Pokémon: Simultaneous time travel, this Ash is too versatile

In Chapter 375, Lucario battles Kangaskhan, a high-stakes gamble for Ash!

Chapter 375: Senri vs. Ash, Lucario vs. Kangaskhan, Ash's high-stakes gamble!

Ash's fame is known even in Hoenn, a place far away; in fact, it's no exaggeration to say it's legendary.

After all, almost everything Ash did was historic. For ordinary trainers, Ash didn't have a high status, so after his fame exploded for a while, he was no longer noticed.

No matter how outrageous the things Ash does, he is essentially just a trainer without any title. If he is not a Champion, even if he defeats a Champion, he will eventually be forgotten.

Those who can see Ash's strength and remember his various actions are actually the trainers who are in high positions of power and have great strength in the eyes of ordinary people.

Because they are capable, they understand better what Ash's actions mean. To Chiri, Ash is already considered to be a trainer on the same level as him.

After arriving in Johto, Chiri had been wanting to find time to see Ash. The distance between Johto and Kanto wasn't far, and even crossing the two regions wouldn't take much time. Unfortunately, Ash seemed to be traveling all the time and didn't have a fixed place to stay. In addition, he was very busy because the Silver Conference had just started.

Therefore, the plan to visit Ash was ultimately abandoned. Unexpectedly, Ash took the initiative to come to her door, which surprised Chisato, yet also made sense.

All trainers who want to participate in the Silver Tournament must register in New Leaf Town. Only after registration are they eligible to participate in the Silver Tournament and collect badges.

Violet City is the closest city to Wakaba Town. If you want to collect badges nearby, you would definitely choose to come to Violet City. So Ash's arrival is reasonable, unless he takes a detour.

What surprised Chisato the most was that her son and daughter ended up with Satoshi. What a wonderful coincidence!

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Senri. I'm Ash from Pallet Town. Would it be convenient for you to have a gym battle now?" Even though May had already introduced him, Ash still introduced himself to Senri again, as it was basic courtesy.

After introducing himself, Ash made his request directly: a gym battle!

It seems that Qianli is still giving a lecture. If he doesn't have time right now, Xiaozhi plans to go to Bellsprout Tower to take a look. The meaning of travel, besides improving oneself and battling with all kinds of people, is also the scenery along the way.

As a landmark building in Kikyo City, the Bellflower Tower naturally has significance and value worth visiting.

Unexpectedly, after looking around, Qianli solemnly said to Xiaozhi, "Of course, no problem. I can start a gym battle right now. However, I have a request. I want these students to watch. Practical battles are the best way for students to learn. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"If I'm not mistaken, Ash, you should have a power that can defend the area around you, right? Could you please use that power during a battle?" Senri asked.

Although he was a temporary teacher at the school and didn't come to class often, only once or twice a week, he was absolutely dedicated to his duties as a teacher.

Ash possesses a device or some kind of power that prevents the aftershocks of battle explosions from spreading outside the arena, so even Elite Four level battles won't affect the spectators on the outside.

Qianli would certainly not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Being able to let the students see a showdown between two superstars up close would definitely be of great benefit to their future.

Ash nodded without hesitation: "No problem, Mr. Senri. I guarantee that the aftermath of the battle will not affect the students in the slightest."

"Yay! Great! We can watch the Pokémon battles up close!"

"Long live Teacher Qianli!!"

"This is fantastic! We can finally watch Senri-sensei's match! I've heard that Senri-sensei is incredibly strong!"

"Yeah, yeah! Senri-sensei teaches us so much better than any other teacher! A teacher who's so good at teaching people must be amazing too!"

"Does anyone know that older brother?"

"I don't know~"

"I don't know~"

'

'

The students were thrilled to be able to watch Pokémon battles up close. Back when Qianli joined the school, the principal and their original teacher, Sayuri, had said that Qianli was an extremely powerful trainer, one of the top trainers in the world.

The teaching that Chiri gave after joining the team made the students clearly feel that Chiri was different from other teachers. Her knowledge and her way of speaking were things that trainers who only talked about theory could not express.

So, not long after Qianli joined the company, many elementary school students were already captivated by him, becoming his little fans.

However, they had never seen Senri fight. Although many students asked to see Senri participate in a gym battle, Senri refused, saying that gym battles were too dangerous.

Once, when Senri battled a trainer who came to challenge him, he made them watch from a distance. The whole battle ended in less than a minute.

Forget about enjoying it; it was over before we even took our pants off.

So when they heard that they could watch the game up close this time, many students were extremely excited. At the same time, it was the first time they had heard Teacher Qianli give such a high evaluation to someone.

Ash Ketchum is hardly a well-known name among the students. Let alone Ash, even if the Elite Four and the Champion appeared in front of them, they might not recognize him.

Children are too young to know so many different kinds of celebrities; recognizing even a few elves is already considered a sign of intelligence.

So after hearing Qianli's high praise for Xiaozhi, many students were both expectant and somewhat skeptical. Was this older brother, who didn't look much older than them, really that amazing?

Whether they're that good or not, you'll know once you watch a match.

Led by their teacher, Sayuri, the group arrived at the school's combat training ground. Although it wasn't a big school, it still had two or three training grounds for combat. What kind of school would it be if it didn't even have combat training grounds?

The training ground was quite large, at least equivalent to the size of a normal dojo. A group of students stood at the edge of the ground, looking with great curiosity at the two people standing opposite each other in the center of the ground.

For them, this was the first time they had watched a Pokémon battle at such close range, and it wasn't just any roadside match, but a duel between the world's top trainers. For kids like them who aspire to become trainers, watching such a match up close would be incredibly rewarding.

"Dad! We have to win!!" Xiao Sheng shouted to his father, this match was of utmost importance.

This is not just a gym battle, but also a duel between top trainers from two regions. To say it's a battle for the honor of both regions would be an exaggeration, but it's not entirely irrelevant. The academy principal has already started recording the video, which means that this match will be circulated online after the battle.

For Xiaosheng, this match was a battle to defend his father's honor. If his father lost to Xiaozhi, it would be a huge loss of face!

Even the Hoenn region would be embarrassed, since the top trainer in the Hoenn region was defeated by a novice trainer in Kanto. Even if this novice trainer is extraordinary, that is not a reason for Qianli's defeat.

So no matter what, I think my father has to win this game!

"Then let's follow the gym rules and have a three-on-three battle."

"no problem!"

"So according to the gym rules, the gym leader must bring out their Pokémon first, and they are not allowed to change their Pokémon during the battle. My first Pokémon is this one!" Since there was no referee, Senri had to act as the referee and explain the rules of the match.

Ash has extensive experience in gym challenges, so normally it wouldn't matter whether he explained the rules or not. However, in keeping with his duty as a gym leader, Senri explained the rules again.

As Qianli threw the Poké Ball, a flash of light appeared on the field, followed by the appearance of a huge Pokémon that looked like a kangaroo but also had a dragon-like appearance.

The elf was grayish-brown all over, with grayish-yellow ears and belly. There were several protrusions on its shoulders and legs. Inside a pouch on its belly was a smaller version of the elf, but a different color, which was quietly lying on it, looking around curiously.

Kangaskhan, this is the first Pokémon in the Thousand Miles, and also a rather rare one.

This Pokémon is quite special. Although it's called one Pokémon, it's actually two. Inside the large pouch in front of Kangaskhan is a smaller Kangaskhan. Although the smaller Kangaskhan has no battle ability, if it is injured during a battle, Kangaskhan will unleash boundless power, which will surely defeat the Pokémon or player who injured the smaller Kangaskhan!

It's worth mentioning that Kangaskhan can undergo Mega Evolution, but it's not Kangaskhan itself that evolves into the smaller Kangaskhan in front of it. After Mega Evolution, the smaller Kangaskhan grows up and has the same combat power as Kangaskhan. Whatever move Kangaskhan uses, the smaller Kangaskhan will also use.

However, Kangaskhan only uses a quarter of the moves of Kangaskhan, but some fixed-damage moves are not weakened. In addition, moves with boosting or weakening effects will cause two weakening and two boosting effects. Overall, it is a very powerful MEGA evolution.

However, this kind of MEGA evolution has not yet been discovered, and Ash only learned about it in a chat group.

Qianli's Kangaskhan didn't carry a Mega Stone, but instead carried a Life Orb. The Life Orb can increase the damage of all skills by 30%, but the side effect is that each attack consumes more stamina. If it gets dragged into a prolonged battle, it will be doomed.

However, this item is quite suitable for a burst-damage Pokémon. In addition, this Kangaskhan's ability is Courage, and its attack power reaches A-rank, so it is probably a Kangaskhan that takes a pure violence route.

"If we're going to face Kangaskhan, then let's use him! I choose you, Lucario!!" Ash also took out his first Pokémon. As he threw the Poké Ball, a cool figure flashed onto the field—Aura Guide Lucario!

The moment the cool-looking dog appeared, it immediately drew gasps of amazement from the surrounding elementary school students. This kind of handsome Pokémon is simply the kind of thing children dream of—just kidding, even kids want one.

"Lucario, it's a very rare Pokémon. It usually inhabits the Sinnoh region, and a few of it also appear in the Hoenn region. It rarely appears in the Kanto region. Ash, you've got a really good chance!" Senri said with a sigh.

Given his understanding of Ash, how could he not know that Ash has Lucario? What he said was actually meant to educate children. This kind of explanation can penetrate deeper into children's minds and leave no trace in their brains.

"Mr. Senri, your Kangaskhan is just as rare. It's a Pokémon that's extremely rare even in the Kanto region. I never imagined it could become one of the mainstays of the Gym Leaders in the Hoenn region." Ash said, comparing the two sides' battle strength.

Lucario, a Fighting-type Pokémon, is super effective against Kangaskhan, and also has higher stats. However, Lucario is significantly lower in level.

Lucario is now at the peak of the gym, and all its stats have been trained to the limit. It's just a little bit away from becoming a Champion, but that tiny gap is something Lucario can't seem to cross.

The opponent's Kangaskhan was already an Elite Four level Pokémon, and it wasn't just a beginner Elite Four Pokémon; it had already reached the advanced Elite Four level.

The difference in their levels is enormous, but this difference can be easily overcome using waveguide fusion.

However, that would make sending Lucario into this battle pointless.

He, Ash, never plays when he has the upper hand!

Throughout his journey, he has either been fighting opponents of higher levels or on his way to fighting opponents of higher levels. Even when he used waveguide fusion, he was rarely able to keep up with his opponents. In most cases, he was a level below his opponents, or even several levels below them.

It is precisely because of this constant challenge of higher levels that his Pokémon and he have grown so quickly. It is nice to have a good time in a winning game, but it is in a losing game that you can truly test your skills and improve yourself!

Therefore, Ash did not plan to use Aura Fusion in this battle. Instead, he wanted Lucario to win the battle on its own. However, its current strength was definitely not enough to win, so it had to break through its limits and become a Champion!

This battle is also a high-stakes gamble for Ash and Lucario!
