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

Chapter 112 Ash: Professional Level? Then I'll have to use cheat codes! Aura Fusion Charmeleon!

Rika actually has a pretty good temper, but Ash's fighting style is really disgusting to this veteran gym leader.

Yes, it was disgusting. That fighting style was so disgusting that Rika couldn't think of any other word to describe it.

Hypnosis, dream eating, ability swapping, position swapping... each of these skills is more disgusting than the last, leaving Rika feeling powerless to use her abilities.

The final defeat was incredibly frustrating!

Rika was determined to unleash her pent-up anger in this third game, so she chose to use one of her mainstays, Venusaur!

This Venusaur is the weakest of her main Pokémon, but it still has a beginner-level skill.

The difference between professional and elite levels is not small. The reason why Ash was able to defeat Raichu with an elite-level Pikachu was partly because Pikachu's partner form boost was too exaggerated, and the partner moves were all overpowered.

On the other hand, it's because Lt. Surge's Raichu was poorly trained, with all of his stats being extremely low.

Krillin's Venusaur is different. Ash glanced at its stats and saw that it was almost entirely B-rank. Although it didn't have A-rank stats, B-rank stats are already quite good for a Pokémon.

Grade E means the child has been trained to the point of being useless or has never even been trained. Grade D is considered relatively poor, Grade C is considered normal, and Grade B is already considered excellent.

A-rank Pokémon alone can block a large number of Pokémon, and the effort and refinement required to upgrade to A-rank are much more difficult than B-rank. Don't think that this level is easy to reach just because Ash has so many A-rank Pokémon.

In reality, very few people can raise a Pokémon's stats to A-rank. Because of this, Pokémon that reach A-rank stats have the ability to fight against opponents of higher ranks.

Characters like Kirlia, whose abilities are close to S-rank, can even transcend the differences between classes, fighting to a standstill against an elite mid-level character at the peak of their advanced stage, and ultimately emerging victorious.

Therefore, B-rank is already the highest stat that ordinary Pokémon can achieve at the same rank, which proves how well Rika's Venusaur has been trained.

This isn't an opponent that Ash can easily surpass!

So when Ash saw Venusaur, he was completely horrified. This was practically bullying a newbie! You think I won't shake Gengar over here?!
"Why aren't you saying anything? I can give you three moves first~ Don't say I'm bullying you." Rika was also afraid of scaring Ash away, and besides, she was the one who broke her promise first. Gym Badges to Ash regardless of winning or losing was a bit unethical.

After all, Ash isn't without Pokémon that can rival her. If she had said beforehand that she wanted to use a professional-level Pokémon to battle Ash, Ash might have already kept Gengar in his team ready.

So this time, she was in the wrong both emotionally and logically. She made a concession, saying that she would let Ash make three moves first, and then she would make her move.

Ash took a deep breath and nodded: "It's a deal. You'll let me have three moves, and I don't need you to win and give me a badge. We can settle this as a normal match. If I lose, I'll challenge you again next time."

Gym badges might have been acceptable to Ash in the past, but not now.

Winning is winning, and losing is losing. There is no such thing as fairness in the world. Others have been traveling, training, and honing their Pokémon for longer than you, and they are stronger than you. Why can't they use their own main Pokémon?
Suppressing the Pokémon's strength to the same level as the challenger is the greatest unfairness to the Gym Leader.

So Ash bluntly stated that if he wins, he'll take the badge; if he loses, he'll accept it and challenge again next time, rather than agreeing to let the other person give him the badge.

As for the three moves the other party conceded... well, you can only say that the other party broke the agreement first. After all, it was agreed that we would play on Elite difficulty, but it was changed to Professional difficulty at the last minute. So what's wrong with conceding three moves?
Hearing this, Rika was also a little surprised. She didn't expect Ash to be so stubborn, not even wanting the badge that was given away for free.

After all, most people challenge gyms for badges, but Ash doesn't seem to be doing it for badges.

"Okay, let's begin. I promise you, I won't retaliate."

"Bana!" Venusaur stomped its foot on the ground, taunting the Gardevoir that was already teetering on the edge of the field.

Gardevoir glanced at Venusaur but ignored her. She was already struggling to stand, but since Ash hadn't recalled her, it meant he had some other plan.

"Gardevoir, can you hold on?"

“Garde…” Gardevoir nodded.

"Then I'll ask you one last time, please use Sunny Day!"

Lijia was taken aback. This Gardevoir has so many skills, it even knows Sunny Day?
If Ash doesn't use Sunny Day on Venusaur, it means he's planning to use a Fire-type Pokémon next, since Sunny Day does significantly boost Fire-type damage.

However, her Venusaur's ability is the hidden ability Chlorophyll, which means that Sunny Day will provide the same boost to Venusaur. This not only sets up the field for Ash's Pokémon, but also for Venusaur.

"Gardevoir!" Gardevoir squeezed out the last bit of power within her body, condensing it into a small sun, and then tossed it into the sky.

A small sun formed from energy hung above the dojo, and the entire area brightened up again.

"Reflect, Light Screen!" Besides weather effects, the only other move that can be used on the next Pokémon is double screens.

The double wall does not disappear when a Pokémon leaves the field; it protects all friendly Pokémon on the field until time runs out.

After Gardevoir created two walls, it was completely out of power. Ash took out a Poké Ball and recalled Gardevoir: "Thanks for your hard work, little... no, you're not a little one anymore, you've grown into a mature and charming female Pokémon. Thanks, Gardevoir."

Ash placed the Poké Ball on his waist and then took out the next Poké Ball.

"For the second one... I choose you, Charmeleon!!"

"Roar!!"

With a flash of light, the majestic Charizard appeared on the field, letting out a deafening roar.

Ash's second Pokémon, and also the strongest Pokémon he currently has besides Pikachu and Gardevoir, is Charmeleon!

When Rika saw Charmeleon, she had a 'I knew it' look on her face. As expected, the second Pokémon was a Fire-type.

As for their strength, it's impossible to tell since there hasn't been a fight yet, but it's probably not that high.

After all, a Pokémon's form often represents its strength. This Charmeleon hasn't even reached its final form, so how strong can it be?
In the world, Pokémon that only increase their strength without evolving are extremely rare, unless they are those that need evolution stones to evolve.

"Is this one of your trump cards?"

"No... this is my true trump card!" Ash said, and a bright blue light appeared on the surface of his body. A strange power linked him with Charmeleon—Aura Fusion!
Given the current bond between Charmeleon and Charmeleon, the former can now accept more power, and due to the weighted vest and rainbow feathers, Charmeleon's physical attributes are much stronger than its level.

With both combined, Charmeleon's actual strength should be comparable to an elite high-level Charmeleon, almost a whole level higher! A method that Ash calls his trump card is certainly not simple.

While Charmeleon is still inferior to Venusaur, the gap is definitely not insurmountable.

However, even with Charizard's physical abilities, it's impossible to maintain this state for too long, since it's an overload of power enhancement.

Now they not only face formidable enemies, but also have to race against time. All these unfavorable factors combined have only fueled the Charizard's fighting spirit.

Rika noticed the blue light emanating from Ash, but she didn't know what it was. The only thing she knew was that after the blue light appeared on Ash, the Charmeleon seemed to become even stronger.

Is this a way for trainers to boost the power of their Pokémon?

Rumor has it that Ash is a special ability user who is no less powerful than Sabrina, and it seems that the rumor is true... This is unbelievable! How can a trainer who has only been around for a little over a month be this strong? It's ridiculous!
"It looks a bit different. Let me see just how strong your Charizard really is. Venusaur, Vine Whip!"

Four thick vines extended from Bulbasaur's body and lashed out at Charmeleon.

Ash slowly closed his eyes, and the power of the Aura extended from Charmeleon's body to the surroundings.

Charmander instantly sensed that even without seeing it, the trajectory of the opponent's attack would appear in his mind.

This wasn't the first time they had used waveguide fusion, but it was the first time they had used it in battle. Normally, they would just practice it to see how much their strength could improve.

So Charmeleon experienced the magic of waveguide fusion for the first time. The opponent's attack not only appeared in his mind, but also in slow motion.

The vine whip, which was originally as swift as a whirlwind, now seemed to have been slowed down tenfold.

Charmander charged out, its body darting and weaving across the field, dodging all the vine whips with its agile movements.

This scene startled Lijia, and a confused expression appeared on her pretty face.

This level... peak advanced? But this movement doesn't look like an advanced level at all. It should be at least mid-elite level or higher. What the hell? Can combat power and level be that different?

While Rika was still in a daze, Charmeleon had already arrived in front of Venusaur. But at that moment, two more vine whips extended from Venusaur's body!

This Venusaur can use six Vine Whips at once, and it was holding back at first!
Faced with this unexpected attack, Rika thought she was sure to hit, but Charmeleon leaned back and almost touched the ground, dodging the vine whip at such close range.

"What kind of reaction speed is that?!"

"Fire Fist!"

Rika is in shock, Ash is fighting back!
The Charizard, its body leaning back almost level with the ground, clenched its claws, blazing flames burning on its fists, before slamming them upwards!

"boom!"

The Flame Punch severed the two flying vines, and the remaining flames traveled along the vines towards Venusaur.

"Use Razor Leaf to cut the vine whip!" Seeing this, Rika didn't have time to marvel at Charmeleon's reaction speed and amazing flexibility. She quickly had Venusaur use Razor Leaf to cut the burning vine whip.

Two sharp blades spun out and instantly cut the flames, but at the same time, Charmeleon had already closed in on Venusaur.

"Flame Fist".

The punch, still burning with flames, slammed hard into Venusaur's head. This punch was incredibly effective!
"boom!!"

The enormous Venusaur was blasted back more than ten meters, its heels touching the barrier.

Lijia's expression turned serious, and she no longer held any contempt in her heart.

This Charmeleon isn't high-level, and it's not in its final form, but its strength is incredibly powerful!
"Venusaur, use Energy Ball!"

Despite the pain in her head, Venusaur began to gather an energy ball in front of her. In an instant, a bright green energy ball condensed in front of her and then blasted it towards Charmeleon.

With the added benefit of a sunny day, Venusaur's attack speed is twice as fast as before. In addition, its level is much higher than Charmeleon's, so theoretically, this move is impossible to dodge.

However, Charmeleon seemed to have a premonition and dodged the energy ball by a hair's breadth.

The energy ball struck the ground behind him, blasting a large hole in the ground.

Lijia's beautiful eyes almost popped out of their sockets. How could he dodge that? He must be cheating!
"Fire Fist!"

"You only know Fire Fist, don't you know any other moves?!"

Upon hearing the words "Flame Fist" once again, Rika finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Flame Fist, Flame Fist, and more Flame Fist!
Since Charizard entered the fray, it has not used any moves other than Flame Punch.

Most importantly, Charmeleon's dodging movements are simply not like those of a normal Pokémon. It seems to have a precognitive ability to predict all attacks and always manages to dodge Venusaur's attacks by the slightest margin.

This prevented Venusaur from unleashing its full potential, making the fight even more frustrating than before!
This is the main reason why Rika broke down.

Charmeleon had already reached Venusaur, and its flaming fist slammed into Venusaur's head once again.

"I refuse to believe it... Venusaur, tough it out, use Solar Beam!"

"boom!"

The Flame Punch struck the same spot on Venusaur's head once again. The power of the flames spread throughout Venusaur's body, causing it unbearable pain, but it still endured it, and energy rapidly accumulated on the flower stamen on its back.

Under the bright sunshine, the Sunfire was fully charged in seconds, then aimed at the Charizard at point-blank range and burst forth!
