Chapter 104 Ash the Novice Trainer? Ash the Battlefield Killer!
Is this the power of Tokiwa?
Ash felt the power flowing within his body that was completely different from the Aura, and he mentally compared the differences between the two powers.
Compared to the power of the Aura, the power of the Viridian is much gentler and has no offensive capabilities.
Normal aura power is not offensive, but if you want to use aura power to attack, then aura power will become the sharpest blade, and if you want to use aura power to defend, it will become the strongest barrier.
But the power of the eternal flame is no good; this thing cannot be transformed into any form at all, it can only flow as energy.
The A-rank Tokiwa Power, in terms of both quality and quantity, is incomparable to the Aura Power within his body.
However, this is only a comparison of Aura Power. If we measure the power of Viridian Power by the level of the Pokémon, Ash feels that it is at least a bit stronger than the power contained in Alakazam at the peak of the Elite Four.
In other words, this power can even heal champion-level Pokémon.
One of Ash's biggest weaknesses was that if he encountered a Pokémon that was seriously injured, he could only barely keep it alive with Aura.
Like the Charmander before, if he didn't have the Rainbow Wing, all he could do was use Aura to forcibly stabilize Charmander's Aura. Even after he arrived at the Pokémon Center, the situation would still be extremely dangerous.
Riolu is perfectly suited to the power of waveguides, which is why it was able to be revived using waveguides.
If it were any other Pokémon that turned into Riolu, even with Ash's powerful Aura, it would be a hopeless situation.
Now that we have the power of Tokiwa, that situation can finally be changed.
In terms of healing, the power of Tokiwa is far superior to the power of Aura!
With this thing, Riolu's recovery time can be shortened considerably. It used to take nearly twenty days, but now... well, we'll have to try it to find out.
Furthermore, if any of his Pokémon are injured in the wild, Ash can use the power of Viridian to heal them.
From now on, we can give him a nickname: "Miracle Healer"!
"Hey, Ash, are you too tired? What are you grinning about?" Misty looked at Ash, who was inexplicably smiling, and her whole body trembled involuntarily.
Drinking a beverage and suddenly showing such a strange smile, could it be that he's possessed by a ghost?
"Hmm? Cough cough, nothing, just thought of something happy."
"What's making you happy?"
"Well, it's just that a power suddenly awakened within me, which is extremely beneficial for the healing and recovery of Pokémon." Ash could only briefly explain one of the functions of Viridian Power.
After all, it would be too strange if he knew all the abilities of this power without ever having used it.
Even so, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang looked at Xiaozhi as if he were a monster.
Dude, you just dozed off for a second and then said you'd awakened some new power? Are you kidding me?!
What's wrong? Did playing against Sabrina open up your meridians?
God, a new power has awakened again. This is as simple as saying I just drank a bottle of mineral water.
That doesn't make any sense at all!
"It's true, let me show you." Ash said, placing his hand on Pikachu. Pikachu on the table looked at Ash's hand curiously, with a puzzled expression on its face.
The next second, a force was transmitted to him!
"Pika~~~" A comfortable groan came from Pikachu, the feeling was like eating an ice cream on a hot summer day, incredibly comfortable!
My feet, which were a little sore from walking, no longer feel sore at all. It's like I've been resting in the recovery equipment at the Fairy Center all night. It feels amazing!
Seeing the blissful expression on Pikachu's face, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang exchanged glances.
No way? He really awakened a new ability!
"You should try it on Misty too," Ash said, moving his hand away from Pikachu and then covering Misty's hand that was holding the cold drink.
Xiaoxia blushed slightly. How come this guy is so used to holding hands now? Don't say this doesn't count as holding hands, how can it not count as holding hands when you're actually holding hands?
Before Xiaoxia could speak, a warm current surged from her palm into her heart, flowing through her limbs and bones, and the fatigue from walking for most of the day seemed to be released in that instant.
"Ah~~ Ugh!!" As soon as Xiaoxia shouted, she felt something was wrong, so she quickly covered her mouth with her other hand, forcibly silencing the rest of the sound.
The sound was fine when it came from Pikachu, but when it came from her, it had a very strange feel to it and was easy to misunderstand.
You could tell just by looking at the strange expression on Xiaogang's face. He looked at Xiaozhi, then at Xiaoxia, and his expression gradually changed.
Seeing this, Xiaoxia blushed and opened her mouth, saying somewhat angrily, "Xiaozhi, let Xiaogang experience it too."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
"Ah~? Ugh!!" Xiao Gang, who felt the same way, quickly covered his mouth. He finally understood why Xiao Xia made that strange sound. This thing really felt good!
What kind of weird power did Ash awaken? How can it make people feel so good? Just the energy flowing into my body feels like I've had a full-body massage, it's amazing!
"Now you believe me, right? I really have awakened a new power." Ash released Brock's hand and said with a smile.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then nodded in agreement. They had no choice but to believe it; the comfort was undeniable. It was a power completely different from the Aura Force, and it was extremely beneficial to both spirits and humans.
"What the hell? Ash, how come you suddenly awakened your powers again? Are you some kind of legendary Pokémon reincarnated?"
"You know what, it's not only good at fighting, but it also has so many strange powers and can talk to spirits. Maybe it really was a mythical beast in its past life."
The two of them took turns talking, while Xiao Zhi helplessly retorted, "What reincarnation? This is all power that I obtained through my own efforts!"
Even in a parallel world, you are still yourself.
Misty and Brock had no clue about this power, and although Ash knew it was the power of Viridian, he couldn't say it directly.
The only way to find information about the power of Tokiwa was to find it later and then, by chance, reveal it.
Ash's new ability was quickly put aside. By then, they had finished shopping and resting. In addition, Ash used the power of Viridian to restore them, so they were now full of energy.
So the three decided to continue to the next gym.
The Rainbow Gym isn't far from the Goldenrod Gym; it would take less than a week to get there if you're quick. As long as they didn't get lost, the three of them first went to the Pokémon Center. Ash told Professor Oak about their victory over the Goldenrod Gym and then teleported Gengar back to Professor Oak's lab.
Gengar didn't transform back into Gastly at this point, perhaps because it found the constant transformations too troublesome and decided to simply remain in its Gengar form.
After teleporting back to Gengar and obtaining Pidgeotto, Ash told Professor Oak to give Gengar some treatment before hanging up the phone.
Professor Oak had wanted to ask about the details of the battle, but instead he was met with a completely black screen.
Professor Oak rolled his eyes in exasperation and then released Gengar.
One of the parties involved has passed away, but isn't there still another one? Even if it's not a party involved, it could be a ghost involved in the incident.
Ash set off for Celadon City once again, first giving the weighted vests he had bought to Pikachu and Charmeleon.
There are only three possible users for the weighted vest: Kirlia, Pikachu, and Charmeleon.
Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Pidgeotto can't wear this thing, and even if they could, it would look strange. Riolu hasn't recovered at all and can't even do basic training, let alone use the weighted vest.
Of the three Pokémon, Kirlia was eliminated because the little guy wasn't suited for close combat. Even if it trained with a weighted vest, the effect wouldn't be as good as Charmeleon or Pikachu, which prefer close-quarters combat.
Of course, in reality, this is all because Ash doesn't have money. If he had money, he wouldn't care about suitability or priority; he would just equip all the Pokémon and be done with it!
Money isn't everything, but you really can't do anything without it!
So Ash has already started thinking about ways to make money, which is wild battles, or wild battles for short!
Wild battles are something that often happen in the wild. Ash has battled many wild trainers before, but he has basically never gambled on anything.
On the one hand, Ash was just a newbie at that time, belonging to the lowest level of society. If he encountered a slightly stronger trainer, wouldn't he lose his underwear in no time?
On the other hand, Satoshi doesn't have a gambling habit; Hanako has always told him not to get involved in this bad habit.
However, after being out for a while, Ash discovered that fighting in the wild is not gambling. Gambling relies on luck, while this kind of battle relies on skill and strength, so how can it be called gambling?
The real reason was that he was short of money, and Xiaogang and Xiaoxia did not object to him, but even encouraged him to engage in wild battles. These high-pressure battles could actually push both trainers and Pokémon to their limits, which would be helpful for their own growth, so it wasn't a bad thing.
All these reasons led to the appearance of a killing god on the road between Golden City and Rainbow City.
Six days later at noon—"Charizard, breathe fire!!"
"Pipika, get out of the way!"
A young man in his early twenties directed the Pidgey, which had been knocked to the ground, to dodge, but the burn marks on the Pidgey's body proved how serious the attack he had just suffered.
At this moment, Pidgey was struggling to even flap its wings, let alone dodge.
The blazing orange-red flames covered Pidgey's body directly. After a moment, the flames dissipated, revealing Pidgey on the ground, charred black.
"The outcome is decided, Charmeleon wins." Brock waved his hand, declaring the winner.
The young man slumped down, his eyes vacant, an expression of disbelief on his face: "How could this be? How could I lose to a newcomer who's only been in the industry for a little over a month? How is this possible?"
Ash walked up to Pidgeotto, whose feathers were charred black and which even emitted a faint fragrance. He placed his hand on Pidgeotto, and the power of Viridian within him surged.
A few seconds later, Pidgey's condition had improved considerably, and it was no longer in mortal danger.
After obtaining the power of Viridian, Ash no longer needs to hold back in many battles. Before, he was afraid of hurting the opponent's Pokémon too much, and what to do if there was no Pokémon Center nearby.
Now there's no need to think about that kind of thing; he can treat himself, just like he is now.
"Nothing is impossible. I've lost to a lot of people along the way. Here's the agreed-upon five thousand dollars." Ash picked up Pidgey and brought it to the young man, demanding his spoils from this battle.
"You've lost to so many people! Are you some kind of rumored 'battlefield killer' lately?!"
Xiao Zhi: —.
What the hell is this? They've even brought out a field assassin.
Who came up with these nicknames?
"I don't know anything about 'battle killers.' I'm just a new trainer. Here, this is your Pidgeotto. I've already given it some basic treatment. It's not in any danger. But it's not right not to check on your Pokémon right after a battle, okay? Remember that."
Being lectured by someone several years younger than himself, the young man gave a wry smile, then took the Pidgey: "I understand, thanks for the reminder. Here, this is five thousand."
The young man took out five thousand yuan from his spatial backpack and handed it to Xiao Zhi. Xiao Zhi didn't even count it, but simply stuffed it into his own backpack, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.
The money won in this gambling battle was quite substantial. Most people would only win one or two thousand, while those who dared to gamble five thousand were a very small minority.
Only someone who is extremely confident in their own abilities, or who thinks they've encountered an easy opponent, would take such a big gamble.
Ash's status as a novice trainer is the best way to deceive outsiders.
Even if others see that Ash has a Pokédex and know that he is not an ordinary newbie, they will still be overjoyed to agree to a battle with Ash after seeing that Ash has traveled for a month and a half in his Pokédex.
The result was predictable; they were beaten so badly they couldn't even find their way north!
In just six days, Ash managed to swindle nearly 100,000 coins on the road from Saffron City to Celadon City, using his new status as a Trainer. He also battled more than 60 people in those six days!
If Ash didn't have the power of Viridian, his Pokémon probably wouldn't have been able to withstand these repeated battles.
It was precisely because of these crazy battles that Ash's reputation gradually spread along this path—the title of "Battle Killer" was truly given to Ash!
If Ash stays on this path a little longer, he'll become a household name, and then even his status as a beginner trainer won't be enough.
