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

Chapter 244 The flamboyant aristocratic girl, Xunzi, and the long-awaited Butterfly Show.

Ash is quite sensitive to negative emotions; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to vaguely recognize Team Rocket every time he sees them without using his Aura.

As for Shinji, he didn't actually have much ill will towards him, but he felt that Shinji was a bit too extreme and that his way of treating Spirits was wrong. For people like that, all he had to do was correct them.

However, today, he gained a completely new understanding of Shinji. Shinji is not as cold and indifferent as he appears on the surface, nor does he have no feelings for Pokémon. At least Ash could clearly sense Shinji's feelings for Infernape.

Shinji did many things today that he wouldn't normally do. Ash doesn't know Shinji very well, since they've only known each other for a short time, or even that they really know each other. But he actually learned some information about Shinji from a parallel world.

To reiterate, he and Da-you are not the same kind of people.

"Huh?" Ash's words made Infernape raise its head and stare at him with its bright eyes, as if trying to confirm whether Ash was telling the truth or not.

"Of course it's true. That guy still cares about you quite a bit, so we need to work hard and not let that arrogant guy down. Let's strive to have the strength to fight him in the main competition!"

"Ho-choo!!" Infernape nodded vigorously, his face showing excitement. He couldn't wait to start training.

During this period, Ash practically didn't train him at all; he spent most of his time relaxing, playing with his Pokémon, and wandering around the Indigo Plateau with Ash, playing games...

These past few days have been the most relaxed time for Chimchar. The relaxation of both mind and body allowed Chimchar to unleash its full power in today's battle.

This is why Chimchar's strength can soar to the advanced peak after evolving into Infernape. If it weren't for the fact that its current level is not yet fully consolidated and it's not good to improve further, it could even have improved to the elite level after defeating Gengar.

However, leveling up too quickly is not a good thing, so Ash also asked Infernape to suppress its level as much as possible, and then level up after its stats have increased.

These few days of league matches will surely allow the Fire Monkey to reach a whole new level!

……

The subsequent matches proceeded smoothly without any unexpected incidents. Ash and Gary both defeated their opponents in the third match.

In the third match, Ash continued to use Infernape, but he only used Infernape to defeat the opponent's first Pokémon before switching back. If Infernape were to keep fighting, it would be somewhat unfair to the other Pokémon.

So Ash sent Tauros and Gengar into battle yesterday.

Tauros had a tough time, but still won. As for Gengar... he played around on the field for a full five minutes before finally defeating his opponent. If he had been serious, he could have ended the battle in a second. But since he rarely comes out to battle, and has always been a teacher in the backyard, he put in a lot of effort in this match, and managed to appear to be on par with his opponent.

After playing for a while, he finally made it look like he had barely won, and Ash was quite helpless about it. Although he felt a little sorry for his opponent, he was willing to let them play if it made his Pokémon happy while he was in control of the situation.

On the eighth and final day of the Indigo League, the fourth match began. If they won the fourth match, they would advance to the top 32 of the Indigo League.

In other words, this fourth match can also be considered a match in the round of 64.

This was the last day of the Quartz Conference preliminaries. Shigeru glanced at his opponent in the top 64, a boy wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.

However, trainers who have been traveling for more than two years are not allowed to participate in the Indigo League, so theoretically, the boy should be around seventeen years old.

But that wasn't what Xiao Mao was concerned about. What bothered him was the nightmare that had been plaguing him for days. For the past few days, he had been dreaming every night that he had been eliminated in the top 64 of the Quartz Tournament. The nightmare was absolutely terrifying.

The group he was in wasn't very strong; there were hardly any people in it who could keep up with him. If he were to fall in the top 64, he might as well slit his throat and commit suicide.

Today's opponent is the strongest of the four preliminary matches, but it shouldn't be a problem for him. As long as he goes all out, there shouldn't be any major issues.

Therefore, Xiao Shi decided to bring out all his treasured Pokémon except for Mega Evolution, and get into the top 32 first.

Ash's opponent this time is a girl named Kaoru. She seems to be a young lady from a prestigious family. She looks beautiful and her clothes are very elegant.

Although he hasn't seen the real person yet, Xiao Gang's eyes are already sparkling with hearts and he's acting like a lecherous pig just from seeing the photos.

The last time Xiao Gang showed this expression was when he saw Cynthia, but since Cynthia was very far away, Xiao Gang didn't have many opportunities to be infatuated with her.

Coupled with Cynthia's inherent champion aura, Xiao Gang usually restrains his infatuation, but this time he doesn't...

On the fourth day of the competition, Ash would fight first in the morning, while Gary would fight in the afternoon.

This time, the stage was the Grass Field. With the host's shout, Ash and Kaoru walked out from the contestant stage. Ash's appearance was unremarkable, while Kaoru's was much more exaggerated.

A red carpet stretched from the players' lounge all the way to the players' stage. Kaoru, holding an umbrella and wearing a kimono, walked out gracefully step by step. As she stepped out from the shadows of the players' lounge, countless flower petals fell from the sky, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.

Kaoru, holding an umbrella, moved gracefully among the petals, appearing exceptionally beautiful and elegant, radiating the air of a noble young lady.

Everyone says that Sundae is a young lady from a wealthy family, but compared to Kaoru, she's nothing. Kaoru is clearly from a prestigious family.

A serene woman walks gracefully through the cherry blossoms. If this were a fashion show instead of the Quartz Convention, this opening would be enough to earn her a perfect score!

However, Xiaozhi didn't feel anything about it. He only had one feeling about Xunzi: she was too flamboyant!
Is this a competition or a performance?

"You also think it's too over-the-top, right, Pikachu?"

"Pika Pika~" Pikachu nodded helplessly. Kaoru was the one with the most exaggerated entrance among the four contestants, and also the one with the loudest cheers from the surrounding crowd.

Almost half of the audience were cheering for Kaoru. They were all wearing headbands with Kaoru's name on them, and some even had Kaoru's chibi character printed on them. They must all be Kaoru's die-hard fans.

This is the first time in Ash's four battles that the cheers on his side have been less than those on the other side, which shows Kaoru's influence.

Regardless of their actual strength, the atmosphere and cheerleading squad were undoubtedly the strongest in the entire Indigo League, bar none. After all, they managed to suppress the cheers for Ash; isn't that impressive enough? Ash's fame and strength are among the top in the Indigo League, yet his fans seemed incredibly weak in the face of Kaoru's cheerleading squad.

It's not that we're too weak, but that the enemy is too strong!

Xunzi's fans seem to be all die-hard fans. Whether they are fans with real talent is unknown, but they are definitely fans of her looks. Yellow is the primary driving force.jpg

"I've heard so much about you, Ash from Pallet Town. I'm Kaoru from Girls Town. Nice to meet you." Kaoru said, bowing slightly to Ash with impeccable manners.

"Um...ah...I'm Ash from Pallet Town, nice to meet you." After a moment of hesitation, Ash returned the bow in a proper manner. This was the first time he had been so polite at the Indigo League. Usually, the two sides would nod to each other after meeting and then start battling.

After exchanging greetings, the contestant platform was raised, the referee waved his flag to announce the start of the match, and both players simultaneously threw out their Poké Balls.

"Winning brings flowers, losing brings only withered flowers and fallen willows! I will not concede victory in this battle!"

"I've chosen you, Butterfly!"

With a flash of light, the Pokémon of both sides appeared on the field. Ash sent out Butterfree, which had not been in a formal battle for a long time, while Kaoru sent out Beedrill!
Butterfree is at the Advanced Job level, having just leveled up yesterday, while Beedrill is only at the Advanced Elite level.

Beedrill is the final evolution of the unicorn, while Butterfly is the final evolution of the caterpillar.

These two Pokémon are among the most numerous inhabitants of Viridian Forest, and are also favorites of Bug Catchers, considered the two most classic Bug-type Pokémon.

However, the potential of these two Pokémon is quite limited. Generally speaking, once they reach the peak of their advanced form, they will enter the ultimate slow-speed stage. There are definitely many Gym-level Pokémon in the world, but Bug-type Gym-level Pokémon are extremely rare.

Kaoru's ability to train a Beedrill to Elite rank is already quite impressive, but Ash is even better!
"Beedrill, use Twin Needle Attack!"

"Big Butterfly, Whirlwind!"

Beedrill brandished its sharp stingers and charged at Butterfree, while Butterfree flapped its wings in place, creating a sudden gust of wind that sent many grass roots flying!

The Beedrill that charged straight ahead was caught in the whirlwind!

Kaoru was startled and cried out Beedrill's name, but Beedrill had already lost itself in the whirlwind and eventually fell down under the sweep of the storm, crashing heavily to the ground.

"boom!!"

Grass roots flew off the lawn, and the Beedrill lay on the ground as if asleep, having lost its ability to fight.

Flying-type moves are incredibly effective against Bug-type Beedrill. Combined with the level difference between the two, even a relatively weak Whirlwind can KO it in one hit!

This scene immediately silenced the cheerleaders behind Kaoru; the louder they had been just moments before, the quieter they became now.

Although they are fans who prioritize looks, Xunzi has relied on her own abilities to get where she is today, and fans can't help her by promoting her.

Therefore, the fact that the first battle was lost so decisively far exceeded the fans' expectations.

Beedrill is unable to battle; Butterfree wins!

The fans remained silent, but the referee's voice arrived as expected.

Having watched many of Ash's previous matches, I wasn't surprised by this result; in fact, it felt somewhat inevitable.

Ash's opponents are generally no match for him; being instantly defeated is normal. Sometimes, although the battles are close and evenly matched, Ash always emerges victorious in the end.

Despite having used a lot of Pokémon along the way, none of his Pokémon have ever lost their battle ability, and he has never managed to defeat three opponents at once. This is mainly because Ash wants to give his Pokémon more experience and training.

He's not in the same league as most of the contestants at the Quartz Conference.

"As expected of that legendary person, he really has some skills..." Kaoru bit her red lips, her expression slightly unpleasant as she retracted the Beedrill.
After a brief silence, the cheerleaders behind him erupted in even more deafening cheers, and the entire stadium seemed to shake at that moment!
Ash and Butterfree were both startled: "What is that? An off-field attack?!"

The noise was indeed affecting the condition of the fighters on the field. Even if it wasn't Kaoru's intention, the presence of these cheerleaders would definitely weaken her opponents.

"Go Ash!!!" Brock's shout rang out behind Ash. He was probably sitting in the middle of the audience. For his voice to reach Ash's ears through so much noise was already a sign that he was shouting his heart out.

Xiao Zhi didn't turn around, but instead gave a thumbs-up and gestured behind him.

Although Gang is a womanizer, when it comes to serious matters, he's always the brother standing behind him. He wouldn't cheer for the other side in a situation like this.

After calming down for a while, Kaoru took out her second Poké Ball: "Next up is the second one... Go, Scyther!"

With a flash of light, a bright green praying mantis appeared on the field.

Scyther, a Bug-type Pokémon, is one of the most powerful Bug-type Pokémon.

Bug-type Pokémon not only have low stats, but also generally low potential. However, Scyther is different. It is the king of the Bug-type Pokémon and can have extremely high stats and potential without evolving.

However, after evolving into Scizor, there are no changes in its abilities. Scizor's form is more of a form change than an evolution, as the two have different focuses.

Xunzi's Scyther has reached the elite peak, but it is still somewhat inferior to Butterfree.

However, Ash recalled Butterfree...
