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

Chapter 43 Superman Ash, Breaking Steel with His Fist, Clefairy's Mysterious Ritual.

As the three tightened the net holding Pipi, they said with smiles, "Of course we followed you here! You guys really made us search for you. Originally, our target was just the Pikachu in your hand, but since you revealed the rarity of this Pokémon, such a rare Pokémon, of course we had to catch it and offer it to our boss!"

"Meow, and we'll take that Pikachu too!" Meow said, as a mechanical claw appeared in its hand and launched towards Pikachu like a claw machine!

Ash instinctively threw a backfist, shattering the incoming mechanical claw and sending it flying, leaving only a lone connecting rod standing there.

The smile on Meow Meow's face instantly froze.

What the hell?! He blasted the machine he made in half with a single punch?! How is that possible? The joints weren't made of plastic; they were solid steel!!

Is this guy Superman?!

Not to mention Meowth, Jessie, and the others were shocked, even Brock, who had never seen Ash fight before, widened his eyes—although it was still difficult to see his eyes, it was enough to show Brock's shock.

A human punched a piece of steel in half with their bare hands—that takes incredible strength!

Ash slowly withdrew his fist, not caring about the punch he had just thrown. The punch was imbued with Aura, so the result was to be expected. What he cared about was that he had been targeted by Team Rocket.

Now he suddenly understood what the "ill-fated relationship" that the experts in the group were talking about meant.

These three guys were blasted away by him back in Tokiwa City, but after so many days, they still managed to show up at his door. The world is so big, even the Kanto region is huge, and they actually managed to find him. It's just outrageous!
And these three guys really had their eyes on his Pikachu. Ash, who already knew a bit about Pokémon, knew that Pikachu was actually a very common Pokémon in Kanto, but his Pikachu was indeed a little different...

But that's no reason for these people to be targeting his Pikachu, is it?! But now's not the time to concern myself with that.

"You bunch of bastards, let Pipi go!"

"Hey, who's going to listen to you? If we did, would we still be villains?" Musashi made a face at Ash.

"Exactly, exactly. Would you hand over Pikachu if we asked you to?" Kojiro said sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, Ash lowered his body slightly and placed his palm flat. Pikachu understood and jumped onto Ash's palm. Then Ash threw it with all his might, sending Pikachu flying like an arrow!

"You want Pikachu? Here you go!!"

Team Rocket were stunned. Had this kid gone mad? He actually threw Pikachu over?

"Pikachu, one hundred thousand volts!!"

However, before Team Rocket could catch Pikachu, Ash's voice rang out following Pikachu's charge.

Team Rocket's expressions changed drastically. Jessie and Kojiro hurriedly tried to release their Pokémon, but it was too late.

Ash's arm strength propelled Pikachu rapidly towards the trio, unleashing a Thunderbolt attack from less than a meter away, giving them no chance to react.

"Swoosh!!" A golden flash struck the trio, causing them to scream in agony. Then, an explosion rang out where the trio was, blasting them straight out of the cave entrance on Mount Tsukimi!
"You damn brat, we'll be back for revenge!"

"Damn it, I haven't even brought out my Pokémon yet!"

"My machine was broken in half by hand, this isn't right, meow..." "This feeling is awful!! *3

As the three voices faded into the distance, Ash realized that they had been blasted away to some unknown place. He then rushed to Clefairy and pulled away the large net that was covering Clefairy.

"Are you alright, Pipi?"

"Clefairy~~" Clefairy emerged from the net, smiled, and nodded to Ash, indicating that she hadn't been hurt.

The Rockets' net only serves to restrain Pippi; it certainly won't hurt her.

"It's good that you're alright. Be careful next time, don't get caught by bad guys." Ash patted Clefairy's head. Clefairy's eyes narrowed, seemingly enjoying Ash's big hand stroking her.

"Hey, Ash, you seem to be quite popular with Clefairy. Clefairy didn't run away when you touched her earlier, and now she even lets you touch her head," Misty said, stepping forward with a hint of envy.

"This Clefairy seems quite friendly. Misty, you should try it too." Ash said, stepping aside and letting Pikachu return to his shoulder.

"Is that so?" Xiaoxia approached Pipi with some skepticism, then reached out her delicate white hand and tentatively touched Pipi's head. Pipi didn't show any sign of rejection, nor did she try to run away.

After confirming that Pipi didn't seem to mind, Xiaoxia placed her hand on Pipi's head, enjoying the soft touch and feeling quite satisfied.

"Pipi~~" After the two interacted with Pipi for a while, Pipi raised the moonstone in its hand, then pointed to the depths of the cave and gestured.

Xiaoxia looked at Xiaozhi, confused. She couldn't understand what Pipi was saying, but Xiaozhi should be able to.

"He said to let us go inside, where her tribe is holding a ceremony to pray to the gods." Ash translated Clefairy's words to Misty and Brock, while also feeling a little confused. What was this ceremony to pray to the gods?
"A ritual of praying to the gods?"

"Ash, can you understand what Pokémon are saying?"

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang spoke at the same time, but they focused on different things.

The latter was unaware that Ash could understand what Pokémon were saying.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Brock, that I have Aura, so I can understand what Pokémon are saying. Also, because of Aura, my body is a bit stronger than the average person. But now is not the time to focus on that. Let's follow Clefairy and see what's going on."

While Ash was talking, Clefairy continued deeper into the cave, but this time Clefairy would turn back to see if Ash and the others were following.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gang temporarily suppressed his doubts and followed Pipi's footsteps into the depths of the cave with Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia.

……

About ten minutes later, the group finally followed Pipi out of the winding cave and then saw a strange sight!
Dozens of Pipi each held a moonstone and were circling and jumping around a huge moonstone, as if they were performing an unknown dance.

"What's going on? Is this the ritual of praying to the gods that Clefairy and the others were talking about?" Ash swallowed hard and said with some difficulty.

Peacocks, which are considered extremely rare outside, are commonplace here, and moonstones, which are very valuable and expensive outside, are also readily available here.

What exactly is this place? Pipi's secret base?
