In the end, it was only thanks to Mewtwo, summoned by Ash, that they were able to manage to get Ho-Oh to a safe place.
That's the Pokémon League's headquarters in the Kanto region, with the most stringent defenses, capable of even stopping legendary Pokémon attacks...
Of course, that's true, but if faced with an attack from several top-tier legendary Pokémon at the same time, even if the Pokémon League headquarters summoned all the Elite Four champions from various regions, it would still be impossible to stop them.
Being able to hold off a single high-level divine beast is already the pinnacle of human ingenuity. This is because divine beasts of that level represent a rule of nature; without an equal to restrain them, they truly have the potential to cause world-wide destruction.
...
The Mist Council.
At this moment, many people's expressions underwent a dramatic change. Some lowered their eyes in deep thought. Others turned to stare at Xiao Zhi, lost in thought. Still others sat on the bronze chairs, their hearts pounding, unable to calm down.
"What an unimaginable battle!" Huang Rong murmured, silently wiping the cold sweat from her forehead. However, when she looked at Xiao Zhi, her expression was filled with amazement. "Xiao Zhi... if you brought the standard six Pokémon, you would be considered top-tier among the council's powerful members?"
"I admit it, Ash is no longer a little idiot," Tony Stark said sincerely.
"What the hell are you talking about, you bastard!" Ash glared angrily at Tony Stark. But Tony Stark didn't reply.
Ying Zheng remained silent. He had always thought that Xiao Zhi's strength might not be very strong, but now he knew... he was very wrong.
Ash is definitely the most underrated member of the council.
“Actually, it’s not entirely my doing,” Ash said with a sigh after calming down. “Because I discovered that while Pokémon can’t be brought into the Council Space… they can be released during the Training Month.”
At this point, Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "If it weren't for the Training Moon, I wouldn't have been able to make such rapid progress in such a short time!"
"I see." Ying Zheng nodded in realization; that made sense now.
"An absolutely spectacular battle." Kaguya Houraisan suddenly spoke, her voice earnest. "Those jet-black beings... are they called divine beasts?"
"I am very interested in them... I wonder if my power of eternity and fleeting moments can have any effect on them?"
Feng Yuan remained silent. His expression was serious. Were there all sorts of dangers in other worlds too? That was normal; where in this world was there any place that was 100% safe?
“I only have one question,” Conan’s eyelids twitched a few times, “What’s going on with those mythical beasts that have been corrupted by darkness…?”
"I don't know either! But after thinking about it for a long time at the League headquarters, it belatedly came to my senses... It must be related to the invasion of the evil god." Ash clenched his fists, his face filled with self-blame and anger.
"Most likely." Accelerator nodded slightly.
Asuna Yuuki remained silent, her expression dazed. She recalled the information she had received from others and bit her lower lip. A world invaded by an evil god?
She had seen Pokémon and knew how gentle they were... but even a world like this couldn't escape being invaded. Could her world escape it? It seemed like a very obvious thing.
"I have to get stronger," Asuna Yuuki muttered to herself, her gaze hardening.
To protect their parents and loved ones, and to protect their world...
As the only member of her world to join the council, Asuna Yuuki vaguely understood that she might be her world's only hope. After a moment's hesitation, Asuna Yuuki silently looked at Whitebeard...
Su Han scanned the surroundings, where the illusions of reality continued. After a brief silence, he suddenly controlled Number Ten to speak, "Ash is now... making me think I'm seeing Red."
“Crimson? And who is that?” Tony Stark frowned.
He loved the Pokémon story so much that he had read the entire Pokémon Planet series three or five times. But he was certain... there was absolutely no trainer named Red in it.
“You can think of him as Ash from another timeline,” Number Ten said without any change in his voice. “As for his strength? He’s probably about the same as Ash now. After traveling around the Kanto region, he has the strength to capture top-tier legendary Pokémon.”
"Cough, cough." Sawada Tsunayoshi coughed violently. Catching a legendary Pokémon in the very first region? That's even more overpowered than Ash's current situation...
Aizen's eyes flickered, as if deep in thought.
Sure enough, Number Ten is very interested in their affairs... Every time a council member joins, Number Ten goes to scout out that world, right? That's why he knows so much information...
Of course, the fact that the Pokémon world has parallel universes also surprised Aizen quite a bit.
"I bet Number Ten also went to scout out my world, right?" Aizen murmured silently. "Perhaps He knows many other secrets about our world? Maybe I can test Him sometime in the future..."
Su Han gazed silently around; the illusion of reality continued.
In the illusion, Ash accompanies Ho-Oh and Mewtwo, and follows Professor Oak into the true headquarters of the League, the place where the highest power in this world resides.
If Ash were an ordinary trainer, he naturally wouldn't be qualified, but the power he's shown before... and his status as the chosen one of Mewtwo and Ho-Oh, are enough to allow him to step into the highest power position in the League at the young age of ten...
With a serious expression, Watari communicated with the Heavenly Kings of various regions and finally confirmed that some regions had encountered problems.
For example, in the Chengdu area, someone spotted the legendary Pokémon Lugia... It was white, so it must have been unpolluted...
In the Hoenn region, three legendary Pokémon—Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza—have appeared, all shrouded in black, and their direction of travel appears to be towards the Kanto region…
It's still 4 AM tonight. Goodnight!
Also, after thinking about it for a long time, I feel that being an author really isn't for me...
This might be my last day as an author this year. Thank you to all my readers who have been with me. I estimate I won't be able to return to writing again until next year to make up for the missed updates.
See you again someday. (っ╥╯﹏╰╥c)

Chapter 306 Whitebeard: I've been busy discussing world affairs with Dragon lately (First Update)
This situation is very strange. Professor Oak's brows furrowed deeply.
After a brief silence, Lance turned his gaze to Ho-Oh. "Ho-Oh, now that you've agreed to come to the Pokémon League headquarters... presumably you're willing to communicate with us, right?"
