In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

"..."

However, Xiaoxia just stared blankly at the boy in front of her who was much taller than her, completely unaware of what was happening.

This aura is definitely Ash's, but something's not right. And up close, this boy is obviously much older than Ash.

(Please give me flowers, votes, and subscriptions! Ash Ketchum, the evolved version of Ash, is here! Then there's the question of Ash's main Pokémon. Up to the Galar TV series, there are six main Pokémon of different types. Feel free to share your opinions in the comments. Anyway, aside from that, although I really like Ash, Charizard definitely has a place. Charizard and Electabuzz are both decided, and I haven't really thought of the other four Pokémon of different types yet.)

In fact, not only Xiaoxia, but also Xiaogang and Yukinari Oak were looking at the grown-up version of Ash with surprise and confusion. They really looked so alike.

Whether it's clothing, temperament, or facial features, he's almost a carbon copy of Xiao Zhi.

However, compared to the Ash they were familiar with, the boy in front of them was obviously taller, with more defined facial features, making him appear older and more handsome.

"Young man, do you know us?"

Oki Yukinari stood up from the beach chair, looked at the boy in front of him with curiosity, and asked.

Although he didn't know who the other person was, Oki Yukinari could sense that the other person meant him no harm.

Even the joy of meeting was genuine.

"Yeah, and... how come you look so much like Ash?"

Xiaoxia, holding Pikachu, spoke with the same question in mind. At the end, Xiaoxia glanced at Ash playing on the shore.

This is so incredibly similar!

"Forehead……"

Zhi (for easy identification) was taken aback upon hearing this, and following Xiaoxia's gaze, he saw Zhi.

Zhi patted his forehead, only then realizing that this wasn't his own world. It was understandable that Ooki Yukinari and the others would be puzzled when they saw him.

but……

As Ash looked at the 14 little Ashes on the shore, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

This is me in a parallel world! Is there really another version of myself?

"Professor Oak, are you really sure that Ash and Red don't have an older brother? Could it be that he's an illegitimate child that Aunt Hanako and Ash's father had together?"

Seeing the overflowing excitement in Xiao Zhi's eyes, Xiao Xia leaned close to Ooki Yukinari and whispered doubtfully.

"……this……"

Upon hearing this, Yukinari Oki quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Hanako and Satoshi's father's illegitimate son?"

In the past, Yukinari Ōki would have simply laughed off such an absurd thing, but now...

"I don't think so..." Ooki Yukinari looked at Satoshi, his heart wavering, and muttered hesitantly.

After all, they look so alike. Red and Ash, Green and Gary are twins, and these two pairs of brothers look strikingly similar.

But the boy in front of me looks just as much like Ash Ketchum.

"Um... I'm not Ash's older brother..."

Although Yukinari Oki and Misty spoke very softly, the intelligent senses possessing the power of Aura were still very sharp. He heard their conversation and explained somewhat awkwardly.

"You really do know Ash, so who are you, kid?"

Oki Yukinari looked at Satoshi with great interest; the boy in front of him seemed to be extremely familiar with them.

"I'm Ash!" Ash replied without hesitation, but then paused for a moment.

"No, I'm not Ash from your world, emmm... how should I put it."

Zhi frowned, looking somewhat troubled. Damn it, he was completely bad at these things.

Not Ash Ketchum from your world?

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were both stunned when they heard this, wondering what kind of nonsense it was.

Zhi scratched his head, struggling to find the words to explain his origins to the three of them, and finally...

Parallel worlds?

Oki Yukinari frowned, his graying brows furrowed. He really hadn't expected that the boy in front of him was from a parallel world.

As for whether the boy was lying, Ooki Yukinari could tell.

"Yes, a few days ago a mysterious uncle suddenly appeared. He was very strong. After the battle, he told me that there were parallel worlds."

"I can find very strong trainers here, so I came here."

Zhi described the situation with a hint of surprise, because he had already become a true powerhouse in his own world.

He had always been looking forward to a stronger opponent, so when the mysterious man told him that he could go to other worlds to find powerful trainers, Satoshi agreed without hesitation.

"This... is just too absurd..."

Xiaoxia was still somewhat incredulous, although she could tell that the boy in front of her didn't seem to be lying.

But parallel worlds and such are things that normal people wouldn't believe in, right?

"What?! I really didn't lie to you guys, Xiaoxia, you're still as gossipy as ever."

Zhi was very dissatisfied upon hearing this and habitually complained to Xiaoxia, even though in his world, Xiaoxia later left his traveling party to become the Cerulean City Gym Leader.

However, Pallet Town and Cerulean City are not far apart, and their friendship remains very strong.

"Gossip? Xiao Zhi, you bastard, how dare you call me a gossip!"

Xiaoxia immediately bristled upon hearing this. How could she, a dignified mermaid girl, be considered a gossip?

Zhi shrank back. Although he was older than Xiaoxia now, the impression of Xiaoxia's violence was still too deep.

"So, Ash, are you planning to challenge powerful trainers here?"

Xiao Gang sighed and asked Zhi curiously.

Although Ash's world is very magical, Brock believed about 70% of it, after all, the world is really too mysterious.

Who knows the mysteries of space and time?

Legendary time dragon Dialga and space dragon Palkia can control time and space, so just because they don't know about parallel worlds doesn't mean they don't exist, right?

"Yes! Of course! I came here to challenge powerful trainers! I'm really strong now!"

Upon hearing this, Zhi smiled and declared with great momentum.

Yes, the reason I came into this world is to challenge powerful trainers!

"But I'm also planning to meet a lot of people, hehe~ It's a really strange feeling."

However, Zhi then looked at the three people in front of him, and a look of great anticipation appeared on his handsome face.

"And this is Alola, right? I used to go to Pokémon School for a long time. I wonder if Kukui-sensei, Lillie, and Gladion are here at this time."

Then Zhi turned his gaze to the distance, his eyes filled with reminiscence, towards the direction of the Pokémon School in his memory, in his world.

He studied at the Pokémon School for a long time, and eventually, when the Alola League was formed, he defeated his final opponent, Kukui, and became the first champion of the Alola League!

That was his first championship! Even now, Tomoya still cherishes that memory.

"Tch~ If it were Ash, it definitely wouldn't work, even if it were Ash so many years later."

Xiaoxia looked at Zhi, who exuded a cheerful and confident aura, her eyes sparkling with admiration. But after regaining her composure, she still pretended to purse her lips in disdain.

"What?! I'm really, really strong! I've become a Pokémon Master!"

Zhi was extremely dissatisfied upon hearing this. How could he be looked down upon! He truly was now at the pinnacle of the world!

"I'm the strongest in our area! The strongest trainer! Even Cynthia, Lance, and Leon were defeated by me!"

Zhi looked at Xiaoxia with a serious expression and stated his case earnestly. Although his face was still the same, at this moment, Zhi was exuding an unparalleled and intense conviction.

Ooki Yuki's cloudy eyes flickered slightly. Champion's will? No, it seems to be even more outstanding.

"If that's the case, then prove it to us. Here comes Akane."

Misty naturally sensed Ash's extraordinary qualities, but defeating Lance? Can Ash really do that in the future?

Xiaoxia didn't know, but if the person in front of her really was from a parallel world, Xiaozhi probably wouldn't lie.

It doesn't matter, we'll find out if it's true or not by trying, right?

"Aka?" Zhi blinked. Who was Aka? He had no idea such a person existed.

Zhi turned around curiously, and was suddenly stunned. What he saw was a handsome young man with a quiet demeanor.

Zhi tilted his head in bewilderment. Wait, why does this person look so much like me?

"Ok?"

Crimson stopped and looked at the boy in front of her, her brows furrowing slightly. "Zhi?"

After hesitating for a moment, Red still spoke up in doubt. Even as Ash's older brother, Red wasn't sure if the person in front of him was his younger brother.

"you are?"

Zhi also looked at Chi with a blank expression. He really didn't know who this person who looked so much like him was.

"He's Red, Ash's twin. Don't you have Red in your world?"

Xiaoxia tilted her head in confusion when she saw that Zhizhen really didn't recognize Chihong.

“…I am an only child.” Zhi was even more puzzled when he heard this, as he did not have any twin brothers.

My parallel universe self seems to be a little different.

Zhi looked at Xiao Zhi, who still hadn't noticed them. Indeed, he hadn't even noticed it himself.

If it really was the same trajectory, how could Misty and Brock have been by his side when he arrived in Alora?
