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

Chapter 270 The Evolution Everyone's Been Waiting For: The Abandoned Monkey! A monkey unlike any other in the world!
Gary had glimpsed Infernape's strength before and estimated it to be only around Elite High level. Even if it had improved since the first time he encountered it, it was still at most a Pro Beginner.

This level is roughly equivalent to a mid-to-low-tier Pokémon in his possession, unless Ash uses his unusual moves to boost the Pokémon's power.

But what's the point of sending out Primal Monkey? Just to give Primal Monkey some exposure? And then use him as a whetstone for Primal Monkey?
Whatever the reason, Xiao Mao is now a bit angry. What happened to going all out? You sent this thing to fob me off? You weren't like this when you were fighting Hiro and Kohei!

Ash only used a large number of his second team of Pokémon when he faced that random player in the top eight, and when he faced Hiro's relatively weaker opponent, he used Pikachu and Charizard as his two main Pokémon.

Even if it's the third Butterfree, it's still one of Ash's top-tier second-team fighters. Why did he send out a Magmar instead?!

Despite Gary's constant claims that he would have a chance of winning if Ash sent out his second team of Pokémon, he actually didn't want Ash to send out his second team of Pokémon to fight him. As his childhood friend and rival, he preferred to have a full-fledged battle with Ash rather than a fight against Ash's weakened forces.

Just as Shigeru's face turned extremely pale, Ash smiled at him and said, "Do you remember? I told you yesterday that I would show you a brand new power that belongs to me."

Xiaomao:?
It seems there was such a thing. At the time, he thought Ash was talking about a brand new Mega Evolution. If a new type of Mega Evolution appeared, he might be a little surprised, but he wouldn't be too surprised anymore.

After all, he knew the Mega Evolution system inside and out. Even if Ash had other Pokémon that could Mega Evolve, he wouldn't be too surprised. Anyway, Ash already had more than just one or two Mega Evolved Pokémon.

"Watch closely, this is the brand new evolution for Primeape! Primeape, you're ready! Evolve now, under this stage where everyone is watching!!!"

"Ho-choo!!" Infernape put its hands on its waist, roared to the sky, and its body burst forth with unparalleled colorful light!
Amidst the astonished gazes of countless people, its size grew even larger, and the light slowly dissipated after a moment, revealing the true form of Primeape after its evolution.

The Infernape's body had completely changed; its original white fur had turned gray, and its hands and feet had changed from brown to dark black.

And long, snow-white hair, like that of a demon, grew from his head and extended upwards, while his powerful black pupils turned crimson!

His arms became even thicker, and one of the black iron wrists that had been locked on his hands broke off, while the other was also in a broken state and hanging on his wrist.

The overall image has changed so much from the original, and the new Infernape gives people a very terrifying feeling, as if it is a demon that has returned from hell!
Xiao Mao's mouth gaped open in astonishment, his pupils dilated as if an earthquake had struck, and his mouth trembled uncontrollably. He seemed to want to say something, but he was too shocked to utter a word.

After a brief silence, the surrounding audience erupted in a tremendous tremor.

"Holy crap! What is that?! Is it a Mega Evolution of Primeape?! This appearance... should I call it cool or weird?"

"No, no, no, that wasn't Mega Evolution. Recently, some tech experts online analyzed that Mega Evolution requires two items, and there's a connection between the Pokémon and the Trainer. That wasn't present on the Primeape just now."

"That's right, this seems more like a normal evolution for Primeape... but how can Primeape possibly evolve?!"

"Yeah, Mega Evolution is one thing, but normal evolution... isn't this a bit too outrageous? If this is supposed to be Primeape's normal evolution, then wouldn't that mean..."

"Doesn't that mean Ash invented a completely new kind of evolution?!"

"This evolved Infernape looks scary, but it also gives off a more powerful feeling. I bet a child would cry in less than three seconds if he stared at it."

"..."

People around were discussing the evolution of Primeape. At first, some people speculated that Primeape might have also undergone Mega Evolution to become what it is now.

But it was immediately rejected by some knowledgeable people.

Although Dong Ge is not a powerful trainer himself, he is already very knowledgeable about Mega Evolution because he surfed the internet as soon as possible.

Ash hasn't released detailed information about Mega Evolution yet, so the information online is mostly based on conclusions drawn by researchers studying the footage, but it's generally accurate.

That is, MEGA evolution requires items to complete, and it also requires a special connection between the trainer and the Pokémon. During the evolution, a gem will appear on the Pokémon and a light will be generated connecting it with the trainer.

These are the conditions currently known to be required for MEGA evolution.

Ash's Primeape's evolution was just a normal flash of evolutionary light, without any of the effects of the previous Mega Evolution. In other words... Primeape's evolution was just a normal one!

But Infernape is the well-known final evolution of monkey monsters, so how could there be an evolution to the next level?
If it existed, it would have been discovered long ago.

Professor Oak in the audience also suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on the evolved Infernape, or more accurately, the Forsaken!

Ash had told him before that Primeape had the possibility of further evolution, but he thought it was just Ash's imagination. He had studied Ash's Primeape carefully, and in terms of the genetic chain, Primeape's form was already the pinnacle of its genetic chain, and it was impossible for it to evolve further.

But Ash's Primeape does have something special about it: it can use Ghost-type moves, specifically a move called Rage Punch.

That move is one that no other Primalta has learned; it seems that only Ash's Primalta is an exception.

To conclude that Primeape has a completely new evolution based on that skill is a bit too hasty. Even though Ash said it was the result he detected using Aura, Professor Oak only believed it three-tenths of the time, and still had doubts about the remaining seven-tenths.

After all, while the power of aura is strong, it's not omnipotent. It would be too overpowered to detect even the evolution of Pokémon.

But now, it felt like two invisible hands had slapped him in the face. Primeape has really evolved!

Moreover, first-stage evolution and second-stage evolution are completely different things. The improvement of a Pokémon by first-stage evolution is definitely not as great as that by second-stage evolution. For some Pokémon that can only evolve once, the improvement after their evolution is enormous, even comparable to some Pokémon evolving twice in a row.

Primeape originally only had one evolution, and even after that, it wasn't weak; the improvement was only slightly less than some Pokémon's second evolution. Now that Primeape has a second evolution, it might be able to rival pseudo-legendary Pokémon! However, all of this is just Professor Oak's speculation. He's currently eager for Gary and Ash's match to end quickly so he can get to the finals tomorrow. After the finals, he'll rush back to the lab to research the new Primeape!

This is a completely new existence, different from MEGA evolution!

In the special audience seats, the Elite Four and Steven also stood up to watch the abandoned monkey on the field. In just two days, Ash had brought them so many surprises.

First it was able to undergo a second Mega Evolution, and now it has shown a completely new evolution for Primeape.

The Indigo League seemed to have become a one-man show for Ash. Lance and the others had long predicted that Ash would win the Indigo League championship, but they did not expect the process to be like this.

"The evolution of Primeape... Ash always manages to come up with all sorts of weird and wonderful things, truly proving the saying—'Heroes emerge from among the young!'" Lance couldn't help but exclaim.

If I didn't know Ash's age and all his other details, I would have thought Ash was Arceus who had turned into a human and come to play in the human world. There are just too many new things coming out of him!

"A completely new evolution for Primeape... It looks pretty cool! I need Ash to get me one too. It should still be a Fighting-type after this evolution, right?" Shiba said, rubbing his hands together with anticipation.

"Heh, so what if it's a Fighting-type or not? Don't you have any Pokémon other than Fighting-type?" Lorelei rolled her eyes and said sarcastically to Shiba.

Despite being a Fighting-type Elite Four member, not all of Shiba's Pokémon are Fighting-type. He also has an evolved Steelix, so Shiba doesn't need to worry about whether his Monkey King is Fighting or not; it works for him regardless.

Just like when A-Du claims to be the Dragon-type Elite Four member, look at A-Du's lineup: Charizard, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, Altaria, Kingdra, and Dragonite. Seeing this lineup and combining it with A-Du's statement that he is the Dragon-type Elite Four member, anyone who doesn't laugh is a genius.

Despite having "dragon" in their names, the first three Pokémon don't actually have the dragon attribute, while Altaria, though not having "dragon" in its name, does have the dragon attribute.

A team with three non-Dragon-type Pokémon dares to call itself the Dragon-type Elite Four? They're more like the Flying-type Elite Four!

Because five out of Adu's six Pokémon are Flying-type!

Compared to Shiba, this one is completely unconstrained by simple attributes; perhaps anything with "dragon" in its name would suit him.

A-Du felt a chill run down his spine as Kona stared at him with a strange look in her eyes. He had a feeling that Kona was thinking about something bad.

Shiba scratched his head a little embarrassed by Kona's words. Indeed, regardless of whether Abandoned Monkey is a Fighting type or not, he would definitely try to catch one if he liked it. After all, he wasn't someone who was bound by his Elite Four title.

Anyway, with Adu, the fake Dragon King, standing in front, what does this matter?
……

The gasps and whispers around them brought a smile to Ash's and Abandoned's faces.

This is exactly the effect we wanted! Otherwise, what was the point of all that evolution? Wasn't it all so we could shock the world today?!

Since it's a completely new evolution, it should naturally be shown to the whole world and make a big splash... Actually, that's only part of the reason.

Wanting to stand out is one thing, but the other thing is more important: to let everyone see the scene of Primeape evolving into Forsaken. Only in this way can the rules of the world fully recognize the existence of Forsaken and give it special protection.

This is a speculation by the experts in the group, and it is indeed correct, because Ash can see that the aptitude of the abandoned monkey is constantly changing. This is not a change that occurs directly after evolution, but rather a slow change that begins after the exclamations of surprise from the surroundings.

【Species: Abandoned Monkey】

[Gender: Male]

[Attributes: Fighting, Ghost]

[Level: Advanced Professional]

[Characteristics: Not admitting defeat]

[Skills: Fist of Fury, Cross Slash, Shadow Fist, Reverse Scale, Close Combat...]

[Six Dimensions: Physical Attack S (S), Special Attack C (C), Defense C (B), Special Defense C (B), HP B (A), Speed ​​S (S)]

In just ten seconds, all of the Abandoned Monkey's aptitudes increased by one level, and its speed and physical attack even reached the limit of its aptitudes, reaching S-level!
Before evolving, Abandoned Monkey was only at the peak of Elite. This evolution was an extremely terrifying leap, almost reaching a major level. However, Abandoned Monkey's stats did not exhibit the same instability as those of Infernape.

Infernape's evolution also spanned three levels, but it couldn't even unleash the power of its current level. In contrast, Outcast not only maintained a stable level, but its two most important stats also reached the peak of its current level.

On one hand, Primeape has been accumulating power for too long. Unlike Chimchar, which is forced to accumulate power, Primeape actively chooses to store its power in its body, just waiting to evolve and unleash it all at once!

On the other hand, there's the ethereal world blessing mentioned by the experts in the group. Since Abandoned Monkey is a Pokémon that appears in the world completely against the current world rules, there are two possible outcomes after it evolves.

One possibility is that it will be forced to evolve, causing the world to reject this Pokémon. This could even prevent the Abandoned Monkey from making any further progress in the future, and its own talent will be reduced because it has been abandoned by the world. At that time, it will no longer be the Abandoned Monkey, but the World-Abandoned Monkey, a monkey abandoned by the world.

Another possibility is that their evolution has been recognized by the world, and because they are a completely new species, their talents can reach a whole new level, and their future upgrade speed will be even faster.

The two outcomes are like heaven and hell, respectively. The experts in the group gave a way to reliably reach heaven: let Primeape evolve under the watchful eyes of countless people and on a stage that everyone is watching, thus rewriting everyone's perception that Primeape cannot evolve!

In this way, we can basically guarantee that we will gain global recognition and soar to new heights!
