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

Chapter 79 Ash's Aura Infusion, Hatching, Aura Pokémon Riolu!

Generally speaking, if a Pokémon egg is damaged and cannot be saved to hatch immediately, it means the end of a life.

Let alone five years, if it can survive for three days without hatching, it's considered to be incredibly resilient!
Five years have passed, and this elf egg is still alive and well. It's incredibly resilient!
"Excuse me for being blunt, but isn't that unrealistic, Professor Sakuragi? Theoretically speaking, a damaged Pokémon egg shouldn't last that long; the life inside would probably have already perished," Xiaogang couldn't help but say.

Dr. Sakuragi's statement is really absurd. Even if you made the mythical beast egg into this state, it couldn't possibly last that long!
"Indeed, it wouldn't work under normal circumstances, but it's different in this pool. The water in this pool comes from the Clear Cliff and contains abundant life force. It is precisely because of this water source that this elf egg has been able to survive until now."

"The water source of Clear Cliff?" Ash and his friends looked at each other in bewilderment. This was a place they had never heard of before. Was there such a place in Kanto?

"Clear Cliff is a dangerous place in the city. It is steep and difficult to climb. There are also some elves living there. If a large group of people goes there rashly, they will be attacked by the elves. So generally speaking, you can only climb it by hand and cannot use transportation such as helicopters."

"It is precisely because of this that the water source of Qingche Cliff has not been over-exploited and is cherished."

As Professor Sakuragi spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the Pokémon eggs in the pool, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Don't be fooled by how simple he makes it sound; in reality, this water source costs an astronomical sum.

Kureha City is a fairly large city, and renting a place like this here would cost six figures a month.

The price of this small pool is more than three times the rental price of the place!
Furthermore, the life force provided by the water in the pool is not inexhaustible; the water source needs to be changed at most once a year. Therefore, in order to keep this elf egg alive, Professor Sakuragi has already spent more money than an ordinary person could earn in a lifetime.

Even so, it was all in vain.

Because there was no chance that this elf egg could survive. Even though the water from Clear Cliff kept it alive, the life force inside the egg would gradually disappear every year.

Perhaps it won't be able to survive another year.

"Professor Sakuragi, may I touch this Pokémon egg?" Ash suddenly asked.

This sudden request made Professor Sakuragi hesitate: "What do you want to do, Ash? This Pokémon egg can't withstand any more damage. If you touch it rashly, it might extinguish its remaining life force."

Professor Sakuragi had already put it very tactfully, implying that it was best not to touch the Pokémon egg unless absolutely necessary, otherwise no one could bear the responsibility if the egg died.

"I want to save his life."

"Save it?" Professor Sakuragi was taken aback, then realized that Ash meant to save the dying Pokémon egg to the point where it could hatch, but how was that possible?
"Hehe, Ash, don't joke around. You can't just say things like that." Professor Sakuragi waved his hand, treating it as a child's prank.

However, Ash didn't say anything, he just silently looked at Professor Sakuragi, and the expression in his eyes made Professor Sakuragi's heart skip a beat... He wasn't joking, he was serious.

"Can you trust me this once, Professor Sakuragi? Although you probably think of me as a mischievous kid, I'm always very serious when it comes to Pokémon, especially since this involves the life of a Pokémon."

Xiao Zhi's words were full of seriousness, with no hint of joking.

Professor Sakuragi fell silent upon hearing this. After struggling for an unknown amount of time, he looked at Ash and nodded with difficulty: "Go and try, Ash. I believe you are different from that guy. If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility."

That rascal?
Xiaoxia and Xiaogang keenly sensed that the 'guy' Professor Sakuragi mentioned might be the culprit that caused the Pokémon egg to become what it is today.

However, now is not the time to delve into that. At this moment, Ash has arrived in front of the Pokémon Egg, and his palm slowly penetrates the pool of water to cover the Pokémon Egg.

Ash's hand wasn't big; it could only barely cover the top of the Pokémon egg, but it was just enough to cover the gap.

Then, Ash closed his eyes, and a bright blue light burst forth from his entire body!
The surging power emanating from him startled Dr. Sakuragi.

'What is this energy? It gives off a powerful feeling, brimming with vitality. Has Ash acquired this power in just one year? Did he gain it while traveling? But he's only been traveling for a month…'

While Professor Sakuragi was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, Ash had already channeled his surging Aura power into the Pokémon egg.

Generally, it takes about a week to a month for a Pokémon egg to hatch, and normally it won't take more than a month.

When the incubation period is halfway through, the Pokémon inside will develop consciousness and will be able to sense everything around the Pokémon egg. If the Pokémon's trainer or parents are there to care for it, it will be closer to that person after it is born.

Like Ash's Ralts, who was actually still a long way from being born, but the influence of the giant Moonstone accelerated the birth process, completing in just a few seconds what a normal Pokémon egg would take ten days to half a month to do.

The Pokémon egg in front of us has been there for an astonishing five years. No matter if it's a good egg or a bad egg, it's impossible for it to have been in the Pokémon egg stage for so long. If it weren't for the lake water of Clear Cliff keeping it afloat, it would have died long ago.

Ash could clearly sense the presence of consciousness inside the Pokémon egg. When he transmitted his aura to it, he felt the gratitude, joy, and relief of surviving the ordeal.

With such rich emotions, the consciousness inside is definitely not newly born. In other words, after experiencing the confusion of birth, the consciousness inside this elf egg realized that it was about to die, which is why it called for help from the outside.

If it weren't for Xiaozhi's arrival today, it might not have even had the strength to call for help soon.

As Ash infused his Aura, the faint life within the Pokémon Egg gradually grew stronger. Before long, the life within the Pokémon Egg became abundant again, and Ash's Aura continued to flow in!
Waveguide power is the source of a person's life. If too much waveguide power is lost from the body, life will become weak and may even lead to death!
This is why the Aura could revive the Pokémon egg. Besides the fact that the Pokémon egg is compatible with the Aura, the Aura itself is a power that enhances life force.

But it was the kind of life-for-life exchange!

However, the person who did this today was Ash. Putting aside the fact that he obtained all of Ash's Aura, he is also slowly developing his own Aura. It's just injecting Aura into a dying Pokémon egg to make its life grow again. How could it cause any burden to Ash?

Let alone a mere Pokémon egg, even a legendary Pokémon, a Pokémon from the highest realms, as long as it's not Ho-Oh or Xerneas, Ash's current Aura ability can pull them back from the brink of death without harming himself. That's the power of a humanoid legendary Pokémon!
Several seconds later, under the tense gazes of Professor Sakuragi, Xiaoxia, and Xiaogang, the Pokémon Egg suddenly emitted a soft sound.

Before the three could react, the sound rapidly increased, and the cracks on the Pokémon egg also widened!

Professor Sakuragi's expression changed, and a look of worry appeared on his face. The elf egg, which originally only had minor cracks, was now covered with cracks. Was this a good thing or a bad thing?
He doesn't have any detection equipment right now, so he can't see anything with the naked eye.

"Crack crack crack—Bang!!"

When cracks covered the entire surface of the fairy egg, a muffled sound rang out, and countless fragments were ejected from the pool and splashed to the side.

Xiaoxia and the other two instinctively raised their hands in front of them, blocking the scattered eggshell fragments.

"What's going on... Ash didn't fail, did he?" Brock asked worriedly, feeling a slight pain in his palm.

If what happened just now was a Pokémon egg hatching... there shouldn't have been such a big commotion.

When Ralts hatched from its egg before, it was so quiet. Now it's like a bomb has exploded, and even the eggshell is flying into pieces.

"No... Ash won't fail!" Misty murmured, her voice growing increasingly firm.

I've been with Xiaozhi for over a month now. Although he often does some reckless things, and even things that I don't understand at all, the final result is always good.

He always manages to surprise everyone and achieve a good result. This time... it won't be any different, right, Ash?

The three of them slowly lowered their hands. Dr. Sakuragi and Baku were somewhat hesitant to look at the situation in the pool, but Kasumi, with a mix of trepidation and determination, turned her gaze to the pool.

The next second, Misty's emerald eyes shone with surprise: "Brock, Professor Sakuragi, Ash did it! The Pokémon inside hatched!"

"Really?! This is possible?!"

"Where is it! Where is the hatched elf?!"

Brock and Professor Sakuragi quickly turned their heads and saw a blue-black puppy-type Pokémon lying quietly in Ash's arms, looking as if it were asleep.

This is the elf that hatched from that elf egg.

"It actually hatched..." Professor Sakuragi muttered to himself, looking slightly dazed, before quickly running over to Ash and staring intently at the Pokémon in Ash's arms.

He reached out his slightly trembling hand and gently placed it on the dog-like Pokémon. The slightly warm feeling confirmed to Professor Sakuragi that the Pokémon was alive!
Xiaoxia and Xiaogang approached Xiaozhi, their eyes filled with curiosity as they looked at the Pokémon in Xiaozhi's arms.

The former asked softly, "What kind of Pokémon is this? It doesn't seem to be a Kanto species, does it?"

"Riolu, a Pokémon from the Sinnoh region," Ash suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxia looked at Xiaozhi with some surprise.

Compared to adapting to unexpected situations in battle, raising and training Pokémon, and even cooking, Ash's weakest area is probably his knowledge of Pokémon.

When Ash first started his journey, he couldn't even recognize all the Pokémon in the Kanto region. Now, after a period of learning, he can recognize almost all the Pokémon in Kanto, but he shouldn't be able to recognize the Pokémon in the Sinnoh region, right?
Could this be another Pokémon with special tactics that Professor Oak explained? Like Hippowdon and Acrobat.

"Riolu is an extremely rare Pokémon in the Sinnoh region, so rare that it's said to be comparable to legendary Pokémon." At this moment, Professor Sakuragi also realized that Riolu had been successfully 'revived' and began to educate everyone about Riolu.

"It possesses a unique power; it will recognize those with good hearts and hate those with evil hearts. It can observe the emotions of people and Pokémon, as well as the natural world, in the form of waves called 'Aura.' It is one of the few Pokémon that can freely control the power of Aura."

Waveguide power?

Upon hearing this name, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang instantly understood why Xiaozhi knew about the Pokémon Riolu.

Ash himself also possesses the power of Aura, a power that even the gym leaders had never heard of.

Later, they also looked up some information about the power of aura, but they couldn't find any humans who had ever possessed the power of aura. However, there were a few Pokémon who could master this power.

That other Pokémon can use the power of Aura to unleash a move that is almost guaranteed to hit—Aura Sphere!

That's right, that's the move Ash used.

But this is the limit that a Pokémon capable of wielding Aura can achieve.

Even in the information available online, they had never seen anyone like Ash who could fuse Aura into a Pokémon, or a Pokémon that could apply Aura to a human.

As for using waveguides to explore or create barriers, that's unheard of.

Ash not only possesses the power of Aura, but he also uses it in a more diverse way than many other Pokémon.

The Riolu in Ash's arms is also one of the Pokémon that can use Aura, and according to Professor Sakuragi's description... Riolu seems to use Aura in a similar way to Ash.
Being able to sense good and evil, and being able to use Aura to observe the emotions of any Pokémon—isn't this one of the ways Ash uses Aura?
