Chapter 46: Whisper Tunnel

The next day, Ash and Alice meet up with Gina, Delia, and Red as they are heading south to Route 14, but before they go there, they notice a Pokemon that looks like a bullet.

"What is that?" Ash asks, and Delia says, "That is Hamawl. Just look at the body and you'll know that it is a Steel Type."

"That is so cool." Ash says as he tries to battle it by using Pikachu, and in the end, it is captured.

Hamawl: The Hammerhead Pokemon: Steel and Water Type. Hamawl smash rocks on the seabed open to find prey living within. Their eyelids are coated in steel to protect them from impact when Hamawl are hammering rocks.

"I just hope that it doesn't try to hit the Pokeball." Alice says as they chuckle.


After walking on Route 14, Ash and the group see a Pokemon standing in front of them, after staring at Alice for a while, the Pokemon left. Ash says, "What was that?"

Delia says, "That was Healthia, it's the Legendary Pokemon! It is known as the Growth Pokemon, it has the ability to grow plant life in desolate places with a single touch."

Red continues, "That's why those flowers appeared there, actually, all of the flowers were made by Healthia, this area is said to be the place where it lives, isn't that wonderful?"

"It sure is, but why is it staring at Alice?" Ash asks, and he also notices Alice in deep thoughts, Ash asks, "Alice? Are you okay?"

"Oh, Ash." Alice says as she is snapped back to reality, "I wonder if we will ever get the chance to see it again..."

Ash says, "I know we can." Then they continue forward until they reach the Whisper Tunnel.

Once they get inside, they continue their training as they find an Air Stone, so Ash gives it to Nimblow, and it evolves into a stronger Pokemon.

Cirribus: The Cloud Pokemon: Flying Type. Evolved from Nimblow with Air Stone. Cirribus live very far up in the atmosphere. On rare occasions, masses of Cirribus would join together to form massive storm clouds capable of great devastation.

As Cirribus uses Rain Dance on Ash, he sighs as he knows that Cirribus likes to play pranks. "Let's continue." Ash says as he recalls his Cirribus back into its Pokeball. After that, they train with Wormune as it also evolves into a bigger worm Pokemon.

Wormole: The Earthworm Pokemon: Bug and Ground Type. Evolved from Wormune at LV:40. Wormole can create massive tunnels, even through mountainsides. Many caverns connecting routes and towns in Rikoto are thanks to these Pokémon.

After recalling his Wormole, by battling some Snooze in the tunnel, Ash evolves his Deerash into a stronger Fire Type Pokemon.

Deerferno: The Deer Pokemon: Fire and Normal Type. Evolved from Deerash at LV:40. The speed that Deerferno runs at leaves everything behind it in an inferno. A Deerferno horde is considered on the scale of natural disasters.

Ash has to stop it from destroying the caves with fire, as he quickly recalls the Pokemon. While training with Lapras, Parasea also evolves into a Pokemon with an island on its back.

Paradiso: The Paradise Pokemon: Water and Grass Type. Evolved from Parasea at LV:40. There are stories of shipwreck survivors mistaking Paradiso for an island, only to wake up on the shores as the island they were on has disappeared.

Lapras and Paradiso's relationship goes closer as Ash and Alice know that they can be together in the end, and it was after Lizzy's battle, Ash wants to evolve his Finflix, and he did it while training in the cave.

Finndra: The Hidden Pokemon: Water and Dragon Type. Evolved from Finflix at LV:40. A sighting report of Finndra in their local waters is enough to attract tourists and Pokémon trainers alike to a city, even if those are but hoaxes.

And then by battling the same kinds, Gravole and Snooze also evolve, and they have attracted a lot of followers in the cave.

Specstone: The Graverobber Pokemon: Ghost and Rock Type. Evolved from Gravole at LV:40. Specstone do not have a definite body. If part of their body is gone, they would set out and take in rocks among graveyards as repairment.

Ghoullow: The Dreamer Pokemon: Ghost and Fairy Type. Evolved from Snooze at can see the dreams of the others, and manipulate them as they see fit. Those that have wrong them would suffer from nightmares, and vice versa.

The next Pokemon that evolves is Rollie, originally Ash's Donphan, it likes to play with Pikachu, and then it evolves in the end.

Elestomp: The Elephant Pokemon: Ground Type. Evolved from Rollie at LV:40. With a stout body, Elestomp are Pokémon with few predators. Their long trunks can hold a large volume of water which can then be used as projectiles.

And finally, Hamawl also evolves even though Ash just captured him a few minutes ago. And its body grows longer and that is what Ash thinks of it.

Silvicious: The Hammerhead Pokemon: Steel and Water Type. Evolved from Hamawl at LV:40. Silvicious often spend time by their lonesome when swimming. When one encounters another Silvicious, they compete in fights of brute strength.

As they move forward, they find Keira who is also training. But after they greet each other, they hear a cry. "Ash, do you guys hear it?" Keira asks.

"Yeah, it sounds like an older man is in danger." Alice says.

They try to follow the sound, but they see a puzzle that stops them. With Ash's Strength Gloves, they solve the puzzle easily as they move on. "I wonder what the cries are from..."

But when they go further, they find the Wind Temple and Marcus as well as the Team Lunar Grunts are there. "Hey, you two! Please help me! They want to steal some white stone from this temple!" A Hiker who is tied up yells.

"Hold your tongue, wannabe-hiker!" The male grunt hits him.

"We are Team Lunar, we do whatever we want!" The female grunt says.

"Oh, look at them, if that's not the little twerps again...Still trying to thwart our plans, heh?" Marcus says. "You are late as always, but in fact, we are late as well, the Wind Stone has been taken! But that doesn't mean you can stop us!"

"Dream on, you won't be able to collect all stones to summon Solaran and Lunaro. And what do you mean the Wind Stone is taken?" Keira asks.

"Ah, I see, you made your homework little girl...You guys are really the last hope of Professor Pinewood and the queen? Haha, I can't believe that! Whatever! It doesn't matter if you know our goals or not...In fact, we have lost to Team Solar if they already got the Wind Stone. We have no purpose here."

Ash says, "We won't let you go without a fight."

"Ha? You think you can beat me?" He then sends out Spectstone and a Countula, but before Ash can send out his Pokemon, two Pokemon appears in front of them, much to their shock.

"Where did those Pokemon come from?" Marcus is surprised. The first Pokemon looks like a snake, but Ash notices that it is different than the Pokemon known as Syrill from before, so maybe it is his evolution. And for the next Pokemon, it looks like it is sleeping.

"Are you here to help us?" Ash asks in surprise.

"Ash, Pikachu, it has been a while." The flying snake-like Pokemon says.

"Yeah, we finally find you, but now it isn't the time for a reunion." The sleeping Pokemon says. Then the two Pokemon defeat the Pokemon Marcus sends out.

"I don't care about battles anymore! It just delays the fulfillment of our plan! The Wind Stone isn't here, maybe Team Solar is heading for the Sea Stone..." Marcus says bitterly. "You twerps won't be taking down Team Lunar!" Then they use Smokescreen to escape.

"They got away again..." Gina says.

"It is fine." Ash says as he goes to rescue the hiker. "What was that? Who were these guys? What were they're talking about? Wind Stone?! Solaran and Lunaro?! Never mind, that's none of my business...I guess...I'll leave this tunnel as fast as I can! Thanks for your help, please take care of yourself. Bye." The hiker runs away.

Ash turns to the two Pokemon, he asks, "Are you the two Pokemon that I owned?"

The flying snake-like Pokemon shows off his new body, and Ash asks, "Hawlucha?" Then the sleeping Pokemon yawns and Ash asks, "Quilava? Oh my goodness, I finally found you!"

He hugs them and Alice says, "Hawlucha is a Pokemon that possesses an artistic way of executing its moves, it also takes great pride in their elegance."

Gina says, "And Quilava intimidates foes with its flame's heat, and when ready to battle, the fire burns with more strength."

Syrill: The Whisper Pokemon: Ghost and Flying Type. Syrill create air currents deep in caves, giving the illusion of an exit nearby. Lost hikers follow these winds only to end up even more lost in the caverns.

Cycrill: The Whisper Pokemon: Ghost and Flying Type. Evolved from Syrill at LV:40. Cycrill take residence in caves near the sea. They would create a strong wind that pushes Pokémon and boats alike from the shore.

Hypnopuff: The Languid Pokemon: Psychic and Poison Type. Hypnopuff are known for the hypnotic gas they emit for self-defense; They are essential in treating insomnia in the ages long past.

"So a Cycrill and a Hypnopuff, that is so awesome." Ash says. Welcome back to the team."

After recalling them, Keira says, "But they didn't get the Wind Stone, does that mean Team Solar has it?"

Gina says, "No, in fact, it is here." Gina takes out the stone and the others are surprised. "Where did you get it?" Ash asks.

"Well, after that meeting with Professor Pinewood, I called Beacon to retrieve the stone for me, and he did." Gina smiles. "Ash, I think you should have it."

"Thanks." Ash says. "Now that I have the three stones, their plans won't work."

Keira says, "Yeah. By the way, after this tunnel is Greenpine City, so I'm heading there now. I will contact the Professor and tell him about this new incident." Then she bids farewell.

As for Ash and the group, they head into the temple as they see Tornadowl. Tornadowl flies down and greets them. "You have arrived."

"Hello there, Tornadowl, we have the Wind Stone, those evil teams didn't have it."

"Good." Tornadowl says. "But it isn't safe to put here since they will be back. So the Prince and the Princess, please take the stone with you on the journey."

"We will." Alice says.

"And I sense the Balance Crystal with you, so that means that the prophecy is about the begin. You must be stronger or else that you can't beat Solaran and Lunaro." Tornadowl says. "I'll join your team so that my other companions and I can help you." Ash nods as he captures the Pokemon.

Tornadowl: The Wind Symbol Pokemon: Flying Type. Embodying the element of Wind, Tornadowl is said to direct air currents through the lands, such that fresh air is available to all living things.

Then Tornadowl also gives Cycrill the Air Stone, causing it to evolve as well.

Syphoon: The Whisper Pokemon: Ghost and Flying Type. Evolved from Cycrill with Air Stone. Syphoon can whip up hurricanes capable of great destruction when incited. The roaring winds they create can level large cities.

"Now that it is done..." Ash says, "Let's get out of this tunnel." Then they keep ongoing as they try to find the way out.


Here is another chapter, and this time Team Lunar didn't get the Wind Stone as well, which means that Ash has the rest three and he will protect them at any cost. I hope you like this chapter.

New Pokemon: Silvicious, Cirribus, Wormole, Deerferno, Paradiso, Finndra, Specstone, Ghoullow, Elestomp, Syphoon, Hypnopuff, Tornadowl
