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

Chapter 140 The power of the mythical beasts in the Mysterious Garden, with Victini's help?
Rainbow City Team Rocket Underground Headquarters —

A man with a buzz cut looked at the scene on the screen in front of him, his large, rough hand slowly stroking the head of a cat boss beside him. After a moment, he pressed a button next to him, and his deep voice echoed in the room.

"Athena, investigate all information about Ash in Pallet Town. Also, if you have the chance to meet him, bring him back."

……

At this moment, everyone around the world who had been following this battle silently remembered Ash's name.

With only two months of experience since debut, he overwhelmingly defeated the ace of the candidate king. This achievement is enough to demonstrate how terrifying his talent is and how exaggerated his strength is!
However, some discerning trainers know the inside story: Ash's Bulbasaur isn't actually that powerful, but rather it's been boosted to that level through special means.

As for what special method it was... only Ash would know.

At the Fuchsia Gym, Ajuga had already retrieved the Crobat from the field. The gym grounds were now in a dilapidated state, and the League would probably have to spend a lot of money.

Ash did not recall Bulbasaur, but instead used Aura to continue guiding it.

"After the battle just now, I think you should have made a decision in your heart, right? You can certainly become stronger without evolving, but there are some things you can't obtain without evolving."

'Your strength will increase much more slowly than you evolve, and you won't be able to use that Hardening Plant move anymore. Also, the fighting styles of evolved and non-evolved characters are completely different.'

'Without evolving, you can use your agility to maneuver and fight your opponent. If you evolve, it's the fighting style I just taught you: no matter how strong you are, I will respond.'

'The two fighting styles are completely different, so you must quickly determine your path. Wavering back and forth will only slow your progress.'

Ash's voice echoed in Bulbasaur's heart. Feeling the surge of power within him and reflecting on the battle he had just fought, his gaze gradually hardened.

"Dana!" I want to evolve!!

Just as A-Jie was about to go up and say something to Ash, he was startled by Bulbasaur's sudden cry. Somewhat confused, he said, "Ash, you've already won this match. You can let Bulbasaur stop doing this battle stance, right?"

"Hehe, don't mind him. He just had some insights during the battle and needs to digest and absorb them. Give him some time." Ash waved his hand, indicating that Kikyo had misunderstood Bulbasaur's meaning.

A-Ju's face showed an extremely strange expression.

Insight? What kind of insight? The insight of instantly defeating the Crossbat in one move? What kind of insight can you possibly gain from that!

Could it be to relive the feeling of a flash sale?
"That's good, but don't evolve yet. Your trainer will take you to a suitable place before you evolve."

Ash's voice echoed in Bulbasaur's mind once again, but these words made Bulbasaur feel very strange.

What do you mean by 'your trainer'? Aren't you my trainer?
"The rest is up to you." After leaving these words, Champion Ash's soul returned from Ash's body to the chat group, and then returned to his own body through the chat group.

Ash's gaze gradually focused after it had been unfocused, and at that moment, Kikyo had come up in front of Ash.

His original intention was to give the crimson badge to Ash, but suddenly, he felt that Ash in front of him seemed to have changed.

It seems like Ash has turned back into the original Ash!
This sounds a bit convoluted, but it means exactly what it says.

During her third battle with Ash, A-Ju felt that Ash was like a completely different person. Although his appearance hadn't changed, his aura was entirely different.

And while that Ash was different, he also had some similarities to the original Ash... During the battle, A-Ju was focused on the battle, but after the battle, he always felt that something was off about the Ash from before.

Does this mean Ash has a second personality?

At this moment, Ash, who had already returned, was still thinking about what Champion Ash had told him after he left.

"Since Bulbasaur has chosen to evolve, let's give it the best evolution possible. In the Kanto region, there's a place called the Mysterious Garden. Inside the garden is a magical tree containing the power of Xerneas, the god of life. Using that power to evolve, Bulbasaur can achieve a perfect evolution, perhaps even gaining power similar to Charizard."

The power of Charizard mentioned here is naturally its sacred fire.

Sacred fire is the power of the gods, yet Charizard was already able to harness it for his own use at this time.

This has resulted in Charizard's strength far exceeding its own level, even without Ash's help.

If Bulbasaur wants to catch up with Charizard and become the backbone of the team, then it needs the same strength.

Although parallel worlds have many differences, they also share some similarities.

The Mysterious Garden that exists in Ash's world may not actually exist in this world. However, if Mysterious Gardens exist in other parallel worlds, then Ash's world must also have such a place.

The champion Ash had already investigated this point, which is why he left this message for Ash.

Ash was still pondering what the Mystery Garden was when he saw a pink badge appear before his eyes.

"This is proof of defeating the Fuchsia Gym, the Pink Badge. Congratulations, Ash."

Ash's face lit up with joy. He took the Pink Badge, held it up, and shouted, "I got the Pink Badge!"

"Pikachu... Pikachu..." Pikachu called out weakly from Misty's arms not far away, then collapsed back into Misty's embrace.

Although some time had passed, he had not recovered at all. After all, the battle had exhausted all his strength. If Ash hadn't used the power of Viridian to heal him, he probably wouldn't even have the strength to shout now.

"Dana!" Bulbasaur walked to Ash's feet, a happy smile on its face.

For Bulbasaur, this battle not only determined the direction of his future progress, but also allowed him to completely vent his depression.

He is actually quite proud and has a lot of confidence in himself.

However, after joining Ash's team, he gradually fell behind the other Pokémon because he was unwilling to evolve. Charmander and Squirtle, who joined the team later, had already left him behind.

Even Riolu is getting closer and closer to him, the pressure is really immense!
But in this battle, all those emotions were completely released with the exhilarating victory! He hadn't had such a satisfying battle in a long time, and against a powerful spirit that he had never been able to touch before and was incomparable to.

Even though the power it possessed was only temporary, Bulbasaur still got a real taste of what it was like to play in a high-level match.

However, as the battle ended, the power within him began to slowly dissipate.

The feeling of the power that filled his body gradually disappearing was really not good, but what could he do when it wasn't his own power?
But there is good news: a portion of this power was retained within him, causing his level to leap directly to the intermediate elite level, and his abilities also seemed to have increased to varying degrees.

[Species: Bulbasaur]

[Gender: Male]

[Attributes: grass, poison]

[Level: Elite Intermediate]

[Characteristics: Lush]

[Skills: Impact, Leaf Blade, Vine Whip, Rooting, Growth, Grass Slide, Sunny Day, Petal Dance, Sunshine Blaze...]

[Six Stats: Physical Attack A (A), Special Attack A (S), Defense A (A), Special Defense A (A), HP A (S), Speed ​​A (A)]

Ash glanced at Bulbasaur's stats, and even he was amazed by the improvement this time.

While leveling up a large tier, I also leveled up a small tier and learned many skills that I didn't know before, such as Sunny Day, Petal Dance, and Sunfire.

These skills should be the skills of Ash's Venusaur. Because of the possession, Venusaur can use these skills as well, but unfortunately, Harden Plant is not in the skill list.

It seems that this skill is indeed not something Bulbasaur can learn.

The hardened plant during the battle left a deep impression not only on the audience but also on Ash.

However, Harden Plant is a move that Grass-type starter Pokémon can only learn after their final evolution. Even though Bulbasaur temporarily tried it out, it ultimately failed to learn it.

Aside from skills, the biggest change is in the six-dimensional abilities.

Bulbasaur's six stats have all been upgraded by one level!
Two of its six-dimensional abilities have already reached the S level. If we can find a way to raise the upper limit of one of its abilities to S, then Bulbasaur will have the potential to become a god-level being.

This possession experience was truly rewarding!
"May I have a word with you, Ash?"

"Hmm? It's alright, Mr. Aju, you can ask me anything here."

Upon hearing this, A-Ju glanced at the surrounding cameras, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head: "Never mind, maybe next time. You won this battle beautifully, Ash. I've completely lost. It seems I need to mature a bit more before I can become the Elite Four member of Johto."

Ash waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, that's not true. I only managed to defeat you, Mr. Aju, by taking advantage of the information gap. In the end, Bulbasaur was able to defeat you by relying on the power of another Pokémon. Otherwise, I was originally planning to just play casually in the third match."

A-Ju was taken aback: "The power of a certain Pokémon?"

"Yes, the Pokémon's voice suddenly appeared in my mind. He said he sensed my desire for victory, and if my desire for victory and the Pokémon's desire for victory could meet his requirements, he would give me power." Ash nodded and said seriously.

This left A-Ju completely bewildered. He had originally asked to speak privately to inquire about the details of Ash's last Bulbasaur.

Even though he knew it was Ash's secret, he still couldn't help himself. After all, it was just an advanced Pokémon. How could it defeat him, a Champion-level Pokémon with four times the resistance to Grass-type Pokémon, in one move?
If he doesn't understand why, he'll probably be restless and unable to eat or sleep for the rest of the month!
However, Xiao Zhi just blurted out the reason so clearly, but he didn't quite understand it.

Do you know what that elf's name is?

"Hmm... I think it's called Victini." Ash said, pretending to think.

A-Ju: !!
Victini?! That's the name of the Mythical Pokémon, the legendary god of victory!

As a potential Elite Four member, A-Ju's knowledge base is beyond doubt. Although information about Victini rarely appears in Kanto and Johto, A-Ju still knows about this Pokémon.

Victini is known as the God of Victory, and it is said that trainers who carry Victini will win any battle.

Victini's greatest strength lies in its ability to grant power to other Pokémon, and it is also known as the Infinite Pokémon, meaning that the power within it is inexhaustible.

Whether it's true or not, we don't know. After all, these are just legends. There are very few people in the world who have actually seen Victini, and even if they have encountered it by chance, they have never experienced its magical power.

This name is rarely known, yet today I actually heard it from Xiaozhi's mouth.

Combining the legend of Victini with Bulbasaur's explosive power growth, A-Jie came to a conclusion—it might really be Victini's doing!

The most unique aspect of Victini, according to legend, is that it can grant power to Pokémon that are driven by a desire for victory, which explains Bulbasaur's explosive increase in power.

As for whether Ash made this up... I think it's unlikely. Ash is a new trainer, so it's impossible for him to know about all the mythical Pokémon in the Unova region, right?
Furthermore, the extent of Bulbasaur's power boost seems to have no other explanation other than the help of mythical or legendary Pokémon.

So he didn't actually lose to Ash in this match, but to the legendary mythical Pokémon Victini?
Thinking of this, A-Ju felt inexplicably comforted; losing to a mythical beast doesn't mean you've lost.jpg

……

After receiving the badge, Ash said goodbye to Kikyo and prepared to leave Fuchsia City Gym. However, as soon as he stepped outside, he encountered a group of people who surrounded him, and a noisy commotion filled his ears.

Basically, the questions are about how Ash managed to train his Pokémon to such a level in just two months, what special methods he used to temporarily boost his Pokémon's strength, and how he trained Pikachu to be so powerful...

In short, there were all sorts of messy problems, and they surrounded Ash, leaving him no room to escape.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Ash, protecting Misty, unleashed his Aura, blasting everyone away and releasing Gardevoir. With a teleport, he took Misty and Brock and disappeared from everyone's sight.
