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

Chapter 254 Finding Help: A New Boss, Ash Ketchum, the Friend of Legendary Pokémon!
Team Rocket's disbandment began because of a battle bet between Ash and Giovanni, which was actually Giovanni's own doing.

But when Ash heard Giovanni's statement, he agreed without hesitation, because in his opinion, if Kanto didn't have Team Rocket, it would become peaceful and quiet.

Ash risked everything to battle Giovanni, and ultimately won.

At first, things were indeed going well. After Team Rocket was gone, things calmed down considerably in Kanto. The sudden disintegration of such a large organization made all the evil organizations in Kanto feel threatened, fearing that this was the work of the League and that they would be the next targets.

But later... other organizations realized what was happening and started to establish themselves in Kanto based on the disbandment of Team Rocket.

Previously, there was a Rockets team in Kanto, and it was very difficult for them to interfere in Kanto. Let alone establish bases in various leagues like the Rockets, they couldn't even establish a foothold in other leagues.

The Rockets were able to do that because they made a deal with the league. What right do other evil organizations have? Do they really think the league is just sitting around doing nothing?

But now, the situation has slipped out of the league's control. The disbandment of the Rockets has given other organizations an opportunity to take advantage of the Rockets' disbandment and start to grow stronger in other places, especially in Kanto.

The Galactic Team that Cynthia mentioned was the first one they had heard of, but it was by no means the last, or even the first, to invade Kanto.

The disbandment of the Rockets actually brought harm to the entire league... This was something Ash never expected.

He couldn't help but recall what the experts in the group had said: disbanding the Rockets might not actually be a good thing. But at that time, the die was cast, and he had no choice but to go ahead. He couldn't just deliberately lose to the other side, could he?

At that time, Ash didn't understand what the big shots meant. Why was it not a good thing to beat Giovanni and disband Team Rocket? If something that benefits the entire league isn't a good thing, then what is?

Now he finally understands that what seems good on the surface is not necessarily a good thing, and may even make the outcome worse.

Originally, the League could control Team Rocket and even knew their background. Although Team Rocket gradually broke free of control and created a terrifying being like Mewtwo, compared to other organizations, they still had a certain degree of control.

The newly arrived organizations are completely hidden in the shadows, with the enemy in the dark and the alliance in the open, which is very disadvantageous for the alliance.

What little Lugia has experienced is just the beginning; there may be many other things hidden in the shadows that they haven't discovered yet.

"...I heard that Team Magma and Team Aqua from the Hoenn League have also come, including Team Plasma from the Unova region and Team Flare from the Kalos region."

Ash and the others: ...

Isn't this a bunch of evil organizations from all regions coming over?! The Johto region, like the Kanto region, is Team Rocket's territory, so no other evil organizations came from Johto. But apart from Johto, every region sent a wave of people!
Although Ash didn't recognize any of them, the fact that Cynthia singled them out meant that these evil organizations were all on par with Team Galactic.

With the Rockets disbanding, everyone's rushing to grab this hot commodity!
On the one hand, they can absorb Team Rocket's power to strengthen their own organization. On the other hand, this is the best opportunity to establish a foothold in Kanto and Johto. If they succeed, then Kanto and Johto will be the most chaotic regions in the entire league!
This time, it's a complete case of good intentions gone wrong, and the worst possible outcome.

The original intention was to make Kanto and Johto the most peaceful alliance regions, but now it seems they're going to become the most disorderly alliance regions—if those guys just settle down here.

"Xiaoxia, Xiaogang...did I do something wrong?" Xiaozhi's eyes were filled with confusion. If he hadn't blindly agreed to Giovanni's conditions, would this have been avoided? Or perhaps it would have been better if he had just lost that time...?

“No, Ash. Lorelei already told me about Team Rocket. You did the right thing.” Cynthia shook her head, immediately refuting Ash’s idea on behalf of Brock and Misty.

"If it weren't for you, the League wouldn't have discovered Team Rocket's wolfish ambitions. To put it bluntly, a God-level being under their control is more dangerous than those evil organizations. Don't be fooled by Team Galactic's claim that they're going to capture the Sea God. In reality, if they actually encountered the Sea God, he could wipe them out with a single breath. There's no need to worry about that."

What makes Team Rocket terrifying compared to other organizations is their personnel spread across all regions and their research capabilities. They can even create Pokémon of legendary quality, and they even have Poké Balls that can forcibly capture other people's Pokémon. If these things were mass-produced and distributed to all members of the organization, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Ash and Giovanni's bet to disband Team Rocket is not a problem. In the long run, Team Rocket is more harmful than all other organizations combined.

The problem wasn't Xiao Zhi, but the league's subsequent handling. The league failed to promptly eliminate all the key executives of the Rockets when they disbanded, which led to the situation where Rockets executives and players joined other organizations.

However, we can't really blame the League too much. After all, the League can't spare any manpower either, especially the Kanto League. They practically share the Elite Four with the Johto League. To put it bluntly, they only have two high-end combatants: Lorelei and Akiko.

The other two are both champions and kings of Kanto and Johto, so in total, the two leagues only have five kings and one champion – just in terms of responsibilities.

In terms of actual strength, he is roughly equivalent to four champions and two kings, making him extremely powerful in high-end combat, but unfortunately, he is unable to be in two places at once.

Dealing with the Rockets' top brass could be done by having them take action, but those top brass members remained hidden. It wasn't until Adu and his team were entangled with minor Rockets players that the league's spies discovered the Rockets' top brass. By then, it was too late for Adu and his team to get there.

The league's handling of the situation was seriously flawed, which led to this terrible state of affairs. If Ash's approach is considered problematic, then there is no such thing as a problem-free approach in the world.

Justice is never wrong. If even justice itself is denied, will anyone in the world still do what is right?
With Cynthia's comfort, Ash finally recovered somewhat from the blow, but he didn't think that the current situation had nothing to do with him.

Regardless of what the future of the Rockets might have been like if he hadn't investigated, what happened has already occurred, and it can be said that he indirectly caused it, so he also has to take responsibility for it.

Putting aside the immediate concerns, both morally and logically, he had to heal little Lugia. Little Lugia's life was related to a series of matters, especially if the Sea God knew about this situation. The Sea God might not give the Alliance a chance to explain. This was also why the Alliance wanted to find the Sea God first. Finding the Sea God was a completely different situation from the Sea God discovering little Lugia's condition and coming after them.

After discussing recent international events with Cynthia, she temporarily bid farewell to everyone. Due to Team Galactic, she had many things to take care of here, and she made an appointment with them to come back to Ash to treat Lugia the next morning.

After Cynthia left, Ash's smile faded a little. Misty noticed Ash's unease and patted his shoulder, saying, "Don't think too much, Ash. Didn't Cynthia say that things would be worse without you? It's not your fault that things are like this."

"They're both right. If you think stopping Giovanni is wrong, then... isn't saving me wrong too?" Mewtwo, who had been quietly listening from the side, suddenly spoke up.

She was actually a little embarrassed to say the last sentence, but in order to prevent Xiaozhi from suffering unnecessary torment from his conscience, she still spoke her mind.

Regardless of the positive or negative impact on the league and the world order, saving her is a real matter. If she had continued with the Rockets, who knows how far she would have fallen?

To put it bluntly, the influence of just one elf like her is greater than the combined influence of all evil organizations.

Those evil organizations are currently in the stage of invading the Kanto and Johto regions, and the Alliance will also send people to stop them. This confrontation between the two sides can be called a game.

However, if she joins Sakaki in committing evil deeds after advancing to the God Realm level, then it will no longer be a game of strategy, but a one-sided crushing defeat!

Without a god-level being to stop them, the entire pass will fall!

Moreover, for Ash, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to pull her out of the mire. This is what Ash cares about most. This is her understanding of Ash after spending time with him.

After hearing Mewtwo's words of comfort, Ash finally raised his head, a certain light shining in his eyes: "Thank you, Mewtwo, Misty, Brock, I've recovered. I'll go think of a way to heal Lugia. I'll leave dinner to you."

Ash said the last sentence to Misty and Brock. After a battle and a long conversation, it was almost evening before they knew it.

Ash needs to find a way to help Lugia recover, so the cooking will have to be left to Brock and the others for now.

As for how Ash will find a solution, that's Ash's own business. If it's Ash, he'll definitely be able to solve it, and that's what Misty and the others think.

Mewtwo watched Ash and Pikachu enter the room, their figures gradually disappearing.

Ash is working hard, and she won't be idle either. If we're talking about who Ash has the best chance of finding the Sea God right now, it's naturally her. She's going to the Orange Islands!
……

Back in his room, Ash sat on the bed, told Pikachu not to disturb him, and then closed his eyes.

Pikachu tilted its head, not asking Ash why he insisted on coming into the room to close his eyes and think, but instead quietly lay down next to Ash, closed its eyes, and pretended to sleep.

Ash closed his eyes and naturally entered the chat group. Speaking of which, he had been entering the chat group less often since the Indigo League started.

On the one hand, it's because he is also gradually growing and won't rely on the big shots in the chat group forever. He has gradually forged his own path. All that's left to do is digest and absorb the knowledge taught by the big shots, and then he can become the complete Ash who combines the power of all the Ash from parallel worlds!
However, today's battle made Ash realize that he is still far from being a top trainer and needs to continue learning.

Of course, he didn't come into the chat group to complain about how badly he lost the game, but because of Lucia.

As Ash shouted, all the big shots in the group popped up, and Ash also posted Lugia's situation, as well as the cause and effect, into the group.

[Champion Ash: I didn't expect something like this to happen after Team Rocket disbanded, but it was actually predictable. Where there is light, there is bound to be darkness. Even if Team Rocket disbands, other evil organizations will emerge to take its place. We've already told you this before. Your actions in destroying Team Rocket weren't wrong, so don't worry about it.]

[Newbie Ash: Yeah, thanks for the comforting words, but Mewtwo and Misty have already talked me through it, so I've moved on. Now I'm more concerned about how to deal with Lugia's situation. Has anyone encountered this before?]

[Champion Ash: Oh? It's surprising that Mewtwo, that usually so blunt person, is actually comforting people. It seems you and her have successfully formed a bond... As for Lugia's situation, that guy should know something about it. @LegendaryPokémonFriendAsh]

[Ash, the friend of legendary Pokémon: Hey hey~ I've already looked through the situation. It's not a big deal, but Lugia still has Psychic-type power within it. Dark-type is the mortal enemy of Psychic-type. What you need to do is completely remove the Psychic-type power from Lugia's body, and then Lugia's life will be guaranteed.]

Ash, the friend of legendary Pokémon... This is a big shot with a prefix that I've never seen before. Ash has been in the chat group for so long, and this is the first time I've seen him pop up.

However, since Champion Ash tagged him, it's enough to show that the other party is reliable. In the whole group, Ash thinks that Champion Ash is the most reliable.

The bigwigs he introduced should be pretty good too.

Ash's method doesn't seem too difficult. If removing the Psychic attribute can save Lugia, then once he regains his power, doing this will be a piece of cake.

[Ash, the friend of legendary Pokémon: But...]
