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

Chapter 147 The Mega Stone of the Fossilized Aerodactyl, Daigo, the Champion Miner.

After saying goodbye to Gary, Ash and the others continued their journey to Cinnabar Island, where Ash tallied up their spoils along the way.

One Key Stone, one Mega Stone, one Pokémon Egg, and one Aerodactyl.

The Elf Egg and the Aerodactyl both have a double S aptitude. If they were to encounter some other opportunity that allows them to reach triple S aptitude, then they would meet the threshold for advancing to the God Realm level.

At the same time, Ash also discovered something: there seems to be an invisible threshold between double S and triple S.

Whether it's Bulbasaur, Aerodactyl, or that Togepi egg, they were all just a little short of reaching the three S-rank. Ash doesn't believe it's a coincidence.

However, Xiao Zhi doesn't have any substantial evidence for this, and even if there really is a threshold, then just cross it and that's it.

As for how to overcome this hurdle, we haven't found one yet, so let's maintain the status quo for now.

Anyway, the God Realm level is still a very, very long way from him. Let alone the God Realm, he doesn't even have a single Gym Leader level Pokémon yet.

Pikachu is the closest to the gym.

The other Mega Stone, with the help of the experts in the group, was also concluded to be a Mega Stone belonging to Aerodactyl.

This is not surprising. If Aerodactyl is also capable of Mega Evolution, then it is normal for that evolution stone to belong to Aerodactyl.

Ash was a little disappointed about this, since there was no bond between Aerodactyl and him yet. It was a newly captured Pokémon, so there was no question of a bond between them.

Ash teleported Pidgeot back to the cave while leaving Aerodactyl behind.

However, Ash doesn't plan to keep Aerodactyl in his team for long because its level is too high.

The peak level of the gym is far beyond the level of all the Pokémon Ash currently has, second only to Gengar in Professor Oak's lab.

Ash had no experience training Pokémon of this level. He trained all his Pokémon from scratch, and at the beginning of each level, he would create a training plan for them that was appropriate for that level.

Only by nurturing Pokémon bit by bit can Ash fully master their stats and develop a strong synergy with them.

Ash not only lacked experience training high-level Pokémon like Aerodactyl, but also found it difficult to find training partners and battle targets because Aerodactyl's level far exceeded that of the entire team.

Even if he can't find outsiders to battle with, his Pokémon can still improve themselves through internal battles. But Aerodactyl can't do that. If he stays in the team, he can only serve as a training partner at best.

Since that's the case, why not send it back to Oak's lab and let Gengar train it?

As for issues like cooperation and intimacy, we can discuss those later.

He didn't leave the Aerodactyls at Oak's lab all the time; he would occasionally rotate them over to build a bond. As for training... well, there really wasn't much to train them on.

Instead of training with him, it's better to train with Gengar at Oak's lab.

Actually, it's not just Gengar; once Charizard and the others reach a higher level, Ash will also send them back to Professor Oak's lab.

After all, if their strength increases further, it will become increasingly difficult to find opponents who are worthy of them. So it would be better for him to customize a training plan for them and then send them back to Oak's lab for Gengar to train.

At that time, in addition to Gengar as a training partner, there should also be Aerodactyl as a training partner in Professor Oak's laboratory.

Well, two sparring partners should be enough.

Gengar, far away at Oak's lab, suddenly sneezed several times in a row. At that moment, he was still training Muk and other Pokémon, but an ominous premonition rose in his heart, as if he were being watched by someone...

As evening approached, Ash and his friends finally found a Pokémon center by the roadside, where Ash took Aerodactyl to be restored.

Nurse Joy was slightly shocked when she saw Aerodactyl. Currently, Lance is the only person in the world who owns Aerodactyl, and Ash can be considered the second person in the world to own Aerodactyl.

At this moment, Ash didn't hide his appearance, and Nurse Joy immediately recognized him as a famous celebrity who was quite well-known throughout the Kanto region.

However, Miss Joey would never ask for autographs or photos like those die-hard fans. If we're talking about fame, the Joey family is much more famous, isn't it?

But she still chatted with Ash for a while, as she was quite curious about the seemingly miraculous Ash that was rumored to be so powerful.

Xiaoxia stood beside them, watching them chat and laugh, as did Xiaogang.

The two people, one clenching his little fist and the other biting a handkerchief that appeared out of nowhere, were crying their eyes out. It was quite a comical sight.

It wasn't until quite late that Nurse Joy let Ash go back to rest. Aerodactyl's recovery wouldn't begin until the next morning. According to the Pokémon Center's examination, Aerodactyl's head seemed to have suffered a severe blow, requiring a longer recovery time.

Ash gave an awkward laugh.

Both of his punches were aimed at the Aerodactyl's head, but theoretically, given the Aerodactyl's hard head, his head should be quite hard, and those two small punches shouldn't have left him with any lasting damage.

……

Time flew by and it was already the morning of the second day. Ash got up early and went to the front desk of the Pokémon Center, where he took the Aerodactyl Poké Ball from the sleepy Nurse Joy.

Then, using Gardevoir's Teleport, they arrived at a deserted plain and released Aerodactyl.

As soon as Aerodactyl appeared, it instinctively glared at Ash with a fierce look, but upon seeing Ash, the fierce look in its eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by a fawning gaze.

The fossil pterosaur looks nothing like an ancient ruler of the skies; it looks more like a husky.

"Huh?" What do you want from me, Master?
Ash was visibly taken aback by Aerodactyl's words: "You've already figured out your place? Haven't you thought about fighting me again?"

The fossil pterosaur's head shook so hard it resembled a rattle drum.

Are you kidding me? Another fight with you? I may have a hard head, but I'm not stubborn!
If the difference in strength wasn't apparent in the previous battle, then he'd wasted his life living in ancient times. As the saying goes, "A wise man submits to circumstances," and he's quite aware of the current situation. Although his master used that strange thing to put him inside, the environment inside was quite nice, and his new master even healed him and restored him, showing no ill intent after releasing him.

Most importantly, he was no longer as hungry as before. Without hunger controlling his brain, he could feel the affinity and attraction emanating from the human in front of him.

This is the effect of the power of the eternal rock.

The passive effect of Viridian Power allows Ash to have a good initial impression of any Pokémon he encounters for the first time.

The reason it had no effect on the fossil pterosaur was because the fossil pterosaur had just woken up and was almost starving to death!

Furthermore, the inherent ferocity within him prevents him from developing feelings for Ash immediately.

Now that Ash has subdued him, his hunger has diminished considerably, and his injuries have healed. Coupled with Ash's undeniable strength, he has completely suppressed his inherent ferocity and has directly submitted to Ash.

If you don't back down now, when will you?
Ash scratched his head, his prepared explanation rendered speechless by Aerodactyl's appearance.

Even if we don't say that pterosaurs were ancient overlords with incredibly arrogant temperaments, how come they backed down so quickly?
"Ahem, don't call me master anymore. I'm your trainer... which means partner. We're equals."

"Times have changed. Humans and elves can now coexist peacefully and grow stronger together. Our goals are actually the same: to stand at the very top of the world. I look forward to your guidance in the future."

Ash stretched out his palm, a bright smile spreading across his face.

Aerodactyl was stunned for a moment, a very complicated expression on its face. If it had previously submitted because of Ash's strength, then after Ash's words, it had a completely new feeling about Ash.

This guy who calls himself a trainer... might not be so bad?

Aerodactyl thought to itself, and then extended its claw and placed it on Ash's hand, which meant that it had initially accepted Ash.

"From now on, we'll be partners, Aerodactyl. I'll teleport you back to Oak's lab in a bit... which is where you'll live from now on. You don't have to stay in the lab there, but there's a strange old man who might be very interested in you. Be careful not to attack him, or if he turns around and suppresses you, I won't be able to speak up for you."

Ash gave the Aerodactyl a heads-up beforehand.

He was afraid that after the fossil pterosaur was transported back to Professor Oak's lab, it would suddenly fall ill and attack Professor Oak.

Ash wasn't worried about Professor Oak. He was the champion back in the day, and even though he was a bit older, a Gym Leader Pokémon couldn't possibly threaten him.

The problem is actually with Aerodactyl. If it really attacks Professor Oak, wouldn't Professor Oak's old guards just tear it apart?

So Ash gave Aerodactyl a warning beforehand. If Aerodactyl insists on ignoring the warning and doing something reckless, then there's nothing Ash can do.

Anyway, I won't really die.

Aerodactyl nodded, puzzled. If its trainer was so serious, then the person must be someone it couldn't afford to offend. Well, it was best to keep a low profile.

"Do you know where these two things came from?" After resolving the potential problems that Aerodactyl might cause by returning to Professor Oak's lab, Ash took out the Mega Stone and Key Stone from his backpack.

Aerodactyl was holding the Key Stone while it was asleep, and the Mega Stone was also placed at the deepest part of the cave, so Aerodactyl likely knew where these two things came from.

If we could find the place of origin, we would really hit the jackpot!
After seeing the two items in Ash's hand, Aerodactyl looked thoughtful, and then let out a roar.

"...These things have always existed in the Great Fool Valley. Is it because of these two stones that you chose to sleep in the Great Fool Valley?"

"You said you sensed a power from these two stones that could elevate you to a higher level, but no matter what method you use, you can't extract that power?"

"Hey, that's normal. This requires the trainer and the Pokémon to work together to unlock it. We'll have the opportunity to use this power in the future."

Ash offered some words of comfort to Aerodactyl, while also feeling somewhat disappointed.

It seems that the piles of Key Stones and Evolution Stones in his dreams can only exist in his dreams. However, the MEGA guidance in his mind has not completely disappeared, which means that he still has a chance to activate and obtain a MEGA Evolution Stone.

This was quite an unexpected surprise. He hadn't expected that the item he drew would still have an effect after guiding him to obtain a Key Stone and an Evolution Stone.

It's described as a one-time ability, but if you really want to be sure, it's more like a consumable item; it will exist until it's used up.

Regardless, this sexual ability has already made him a fortune, and Ash is quite satisfied.

……

Back at the Pokémon Center, Ash called Professor Oak. Although it was still early, Professor Oak was already up.

Upon learning that Ash had caught Aerodactyl and was going to teleport it back, Professor Oak pressed his face close to the computer screen: "You caught Aerodactyl?! Quick! Teleport it back! I was wondering why Pidgeot was teleported back. I was wondering what Pokémon you caught, but it was Aerodactyl! Well done, Ash!"

Professor Oak pressed his face against the computer like a monster, making Ash look disgusted: "You're so disgusting, Professor Oak... Aerodactyl is a Pokémon that has lived from ancient times to the present, and it has a bad temper. Don't mess with it."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Professor Oak said calmly, pulling his head back into the room.

"Also, Professor Oak, could you please keep an eye on these two items for me?" Ash said, taking out the Mega Stone and Key Stone and placing them in front of the camera.

Professor Oak pressed his face closer to examine them carefully, then stroked his chin thoughtfully and asked, "What are these two gems? Some kind of evolution stone? I feel like I've seen them somewhere before..."

"You've seen it?!" Professor Oak's words made Ash's face light up with surprise: "Where?"

"Hmm... I don't quite remember. I don't have much of a memory of gemstones like that, but Daigo seems to like collecting these kinds of stones. I'll ask him about it for you sometime."

Steven, the Hoenn Champion, is a famous miner. It's said that he's planning to resign from his Champion title to focus solely on mining. If it were him, he might actually be collecting Mega Stones and Key Stones.
