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

Chapter 241: Mastering Super Blaze, Instantly Destroying Gengar, Cynthia's Highest Praise.

The power generated by Super Blaze is undeniable, but the side effects also come with it, namely, the sanity of Blaze Monkey begins to be gradually consumed.

In the Aura fusion state, Ash and Infernape are in a state of one mind and body. Ash has control over Infernape's thoughts, ideas, and physical condition. Similarly, Ash is in the same state with Infernape.

But after Infernape unleashed its Mega Blaze, Ash sensed that Infernape's consciousness was so weak it was almost imperceptible. Only a violent will remained in its mind, and nothing else could be felt.

This may be the price of Superfire: power gained at the cost of reason.

'Infernape, don't lose to this power! This is your own power; you cannot let it devour you!'

Ash's shout echoed in Infernape's mind, causing Infernape's crimson eyes to tremble, and its movement, which was about to charge at Gengar, came to an abrupt halt.

'That's right, control it! This is your power, and it should be controlled by you. As long as you can control it, you will gain power no less than that bestowed by a god, so don't lose!'

'Shinji is definitely watching us from this area. Didn't you want to prove your power to him? Let's prove to him together just how strong your body's potential truly is!'

"Ho..." A hoarse sound came from Infernape's mouth.

Infernape's fists had been clenched tightly since its Infernape form, but now Infernape's hands began to slowly loosen.

Reason is gradually returning to Infernape's brain. If it weren't for the Aura Fusion, which prevented Ash's voice from reaching Infernape's mind, Infernape would have already gone berserk and wreaked havoc, using up all its power without restraint.

But now, hearing Ash's voice, Infernape's rationality gradually returned. He sensed Ash's worry and felt a pang of guilt; he had once again caused his trainer worry...

"Whoa!!!" The Fire Monkey, which had released its grip, clenched its fists together, roared to the sky, and the flames behind it burned even hotter and more intensely, with the towering flames almost reaching tens of meters into the sky.

In stark contrast to the explosive power, Infernape's crimson eyes had returned to their original state. He looked at Ash and gave him a thumbs-up.

"Well done, Infernape! It's our turn to counterattack!!" Ash happily clenched his fist and waved it to encourage Infernape.

At this moment, Sundae seemed to wake up from a dream and said, "Your Infernape's Blaze is really terrifying. It doesn't look like it only has a 50% increase in the power of Fire-type moves... But it is only at the peak of advanced stage. It is still a bit lacking to fight against a professional-level Gengar."

When Infernape lost its mind, that was actually the best time for her to attack. Sundae isn't the kind of person who wouldn't seize an opportunity; she's someone who values ​​fairness.

The inability to control one's power is the fault of the opposing trainer and Pokémon. Isn't it only natural to seize such an opportunity?

But she had just been controlled by Infernape's Super Blaze for dozens of seconds. It was the first time she had ever encountered such a level of Blaze, so she was stunned on the spot.

So she missed the best opportunity to defeat Infernape, and little did she know that it was her only chance to defeat Infernape...

"How will we know if we don't try? Infernape, Fire Punch!!" Ash shouted with a smile as he gave the command to Infernape. He was just as excited as Infernape.

Just how powerful is this super-fiery blast? Today is the perfect opportunity to test it!
"Ho-choo!!" Infernape's clenched fist suddenly burst into flames, and then it stomped its feet on the ground, its entire figure bursting out like an arrow released from a bow!

All that could be seen on the field was a blur trailing brilliant flames as Infernape appeared in front of Gengar, which was floating in mid-air.

Gengar's sly smile, which had been flashing with its white teeth, suddenly froze. That was incredibly fast!

"boom!!"

Before Gengar could react, Infernape's fist slammed down like a meteor!
A deafening roar echoed in mid-air, and the dark purple figure plummeted from the smoke like a meteorite, crashing heavily onto the ground and creating spiderweb-like cracks.

"Press your advantage and unleash your flames!!"

Upon receiving the command, the Fire Monkey in the air opened its mouth and inhaled a mouthful of black mist. Then, scorching flames erupted in the smoke. The flames were not like jet flames at all; they were more like an explosive combustion!
The skill, comparable to a powerful fire-type move, struck Gengar directly on the ground. The moment the blazing flames hit the ground, a blinding orange-red wave of fire exploded, and the flames spread like wildly growing vines along the cracks in the spiderweb, scorching the ground within half a meter around it.

Gengar was completely engulfed in flames, which spread across the field, causing the temperature to rise steadily. The surrounding spectators even felt the temperature of a hot summer day in this winter, and many people took off their coats.

Shinji remained in that position, staring intently at the situation on the field, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

It wasn't just a level increase; the Super Blaze that he had been unable to unleash before was instantly activated in Ash's hands. This was only Ash's first battle with Infernape, and he was able to unleash that power so easily?

Perhaps... it really wasn't the little Chimchar acting out his role, but rather that he and the little Chimchar were simply incompatible, and his training methods weren't suitable for the little Chimchar.

Moreover, when Chimchar unleashed its Mega Flame, it was clearly out of its mind. Now, it has lost its mind again for the second time. However, Ash did something that made Chimchar regain its lost rationality.

This is something only Ash could do. If it were him, even if he didn't want to admit it, he probably would have had to rely on brute force to suppress his opponent during the previous bursts of fire. The only way for him to control that flame was to have Chimchar continuously use it; there was no other method.

As for how Ash did it... it must be related to the special power within him, a power that not everyone can possess.

On the field, the flames gradually subsided, and Infernape landed steadily on the ground, its eyes fixed on the center. Two more bursts of flame erupted in succession; it was unclear whether they could defeat Gengar.

The punch and the breath attack just now had almost exhausted all the power in his body. He had just evolved, and his strength had been forcibly boosted. In addition, he was on the verge of exhaustion in the Fierce Fire state. Finally, using the power of Super Fierce Fire would consume his stamina even faster.

It's safe to say the debuffs are maxed out!
If Gengar doesn't fall down soon, then he's out of options. With his current stamina, he probably won't even be able to use Ember, let alone Flamethrower.

As the smoke dissipated, Gengar stuck out its tongue and lay motionless on the field, its entire body spread out in a starfish shape.

After a moment, the referee announced, "Gengar is unable to battle, Infernape wins!"

Won!

He won against a beginner professional player even though he had just reached the peak of the advanced level! And this was only after he had just been promoted to the peak of the advanced level. His abilities in various aspects could not actually be considered peak of the advanced level. He still won under these circumstances. This was all thanks to Super Fire!
"A super comeback!!! Infernape, which was just retreating, suddenly turned the tables and annihilated Gengar. Is this Infernape's true strength?" The host's voice rang out, praising Infernape to the skies.

Even with his extensive knowledge, he couldn't determine what had just happened. The power that Infernape unleashed at the end seemed to be blazing fire, but blazing fire can only amplify fire-type moves. Even if it amplified fire-type moves by 50%, it wouldn't be possible for Infernape's power to increase to that extent in a short period of time.

So the host really didn't know what had just happened. Was it Infernape's true strength, or the power it unleashed after unleashing its blazing fire?

Regardless of which one it is, Infernape has won now, so it's always good to rave about it. A Pokémon at its peak advanced level defeated a professional-level Pokémon in just two moves, isn't that amazing?

In the special audience section, Leon stroked his beard, a look of great interest on his face: "Interesting. Was that Infernape's Blaze just now? That Blaze was much stronger than the normal Blaze!"

Cynthia nodded: "Yes, before Blaze, Infernape's power is inferior to Gengar in every aspect, but after Blaze, Infernape has completely surpassed Gengar in terms of attack power. Conservatively speaking, Blaze's boost to Fire-type moves is at least 120 percent."

The original Blaze boost was only about 50%, but Infernape's Blaze can reach 120%, and that's just an estimate. It might actually be even stronger. This Infernape is really something else!

"His raging fire not only amplified his fire-type skills, but also improved his physical attributes to varying degrees. The most significant improvement was in speed, which should already be faster than that of a professional-level player. How could raging fire affect this aspect?" This was something even the Pill Emperor found hard to understand.

You can say that the amplification rate of Blaze varies depending on the individual Pokémon, but what's with the amplification speed and power? Is this still Blaze?
"It must be because this Infernape has a special physique. When I first saw him, I felt that he had great potential, but I didn't expect him to reach this level. As long as he is properly trained, becoming a champion in the future should not be a big problem. In addition, with the blazing power in his body, he will probably be hard to beat even among champions," Cynthia said with a sigh.

She had always been optimistic about Infernape's potential. Under Ash's guidance, Infernape truly unleashed its potential, soaring from Advanced Beginner to Advanced Peak in a short period of time. Although evolution played a role, its talent also proved crucial.

However, Infernape's combat talent is also ridiculously strong. The combat ability amplified by its Blaze is terrifying. Moreover, Blaze is a 100% amplification skill. If Infernape's Blaze also has a percentage-based amplification, then its Blaze amplification will not be inferior at all after it levels up.

This is why Cynthia said that once Infernape reaches the Champion level, it will be virtually unbeatable among Champions.

"Oh? You think highly of that Infernape?" Dan raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised that Cynthia would make such a bold prediction. After all, Cynthia is always meticulous and wouldn't say anything she wasn't sure about.

Now she's saying that Infernape can become a champion in the future, and even be unbeatable among champions. He's never heard such an evaluation from Cynthia before. Is this Infernape really that powerful?

"I'm optimistic about Infernape, but I'm actually more optimistic about that little guy... If it's him, he can definitely bring out Infernape's full potential. We can look forward to it. In the not-too-distant future, perhaps an interesting opponent will stand in front of us." Cynthia turned her gaze to Ash below.

Infernape's potential is one thing, but Ash is truly powerful if he can unlock Infernape's full potential.

Just look at Shinji. Not to mention how long Infernape was under his control, his methods when he was still using Chimchar were too violent. He wanted to use the simplest methods to unleash Chimchar's power, but the result was the opposite.

Ash, however, was able to unleash Chimchar's power in just a few days after catching it, making the difference between the two obvious.

It wasn't that she was encouraging others while diminishing her own prestige, but rather that Shinji and Ash were indeed somewhat different, and she was quite curious to see what kind of sparks would fly when the two clashed head-on.

"Ash... he is indeed a very interesting person, but he is still a bit immature. It will be at least two or three years before he stands in front of us." Even Dan-di gave Ash a very high evaluation. In two or three years, Ash will only be seventeen or eighteen years old.

Despite becoming champion at eighteen, Cynthia truly possessed peak champion-level fighting power at the age of twenty, which is now.

Leon's assessment of Ash was that by the time he turned eighteen at the latest, he would have reached their current level, meaning he would have at least one Champion-level Pokémon; otherwise, he wouldn't be worthy of standing before them.

Cynthia's lips curled into a beautiful smile: "Two or three years... I feel like he'll be coming after less than a year."

Dan Emperor:? ? ?
Less than a year? That's a bit much! If Ash could train a Champion-level Pokémon in less than a year, he'd take off his advertising cape!
