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

Chapter 179: Fist against Dragonite, Aura Sphere crushes Destruction Ray! The ancient Dragonite's request.

After roaring, the ancient dragonite slammed down its fist. The enormous fist was powerful enough to smash the entire Bright Lighthouse and the edge of the cliff to pieces. Bright had just shown a look of fear when he saw a figure dart out from beside him and rush towards the fist.

In mid-air, Ash held his breath and threw a punch, his tiny fist colliding with Dragonite's meteor-like fist!
"boom!!"

An unparalleled tremor resounded in the air, and shockwaves rippled outwards. To Zheng Hui's astonishment, the seemingly innocuous act of an egg hitting a meteorite was actually accomplished by the egg knocking the meteorite away!

Dragonite's fist was blasted out, and its entire body was even forced back several steps in mid-air.

It was only then that everyone realized that although Dragonite appeared to be walking on the sea, it was actually floating in mid-air. Only its two feet were submerged in the seawater, but the sea should be much higher than that.

Therefore, Dragonite did not come from the sea by walking, but by floating.

However, this isn't the most important information. The key point is... Ash actually knocked back such a huge Dragonite with a single punch!
Xiaoxia and Xiaogang are alright. Although the scene is shocking, given Xiaozhi's previous record of knocking down Magmar with one punch, it's not too surprising that he would do something like this now.

But this was the first time Dr. Zheng Hui had ever seen anything like this!
What kind of freak could do such a thing? Let alone knocking back the fist of a giant Dragonite, just punching a normal Dragonite, or even a human fighting a Rattata, would be beyond human capabilities!

Professor Zheng Hui felt his worldview had been shattered. It turned out that Ash's true strength lay not in his Pokémon, but in himself!

In mid-air, the reaction force did not bounce Ash back, because all the force was channeled out by him. Only the giant Dragonite would feel the reaction force, but he would not.

However, he couldn't fly either, so he released Pidgeot in mid-air, then stepped on Pidgeot's body, looking seriously at the giant Dragonite that was barely managing to stabilize itself.

"You're a Dragonite from ancient times, right? I can tell you're looking for a partner. I know it's not quite right for us to imitate your partner's voice like this, but we don't mean any harm!" Ash's shouts echoed throughout the entire sea and naturally reached the ears of the giant Dragonite.

Modern Pokémon would certainly understand Ash's words, but Dragonite is an ancient species! It is practically completely ignorant of modern human speech, so it couldn't understand Ash's shouts at all.

All I know is that Ash was shouting and yelling there, sounding like he was trying to intimidate her.

This enraged the ancient Dragonite even more. It roared at Ash and opened its huge mouth, where destructive golden energy condensed—Hyper Beam!
"Hey... I was just saying hello, do you have to go to such lengths?" Ash's lips twitched when he saw Hyper Beam. This Dragonite's stats were already far superior to its kind, and it was also an ancient being.

Although it's unclear what the connection is between the ancient form and Dynamax, such a massive size is no joke. Its moves are definitely much stronger than those of a normal Dragonite of the same level.

This Hyper Beam's power is comparable to that of a Champion-level weapon.

"Boom!!" In the next instant, the Hyper Beam burst from Dragonite's mouth, and the destructive golden beam of light pierced through space, illuminating the almost dark sky as if it were daytime!

Ash raised one hand, and a bright blue Aura Sphere instantly formed. However, compared to Dragonite's Hyper Beam, his Aura Sphere was like an ant compared to an elephant.

However, Ash ignored everything and threw the Aura Sphere in his hand without dodging!

"boom!!"

"Kakakaka!!"

Professor Zheng Hui didn't dare to look at the scene above. He was filled with regret. For the sake of his so-called thirst for knowledge, he had caused the death of a gifted young man. He even thought that he, Xiaoxia, and Xiaogang would be wiped out one by one by the giant Dragonite after Xiaozhi was defeated.

However, after Dr. Zhenghui closed his eyes for a few seconds, the scorching light was still flashing in the sky. He raised his head, squinted his eyes a crack, and after seeing the scene in the sky clearly, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.

What did he see? Ash's tiny energy ball blocked the Hyper Beam, which was almost the size of a Bright Lighthouse!

That works too!
Although the wave missile was small, it effectively blocked the large-scale destructive death ray, as if an invisible force was blocking the excess portion of the destructive death ray.

In the sky, Ash stretched out one hand to remotely hold back the Aura Missile, preventing the Hyper Beam from advancing an inch.

The ancient Dragonite was also dumbfounded. This was already his most powerful move. Although he had been neglecting battles and hadn't used any moves to fight against other Pokémon for a long time, it didn't stop this move from being a move that could move mountains and fill seas.

One Destruction Beam can level even a small mountain!
Now, that blue orb of light has been blocked so easily, is that even possible?

More importantly, the culprit behind that blue ball was that human!

When did humans become so strong that they could fight against magical beasts of their level with their bare hands?

"Drink!" Ash exerted a little force with his palm and shouted softly. The Aura Sphere flew straight up against the Hyper Beam!

The golden beam of destruction was gradually destroyed inch by inch by that tiny Aura Sphere, and as Dragonite approached its head in horror, it vanished!

Watching the Aura Sphere slowly disappear, a hint of lingering fear flashed in the eyes of the ancient Dragonite, and she also stopped trying to mobilize energy to attack.

Even a fool should have calmed down by now. The first exchange of punches was probably due to her being blinded by anger, but in this clash of moves, she couldn't see the difference in skill between them. If she couldn't tell that her opponent was holding back, then she was being rather ungrateful.

"Dragonite, we meant no harm. Imitating your partner's voice was unintentional. We just wanted to see who the Pokémon hiding in the mist really was." Seeing that ordinary communication methods didn't work, Ash directly used Aura to communicate telepathically.

In the past, he rarely needed to use this method to communicate with elves, since it's only humans who can't understand elf language, not elves who can't understand human language.

As a result, I encountered one today. In the ancient times, it's unknown whether humans were fully developed. Even if they could speak, the language at that time would definitely be different from modern language, so it's only natural that the ancient Dragonite couldn't understand it.

However, telepathy ignores the language of both parties and automatically converts one's own language into a language that the other can understand. After hearing Ash's words, the ancient Dragonite's slightly wary eyes relaxed considerably, and its whole appearance returned to its goofy look. However, no matter how goofy the ancient Dragonite is, its huge size still makes others feel intimidated.

"Oh dear~~" I want to... find friends.

The Dragonite's voice reached Ash's ears and was translated into a language he could understand.

This Dragonite's desire is actually very simple: to find a friend... a friend with whom it can communicate, play, and walk together.

As an ancient Pokémon, having lived for an unknown amount of time since ancient times, loneliness must be the greatest pain for this ancient Dragonite. That's why it was so eager to emerge from the mist when it heard voices related to its own kind, only to discover that it had been deceived...

Being able to calm down now is already a testament to Dragonite's good temper. Where could you find such a good-tempered Pokémon in the ancient times?
"Can't you shrink yourself? There are many Dragonite in this world, but none of them are as big as you. You can learn languages ​​slowly, and you can change your habits slowly, but the size of your body..." Ash said with a hint of melancholy on his face.

Ancient Pokémon are extremely rare and hard to find. There might only be one ancient Dragonite left in the world, so finding an ancient partner is very unrealistic.

That Dragonite basically only has one path left: to grow to the size of a normal Dragonite and then befriend normal Dragonites, since communication is easiest between members of the same species.

Even if it's not interacting with its own kind, the ancient Dragonite needs to find a way to control its current size, otherwise, what kind of friends can it make with this size?

Unless you go to the Galar region and let your Pokémon enter Dynamax mode to communicate with the ancient Dragonite, but Dynamax cannot be maintained indefinitely, and the size of the ancient Dragonite is definitely very inconvenient in modern times.

Therefore, if Dragonite wants to live a normal life in the modern world, it absolutely needs to become a normal-sized creature.

However, after hearing Ash's words, Dragonite also looked troubled. She closed her eyes, her face showing a constipated expression. After a moment, she reopened her eyes and shook her head.

She can't go back to the normal size!
Seeing this, Ash sighed helplessly and went to find help.

……

[Newbie Ash: Guys, it's an emergency! I encountered an ancient Dragonite at Bill's Lighthouse, and she...]

When in doubt, join a group for help!

Ash recounted the story of the ancient Dragonite in the group chat and received a reply in less than ten seconds.

[Ash, the Psychic Specialist: It's actually quite simple. Having a Psychic-type Pokémon of Elite Four level should be enough to help the ancient Dragonite. Psychic powers allow you to shrink, but this shrinking requires certain strength. First, you need to be at least Gym Leader level to learn it. Second, the opponent's level cannot exceed yours by one level. Otherwise, even if the opponent agrees, you can't shrink them.]

It's another superpower!
Ash had already witnessed the wonder of superpowers from Sabrina. Sabrina could not only shrink people, but she could even turn them into dolls, which was an ability to alter a species.

This was the first time Xiao Zhi had seen this super-powered expert in the group. The reason he came out immediately must be because he had set up special attention for him. Before, he was just watching the fun, but now that he finally had a place in Xiao Zhi's knowledge comfort zone, he decided to pop up.

[Newbie Ash: Thanks, boss! I'll tell Dragonite to wait until my Gardevoir reaches Champion level first, and ask her to wait a bit longer!]

After Ash finished speaking, he left the group chat and then used telepathy to transmit the method to the ancient Dragonite.

Gardevoir's level is now at Advanced Class after the last battle. With another two days of training, it should reach Peak Class. It's just one major rank and one minor rank away from Elite Four.

Given Gardevoir's talent, it should be able to reach Elite Four status within six months. Therefore, Ash told the ancient Dragonite to wait for it here for another six months. After six months, it will definitely come back here and take Dragonite to find its partners.

"Ooh~~" Thank you, human. If you can really do that, then I am willing to become your subordinate and be enslaved by you for fifty years.

Fifty years is just the time it takes for an ancient Dragonite to take a few more naps; it's hardly a price to pay.

But Ash quickly waved his hand, saying, "That's not the way things are anymore. Nowadays, Pokémon... or what you call monsters, coexist peacefully with us humans. There's no hierarchy. If you're willing, let's have a battle after you recover. If I win, you'll become my partner. How about it?"

Partners...Equality...

Ash's words puzzled the ancient Dragonite, but they also evoked a longing for these words.

There are indeed many changes between this era and the one he lived in. The most obvious difference is that... the humans of his time did not have such abnormal combat power.

"Ooh~~" I know, let's have the battle you mentioned then...

Dragonite started to say something, then scratched its cheek, seemingly unsure of how to address Ash. Calling him "human" all the time seemed a bit inappropriate.

My name is Xiaozhi.

"Ooh~" Okay, Ash, but I can't battle with you, I can't beat you.

Dragonite said in a slightly naive tone, which made Ash's lips twitch and his face show a little embarrassment.

"Ahem, normally I don't take action, but this happened so suddenly!" Xiao Zhi explained in a serious tone.

In fact, Ash wouldn't have retaliated on his own if Dragonite hadn't suddenly attacked. Even when suppressing Dragonite, he insisted on using Pokémon in battle, even though being at the Elite Four level was a bit too overpowered for him at the moment...

However, in order to protect Xiaoxia and the others, he didn't have time to buff his Pokémon little by little. Taking direct action was the best choice at the time, because he definitely couldn't take action himself in the later battle against Dragonite!
Wouldn't that completely destroy the spirit of a trainer?
Ash says it here, he doesn't believe that Gardevoir, once it becomes Elite Four member, can still lose to the ancient Dragonite!
