Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile-Chapter 673 - 361: Charizard’s Exclusive Black Flames! Gary’s Parallel Counterpart—Green!

Chapter 673: Chapter 361: Charizard’s Exclusive Black Flames! Gary’s Parallel Counterpart—Green!

Without the rainy boosts, the water surrounding Blastoise became even weaker, while Charizard, free from the rain’s interference, saw the black flames on its body burn more fiercely!

In this give-and-take situation, Blastoise could no longer withstand Charizard’s Flare Blitz, and its entire body was completely engulfed by the flames!

"Boom!!" The deafening sound echoed through the sky from the battlefield. Professor Oak knew that the explosive aftermath wouldn’t spread beyond the grounds, but instinctively he still raised his hand in front of him, only lowering it several seconds later.

The smoke and dust on the battlefield slowly dispersed, revealing Charizard, entirely blackened, standing on a scorched and pitted ground, breathing heavily, with flame-like dragon teeth around the corners of its mouth dwindling weakly—the previous blow had exhausted nearly all of its strength.

Flare Blitz has a rebound damage, and coupled with the harm from Blastoise’s Wave Crash, Charizard’s current condition is quite poor, even standing is difficult, but Blastoise’s situation is even dire.

Blastoise lay on the ground, reverting from MEGA evolution to its normal state, with no part of its body unscathed, overall resembling a charred piece of coal.

Judging by this situation, Blastoise not only lost its fighting ability, but it almost owed Charizard another life.

’Blastoise lost battle capability, Charizard wins.’ Mewtwo glanced at Blastoise and then waved an arm, announcing the result of the battle.

With Mewtwo’s voice resonating in everyone’s hearts, the barrier on the field was lifted. Mewtwo shrugged, stabilizing Blastoise’s condition using superpower, as its current state might not even last until treatment at a Pokemon Center.

There is no Pokemon Center in Pallet Town, only more basic treatments at Oak’s Research Institute, and the injuries Blastoise suffered couldn’t be treated with simple methods. Without Mewtwo here, Blastoise was in real danger.

"Blastoise, how are you?" Gary rushed over to Blastoise, finding its condition better than he expected. Though it looked severely injured, Blastoise could at least open its eyes and even manage to sit up from the ground.

"Ka-me..." Blastoise looked at its turtle claws in confusion. Just moments ago, it felt it was nearing the heavens, yet suddenly its body recovered significantly, allowing it to sit up.

From its experience, suffering such severe injuries would normally take three to four days to recover, who did this?

’I gave him a simple treatment, but this is the most I could manage, leaving the rest to Ash’s Power of Viridian for healing.’ Mewtwo approached, explaining why Blastoise was still relatively stable.

Upon learning of Mewtwo’s intervention, Gary wore a relieved expression, no wonder Blastoise looked quite well, although further combat seemed challenging, it was far from losing consciousness—Mewtwo had indeed tended to it.

"Seems Ash won this time, but Gary, where did you go this month to make such a leap?" Professor Oak exhaled after seeing Blastoise unharmed, then clasped his hands behind his back, inquiring casually.

Gary is his grandson, whose prowess at the Quartz Conference was well-noted, now within a mere month achieving a leap in progress was unprecedented. A fifteen-year-old trainer with Elite Pokemon is rare in a century, and this year there were two!

Both from Pallet Town, indeed a miracle.

Ash’s growth though phenomenal, did follow a traceable path of steady progress. Gary, on the other hand...his growth curve seemed unusual, a month matching two to three months of effort, evidently a result of some fortuitous encounter.

"Let’s return to Oak’s Research Institute first, Ash, Blastoise’s care is in your hands." Gary didn’t conceal anything from his grandfather, but currently Blastoise was gravely wounded, discussions would be better at the institute while being treated.

With Ash’s Power of Viridian aid, complemented by the recovery machines at Oak’s Research Institute, theoretically, the recovery shouldn’t be inferior to a Pokemon Center.

The miraculous nature of the Power of Viridian was already demonstrated by Ash. Such legendary force certainly was unrivaled.

...

Inside Oak’s Research Institute, Ash combined the machine treatments with his powers for Blastoise’s injuries, while Gary recounted his adventures of the past month.

"You wouldn’t believe it, but I acquired powers from a Parallel World." Gary uttered astonishingly, almost causing Ash to sever the Power of Viridian.

Even though Ash restrained himself, his hands couldn’t help but tremble, his pupils shrinking suddenly.

Professor Oak at the side displayed outright disbelief, as talk of Parallel World powers seemed preposterous.

Parallel Worlds theoretically could exist due to differing choices leading to varying future divergences.

On a forked path, choosing one side versus the other yields different results, but once a choice is made, the alternative remains unknown—Parallel World is derived from such hypothetical theories.

In another world, perhaps the self who chose the other path exists, yet it’s merely theoretical, with no proof of such worlds existing.

Even scholarly Professor Oak initially doubted it, but despite Gary’s arrogance, his eyes above others, he wasn’t one to deceive, particularly concerning something crucial.

Gary, of course, has changed from his past demeanor; nowadays he doesn’t evoke such perceptions, partly leading Professor Oak to somewhat trust in the Parallel World’s existence.

As for Ash...there’s no need for elaboration; none knows Parallel Worlds better than him!

In his mind lies a chat group linking all Parallel World versions of himself!

Ninety percent of his achievements could be attributed to this group in his mind...maybe ninety-five; ninety seems too little.

The remaining five percent arises from his inherent potential, as even with a divine-level assistance like a chat group, one can’t elevate a mess to a primary fighter, so his inherent potential indeed warrants five percent.

Ash has always kept the ability to communicate with Parallel Worlds as his deepest secret, even Pikachu is unaware; conversely, Gary...announced it outright!

That’s terribly blunt! Compared to Gary, why does Ash feel more secretive?

Maybe he should confess as well?

"Yes, it’s the power of a Parallel World. After leaving Dragon Island, my original plan was to head to Johto, training while joining the Silver Conference, but on the way to New Bark Town, I accidentally got sucked into something resembling a black hole, inside which I gained memories belonging to a Parallel World version of myself."

"In that world, I’m not Gary, I’m...Green! In that world, I became a Champion Level Trainer in just two years, the world’s youngest Champion!"
