"That's right, Elesa. You know what? The funniest thing about coming to Hoenn this time is seeing these idiots. They could keep me laughing for a whole year!"
"What are you talking about, you little brat!"
Hearing Ash's teasing, a young man quickly stepped forward and shouted at him. Upon seeing someone daring to yell at his master, Ash's Poochyena immediately glared menacingly at the young man. The fierce look from Poochyena made the young man take a step back, which almost made Absol laugh. However, the young man quickly released his Pokémon.
"Come on out, Lotad!"
"Lotad!"
As soon as Lotad appeared, it locked eyes with Poochyena. But Lotad quickly became frightened because Poochyena's gaze was intensely scary, as if it wanted to eat it.
"Woo~"
"Lotad!"
Scared by Poochyena, Lotad immediately ran behind its trainer for protection, leaving the trainer helpless. Absol simply found this amusing.
After finishing the call, Ash handed the communicator to his Poochyena and said something that would make many famous people unable to tolerate.
"Alright, alright. Don't stare too long at the idiots, or you might get infected with their stupidity. Here, have a chicken leg to cool off!"
"Awuu!" (Best master ever!)
Seeing Ash take out a chicken leg from his bag, Poochyena excitedly began to eat. From Poochyena's reaction, everyone understood that Ash had definitely been treating it well.
Upon hearing Ash's comments, an elderly villager stepped forward and looked at Ash, saying, "Young man, it's not right to speak ill of others casually."
"Oh? Then, grandpa, if someone helps another person but the one being helped claims the helper is a bad person, is the one being helped a bad person too?"
"Of course! That person is a scoundrel!"
"Then, since Absol comes to warn you about impending disaster and you call it a bringer of calamity, then you must be the scoundrels!"
The old man seemed to anticipate Ash's rebuttal, stroking his beard and laughing, "Haha, young man, Absol is a legendary disaster Pokémon. Wherever it appears, even other Pokémon will hide from it. So you're still too young to be easily misled."
Honestly hearing this back again made Absol feel somewhat displeased; it didn't want anyone defaming it in front of Ash. But this time was different because Ash believed in Absol.
Looking at the elder, Ash then turned to Meowth, asking, "Why do they run away when they see Absol?"
"Since Absol is here to warn about a disaster, why wouldn't little Pokémon run away? That's why no communication is really troublesome…"
Hearing that Meowth could talk again surprised the villagers. Seeing their astonished expressions, Ash smiled and patted Meowth, saying, "See? Isn't he amazing? My Meowth is the bridge to communicate with my Pokémon!"
"Oh, come on, boss! Don't say that; I'll get shy!"
Meowth had probably been praised like this many times before. However, others could still see the pride in his eyes—it was the pride of being complimented by Ash.
"It's just a talking Meowth. What does that prove?"
The young man, who had been scared by Ash's Poochyena, seemed to recover and had a bit of discontent toward Ash. However, Ash looked at him as if he were looking at a fool.
"Come on! You can ask your Lotad if it's like that! If you don't believe Meowth, just ask your Lotad what it will say!"
"...Lotad, do you really say that Absol is here to send messages?"
"Lotad! Lotad!"
Despite being frightened, Lotad still nodded at its trainer's question.
"It says that when they were born, their parents told them to run away as soon as they see Absol, for Absol is always right."
"Lotad! Lotad!"
Seeing Meowth help translate, Lotad happily nodded, while its trainer fell silent. The same went for the other villagers. Pokémon, who generally dislike evil and pranks, were almost never deceptive; they had begun to realize that what Ash said was correct.
"Ha! Did you see? By your own definition, you must be scoundrels. Bye bye, scoundrels! Also, Absol said there will soon be a landslide. You better heed the warnings and take precautions; otherwise, if something happens, it's your own fault. Let's go eat now. Absol, you've done your part in warning them; let's go eat!"
"Ming..." (Okay!), it followed Ash and his friends. Just as Ash said, it had warned humans. Now, it was time to eat.
After that, a new Absol joined Ash. Under the collaborative statement of the Professors, Absol's clan was officially rehabilitated. They were no longer seen as symbols of disaster but rather as heroes who saved humans and Pokémon.
"See, Meowth? I told you, you and Absol are true heroes! It's because of your existence that the Professors can better understand Pokémon. Communication is very important."
In the villa in Hoenn, Ash, his Pokémon, and a bunch of Poochyena were watching television, which was broadcasting news from the Professors about rehabilitating Absol.
"Pika!" (Being able to communicate is so convenient!)
"Chansey!" (If I could communicate with Papa Ash directly, that would be awesome!)
"Oh, you guys can't envy me for this! Hahaha, Meowth!"
Looking at Meowth's proud appearance, which lay beside Ash, Absol smiled. After all, what Meowth said was true.
"Woo..." (This time, we Absol really have to thank Meowth.)
While Ash and the others were watching TV, his communicator rang. The caller was none other than Karen.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Xiao Zhi, I'm going to do a Double Battle. Are you coming?"
"Double Battle? Sure! It'll be a good chance for Poochyena to gain some experience. Wait a minute!"
As Ash looked at Poochyena and Absol nearby, he revealed a grin. It was a grin that clearly indicated he was up to something.
"Hey sis, I just thought of a great idea."
"Hmm?"
Thus, the Dark-type Trainers were thrown into a whirlpool of chaos, and the most powerful Dark Pokémon among them was none other than the Absol, once known as a disaster Pokémon, but now recognized as a hero. That Absol is me.
This is my story—a tale of a former Disaster Pokémon. Now the only thing I want to do is follow Ash, the one who always believes in us, the one who has cleared our name, and I will continue following him until the end of the world.
