Crimson clearly recognized the power of Tokiwa.

After all, he had a seasoned user of Tokiwa Power by his side—Tokiwa Lilac, the girl whose nickname was Xiao Huang.

That girl is the "favorite daughter" of Viridian Forest. In terms of strength alone, Little Yellow is probably stronger than Giovanni!

When she first embarked on her journey, she had never received any battle training. She was completely clueless about battles and started from scratch. Her companions were all just a group of ordinary Pokémon from the forest.

Even so, she still managed to escape danger and create incredible miracles time and time again, eventually even getting involved in the battles of a group of champions, kings and gym leaders.

He was later given a Pokédex by Professor Oak and was called a healer.

However, Tokiwa Lilac has a gentle and mild-mannered personality and doesn't like to show off, so she has never publicly revealed her abilities. As a result, very few people in this world know about this girl's special abilities.

However, Chen Mu naturally knew this.

So he knew he couldn't hide it from Crimson, so he simply shrugged generously and admitted, "It's okay. I can sense that once this crisis is resolved, this forest should accept me."

Chi Hong nodded, offering her sincere blessings, and even a hint of envy as she said, "Then you are really lucky."

Chen Mu was slightly surprised. "Crimson, are you also interested in the power of Everlasting?"

He originally thought that Crimson, who was already standing atop Silver Mountain, would probably no longer be obsessed with supernatural powers.

To be honest, the super-newcomer's physique is in no way inferior to any supernatural ability!

Everyone knows that Ash is the legendary tank who can withstand 100,000 volts and Flamethrower with his bare body, but they don't know that Red also experienced being frozen twice, drowning twice, being petrified once, and falling off cliffs countless times before he came of age!

After all, he's a hot-blooded big guy (just kidding) who can move even Giovanni with his fighting spirit, and a fighter handpicked by Professor Oak.

Chen Mu originally thought that a pure strongman like him should not care about other abilities.

Unexpectedly, Crimson laughed heartily upon hearing this and said frankly, "Of course, who wouldn't be envious of extraordinary abilities?"

The closer you get to the top, the more you realize how much of an advantage those with extraordinary talent and divine favor have.

Once you reach the summit, everyone's efforts and talents are exceptional, and every step forward becomes extremely difficult.

But some extraordinary abilities are just so unreasonable; even I can't help but envy them.

Crimson frankly admitted his envy, yet he didn't appear to have lost his composure in the slightest.

It only makes people feel his straightforwardness, purity, and strength even more!

After all, everyone knows that although Chi Hong says that every step is extremely difficult, he has actually reached a height that everyone can only dream of!

Before Leonti of Galar appeared, he was recognized worldwide as the strongest trainer of this century! He might even be the strongest Pokémon trainer in modern times!

At this point, Chi Hong seemed to suddenly remember something and laughed to herself. After laughing, she explained to Chen Mu.

"By the way, once you have extraordinary abilities, you must develop them properly. Don't waste them, or some people will become insanely jealous."

For example, Gosho from the Sinnoh League, despite being one of Sinnoh's Elite Four, is one of the few psychic-type experts in the world who doesn't possess psychic powers. Because of this, he always looks resentful during regional exchanges.

(Wu Song)

Chen Mu laughed upon hearing this, "Isn't Wusong always full of resentment because he's constantly being made to work overtime by his own champion?"

Chi Hong turned his head in surprise, then burst into hearty laughter again, and couldn't help but pat Chen Mu on the back with an expression that said, "You seem to know a lot, kid."

"That's right, that's right! I knew I wasn't wrong, you really are an interesting soul! You must have seen that world-famous painting, right? 'Teacher Wusong is working overtime'."

"So the picture shows Miss Zhulan on a beach vacation?"

"Haha, that's right. In that painting, Cynthia is agonizing over the color of the surfboard again, suffering from decision paralysis. So, where is the missing Shojin?"

"Wusong is working overtime!"

"Yes! Hahahaha!"

The two of them burst into laughter, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The people around them all turned their heads, looking at the two of them with puzzled expressions, not understanding why they were so close after only meeting.

Is this what they call being kindred spirits and wishing we'd met sooner?

Ralts tilted her head in confusion, not quite understanding why her human was grinning like that, but then the bright red Pikachu came over, took her hand, and led her to the front of the line.

Pikachu, Pikachu—forget about those two kindred spirits, I'm here to teach you some awesome skills~

Pikachu had just witnessed the battle in the forest from the air, and he seemed to admire Ralts' performance. So, he took the initiative to share his battle tips.

Ralts was completely bewildered, unaware that she had been lucky enough to be showered with a luxurious gift!

As everyone knows, the red Pikachu is a true all-around Pokémon, capable of almost anything, from flying to surfing.

Meanwhile, as they laughed and grew closer together, Chen Mu also gained a lot of genuine insights into extraordinary abilities from Crimson, one of the world's top trainers.

The five extraordinary human powers seem to be even rarer and more enviable than he had imagined!

The value of my recent gacha pull is still increasing!

Afterwards, he humbly asked Crimson for some advice on ability development.

According to Crimson, supernatural power does not grant one all divine abilities upon acquisition.

Acquiring the capability is important, but continued development afterward is equally important.

Different levels of development can create a huge gap in strength between ability users!

He explained, "Take the power of Viridian as an example. A beginner Pokémon can only have some basic healing and affinity abilities, which can help them gain the favor of unfamiliar Pokémon more quickly and roughly heal their injuries. But frankly, these two aspects are not as good as the healing power inherited by the Nurse Joy family."

However, once the power is developed to the mid-to-late stages, the power of Everlasting will undergo a qualitative change!

You will gain the ability to communicate with Pokémon, maximizing their potential, actively catalyzing and activating their growth potential, and even allowing you to make unconscious Pokémon continue fighting despite their injuries until you yourself are exhausted.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu couldn't help but gasp.

Does this mean that trainers can provide "battle continuation" for Pokémon from outside the arena?

That's incredibly powerful!

His next thought was: So you were actually able to defeat Sakaki, who had the ability to continue fighting outside the arena, in an unlimited duel back then!

Crimson, and you still say you don't know martial arts?

(P.S.: Red was originally the default name for the main character in the first generation of Pokémon games, specifically the Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green versions. Back then, if you were too lazy to name your main character yourself, the game gave you three default names to choose from, and the first one was Red.)

Later, in the second generation of the game, specifically the Gold and Silver versions, this name was officially adopted. This was because at the end of the Gold and Silver games, the player-controlled character would travel to Mt. Silver to challenge the original champion, and the original champion, who was then an NPC, was named Red.

This is the earliest origin of the name "Crimson".

Later, a Pokémon manga special was released (the earliest special was a fan-made work, but it was later officially adopted). The protagonist in the special also retained the name Red. At the same time, because the plot of the first generation special manga was very similar to the game plot, Red officially became the incarnation of the player's protagonist.

Due to some translation issues, in some parts of the manga, Red is also translated as Ash. However, nowadays, people generally agree that these are two completely different and independent characters. Red is more like Ash's senior. Although they both come from Pallet Town, their personalities and experiences are very different.

Later, Red and his best friend Blue even made cameo appearances in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 games.

In addition, the official team released a short anime called "Pokémon Generations" in 2017, which is also a story about red. I recommend that interested friends check it out. It's definitely better than the Journey series!

Finally, I want to say: In every version of the story, Red's character is portrayed as passionate, powerful, slightly goofy but with unwavering determination. He constantly tells everyone he wants to collect the entire Pokédex, yet he's never been criticized. So, Shoji Yonemura, shouldn't you reflect on why the overwhelming criticism of Gouji from the Traveler's Journey series is actually his fault?
