Chapter 278 Focusing is an important step in using a camera.
The Water City Festival was held on the third night after the preliminary rounds, and it was quite grand, with not only a banquet but also a fireworks show.
However, once it's past eight o'clock, the residents of the water city immediately end their celebrations, quickly return to their homes, lock their doors and windows, and prepare to welcome the arrival of the waves.
"How's it going, Canon? Are you all ready?" Canon's white-bearded grandfather, Ben Gray, asked the girl above with a kind smile.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, it's done."
At this moment, Ash and his friends are with Canon, her grandfather, and the Latias siblings in the shrine of the museum in the center of Water City.
Canon carefully placed the heart-shaped water droplet, shimmering with blue light, into the machine's groove.
The machine started immediately, and after a smooth transformation, it entered its normal operating state. Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up. This kind of classic machine could actually have such a high-tech transformation.
It's a pity they didn't become robots, but they still have a unique kind of beauty.
A circular cockpit with a bronze control panel slowly descended from the machine.
What surprised Xiaozhi even more was that this control panel actually had a display screen.
"Why would a machine made hundreds of years ago have a display screen?"
The technology in the Pokémon world is truly amazing.
"Does this require someone to go inside and operate it?" Xiaoxia asked, looking at the machine with curiosity.
"That's right. This machine can maximize the energy of the Heart Droplet, and it can control the city's defenses and energy shields."
After explaining with a smile, Ben Gray helped Canon into the control panel.
His eyes were full of affection as he looked at the machine, after all, he usually took great care of it.
"This is the biggest barrier protecting the entire city."
"However, only kind people can use the Heart Drop. If evil people use it, it will cause irreparable disaster and may even lead to the loss of the entire Water City."
"This is an ancestral precept passed down in our family, so it is most appropriate for Canon, who is trusted by Latios and Latias, to do it."
As Canon sat on the control panel and waved his hands, the screen magically displayed a flowing water effect.
At the same time, several iron fences appeared on all the passageways and houses in the city, sealing off the entire Water City in an instant.
The sound of the iron bars closing startled Xiaoxia and Serena; the Water City was indeed a giant, sophisticated machine.
"These fences used to be a defensive measure to prevent the island from being invaded, but now they've become a facility to prevent residents from wandering around," Kanon explained to Ash and his friends.
Having witnessed the device's activation process and satisfied his curiosity, Ash rubbed Latias and Latios's heads again, and they stopped bothering him.
With Pikachu and Togepi by their side, the group quickly passed through the designated passage and returned to the Pokémon Center to rest.
At this time, the trainers at the Pokémon Center were all resting in their rooms.
But Ash had barely returned when he was already preparing to leave again.
"Xiao Zhi, what's wrong with you? It seems like you've been going out every night lately," Xiao Xia immediately called out to Xiao Zhi, who was about to leave.
"Xiaoxia, you don't understand. I'm doing all this to save two fallen souls; I absolutely cannot stop during this time!"
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhi immediately turned around and said with a mischievous smile, "If you want to see, you can come along too."
Xiaoxia immediately shook her head; she was all too familiar with Xiaozhi's smile now.
She definitely wasn't doing anything serious, and she didn't want to go and see.
Anyway, with Ash's exaggerated strength, she didn't need to worry about his safety. After telling him to come back early, Misty didn't care anymore.
However, Xiaoxia was indeed a little curious. Serena was still in the room, so who could it be? Ash didn't even bring her back to see her.
Ash went straight to the mountain he had been on before and entered the Phantom Thief Sisters' airship base. As soon as he opened the hatch, he saw that the two sisters had been waiting for him for a long time in a seated position.
Moreover, they were wearing "cultivation" outfits with a postmodern punk style, clothes that absolutely could not be openly displayed on the street.
"Welcome back, Master!"
"Good, get up and don't catch a cold. Oh, and you don't need to wear the gag anymore."
After patting them on the shoulder, Xiao Zhi sat down in the pilot's seat of the spaceship.
The two sisters quickly got up and followed, serving Ash on either side of him; now the spaceship base seemed to have become his.
Xiao Zhi came today not only to consolidate the educational results of the past few days, but also to take the opportunity to enjoy the spectacular sight of the ocean waves crashing in from the sky.
At this moment, Water City was protected by a light blue shield that looked like an inverted bowl. Ash flew to a high altitude close to the shield and looked at the giant waves in the distance.
Suddenly, Sanna trembled and could no longer stand.
"Master—could you—take that thing away from Sanna?"
The two sisters were trembling on either side of Ash's vehicle.
They were all a little unsteady on their feet. Sanna could still speak, but Lian could only bite her lower lip, close her eyes tightly, and force herself to endure it.
"No, it has to be left for a full day and night. This is your punishment." Xiao Zhi immediately refused coldly. "These wicked women are the worst at eating children."
That's ruthless! The punishment must be severe!
At the spaceship's control panel, Ash skillfully maneuvered the spaceship using his special ability.
I patted the two sisters, and they immediately squatted down.
At the same time, Ash quietly shifted the gear up one level.
As they soared into the sky and listened to the two sisters singing a symphony, Xiao Zhi took out the ancient book.
Skipping over the fascinating gossip stories mentioned above, let's turn directly to the records of Water 7's fight against the tsunami.
Suddenly Ash exclaimed, not because the shiny Grubbin had been bitten by a tooth.
Instead, he noticed that the approaching wave seemed a bit too high.
The highest recorded wave in books is only twenty meters, but the first wave that is surging in front of us is already at least fifty meters high.
He reached out and adjusted the angle of Lian's head, then quickly piloted the spaceship forward.
This massive wave, like a tidal wave, crashed against the barrier of the Water City with astonishing force.
Fortunately, the barrier of Water City is 100 meters high, and even a 50-meter-high wave cannot break through it.
Although the first wave of attacks caused violent ripples on the barrier's surface, it ultimately passed without incident after several flashes.
Under the blue light, the waves quickly subsided.
But Ash soon noticed that several more large waves were about to hit, and the power of each wave seemed to be higher than the last.
"Will the water city's protective barrier hold up if things continue like this?"
For some reason, a strong sense of unease flashed through Xiaozhi's mind at this moment.
He told Sanna and Lian to stop what they were doing, change their clothes, and then he piloted the spaceship straight toward the location of the sanctuary.
Inside the sanctuary, Ben Gray also noticed something was wrong; this year's tsunami was far too ferocious.
He anxiously looked at the control panel. "Kanon, is everything alright?"
"I'm trying my best, Grandpa." Canon, covered in sweat, adjusted the energy output, doing his best to repair the weak points on the shield.
Beside the machine, Latias and Latios were also glowing brightly, trying their best to replenish their energy from the Heart Droplet.
Then another wave, nearly 80 meters high, crashed in rapidly, violently colliding with the protective shield, causing the entire city to shake.
