13.Ash's Rikoto Story

Chapter 81 Dessert Baking

Ash and Alice arrive at Dullfern Forest, responding to Insey's invitation. The dense canopy above casts dappled shadows on the forest floor, creating an atmosphere that feels both mysterious and inviting.

Insey greets them with a warm smile, "Thank you for coming, brother, and Alice. I assume you've heard about what Mom told you yesterday, right?"

Ash nods, "Yeah, she wants me to make a movie about the Rikoto Region, with Alice and me as the main characters. So, I guess this is your hideout?"

Insey chuckles softly, looking around at the towering trees. "I lived in the forest for a long time before I was adopted into your family. So, I like my living place to be close to the forest. Bug-type Pokémon are my favorite, so we're going to focus on the Bug-type part of the movie here."

Ash smiles and reaches for his Pokéballs, releasing a diverse array of Bug-type Pokémon onto the soft, moss-covered ground. Stickut, Widox, Glowing, Casspring, Pixilily, Taraterror, Wormole, Cassand, Jeweltal, Fyant, Rottoween, Mosliquo, Dracofly, Mossnail, and finally, Cryscoon, all appear before them.

Alice gasps in surprise, her eyes widening as she notices one of the Pokémon. "Wait, your Cryscoon hasn't evolved into its final form yet?"

"Well, I guess it's going to happen soon. I was actually hoping to evolve him into his final form today," Ash replies, a hint of excitement in his voice.

Insey grins, "Then I'll help you. It would be great to have all the final forms for the movie."

Unbeknownst to them, two figures quietly observe from the shadows of the trees—Tracy and Iris, two of the Pokémon murderers. Tracy narrows his eyes, studying the unfamiliar Pokémon. "I don't recognize any of Ash's Pokémon."

Iris's gaze locks onto one in particular. Her eyes gleam with interest as she spots Dracofly. "That one over there looks like a Dragon type! I'd love to have one like that."

Ash smiles at his Pokémon, "Alright, everyone, we're going to start filming the movie soon, so let's get some training in first. Cryscoon, we're going to evolve you into your final form. How does that sound?"

Cryscoon jumps into Ash's arms, nodding enthusiastically, its cocoon-like body brimming with anticipation. The other Pokémon scatter around the forest, eager to begin their own training routines.

With Insey's guidance and support, Ash works with Cryscoon, pushing it to new heights. After an intense session, Cryscoon begins to glow, its form shifting and expanding. The glow fades to reveal Crystwing, a beautiful, delicate Pokémon with wings that shimmer in shades of icy blue and aqua. Its body is sleek, adorned with smooth, white wings that glisten like crystal in the sunlight, and its eyes now reflect a serene, otherworldly light.

Ash grins with pride, "You did it, Crystwing! You've evolved beautifully!"

Crystiwing: The Clear Wing Pokémon: Bug and Ice Type. Evolve from Cryscoon at LV:54. Crystiwing's wings, though fragile, are extraordinarily sharp, to the point where it can cleave a glacier into half. Such is why no bird Pokémon dare to prey on it.

Insey nods with satisfaction at Crystwing's transformation. "Now that it has evolved, let's get started with the movie content. One of my hobbies is baking—I really enjoy making cakes and desserts. How about we have your Pokémon help make some sweets?"

"Baking sweets? That sounds fun!" Alice says, her smile widening at the thought.

Ash chuckles, intrigued by the idea. "It does sound like a great experience. So, how should we go about it?"

"We're going to prepare five different desserts," Insey explains, a twinkle of excitement in his eyes. "Each Pokémon will use their moves to help out in the process. It'll be a fun and unique way to showcase their abilities!"
