Pokémon: Simultaneous time travel, this Ash is too versatile!

Chapter 102 Kona's Attention, Another Lottery, Viridian Power, MEGA's Guidance!
Naz's desire to travel could not be stopped in the end; Naz's father had neither the right nor the means to control her.

However, Nazi's mother, who was relatively close to her, had no intention of stopping Nazi from going out; she saw things more clearly than Nazi's father.

A father is naturally extremely worried about his daughter, and he still worries about many meaningless things, such as whether Nazzi has any common sense...

With Sabrina's superpowers and her ability to sense people's hearts, what kind of unexpected events could she encounter outside?
If anyone really has any ulterior motives towards Naz, then we should be thinking of that person's best interests. Those guys who have ulterior motives towards Naz should be thanking their lucky stars if Naz turns them into dolls and throws them into the wilderness.

Therefore, Naji's father's worries were completely unnecessary. Instead of worrying about Naji, he should worry about those who have ulterior motives towards her.

At the same time, news of the fall of the Goldenrod Gym reached the League's ears.

Although the League outwardly ignores the Goldenrod Gym, it has actually been keeping an eye on its every move.

After all, Sabrina's behavior was already quite dangerous. The League sent Lorelei with the intention of capturing her in one fell swoop and bringing her back to the League to figure out what to do next.

As a result, Lorelei was unable to defeat Sabrina, partly due to concerns about the situation in Goldenrod City, and partly due to Sabrina's own strength.

If Kona really defeated Sabrina, or posed any fatal threat to Sabrina, wouldn't Sabrina run away?
Given her ability to read people's minds, if Kona went with this purpose, the opponent would have already escaped before they could be defeated. Letting such a time bomb leave their sight would be an absolute nightmare for the League.

So ultimately, for various reasons, Lorelei gave up the idea of ​​defeating Sabrina. The League had no choice but to send people to monitor the Goldenrod Gym so that they could provide timely assistance should any challenger encounter any problems.

Fortunately, although many challengers failed and were turned into dolls, they all came out alive a day or several days later without any casualties. Otherwise, the Goldenrod Gym might not exist now.

However, just today, the League envoy monitoring the Goldenrod Gym sent back news that Sabrina had been defeated! And the person who defeated Sabrina was a rookie trainer—Ash from Pallet Town!
In a room decorated entirely in ice blue, Kona, dressed in loungewear, lay lazily on a beanbag chair, holding a newly acquired photograph in her hand.

The image above shows a handsome young man wearing a hat and sporting a Pikachu on his shoulder.

"Ash from Pallet Town... He's been traveling for a month and a half and hasn't acquired any Pokémon beforehand, yet he still managed to defeat Sabrina, a Champion-level Pokémon? What an interesting little guy! I should go meet him sometime..."

……

Meanwhile, Ash, who was on Sabrina's mind, was already in the city center of Saffron City. As one of the most prosperous cities in Kanto, Saffron City certainly had plenty of large shopping malls and the like.

There are many things here that you can't buy in other cities, but Ash and his friends are on a tight budget, so it's definitely not possible for them to spend money recklessly here.

Even with lots of extra bonuses, they still have a lot to say!
The food prepared for each elf alone costs a considerable sum; wanting to buy anything else is simply a pipe dream.

After running around the mall, Xiaozhi and his friends bought a lot of things, with food being the most purchased, followed by some camping supplies.

Things like needing to replace the pot with a larger one, and some mosquito repellent and insect repellent, as well as a new sleeping bag, and maybe a small table...

After all the miscellaneous expenses, a whopping 100,000 yuan vanished!

Xiao Zhi also bought two extremely useful gadgets at the mall: a weighted vest.

This thing is a new black technology created by Silver Corporation. It can freely adjust the weight and is also very flexible to wear. The smallest size can be worn by Radamanthys, and the largest size can be worn by monsters like Tyranitar!
The load capacity can be adjusted from ten kilograms to one ton, which is very convenient.

This surreal thing, like the space backpack in a Poké Ball, has no idea how it was made; perhaps it uses the power of Pokémon.

This utility also means that its price won't be cheap.

One hundred thousand per piece!
Two items would cost two hundred thousand!
It directly surpassed the total amount of things Xiaogang and his friends bought!

This also completely emptied Ash's savings! If he doesn't find a way to make money later, Ash might have to rely on the two gym leaders before reaching Celadon City.

But in reality, Ash does have quite a few treasures, each one priceless. For example, if he were to sell that spell charm, the Ghost-type Elite Four member in Kanto would definitely beg to buy it.

According to Xiao Gang's prediction, that thing would cost at least eight figures, several times more expensive than a top-grade Moonstone!
After all, in Pokémon battles, even a 10% difference in stats can give you a significant advantage in a head-on clash!
Not to mention the incredibly high stats of Elite Four champions; a 30% boost is absolutely monstrous. Even if it costs eight figures, it would be worth it for the Elite Four members.

But Ash obviously wouldn't sell this thing. Even if Gengar had given it to him, he wouldn't sell it even if he had found it on the roadside!
Who isn't a trainer at some point? What does he earn money for? Isn't it to make his Pokémon stronger and experience better treatment?

If we were to sell this thing, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

The same goes for the highest-grade Moonstone; if an elf could use it, that item would be priceless.

So even though Ash is now surrounded by treasures, it can't be denied that he's so poor he's wearing holey pants.

However, what Ash didn't know was that if he told Sabrina about his lack of money, she would give him all the assets of the Goldenrod Gym...

In addition, Ash also took some free time to go back to the group and report his victory over Sabrina.

Although the process wasn't particularly easy, it certainly wasn't difficult either. So Xiaozhi was still a little proud and said in the group that the expert's prediction was wrong.

[Newbie Ash: The champion said my chances of winning were only 60% after catching Gastly, but Sabrina didn't seem that difficult. Although there were some unexpected things, everything was under control!]

[Champion Ash: Did you use Aura Fusion?]

[Newbie Ash: Yes, I used it, but that doesn't count as cheating. If we're talking about cheating, Sabrina cheated first! Who uses psychic powers to remove taunts or inflict confusion as a form of cheating in a battle? She did it first!]

[Champion Ash: I didn't say you cheated. I just meant... the 60% chance of winning I mentioned was the possibility of you fusing with Gastly's Aura. I estimated that you only had a 60% chance of successfully fusing with Gastly's Aura, which is why I said your chance of winning was 60%.]

[Champion Ash: I also know a little about Aura Power. Although I'm not as powerful as the Aura Warriors in the group, I have no problem achieving Aura Resonance with certain Pokémon, which is what you call Aura Fusion.]

[Champion Ash: I calculated the average strength of Sabrina across various parallel worlds, and considering her psychic abilities, I concluded that if you and Gengar can use Aura Fusion, you're practically guaranteed to win. But if you can't, with your current command skills, your chances of winning are slim.] [Champion Ash: So whether you can beat Sabrina depends on the bond between you and Gastly. However, based on what you've said, the difficulty of your fusion is lower than I imagined. Can capturing Pokémon with physical attacks really increase their acceptance that much?]

The method of capturing Pokémon with fists and kicks was proposed by Champion Ash, but even he, the proposer, did not expect that the Pokémon captured in this way would have such a miraculous effect.

[Ash the Aura: So, using Pokémon battles to catch Pokémon only results in the caught Pokémon accepting your command methods at best. You'll need to spend a lot of time with them to gradually build a bond.]

[Aura Warrior Ash: But if the trainer personally battles the Pokémon and defeats and captures it, then the Pokémon will recognize the trainer's battle prowess. In ancient times, before Poké Balls could restrain Pokémon, this was how humans were able to fight alongside their Pokémon!]

[Tactical Master Ash: Heh, that's a crooked way of thinking. Of course you have to use Pokémon in a Pokémon battle, why use humans?]

[Aura Warrior Ash: Why use your brain when you can solve things with your fists? Why don't you see if your tactics are better, or mine?]

[Tactical Master Xiao Zhi: Come on! Who's afraid of who! Let's fight in the arena in the group!]

[Ash the Aura Warrior: Hey, just you wait, I'll beat your Pokémon to a pulp!]

Xiao Zhi was completely baffled by the sudden argument between the two big shots in the group. Why did they suddenly start arguing?
What's the deal with the arena in the group?

How come he hasn't seen this feature before?
[Newbie Ash: Um... Champion, what's with the Arena in the group chat? Where is this feature located?]

[Champion Ash: You can't use it yet. You need to win at least one tournament to unlock that feature. There are also other features in the group that will gradually be added as you progress, so just look forward to it. Also, you've collected four badges now, so you can check out the lottery.]

[Newbie Ash: Okay, thank you, pro.]

The chat group would add new features as his travel experiences increased, something Xiao Zhi hadn't expected.

That arena feature seems to allow characters from different parallel worlds to battle each other. I really want to unlock that feature soon and try out battles with characters from other worlds!

Although there's a high probability they'll get beaten to a pulp...

While thinking about it, Xiao Zhi went to the notification bar to check the number of draws, and found that he had two draws left.

One instance was after obtaining the Gold Badge, reaching a total of four badges, which granted additional chances to participate in the lottery.

Another instance was when he defeated Shigeru to gain a chance to win a lottery.

[Defeat your childhood rival, Shigeru, in a head-on confrontation. Reward: 1 lottery draw chance.]

That arrogant guy actually gave him more chances to win prizes, which was something Ash never expected.

Speaking of which, he had many other firsts, such as his first time owning an advanced-level Pokémon, his first time owning an elite-level Pokémon, his first time holding hands with a girl... cough cough, in short, he had experienced all sorts of firsts.

However, it seems that only a handful of people were able to meet the criteria for being eligible for a lottery draw in this chat group on their very first try.

Defeating Shigeru, his childhood rival, was something he had longed for. After all, he had been suppressed since childhood and dreamed of finally taking him down in a head-on fight!
So it's not surprising that he got a chance to win the lottery, but what he doesn't understand is why the Rockets trio was able to provide the chance to win the lottery in the first place.

Could it be because the chat group judged them to be his mortal enemies?

Xiao Zhi shook his virtual head to suppress the jumbled thoughts in his mind, and then opened the lottery page.

"Please, give me another S-rank!" Ash rubbed his hands together excitedly, then pressed the lottery button.

If Ash Ketchum, who is considered unlucky, heard his wish, he would probably faint from anger.

What kind of people are these?! He can't even get a B-rank, while newbie Ash is already thinking about getting his third S-rank.

Is this the composure of a European champion?
As Xiao Zhi clicked, the wheel started spinning. After a moment, the two pointers stopped at the same position – Area A!
Congratulations on drawing an A-rank ability: Eternal Power.

Congratulations on winning an A-level one-time opportunity: MEGA's Guidance

The power of Tokiwa? The guidance of MEGA?
What are these things? I've never heard of any of them.

When you're confused, you should ask in the group chat.

I just don't know if I'll run into Ash Ketchum, who's incredibly unlucky...

[Newbie Ash: Hey pros, do you guys even know what Viridian Power is?]

[Wild King Xiaozhi: I know this well. The Power of Viridian is a power nurtured within Viridian Forest, and only those chosen by Viridian Forest can obtain it. Unfortunately, I am that person.]

[Wild King Xiaozhi: After obtaining the power of Viridian, I was able to communicate directly with Pokémon, understand their feelings, help them recover from injuries, calm their inner turmoil, and even gain their favor naturally. I can even communicate with plants and trees.]

[Wild King Xiaozhi: If Aura Force is a primary combat ability with secondary support, then Viridian Force has no combat capabilities whatsoever; it's all support skills. Did you pull Viridian Force? What level is it?]

[Newbie Ash: Uh... it's A-rank.]

[Wild King Xiao Zhi: Wow, another A-rank. No wonder that unlucky guy wanted to kill you.]

[Newbie Ash: ...]
