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

Chapter 192 Venusaur's Divine Potion Move: Flower Bloom - The Descent of the Tree World!
Giovanni's actions far exceeded Gary's expectations. As the leader of Team Rocket and the strongest Gym Leader in Kanto, with so many identities, he actually sent Mewtwo to battle him over a small argument!

Is this something a human being could do? What about the dignity of the strong? What about the dignity of those in positions of power? Have they all been eaten by dogs?!
"Is this the Mewtwo Mr. Blaine was talking about? It does look rather scary, and it's quite imposing..." Misty couldn't help but shrink back, and at the same time subconsciously wanted to hug Togepi, but found that Togepi wasn't beside her.

Togepi is still at Ash's feet. Because Ash used some of his strength to protect himself during the battle, Togepi was not affected at all.

"Even through the barrier, you can feel an incredibly terrifying sense of oppression. That machine on him must have been put on to suppress Mewtwo's power. The oppressive feeling emanating from Mewtwo now is dozens of times stronger than when it stood in front of Gary before," Brock analyzed with a solemn expression.

Ash is in grave danger in this battle, as his opponent is Mewtwo, Blaine's strongest artificial Pokémon, which, once grown, is almost comparable to a god!

No matter how strong Ash is, he can't possibly have a Pokémon that can compete with that kind of Pokémon. He can't win even if he fights six against one!
Unless Ash himself goes into battle, there is still a sliver of a chance to win, since they have never seen Ash at his full strength, so there is still some hope.

However, the hope is quite slim.

“I see. So you met Blaine. No wonder you weren’t surprised by Mewtwo’s existence. It seems you got a lot of information from him.” Although Misty and Brock’s voices were soft, Giovanni still heard them talking.

Giovanni was initially surprised that they knew about Mewtwo's existence, but when he heard Blaine's name, he understood everything.

He knew that Ash and his friends had been to Cinnabar Island, but he didn't know whether Blaine was on Cinnabar Island or whether Ash and his friends had met Blaine. After all, he had been looking for Blaine for a long time, but he still hadn't found him.

He just said that Ash has collected all eight badges, without counting the Crimson Badge. The reason he said that is because Viridian Gym is the strongest gym in Kanto, and those who come to challenge it are usually either missing only one badge or have already collected all eight badges.

How could a normal person plan to make the Viridian Dojo their first, or even a middle, challenge dojo? Isn't that just asking for trouble?
However, he now knows that Ash must have met Blaine on his way to Cinnabar Island. Based on this, the badge Blaine has should be their seventh badge.

Thinking of this, Giovanni's calm expression couldn't help but waver slightly. He had gathered the entire Team Rocket's strength and searched for Blaine for so long without finding him, while Ash had only been on Cinnabar Island for a few days and had already found Blaine. What kind of efficiency was that!

Compared to them, the officers of Team Rocket are simply useless and incompetent. Fortunately, Ash will join Team Rocket after today, and Team Rocket will finally have a new member who can take on a hundred enemies.

Sakaki felt a little happy thinking about it.

On the other side, Sakaki's words made Kasumi and the other girl quickly cover their mouths, as if they had revealed some information that they shouldn't have.

But who would have thought that Giovanni could hear such a soft voice? They had already deliberately lowered their voices, and it was hard to hear them even when they were right next to each other. Where did Giovanni hear it from?

Ash didn't seem to care much about Blaine's information being leaked. He shrugged and said, "That's right, we did meet Blaine, and we also learned about Mewtwo's existence... Blaine said that Mewtwo is a monster-like Pokémon, that it is very dangerous, uncontrollable, and has a violent temper, but I don't think that's the case."

Mewtwo: ...

"Even if it's an artificial Pokémon, Mewtwo is still a Pokémon. It's no different from Pokémon that have just been born from their eggs. What affects its temperament and personality is, frankly, the surrounding environment and the people around it. So, the negative situations that Mewtwo is talking about are all caused by Team Rocket. As long as you instill the right values ​​in it, it will be no different from any other Pokémon! Am I right, Mewtwo?"

Ash stared intently at Mewtwo, trying to convey his words to Mewtwo's mind and make it realize its mistake.

However, after all that talking, Mewtwo didn't make any move, only his hand trembled slightly, and there was no telepathic communication.

Ash's eyes dimmed slightly, but the flame quickly reignited. No matter what, he had to defeat Mewtwo first, disband half of Team Rocket, and rescue Mewtwo. He could reason with them later.

All of this is contingent on first defeating Sakaki.

"Hahaha, how ridiculous! You actually tried to communicate with Mewtwo? It's useless. Mewtwo will never listen to you. You're right, it's true that Team Rocket influenced it, so it is now Team Rocket's ultimate weapon! As long as we find that missing piece, all those people in the League will have to grovel at Team Rocket's feet!"

Sakaki spread his arms wide and spoke with a fanatical expression.

The thing he was referring to was Mewtwo's missing spiritual essence. Because of this missing essence, Mewtwo could never reach the God Realm level. Without reaching the God Realm level, even if Mewtwo had abilities far exceeding those of ordinary Pokémon, it would be impossible for it to fight against the entire League on its own.

That's something only a god could do.

Sakaki had been desperately searching for Blaine in order to find the whereabouts of the spiritual source, but little did he know that the spiritual source he craved was now right in front of him.

"Weapons? To compare living beings to weapons... As expected, only you... only you are absolutely unforgivable!!" Ash gritted his teeth, his face filled with anger, and the power he was channeling to Venusaur had reached its limit.

"Use Venusaur, bloom—Tree World descends!!" The battle broke out without warning, and Ash commanded Venusaur to launch a direct attack on Mewtwo!
Flower Blossom - Descent of the Tree World. Giovanni had never heard of this move before, but judging from the power gathered on Venusaur, it seemed to be an even more powerful skill than Harden Plant.

Facing Mewtwo, Ash still chose to send Venusaur to battle. Giovanni could only say that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Does he really think that defeating an Elite Four member means he can challenge a Champion?

"Bana!!" Venusaur roared, and countless root-like green plants burst forth from the ground, instantly covering the entire arena!
"Hard Plant? Ha, it's just that there are a few more of them. You dare to change the name and call it your own original move?" Giovanni said sarcastically when he saw Venusaur using the same move as Hard Plant, only with a few more of them.

To put it bluntly, this is just a hardened plant. To be frank, this level of attack has absolutely no effect on superpowers.

"Bana—!!" Venusaur's roar exploded once more, this time with even greater power, causing the pebbles at the edge of the arena to tumble and swirl. With this roar, the hardened plants that had been supporting the thorny barrier on the field suddenly mutated. Their roots, originally only as thick as an arm, seemed to be infused with a violent life force, expanding and thickening at a visible speed, growing in an instant into giant roots that required a person to stretch out their arms to barely encircle!

Dozens of giant roots, like living pythons, rapidly surrounded Mewtwo in the center of the arena, their branches and leaves intertwining into an impenetrable net that completely enveloped Mewtwo's figure!
In just a few breaths, the once empty battlefield was filled with lush giant roots and branches, and the air was filled with the moist scent of grass and trees, just like a primeval forest that had suddenly appeared!

Whether it was Giovanni, Misty, or the others, they were all stunned by this sudden scene. This was something that hardened plants could not do at all. In the blink of an eye, the field turned into a forest, just like the name of the move that Ash had just mentioned - the Advent of the Tree World!

After Mewtwo was enveloped, pink flowers began to slowly appear on the giant trees, and a strange scent began to permeate the area. Giovanni, protected by Mewtwo's shield, did not smell or absorb the scent.

If he takes a whiff, he'll find himself feeling drowsy and tingly.

"Flowers Bloom - The Tree World Descends" is essentially an advanced technique for hardened plants. It infuses the cherry blossom plant with the core life force of Xerneas's life branch, thereby causing a qualitative change in the hardened plant.

The hardened plant, which was originally as thick as an arm, can not only evolve into a state where one person cannot wrap their arms around it, but it can also grow flowers and emit a fragrance that can numb people and elves.

After smelling it, one will first fall into a state of numbness, and then fall into a deep sleep. Because one is numb first and then falls asleep, it is difficult to wake up even if the body is hit.

In addition to this, this move also has the effect of absorbing the life force of the attacked person!
It can be said that once hit by this move, it is equivalent to suffering great damage, falling into a deep sleep, and having its life force absorbed to strengthen all the trees.

With Venusaur's current power, if it were to unleash this move, even a Champion-level Pokémon would be in serious trouble if hit!
"Click click click!!" Inside the Advent of the Tree World, a sickeningly mechanical sound rang out. It must have been the sound of the machinery on Mewtwo's body. Giovanni's expression changed drastically upon hearing it.

Then he shouted, "Mewtwo, use your psychic powers to break through those things!"

"Hissing sounds echoed from the vast forest, followed by a series of muffled thuds a few seconds later—"Boom!!"

The tree roots that had been wrapped around Mewtwo were shattered by a powerful impact. At the same time, that enormous force swirled around Mewtwo, and any tree roots that got close were instantly crushed!
Seeing this, Xiao Zhi's expression also became serious. Don't underestimate these things just because they are just trees. Their hardness is only slightly less than that of steel. Yet the opponent was able to crush them into powder with ease. You can imagine how strong the opponent is.

In a short while, all the sprouting green plants were crushed into dust, and the once lush green space was transformed back into its original barren state.

After the green plants were crushed, they turned into energy and dissipated, leaving only empty holes on the ground.

Mewtwo, clad in armor, retracted its raised arm, its exposed half-face slightly panting. It was clear that clearing this entire area was not an easy task for Mewtwo at its current state.

Venusaur has every reason to be proud that it can make Mewtwo unleash this level of power at its peak professional level.

However, after unleashing this move, Venusaur's expression became listless. This move is actually similar to Charizard's Holy Fire being added to its own skills, which is an addition of divine power.

Using it with Venusaur's current power is actually quite difficult, and the energy loss after using it will be at least 80%.

Therefore, this move is basically used as a last resort. After Ash let Venusaur use this move, he did not intend to let Venusaur continue to fight. This move is the only move that can threaten Mewtwo, but the price paid is so heavy that Venusaur has no strength to continue fighting Mewtwo.

Even the slightest carelessness in being grazed or touched by Mewtwo's power would cause Venusaur immense damage.

"Come back, Venusaur." Before Mewtwo could attack, Ash recalled Venusaur. Mewtwo had already raised its arm, but after a pause, it lowered its arm again as its target disappeared.

"You've run out of energy after using that move? It seems you want to use Mewtwo as a alchemy stone. But your Venusaur is out of fighting power now, and you only have one Pokémon left to use. What Pokémon are you planning to use?" Giovanni saw through Venusaur's condition at a glance.

Although that move was quite exaggerated, it was actually just a showy and intimidating move. After using that move, Venusaur had no strength left to fight Mewtwo, so Ash had no choice but to recall it.

Ash now only has one Pokémon left. Although Mewtwo has lost some of its strength, that's about it. Its injuries are at most minor scratches. No matter what Pokémon Ash uses next, it won't pose a threat to Mewtwo.

Unless he can demonstrate a power several times greater than the move Venusaur just used, and can use it continuously—but how is that possible?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi closed his eyes and focused his mind on the chat group.

[Newbie Ash: Experts, it's your turn! Who's up this time?]

[Champion Ash: Who will I fight? Which of Giovanni's main Pokémon?]

The champion, who had been waiting for Ash's message in the group chat, replied directly.

[Newbie Ash: It's not any particular main Pokémon, it's Mewtwo! A Champion-level Mewtwo!]

[Champion Ash: Good grief! Is Giovanni here really this shameless?]
