Chapter 358: Solrock

After May rightfully earned the recognition of Tyranitar through a battle, Ash’s group set off towards Petalburg City once again.

However, before the group could even leave the forest, they ran critically low on water!

"Brock, is there really not a drop left?" Ash asked, looking at Brock, not wanting to give up.

Brock took out his canteen. "It’s gone. Not a single drop left!"

"Really? But I really want to drink some water too!" May also started to get anxious.

"Don’t worry. Since I, who am always well-prepared, didn’t bring more water, there is a reason for it..."

As he said this, Brock ran towards a certain direction in the forest and called for Ash and the others to follow.

Although they didn’t know what Brock was planning, at this point, Ash and the others had no choice but to follow along.

Meanwhile, on a mountain in the direction that Ash’s group was heading.

The Team Rocket Trio was busy boxing and packing up mountain spring water.

"Without the interference of the Ash and his group, today’s work is progressing really smoothly!" James sighed.

"That’s right, Meowth!"

After Meowth finished packing a box of water, it also started to celebrate.

"Oh, wait a second, I think I see the Ash and the others!"

At this moment, Jessie saw the figures of Ash’s group through the gaps in the trees.

"What?!"

James and Meowth immediately became nervous.

"What are you panicking for! The Ash and his group came at just the right time. This is our territory now. As long as we set up traps, the Ash and his group’s Pokémon will be ours!" Jessie fantasized.

"Oh, that’s right, the Ash and his group don’t know we’re here yet!" James said.

"Then let’s immediately prepare the plan to capture Pikachu, Meowth!" Meowth suggested.

"Actually, in this forest, there is a natural mountain spring that is listed among the top 100 famous waters for its sweet and delicious quality." Brock explained the reason to Ash and the others.

Before the group could find the place, they saw a Solrock wandering in the forest.

[Pokémon: Solrock]

[Type: Rock + Psychic]

[Gender: Genderless]

[Level: Elite Advanced]

[Ability: Levitate (Floats from the ground, thus avoiding attacks from Ground-type moves)]

[Potential: Elite]

[Moves: Tackle, Telekinesis, Hypnosis, Morning Sun, Cosmic Power, Flamethrower, Psychic...]

Before the group could get close, that Solrock suddenly disappeared.

Although Ash could sense that the Solrock was still in the forest, the Solrock’s movement trajectory was too erratic, so he couldn’t rashly leave the group.

Helpless, the group could only continue walking towards the mountain spring that Brock had mentioned.

However, when they arrived at the location of the mountain spring, they only saw a dried-up spring, with not a single drop of water left.

"Brock, did we come to the wrong place?" Ash asked.

May also looked at Brock with some suspicion, "That’s right, there isn’t even a drop of water here!"

"Logically, this should be the right place!"

As he said this, Brock took out a map to compare. He pointed to the village at the edge of the forest and said, "We didn’t go wrong. The village over there is proof."

"A village?!"

May looked as if she had seen a savior.

The architectural style of the village was somewhat peculiar, somewhat resembling the appearance of a Lotad.

When the group got closer to the village, they realized that this village also looked like it was plagued by drought.

"Strange, why is there no one in this village?" May asked in Telekinesis.

Brock looked at the exposed riverbed, "The river water here has also dried up!"

In order to find a water source, the group had no choice but to release their Water-type Pokémon.

Brock’s Mudkip and Lotad soon found a well. After everyone went over to take a look, their eyes were filled with disappointment; the well was completely dry.

Out of disappointment, Lotad accidentally fell into the well.

However, after Brock pulled it up, Lotad inexplicably evolved into Lombre.

"It’s the Lombre god, the Lombre god..."

Just at this moment, a Granny wearing a hat shaped like a lotus leaf came to the front of Lombre with an excited face, showing a look of devotion and knelt down directly.

May looked at the Granny in Telekinesis and asked, "Excuse me, what happened to Lombre?"

The Granny turned her head to look at May with a straight face, "Hurry up and stop talking, you must address it as the Lombre god!"

The Granny’s strange attitude gave May a fright, "Yes..."

"At this difficult time for the village, the water god, the Lombre god, has personally descended. It is truly..."

Listening to the Granny’s rambling, Ash and Brock were also very puzzled.

Brock asked, "May I ask what you mean by the difficult time for the village..."

"Solrock! It is Solrock that appeared along with the disaster!"

Before Ash and the others could figure out what was going on, the Granny shouted loudly:

"Villagers, everyone gather quickly!"

"What’s the matter, Granny?"

A girl with short green hair walked out of a house.

The moment he saw the girl, Brock’s confession passive was triggered, "I am Brock, may I ask..."

Jirachi saw this scene and couldn’t help but roll its eyes, teleporting Brock onto the roof of the house.

"Everyone, look!"

"The Lombre god!"

A group of villagers was immediately attracted by the Lombre standing on the well opening.

Under the confused gazes of Ash and the others, the group of villagers started dancing a strange dance around Lombre.

And that girl showed a helpless expression.

Ash and the other walked up to the girl and introduced themselves, "Hello, my name is Ash/May..."

"Oh, hello, my name is Mayu." the girl replied.

"Mayu, what does the Granny mean when she says Solrock appeared along with the disaster?" Ash asked, puzzled.

Mayu clearly didn’t understand either, so she looked at the Granny and questioned her, "Granny, are you talking nonsense again?"

The Granny put on a look of "I am right," "Everything I said is the truth, that’s just how it is!"

"I really can’t do anything with you. How about this, let’s sit down and talk about it slowly..."

At Mayu’s invitation, the group went into the house and sat down to slowly understand the sequence of events.

It turned out that two weeks ago, Solrock fell from the sky into the forest. Subsequently, the river water and well water that the village had been using gradually began to dry up, until the last few days when there wasn’t even a drop left. The source of the river was actually the dried-up spring that Ash and the others had found.

That spring had previously been considered by the people of the village to be the place where the water god, the Lombre god, lived, so the village’s faith was in Lombre.

Solrock appeared, and then the spring water began to dry up, so the Granny naturally pushed the source of the problem onto Solrock.

As the granddaughter, Mayu did not believe that all of this was Solrock’s fault, because she had investigated and found that the spring water had only dried up three days ago. Before that, it was just that there had been less rainfall recently, and the groundwater had not been replenished.
