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

Chapter 207 Mega Blastoise vs. Mewtwo Blastoise, Mega Launcher!
"Let me handle the first battle! I'm going to teach this arrogant guy a lesson!" Kong Nan stretched his arms and stood stylishly in the trainer's seat.

If he can't beat Mewtwo, can he really not even beat the three starter Pokémon that Mewtwo has?
Those three starter Pokémon all had strange patterns on their bodies, making them look like they had mutated. They were clearly not very strong. His carefully trained Venusaur could easily defeat them!
"Go, Venusaur! Use Vine Whip!" As Kong Nan's Venusaur entered the arena, he commanded it to launch the first attack.

Four vines lashed out from Venusaur's side, attacking Mewtwo's Venusaur directly.

"Rapid Leaf." The telepathic voice still echoed in everyone's minds. Surprisingly, Mewtwo managed to transmit her command to everyone's minds, letting them know what she had done.

She was also subtly telling Xiaozhi that she was different from him and wouldn't do anything deceptive.

However, Mewtwo was just throwing a wink at a blind man. Ash couldn't understand Mewtwo's actions at all, and he didn't know why Mewtwo would ignore such an advantage and instead spread telepathy to everyone's hearts.

A dozen or so leaves spun and danced in the air, and in the blink of an eye they collided with four vine whips. The vine whips were not only tough but also sustainable, so usually when the flying leaf blades collided with the vine whips, the flying leaf blades would be deflected directly. But this time was different.

"Tsk!"

The moment the vine whip and the leaf blades clashed, the vine whip snapped into several pieces, and the leaf blades continued their momentum as they attacked Venusaur.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!!" Sharp leaves struck Venusaur, causing more than a dozen wounds on its body. Blood flowed freely from Venusaur's surface, shocking everyone present.

"Venusaur has a fourfold resistance to Grass-type moves, so why was it injured like this by just a few Razor Leaf moves? That doesn't make sense!" Sweetie couldn't help but exclaim when she saw Venusaur's miserable state.

"Because the gap between the two sides is too big. Kong Nan's Venusaur is only at the professional level, but his opponent is already at the gym level." Lorelei said calmly, but her expression was slightly solemn.

This Venusaur looks strange, but its strength is at the peak of the gym level. Pokémon of this level cannot be trained casually. Where did Mewtwo come from?

Of all the people present, only Ash wasn't too surprised. From the very beginning, he had already discerned the level of the three starter Pokémon on the field—all of them were at the peak of the Gym Leader level!

Apart from Lorelei and him, there was no one else present who could handle these three starter Pokémon, not even Gary.

"Gym Leader... I don't believe it!! Venusaur, use Sludge Bomb!" The man seemed unable to accept the fact that the gap between the two sides was so large, and he once again shouted the order to Venusaur.

Venusaur roared, and its flower seeds sprayed out several streams of dark purple venom. The venom contained a terrifying corrosiveness; if it hit someone, their skin might be completely corroded away.

'Harden plants.' Mewtwo's voice remained calm as she gave the command, countless thorny green plants instantly appeared on the ground!
The barbs of the thorns pierced through the venom in the air, and the venom landed on the dark green roots with a piercing corrosive sound. However, it only corroded half of the roots before disappearing due to insufficient energy.

The remaining hardened plants transformed into sharp spears and fired them all at the airman's Venusaur!

"Boom!"

The hardened plant hit directly, creating a deafening sound on the field. Moments later, the smoke dissipated, and Kong Nan's Venusaur was lying on the ground with many bloody wounds all over its body.

"Venusaur!!" Sora shouted Venusaur's name as he ran up, his pupils constricting.

He anxiously examined Venusaur's body. Fortunately, Grass-type Pokémon are known for their strong vitality. Although Venusaur's injuries were frightening, they were not life-threatening. However, it was impossible for it to continue fighting.

"Next." Mewtwo's calm voice rang out, as if he had casually crushed an ant.

He wasn't surprised at all by this battle; he had sensed the energy within Venusaur from the beginning, and it was nothing more than a bunch of amateurs.

Of the Pokémon present, apart from Ash's Charizard, the other two were no match for him.

"Next, I'll go!" Xiao Mao swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and stood on the arena.

He might lose this battle, but he wants to leave something behind for his opponent!
"Go, Blastoise! ​​Let Ash see our new power!" Gary said, stretching out his arm. On his wrist was a ring decoration with a shining seven-colored gem—the Key Stone—at its center!
"Key Stone? Did Gary find Blastoise's Mega Stone?" Ash was also taken aback when he saw Gary show off the Key Stone.

Before Ash found Blastoise's Mega Stone, Gary always carried a Key Stone. Ash asked him why he carried a Key Stone when he didn't have any Pokémon to evolve from.
Gary said that even if wearing it wouldn't allow his Pokémon to evolve, it would still make him look cooler. Ash thought about it and agreed, so he got the same black ring as Gary to equip his Key Stone. It was indeed much cooler than his original bracelet.

Now that Gary is showing off the Key Stone, it's not because he's trying to look cool. It's because he's already obtained Blastoise's Mega Evolution Stone. This guy has quietly accomplished something big!

"Blastoise Mega Evolve!!" With Gary's shout, the Key Stone in his hand shone brightly, and a gem appeared inside Blastoise's body. Then, several chains extended from the gem and connected with the light extending from the Key Stone.

Blastoise's body also changed. After a moment, the evolutionary light on Blastoise's body dissipated, revealing a completely new Blastoise appearance.

The evolved Blastoise has grown a small shell on each of its arms, and each shell contains a water cannon.

At the same time, the two cannons on the tortoise shell transformed into a giant cannon, with the muzzle of the enormous water cannon exceeding the head of Blastoise. This caused Blastoise's body to bend slightly, and its thicker limbs were there to support the recoil of the water cannon.

This is the Mega Blastoise of the entire series!
Xiaotian stared dumbfounded at the Mega Blastoise on the field: "No way... Blastoise can evolve? How is that possible?!"

She had been traveling for several years, and Blastoise had been by her side since the beginning of her journey. It was also one of her main Pokémon. How could she not know that Blastoise could evolve to an even higher level?

The sea man slumped on the ground, and the sky man who had left the scene were also shocked. They had never heard of Blastoise being able to evolve to a higher level. Who exactly was this person named Shigeru?
Facing the gazes of those around him, Xiao Mao's face was full of satisfaction. He, Young Master Xiao Mao, could finally put on a big show!

Although there weren't many spectators, the feeling of shocking the entire audience was still incredibly exhilarating! However, upon further reflection, it seemed that Ash always caused this kind of show-off commotion with his inexplicable battle style, and instantly his desire to be the king of cool quietly subsided.

Not enough. Compared to Ash, it's not impressive enough. Only by defeating this Blastoise can it be considered a truly impressive feat!
"Come on, Mewtwo, I will defeat your Blastoise!" Gary looked at Mewtwo, his expression becoming serious and solemn.

But Mewtwo didn't respond; instead, it stared blankly at Blastoise.

She had actually seen this kind of evolution before at the Viridian Gym, specifically with Ash's Venusaur.

Ash's Venusaur also used the same method to evolve to a higher stage. At that time, Mewtwo felt that the power Venusaur used to evolve was very similar to the power she had sensed before.

However, she didn't have time to think about so much during the battle; she just thought that she would definitely get the result after the battle ended.

However, after the battle, she lost consciousness. After waking up, due to a misunderstanding, she forgot the feeling she had experienced.

Mewtwo can still sense the power that belongs to her on Ash. Although it is different from the power she sensed in Gardevoir at Professor Oak's lab, Mewtwo just thinks that it is now separated by a Poké Ball, so the sense is so faint, and even the nature of the energy has changed.

But now, with Blastoise's Mega Evolution, that familiar feeling has once again lingered in Mewtwo's heart.

Is the power he's sensing in Ash the very essence of Gardevoir's spirit?
Questions arose in Mewtwo's mind, but she said nothing. Instead, she subtly moved her eyes and had her Blastoise stand on the competition stage.

Even though Gary's Blastoise underwent Mega Evolution, its energy level was still far inferior to hers.

Not only Mewtwo, but Ash could also see this.

Mega Evolution greatly improves a Pokémon, but it doesn't necessarily allow it to jump to a higher level; that would be a bit too much.

Before evolving, Gary's Blastoise was only at the beginner level of the professional class. Reaching the beginner level at that age is already quite an achievement. Look at Sora, who is over twenty years old now; his Venusaur is only at the intermediate level of the professional class.

If Gary were twenty years old, his Blastoise might even be able to go toe-to-toe with Mewtwo.

But now, Xiao Shi has only been traveling for less than half a year, and the professional level is already his limit. Even if he Mega Evolves, he will only barely reach the intermediate professional level. With the increase in base stats that comes with Mega Evolution, he can at most compete with the advanced professional level.

Therefore, it will still be difficult for Shigeru to win this battle.

"Go Blastoise, Water Pulse!" Facing Blastoise, which is also a Water-type, Gary still had his Blastoise use a Water-type move. Dense Water-type energy condensed in Blastoise's three cannons, and the next second, three Water Pulses burst out with surging power. The water columns drew three smooth arcs in the air, with faint energy ripples lingering on their surfaces.

'Water Pulse.' Mewtwo chose to use the same move in response.

"Kame!" Mewtwo Blastoise bent its body slightly, and then two powerful jets of water gushed out from the two huge cannons behind it.

"boom--!"

A deafening roar erupted instantly, and the pale blue and dark blue water-based energies clashed violently, forming a water curtain barrier several meters high.

Although Gary's three water jets were more numerous, Mewtwo Blastoise's two water jets were more powerful. The moment they collided, they suppressed the momentum of Water Pulse. A few seconds later, Gary's Water Pulse was completely suppressed, and the water flow hit Gary's Blastoise, sending it flying to the edge of the field, where it rolled around on the ground.

Even with Mega Evolution, the gap between the two is still too large. Unless Ash has Aura Fusion, this level gap is not easy to bridge.

Shigeru was well aware of the gap between the two sides. He gritted his teeth, his face showing resentment. Mega Evolution was his only means, but even after evolving, he was still no match for his opponent. Was he just going to sit and wait for death?

"Blastoise, Pulse!!" Gary shouted, gathering his strength in his dantian.

Wave Rush, like the Fire-type Flame Charge, is a high-powered, self-destructive move that inflicts a thousand damage on the enemy but also three hundred damages on the user.

This is also the most powerful move Blastoise can use right now!

Professor Oak has recently been engrossed in researching Mega Evolution, and Gary had Professor Oak conduct research on Blastoise immediately after its Mega Evolution. This research confirmed Blastoise's unique ability: it can increase the power of Pulse and Aura-type moves by 50%!

This feature was named Super Launcher by Professor Oak.

This is why Gary uses Water-type moves even when facing other Water-type Pokémon.

Wave Rush is also a wave-type move and can also benefit from the boost from the Super Launcher. However, this move is inherently a counter-damage move. The higher the power of the move, the stronger the counter-effect. When facing an opponent who is much stronger than himself, using this desperate move, Shigeru is planning to go all in!
"Kame--!!" Mega Blastoise roared, and its body was instantly enveloped in a thick layer of water that was almost tangible. The deep blue water flowed rapidly on its shell and limbs, churning and surging as if it were alive!

The next second, Blastoise's body shot out like an arrow, leaving a long blue trail of clear water in the arena.

"Water Cannon." Mewtwo's voice remained calm in the face of Mega Blastoise's powerful attack.

Mewtwo Blastoise bent its body slightly, and then two huge jets of water shot out, colliding with the Mega Blastoise that was charging head-on!
The moment the deep blue water collided with the raging water column, the violent water-type energy spread outwards like a volcanic eruption. The water around Mega Blastoise was violently shaken by the impact of the water cannon, and a look of pain appeared on its face.
