Brock decided to stay at Dr. Nemu's research facility. Considering Brock's lifelong happiness, Ash and Misty didn't try to stop him. It's rare for Brock to not immediately confess his feelings, proclaiming he wants to spend his life with someone, but instead chooses to pursue them step by step.
If Brock stays here a little longer, with his homemaking skills, he should be able to win over Dr. Nemu.
As for Ash and Misty, once the Pokeball analysis is complete, they'll head to other islands in the Orange Archipelago to search for Lugia, and perhaps take a vacation. Brock did have a point, things are a bit freer without him around.
Even on the road, Ash and Misty wanted to walk hand in hand, but due to Brock's presence, they ended up separating after their fingertips constantly touched. Showing affection in front of a single person like Brock ultimately wasn't very considerate.
Mostly, they felt embarrassed.jpg.
Now that Brock is leaving, Ash and Misty can be more open with each other, which is a plus for them, though Brock's departure still leaves them somewhat saddened.
After all, he's been their traveling companion from the very start, accompanying them throughout the Kanto Region, experiencing the Quartz Conference, facing Mewtwo's counterattack... All these memories, they'll never forget, are deeply etched in their hearts!
"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of eyes are you giving me! I haven't left the group yet, don't have such a mournful look, okay! Even if I leave the team, it doesn't mean we'll never meet again. Your expression makes it seem like I've passed away!" Brock continuously teased Ash and Misty based on their expressions.
Although he was also reluctant to part ways with Ash and Misty, for both their futures and his own, the separation was inevitable.
A brief farewell is for a better reunion... Yet, those two's expressions seemed less like he was leaving the group and more like he abruptly disappeared! What does that mean!
"Ahem, don't mind such minor things... Right, Dr. Nemu, the analysis should be nearly complete, right?" Ash quickly diverted the topic.
"Yes, it should be done." Dr. Nemu said, standing up and heading towards the lab, while Brock stayed behind to clean up, even though he hadn't officially left the group, he seemed already assimilated.
The three assistants nearby were helping Brock with chores. After all, Brock was still considered a guest, and even if Brock stays, he wouldn't be familiar at first, so of course, they couldn't let him handle everything alone!
Preparing meals for you, cleaning up for you—does that sound fair? That's why Dr. Nemu had Da Nan and the others stay behind to assist Brock.
Returning to the research facility, the progress bar on the computer screen had already completed, and Dr. Nemu moved the mouse, clicked for details, and a large section of data unfathomable to Ash and Misty appeared.
So the two could only silently direct their focus towards Dr. Nemu, whose expression was serious as she looked at the data on the computer, her beautiful eyes emitting an unusual glow.
"This is... the power of gods! And not just a single god's power, but the power of two Legendary Beasts!" Dr. Nemu spoke, astounding them.
Ash wasn't overly shocked, as he had already known it contained Ho-Oh's power before heading to the Orange Archipelago. He just wasn't sure whose power the other belonged to.
"Two Legendary Beasts? Can we deduce which Legendary Beasts they are?" Misty asked curiously.
"Only from the nature of the power can we make guesses, because our understanding of Legendary Beasts is minimal. One possesses flames, the other carries winds... It's certain these two are of Fire Attribute and Flying Attribute Legendary Beasts, possibly the Three Divine Birds."
Even the most advanced machines can't directly analyze the source of power within the GS Ball, only infer the type based on the attribute power within the ball.
As for how the instruments detect the presence of Legendary power... It's because the power of Legendary Beasts is entirely different from that of ordinary Pokemon!
What's more, the two types of power within this Pokeball carry Divine Positions!
The Three Divine Birds also possess Divine Positions, and reside within the Orange Archipelago, but information on where exactly is currently unavailable.
The only knowledge is that the Orange Archipelago is not only home to the Three Divine Birds with Divine Positions, but potentially also the Sea God, Lugia, with Divine Positions!
However, there's been no tangible evidence so far, only random encounters or sudden sightings, with the creature disappearing quickly unless you had a camera over your head twenty-four hours a day, capturing it at the exact moment of appearance.
Upon hearing Dr. Nemu's words, Ash arrived at a similar conclusion to hers.
The Fire Attribute Beast should undoubtedly be Ho-Oh, while the Flying Attribute Beast... The existence on par with Ho-Oh.
Though the Three Divine Birds possessing Divine Positions are indeed powerful, neither their species nor their Divine Positions compare to Ho-Oh, making them unlikely suspects.
