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

Chapter 16 The Legend of the Rainbow Warrior, Ash Ketchum, the Future Legendary Trainer!
Ash and Misty conducted several more experiments and finally confirmed that the Rainbow Wing is indeed selective, only recognizing Ash and his Pokémon.

Whether it's Ash or Pikachu holding the Rainbow Wing, the Rainbow Wing's color is always the same bright.

But when Xiaoxia held the Rainbow Feather, its color instantly dimmed.

There are two reasons why this might happen. One is that Rainbow Feather only rejects Xiaoxia, but Xiaoxia says that this is absolutely impossible. She considers herself kind-hearted and calls herself a super invincible beauty, so why would Rainbow Feather reject her?
The only possible reason is the second one: the Rainbow Wing only recognizes Ash and his Pokémon. Anyone else who comes into contact with the Rainbow Wing will turn into the dim form we just saw.

Xiaoxia originally wanted to conduct an experiment with her Pokémon, but she discovered that none of the three Pokémon she had were handy, while Ash only had Pikachu in his hand. Therefore, this second hypothesis could not be verified.

Regardless, it's a fact that Rainbow Wing only recognizes Ash, which reminds Misty of a legend.

"The Legend of the Rainbow Hero?"

"Pickup pickup?"

Looking at the expressions of the human and the mouse, Xiaoxia nodded seriously: "That's right. According to legend, Ho-Oh will choose trainers with pure hearts and great potential as the Rainbow Heroes."

"She will give one of her tokens to the hero, and then after the hero grows up, he will use the token to find and challenge Him. As long as he can defeat Him, Ho-Oh will willingly become the hero's spirit. This is the legend of the Rainbow Hero."

"Eh~~~~" Ash and Pikachu's eyes sparkled brightly, clearly the legend Misty told them had aroused their great interest.

"So, after we become stronger, this feather will guide us to find Ho-Oh and allow us to challenge her, right?"

"I don't know, it's just a legend after all... By the way, Ash, why did you use 'she' to describe Ho-Oh? That's a god! A god! You should use 'He', you know?"

"...Oh, I see." Ash paused for a moment, then finally agreed with a hint of helplessness.

In reality, Ho-Oh is female, and there's no reason for its Eye of Insight to be wrong. But it can't tell Misty that, so it has no choice but to go along with Misty for now.

"Let's go to Viridian City. I've had some really good luck today. I met another reliable partner, saw Ho-Oh, and now I've even gotten the Rainbow Wing. Hehe, all of this really foreshadows my future as a Pokémon Master. Don't you think so, Pikachu?"

"Pikachu~" You're right~
Pikachu helplessly shrugged and replied, then tugged at Ash's hair, signaling Ash to hurry up and leave, as he was hungry.

"Hungry? I have some quick snacks here, would you like some?"

"You don't like it? You want tomato flavor? Hey, you're being picky!"

"..."

Ash and Pikachu were playing around in front of them, while Misty watched the two figures from behind, a thoughtful look in her emerald eyes.

Although we've only known each other for less than half a day, the amazing things Ash has shown far exceed human comprehension.

Whether it's battling a flock of Spearow barehanded, running as fast as a car, or now encountering Ho-Oh and seemingly becoming the Rainbow Hero, all of this proves Ash's extraordinary abilities.

Although Ash sometimes acts clueless, it doesn't diminish his immense potential. From the perspective of an inexperienced Gym Leader, Misty is certain that Ash will have a place among the future Champions. Even... becoming a Trainer at the level of Leon isn't impossible.

Even Leon probably never encountered a legendary Pokémon that only comes along once every few centuries when he first started his travels.

"Well... no matter what, I've benefited from him. Without him, I might never have met Ho-Oh in my life. Traveling with him might be the best decision I've ever made," Misty murmured softly, then quickly caught up with Ash.

……

At 2 a.m. that night, Ash and Misty arrived in Viridian City, which had become a dark city with only a few streetlights illuminating the streets.

They were supposed to rest for one night before heading to Viridian City, but Ash seemed to be too excited, so he rushed to Viridian City overnight.

The streets were deserted in the middle of the night, and Ash and Misty arrived at the Pokémon Center in Viridian City without any hindrance.

Nurse Joy at the Pokémon Center was already asleep, and only Chansey was keeping watch at the front desk.

Generally speaking, there is only one Nurse Joy at a Pokémon Center, so the night watch has to be done in shifts with the Pokémon, otherwise even someone with an iron body couldn't keep up.

The drowsy Chansey woke up instantly upon hearing the noise. Upon seeing Ash and the others, she immediately came forward, bowed respectfully, and whispered something like "lucky, lucky."

"Hello, do you have any rooms available? I'm a trainer who just started my journey, and this is my identification." Ash said, showing his Pokédex to Chansey.

The Pokédex indicates the trainer's departure time and identification information. With the Pokédex, you don't even need to carry your ID card when you're out and about, making it a very convenient item.

However, only a very small number of new trainers can possess such items.

Another rule is that the league stipulates that trainers who embark on a journey within one year can stay and eat for free at the Pokémon Center. This is also a subsidy for new trainers to encourage more young people to become trainers.

This subsidy is not a small expense for the league, but considering the continuous stream of talented trainers emerging every year, it is well worth it.

"Lucky, lucky~" Chansey looked carefully at the Pokédex that Ash had taken out, then nodded and smiled, making a gesture of invitation. She was telling Ash that there were more rooms inside.

"Oh right, this is my friend Xia, who's traveling with me. She should also be able to enjoy free accommodation, right?" Xiaozhi asked, pointing to Xia.

"Lucky~~" Chansey kept waving its fingers, as if trying to express something. If it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn't understand what Chansey was saying, but Ash has the power of Aura, so understanding what Pokémon say is a piece of cake for him.

"As long as we stay in the same room, it'll be fine. There are two bunk beds in the room... I understand, thank you Chansey." Ash waved his hand and thanked Chansey.

It has to be said that the Eye of Insight skill is really useful. If he didn't have Eye of Insight, he would probably be using the Pokédex to figure out what Chansey's name is by now.

But with the Eye of Insight, at least things like names no longer need to be detected using the Pokédex.
