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

Chapter 85 Stray Dog Pikachu, Pikachu: Stray dog? I will appear in partner form.
Ash, who was still talking, was sprayed in the face. He strained his waist and sat up abruptly on the beach, looking at the culprit who had sprayed him.

Xiaoxia made a face at Xiaozhi: "Hehe~~ Who told you to just lie there the whole time? Coming to the beach and not playing in the water is so boring!"

"Fine! You dare spit on me! Just you wait!"

"Come and catch me~~" Xiaoxia made a face again, then turned around and ran away, wiggling her little bottom.

"Brock, give me the water gun!" Ash asked Brock for the water gun from a group of swimsuit-clad women who were staring blankly at the scene, and then rushed over.

His physique was no match for Xiaoxia's. Before long, Xiaoxia was caught up by Xiaozhi and pinned down by him!

Xiaoxia was completely terrified. What was Xiaozhi doing? Had he finally succumbed to his desires after seeing her sexy swimsuit? But this was outside! This was unacceptable!

However, the next second, a light blue gun barrel was pointed at Xiaoxia's forehead. Xiaoxia stared blankly at the gun barrel in front of her and hadn't reacted yet when a powerful stream of water hit her face and splashed her face!
"Let's see how you get out of here!" Xiao Zhi said, while splashing Xiao Xia's face with the water gun in his hand.

Xiaochun, who was watching this scene from not far away, changed her expression from surprise, astonishment, and disbelief to covering her mouth and chuckling.

Ash doesn't seem to have changed much from before; he's still as childish as ever.

I thought that traveling for a while would make me more mature, but I'm exactly the same as when I was ten or so.

"Ash!!!" After experiencing the initial rollercoaster of emotions, Misty wiped the water droplets from her face and roared Ash's name like a Gyarados.

However, Ash had already run far away after doing his bad deed, and even turned around and made faces at Misty.

This infuriated Xiaoxia to the point of near madness. She grabbed her water gun to retaliate, but she couldn't catch up with Xiaozhi at all.

……

Happy times always pass quickly, and the morning was over in the blink of an eye. Everyone's stomachs were growling with hunger.

So the group randomly found a restaurant and had a meal. After eating, they went to find Professor Oak and Hanako.

The two girls had said they were coming to the resort today, but they hadn't seen them at the beach at all. It was already afternoon, and the sun was blazing. Even with parasols and sunscreen, the two girls didn't really want to play.

Getting your skin tanned would be a bad trade-off.

So if they can't find Professor Oak and Hanako, they'll find a place to rest and look for them again when the sun has set a little.

This is the inconvenience of not having a fixed place to contact each other. It is said that the alliance is already developing a mobile phone, which will be popularized soon, making it much more convenient to contact each other when you are out.

Another thirty minutes later... it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and both women were clearly a little tired.

"Ash, did Professor Oak and the others really say they're coming today?"

"Yeah, he said he drove here from Pallet Town this morning, so he should have arrived a long time ago..." Ash scratched his head, also feeling a bit strange.

If you come to a resort, don't you want to go to the beach? If you try to find it inside the resort, it will be harder to find.

"Can't you use a waveguide to search? Your waveguide should be able to cover a radius of fifty miles, right?"

"But I haven't recorded Mom's or Professor Oak's Aura..." Ash said, a little embarrassed.

He obtained the power of the Aura when he was traveling. How did he record Hanako and Professor Oak's Aura at that time?

Auras are good for detecting terrain, but when it comes to detecting humans... unless you can memorize their auras, it's very difficult to discern their appearance just by detecting them.

After all, the perspective of waveguide power is quite sinister.

While Ash and his friends were searching for someone, they suddenly noticed that many people were jogging towards the right side of the beach. Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, a conversation reached Ash's ears.

"I heard there are people battling it out at the arena!"

"Yes, and he's a very young boy. I heard he's already won five straight games. If he can achieve ten straight wins, he'll get a prize from the Lampur Resort. It looks like a very beautiful jewel."

"A precious pearl, that must be very valuable, but isn't a ten-game winning streak a bit difficult?"

"Hey, otherwise, would the resort be willing to offer valuable items as prizes? It's also a way to attract visitors."

"Who is that boy? Do you know him?"

"He seems to be quite famous. He's a rising star trainer named Gary. I heard he's already earned three badges in just one month of traveling, which is quite an achievement for a newcomer."

"..."

A rising star trainer? Gary?
Upon hearing the name, Ash's expression instantly brightened. He knew that Gary had come here and was about to challenge the Vermilion City Gym.

He was wondering if he would run into Shigeru in Konoha City, but he never expected to run into him at this resort!

Moreover, Xiao Mao is still playing in the competition, and he can get a certain gem after ten consecutive wins.

Regardless of the reward, Ash couldn't stand seeing Gary steal the spotlight. Besides, what kind of fame is it to get three badges?

He's a trainer who got three badges in just one month since his debut, so why isn't anyone talking about him?
As Ash was thinking, he greeted everyone and then hurriedly ran towards the arena.

Before leaving, he told Xiaoxia and Xiaochun to rest if they were tired, as he couldn't miss the match against Xiaomao this time, so he had to go even under the scorching sun.

However, since Ash has already gone there, how will Misty and Chloe get some rest? And the former is also very curious about what kind of person Gary is, the one Ash keeps talking about.

To be remembered by a monster like Ash, one must be a monster himself.

So the four of them followed Ash's footsteps and headed to the arena together.

……

"Carty Dog, shoot flames!"

"Woof!" Blazing flames erupted from Growlithe's mouth, instantly roasting the Sandshrew in the process. Gary crossed his arms, a confident smile on his face: "Is that all you've got? This ten-game winning streak is way too easy. We don't even need to play the last match; just give me the prize."

"Xiao Mao, Xiao Mao is so great! Xiao Mao, Xiao Mao is so handsome!" A row of bright and beautiful girls dressed in cheerleading outfits cheered for Xiao Mao from behind.

Not far away, Professor Oak, wearing beach shorts and a floral beach shirt, covered his face, looking somewhat unable to bear the sight, while Hanako, wearing a swimsuit with a white long-sleeved jacket over it, covered her mouth and chuckled.

Xiao Mao's performance perfectly embodies the spirit of young people.

Although he was a bit arrogant, he had the ability to be arrogant. However, what Professor Oak couldn't bear to look at was the group of cheerleaders behind Gary.

Those awkward cheers shouted out in public, I don't know how Xiao Mao could bear being yelled at like that in front of so many people.

"There's one more person. Who wants to challenge me? Hurry up and finish so I can get the prize."

"I'll go!!" A figure leaped out from the crowd, flipped 360 degrees in the air, and landed gracefully on the trainer's seat opposite Shigeru.

This high-profile appearance drew everyone's attention, and Xiao Mao's lips twitched at the sight.

All the effort he put into stealing the spotlight was instantly stolen by this newcomer. Who is this guy?

When Xiao Mao also turned his gaze to the newcomer, his expression changed instantly.

"Ash?!"

"That's right, it's me. Long time no see, Gary. I didn't expect you to be here battling Pokémon. You didn't even tell me you were coming. Were you afraid I'd defeat you and steal your title as the strongest rookie?"

Xiao Zhi slowly stood up from his half-squatting position, adjusted his hat with one hand, and looked spirited!

On his way here, he thought of several ways to make a high-profile entrance and how to completely overshadow Gary. In the end, Ash chose to use his outstanding physical abilities to perform a 360-degree somersault and land smoothly when he entered the arena.

This will definitely attract a huge response.

Just as he had predicted, everyone's attention was drawn to him, and now he was the most dazzling guy in the room!
"Heh, when did you, you hotheaded good-for-nothing Ash, dare to say such things? I completely crushed you in the theory exam in Pallet Town. The only thing you have to talk about is that you're all brawn and no brains."

In terms of verbal skills, Gary is no less skilled than Ash. Back in Pallet Town, when they were exchanging barbs, Ash never managed to out-argue Gary.

However, things are different now. Under the tutelage of many big shots, not only has his verbal skills improved, but his practical abilities and theoretical knowledge have also made rapid progress.

Although he only had one month to develop, this month was an absolute transformation compared to before!
Little Mao, you can easily take him down!

"Enough with the nonsense, I'm your tenth opponent. What are the rules? One-on-one or many-on-many?" Ash raised his chin and said arrogantly.

When facing Xiao Mao, all the self-control he had cultivated over the past month vanished without a trace. What self-control? What manners? He couldn't understand!
Thinking back to Gary's mocking behavior after defeating him, Ash only had one word in his mind right now—"Get him!"

Let's get him! Today he'll beat Xiao Mao to a pulp!

"Hey, looks like this month-long trip has given you some inexplicable confidence. Well then, let me tell you, your growth is nothing compared to your talent!"

As he spoke, Growlithe recalled his Growlithe, then arrogantly raised his chin and took out a new Poké Ball: "The rules of the match are one-on-one. As the tournament champion, I will send out my Pokémon first. Ash, you will be the final stepping stone for my ten-game winning streak. Go, my darling!"

Gary gently kissed the Poké Ball, then threw it.

The Poké Ball traced a graceful arc through the air, then flashed with light, and a deep blue turtle-like Pokémon appeared on the field.

With its sturdy shell, small fangs, wing-like ears, and wavy tail, this is Squirtle's evolved form, Wartortle!

Seeing this, Ash narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is your starter Pokémon Squirtle?"

Although Gary is arrogant, he will never be careless when facing him. He will send out his strongest Pokémon to battle him, and this Wartortle is undoubtedly Gary's trump card right now.

Generally, your ace Pokémon will be your starter Pokémon, especially when you first begin your journey.

Because the initial spirit accompanies you the longest in the beginning, and you spend the most effort on it.

Furthermore, the bond between trainers and Pokémon can transcend the limitations of a Pokémon's aptitude. Some Pokémon that are slow to improve and have low stats can eventually surpass their limits and become top-tier Pokémon under the influence of their bond with their trainers... These are very rare exceptions.

After all, there are very few people in the world who can have such a strong bond with elves.

In short, for a trainer like Gary who has only been a trainer for a month, his ace Pokémon is usually his starter Pokémon, just like Ash's current ace Pokémon is Pikachu.

Regardless of how Pikachu develops in the future, right now he is Ash's undisputed ace!

Ash glanced at Wartortle's information.

Level: Advanced Peak; Trait: Torrent; All stats except Speed ​​and Attack are A, and the remaining two are B.

Did Professor Oak give you special treatment? Pokémon with this kind of talent are one in a million in the entire species, how did Gary manage to choose him?
But then again, his Pikachu is a 6A (highest tier) character, so if we're talking about special treatment, he seems to be the one receiving special treatment...

"How about that? Are you scared by my Wartortle's imposing figure? I'm not afraid to tell you, Wartortle is my starter Pokémon. Let's have a battle of starter Pokémon this time. Your starter Pokémon is probably that stray dog ​​on the roadside, right?"

Shigeru looked at Pikachu and said sarcastically.

Pikachu: ? ? ?

"Pikachu? Pikachu Pikachu!!" What did I do to you?! Can't you speak properly?!

Pikachu neither liked nor disliked Gary upon their first meeting, but knew that Ash had a strong attachment to Gary.

But after that sarcastic remark, Teacher Da Pi couldn't take it anymore.

The password is wrong. I originally wanted to play with you normally, but now I'll be attacking as your partner!
Let me see who the stray dog ​​is!

Ash's lips twitched when he heard Pikachu's words, and his eyes were full of pity as he looked at Gary.

Dude, you're doomed. A Pikachu-Warturd in its normal form might have a chance of winning, but in its partner form... I don't know how you could possibly lose!
