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

Chapter 152 Bulbasaur's Double Evolution: Pro-Class Venusaur! 3S Potential!

"Crack!"

With a crisp crack, the branch of life split in two!

Venusaur, who had been observing Ash's actions from the side, was instantly dumbfounded.

"Bana!!" What are you doing?!

"Ash, this..." Misty looked at Ash and said with a troubled expression when she saw him rashly break the Life Branch in two.

What is Ash doing? Is this how you split your life force in half? Are you kidding me? Wouldn't doing this just destroy the item? Brock had the same thought.

It's no wonder that Xiaoxia and Xiaogang think that way about Venusaur. The main reason is that if ordinary Pokémon items are broken in half like this, they will definitely lose their function completely. Isn't this just a pure act of destroying the item?

"Ahem, didn't I say I'd only take half? Look, isn't this half?" Ash held up the half-life branch in his hand.

Upon hearing this, the elves present, as well as Xiaoxia and Xiaogang, were all speechless. How could you say such a thing?
Is this how you divide a life in half? If you just break that branch in half like that, are you sure it will still have the same effect?
"Don't worry, just try it out for yourselves." Ash said, handing the branches he was holding to Venusaur and Misty respectively.

The former suspiciously extended a vine whip, wrapped it around the branch in Ash's hand, and carefully examined it. Then, it showed an extremely incredulous expression on Venusaur's face.

Venusaur has always enjoyed the effects of Life Branch, so no one knows better than him what Life Branch looks like in its complete state.

Now, the half-life branch he felt on the vine whip indeed contained half the life force contained in a normal life branch.

Moreover, this vitality has not faded away.

In other words, Ash's old-fashioned method actually worked... How is that possible? Is it really that simple?

"See, no problem, right? This is a method I carefully derived using the power of waveguides, how could there be any mistakes? Anyway, if we split it in half like this, everything will be fine! Just wait two or three years, and this branch will return to its original shape... However, splitting it once is already the limit, so don't break it in half again."

Ash cleverly used the Aura Force as an excuse to cover up the information he obtained from the chat group.

In short, if there's anything hard to explain, Professor Oak is one explanation, Aura Force is another, and most people can recite it by heart.

If someone can't even accept these two reasons for being wrongly accused, then the accusation must be incredibly serious.

Upon hearing Ash's words, Venusaur immediately abandoned its idea of ​​waiting for the branch to recover before breaking it in half.

If he could split infinitely, he would definitely want to break it open again and put half of the life branch on himself.

This way, he can continue to assist the Bulbasaur in their evolution in the future, and also have ample opportunity to improve. Why not do it?

But Ash's words immediately dispelled his expectations. Regardless of whether Ash was telling the truth or not, after interacting with Ash, Venusaur didn't think Ash was the kind of person who talked big.

Secondly, he had no way to gamble on the possibility of the Life Branch splitting again, so he could only honestly continue doing what he had been doing with this half of the Life Branch.

Ash didn't take back the Life Branch from Venusaur's Vine Whip; it was originally meant for Venusaur.

Ash placed the remaining half of the Life Branch directly onto Bulbasaur's seed, and in less than a second, the Life Branch merged directly into Bulbasaur's seed.

At that moment, Bulbasaur also burst forth with dazzling light—the light of evolution!
"Is Bulbasaur about to evolve?" Misty said, stating a fact that anyone with eyes could see at a glance.

However, when faced with such a situation, asking questions is a basic human reaction.

Misty always knew that Ash was searching for the Mystery Garden in order to find a way to make Bulbasaur evolve perfectly.

Since Bulbasaur has already missed the optimal time for evolution, if it does evolve, it will likely be a double evolution.

After evolution, its strength will increase dramatically, but this is not a good thing.

If the boost from evolution is too great, the stats will not keep up, which will have a significant impact on Bulbasaur's future.

The reason why Champion Ash sent Ash to find the Mystery Garden was for this reason.

Although Xiaoxia and Xiaogang knew that Xiaozhi was looking for the Mystery Garden through Professor Oak's guidance, they did not know what Xiaozhi was looking for in the Mystery Garden.

Once found, what methods should be used to enable Bulbasaur to undergo perfect evolution?

Until Ash broke off a rainbow-colored branch from that giant tree.

After finding the Rainbow Tree, Ash used a completely illogical method to split the power of the branch in two, leaving one half with Venusaur and the other half with Bulbasaur.

Up to this point, everything was barely normal. The abnormal part was that Bulbasaur started evolving immediately after merging with the Life Branch!

Is it that fast? It didn't even take time to absorb anything, and it evolved directly? Can this achieve so-called perfect evolution?
These questions are the real meaning behind Xiaoxia's question.

"Don't worry, Ash and Bulbasaur chose to evolve at this time, so they must be very confident. They can't just waste the effort they've put into finding something for almost a month, can they?" Brock comforted them from the side.

Ash didn't say anything, but just quietly watched Bulbasaur's size slowly increase.

A moment later, Bulbasaur became several sizes larger than Venusaur next to it!
The light slowly dissipated, revealing its true form: a robust body, a large flower, and strong limbs. This was Bulbasaur's final evolution: Venusaur!
This time, Bulbasaur underwent a double evolution, just as Champion Ash predicted. However, due to the influence of the Life Branch, this evolution did not affect Bulbasaur's stats.

Even now, all of his ability stats are still at maximum!
[Species: Venusaur]

……

[Level: Intermediate Professional]

……

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

With its three S and three A stats at their maximum level, Venusaur's defense has also reached S-rank compared to before, meaning it has one of the tickets to enter the realm of the gods.

However, it's just a ticket. Although there are very few Pokémon in the world with the maximum three S-rank abilities, there are billions of Pokémon in the world, so the proportion is actually quite high.

However, the world has never seen or heard of any elf reaching the realm of gods with the body of an ordinary elf.

Currently, the one closest to that realm should be the Pill Emperor.

It is said that even a Champion-level Charizard is no match for Leon's Charizard. No one can tell its true level, not even Champion trainers.

Therefore, it is very likely that the Pill Emperor has reached the legendary realm, but no one has ever forced the Pill Emperor to use his full strength, and this rumor cannot be confirmed.

As for Ash, although Pokémon with a 3S rating are extremely rare, he has a total of four Pokémon with a 3S rating or higher, including Bulbasaur.

But reaching the God Realm level is still a long way off for him, so it's best not to think too much about it. Being overly ambitious will only lead to self-destruction. This is also why the big shots in the group don't tell him many things.

The more you know, the more you think, the more constrained you become. It's better to think of nothing and just keep moving forward.

Venusaur's gains this time were enormous. Originally, its level was only at the peak of Elite, but now it has directly jumped two stages to enter the intermediate of Professional, and its stats have not been wasted at all, but have been maxed out.

Although evolution can increase your level, the effect is not very significant at this level.

Upon entering the Mysterious Garden, Bulbasaur had already received the life energy from the Life Branch, raising its Elite Advanced level to Elite Peak.

Then, after leveling up, it fused with the Life Branch, and with the remaining life force and the boost from the double evolution, it broke into the professional level, becoming a Pokémon second only to Charizard in the team. Gardevoir can barely match Venusaur now.

Ash now has four professional-level Pokémon, ranging from top-tier to beginner-tier. It's hard to imagine that this is a trainer who has only been traveling for three months.

The Garden Venusaur looked at Ash's Venusaur with a complicated expression, a hint of envy in its eyes.

In fact, he had tried to fuse with the branch of life, but that thing did not react to him at all. Even if he wanted to fuse it into his body, he simply could not do it.

All he can do is absorb the life force that dissipates from his annual accumulation and improve himself.

Ash doesn't understand why Bulbasaur can fuse and absorb so easily; perhaps it's simply the choice of this branch of life.

In other words... this branch of life might be destined to belong to this human's Bulbasaur?
This strange thought flashed through Bulbasaur's mind, then she shook her head and dismissed it.

Whether that's true or not, he's already given away half of the branch of life. He can't possibly give away the other half too, can he? Otherwise, the Garden of Wonders would be completely ruined.

"Bana." Congratulations, my kinsman.

"Bana!" If I were to battle you now, I wouldn't need to rely on my trainer's power!

Ash's Venusaur looked at Garden Venusaur, a hint of fighting spirit burning in his eyes. With his current strength, supported by his three S-rank aptitude and Ash's command, he could already be on par with Garden Venusaur without the help of Aura!

Upon hearing this, the Garden Bulbasaur's lips twitched, and it replied with a disgruntled tone.

Look at my current state, do you think I'd still fight? I don't have a habit of seeking out masochism.

Garden Venusaur had long known that the truly powerful one was not Bulbasaur, but its trainer. However, the trainer and their Pokémon were one entity, so there was no reason to let their own Pokémon fight wild Pokémon alone.

"I'm sorry, Venusaur. I took your Life Branch and injured you. Let me heal you first." Ash said as he walked up to Venusaur and placed his palm on its petals.

Venusaur shifted its foot slightly, but ultimately put it back down and didn't move it.

This human said he would help him with his treatment. Although he didn't know exactly what the treatment would be, he probably wouldn't lie to him.

I don't know if this treatment will work, but let's give it a try.

As Ash's Viridian Power was channeled into Venusaur, Venusaur's injuries began to heal rapidly.

The power of the Viridian seems to be more effective at restoring Grass-type Pokémon; in just one minute, Venusaur had already fully recovered.

Even Ash himself couldn't believe it, let alone Venusaur. This was a top-tier professional Pokémon, and he healed it so easily?
Even if Grass-type Pokémon are well-suited to Viridian Power, it's still not normal.

He felt that his Everlasting Power had advanced further... Why was that? Could it be because he had used it a lot recently, and its power had increased with each use?

Ash thought for a while, but couldn't come up with an answer. He withdrew his hand from Venusaur's body and then said with a smile, "It's recovered."

"Bana..." What amazing power...

Venusaur, feeling its body in an even more vigorous state than usual, murmured in disbelief.

His previous condition was such that he was on the verge of losing his ability to fight, but after just one minute of treatment from Ash, he was restored to his peak condition. It was simply a miracle!

Moreover, it's not just a simple recovery; he vaguely senses that his bottleneck seems to be loosening. If he trains for a while longer, he might be able to break through the professional level bottleneck and reach the dojo level!

For a wild Pokémon to reach Gym Level, that's incredibly impressive!
Normally, it would probably take him a few more years to break through, so this is truly an unexpected surprise.

At this moment, Venusaur no longer harbored any resentment and looked at Ash with gratitude.

"Bana!" Human, thank you for your help!

"Hey, I'm the one who inflicted all your injuries, what help am I supposed to give you?" Xiao Zhi waved his hand, a little embarrassed.

He was the one who caused the injuries on Venusaur, but Venusaur thanked him instead. What kind of nonsense is this?!
"Bana, Bana." One thing at a time, my current breakthrough is all thanks to you. You've taken away my source of life, so I have nothing to give you. Here, take this thing that I don't know where it came from. You humans should like gems like this.

After Venusaur spoke a long string of words, a vine whip coiled around its body, and on the vine whip was a sparkling gem.

Ash waved his hand, about to refuse, but when he saw what the gem looked like, his hand froze instantly. This was...
