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

Chapter 143 The Guidance of MEGA, Big Fool Valley! The fossil Pokémon beneath Big Fool Valley.

Once a Pokémon reaches the professional level, its growth rate generally slows down. Reaching the gym level requires exceptional talent; otherwise, the rate of growth will plummet to almost zero.

If Pokémon could still achieve short tiers every seven days and long tiers every month, then champions would be everywhere in the world, and Elite Four members would be as common as dogs.

Before reaching the Gym level, you can still manage to level up with time and effort. But after that, things like aptitude and natural talent become very important. Unless there's a miraculous chemical reaction between the Pokémon and its trainer, Pokémon with poor natural talent will be stuck at the Gym level.

However, Ash's Pikachu, while not bad, is certainly not exceptionally good either.

A 6A-level aptitude is one in a million among Pikachu, but compared to Charizard and Gardevoir, it still has some distance to go.

Ash wasn't sure why Pikachu's strength had increased so quickly, but according to the experts in the group, Pikachu's current improvement was actually normal.

It seems there's some secret about Pikachu that he hasn't discovered yet, but the big shots in the group aren't willing to tell him, saying the time isn't right.

Besides Pikachu's improvement, Charizard reached the intermediate professional level, while Gardevoir only reached the professional level a week ago. After reaching the professional level, the improvement rate of the two Pokémon has obviously slowed down.

Only Pikachu remains far ahead of the pack.

Bulbasaur's strength had previously reached the Elite Intermediate level, directly surpassing Wartortle, but after twenty days, its strength has only reached the Elite Advanced level, although it had already reached this level a week ago.

Compared to before, the leveling speed is indeed a bit faster, but without evolution, the level increase is still somewhat slow.

Originally poised to reach its peak, Wartortle evolved into Blastoise during battles with Team Rocket and in daily engagements, bringing its level closer to Bulbasaur's and placing it at the mid-elite tier.

Pidgeot has already reached the peak of elite level. Although Ash rarely uses Pidgeot in official battles, it appears quite often in field battles.

Furthermore, Pidgeot trains very hard, so it still holds the upper hand over Bulbasaur and Blastoise.

Finally, there's Riolu. He's already reached the intermediate advanced stage, and in just under a month, he's skipped an entire major stage!
Besides Riolu's relatively low level, it's also because Riolu has strong talent and is well-suited to Ash's Aura power.

Besides exercising every day, he also meditates with Ash about auras, which makes him improve very quickly.

This is a training method that other Pokémon cannot use. If other Pokémon could also perform Aura Meditation with Ash like Riolu, their improvement speed would be even faster.

In addition, during these twenty days, Ash also rotated with the Pokémon in Professor Oak's lab. He met Primeape and Butterfree, whom he hadn't seen for a while, as well as Tauros and the Millennium Gengar.

They were living quite comfortably at Oak's lab, and under Gengar's tutelage, their strength improved quite quickly.

Gengar took on the role of a trainer in the backyard, and Ash also had Rika mail some perfumes to Professor Oak's lab, so everyone at Professor Oak's lab also had auxiliary items for training.

Compared to Ash's side, they lack the power of Viridian, the recovery from massage, and the nutritional support from food.

However, Gengar's ability to train Pokémon is even better than Ash's... After all, it's an ancient monster that has lived for thousands of years, so it can really do everything!

With Gengar's help, Butterfree has already reached Elite Level 1, which is quite an achievement for a Bug-type Pokémon.

The Infernape has reached the Elite Intermediate level and has begun to master the power of the Ghost type, and can also use Rage Punch quite skillfully.

According to Infernape, every time he uses Rage Punch, the Ghost-type power within him stirs and tries to fill his entire body.

The Infernape had a premonition that if it allowed the Ghost-type energy to spread directly like this, it might never be able to evolve in its lifetime.

Regarding the situation with Primeape, Ash asked the experts in the group, and they said that his hunch about Primeape was correct.

What he needs is to control the Ghost-type energy, not to be passively controlled by it. If the Ghost-type energy spreads throughout his body, then even if Infernape can still use Rage Punch, it will be unable to gather Ghost-type power.

However, the difficulty of evolving Primeape did surprise the people in the chat group. According to them, it wasn't that difficult for Primeape to evolve in their world. Ultimately, there were no examples of Primeape evolving in Ash's world.

Ash's Primeape will likely be the first to evolve, and once it does, it will be extraordinary, and may even receive a gift from the world.

Therefore, although evolution is difficult, as long as you persevere, you will definitely reap rich rewards.

Butterfree and Magmar both leveled up, but Gengar... his level didn't change at all.

There's no way around it; he's been at the advanced Heavenly King level for who knows how many years. If it were that easy to advance, he would have been the champion long ago.

However, he has recently felt that his bottleneck has loosened, and perhaps in another ten days or half a month, he will reach the peak of his career.

The above summarizes the growth of Ash and his friends over this period.

In addition, when Ash and Professor Oak were exchanging Pokémon, Professor Oak repeatedly reminded Ash that if he were to challenge the Viridian Gym, he should remember to take Ash with him.

Ash was a little confused. Why was Professor Oak being brought along when challenging a gym?
Professor Oak's reason was that the Gym Leader of Viridian City was an old friend of his, and he took the opportunity to catch up with his old friend while Ash was challenging the Gym.

Ash readily agreed, figuring it was just a matter of watching the battle and wouldn't have any negative impact.

……

After a twenty-day journey, Ash and his friends arrived at a place called Big Fool Valley, which has recently become very popular because it is said that fossil Pokémon fossils have appeared there.

With the technology of the Pokémon world today, it is possible to revive Pokémon that are dormant and near death in fossils or amber.

So once you find the fossil of a Pokémon in Big Fool Valley, it's like owning a Pokémon that has gone extinct!
Whether it's for value, vanity, or a sense of satisfaction, countless people are drawn to Big Fool Valley, all in the hope of finding a fossil Pokémon!

Ash and his friends came here for two reasons: one was for the fossils, and the other was that the one-time ability Ash had previously obtained was finally showing signs of life.

The one-time ability—MEGA's guidance—can lead Ash to find at least one evolution stone and one evolution key stone, but what kind of evolution stone it is is unknown.

But something is better than nothing. Mega Evolution doesn't even exist in this world yet.

How exaggerated would the power be for a Pokémon to evolve again after its final form?

As we all know, evolution usually leads to a level increase, and after evolution, various stats of the body will increase. This is why Pokémon undergo a qualitative change after evolution.

Furthermore, the further a Pokémon evolves, the greater the improvement becomes; there is a significant difference between the first and second stages of evolution.

Mega Evolution is essentially a three-stage evolution, and its improvement is self-evident. Otherwise, how could it compare to a system as bug-like as Dynamax?

The most powerful aspect of the Dynamax system is that it can double a Pokémon's HP and give its moves an epic boost!
Each move is equivalent to a special move of its type, and it also comes with special effects, such as Max Airstream increasing Speed, Max Earth increasing Special Defense, etc.

If this system didn't have an energy limit, generally only allowing three moves to be unleashed and not being able to be recalled into a Poké Ball, it would probably be the strongest of the four major systems.

However, given the limitations of the field, turns, and rotation, Dynamax isn't too overpowered. On the contrary, Mega Evolution, which has no limitations and can last for an entire battle, is quite powerful.

These were all explanations given to Xiao Zhi by the experts in the group. In reality, Xiao Zhi had never even seen a single system, let alone the four major systems.

If he can find evolution stones and evolution key stones in Big Fool Valley, then this will be his first system.

Upon arriving at Big Fool Valley, the place was already packed with people. As far as the eye could see, there were heads everywhere, each person wielding a hoe and digging the ground, trying to unearth some kind of elf fossil in Big Fool Valley.

Besides trainers who want to revive fossil Pokémon, there are also all sorts of people here, such as miners and merchants, since fossils are extremely valuable!

Even if you don't need the fossils you dig up, you can sell them to others. As long as you don't revive the fossils, it doesn't count as a trading spirit, and you don't need to sell them secretly.

So, the time to get rich is today!

As for Ash, he has more money than he can spend. He earns millions every day, and as long as he doesn't buy those extremely rare items, he has enough money to train Pokémon for the rest of his life.

Therefore, if someone were to actually dig up some ore and want to sell it, Xiaozhi would have the money to buy it.

To be honest, those miners' efficiency in finding fossils is nothing compared to Xiaozhi's.

Fossil Pokémon can be mechanically revived because they did not die completely when they entered their fossil form; their bodies still retained vitality. They simply turned into fossils for self-protection.

However, once a Pokémon becomes a fossil, it cannot escape its fossil state without the help of others to revive it. Therefore, becoming a fossil is a last resort for fossil Pokémon.

And Ash... he has the power of Aura!
Everything in the world has waveguides. As long as there is life, there will be waveguide fluctuations. Although fossil Pokémon are in a fossil state, they are not considered dead. Therefore, Ash's waveguide power can detect their existence.

At this moment, Ash and the others were all wearing masks, and Ash even took off his hat. Unless you are very familiar with Ash, you generally wouldn't recognize him.

Moreover, everyone is busy hoeing the fields, and no one will notice that Xiao Zhi has actually come to Big Fool Valley.

"There are too many people here. Let's find a quiet place first." Xiao Zhi looked around and saw that almost every place had people hoeing the ground. The more people there were, the more waveguides there would be, which would make it more difficult to search for those faint fossil waveguides.

So he turned to Xiaoxia and Xiaogang and suggested that they switch seats first.

After obtaining their consent, Ash released Gardevoir and used Teleport to reach a relatively open area.

This is already considered the edge of Da Sha Valley. Most people wouldn't come to a place like this because the chances of finding fossils in the edge areas are very small.

However, for Ash, once the waveguide detection is activated, it doesn't matter where he is.

"Alright, let's see if there are any fossil Pokémon here."

Ash closed his eyes, and the power of his aura penetrated downwards. Since fossils were dug out, it was natural to use the power of aura to probe downwards. A few seconds later, Ash opened his eyes, and the power within his body slowly receded.

"How's it going, Ash?"

Yes! And lots of them!

"a lot of!!!"

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang exclaimed in surprise.

Fossil Pokémon are extinct creatures. It was only in recent years that the League invented a machine to revive them, allowing them to see the light of day again.

Even fossils are extremely precious. To revive a fossil Pokémon, you first need to have a fossil. Fossils are very rare on the market, and every fossil that can be revived will be sold for an astronomical price!
Of the three people present, probably only Xiao Zhi could afford a fossil Pokémon that could be revived.

But now, Ash says there are a lot of fossils here!

This is sure to make you rich!
Although they certainly don't lack money at all, who would complain about having too much money?
Their purpose in coming here was simply to obtain one fossil each, which would be more than enough for them.

It's not about quantity, but quality when it comes to Pokémon. Getting a fossil Pokémon and raising it well is already quite good.

So, as Ash said, they discovered many fossils. Not only can each of them get a fossil, but they can also sell the rest!

This covers the cost of reviving the fossil... although Ash isn't short of money.

However, while the two were getting excited, Ash slowly shook his head: "When I said there were a lot of fossils, I didn't mean there were a lot of fossil Pokémon."

Xiaoxia & Xiaogang: ?
What's the difference? Aren't fossils just fossil Pokémon?
Seeing that the two still didn't understand, Ash had no choice but to explain in more detail: "The fossil Pokémon below... are all alive."

Xiaoxia & Xiaogang: !!!
Live? !
