"Ding, opening Master's Gift Box. You have received the Book of Space-Time and the Azure Flute!"
A spatial rift slowly opened in the void. A book and a conch-shaped flute flew out from it and landed in Ash's hands.
The rift then silently closed.
In a space far away in the sky, a black figure suddenly opened its eyes.
"How could the door to the Hall of Origin open?!**" The red and black pupils flickered with a tyrannical and sinister light: "Could it be... Arceus isn't dead after all..."
With a thought, a strangely shaped Palkia appeared in front of it.
"Can you open the Hall of Origin with your current ability?"
"..." Palkia slowly shook its head.
"Useless!" A pillar of light blasted Palkia, knocking it heavily to the ground, but it didn't fight back at all. It just silently waited for instructions.
"You're just a fake, after all. Go on. I can sense that the space-time tunnel opened in Kanto. Find some reliable guys and cause some havoc..."
But Palkia still didn't move.
"Tch... not smart enough... Go to the world without light and release some of them!"
Hearing this, Palkia nodded and its figure disappeared.
After a long time, a whisper echoed in the dark hall: "Arceus... don't you love this world the most? If you truly exist in this world in some way, you shouldn't just sit by and watch..."
Azure Flute: The key to Arceus's room, the key to the stairs of the Hall of Origin. When played at Spear Pillar, those who meet the special conditions can enter the legendary resting place - the Hall of Origin.
Arceus's favorite instrument. It is said that it can make the Llama God dance.
Book of Space-Time: Arceus's diary. It records the history of the world's evolution. Later generations also have replicated versions that have been passed down among the people of Sinnoh to spread the supreme power and glory of the great lord.
Opening it requires a matching soul power and consumes a lot of energy. In fact, the pages are just stuck together from a certain Llama God's drool while it was sleeping and writing in its diary.
Truesight Ward: An upgraded item summoned by Ho-Oh's "photographer" ability. It is said to have been placed all over Summoner's Rift for only 75 gold each.
Effect: After use, it can improve the quality of one's pupil skills. Consuming extra soul power can penetrate the essence of all things, seeing through illusions and falsehoods.
"How do I use these things...?" Ash looked at the book, the flute, and... an eyeball.
The scene was a little weird.
"I remember, you have to place the ward somewhere, right?"
Ash held the crystal-like eyeball and slowly put it on his left eye. The next moment, a blinding light shone from the Truesight Ward. Ash then felt a warmth in his left eye, and his mind felt a little clearer.
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was exceptionally clear, and the world in his eyes was completely different.
He could see the roots of the plants in the flowerpot, the screws under the tables and chairs, and even the couple upstairs who were "getting it on."
"This is... X-ray vision?!" Before he could even marvel, a sharp pain came from his head.
Ash quickly turned off the spiritual vision and rubbed his sore left eye until it slowly recovered.
"It seems I can't use it for a long time... but with this..." Ash couldn't help but look at Misty and Ayumi.
The next moment, their clothes automatically disappeared, and their two fair, clean bodies were exposed to his sight.
Their slender waists, pert buttocks, long legs, and small, graspable feet... As they breathed, their "buns" slowly rose and fell. From Ash's angle, he could even see the sparse black grass in the valley.
"Hiss..." Ash took a deep breath and quickly averted his gaze. He muttered to himself: "So, there's a big difference between girls and women... especially little girls..."
"Ding, ding, ding...!" The light in the emergency room went out.
Nurse Joy pushed a stretcher out. Pikachu was still lying on it, but Pidgeotto had almost recovered and was looking at Ash from the head of the bed.
"Pikachu, how do you feel?" Ash looked at the lying Pikachu, whose front leg was already wrapped in a bandage.
"Pika~" The little mouse gave a human-like, comforting smile.
"Pidge~" Pidgeotto also recognized the boy who saved it. It spread its wings and flew from the bed to Ash's shoulder.
"You're okay too! That's great, Pidgeotto~"
Pidgeotto gently rubbed against his cheek. A scent that it really liked was coming from him.
"Bang!" Just then, a loud explosion sounded, and a huge hole was blown in the door of the Pokémon Center.
Amidst the smoke, two figures could be vaguely seen.
"Wha- what are you two doing?!" Nurse Joy asked.
The next moment, the familiar opening lines from the original series echoed:
"Since you asked so sincerely..."
"We'll tell you with great mercy!"
"To protect the world from devastation..."
"To unite all peoples within our nation..."
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth! That's right!"
After the opening speech, the smoke finally cleared. Ash looked at the three true protagonists with interest.
She had long, wine-red hair like a swirl. Her specially made white cropped jacket and ultra-short hip-hugging skirt showed off her slender waist perfectly. A pair of firm, bamboo-shoot-like breasts pushed the open jacket high. The smooth black stockings on her legs were tucked deeply into her short boots, and her voluptuous red lips held a hint of a smile.
It was the true body of the original series, Jessie (and the feminized James, lol).
James was holding a rose in his mouth and habitually brushed his blue bangs aside, leaning against the doorway.
In response to their supposedly brilliant entrance, Misty's comment was: "What weird people..."
Ayumi: "No, I think that Meowth is pretty cute~!"
And then, Officer Jenny's alarm was belatedly heard: "Warning, warning. Criminals have broken into Viridian City. Please be on high alert!"
"Are the police always the last to arrive...?" Ash was a little speechless. But then he remembered the cute Officer Jenny from before and felt a little relieved. Does having a big chest really consume some brain cells?
Jessie: "Are you Nurse Joy? Hand over all the Pokémon here!"
Nurse Joy's brows were tightly furrowed, but she still stepped forward and spread her arms to shield the beds behind her: "As a Nurse Joy, I will never compromise!"
Ash's eyebrows rose slightly. Mmm, good girls really do wear black lace!
Jessie: "Hmph, with that useless Chansey? Arbok, go! Use Poison Sting!"
James: "Koffing, use Tackle!"
"Pidgeotto, are you ready to fight?" Ash immediately looked at Pidgeotto on his shoulder.
"Pidge~!" Now that it had recovered, it naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Alright, use Gust!"
"Eevee, use Swift!" Ayumi also joined the battle immediately.
The two sides' attacks clashed in the air. The resulting gust of wind pushed Nurse Joy to the side. For a moment, no one could get the better of the other.
Ash vaguely remembered that in the original series, Pikachu blasted them off, which started their rivalry. But that required the help of a group of Pikachus in the power room.
With this in mind, Ash said: "Misty, you use water to hold them off. I'll be right back!"
Misty was stunned: "Huh? Use water? I can't do that!"
"Oh, come on! Use your Pokémon to use Water Gun!"
"Oh, oh..."
Leaving Pidgeotto to do its thing, Ash pulled Nurse Joy and ran inside.
"M-Mr. Ash, I'm very grateful for you protecting me like this," Nurse Joy said shyly, clutching her chest: "Even though you're very handsome... I have my duty, so I can't run away with you..."
"?" Ash's mouth twitched: "I was just asking you to lead the way to the power room..."
"..." Nurse Joy was stunned. Then her face turned visibly red: "Uh... please follow me."
"Go, my darlings! Staryu, use Water Gun!" "Eevee, Tackle!"
In the front, Misty and Ayumi were still resisting, but their current level wasn't enough to defeat Jessie and James.
Under the attacks of Arbok and Koffing, Eevee and Staryu were both injured and knocked back. Pidgeotto was also bound by Arbok's Wrap.
Facing the menacing Koffing and Arbok, Misty yelled: "Ash, where are you?! The beautiful Misty is in danger!"
"Cough, cough, sorry, sorry. Leave the rest to me..." Before anyone knew it, Ash had come out of the power room with a group of Pikachus.
He first took a big step and kicked Arbok away to rescue Pidgeotto. Ash then turned back and gave a gesture to the many Pikachus: "Alright, I'm counting on you guys!"
"Pika!" The Pikachus rushed onto the bed and "charged up" the Pikachu God.
The little guy then tore off its bandages and stood up.
Ash looked at it and smiled faintly: "So, can you fight?"
"Pika!" The little mouse's mouth curved into a slightly cruel smile.
"Good. Pikachu, charge up, Thunderbolt! Pidgeotto, use Gust to cover it!"
"What the heck... it's just a common electric mouse..." Jessie said with a bored expression.
James added: "It looks pathetic."
"Pika..." Pikachu continued to charge up its electricity. The expression on its face became more and more terrifying. Electricity leaked from its cheek pouches, forming small bolts of lightning.
"I have a bad feeling about this, meow!"
"Tch, you're a cat! How can you be afraid of a mouse? You're a disgrace to all cats..."
"Jessie, it seems Meowth is right... look..."
"Huh?!"
At this moment, Pikachu had finished charging. The air around it was filled with a sense of paralysis from the flashing electricity.
"Pika-chuuu!!" "Pidge-otto!!"
Before the two of them could react, a huge pillar of lightning as thick as a bucket, mixed with wind blades, enveloped them. The effect of the earlier Water Gun made the damage even more significant!
"Boom!" The lightning tore through the entire Pokémon Center, and the huge explosion sent the trio flying.
"This feeling is so annoying!"
"This Pikachu must be something else, meow..."
"Ding..." Another star appeared in the sky.
