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

Chapter 127 The craze sparked by the prospective Heavenly King, the Heavenly King's sister, Aya.

Upon arriving in Fuchsia City, Ash and his friends were dumbfounded. What on earth was this Fuchsia City, packed with people?

After they found the Fuchsia Gym, they discovered a long line stretching as far as the eye could see from the gym entrance.

Are these people crazy? The Fuchsia Gym is one of the four major gyms in Kanto. Are they just looking for trouble by challenging this gym?

Ash randomly asked someone what was going on with the Fuchsia Gym, and the person looked at Ash and his friends as if they were aliens.

"You don't know that the leader of the Scarlet Gym is a potential Elite Four member?"

"I know, but doesn't the fact that they're considered for the Elite Four further prove how difficult this gym is? Shouldn't they be challenging other gyms instead?"

The man sized Ash up and then said, "You're a novice trainer, aren't you?"

"Um... I've been traveling for two months now." Ash wanted to say that he was no longer a rookie trainer, but considering the time, it seemed that he was indeed no different from a rookie.

"So you really are a novice trainer, that's why you don't understand the significance of the Crimson Gym." The random trainer waved his hand, as if to say, "You're still too young."

"Think about it, isn't Akari, the leader of the Fuchsia Gym, a candidate for Elite Four? Although she's called a candidate, she's no different from a regular Elite Four member. Anyone who can serve as a candidate for Elite Four already possesses the true strength of an Elite Four member; she just hasn't officially taken office yet."

"Normally, it would be incredibly difficult to meet or even battle the Elite Four! But here, as long as you challenge a gym, you can receive guidance from the Elite Four, and they will even adjust the difficulty of the challenge based on your Pokémon. What other gym besides the Crimson Gym can offer such a great deal?"

The Four Heavenly Kings are like celebrities; you can basically only see them on TV. If you want to challenge them, you can only do so by winning the league championship, or by just bumping into them on the street, and maybe they'll give you some pointers if they're in a good mood.

Now, in Fuchsia City, you can receive guidance from Elite Four level trainers without any barriers!

Isn't this an amazing opportunity? Trainers with any sense of skill are rushing to challenge this gym. Even if they lose, they can gain experience and improve significantly.

Aside from the Crimson Dojo, are there any other places that offer such a high-level coaching experience?

After listening to the stranger's words, Ash and his friends finally understood, and they felt that it made a lot of sense.

For an ordinary person, let alone fighting against a Heavenly King, even meeting one is extremely difficult.

But now, at the Crimson Dojo, there's a ready-made Elite Four member you can challenge, and regardless of whether you win or lose, this Elite Four member will give you some pointers. Where else can you find such a good deal!
"Wait a minute, are there other gyms in Kanto that are at this level? Crimson, Viridian, and Goldenrod all have Champion-level strength. And isn't Viridian the strongest gym in Kanto?" Ash asked with a puzzled look.

When it comes to Elite Four level gyms, it's not just Crimson that has them. Kanto, aside from everything else, has top-tier gyms. Other regions might not have a single Elite Four level gym, but Kanto has four!

Upon hearing this, the passerby trainer looked slightly surprised: "I didn't expect a newbie like you to know this, but other places are different from the Fuchsia Gym."

"You can easily find out how terrifying the Goldenrod Gym is by searching online. The Crimson Gym has recently stopped accepting challengers because, like the Fuchsia Gym, it had a lot of challengers trying to challenge it, but the gym leader thought those people were too weak, so he closed the gym."

"Finally, there's the Viridian Gym. You need to make a reservation to challenge the Viridian Gym, and the Gym Leader is often not at the gym. If you're unlucky, you'll only be able to battle the Gym Leader in training. So only with the Crimson Gym can you get 100% guidance from the Elite Four."

"Moreover, because of the closure of Crimson Gym, everyone is worried that Fuchsia Gym will follow suit, so the competition has become even more intense. We all want to challenge Fuchsia Gym at least once before it closes down, so we can get guidance from the Elite Four!"

The random trainer talked on and on, his mouth getting dry from speaking so much.

However, he himself was quite satisfied. It can only be said that Xiaozhi and his friends were lucky to have picked someone who liked to talk and explain science.

If it were an ordinary person, they would at most explain to Ash and the others why they had to wait in line at the Fuchsia Gym.

But now that the reasons have been explained, we have to stand in line obediently.

Based on the length of this team, even if Aju himself and his Pokémon were made of iron, it would be impossible for him to face so many challengers in a single day.

So if you queue up now, there's a high chance you won't be able to challenge Aju today.

"Hey, I also wanted to ask, if the Fuchsia Gym closes, what will happen to the remaining challengers?"

"What to do? Of course, you'll just have to wait until it opens tomorrow, unless you want to queue up again."

The words of the random trainer left Ash and his friends completely bewildered.

Good grief, so you can't even leave the queue before you get a turn!

Once someone leaves the queue, they have to rejoin the queue, meaning that at least one person must stay in the queue overnight.

Judging from the current progress of the team, if no one leaves the queue, it will take them at least three days to challenge the gym.

"...Are these people crazy?" Xiao Zhi couldn't help but complain.

Are these people out of their minds to queue for three days to challenge a gym? Is it really necessary to be this crazy just to get guidance from an Elite Four trainer?

If other people who know Xiaozhi's situation knew about this idea, they would definitely say that he was talking without understanding the situation.

Ash receives guidance from Elite Four trainers every day, a privilege that is extremely rare for others, and those trainers are not just Elite Four members, but Champions!

Those who give pointers to Xiaozhi in the group, aren't they all at the pinnacle of existence in parallel worlds?

Not only champion trainers, but also breeders, body-training experts, attribute specialists, and so on.

For Ash, guidance from high-level trainers is absolutely worthless, but for ordinary trainers like him, it is an extremely rare opportunity, so even if they have to wait in line for three days, they have to wait!

Ash originally planned to come here to spar with the Elite Four trainers. He hadn't thought about giving them pointers or anything. If he really wanted to review the game, wouldn't it be better to write down the whole situation and then send it back to the group for review?
However, it seems there's little hope of challenging A-Ju now. I should have gone to the Blue Smoke City Gym with Gary.

"Don't let the Indigo League start and we still not have all the Gym Badges; that would be quite a blunder." A passerby trainer, seeing Ash and the others preparing to leave, said with a slightly agitated expression.

"Huh? Yeah, with such a long line, are we really going to wait there for three days if we don't leave?"

"But this is the gym of the potential Elite Four member, Mr. Akai! As long as you can queue up to challenge Mr. Akai, under his guidance, your path as a trainer will definitely be smooth sailing, leading you to a bright future!"

Xiao Zhi: ...

Haha, what the hell is this flat plain? I receive guidance from champion trainers every day, and I don't see any flat plain at all.

To think that you can pave your way to becoming a trainer with just one battle is pure fantasy.

Only by constantly facing challenges and setbacks can one truly grow into a top-tier trainer.

He was scolded mercilessly by himself in the group countless times before he achieved his current success.

What can one piece of guidance accomplish?
"When you actually battle a Champion Trainer, you'll find that the battle might not be as helpful as you thought," Ash said, patting the random Trainer on the shoulder with a serious expression.

The passerby trainer was stunned. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were some kind of top trainer. How dare a trainer who has only been in the industry for two months say such a thing!
What the hell? Elite Four trainers aren't much help. Do you have a champion mentor or something?

"Young man, you're not that old, but you've got quite the nerve." A voice suddenly rang out behind Xiao Zhi. The three of them turned around and saw a person completely covered up.

"...Who are you?" Ash subconsciously scanned the area with his Aura and, finding that the other person was not Team Rocket in disguise, asked.

"Never mind who I am. You just said that fighting against the Heavenly King wouldn't be helpful, right?"

"I didn't say that, okay? I just said that one battle isn't that helpful!" Ash rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless.

What kind of person is this? Does he only listen to half of what he says? He completely ignored the other half.

"That's roughly the idea. So let me ask you, if you were given the chance to challenge the Heavenly King, would you do it?"

"Of course we'll fight!" Ash said without hesitation. The Elite Four might not be able to provide him with guidance, but they could definitely put pressure on his Pokémon. Only under pressure can Pokémon improve significantly.

For him, this was the most tangible benefit of fighting the Heavenly King, rather than some vague and illusory guidance.

"Hmph, you just said it was useless, but now you've agreed so quickly. To put it bluntly, you just want to challenge Brother... Mr. Aju. But if you think you can use this demeaning method to get in first, then you're making a big mistake."

Xiao Zhi: ...

Who is this guy? He seems to be protecting Aju. He didn't say anything, but the other person managed to extract all the negative parts of his words about Aju and completely changed the meaning of his speech.

Why can't he stand hearing even the slightest bad word about A-Ju? Is he some kind of die-hard fan of A-Ju?

"You just said you've been a trainer for two months, right? If you had more than four gym badges, I could take you straight into the Fuchsia Gym. The question is, do you have any? Heh, if not, then stop talking big... Huh???"

Before the man in black could finish speaking, Ash opened his jacket, revealing five badges neatly pinned to it.

These badges immediately cut the man in black off before he could finish speaking.

No, I hadn't even finished speaking, how did you slap me in the face like that? Five badges in just two months since your debut? Are you kidding me?!
Just as the man in black was about to make another sarcastic remark, she noticed the Pikachu on Ash's shoulder, a creature she hadn't paid much attention to, and a thought suddenly came to mind.

"Are you Ash from Pallet Town?"

"Um...you know me?"

"You defeated Sabrina from the Goldenrod City Gym?" The man in black didn't answer Ash's question, but continued to ask.

"Is there a problem? After all this talk, you still haven't told me who you are? You just said you could take me into the Fuchsia Gym, what makes you think you can?"

Faced with Ash's question, the woman in black looked around and noticed that the people in line had already turned their attention to her. So she grabbed Ash's hand and said, "Come with me first."

Ash was a little confused, but he still followed the other person and left. If this person could help him challenge the Fuchsia City Gym, that would be great. Even if it was just talk, it didn't matter. Anyway, they weren't in line and were planning to leave Fuchsia City.

Although the people in line were also curious about what was going on, they were already quite far ahead in the queue, and if they left, they would have to wait another day or two. After weighing the pros and cons, no one decided to follow them out.

Led by the man in black, Ash and his friends arrived at the left side of the Fuchsia Gym. There was no one there. The man in black then lifted his cloak, revealing his true face.

Beneath the black cloak was a head of long green hair and a charming, fair face.

"A girl...a girl?" Xia stared wide-eyed, saying in disbelief.

The man in black's voice was so hoarse, it didn't sound like a girl's voice at all, but it turned out that there was such a beautiful girl under the cloak.

Xiao Gang's cheeks turned bright red instantly; his DNA was about to kick in again!

"Ah, beautiful lady, from the first moment I saw you, I felt that we were already drawn together by the red thread of fate. You are the one destined for me, and I have already imagined how we will spend the rest of our lives together!"

"Stop going crazy here, we're talking about serious business!" Xiaoxia, unable to bear it any longer, slapped Xiaogang on the head and then threw the smoking Xiaogang behind Xiaozhi.

The woman who revealed her true face was also a little confused by Xiao Gang's actions, but she quickly came to her senses and looked at Xiao Zhi with her beautiful eyes as she introduced herself: "My name is Aya, and I am the younger sister of Aya, the Gym Leader of Fuchsia City. Now you know why I can bring you into Fuchsia City, right?"

Aya? Aju's sister? No wonder she could guarantee she'd take him to the Fuchsia Gym. But how does she know him? Has his reputation already reached Aju's ears? Ash's doubts remained unresolved.
