Ash and his team spent the rest of the day in Trapinch's maze and helped them repaired it.
How and why they got to help fix up something that was fine before they came was because Ash's Flygon accidentally used Earthquake in happiness after seeing so many of them that looked like his past self.
It was indeed a good very place for training for them.
In addition, Ash also gave his Flygon some extra time to play with the Trapinchs and Vibravas living here.
After all, this was one of the most childish Pokémon's in his team, despite how strong he was.
He had been training with Latios and Latias in the past and sometimes with the past Dratini, and life was good at first, but since Rayquaza came to the Lab under Ash's command, he had been training with several of Ash's other Dragon-type Pokémon's, and his once chill life turned into a life of hellish training.
This was the first time Ash teleported him back after sending his Rayquaza back to the Lab, and their shared Bond Value increased unexpectedly. He really must have wanted to get out of the training hell hole that was the Lab.
After leaving the desert, the group embarked on another one of their boring walking journey. There was no longer a forest here, but instead they came to the foothill of a very rocky steep mountain.
"I can't do it anymore!" May fell down from exhaustion, "I can't go one for even another step, leave me here my love!"
She used to walk in the forest and hated it to some extent because of just common they were, but now she starts to miss those same forests that she once found so boring.
"Cheer up, May. We can already pretty much see the bridge leading to Riyado Town ahead." Brock encouraged her to his best, which really wasn't that much considering he was also very tired of this. The group's current goal was to reach Riyado Town on the foothill of this mountain range, this is one of the very few places that they can take a small actual rest in.
But to even reach the far distant Riyado Town, they still had to climb over some parts of this steep mountains. This island was such a big one for so many unnecessary reasons, this place pretty much had every biome possible, even icy and tundra forests.
"Everyone, hurry up, I see the bridge from here!" Max ran after hearing Ash say that he could feel the peoples Aura from nearby and was the first to reach the bridge Brock was just taking about. May immediately became more energetic. After getting across this bridge, they would not be far from their destination of Riyado Town.
Under the long bridge, the river here was extremely turbulent and also seemed very deep and dangerous.
Ralts and Togetic were not that worried at all, so the two inexperienced one just went to the bridge on their own without a care.
However, a pink light suddenly flashed on Ash's body, and he suddenly knew something went wrong, "Ralts!"
With his shout, Ralts teleported back to Ash, and Togetic also flew back quickly. Only Pikachu was slightly affected by the sudden explosion as he went ahead to check a smell he found familiar on the bridge and was about to fall into the water, but his sudden use of electromagnetic levitation made him temporarily float in the air, waiting for Ash to bring him back with a little Psychic.
Suddenly, a white light flashed and Pikachu was brought back to the group.
And what it really was an Absol standing in front of Ash and his group. Judging from its size, it should still be just a child, but its eyes were as cold as freezing ice like the rest of his species.
Ash took his Pikachu back, and Absol was about to leave, but he was stopped by him with a single word.
"Abso?"
Absol really stopped after hearing Ash's words, Ash simply smiled at him and took out a Poké Ball from his waist, "Absol, meet your fellow brethren!"
Ash released his very own Absol. His one had lived deep inside of Forina for many unknown number of years. Before he was even caught, it was already able to fight with Ash's Suicune for a whole 9 seconds. Its speed and endurance were already very astonishing from the moment he was caught. In less than a day, a journey that would take four days by car was easily completed by him without any problems.
In order to catch this Absol, Ash worked hard in Forina and had stopped him no matter how many times he needed to be able to make him join him.
In the end, it wasn't until Ash solved the havoc caused by that half-baked fake Groudon on Forina that Absol automatically followed him as his job was finally completed.
Their shared Bond Value after going through such a difficult adversity and fighting side by side many times caused their bond to be quite high.
This saved Ash a lot of worry about his future, so he still had enough power to begin a battle against that powerful Flygon. Originally, he just went to see the Millennium Comet because something that Captain Stern mentioned on a whil, but he ultimately he was able to catch two more powerful Pokémon's for his team because of this.
That thing had also helped him complete his Bonds Evolutions with his Suicune and his Latias.
So how can he not be happy about that?
The two Absols stood together and their comparison became so much clearer.
This wild young Absol was indeed much smaller, only about 1.15 meters tall. But Ash's one had already reached a height of 1.4 meters when it was caught. It had grown up deep inside of the forest that is Fornia under the large amount of energy that the Millennium Comet left from over a millennium ago.
And after being taken in by Ash, he practiced swordsmanship under the training of Scizor, who got his own tea from Ash and the world's foremost at assassin swordsmanship. Now his body has transformed and his body has grown to a whopping 1.55 meters.
The two Absols looked at Ash together. The horns on their heads were very sensitive and were known to be able to detect any changes happening in the sky, the earth, or any place near them, which gives them the power to sense future natural disasters.
If nothing else, the fact that this little Absol appears here was more than enough to explain the problem with the bridge.
The "Bringer of Disaster" Absol will never appear in any populated place easily, they will only be there if they sensed danger to Pokémon's and humans alike.
"Found it! There it is!"
The sound of the bridge collapsing just now was more than enough to attract the people from the nearby Riyado Town. They each held ancient looking weapons and shouted very aggressively, shouting to harm and all sorts of things, and their target was obviously Absol.
"Damn you Absol, you destroyed our bridge again!"
However, when they arrived and got closer, they found that there were two Absols instead of the one they knew to be here, one was big and one was small. They were so frightened that their faces turned blue, quite literally.
"How could that happen?" They all retreated back, but they still shouted to Ash and his group on the other side to get to safety, "What are you still doing there? Run from those Disaster Beasts!"
Ash just shrugged. People nowadays in such remote places still misunderstand Absol too deeply and believe they are the one who causes the destruction.
Absol had the ability to sense the nearby crisis and rush to notify the people living there, but because of this they were regarded by many people from the Heian Era to be the culprit behind the disaster.
All Ash did was so squat down and gently stroked the pristine white fur of the younger Absol.
Absol looks like a majestic beats, but the long white fur all over his body was very difficult to take care of while being alone. But this young wild Absol was so much cleaner than his one, he his one took showers everyday. He was such a good little boy.
"Young man, why would you every touch that filth?!" The small towns people backed away again and again.
"People from Riyado Town, come with me!" Ash stood up and used his Psychic Powera to show them his official Pokémon League Investigator Badge over, "I am with the Pokémon League Headquarters Investigators. You can leave all the affairs here to me to deal with. I just want to show you something that I believe you as the town's people should be hopefully aware of!"
These people still have some understanding of power behind that golden ornate looking badge and Ash's identity as he had clearly stated. They can see that Ash had actually managed to get both of the Absols under his control and were now willing to follow him, even if it's not all of them, just more of the "younger ones."
The two Absols led the group of humans upstream, and soon they came to a cliff at the foot of the mountain. The townspeople immediately realized something was wrong, and so very wrong it was.
"Look over there at that corner! There seems to be some amounts of water seeping out there!" The townspeople soon discovered that there was a large amount of water seeping out of the mountain wall, although it was still slow, there was a lot of water gathering around here and then going down. No wonder the water flow downstream from here was so fast.
The better question tho was why they hadn't checked on this before as this was their only true fresh water source.
"BoOm!"
Before the townspeople could even react, the cliff suddenly exploded from the water pressure and a large amount of water poured out, washing all of them away.
"Absol!" Ash called our, and then he threw out two more of his Poké Balls, "Stand by for clear, Vigoroth, Flygon!"
"Hurry up and save those people!"
After being rescued by Absol, the villagers no longer had the same amount of fear they previously had, now they only felt respect towards it and ashamed at themselves.
"Absol can predict the coming of disasters nearby! Its appearance was to warn people, not to bring any kind of disaster like you people thought!" There were now two Absols standing next to Ash's side. "They are real mystical beasts, not the disaster beasts you people thought them out to be!"
However, this was no longer the time to lecture them about this. The river water was beginning to surge even further and was now forming a powerful flood in a quick succession, pouring down along the foothills towards the small town at the end.
If this continues, the entire Riyado Town will be submerged and so will everyone living there right now.
"Young man, please save our town! We beg of you!" The townspeople now didn't really have the luxury of caring about whether or now Absol was good or bad. Saving their town was their current first priority.
However, when they looked up, they saw two Absols and Ash, their Trainee, was already standing on top of the cliff.
Ash's now longer hair was blowing hard because the wind. His loose clothes made it seem like he was someone from heaven descending to the land below.
May was blushing wheel looking at her boyfriend while also being protected by his Pikachu's Protect and the Togekiss' barriers.
Brock and Max still had some semblance of their usual self but couldn't help but think how cool Ash looked.
The two Absols actually used both of their destructive Hyper Beams at the same time, combining them together to create a stronger one that hit a huge boulder at the top of the cliff.
That boulder was so MASSIVE that if it can be taken down to the ground, it will definitely be able to withstand the force of the flood.
"Boys, let's finish this once and for all!" Ash felt confident in his power, it was as if his voice coulf hold up even if the sky fell.

-
{Ash is the mightiest amongst the generation of the Great League Sect! He is already at the Heavenly True Supreme Dharma Immortal Jade Aether Dao Stage at such a young age of only two trillion lunar cycles!}
-

The method has been decided, now it depends on whether they have enough tile to pull down this huge boulder and put it in place.
"Absol! Vigoroth! Flygon!"
Ash suddenly jumped directly onto his Flygon's back, followed closely by the two Absol and excited Vigoroth. They climbed up the cliff and saw that the boulder seemed to be more than 10 meters high, about 15 meters in diameter.
This was simply nothing compared to the rocky mountains surrounding this place.
At this moment, where Asb and his Pokémon's were, they would be in the most danger if the flood did came, so there was not much time left for Ash to protect everyone behind him.
Facing the crisis, Ash looked up to the sky and smirked. The overwhelming momentum of his Aura affected all the Pokémon's, and his Pikachu directly teleported to him with a Quick Attack and entered his Bonds Evolutions form.
Theee destructive rays of Hyper Beam and Pikachu's now ultra powerful Thunderpunch hit it at the closest distance on the side, and the giant rock immediately became loose and fell.
10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt!
With the finishing-move Z move, Ash finally destroyed the area near here and enlarged it so the boulder could comfortably fit now, which now was the main blocked at the foot of the mountain, splitting the sloping torrent into two and heading towards both sides of the mountain.
The Town of Riyado downstream was saved thanks to his and his Pokémon's effort.
Absol: 230/250
