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

Chapter 121 Riolu's Recovery, The Unscientific Professional Pikachu, Ash's Miracle.

Seven days after leaving Rainbow City—

"Riolu, use Bullet Punch!"

"Leo!" The small blue dog leaped out and threw a punch at the huge creature in front of it!
Charizard effortlessly blocked the Bullet Punch with its wing.

Then, with a flap of its wings, Riolu was launched into the air, performing several backflips on the ground before finally coming to a stop.

"Rio..." Riolu looked at his fist with a hint of dejection. That punch was the strongest he could throw, but it didn't even manage to scratch Charizard's skin.

"Alright, Charizard is an elite high-level Pokémon now, and it's a Flying-type. If you could hurt it, you'd probably have to bury it somewhere." Ash came up behind Riolu and rubbed Riolu's head to comfort it.

The Charizard nearby also let out a soft roar, agreeing with Ash's words.

If an elite, high-level Flying-type Pokémon like him were to get injured by a beginner-level Riolu, that would be truly outrageous. Would the game even continue?

"Time to eat! Go wash your hands!" Misty's clear voice rang out, causing Ash and Riolu, who were preparing to continue their battle, to abandon their training plans.

The sky is huge and the food is the biggest!
After washing his hands with water from the kettle, Ash and his Pokémon went to the small dining table.

"You're having such a nice meal today?" Xiao Zhi was slightly surprised by the variety of dishes on the table. Usually, lunch consists of only two or three dishes, but today there are a total of six.

"Xiaoxia did all of these. I assisted her. After learning for so long, it was time to put my skills into practice, so I made a little more than I should," Xiaogang said with a smile, taking off his apron.

Although Xiaoxia hadn't cooked a single meal along the way, she had actually been learning. She had already learned how to cook most dishes, but she just lacked real-world practice.

Ash was training Riolu today, so Misty volunteered to cook a meal, since she can't always rely on Brock and Ash!

"Hey~ Misty made this? It looks pretty good!" Ash praised first, then poured lunch for the Pokémon before sitting down to eat.

"Hmm... I put too much salt in this tomato and egg stir-fry. I can use less next time. And this fish-fragrant eggplant is a bit overcooked. This Mapo Tofu is good, the spiciness is just right..." Xiao Zhi commented as he ate.

Although these dishes have their flaws, they are already quite good for a beginner.

Xiaoxia's initial slight trepidation subsided after seeing Xiaozhi eating voraciously while offering his opinions.

Regardless of the reviews, it looks and tastes delicious, which means her first attempt at cooking was quite good!
All six dishes were eaten. Ash's appetite is flexible; he can eat as much as you cook. In any case, this amount of food is nothing compared to the energy he needs for training.

After eating and drinking their fill, it was Ash's turn to wash the dishes and clean up. The three members of the team mainly focused on fair division of labor and cooperation. Previously, Ash and Brock cooked, while Misty was responsible for gathering firewood, pouring water, and cleaning up the dishes.

Now that Xiaoxia and Xiaogang are cooking, it's naturally Xiaozhi's turn.

However, washing dishes didn't stop Ash from thinking about his Pokémon's training.

After a period of recovery, Riolu finally fully recovered three days ago. Not only was he able to train, but he was also progressing quite well, going from zero to the peak of the beginner level in just three days.

This is nothing like Ralts back then. Ralts could reach Beginner Level just by eating an eggshell, while Riolu still needed to train step by step.

But this speed is still extremely fast. After all, Riolu has to max out all its stats to the maximum. Under these circumstances, it can reach the beginner peak in three days, which is even faster than Caterpie did back then.

Bug-type Pokémon level up incredibly fast, and Riolu's ability to reach this level speaks volumes about its hard work and talent.

This also includes Ash's massage, Viridian Power, Aura Power, and the dozens of Strange Rosemary berries he made in Celadon City.

As Ash progressed through his journey, he had more and more ways to level up his Pokémon. This meant that even though the levels of the Pokémon he had were vastly different from what they used to be, the speed at which they leveled up didn't slow down much.

Aside from the four days after challenging the dojo where there was little training, the subsequent seven days of training included only one day of rest; the rest of the time was spent either battling in the wild or training in the open.

Ash's record in battles goes without saying; he's undefeated and has earned seventy or eighty thousand yen in pocket money. His reputation has also gradually spread, and most people who see a trainer with a Pikachu will ask if he is Ash.

This isn't just about Ash's reputation in wild battles, but also his reputation for defeating five gym leaders. Looking across the entire Kanto region, Ash is now considered a somewhat well-known rookie trainer.

Therefore, the idea of ​​making money through wild battles is practically obsolete. Who would bother to engage in wild battles with a trainer who has obtained five gym badges?
Xiao Zhi was also very fortunate that Rika had asked him to mix some perfume, which inadvertently led him to a way to make money. Otherwise, he would have been in real trouble with how to cover his travel expenses.

The "richest man in the group" must have a way to make money, but he may need to personally promote and publicize it before he can go ahead and do what he wants to do.

Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse? He earns money to become a powerful trainer, a top breeder, and a future Pokémon Master, but now he's putting all those things aside to make money. What a joke!

Therefore, meeting Rika that day was really important to Ash. Thanks to Rika, he is now preparing to become a rich man!

The perfume went on sale three days ago, and once its effects were revealed, coupled with the overwhelming publicity, it caused a sensation throughout Rainbow City and even the entire Kanto!

Not to mention the wealthy trainers, according to Rika, even some of the Elite Four members have come to her to buy this perfume.

This perfume was in high demand and short supply as soon as it hit the market.

Because perfumes are made entirely by hand, and the formulas cannot be revealed to those who do not trust them, there are relatively few people who make perfumes. In addition, the yield rate of perfumes is also low, so not many perfumes can be made in a day.

Not everyone has Ash's aura power, which allows him to fully see the energy within and thus perfectly regulate it.

This has resulted in only about a hundred bottles of perfume being shipped per day, but this quantity is far from meeting the demand and they sell out in the blink of an eye.

After all, this thing is a consumable, and a consumable with extremely high usage! So, even in the initial stage, Xiao Zhi's daily income has already exceeded five million!
When Ash heard the number, his newly developed mobile phone fell to the ground. If Pikachu hadn't caught it in time, the phone would probably have been ruined.

Three days have passed. Although production has increased, it is not by much. In addition, some craftsmen need to be reassigned to other perfumes, and there are issues with material supply. According to Lijia's estimate, the daily production should increase to a maximum of two hundred bottles.

But this is already a huge sum of money for Ash!

The first payment will be wired in three days, at which point Xiaozhi will be able to spend money without any worries!

It can even cover all of Xiaoxia and Xiaogang's expenses!
Besides resolving financial issues, all of Ash's Pokémon have also shown promising improvements during this period.

Needless to say, Riolu's body not only returned to normal, but he also reached the peak of the beginner level.

Bulbasaur remained stubbornly unwilling to evolve, but his attitude seemed to have softened somewhat. This was because Wartortle had already reached the peak of its advanced evolution, while Bulbasaur had only just reached that level.

In other words, Bulbasaur is about to be surpassed by Wartortle.

Once Wartortle reaches Elite level and evolves, Bulbasaur will likely fall far behind Wartortle.

By then, Bulbasaur's psychological letdown will be even greater.

Ash noticed Bulbasaur's psychological issues, but instead of persuading it to evolve, he advised it to relax and not compare itself to other Pokémon, but rather to focus on its own past performance.

There is no rule in the world that says you have to evolve to reach the top. Not evolving just means the road will be a little harder.

Bulbasaur was also deeply moved by Ash's words. If it were any other trainer, they would have definitely advised him to evolve immediately!

It was precisely because of Ash's attitude that Bulbasaur was even more conflicted about whether to evolve.

Evolving allows one to become stronger faster. Nowadays, Ash is facing enemies of increasingly higher levels. If his level and form are inferior to theirs, he probably won't be able to help at all.

Even Bulbasaur doesn't know how long his persistence can last; perhaps all it needs is a catalyst.

After tireless efforts, Pidgey finally evolved into Pidgeot yesterday!
His level has reached the elite mid-tier. As a veteran member of the team, his final evolution is actually later than Charizard and Gardevoir.

However, there was no way around it. One of those two had a cheat code, and the other had incredible talent. In addition, they were the ones who usually fought against Pikachu, so it was extremely difficult for Pidgeot to level up before.

Next up are two of Ash's three top fighters, Charizard and Gardevoir. Both of them are currently at the Elite High level and are both eager to see who can reach the Elite Peak first.

As for Teacher Da Pi... he became a professional.

Yes, Pikachu is now at the professional level.

When Xiaoxia and Xiaogang learned that Pikachu had advanced to the professional level, their expressions were beyond words. In just over two months, it went from the ordinary level to the professional level, and it was a Pikachu at that! Even science fiction wouldn't dare to write something like this!
The leveling up of an elf is closely related to several factors, including its form, race, talent, combat experience, and regular effort.

Pikachu is indeed very hardworking in training, but compared to Charizard and Gardevoir, it is actually a bit lacking, and its talent... is still 'ordinary' 6A level.

In terms of combat experience, it's less than those two who're fighting tooth and nail, and in terms of race and form... it's basically on par with Butterfly.

Even with all factors being below average, Pikachu's leveling speed is still better than Charizard and Gardevoir!
Not to mention Xiaogang and Xiaoxia, even Xiaozhi couldn't understand it at all.

He went to the group to ask the experts what was going on. Did Pikachu have any hidden abilities besides its fluctuating stats and partner form?

The experts in the group said that this was normal and that he would understand what was going on later.

Since the experts in the group all said it was normal, it meant that this might have happened in other parallel worlds as well, so Xiaozhi didn't investigate further.

This is how Ash's Pokémon have improved during this period. In addition, Misty and Brock's Pokémon have also improved at a similar rate with Ash's help.

Although they don't battle with humans as often as Ash, they still battle sometimes to let their Pokémon practice. Otherwise, if they only train and don't battle, their combat strength will be wasted.

Xiaoxia's Gem Starfish and Starfish have both reached the Pro level, a level that Xiaoxia had always dreamed of. Only by reaching this level could she barely keep up with her parents.

But now, after traveling with Ash for two months, it has been achieved so easily.

The gem starfish has even reached the intermediate professional level. In the past, Xiaoxia would never have dared to dream of such a thing.

In addition, Misty's Squirtle has also evolved into Wartortle, reaching the Advanced Intermediate level. It is still a bit behind Ash's Wartortle, but it is the younger one after all, and has experienced fewer battles, so it is normal.

The black seahorse is at the early advanced stage, and it has only recently been upgraded.

Brock's Onix has reached the Elite beginner level, while Graveler is stuck at the Advanced peak, Zubat is at the Advanced beginner level, and Wartortle is at the Advanced intermediate level.

Although the level increase may not seem like much, a steady improvement is actually a very happy thing for trainers.

Some things don't come with effort; for example, some gym trainers may have accumulated experience for over a decade, but their Pokémon can only ever reach the professional level.

Therefore, the kind of thing where you get a reward for your efforts is ultimately rare in the world. More often than not, you put in a thousand times the effort but end up only reaping the rewards of your hard work.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang both keenly realized that the reason their Pokémon were able to reap rewards for their efforts was probably related to Xiaozhi.

Although we don't know what Ash did, this is definitely a miracle created by Ash!
By staying by Ash's side, they've gained an incredible advantage!
