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

Chapter 56 The Origin of Electric Acceleration, Exclusive to Time and Space, Partner Form!
With Starmie falling to the ground, Ash was declared the victor of the battle.

Despite having advantages in location, level, and trainer experience, Misty still lost to Ash.

Xiaoxia is still in shock, her pupils have lost focus.

Don't talk about having a three-on-one numerical advantage. Two are normal level and one is advanced level. So what if you have a numerical advantage?

The higher the level, the greater the gap. As an elite peak-level Starmie, it could theoretically win against six Pikachu-like Pokémon.

This is a difference of one major level plus two minor levels, and it's not just from novice to ordinary level, it's an advancement to elite level!

Given such a level difference, the fact that her opponent defeated her without even losing a single Pokémon's ability to battle left Xiaoxia utterly shocked.

Even after being hit twice by Pikachu's Electric Speed-Up move, Misty still felt she had a chance to turn the tide. She believed that if she could control Pikachu with Psychic and then defeat it with a move like Water Gun, Ash's remaining two Pokémon would be no match for Starmie.

However, the idea was beautiful, but reality was cruel. In her haste, she did not pay attention to the problem of the venue. Pikachu used Thunderbolt not only to strike with lightning in the air, but also used the principle of water conducting electricity to spread the lightning across the ground.

Finally, the starfish, with only a sliver of strength left, collapsed under the 100,000 volts that spread from the water.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiaoxia's pupils finally regained focus. When she came to her senses, she saw Ash and Pikachu happily hugging each other and spinning around in circles, with Ralts at their feet also happily spinning along with them.

The little girl didn't know why Ash was so happy, but when Ash was happy, she was happy too, and she danced and laughed along with him.

Seeing this, Misty put away Starmie, then jumped into the pool below and walked up to the happy Ash.

"Congratulations, Ash, on defeating the Cerulean City Gym. I underestimated you; I didn't expect you to have hidden moves."

Ash rubbed his nose and chuckled, "Hehe, that was a secret move that Pikachu and I accidentally came up with. Even we were shocked back then."

"Pikachu~" Pikachu nodded in agreement as it stood on Ash's shoulder, and returned Ash's hat to him.

On that day, when he suddenly used that skill, Pikachu was startled. He didn't even know he could use that move.

It was breakfast at Mt. Tsukimi. Ash and Brock had gotten up early to train, while Misty and Brock were still fast asleep. Since Ash was doing physical training with him, he took off his hat while sweating profusely.

Pikachu looked at Ash's hat with curiosity, so it tried it on. Who knew that after putting on the hat, it felt an inexhaustible surge of power within it.

Pikachu told Ash about this, and Ash used his Insight to discover that Pikachu, which was originally only at the [Advanced Intermediate] level, had become the [Advanced Advanced] level after wearing the hat.

Moreover, Pikachu's stats did not decrease as its level increased; on the contrary, they increased by a whole level.

C~B becomes B~A, and D~B becomes C~A.

This all-around improvement, simply because of wearing a hat, left Ash completely baffled.

Besides its level and stats, Pikachu felt it had learned a new move, so Ash let it try it out—that's how Pikachu first used Electric Speed ​​Boost.

Afterwards, Ash immediately went to the group to ask what had happened, but this time an unexpected situation arose. None of the experienced members of the group had ever seen or heard of such a thing. After learning about Ash's situation, they tried putting their hats on Pikachu's head, but nothing happened.

They do have moves that can only be performed while wearing hats, and one of them is a unique move that only they and Pikachu can use, with terrifying power.

However, that move was completely different from the one Ash described, and their Pikachu didn't gain any stat increases or level increases when wearing the hat.

Therefore, it can be basically concluded that it is the exclusive form of Ash Pikachu belonging to this time and space.

The idea that wearing a hat can change one's appearance is somewhat unbelievable, even from the perspective of the group's experts.

The experts in the group even gave Ash's Pikachu this form a name – Partner Form.

As for the name of the skill "Electric Speed ​​Boost", it was Pikachu's own idea. When using this skill, he can feel as if his whole body is filled with lightning, and he moves quickly under the drive of the lightning. The speed boost of this move is even faster than Quick Attack!
That's why it has the vivid and descriptive name "Electric Accelerator".

The above is the complete origin of electric acceleration.

It was precisely because of this skill, the boost from wearing the hat, and the buff from Aura Fusion that Ash decided to use this tactic.

After clearing the water from the area, Pikachu, with its mobility and several buffs, directly collides head-on with Starmie!
As it turns out, with multiple buffs, Pikachu's speed is comparable to that of an Elite-level Pikachu. In addition, Electric Boost is faster than Quick Attack, so Starmie simply cannot keep up with Pikachu in terms of speed.

Ash ultimately won the battle without any major incident, rightfully earning the Water Badge.

Ash took the Water Drop Badge from Misty's hand and struck his classic pose: "I got the Water Drop Badge!"

"Pikachu!"

"La la la la~~" Ralts, who had never been in a match before, joined in the cheering from the sidelines. The way it stretched out its little hand and posed with Ash made Misty's gloomy mood, which was somewhat gloomy because of losing the match, brighten up a bit.

This little one is not only adorable in appearance, but also has a very endearing personality. Just looking at her is enough to dispel any gloom in your heart.

"Congratulations, Ash! You've earned your second badge and put on a really impressive battle. Your unconventional fighting style is something many Gym Leaders probably didn't expect. It's really hard to imagine that you're a rookie Trainer."

Xiao Gang also walked over to Xiao Zhi from the side, clapping and praising Xiao Zhi's battle.

At first, he paid more attention to the older girls around him, but later he focused almost entirely on Ash and Misty's battle.

Although Xiaozhi's tactics seemed somewhat crude to Xiaogang, they were quite imaginative in execution. At least in Xiaogang's opinion, such tactics were something that a normal person would never think of, but Xiaozhi had come up with them and implemented them.

If it weren't for Ash's usually limited knowledge, Brock would have really suspected that Ash had been training in Pokémon battles since childhood, just like the gym leaders.

If Ash can expand and enrich his knowledge, he truly has the potential to become a champion in the future.
