Pokémon: Simultaneous time travel, this Ash is too versatile

Chapter 28 Misty's Pokémon Levels: Ash Seizes Pidgeotto's Fate by the Back of the Neck.

Xiao Zhi in the group is at the pinnacle of his respective field, and everyone in the group is an extraordinary figure in their own world.

But this also means that they have already reached their limit; they can only stand at the pinnacle of one field.

If they want to change careers or learn other knowledge and skills, unless there is something in common between the two, such as Tactical Ash and Champion Ash, they will not learn knowledge in other fields. Even if they do learn, they will not be able to stand at the top of that field like other Ashes.

But the newcomer, Xiao Zhi, is different. He doesn't know anything, but he's also at the stage where he can learn anything.

The Ash in the group represents the potential for Ash to develop in other directions in each parallel world. In other words, theoretically, the new Ash possesses the potential of Ash from all parallel worlds.

He has the potential to become a breeder, a tactical master, a top trainer, a top fisherman, a mechanic, a chef, and so on.

Therefore, the various Ashes in the group discussed and agreed on one thing: to train the new Ash into an unprecedented all-around Ash!

If he could really do it, the impact on Ash's world would be terrifying. Perhaps... he could do something that none of Ash could do: defeat Arceus, the creator god of the Pokémon world!

However, these are all just wishful thinking. Whether they can be achieved depends on how much potential the newbie Xiaozhi can unleash and whether he is willing to learn from the people in the group.

Fortunately, even though there was a lot to learn in the group, the newbie Ash never gave up. He was truly willing to give everything to become a Pokémon Master.

The people in the group didn't tell him their expectations or the goals they wanted Ash to achieve, because doing so would put too much pressure on Ash.

Ash is making steady progress, and everything is moving in a positive direction.

……

After Ash prepared food for Metapod and Pikachu, he also asked Misty to release her Pokémon.

Xiaoxia's Pokémon include Goldeen and two others that can survive on land. However, they cannot survive on land for long periods of time, otherwise they will run out of water. But they can still be released to eat without any problem.

"Come out, my sweetheart~~" Xiaoxia cried out as she released her two sprites: a brown starfish with a small gem in the center, and a water-blue starfish with a dazzling ruby ​​in the center.

Starmie is the evolved form of Staryu, which Ash learned from the group. So Ash was a little confused as to how Misty caught two Pokémon of the same kind.

However, these are all unimportant matters. This is the first time Xiaoxia has released her Pokémon in three days. Pokémon maintain minimal energy consumption inside their Poké Balls, so it doesn't matter if they don't eat for a week.

This was the first time Ash had ever seen Misty's Pokémon level—Elite!

Gemstone Starfish, the pinnacle of elites.

Sea Starfish, Elite High-Level.

One is just one step away from professional level, and the other is already at the elite advanced level. No wonder Xiaoxia said those things back then.

If Pikachu had been able to defeat Misty's two Pokémon at that time, its chances of winning would have been virtually zero.

As for now... who knows?

Xiaoxia had some of the Pokémon food that Starmie and the others used, but she didn't have much, and the brand was one that Ash had never seen before.

"Xiaoxia, where did you buy this? The logo on this food... why is it a teardrop-shaped logo?" Xiaozhi asked curiously, looking at the teardrop logo on the Starmie food packaging.

Like the Pokémon food sold in shopping malls and supermarkets, they all have manufacturer logos, but Ash knows all the big brands' logos, while he's never seen Misty's before.

"Um... haha, this is produced by a small water-type Pokémon food supplier. It's not well-known, so it's normal that you don't know it."

"Is that so? Xiaoxia, are you hiding something from me?"

"What could I possibly be hiding from you? You're just being overly sensitive, aren't you?"

"Really?" Ash's face gradually got closer to Misty's, making Misty break out in a cold sweat. Just when Ash was less than five centimeters away from Misty's face, he suddenly pulled away.

"Well, we've only been together for a few days, so it's normal that there are many things I can't say. But I believe that as we spend more time together, you'll definitely trust me," Xiao Zhi said with his hands on his hips and a big smile on his face.

"Together...? More like traveling together!!"

"Huh? Aren't they the same?"

"It's different!!"

……

After a minor incident, the two and the elves enjoyed a pleasant lunch together.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two packed up and prepared to rest before continuing their journey. Just then, a flash of light appeared, its target pointing directly at Metapod next to Ash.

Ash reacted quickly, grabbing the figure that was about to attack Metapod and seizing control of its fate by the back of its neck.

"What is that? Pidgeotto?" Ash caught the creature and then saw what it looked like. It turned out to be Pidgeotto, the evolved form of Pidgey, the Kanto native bird.

Pidgey is a common Flying-type Pokémon in the Kanto region, and like Spearow, it is known as a local bird. However, Pidgey has a gentle temperament, making it more suitable for novice trainers.

However, things change when Pidgey evolves into Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto's temperament is no less than that of Spearow, making it a Pokémon that is difficult for beginners to control.

But no matter how fierce one's temperament is, if a human grabs the back of one's neck during a high-speed dive and there is no power to resist, one's temperament will become docile.

Is this even human?

"Hey, what are you trying to do to my Metapod?" Ash held up Pidgeotto, a malicious glint in his eyes.

This guy clearly wants to eat his armored pupa!

"Pip... Pidgey..." Pidgey's forehead was covered in a few beads of sweat. He said that he hadn't done anything, but he just felt more comfortable with Metapod, so he came over to say hello.

"Yeah?"

"Bibi!!"

"Then I'll take your word for it. Let's have a battle. If you win, you can go. If you lose, you'll become my Pokémon."

"Compare?"

"What?" Not to mention Pidgey, even Misty was completely bewildered. Why was a catching battle suddenly about to begin?

Over the past few days, Ash has encountered quite a few Pokémon, but apart from Caterpie, he hasn't made a move. He also encountered Spearow and Pidgey along the way, but he didn't catch them either.

Why would Ash want to catch this Pidgey after encountering it? Doesn't he want to start training it from Pidgey?

The answer, of course, could not be what Xiaoxia guessed.

Ash wanted to catch this Pidgeotto because of... the advice from the experts in the group and the fact that this Pidgeotto had strong enough potential.
