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

Chapter 32 One Mind, One Body, Pikachu's Aura Sphere! Your Pikachu is illegal!
Misty, watching from behind Ash, looked at the sleeping Geodude, which was wrapped in white silk, and her red lips parted slightly in surprise.

She seemed to understand why Ash wanted to catch Caterpie. Putting aside its raw strength, this tactic of inflicting status ailments was indeed the perfect strategy for Caterpie's final evolution, Butterfree.

Although Butterfree is the final evolution, like other Bug-type Pokémon, its base stats are relatively low, especially in terms of stamina and defense, which are among the worst.

Its speed is actually just average, but it's still pretty good. Butterfree's most outstanding feature is its special attack. However, as a mid-speed, fragile Pokémon, even a high special attack is not very useful, especially when it faces a Gym Leader after being caught and evolved not long ago.

Therefore, Xiaoxia has never been very optimistic about Butterfree's usefulness in gym battles.

However, Ash gave her a rude awakening right from the start, his opening strategy seemingly telling her – watch closely, this is how Butterfree is used!
On the field, after Butterfree had played its role to the fullest, Ash chose to recall Butterfree.

"Well done, Butterfree, come back!" After recalling Butterfree, Ash looked at Pikachu at his feet. Pikachu nodded and dashed forward.

"I choose you, Pikachu!"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu shouted enthusiastically.

"First Butterfree, then Pikachu? Bug-type, Flying-type, Electric-type... Ash, are you doing this on purpose or do you really not know the principle of type advantages and disadvantages?" Brock couldn't help but show his excitement when he saw Pikachu appear.

What kind of Pokémon did they send out? Pikachu, Butterfree, aren't they all weak to Rock and Ground?
Even if Ash didn't research what type the Pewter Gym was beforehand, he should have known what type Geodude was when he saw it, right?

Geodude is a common Pokémon in Kanto, just like Pidgey and Spearow. Generally, even novice trainers know what Geodude's type is, let alone a trainer like Ash who can use such a clever tactic.

However, despite knowing Geodude's type, they still sent out two Pokémon with the opposite type. These weren't just ordinary type disadvantages; one was four times weak to Geodude, and the other couldn't even do any damage to Ground-type Pokémon, being completely countered.

If a gym leader faces this kind of attribute disadvantage, unless they have an advantage in level, they will have a terrible headache.

On the other hand, Ash...

"Of course I know that Pikachu's Electric-type moves can't hurt Ground-type Geodude, but Pikachu isn't just about Electric-type moves. Go, Pikachu, let Brock see the secret techniques we've been practicing lately!"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu stood up on its hind legs, full of fighting spirit, placed its hands on its waist, and slowly closed its eyes.

At this moment, Ash's eyes were also closed. The movements of the human and the mouse were surprisingly consistent, both placing their hands on their waists.

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia were both a little confused, especially the latter, who had been following Xiaozhi around for days and knew exactly what kind of training Xiaozhi was giving his Pokémon.

Even she didn't know what secret techniques Ash and Pikachu had, since they had been practicing Electric-type moves and Pikachu's speed all this time, except for battling.

Besides that, after every meal, Ash would close his eyes, sit cross-legged, and meditate, just like in meditation. Pikachu would also close its eyes on Ash's shoulder, just like it was asleep, which is somewhat similar to its current state. But can that really be called a secret technique?
Time passed second by second, and Ash and Pikachu were wasting the time that Butterfree had created with its hypnosis. Brock didn't disturb Ash.

He didn't know if Ash was bluffing or if Ash really had some amazing trump card, but if time dragged on, it would definitely be more advantageous for him, since Geodude was asleep and could only be used as a target.

As a beginner, Pikachu should only be able to use Normal-type moves besides Electric-type moves. Although those moves won't do much damage to Geodude, they can accumulate and become quite formidable.

Ideally, we should wait until Geodude wakes up.

The next second, Geodude, which was wrapped in white threads, suddenly moved. Xiao Gang was overjoyed and quickly shouted, "Geodude, wake up! Use Rollout!"

"Fist..." The conscious little fist stone began to struggle, and with a sudden burst of strength, the silk threads binding his body were broken off!
Although some white threads were still wrapped around its body, slowing down Geodude's speed, it didn't matter much to Geodude, which was already very slow.

The little geomancy curled up into a ball again and began to roll in place.

"Now, Pikachu, Aura Sphere!!" Ash shouted, his eyes snapping open in an instant.

"Pika Pika!!" Pikachu opened its eyes, and its dark pupils turned azure blue. Between Pikachu's hands, azure blue energy ball quickly took shape and grew to the size of Pikachu's height in the blink of an eye.

Before Geodude could roll over, Pikachu pushed its hands forward, and Aura Spheres shot out from its hands, hurtling towards Geodude like meteors.

Geodude was still rolling when it sensed danger and quickly rolled away, trying to dodge Pikachu's Aura Sphere using its rolling speed.

However, as Geodude spun away from its original position, Aura Missile made a sudden turn in mid-air and caught up with Geodude, who was running away.

"boom!!"

The missile hit its target with pinpoint accuracy!

An explosion rang out, and a huge plume of smoke rose from where the aura missile struck. Pikachu calmly lowered its hands, exhaled a breath of stale air, and then slowly turned around.

The storm from the explosion blew behind Pikachu, who looked like a true man who never looks back at an explosion.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang stared wide-eyed at the rising smoke, speechless for a long time.

What the hell was that? A wave missile? I've never heard of such a skill before! Is this a skill Pikachu can learn? Brock was completely bewildered and shocked.

Xiaoxia's heart was also very complicated at this moment. Of course she knew what Aura Sphere was. Wasn't that the attack move that Ash created using the power of Aura? Why would Pikachu use it too?
No, no, just now Ash and Pikachu made the same pose, and both of them closed their eyes. Could it be... No, that's impossible. How could something like Ash and Pikachu becoming one with each other and sharing moves possibly happen in real life?
