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

Chapter 3: The Disobedient Pikachu, It's Time to Ask Yourself for Advice! Hidden Features in Chat Groups!
"Oh, Ash, you actually recognize this Pokémon!" Professor Oak looked surprised when he heard Ash say Pikachu's name.

Although he taught everyone in the town a lot of basic Pokémon knowledge and explained most of the Pokémon in the Kanto region, who is Ash?

Always at the bottom of the class! Has almost never put in the effort when it comes to knowledge!

It must be admitted that Ash's love and affection for Pokémon is unmatched by any of his peers, but when it comes to knowledge... it's rather pathetic.

Therefore, it is absolutely a rare thing that Ash can recognize Pikachu now.

Professor Oak's praise immediately made Ash smug. He puffed out his chest, his nose seemingly growing longer: "Of course! Pikachu! Of course I know it! It's definitely a very powerful Pokémon! With this Pokémon as my starter Pokémon, becoming the Champion in the future is a sure thing!"

Professor Oak looked at Ash like he was an idiot, hesitated for a long time, but still didn't tell Ash that Pikachu was a common Pokémon in the Kanto region.

It seems that although Ash knows Pikachu, he doesn't know much about it, otherwise why would he say something like that?

Upon hearing Ash's words, Pikachu, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but feel a little fondness for Ash, even though it didn't particularly like humans.

After all, there are very few people who consider Pikachu a powerful Pokémon...

"Alright, since you have no objections to Pikachu, let's take these and head out." Professor Oak said, handing Ash a Pokédex and several Poké Balls.

Ash casually put a few items in his pocket, then half-squatted in front of Pikachu, affectionately ruffled Pikachu's hair, and said, "Please take care of me from now on, Pikachu... Aaaaaah!!"

Before Ash could even enjoy the softness of Pikachu's fur, Pikachu's expression changed, and golden lightning crackled across its body.

"Pikachu!!"

The immense voltage was transmitted to Ash, causing his entire body to go numb, and his pajamas were charred black from the high-voltage shock.

It turned black from the high-voltage electric shock.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, this Pikachu has some personality issues. He's rather unruly, doesn't like going into his Poké Ball, and is very resistant to unfamiliar trainers. He's practically a problem student for me, but he's quite a good match for you," Professor Oak said belatedly after seeing Ash get an electric shock.

"Why...why didn't you say so earlier..." Xiao Zhi exhaled a breath of black smoke and collapsed to the ground.

If he hadn't been physically stronger than the average person, he probably would have ended up in the hospital after being shocked by the electric shock!
Despite a minor hiccup, Ash remained steadfast in his decision to choose Pikachu as his starter Pokémon.

It's definitely not because he had no other choice.

After giving Ash some instructions for his trip, Professor Oak went on to continue his research.

After Ash went outside, Professor Oak put down his research and went to the collection area to take out a painting. In the painting, a boy was commanding his Electric Mouse with great spirit, directly confronting the legendary Suicune.

...After coming outside, Ash said goodbye to the villagers who came to see him off. Hanako was among them. She handed Ash the space backpack that she had bought especially for his trip, which contained many daily necessities.

Immediately afterwards, Ash began to walk out of Pallet Town under Hanako's slightly worried yet blessing gaze. However, Ash wearing rubber gloves and dragging Pikachu along made this somewhat heavy farewell seem a little comical.

Before long, Ash had already left Pallet Town, and along the way he changed out of his charred pajamas.

He was wearing the red and white hat that the Elf League had given him after writing a thousand emails, a blue jacket, and light-colored jeans, and he looked quite like a young man.

After Ash painstakingly dragged Pikachu into the wild, he tried to communicate with Pikachu a few times, but Pikachu didn't want to talk to him at all.

Although Ash's words initially made Pikachu somewhat more favorable, it still couldn't dispel Pikachu's dislike of humans and its desire to be independent.

Left with no other option, Xiao Zhi opened the chat group in his mind and went to ask his 'seniors' for advice.

Ash: Hey everyone, I've finally gotten my starter Pokémon, but it seems a bit disobedient... Was your Pikachu like this when you first got it?

[Champion Ash: Pretty much. I also went through a lot of trouble before finally building a deep friendship with Pikachu.]

[Ash the Breeder: I'm different. Since I've wanted to be a breeder since I was little, I already had pretty good breeding skills when I set off on my journey. Then I made some Pokémon food and just won over Pikachu. So, newbie, become a breeder! The benefits are huge!]

[Aura Warrior Ash: Dude, you're trying to trick people into joining your line of work again. Forget about it. Most people would choose Pokémon battles more often. I don't know what you were thinking, going into breeding instead.]

[Ash the Breeder: What's wrong with breeding?! You can raise powerful Pokémon just the same! Don't let my position as a breeder in our world fool you; when it comes to Pokémon battles, very few can beat me!]

[Ash: Um... can we put the discussion about professions aside for now? So how do I catch Pikachu now? He ignores me when I talk to him, and after I give him food, he turns his back on me. It's so difficult!]

Xiao Zhi stopped the professional discussions that were gradually unfolding in the group and steered the conversation back on track.

That is, how can he successfully get Pikachu to obey?

[Champion Ash: Don't rush. Pikachu and I... that is, you, are deeply bound by fate. Soon, something will happen that will strengthen your bond with Pikachu. More importantly, I told you before that I would tell you about this chat group after you received your starter Pokémon, and I can tell you about it now.]

[Xiao Zhi: Um... Besides being able to chat with my counterparts from other worlds, does this group have any other functions?]

[Champion Xiaozhi: Yes, and it's a very useful feature for you. First, look at the upper right corner of the chat group page. Is there a light dot? Use your mind to click on it.]

Ash's words made Ash, who was in his mental form, turn his gaze to the upper right corner of the chat group.

Sure enough, just as Champion Ash had said, there was a point of light on it, and Ash pointed at it with his mind without hesitation...
