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

Chapter 236 The indifferent Shinji, the abandoned little fire monkey.

Shinji's Chimchar is undoubtedly a genius Pokémon, but he hasn't had enough time to grow. It's too early for him to appear on this stage at only the Advanced stage. Ash doesn't understand why Shinji would let Chimchar appear here.

And what exactly is Chimchar's Super Blaze ability? How is it different from regular Blaze?

While Ash was filled with doubt, the battle on the field had already begun. His opponent, Ash, had a Rock/Ground type Golem, which was very effective against Chimchar.

Not to mention that Golem is now a true elite peak level, much stronger than Chimchar. Moreover, Chimchar's various stats have not yet been trained to their limits, and its attack power is as unpredictable as Pikachu's. It will be extremely difficult for Chimchar to defeat Golem.

Or rather, it's simply impossible to win.

Even if Ash were to control it, his chances of winning wouldn't exceed 30%. This is based on Ash's estimation of the win rate without knowing what Super Blaze is.

After all, even with the aura amplification, a Chimchar at the beginner level is only at the elite beginner level, which is still quite different from Golem's level. Its stats aren't maxed out, and its form hasn't evolved. Ash doesn't know how Chimchar can fight against opponents of higher levels.

If that's the case... why did Shinji send out Chimchar?

The Chimchar on the field had already used Flame Wheel to charge forward on Shinji's command, but Golem blocked it without dodging or avoiding it.

After the Flame Wheel struck him, the scorching flames splashed, but it didn't affect him at all. Instead, he raised his fist and punched down from above, instantly extinguishing the Flame Wheel burning on the little Flame Monkey's body, and slamming his entire body to the ground!

A deafening sound rang out on the field, and even some cracks appeared on the rocky ground, demonstrating the immense power of the punch.

The Chimchar's face showed extreme pain, and it looked like it was in a lot of trouble, but Shinji, as its trainer, showed no expression and just coldly watched the Chimchar.

This action made Xiaozhi frown slightly. What was wrong with this guy?

Sending out weaker Pokémon is one thing, but the command is completely disorganized, appearing as a chaotic, direct attack. Even when Pokémon are struck hard and slammed to the ground, the commander shows no concern whatsoever.

It seems like the Pokémon fighting on the field isn't his Pokémon. Isn't that a bit too much?

The little Chimchar struggled to its feet. It looked like it was in a lot of pain, but it still chose to stand up and fight for its trainer. Seeing this, Ah Xiu showed no mercy and continued to have Golem use Rock Slide to attack.

Shinji had Chimchar use Flame Wheel to dodge, but the level difference between them was too great. Even with Flame Wheel to increase its speed, Chimchar still couldn't dodge the Rock Slide attack.

Fortunately, the flames on its body cushioned a lot of the Chimchar's power; otherwise, Chimchar would have been unable to fight by now.

Even so, Chimchar is now in a precarious state, and it looks like it will lose its ability to battle if it gets touched by the opponent again.

At this moment, Shinji's expression finally changed slightly. His indifferent expression turned serious, and he said coldly with a hint of expectation, "It's time, little Chimchar. Show me your power, and unleash the flame within you!"

Chimchar turned to look at its trainer, then clenched its teeth and desperately squeezed out all the power within its body.

He knew what power the trainer was looking for, but even after following the trainer for so long, he had never been able to unleash that power. Now, with his stamina nearing its limit, this was the most likely time he could unleash that power.

Even though Chimchar tried his best, the flames on his tail didn't get any stronger. He couldn't even use the most basic Blaze ability, let alone the Mega Blaze ability.

Ash didn't know what Shinji and Chimchar were up to, but she couldn't just stand by and watch them make a fuss. So she directly commanded Golem to attack them, unleashing a rolling attack. Chimchar, who was still desperately squeezing out all the power in its body, didn't have time to dodge and was hit directly!

The rolling attack took away the last bit of Chimchar's strength. After the heavy blow, Chimchar slid down next to Shinji. However, Shinji not only did not comfort Chimchar in the slightest, but his eyes were also full of disappointment.

"Useless thing." Shinji said, recalling Chimchar back into its Poké Ball, and then took out his next Pokémon, Torterra.

Shinji's voice wasn't deliberately suppressed, but even Ash and his friends, who were relatively close, couldn't hear it much due to the noisy environment. However, Ash's ears were quite sensitive, so he heard what Shinji said.

This caused Xiaozhi's face to show barely concealed anger: "This guy... he's really gone too far!"

"What's wrong, Ash?"

"When Chimchar slid down to him just now, Shinji didn't comfort him at all; instead, he told him it was useless!"

Xiao Zhi's words startled Xiao Gang and the others, and their faces immediately showed anger and indignation.

"That's outrageous! Instead of comforting the Pokémon after it lost its ability to battle, the trainer said the Pokémon was useless. How can there be such a trainer?"

"That kind of guy can train a high-level Pokémon in a gym in just a year and a half? I can't accept that!"

"Ash, if we ever run into him in a match, we'll definitely teach him a lesson!"

The three people had a lot of opinions about Shinji's actions. The Spirits fought so hard for you, and after losing their ability to fight, you just say they're useless?

How is Shinji's behavior any different from Team Rocket's? In fact, Team Rocket's care for the Pokémon is many times greater than Shinji's!
How could someone who shows absolutely no respect for spirits train them to such a powerful level?! Is there no justice in this world anymore?!
With Shinji sending out Torterra, there's no need to watch the rest of the battle. Shuu's Pokémon are not weak, but they are completely powerless against the Torterra at the top of the gym.

Moreover, the Earth-type Tortoise did not exert any effort at all, so even if someone wanted to collect data on the Earth-type Tortoise for analysis, they would not have enough information.

Aside from knowing that Torterra was at the top level of the Gym, Shinji knew nothing else about it, which is why he chose to release Torterra as his second Pokémon.

Torterra is his trump card, and if the information about it is exposed, it will not be very advantageous for him. On the other hand, his trump card Pokémon does not need to use its full strength to deal with some weak trainers. In that case, even if Torterra fights, others will not be able to collect information about it.

Others can only tell that Torterra is at the peak of the gym level, and it's impossible to gather other information. Anyway, some information about Torterra was already known during the previous torch incident, so we might as well continue to let Torterra fight.

This is Shinji's strategy.

In fact, this strategy was quite successful. Even though Shinji used Torterra to defeat three opponents, those observing Shinji's movements still couldn't discern anything. Only Ash had a complete view of Torterra's movements.

"I didn't expect that Shinji's Torterra was already at the peak of the gym. He has really continued to improve in the past few months!" Gary watched Shinji recall Torterra and walk off the stage with a cold expression, muttering to himself.

He felt this guy was showing off, but he had no proof.

Although Shinji is cold, he is actually quite handsome. His cold aura even adds to his charm, so many girls around him cheer and express their love for him.

Of course, Shinji wouldn't care about such things, but Shigeru couldn't stand others showing off like that.

Ash is out of the question, he's definitely not as good as him...

But what is Shinji? He only traveled for a slightly longer time than him. If they had the same amount of time, he could definitely beat Shinji to a pulp!

But then again, the competition is based on current strength. If future strength could be included, then everyone would be borrowing from the future. So Xiao Mao's resentment is useless.

"That Torterra isn't just a top-tier gym leader. If the pressure of this year's Indigo League is high enough, it might even reach the Elite Four level," Ash, who hadn't said much until now, suddenly spoke up.

He had been analyzing Shinji's Torterra and had now come to the conclusion that Shinji's Torterra hadn't just reached the peak of the gym; it had been stuck there for quite some time.

The evidence is that the Earth-type Tortoise's various abilities have been trained to their peak, with one ability reaching S-rank: stamina.

Without a long period of training, it is virtually impossible to max out one's abilities.

Now that Torterra's stats are maxed out, advancing to the Elite Four level should be just a matter of time. As long as it gains enough combat experience or experiences enough pressure in the Adaptation Tournament, it can advance to the Elite Four level.

Shigeru is right. Shinji is indeed his formidable rival, and his biggest opponent in this Indigo League. In terms of Pokémon level, only Pikachu can rival Shinji's Torterra. If they don't use special methods, it's really hard to say who will win between them.

However, when it comes to a serious battle, Ash is naturally not going to be foolish enough to hold back; he will use all the necessary tactics.

After Shinji's match ended, the group watched the next match, found it uninteresting, and left.

As he left, some people noticed Ash, but thanks to Misty's 'shushing', he didn't cause much of a commotion. He simply signed autographs for a few people and then successfully left.

Xiao Zhi is now a celebrity, and without a mask, he's quite easy to recognize.

After emerging unscathed, the group prepared to go to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Contestants are provided with free lunch and dinner, and can bring up to three family members. Shigeru and Ash could bring a total of six people, but there were only two available, so there were more than enough spots.

The food in the Indigo Plateau wasn't bad, but it was just average. After taking a couple of bites, Ash realized it was far inferior to what he could cook, and for a moment he couldn't eat anymore.

This surprised even Ash himself. So... his own cooking skills had spoiled his palate? Goodness, is that even possible?

Pikachu isn't picky at all; as long as there's ketchup, it'll eat anything!

Anyway, Xiao Zhi couldn't understand what was going on with adding ketchup to rice.

With nothing to do, Xiao Zhi looked out the window and was taken aback.

"You guys eat first, I'm going out for a bit." Ash said, grabbing Pikachu with ketchup still on its mouth and running out. Brock and the others looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Until Xiao Mao looked out the window...

"Is that Shinji? And that Pokémon is Chimchar? What are they doing over there?" Looking out the window, you could see Shinji and Chimchar standing face to face on a small lawn outside. Chimchar had a very dejected expression on its face, while Shinji remained indifferent.

"It seems Ash must have heard or sensed Chimchar's situation. Judging from Chimchar's appearance, it hasn't even recovered at the Pokémon Center." The scene outside also made Brock's expression darken.

Chimchar didn't recover at the Pokémon Center for so long after the battle. What is Shinji doing as a trainer?
"Let's go out and take a look."

"it is good."

……

Outside, Ash led a bewildered Pikachu to the lawn, just as Shinji spoke up, "You can leave now, I don't need you here anymore."

"Whoa!" The little fire monkey looked up, its face full of disbelief, as if it thought it had misheard.

"I have no ability to train you. You came from whoever you are... never mind, go wherever you want. Anyway, there's no place for you here. My team has no weaklings."

Shinji initially wanted to say that they should go back to where they came from, but then he realized that this was not the Sinnoh region, so he changed his words slightly, but the general meaning remained the same: he wanted Chimchar to leave his team.

The little chimpanzee has been abandoned by him.

"Giggle!!" Upon hearing Shinji's words, the usually timid Chimchar suddenly spoke up loudly. Although Shinji couldn't understand the Spirits' language, he could roughly guess that Chimchar was saying something like "Don't abandon me."

But he had made up his mind.

Several months have passed since he caught Chimchar. He sends out Chimchar in every gym challenge in Kanto, but without exception, Chimchar loses every time.

In just a few months, its level has only gone from the newly acquired ordinary peak to the current advanced beginner level, which is quite a poor progress...
