Leaving the new beautiful lake, Ash and his team finally arrived at the Pokémon Center at the foot of Mt. Silver.
"Ash, you have a message left for you!" Nurse Joy reminded Ash as she sent their Pokémon over to them after being checked and healed.
Ash was not expecting to receive a message at this Pokémon Center. After all, Professor Elm knew what he wanted and would come over to him when he was ready.
After checking the message, it turned out to be from Professor Oak's. Ash had already guessed what it was about.
"Professor Oak!" Ash dialed Professor Oak's number and was quickly able to get in touch with him.
Molly immediately rushed over and called out sweetly, "Grandpa Oak, we are at Mt. Silver right now!"
"That's great! The mural you sent back really supports your conclusion about the powers of a Slowking. I have published a supplementary paper in your name, but the reward will probably reach be given to you soon, hahaha!" Professor Oak laughed. The old professor extremely happy about them.
When Professor Oak's laughter stopped, Molly suddenly said, "Grandpa Oak, didn't you promise Big Brother that if Big Brother caught Entei, Suicune, and Raikou, you would give Big Brother a big reward?"
"Yes, of course—" Professor Oak responded, and then suddenly looked at Molly and then at Molly on the other end of the phone with very wide and confused eyes.
He saw that the two of them were so synchronized that they showed the starry eyes of money! (Nami eyes.)
These two not even related siblings really look more and more alike over their journey!
"You... Ash, have you really caught Entei?" Professor Oak couldn't believe his own words, "Ash, why don't you teleport Entei's back to me quickly? Entei, this will be the first time I've seen the real Entei with my own eyes!"
Ash and Molly looked at each other and smiled sweetly. It was really worth the call and surprise to see Professor Oak's expression.
After successfully receiving Entei from Ash via the Pokémon Center Transporter, Professor Oak looked at Ash with satisfaction and pride, "By the way, Ash, how is Larvitar doing right now with you guys?"
"Of course, here, see it for yourself!" Ash quickly moved the long cabled camera away from his face to where Larvitar was. Professor Oak could now see that Larvitar looking around not far away from where Brock was standing. After all, it had never seen so many humans and Pokémon in one place before.
"It seems like there are a lot of people gathered there!"
"Yes, they are all Trainers and Pokémon attending the Silver Conference this year, as well as the many tourists that are here for the thrill of the battles from the sidelines!" Ash nodded and smiled.
"Everyone rests here before going to Silver Town. We also need to rest here before going to the Pokémon Sanctuary and see of Larvitar!" Molly continued on for Ash.
The Silver Conference was just about to start, and Trainers from all over the world have gathered in this Pokémon Center. Everyone is making their last adjustments to their Pokémon and exchanging experiences with each other for a better outcome.
"I see, Larvitar seems to be more confident now that he traveled with you guys for some time, Ash, you did a good job!" Professor Oak didn't notice it himself right now, but now he is always praising Ash in everything he does.
"By the way, after you get to Mt. Silver, go directly to Ranger Mason in the Pokémon Sanctuary. We have already told her in advance that you guys are going to be going there soon! And just wait for your award."
After hanging up the phone, Professor Oak came to the backyard with the new Ultra Ball Ash sent to him, "Come on out, Entei!"
"Entei!"
Entei's roar resounded throughout the courtyard, and suddenly quick gallops were heard by everyone in the Lab Backyard, Suicune and Raikou rushed over at an unimaginable speed to meet the third member of their trio.
This scene alone was enough to make Pokémon Professor excited to act like a child. Professor Oak kept murmuring, "Hahah, well done Ash! Well done!"
How could Tracey miss this rare scene? He quickly took out his drawing board and drew the scene of the three Legendary Beasts gathering together and the Professor just rolling on the ground for no reason.
Not only that, but there are also Zapdos flying in the clouds over in his sketch!
The three Legendary Beasts nodded to each other, dispersed again, and Entei now walked deeper into the backyard. He found Typhlosion and Houndoom who were training with each other, and then he for no reason blasted them with a Flamethrower of his own!
The three Legendary Beasts were now responsible for the training some of Ash's Pokémon according to what Ash tells them via his Slowking.
Ash tried it before, but it is very difficult to increase the Bond Value of a Legendary Pokémon. Suicune's Bond Value was very high when Ash first caught him. After all, he had been following Ash from the beginning of his Johto Journey, but even after traveling for so long together, their Bond Value has only reached the level of 245/255.
But Ash did not give up on them yet, thinking about what kind of situation it would be like if he and his three Legendary Beasts could complete their Bond Evolutions all at the same time.
After Ash hung up the phone, a Trainer came over and said, "Hello, did I heard correctly, are you going to participate in the Silver Conference? Would you like to have a Pokémon Battle with me?"
Ash will never refuse an invitation for a Pokémon Battle!
In the battle arena just behind the Pokémon Center, both sides have already taken their positions!
"Okay, then Satchel versus Ash, the battle will be a one on one. Let's begin the battle now!"
"Okay, it's up to you, go Magby!" What Satcgel sent for his Pokémon was a fiery red Pokémon. It was not big, about the same height as Larvitar.
"It's a Magby, then it's your turn for a battle, Dratini!" Ash without a second thought sent out his new Dratini. Recently, he has focused most of his energy on training his Dratini. Whenever he encounters a battle invitation on the road, he will almost always send out his Dratini as his other Pokémon's are too strong or young for a battle!
Seeing Ash actually sending out a Dratini, Satchel was very surprised, "I didn't expect that besides Larvitar, you also have a Dratini. I really have to envy that luck of yours!"
"But even if it's Dratini, my Magby and I will not lose to you and your Dratini!" Satchel said with a very high amount of fighting spirit, "Magby, get ready and use Flamethrower!"
The Magby species were born with the ability to easily spit out flames even compared to other Fire-type Pokémon's. The attack power of this Flamethrower was also pretty decent if Ash thought about how it is still in the first stage of his evolution line. For some of the audience on the sideline, it was hard to imagine that such blazing flames come from such a small Pokémon!
"Stay out of the range of that Flamethrower, then use Blizzard!"
However, ash's and his Dratini did not panic at all in such a case. Dratini's figure disappeared in an instant, and the Flamethrower lost its target and just hit the ground instead of the Dratini!
Then the cold Blizzard suddenly blew towards the Magby from the right side, freezing it in an instant!
"Magby, don't be afraid, I know you could get out of it, I trust you!"
The little Magbys body is filled with lava as their blood, so their body temperature is often around 600 degrees. Every time it exhales and inhales, embers will appear from its mouth and nose.
How could a Ice-type of all the types stop it? A bright red light shone in the ice, and it thawed in just a few breaths!
This was considered a warm up, literally!
The real battle began now. Ash smiled slightly and said, "This is what I have been waiting for, Dratini, use Aqua Tail!"
Restraining a Fire-type with a Water-type move is a obvious thing to do, a water tail were thrown towards the little Magby created by Dratini's tail!
"Magby, let us use Double Team!"
Unexpectedly, this Magby actually had such a move to use. Suddenly more than Magby's appeared and surrounded Ash's Dratini. Aqua Tail was also avoided by Magby because of this!
"Now, Magby, use Dynamic Punch!"
The ability of this Magby to use Dynamic Punch must be inherited from one of his parents, which means that one of the parents of this Magby should be from the Machamp Evolutionary Line.
This is the special move of the Fighting-types. They use all their strength and pour it in on one single punch. It should be said that Satchel's timing when commanding his Pokémon was very precise compared to most Trainers!
But he didn't know how fast Ash and his Dratini can react!
"Avoid it!"
Before Dynamic Punch was even ready, Dratini suddenly disappeared and disappeared in front of Satchel and the his Magby!
"Where?" Satchel - suddenly panicked, looked at his Magby who was also at a loss.
Ash smiled calmly, "Aqua Tail!"
It was Aqua Tail again, but the Dynamic Punch that Magby used all his strength just now. With one move, the user can't move for some time!
With a "boom" sound, large amount of water vapors suddenly began to appear!
But in the middle of that water vapor, the light of evolution suddenly began to lit up!
"Magby, you have finally evolved!" Satchel's specially found Ash to fight just to make his Magby take the last step and evolve into his much stronger evolution form.
The little Magby had now evolved into a Magmar at this moment, becoming bigger and more powerful compared to his last form. Now seeing this, Satchel had more confidence at his chances in this years Silver Conference!
