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

Chapter 68 A top-tier Charmander with S-class aptitude, a scumbag trainer, Ash's furious punch!
Because the Aura Force had spread so far and covered so many Pokémon, Ash didn't notice it at first.

Now that Ash has focused his Aura power in one direction, he has finally discovered the Pokémon with the weak Aura.

Judging from the weakness of that waveguide, the opponent is not far from losing the ability to fight, that is, losing consciousness.

That's why Ash exclaimed in surprise.

Ash's body started moving the moment he shouted.

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia had no choice but to follow. After running alongside Xiaozhi for about a minute, Xiaozhi stopped, and they saw the Pokémon with the weak Aura that Xiaozhi had mentioned.

With its sharp claws, orange-red body, and tail burning with small flames, this is Charmander, one of the three starter Pokémon in Kanto!

"A... a little fire dragon?!"

A surprised sound came from Xiaoxia's mouth.

What incredible luck! First, I encountered a Bulbasaur, and now I've run into a Charmander?!
So Ash has encountered all three starter Pokémon in the wild?!
The starter Pokémon aren't like Pikachu, which you can find anywhere. While they are specially bred in the League and aren't considered particularly rare, they are extremely rare outside of the League!
And it's only been a few days? I've already encountered another one! That's just too ridiculous!

For a moment, Xiaogang and Xiaoxia looked at Xiaozhi with increasingly strange eyes. Could this guy be the legendary king of bad luck?

Ash didn't notice Brock and Misty's expressions; his face was also filled with surprise and delight when he saw Charmander.

During the waveguide's detection, he had already guessed from the general appearance of this Pokémon that it might be Charmander, but he only truly confirmed it after actually seeing it in person.

I never expected him to be so lucky. First he encountered Bulbasaur, and then he encountered Charmander. Could it be that his previous S-rank ability is still putting its last bit of power to use?
【Type: Charmander】

[Gender: Male]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Level: Peak Novice]

[Characteristic: Fierce Fire]

[Skills: Tackle, Roar, Sparks, Smoke Screen, Terrifying Face, Flame Leap, Belly Drum.]

[Six Stats: Physical Attack D (S), Special Attack D (S), Defense E (A), Special Defense E (A), HP E (A), Speed ​​D (S)]

Ash: !!!
This one is even more heavyweight than Bulbasaur, with a 3S rating and so many skills at the peak of beginner level, it is definitely the best of the best!

This little Charmander's aptitude is second only to his Ralts. Ralts is only encountered because of that one-time S-rank ability, so what's the deal with this little Charmander?

Could it be that his S-class ability from that time is still putting its lingering effects to use? Or is it just that he was simply lucky?

Speaking of which, he has encountered a lot of lucky things since his debut. Whether it's winning a lottery in a group or encountering a Pokémon in the wild, he is the luckiest of the lucky.

Someone in the group will probably shed tears of hatred after seeing this, wishing they could tear him apart...

"Why would a little fire dragon appear in this place?" Xiao Gang looked around, which could only be described as desolate. It just didn't seem right to have a little fire dragon lying obediently on a rock in such a place.

"Who cares, I'm going to catch him!" Ash stared at Charmander with burning eyes, but the flame in his eyes was quickly extinguished.

He was briefly blinded by Charmander's talent, but he quickly came to his senses. Charmander is now very weak, and it would be difficult for him to even walk, let alone fight.

He longed to capture the little dragon, but he couldn't fight it without considering its physical condition. What difference would that make from the Rockets' blatant theft?
"Let's talk about catching them later. Brock, get me some general Pokémon food."

Xiao Gang paused for a moment, then a look of relief appeared on his face. He took out a bag of general Pokémon food from his backpack and handed it to Xiao Zhi.

Ash took the food, then took out a small bowl from his backpack and gently placed it in front of Charmander. Charmander looked up at Ash, its face showing weakness.

When Ash poured the Pokémon food into the bowl and then gently pushed the bowl toward Charmander, Charmander's fierce gaze, which it had been maintaining, vanished instantly, replaced by a strange expression.

"Eat up, you won't be so weak if you eat your fill. When you're better, you have to battle me, okay? A battle with the goal of catching it!" Ash tried to pat Charmander's head, but Charmander dodged him.

It's clear that Charmander is still wary of Ash.

However, weakened, he couldn't resist the temptation of food and soon began to devour the rations in front of him.

In no time at all, they finished the whole bowl of elf food.

“It seems he’s really hungry, but there’s something strange. If it were a wild Pokémon, it would find food on its own when it’s hungry. Why is this little Charmander just lying on this rock?” Brock said thoughtfully, rubbing his smooth chin.

"You're probably too tired to find food... Charmander, should we take you to the Pokémon Center to recover first? Don't worry, I will never take advantage of your weakness to capture you. If I were to capture you, I would do so honorably in a battle!"

"Li~Lili~" The little dragon shook its head and made a sound.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi's face froze instantly, and then he wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

"What's wrong, Ash? What did Charmander say?" Misty asked curiously.

He said he already has a trainer and is just here to wait for his trainer to return.

Xiao Gang's face lit up with realization. No wonder Charmander was unwilling to leave the rock; it seemed his trainer had made him wait for him there.

The little fire dragon obediently stayed there, even though it was so hungry that its back was sticking to its body and the flames behind it were almost extinguished, it still chose to wait there.

"Since there are trainers involved, there's nothing we can do. There's really no such thing as a free lunch," Xiaoxia said, shrugging with a regretful expression.

It seems Ash's luck has run out. Although he encountered Charmander in the wild, unfortunately it already has an owner.

"Yeah, there's nothing we can do if there's a trainer. Brock, take another bag of food and put it here for Charmander. If his trainer hasn't come back yet, it can fill his stomach."

"Hmm." A serving of Pokémon food doesn't cost much, so it's good to leave it here for Charmander in case of emergency.

I just don't know what's wrong with his trainer. Judging from Charmander's behavior, he's been waiting for quite a while. Did that guy fall into a latrine or fall off a cliff? He hasn't come back for so long.

In the end, Ash left a portion of Pokémon food in front of Charmander and said goodbye to Charmander with a touch of nonchalance.

But no one knew that his heart was actually bleeding; this was a level 3S fire dragon!

As a veteran in the group once said, an S-rank Pokémon is one in a million, and a triple S-rank Pokémon already meets the basic requirements for advancing to the Divine Realm. Among ordinary Pokémon, a Pokémon with this kind of potential is beyond just being "rarely seen."

So even Ash was momentarily overwhelmed at first, but he was able to come to his senses in less than a second because of his heartfelt love for Pokémon.

If others knew that Charmander had such potential, they would stop at nothing and go to great lengths to subdue it, even if it was on the verge of death, let alone its current weakened state.

Even if he is someone else's spirit, he will attract countless eyes and attempts to steal him.

This is the kind of treatment that might result from having a three-S aptitude spirit.

Even Ash was heartbroken when he learned that Charmander had a trainer. This might be the only Charmander in the world with three S-rank aptitudes. It would be a lie to say that his heart wasn't bleeding.

But what can be done? This Charmander already has a trainer. Unless his trainer goes crazy and abandons the Charmander, Ash has absolutely no chance.

But how could there be such a person in the world? Putting aside Charmander's aptitude, given its rarity and potential for growth, it's impossible for it to be abandoned.

As the three left Charmander and walked on the normal road, the sky suddenly darkened, a torrential downpour began, and the whole world was shrouded in a hazy curtain of water.

Faced with the torrential rain, the three quickly followed the normal road and arrived at the Pokémon Center not far ahead.

Fortunately, they were not far from the Pokémon Center at the time, so they didn't get too wet in the rain.

However, all three of them were still a bit wet, including Ralts and Pikachu.

Ash borrowed three towels from Nurse Joy, gave one to Brock and Misty, and then used his own to wipe Pikachu and Ralts before using it to dry his own hair.

With his current physical condition, he wouldn't catch a cold even if he stood in the rain for a whole day and night; he would just feel a little uncomfortable with his hair wet.

Miss Joy also brought three cups of hot ginger tea for Ash and the others. Brock praised Miss Joy's service and enthusiastically asked for her email address, which was politely declined.

After the minor incident, they looked out the window at the rain, drank ginger tea, and quietly enjoyed the tranquil environment.

Actually, the situation was quite pleasant, but all three of them had a hint of unease on their faces.

"I wonder if Charmander has met his trainer yet," Misty suddenly said.

"We should have waited for it by now, right? After all, so much time has passed." Xiao Zhi said this, but the unease on his face showed that he didn't really think so.

Since that guy left Charmander there starving, it means he's been gone for quite some time. It's only been about an hour since they left Charmander. Can that guy really just happen to go back and pick up Charmander?
At this moment, Ash really hoped that his guess and premonition were wrong. If Charmander really didn't wait for its trainer and was still stubbornly waiting on that rock instead of taking shelter from the rain, then this rainy day would definitely be a fatal blow to Charmander!
His body was still weak, and since he was only at the beginner level, he was terrified of water.

If he were to stubbornly wait there in the rain, it might even lead to his death.

Just then, an annoying and arrogant voice rang out.

"See these? These are all the Pokémon I've caught! Pretty impressive, right?"

"Dayou is amazing!"

"There must be more than a dozen Pokémon! Brother Dayou has caught so many Pokémon!"

Ash and his friends were drawn to the sound, and then they saw a trendy-looking person with more than a dozen Poké Balls on the table.

Generally speaking, a person can carry a maximum of six Pokémon. Any extra Pokémon will be directly teleported back to the location of the person who issued the Pokédex, or to a location set by the user, such as their own home.

Few people carry so many spirits with them, because it's simply impossible to take care of them all.

Six Pokémon is the maximum number of Pokémon that the League recommends you can bring, and the maximum number of Pokémon battles is also six against six.

Therefore, generally speaking, you shouldn't carry more than six Pokémon. Carrying more than six isn't against the rules, but it's not recommended.

Those arrogant words and the mountain of Poké Balls gave Ash and his friends a very bad initial impression of them.

But the other party was just a passerby, and they had neither the right nor the need to care what those people did.

However, what the other party said next immediately enraged Xiaozhi!

"By the way, Da You, you don't seem to have a Charmander, do you?"

"Charmander? I have one, but that Charmander is really useless. It can't even beat a Poliwag, so I just threw it into the mountains."

"But who knew, even after I threw him away four or five times, he still followed me. So I said, 'You wait here obediently for me, I'll be right back.' And he just stood there wagging his tail and watching me walk away. Hahaha, isn't that funny?"

"Son of a bitch!!"

As soon as the man named Dayou finished speaking, he felt himself being lifted up, and his underlings watched this scene in horror.

A boy who was just over 1.7 meters tall and looked thin with his arms and legs actually grabbed Da You's clothes with one hand and lifted him off the ground.

What kind of monstrous arm strength is this?!
Da You was also startled by the sudden tug. When he looked closely, he saw a boy wearing a hat with an elf he had never seen before on his shoulder.

Who is this guy? Did he offend him? Wait, he doesn't even know this guy!

Suppressing his anger at Dayou for punching him, Xiaozhi asked, "I found a Charmander waiting for its trainer on a rock in the nearby mountains. Was that your Charmander?!"

"So what if it's...it's mine?! What's it to you?!"

How long have you abandoned him?

"They've been locked up... for two days now..."

Daiyu originally wanted to give Xiaozhi a tough retort, but he instantly backed down under Xiaozhi's bright blue eyes.

This guy doesn't look like a normal person. Whether it's his strange strength or the way his eyes glow, he doesn't seem like someone to mess with. I'd better put up with him for now...

When Xiaozhi heard the other party say "two days", he finally couldn't help but let go of Daiyu and then punched him in the face.
