Pokémon: Simultaneous time travel, this Ash is too versatile

Chapter 12 The Eye of Insight: There are no useless Pokémon, only useless trainers.

[First time defeating the Spirit Rattata, reward: 1 lottery draw chance]

[Invite a partner to join your team for the first time and receive 1 free draw chance]

There were two messages in the notification bar, each marked with a time. One was from when Ash first commanded Pikachu to defeat Rattata, and the other was from when Misty agreed to let him join the team.

"First time... It seems like you can get a chance to win a prize for doing many things for the first time. I just don't know what other first times can get you a chance to win a prize. I'll ask the experts in the group when I have time." Xiao Zhi muttered to himself, mentally opening the wheel to start the lottery.

This time, the roulette wheel is a little different from before; it now has an option to spin twice.

To be fair, this lottery is quite intelligent; you can even draw two times in a row.

Without hesitation, Ash clicked the button for a double draw, and a second pointer appeared on the wheel, both of which began to spin wildly.

"stop."

The pointer on the turntable slowed down and then stopped completely after a few seconds.

One of the pointers was pointing to a very narrow area—the Class A area.

Another pointer is hovering over a wider area—the C-level area.

Two consecutive draws, one A and one C. The odds of that are so low that even Xiao Zhi, who is unlucky with bad luck, would probably be in tears!

He did hundreds of draws, but didn't get a single B-rank item. Ash, on the other hand, got an S-rank, an A-rank, and a C-rank item in just three draws.

Even if Ash is incredibly dense, he can tell that his luck on this roulette wheel seems to be unbeatable.

Congratulations on drawing an A-level ability: Eye of Insight (A)

Congratulations on drawing a C-level ability: Speed ​​Limit Increase (C)

Unlike the first Aura Power, this time the lottery didn't go into much detail. It only hinted at what kind of ability he had drawn, but Ash had no idea what the ability was for or how to use it.

Unlike the power of waveguides, there were no instructions or light points in his mind. So how do you use this thing?

Asking questions when you don't understand is a fine virtue of Xiao Zhi, so he directly opened the chat group and went to ask the experts in the chat group.

[Newbie Ash: Hey everyone, I pulled Insight (A) and Speed ​​Limit (C). Who are these two pro players who got these abilities?]

[Non-European Xiao Zhi: Dude! How many times did you draw?! You got an A-rank ability again?! Did you draw a hundred times in one go?!]

[Newbie Ash: No, I only tried twice.]

[Non-European Xiao Zhi: ...] Damn it, WSM!!

Everyone else gets an A-rank in just two pulls, but I haven't even gotten a C in ten pulls! Is this probability fair?! Is it fair?! Is there some kind of rigged system?! Who created this lousy chat group?! I'm going to kill them!!

In his own world, the unlucky Xiao Zhi roared in helpless rage. If he could leave the group, he probably would have left and become a recluse.

[Breeder Ash: Your luck is incredible! Is this the special good fortune of a newbie?]

[Aura Warrior Ash: You know what, we're all considered veterans once we joined the group. It seems like the only real newbie is "me," so all the good luck from the newbies is concentrated on "me," right?]

[Champion Ash: That makes sense, but actually, apart from A-rank and above abilities, the other lottery abilities aren't really useful to us. But I have to say, the newbie is incredibly lucky! Even that C-rank ability is the most useful among C-rank abilities.]

[Newbie Ash: So what exactly did I get?]

[Ash the breeder: That A-rank ability is mine. As a top breeder, I've developed unparalleled eyes. I can see all the data about any Pokémon with just one glance, and I can even see what moves it has.]

[Ash the Breeder: It's just that the ability you gained is only A-rank, so that probably doesn't represent all of my abilities. I don't know what level an A-rank ability can perform, but at least I can see the potential ceiling of a Pokémon's stats.]

[Newbie Ash: What is the stat cap?]

[Breeder Ash: Pokémon have different strength levels, but even within the same level, their stats vary. I've divided their stats into S to E levels, based on the lottery system in the chat group.]

[Ash the breeder: For example, both are Champion-level Pikachu, but one has an A-rank speed stat and the other has an S-rank speed stat. The latter will be much faster than the former in terms of normal speed!]

[Ash the Breeder: Generally speaking, a Pokémon's level can be increased through daily training, breeding, and battle experience. The speed varies, but as long as you put in the effort and dedication to your Pokémon, they will eventually blossom and reach the top rank of Champion.]

[Ash the breeder: But stats are different. The upper limit of stats is generally fixed. Some Pokémon may reach Champion level, but their stats will only reach E-rank within the same level. This is what outsiders refer to as a Pokémon's potential.]

Ash was a little dizzy from hearing this, but somehow he understood what the breeder Ash meant.

In general, the power level cap for all Pokémon is almost the same. If Champion level is the highest level in the world, then all Pokémon can stand at Champion level—theoretically speaking.

Instead, each Pokémon at the same level has a different maximum stat limit, which is limited by its potential.

Some Pokémon are born with great strength, and their maximum strength stat is A. Most Pokémon have a maximum strength stat of B or even C, and they cannot reach A.

According to Ash's explanation, at the same level, a difference of one level in ability value can already create a significant gap.

[Breeder Ash: But nothing is absolute. Nature is full of amazing things, and Pokémon themselves have limitless potential. My Eye of Insight has seen more than once that some Pokémon whose aptitude is only C-rank, yet their stats have somehow managed to break through to B-rank.]

[Ash the breeder: Moreover, in most cases, these Pokémon that break through their limits have a trainer who provides them with meticulous care and treats them like their own child. This is a miracle created by the trainer and the Pokémon together!]

An elf's potential has an upper limit, but the elf itself represents infinite potential. Under the miraculous power of bonds, the mere upper limit will be broken by the elf for you!

This is what they mean by "there are no useless Pokémon, only useless trainers!"
