside. Ash understood what he meant, so he took out the blue ball and said, "Open your mouth!"
"Woo!"
As Ash threw the ball into Gigantamax Dragonite's mouth, he immediately ran away with Pikachu, Nana, Misty, and Staryu, shouting as they ran, "Quick, evacuate! It's coming out!"
Hearing Ash's words, everyone started to evacuate. However, one person didn't hear it, it was Brock who had just returned.
"Huh? What's going on? Dragonite seems strange."
Puu!!!
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Accompanied by Brock's scream, Dragonite vomited a lot of dirty blood and also defecated a pile. Brock happened to be standing behind Dragonite when he stood up, SO... everyone can imagine Brock screaming and being showered with Dragon-type fertilizer.
Ash heard Brock's heart-wrenching scream and frowned. He said, "No, those hidden injuries and dirt should be very smelly!"
"So smelly ahhhhhhh!!!"
With another scream, Ash said to Nana, "That's right!"
