Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

But now that he has mastered the power of super-power, he can resonate with Pikachu's mind and switch to Pikachu's perspective. In addition, he has experience directly transforming into Pikachu, so he naturally knows how to train to be the most suitable body type for Pikachu.

After this ordeal, many of Pikachu's flaws that were already irreparable were rectified, giving it a more perfect foundation.

Admittedly, the power it regains in this world may not be as great as before, but as long as it can bring this experience back, its strength will surely reach a new level!

...

"Hmm... what is this?"

During his journey, while passing through a town, Ash suddenly felt a slight burning sensation in his wrist.

He saw a ring of red marks appear and knew that it was the mane of Emperor Yan.

So, Emperor Yan appeared nearby?

They must have been attracted by their own rainbow-colored feathers...

Ash and Pikachu entered the forest and began searching for the whereabouts of the Fire-type legendary beast.

"Pikachu!" Soon, Pikachu spotted the beast that looked like a giant lion on a boulder in the forest.

"Emperor Yan..."

"I found it first!" Just as Ash was about to step forward, a girl dressed in blue, who looked full of youthful energy, beat him to it.

"Piplup, Bubble Beam!" The girl's Pokémon was Piplup, the starter Pokémon in Sinnoh. Perhaps to prevent Ash from snatching it, she had her partner spray a series of bubbles at Entei while they were still some distance apart.

boom!

A mist rose from Emperor Yan's body; it was too lazy to dodge such an attack.

"Roar!" With a furious roar of retaliation, the Flame Emperor sent Bogarman flying with just the sound wave!

It then leaped several meters away to the girl, startling her so much that she fell to the ground.

"Emperor Yan, don't scare her. You're here to see me, aren't you?" Ash immediately stepped in front of the girl and pulled out the Rainbow Feather. "I'm looking for Ho-Oh."

"Roar..." Upon seeing the rainbow-colored feathers, the Flame Emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed something else.

It moved closer to Ash's wrist and examined it closely, where red marks immediately reappeared.

(Human, why do you possess my power?) Entei frowned suspiciously and took the initiative to use telepathy on Ash.

It won't mistake it; the mark on Ash's wrist is his own power!

That couldn't have come from any other Flame Emperor. There are many Three Sacred Beasts, but the Phoenix King Guard is unique.

But he absolutely never shared his power with humans... He has only been born for 150 years, so Emperor Yan would not be mistaken about such a thing!

(Emperor Ent, may you hear my heart's voice?) Ash used his Super Power to make a request for a spiritual connection with Emperor Ent.

(Greetings, Rainbow Warrior.) Emperor Yan responded quickly, (I never expected you to be a traveler from another world.)

In a state of mental resonance, neither party has any secrets. Theoretically, Entei can see any information Ash wants to see in his mind.

However, Pokémon generally don't like to pry into things; they only read information that is relevant to themselves... After all, too much information would be difficult to process.

(I'll report to Lord Ho-Oh that the Shadow Guide is from another world just like you... Also, regarding your desire for the power of resurrection, please continue to Mount Azumi and complete the Hero's Trial. After meeting Lord Ho-Oh, it will naturally give you its answer.)

The progress was relatively smooth, and Ash had gained the trust of Entei.

As for revealing his purpose for this trip, that was meant to be revealed anyway.

He carries the rainbow feathers and the mark of the Phoenix Guard, which will surely attract the three legendary beasts of this world. At that time, we will naturally have to tell the truth.

(Then please report back... Be careful!)

Just as Ash was about to say goodbye to Entei, a ball of high-density energy suddenly flew out from the forest nearby—it was a wave missile!

"Pikachu!" But Pikachu was already on guard and immediately swung its tail to lift the energy ball into the air.

"Uh...it wasn't attacking you, was it?" The one who made the move was a handsome boy with Lucario. He was a little embarrassed after realizing he had misunderstood.

"Roar!" Seeing that more and more people were coming, Yan Di nodded to Xiao Zhi and leaped into the dense forest.

"Thank you... I'm Mako from Twinleaf Town. Thank goodness you stopped Entei." At this moment, the girl thanked Ash shyly.

"It was nothing, I'm Ash from Pallet Town," Ash replied casually.

"Wait... is that the Rainbow Feather in your hand?" The boy who appeared later immediately leaned closer. "Unbelievable, you actually... Excuse me, I am Souji from Veilstone City, and I am traveling with Lucario."

"What are the rainbow feathers used for?" Chengzi asked curiously.

“Those are Phoenix King’s feathers. It is said that humans who possess rainbow feathers are the Rainbow Warriors chosen by Phoenix King and are given the opportunity to meet him!” Zongci said with a hint of excitement. “The Flame Emperor just now, its life was given by Phoenix King. It must have sensed the rainbow feathers before it appeared.”

"Yes, it was just confirming my identity," Ash nodded. "I was planning to head to Mount Celestial to see if I could complete the Trial of the Hero."

"I see... uh, let's find somewhere to take shelter from the rain first." Zongci was clearly tempted, but just as he was about to say something, it started to drizzle.

The forest suddenly became shrouded in mist, and the three hurriedly began searching for shelter from the rain…

But suddenly, Ash felt a tremor in his heart!

He suddenly turned his head to look at the rocks not far away, where he saw a small fire dragon lying in the rain!

The opponent barely managed to protect the flames on its tail, but the light continued to grow weaker and weaker!

"Charmander!" Ash immediately rushed over and tenderly took off his clothes to wrap Charmander's body.

No doubt about it, even though it has degenerated, it is still its own Charizard!

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you!" Ash held Charmander in his arms and immediately used his super-advantage to try to resonate with it.

He could sense the other's weakness and felt incredibly guilty for not having encountered it sooner.

"Li..." Charmander weakly opened its eyes, but showed little gratitude towards Ash.

It just stared intently at the forest path not far away, until a trainer with a somewhat fierce appearance and a night wolf appeared there. It immediately began to struggle violently, trying to get to the other person's side.

Fortunately, Ash's emotional connection was timely. Charmander, remembering the past, gradually stopped struggling and quietly nestled in Ash's arms.

"You're still here?" The newcomer glared at him disdainfully. "A weakling like you, I really don't know what value you have left."

"Is that child your Pokémon?" Mako asked, frowning.

“That’s no longer the case… Weak Pokémon should be abandoned, that’s my principle, Cross!” the newcomer said arrogantly. “But it insisted on following me, so I ordered it to stay here.”

"What did you say?" Chengzi screamed angrily. "Do you know that saying things like that to your Pokémon could really kill it?!"

"Oh, so what?" Cross remained completely unmoved.

"I knew you'd say this, but it's still infuriating." Ash picked up Charmander, his face darkening as he approached Cross. "I'm not letting you get away with this!"

"Ha, you even pick up that kind of trash, which shows you're a useless trainer too," Cross said disdainfully. "You have absolutely no chance of beating me!"

"Awooo!" The mane rock werewolf beside it also swaggered around.

But the next second, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky and turned it into charcoal!

“Rock Wolfman, you…” Croston was stunned and stood there in shock.

That Pikachu over there looks extraordinary!

"Now it's your turn..."

"Ash." Souji stopped Ash, who was on the verge of exploding in anger. "It's more important to heal Charmander first. The rain is getting heavier."

"Consider yourself lucky. You won't get off so easily next time." Considering Charmander's safety, Ash immediately suppressed his anger. "Cross, right? You remember this... it's not the Charmander you abandoned, nor is it a weak Pokémon! It has always been my most important partner!"

"I will settle this score with you today!!"

Chapter 618 Re-evolution, A New Path to Power

To escape the torrential rain, Ash and his friends found a cave in the forest.

Zongci immediately took out a blanket and spread it on the ground. He carefully placed the little fire dragon on it and began to nervously prepare the herbal medicine for healing.

Ash quickly started a fire in the cave, took off his wet coat and put it by the fire to dry, then rushed off to help Souji.

He did everything very well: selecting materials, adding them in the correct proportions, and grinding them.

"Impressive! I didn't expect you to be able to concoct medicine for injuries. You don't look like you just started your trip at all," Zongci said in surprise.

"I'm far from good enough. You're the real expert." Ash shook his head in a low voice. "Thank you for your help this time."

"It's nothing... I can't just let my Pokémon, who cares about its trainer, die like this." Souji's voice was also somewhat heavy, indicating that he had a story to tell.

"I'll keep it warm." Seeing that Souji had finished treating it, Ash hugged Charmander, blanket and all, into his arms.

After a while, seeing that it was almost time, he covered the little dragon with his still-warm coat.

Sensing the temperature outside, the little guy's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and Xiao Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He hadn't felt this nervous in a long time. As his strength increased, Ash's Pokémon no longer suffered serious injuries.

Even if they occasionally suffer a severe blow, Ash will immediately activate the power of Viridian to heal them, helping them go from serious injuries to minor ones.

The rest is naturally the turn of the team doctor, Brock, to show his skills, while Ash can just assist him.

But this time, he was unable to heal Charmander's injuries immediately and could only let it suffer pain and even face life-threatening danger!

Fortunately, Zongci's treatment skills were comparable to Xiaogang's, and after a short period of unconsciousness, Xiaohulong finally opened his eyes weakly.

“Li…”

"Thank goodness, you're finally alright!" Ash exclaimed with delight upon hearing Charmander's cry. "Soji, thank you so much!"
