As for why Zekrom had appeared before Ash and Pikachu twice,
no one in the Chat Group could find the right answer to that question.
They could only assume that Li Wei's speculation was correct.
In other words, Zekrom had come to help Pikachu resolve the problem of his electrical overload.
But why?
Yellow: "Maybe Zekrom is just really kind!"
Cynthia: "In the legends of the Unova Region, Zekrom is known as the Dragon of Ideals. Perhaps Zekrom acknowledged Ash."
Blue: "The Dragon of Ideals... that does seem like a good fit for Ash."
Lance: "That makes a lot of sense."
Steven: "I agree."
Wallace: "Zekrom's acknowledgment? I'm truly moved!"
Li Wei had to admit that Cynthia was right.
Li Wei remembered that Zekrom had acknowledged Ash in the movie.
And Ash had ridden Zekrom into battle against Reshiram.
The next day, in Laverre Town.
After resting for the night,
Ash and Brock said goodbye to Professor Oak, Professor Juniper, and Delia, then set off on their journey through the Unova Region.
Ash had come to the Unova Region to collect badges and challenge the Vertress Conference in the first place.
"Brock, Pikachu, please take care of Ash."
"Don't worry."
"Pikachu!"
Professor Juniper updated Ash's Pokédex with the Unova Region's data and gave him five starter Poké Balls.
"The Unova Region is different from many other regions. It's very rare to see Pokémon from elsewhere here."
As for why?
The academic community had yet to reach a consensus, so Professor Juniper couldn't answer that either.
Fortunately, Ash didn't keep asking questions like an endlessly curious child. He was simply excited about his journey through Unova.
"The nearest Gym to Laverre Town is in Striaton City. You can go there to challenge it."
"Thank you, Professor Juniper!"
Ash eagerly accepted
