Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 807 Holy Ashes and Phoenix King

On the dark stairs of the bell tower, a white-haired old man was climbing up breathlessly.

"Eh!!" The stairs under his feet twisted, and several dream monsters rushed down.

"Gugu, I see through it! Infernape, spit out flames!!" the old man shouted loudly.

"Gugu~!!" The old Gugu, with wrinkles all over his brows, widened his eyes and a red light suddenly radiated out.

Whoosh!! Wherever the red light passed, all the ghost-type Pokémon appeared.

Then, the old Fire Beast used all its strength, glared, and swept out a pillar of fire.

Boom! In the smoke of the explosion, two small dragons silently knocked a Haunter and a Nightmare directly into the shadows. Dragon Balto whipped up a dragon tail, and immediately became silent...

When the smoke cleared, the old man gasped heavily as he looked at the cleared passage, his arm held by the Fire Beast.

"I'm fine... keep going." An astonishing light burst out from the old man's eyes, continuously injecting vitality into his broken body.

Xiaozhi and the others followed silently behind him. This was his Rainbow Trial, and no one else could replace him.

"Grandpa..." Cleo's eyes were filled with tears as he followed the old man's steps firmly.

He took one step at a time, sweat dripping down his chin onto the wooden steps. It was a difficult road, but compared to Xiaozhi or the other Rainbow Heroes, it was already a relief.

Outside the Bell Tower, there was a torrential rain. Xiaozhi remembered the song he hummed when he, Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Pidgeot climbed up the treetops together on the day he just walked out of Pallet Town.

“Sunshine always comes after the storm, and after the storm... there is a rainbow~”

Finally, before he was exhausted, the old man stepped onto the last step and pushed open the door to the observation deck.

Huh~ The cool breeze after the rain blew, the old man staggered, and was helped up by the Fire Beast.

The wind stopped and the rain stopped, and a rainbow appeared across the sky.

Xiaozhi and the others looked up and followed the old man's gaze, staring at the horizon.

A long time~

Just as the old man's eyes gradually dimmed, Jie~!!

The cry of a phoenix resounded through the sky, and a colorful figure followed the rainbow to the top of the bell tower.

The old man trembled all over: "Phoenix King... I finally see you again."

Hanging in front of everyone, the Phoenix King nodded slightly, acknowledging the old man's obsession.

"You can no longer challenge Ho-Oh, but for your lifelong obsession, Ho-Oh has given you, the former Rainbow Hero, the dignity you deserve." Xiaozhi explained calmly.

"Thank you, Ho-Oh~" Tears welled up in the old man's eyes, and he gently hugged Cuckoo and Infernape beside him.

"Sorry... old fellas."

The old and frail Cuckoo and Infernape hugged their trainer without complaint, and everything was said without words.

Although the lifespan of Pokémon varies, it has been observed that the higher the level and the higher the energy coefficient of the Pokémon, the longer its lifespan.

The most significant improvement beyond racial limitations is lifespan!

In addition to the Dragon and Ghost types, even the Bug type Pokémon with the shortest lifespan has cases like Uncle Sakaki's Beedrill.

Since Sakaki was young, his Beedrill has remained unstoppable and shows no signs of aging.

This is the benefit of going beyond your limits!

Ho-Oh gently flapped his wings, and a warm current transformed into a golden glow that slowly spread down. A surge of vitality permeated the old man and the two Pokémon. While they hadn't reverted to youth, at least all their hidden injuries had been healed.

"Now, your grandfather and his old friends can enjoy their old age~" Souji couldn't help but sigh.

The Phoenix King is still full of warmth towards his believers...

After finishing the old man's questions, Ho-Oh looked at Xiaozhi with a searching gaze.

"Ho-Oh... please, I need some holy ash... just a little bit." Xiaozhi clasped his hands together and gave a flattering smile.

There's no other way. I have to ask someone to do something for me... and I can't carry two bags of fruit for Feng Wang...

Clio and his grandson were stunned. What a guy... He actually asked for something directly... Do you think Ho-Oh is your relative...

The next second... Ho-Oh revealed a hint of human affection. A ray of colorful light pointed toward the foot of the mountain not far away.

Xiaozhi understood immediately: "Okay, Souji, you guys wait here for me, I'll be back soon."

Xiaozhi directly sat on Steelix and followed Ho-Oh and left...

Serena took Soji and the other person to the top of the tower and filmed some video footage.

Grandpa Clio rubbed his eyes and said, "Did I just see Ho-Oh smiling at Xiaozhi?"

"Yes, I saw that too." Cleo nodded.

Seiko beside him smiled and said, "After all, Xiaozhi is also a Rainbow Hero, and he is the kind who passed the trial."

"So that's it!" The grandfather and grandson suddenly understood.

No wonder, the King of Phoenix looks at him like his own child...

Boom! Suddenly, a pillar of lightning and fire shot up into the sky from the distant foothills, and half of the mountain range was shaking continuously.

"Wow, that's quite a noise." Seiko and Souji exclaimed while watching the fun.

……

On the platform at the foot of the mountain, Xiaozhi looked at the half-burned clothes and looked at the Ho-Oh speechlessly: "Is it really that serious?"

Ho-Oh looked at Pikachu and Zeraora, nodded with satisfaction, flapped his wings, and flew away.

The two little guys cooperated and actually plucked two of its "life feathers". Ho-Oh did it as a favor and burned the two feathers into holy ashes and left them to Satoshi.

As for the Phoenix Fire that he sprayed at Satoshi at the end, it was simply because his eyes were too irritating, and he was staring at the feather on Ho-Oh's wings.

Good man, are you really going to pluck me bald?! I'll just give you a mouthful of Holy Fire.

Feeling the warmth of fire power radiating from his chest, Xiaozhi grinned. Is this charging his Phoenix Flame?

As expected of the Phoenix King, he's quite protective of his children...

Jie~ let out a joyful phoenix cry, and the Phoenix King disappeared into the sky.

Xiaozhi carefully put the handful of holy ash in his bag and clenched his right hand: "That's good, Brother Red is saved."

After returning to the Bell Tower and reuniting with Serena, Xiaozhi and the others rushed back to Viridian City overnight.

Looking at the battle-damaged version of Ash, Professor Oak was very pleased: "Good boy, thank you for your hard work."

"Hehe~ It's okay, Ho-Oh, give me some face." Xiaozhi rubbed his nose and smiled.

Xia Bo prepared the holy ash into an ointment and smeared it all over Chi Hong's arm. He wiped the sweat off his face and said, "You're lucky, kid. Your arm is saved."

Green Boss and Tokiwa Lilac and the others in the room all showed expressions of relief.

Qinglv patted Xiaozhi's shoulder and said, "Good boy, I owe you a favor."

Tokiwa Clove and Misty on the side: (⊙o⊙)?

Red grinned and laughed out loud: "Xiaozhi, thanks to you again. When I recover, we will have a good fight!"

Xiaozhi tilted his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Brother, you are repaying kindness with enmity, you know..."

Everyone burst into laughter. Chihong's gratitude was truly unique...
