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

Chapter 145 The Prodigy Aerodactyl Gets the Key Stone for Evolution! Ash Punches the Aerodactyl

Deep inside the cave, the light remained dim, with only the area around the fire-breathing dragon receiving a bright glow.

But in this dim place, there were bright spots of light, which had seven colors and looked extremely mysterious.

The moment Ash saw the point of light, the guidance in his mind reached its peak.

Without a doubt, it is an item related to MEGA evolution. Although it is unknown whether it is a Key Stone or an Evolution Stone, it is definitely one of them.

Ash's expression brightened, and he was about to go and take it, but after taking a step forward, he immediately stopped.

In his subconscious waveguide detection, near the radiant stone, there was an extremely powerful waveguide.

Unlike the weak and sick fossil Pokémon outside, this Aura is somewhat weak, but overall it is still quite strong.

Ash waved for Charizard to follow and leave. As Charizard's light shone, Ash was able to see the Pokémon hiding in the shadows.

The creature had a gray body, a dinosaur-like face, and a pair of large wings on its sides. Its hands were attached to its wings, with clearly visible sharp fingertips. A large, sharp tail hung gently to one side.

Ash had seen this Pokémon in pictures posted by the experts in the group. It's an ancient Pokémon that's almost extinct in modern times—Aerodactyl!
As Ash approached, Aerodactyl's body twitched slightly. It slowly opened its eyes, its gray pupils revealing a hint of confusion, as if it had just woken up.

A few seconds later, Aerodactyl fully regained consciousness. It opened its blood-red mouth and yawned loudly. Then it shook its head for a while, looked around with its eyes, and finally fixed its gaze on Ash.

The Aerodactyl's previously bewildered eyes instantly sharpened and became fierce, its gaze towards Ash filled with bloodlust and desire, as if it had already regarded Ash as its prey.

"So that thing was guarded by Aerodactyl? Could it be Aerodactyl's evolution stone... By the way, can Aerodactyl Mega Evolve? Probably not, it's an ancient Pokémon." Ash muttered to himself, thinking about how to get the evolution stone from Aerodactyl's claws.

Fossil pterosaurs, ancient rulers of the skies, were extremely bloodthirsty and carnivorous.

They are almost extinct in the modern world, but Wataru, the Dragon Master of Kanto, has a fossil aeroda, and it is already at the Champion level.

However, according to Ryuji Wataru, the fossil pterosaur in his hand was resurrected from amber, while the one in front of him, like the group of fossil pterosaurs outside, had been sleeping since ancient times. It has a really long life!
[Species: Fossil Pterosaur]

[Gender: Male]

[Attributes: Flying, Rock]

[Level: Peak Dojo]

[Characteristic: Hard head.]

[Skills: Bite, Primal Power, Wing Attack, Ultrasonic Wave, Sharp Stone Attack...]

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

Ash's mind was filled with the data of Aerodactyl, which made him exclaim in amazement, "Such a powerful talent!"

With two S-rank and four A-rank rank rank, even in ancient times, this fossil pterosaur must have been the most talented among its kind.

In terms of lifespan, this fossil ape might have lived longer than a thousand-year-old Gengar, but in terms of actual lifespan, it probably didn't live as long as Gengar.

After all, he spends most of his time in a dormant state, while Gengar has actually lived for over two thousand years.

But in terms of talent, he is just like Gengar, with an S rank in physical strength. Does that mean that the higher one's physical strength talent, the longer one's lifespan?
"Roar!!"

Just as Ash was pondering Aerodactyl's talent, Aerodactyl roared at him.

Ash understood what Aerodactyl meant—"Just let me eat you!"
"Hey, you want to eat me? Do you think you can?" Ash scoffed, showing a hint of disdain for Aerodactyl's statement.

If a Champion-level Aerodactyl had said this, Ash would have been somewhat more wary, but for a Gym Leader-level, half-crippled Aerodactyl to say it like this is just ridiculous.

"Roar!" This is the first time I've ever seen such an arrogant human.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a fossil aeroda that's so weak yet so arrogant." When it comes to trash talk, Ash has never been afraid of anyone.

Aerodactyl's expression froze for a moment, then its face showed extreme anger. It flapped its wings, and a strong wind suddenly rose in the cave. Then it rushed out and bit down hard on Ash with its blood-red maw.

Charizard's face turned fierce, and it held a flame in its mouth, ready to blast the old dragon that disrespected its trainer down. But Ash patted Charizard on the shoulder, signaling it not to get agitated.

"Leave it to me. It's said that these ancient Pokémon have the survival of the fittest ingrained in their very bones. If we defeat them with Pokémon, we probably won't gain their recognition anytime soon." The "them" that Ash is referring to are, of course, all the fossil Pokémon in this underground cave.

However, Xiaoxia and her friends don't have the ability to engage in real-life battles. Even if they can't gain the recognition of the fossil Pokémon for the time being, they can only choose to battle with Pokémon and then slowly cultivate their relationship later.

But his approach is simpler and more direct.

Aerodactyl charged at Ash, its foul-smelling mouth almost touching Ash's head. The next instant, Aerodactyl felt an unparalleled blow to its chin!

His mouth, which had been wide open, suddenly closed!

Thankfully, he didn't stick his tongue out, otherwise, given the sharpness of his teeth, his tongue would probably be broken by now.

Besides his mouth closing, his body also rose upwards with that terrifying force!
"boom!"

The fossil pterosaur's massive body was slammed into the ceiling of the underground cave, and the seven-colored sphere it was clutching in its claws was released.

Ash caught the ball and examined it carefully.

The sphere was only slightly larger than a marble. The pterosaur was able to hold onto the sphere because it used its claws to hold it in place. So, as soon as it loosened its claws slightly, the sphere would fall.

After looking at it for a while, Xiao Zhi confirmed that this thing should be the Evolution Key Stone that the experts in the group were talking about.

To perform Mega Evolution, both Key Stones and Mega Stones are indispensable items. However, Key Stones are much harder to find than Mega Stones and are considered very rare items.

In other parallel worlds where MEGA evolution has been discovered, Keystones can fetch over 100 million, and even then, they are in high demand and short supply.

Between trainers of similar skill levels, if one only has Dynamax, while the other has Dynamax, Z-Moves, Crystallize, and Mega Evolution, the latter will undoubtedly have a comprehensive advantage in battle! Let alone having three more systems, even just one more system will qualitatively change a trainer's strength!

In other parallel worlds, the most difficult system to obtain is the MEGA evolution system.

Not to mention the scarcity of keys, Mega Evolution Pokémon also require corresponding Mega Evolution Stones.

Mega Stones are rare to begin with, and their origin is still unclear. There is no definite place of origin, and they can only be found by pure luck.

Therefore, this system is the most difficult to obtain and the most precious, and it also provides the greatest overall improvement to the spirit.

In Ash's world, the Mega Evolution system doesn't exist yet. However, Ash learned from Professor Oak that Kalos has started researching the possibility of Pokémon evolving further after their final evolution.

Once the Mega Evolution system is discovered, Ash's information gap will disappear, and any suspected Mega Evolution Stones and Key Stones on the market will be directly acquired and taken away.

Ash didn't have a Mega Stone or Key Stone before, so he couldn't show Professor Oak a specific picture. Now that he has a Key Stone, he might have a Mega Stone too.

Once you reach the next Pokémon Center, you can ask Professor Oak to keep an eye out for the Mega Stone and Key Stone.

Try to collect as many Mega Stones and Key Stones as possible before Mega Evolution is revealed.

"According to what the experts in the group said, I have a ton of Pokémon that can evolve. There are only a few dozen Pokémon that can Mega Evolve. Surely I can get a Mega Stone for my Pokémon?" Ash muttered to himself as he put the Key Stone into his pocket.

Now is not the time to study the keystone. The fossil pterosaur on the cave ceiling has recovered and is now looking at him with a fierce and suspicious expression.

Let's subdue this fossil pterosaur first.

If we let such a gifted fossil pterosaur go, it would be an absolute injustice!
"What, do you still want to eat me?" Ash waved at Aerodactyl, looking provocative.

The Aerodactyl, which had been hesitating about whether to run away, was instantly enraged. It roared at Ash, flapped its huge wings, and surging energy gathered in its body.

The next second, several sharp rocks rose from the ground and stabbed towards Ash with lightning speed!

Rock Slash, the ultimate move of the Rock-type!

Ash's body emitted a pale blue light, and his aura surged within him. Then, he swung his hand in a slashing motion in all directions.

Ash's fragile hand met the incredibly sharp rocks, and the result was predictable... Ash shattered all the rocks.

Fossil pterosaur: ? ? ? ?

Watching its strongest attack being shattered by the seemingly weakest human with a single slap, the fossil ape-dragon's head was filled with countless question marks.

Are you even human?!
The Charizard, which had wanted to protect its trainer, silently retreated behind its own trainer.

Having stood at the forefront of battles for so long, he had forgotten just how overpowered his own trainer was.

The reason I was able to defeat that terrifying frog last time was thanks to the power of my own trainer.

Now, facing such a bloodthirsty fellow who even he felt some pressure from, his trainer waved his hand and shattered the opponent's move that could have seriously injured him.

I wonder when he'll be able to catch up with his trainer!

Charizard sighed inwardly, while Ash walked step by step toward Aerodactyl, saying, "I've heard that you ancient Pokémon are all about the survival of the fittest. If I don't use my Pokémon to defeat you head-on here, you should be able to admit that I'm your trainer, right?"

"Roar! Roar!" I don't know what you mean by trainer, but if you can defeat me without using a monster, what's wrong with me acknowledging you as my master!

In ancient times, there was no concept of trainers or Pokémon. Back then, they called Pokémon "monsters," which were monsters that could unleash magic.

At that time, humans had a very shallow understanding of elves and treated them by brute force, unable to connect with them on a deeper level.

It wasn't until a later era when the Poké Ball was invented that humans finally began to understand Pokémon, team up with them, and eventually evolved into the Pokémon we know today.

Ash doesn't know much about ancient history, but he can understand what Aerodactyl means by "monster".

"Trainer and Master are not the same thing. Becoming your trainer means becoming your partner, fighting alongside you, and getting stronger together... Judging from your expression, you probably won't listen to me anyway, so let's defeat you first." Ash was halfway through his sentence when he saw Aerodactyl baring its fangs and claws, rushing towards him at lightning speed.

Faced with the gaping maw, Ash shook his head helplessly, then clenched his fist: "Still doesn't learn its lesson."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ash dodged Aerodactyl's Crunch attack with a sidestep, and at the same time, he punched hard from below. Just as he was about to hit Aerodactyl's jaw again, three long green energy claws suddenly extended from Aerodactyl's claws.

The green energy claw swung from Aerodactyl's wings, slashing towards Ash's face!

At this distance, Aerodactyl certainly couldn't dodge Ash's punch, but at the same time Ash's punch hit, his claws would also hit.

Ancient elves were like this: they traded lives for lives, and their fighting style was ruthless. Even if they lost a thousand of their own, they would still kill eight hundred of yours!

He, a fossil pterosaur, didn't even know how to write the word "retreat"!
A hint of surprise flashed in Ash's eyes, but he quickly responded, instantly conjuring a blue energy ball in his other free hand—the Aura Sphere!

"boom!!"

"boom!!"

The Aura Sphere collided with the dragon's claw, and after an explosion that echoed throughout the cave, the Aerodactyl was also blasted away by Ash's fist, crashing into the cave ceiling once again.

This time, the entire cave shook three times from the impact of the fossil pterosaur!

Ash shook his hand, looking at Aerodactyl with some worry in his eyes.

Because of the Aerodactyl's desperate counterattack, he unconsciously increased the force a little. This punch... shouldn't be enough to kill the Aerodactyl, right?
