Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Arriving
"Mom, Misty, I'm going to Professor Oak's Laboratory." After Ash hung up the phone, he returned and said something before preparing to leave.
"I'm going too!" Misty immediately stood up, wanting to go to Professor Oak's Laboratory with Ash.
She was worried that Ash would go there alone, or perhaps she had a premonition that Ash wasn't going to Professor Oak's at all!
Delia was also very worried about Ash, but she knew that she couldn't change Ash's mind. So, after hesitating for a moment, she nodded with a smile,
"Don't worry, Mr. Mime is here to protect me."
After a slight pause, Ash nodded slightly to Misty. He knew that even if he refused, Misty would definitely follow him, so he simply agreed to take Misty with him and leave her with Professor Oak.
"Charizard, it's up to you!" Ash asked Pikachu to jump on his shoulders, released Charizard, then turned over and sat on Charizard, and stretched out his hand to Misty.
Misty grabbed Ash's hand, jumped onto Charizard's back, and sat behind Ash. As for Togepi, it stayed by Delia's side.
"You two, be careful!" Delia looked at the two, the worry in her eyes evident.
"We will!" After slightly nodding to Delia, Ash patted Charizard on the head. Charizard immediately soared into the sky, flying towards Professor Oak's Laboratory according to Ash's order.
Delia looked at Charizard, who was gradually disappearing from sight, sighed deeply, sat down again holding Togepi, and Mr. Mime stood behind her like a guard.
"Must.... be safe..... Ash..... Misty...." Delia closed her eyes and prayed. Togepi also knew that the situation wasn't right, so it didn't struggle but stayed quietly in Delia's arms.
"There's even one..." In Professor Oak's Laboratory, seeing the appearance of the huge Alakazam, Professor Oak's eyes widened in astonishment.
Two huge Pokémon appeared at the same time, which was the first time he had ever seen!
But Professor Oak also discovered one thing: that the newly appeared huge Alakazam also had the same markings as Gengar.
"Where did I see this kind of markings?" Professor Oak fell into deep thought. Since these two Pokémon were now fighting, there was no need for so many commands here.
"It's strange..." Brock was also observing the two Pokémon. Although he couldn't see clearly because of the darkness, he could make out some details.
He had a feeling that these two Pokémon weren't just ordinary Pokémon.
"Professor! Brock!" At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, waking up Professor Oak and Brock from their thoughts. Charizard, carrying Ash and Misty, landed beside them.
The surrounding Laboratory personnel did not stop Ash from approaching; they were very familiar with him.
When Ash approached Professor Oak's Laboratory, he saw the two huge Pokémon fighting from above.
Soaring in the sky, Misty was surprised when she saw them. Obviously, Gengar and Alakazam shocked her.
"Ash, you're here..." His thoughts were interrupted again. Professor Oak looked at Ash and Misty, who got off Charizard, and nodded slightly as a greeting.
"Professor, I'm going to bring Professor Eve here; she should know something about these two Pokémon." Ash said to Professor Oak.
"Professor Eve... By the way, that's the direction of the archaeological team!"
Professor Oak suddenly realized that the direction where the two Pokémon were fighting was exactly where the archaeological team was excavating in the mountain region.
"Professor Eve just called me, and I need to go there now." Ash asked Misty to stay at the lab.
Although Misty was worried about Ash's safety, she also knew that following him would only be a burden, so she didn't insist on going.
Ash replaced the unused Pokémon in the Laboratory with Aerodactyl, who followed him. Then, he turned and left the Laboratory.
While Ash was rushing to the mountain region, Eve and her party were also fleeing towards the Laboratory.
They didn't dare to stop for a moment, afraid that if the two Pokémon were to decide the winner, they might turn their attention to the humans.
After all, they were not trainers, and their strength was not very strong.
"That's...Professor, Charizard is flying by overhead!" The golden flame on Charizard's tail was very conspicuous in the night.
A sharp-eyed member of the archaeological team spotted it and immediately pointed to the approaching Charizard soaring in the sky.
"Call for help immediately!" Eve couldn't see Ash on Charizard's back, but she vaguely saw someone sitting on it and immediately told those around her who hadn't seen Charizard to call for help.
"Hey! Here! We need help!" Several members of the archaeological team immediately waved their flashlights and shouted loudly.
Ash and Charizard had already noticed the moving light source, and when they approached, they heard the shouts.
They landed immediately and saw Eve among the archaeological team members.
"Ash!" Seeing that Ash had come, Eve was slightly relieved, and a weak smile appeared on her face.
"Pidgeot, Aerodactyl, it's up to you!" Ash didn't waste any time and released Pidgeot and Aerodactyl.
Pidgeot was fine, but the appearance of the fearsome Aerodactyl surprised several members of the archaeological team.
Eve was also very interested in Aerodactyl. Although she loved the Pokémoya civilization, Aerodactyl, a Pokémon that had survived since ancient times, was also a fossil that the archaeological team dreamed of excavating.
Aerodactyl, hearing that he was actually going to carry these humans, was a little reluctant. However, Ash was very persuasive, and in the end, Aerodactyl agreed to carry one person.
Pidgeot had to carry the other four members of the archaeological team, while Aerodactyl carried Eve and returned to Professor Oak's Laboratory.
"Ash, aren't you leaving?!" Seeing that Ash didn't plan to leave, Eve asked quickly.
"No... I'm going to stay and watch." Ash shook his head and looked at the two Pokémon still fighting in the distance.
"Then... you have to be careful!" Eve gritted her teeth and nodded slightly. "Follow Aerodactyl."
"Don't worry, there will be no problem." Ash nodded slightly without looking back.
"Charizard, Pikachu, let's go too. Let's end this battle!" After Eve and the others left, Ash said confidently to the two beside him, having already seen these two Pokémon's dream material.
He was sure he could defeat these two ancient Pokémon.
