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

Chapter 197 Intercepting Mewtwo, releasing the tiger back to the mountain?
The clash between justice and evil—this statement illustrates that rules are no longer necessary.

Regardless of the relationship between Mewtwo and Giovanni, Mewtwo is now Giovanni's Pokémon. Therefore, according to the rules, no matter what Ash and his friends do, they cannot stop Giovanni from taking Mewtwo back—provided they abide by the rules.

Now, with both sides holding different positions, the rules no longer exist. Ash no longer needs to, nor will he, adhere to the rules. He wants to stop Giovanni from taking Mewtwo away!

"Kid, what do you think you're doing? That's my Pokémon!" Giovanni's face turned pale when he saw Ash and Lucario blocking his way. How could he take Mewtwo away with Lucario there?

"Your Pokémon? Then take out a Poké Ball and recall her." Ash raised an eyebrow slightly and said sarcastically, which made Giovanni's face darken even more.

Poké Balls? If he had Poké Balls, he would have already recalled Mewtwo!

A Poké Ball capable of holding Mewtwo is not something an ordinary Poké Ball can do. Giovanni originally wanted to get a Master Ball to hold Mewtwo.

However, later, with the development of a machine to restrict Mewtwo, Giovanni postponed the Poké Ball project indefinitely.

Because Mewtwo, which contains those machines, cannot be put into a Poké Ball; otherwise, those machines will slowly malfunction inside the Poké Ball and eventually become completely useless.

How can Mewtwo be put into a Poké Ball in this situation?

Therefore, Mewtwo is currently without a Poké Ball, making it impossible for Giovanni to take out a Poké Ball and recall Mewtwo.

"Kid, don't push your luck. You've already won the match, and now you want to steal other people's Pokémon? Do you want to become a different Team Rocket?" Giovanni tried to use morality to restrain Ash and make him give up his position.

If it were the original Ash, he might have been a little shaken, but the one standing in front of Giovanni now is the fully grown Ash who has gone through more than ten years of training!
How could such a wheel possibly cause Ash the slightest ripple?

"Take that and go back and tell your Team Rocket members what you're talking about. Handing Mewtwo over to you would be the worst kind of torture for Mewtwo. You have one minute to leave. If you don't leave now, you'll be stuck here with us!"

Ash's words ignited a raging fire of anger in Giovanni's heart. When had he, the leader of Team Rocket and a champion-level trainer, ever been in such a frustrating situation?

But in the current situation, without Mewtwo's assistance, and with that legendary Lucario lurking there, even with the Elite Four-level Psychic-type Pokémon he prepared, he might not be able to escape.

Just as Ash said, if he doesn't leave in a minute and Lucario attacks, then he really won't be able to leave.

Giovanni glared hatefully at the unconscious Mewtwo behind Ash, gritted his teeth, and finally threw out a Poké Ball. A Hypnos appeared beside him.

"Xiao Zhi, don't give me a chance, or I'll make you pay for today's humiliation a hundredfold in the future!"

"Come on if you dare, I'll welcome you with open arms. But you'd better think twice before you come. Do you have any Pokémon that are as strong as or even stronger than Mewtwo? Otherwise, you'll just be feeding the enemy, and you'll be spending your days in prison in eternal darkness."

Faced with Giovanni's threat, Ash showed no fear, because... this was neither his body nor his world, so Giovanni couldn't find him no matter what!

Ahem, just kidding. With the Aura power within Ash's body in this world, even without him possessing the Ultraman, he would be more than capable of dealing with Giovanni.

If Giovanni wants to defeat Ash in this world through a normal battle, then Ash in this world really doesn't have any way to deal with it. But if Giovanni wants to use underhanded tactics, then Ash in this world will let Giovanni know just how strong he is when he is out of the rules!

After uttering those harsh words, Giovanni and the Dream Eater vanished from their spot in an instant, and the invisible pressure that permeated the entire Viridian Gym disappeared without a trace at that moment.

Gary and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Although Ash won easily, the pressure Giovanni had put on them was considerable.

Even from a distance, they could feel the oppressive feeling in his heart; that was the aura of an organization leader and a champion trainer.

It's just that Ash is able to completely ignore this aura.

After Giovanni disappeared, Lucario relaxed his battle stance, and the power within him began to slowly dissipate.

The power of the Tsukuyomi generation can disappear in two ways: either when the time is up, or when the user chooses to end it early. The longer the remaining time, the greater the boost to the Pokémon.

Before long, Lucario's power had returned to normal, but his level jumped directly from Elite Advanced to Pro Beginner!

Before today's battle, Lucario's level was only at the advanced peak. After the battle, various factors combined, causing Lucario to directly reach the professional level, skipping two major stages!

Lucario has finally reached the same level as Charizard, Gardevoir, and Pikachu. However, Pikachu and the others are already close to the end of the professional level, while Lucario is just beginning.

'Alright, my task is finished. This is now your responsibility, newcomer.'

'Wait a minute, Waveguide, why don't you just leave Giovanni here? Kona and the others should be on their way by now. If we stall him for another minute or two, he won't be able to escape once they arrive, right?'

Ash asked Ash the Aura Hero with a slightly puzzled look.

With the remaining power Lucario had just used, it would be more than enough to stop Giovanni. Moreover, not only Lucario, but even if Giovanni himself took action, he could stop Giovanni. Although the power of Psychic-type is unpredictable, as long as the power is strong enough, it is possible to use a powerful brick to forcibly block the power of Psychic-type.

With moves like Teleport, Ash could easily intercept any Pokémon below the Champion level using Teleport if he wanted to. That's why Ash was so puzzled as to why Aura Warrior Ash chose to let the tiger return to the mountain.

'This is your world, and Giovanni is your enemy. Tsutenkyo's intervention is to help you deal with enemies you can't handle at this stage, not to eliminate them for you.'

"Let's leave aside A-Ju from before. This time, your opponent, Sakaki, is practically your mortal enemy. Leaving him out there would certainly put you in great danger, but at the same time, that guy would be your best stepping stone. How can you see a rainbow without going through the storm? Leaving him for you to deal with is the best outcome."

As Ash Ketchum, the hero of the Aura, explained, Ash also understood the good intentions of the other world.

He certainly has the ability to take down Sakaki, but how could he grow so quickly without facing difficulties and powerful enemies?
The reason he was able to grow to such a level in such a short time was because he forced himself to fight against increasingly stronger opponents, bit by bit.

Although Giovanni lost Mewtwo and half of Team Rocket, he is still a champion-level trainer. Being targeted by someone like him and having him follow behind will allow him to grow even faster.

Although releasing a tiger back into the mountains might have some hidden dangers, risks and benefits generally go hand in hand. As Xiaozhi from Waveguide said, "No rainbow without rain."

'I understand, thank you so much.'

"Alright, I'll be going if there's nothing else. Remember to heal Mewtwo, but your Viridian Power probably won't be very effective against her. Although she appears to be at the peak of her Champion level, she's actually very close to that level. An A-rank Viridian Power is unlikely to have much effect on her. It's best to send her back to the League and let them treat her."

'I see. ’

After giving his final instructions, Aura Ash's soul disappeared directly from Ash's body. Ash regained control of his body and looked at the messy gym, secretly marveling at the scene.

This is a battle at the God Realm level. If it weren't for the protective shield, the entire Tokiwa City would probably have been blown away in that battle. Even with the protection of the contract, the ground was blasted into a bottomless hole. Xiaoxia and the others are still on the edge above, calling for him to come up.

The hole is estimated to be at least 30 meters deep; without ropes or other aids, they wouldn't even be able to get down.

Ash approached Mewtwo, hoisted it onto his shoulder, and slowly channeled the power of Viridian into Mewtwo's body.

Through the power of Viridian, the little AI sensed how bad Mewtwo's current condition was. Even though Lucario held back, a god-level attack was not easy to withstand. The aftershock alone created this crater, so one can imagine how serious the injuries were to Mewtwo that took the punch head-on.

Although it can't cure Mewtwo, it can at least alleviate its injuries. Ash also discovered a crucial issue: after the power of Viridian flowed in, it didn't immediately flow to Mewtwo's wounds to help it heal, but instead flowed into a deeper part of its body.

However, after the flow, her injuries did not improve at all, as if the power of Eternal Will that flowed into the depths of her body had vanished into thin air.

Ash didn't understand what was going on either. After all, he could only heal people with the power of Viridian, not be a real doctor. So he could only continue to inject the power of Viridian while hopping left and right to the top of the pit.

"Ash, are you alright?" As soon as they came up, Misty went to Ash's side and asked with concern, pinching his left and right hands.

"What could possibly happen to me? I didn't even get to play, okay? Look at Mewtwo, it's the worst off." Ash laughed and cried at the same time as he brushed Misty's hand away, then placed Mewtwo on the ground, continuing to place one hand on her arm and infuse it with the power of Viridian.

"It seems the matter is over. What about Giovanni? Didn't you keep him here?" A cold voice rang out, followed by the sound of high heels hitting the ground, echoing throughout the dojo.

Everyone turned to look and saw Kikuko, who was using a cane, and Kona, who was wearing high heels, slowly walking towards them.

Both of them had slight smiles on their faces, and seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

“Master Kona, you’ve arrived… Is this King Kikuko?” When Brock saw Kona, he was about to have an attack, but when his gaze shifted to the old woman beside her who exuded a sinister aura, his restless heart instantly calmed down.

He naturally recognized this person; she was Kikuko, the Ghost-type Elite Four member of Kanto, and also the oldest of the Elite Four.

"Agatha Christie... the Ghost-type Elite Four member of Kanto? How come even Agatha Christie is here?" Ash thought for a moment, trying to remember who Agatha Christie was. After a while, he remembered that she was one of the four Elite Four members of Kanto!
It's normal for Kona to come over after the battle because she had a camera on him. But why did Kikuko come along too? Did she happen to be nearby?

"Because Giovanni was originally the person I was monitoring. Where is Giovanni?" Because they arrived immediately after the battle ended, they were unaware of the series of events that 'Ash' told Giovanni afterwards.

"He ran away. I let him go. After all, disbanding Team Rocket requires his personal presence." Ash scratched his head and said with an awkward laugh, seemingly embarrassed that he had let Giovanni escape.

"Let him go if he's gone. Just like you said, even if we disband Team Rocket, he'll still be running around. We can't possibly catch him and put him in the League's jail. Once Team Rocket has declined enough, we'll just destroy Team Rocket and bring him back." Kikuko said nonchalantly, as if she was about to capture not a champion-level trainer, but some nobody.

Ash could only laugh and agree, and then Agatha's gaze fell on Mewtwo on the ground: "Is this the artificial Pokémon Blaine was talking about?"

In the video, Akiko had already seen Mewtwo's true form, but this was the first time she had actually seen it in the real world.

After seeing it up close, Kikuko felt even more strongly that Mewtwo and Mew really do look alike!
"Is Mewtwo seriously injured? Why hasn't it woken up yet?" Lorelei asked curiously, seeing that Mewtwo was still unconscious.

"It's quite serious. I can't heal her in a short time with my current abilities. We need to have Lorelei take her back to the League for treatment." Ash said to Lorelei as he removed his hand from Mewtwo.

Lorelei thought for a moment and then nodded: "Okay, then let's take Mewtwo back to the League first. Don't worry, I guarantee Mewtwo will be fine."
