Chapter 258 Super Newcomer Three
This was the morning of the second day after Ash and his friends left Ecruteak City and set off for Celadon City.
After a full day of travel yesterday, they have officially left the area of Enoki City and arrived at a continuous mountain range on their only route.
Currently, only Ash, Misty, and their Pokémon are here.
Because Brock had to take a detour to attend a breeder's conference, he had to part ways with Ash and the others halfway through.
Xiao Zhi was quite sad to see someone with such excellent cooking skills suddenly disappear from his cooking team.
After all, Xiaoxia's cooking skills were really hard to praise; it was already a miracle that she could even swallow it.
They even had an argument because of this.
However, to Xiaozhi's surprise, although Xiaoxia's cooking skills were not good, her eloquence was getting better and better.
With his little mouth opening and closing and his tongue flying up and down, Xiao Zhi was completely unable to refute him.
After enduring Misty's kisses for half an hour, Little Ash finally gave in.
After the bet was over, Xiao Zhi accepted his defeat and chose to take over all the meals from now on.
"Is this what it feels like for the Great Demon King to be defeated by the hero he personally trained? —" To be honest, it feels kind of satisfying.
Anyway, Ash did most of the cooking before, so he was already used to it.
Even Ash's chef level has unknowingly reached level six through daily practice and improvement.
With just a little more effort and some flashing effects, Ash's cooking seems capable of making people's clothes explode.
Unfortunately, Ash has no interest in becoming the Medicine King; right now, he just wants to cross this snow mountain and reach Azure City as quickly as possible.
"Xiao Zhi, although the altitude here is very high, the scenery is really beautiful."
The surrounding area was covered in white snow, and the light snowflakes falling gently from the sky gave the place a very beautiful and idyllic feel.
If it weren't for the fact that it shouldn't be snowing in summer, Ash would probably be enjoying the snow with Misty.
"The weather here seems a bit strange." Ash tugged at his clothes, even though he was wearing short sleeves in Ecruteak City.
"Moreover, the surrounding area is deserted and there are no wild Pokémon."
Unlike Misty, who focused on the scenery around her, Ash's eyes never stopped searching for wild Pokémon.
Unfortunately, not a single one was found.
"This can't go on, who's going to fill the gap in my battle skills?" Ash gritted his teeth and took off his shirt.
Today, he will personally accompany his Pokémon in a fierce battle.
Xiaoxia caught the clothes thrown at her and looked helplessly at the excited Xiaozhi.
"Sigh~ Ash, shouldn't you be holding your girlfriend's hand and taking a walk in the snow together at a time like this?"
"Xiaoxia, we were just doing something like that. Now let's get our bodies aroused with a battle!"
77
Although he can't transform into Ultraman, Ash also hates the cold.
They immediately released the Pokémon they were going to train that day and began a heated battle.
"That was hardly a stroll!"
Xiaoxia wanted a romantic snow walk where there were no foreign objects inside her body, her feet could touch the ground normally, her chin wouldn't ache, and her jaw wouldn't hurt.
Unfortunately, as Ash and his Pokémon drifted further and further away, Misty could only follow.
"Seriously, I'm never taking care of you again!"
The Brave Bird launches a fierce attack: "Hahaha, the Night Hawk is attacking with Air Blade!"
"Coo! Coo!"
In the sky, Xiao Zhi's entire body was enveloped in crystal, and the crystal gem on his head was different from the ordinary ugly light bulb.
Instead, it extends along his hair down his back, forming a shape like Super Saiyan 3's hairstyle, with flickering electric currents appearing and disappearing on it.
The air blades launched by Noctowl with its powerful flapping of its wings seemed to have no effect on Ash, not even producing a spark.
This is the Super Rookie 3 that Ash finally achieved after a long period of training, combining with the Crystallization!
Looking back on his training journey, Ash felt that it hadn't been easy, as he had even trained the Crystallize ability to its highest level.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your ability has been upgraded from Crystallization LV3 to LV4 (when using a skill of the same type as Crystallization, its power is reduced to 1.5 times the original value).]
Double, too much crystallization won't be removed until your stamina is depleted!
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your ability has been upgraded from Crystallization LV4 to LVma (when using a move of the same type as Crystallization, its power is increased by 2 times).]
[Double, the crystallization won't dissipate until your stamina is depleted!]
[Congratulations, host, on achieving the achievement "You are the new Tailugui Turtle?": The Taijing ability has been upgraded to its highest level.]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +4000; Defense +2; Special Defense +2; Free Attribute Points +3; Skill: Crystal Burst]
Although Ash seems to have heard that Crystallization is an ability that can only be used in specific regions.
Once you leave those locations, even if you have a Crystal Orb, which is essential for Pokémon to Crystallize, you will no longer be able to use Crystallize.
However, Ash doesn't have this problem; he can crystallize anytime, anywhere if he wants.
He has now mastered the use of Taijing transformation to perfection, and can change Taijing attributes as freely as breathing during battle.
Look at Goku; he can't change his hair color until he becomes a Super Saiyan God, while Ash can change his hair color like a karaoke character in Super Saiyan 3.
Like a dazzling array of lights, it changes and shines at will.
The newcomers are far superior to the Saiyans!
However, if he gets carried away in battle, Ash will still feel the pinch when he sees the cost of his Crystal type afterward.
After all, it costs 50 to change attributes once, but it's no big deal. Xiao Zhi has money now. Although these expenses seem scary, they are just a drop in the ocean compared to his total assets.
All that money was earned for this moment.
Compared to the thrill of battle, everything else is secondary; it's just that Ash's miserly mentality, ingrained from his past poverty, remains unchanged.
Ash, now in Super Rookie 3, exudes a powerful aura as he laughs wildly while maneuvering through the air with Noctowl.
On the ground, Pikachu, Chikorita, Crocodile, and Rockruff were constantly launching attacks to harass Ash in the sky.
Taking advantage of Ash turning his head to deal with the ground attack, the Noctowl in the sky seized the opportunity to use Hypnosis, but Ash easily detected it and dodged it.
"No, Night Hawk, your hypnotic release was too slow, you missed a golden opportunity, and the accuracy was too low."
As Ash's Pokémon, a master of hypnosis, how could his hypnosis fail?
No one understands hypnosis better than him. We need to make the Night Hawk train hard to improve the success rate of his hypnosis.
Meanwhile, the four little creatures on the ground unleashed a variety of skills, which Ash easily dodged by dodging and weaving in the air.
Then, with a backhand blast of Electric Crystal, he knocked the five Pokémon off their feet.
That's what makes a true newbie so amazing!
Soon Ash landed from the sky with Noctowl, and the training session came to a temporary end.
As soon as he landed, Chikorita immediately flew over and snuggled into Ash's arms.
"Chirp, chirp~"
During the training just now, Chicory Leaf was the one who was swinging the leaf blade the hardest. The little guy is very aware of the danger now.
Because its contemporaries, such as the Fire Rock Rat and Blue Crocodile, have already evolved to the second stage, while it hasn't evolved yet.
Ash loves battling and powerful Pokémon, and Chikorita feels that if he doesn't evolve, Ash's love might be stolen by the other two.
Therefore, it is now training extremely hard, hoping to evolve as quickly as possible.
Of course, Xiao Zhi noticed this too.
"Chrysanthemum Leaf, you've already tried your best, but if you overdo it and hurt your body, it'll be putting the cart before the horse."
"Whether you evolve or not, my love for you will never change."
"This is my eternal vow to you, my dearest!"
"whisper!"
Ash's firm words deeply moved Chikorita.
[Ding! Chicory Leaf: Affection +5: Intimacy +5]
When it comes to coaxing Pokémon, a Pokémon Master needs to be a smooth talker.
Actually, these are all cheesy pickup lines that Ash usually says to Misty, but I didn't expect them to work on Pokémon as well.
Of course, everything said here is true; Ash wouldn't lie about something like this.
"That concludes today's training. Everyone performed very well."
After training, you can have a friendly interaction with your Pokémon by poking its head hard. This will increase your affinity and intimacy with it.
Once the Pokémon had all run off to play, Ash lowered his head and began to ponder again.
The reason he came down from the sky so quickly was because both Super Saiyan 3 and Super Saiyan 3 have a very serious problem.
That is, the battery life is too poor.
With both crystallization and flight consuming Ash's aura power, his mana bar dropped too quickly.
Ash wasn't entirely satisfied with the duration of Super Rookie 3, and he needed to find a way to solve this problem.
Ash's flight ability now allows him to use aura power as fuel, resulting in a significant leap in speed.
However, just like a high-powered fuel engine, waveguide power is consumed extremely quickly during flight.
The faster you fly, the faster you consume energy. In addition, the consumption of crystallization during battles made Ash feel that he didn't have enough energy for the first time since his Aura Power reached its maximum level.
But Ash's Aura power has indeed been trained to its limit.
"Is there a way to further increase the total amount of waveguide power?"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Millionaire, Super Millionaire!": Please increase your savings to one trillion Alliance Coins!]
【奖励:联盟币+1;攻击+3:体力+3,自由属性点+4:索财灵硬币+666;解锁「乾坤一掷」功能】
[A desperate gamble: This ability converts the system's deposit amount into personal energy (based on the host's current total Aura Power; 252 million Alliance Coins can be converted into 1% energy)]
"Are you kidding me? What does this mission even mean?!"
One trillion is an astronomical figure. Even if Xiaozhi added up all the fixed assets of the group, he wouldn't have that much, let alone working capital like deposits.
Xiao Zhi's total monthly income is currently around 200 million Alliance Coins, even without the company expanding its business and with its past channel operations performing well.
Even if we calculate based on the highest return, if Xiaozhi saves 200 million a month, it would take more than 400 years to save up to 1 trillion.
"Damn it, the rewards for regular missions are usually several thousand Alliance Coins."
"?"
"And why is the reward for completing the mission only one Alliance Coin? Who are they trying to humiliate?!"
If they already have a trillion, Ash wouldn't care about this one League Coin.
The most important question is why it's only 252 million Alliance Coins to convert 1% of the energy? There are just too many flaws.
Could we do it the other way around? Ash is willing to exchange one percent of his energy for 252 million League Coins.
Ash's stinginess has really kicked in. If he continues to consume energy at this rate, he'll really be spending money like water during battles.
Let's just pretend we didn't see this task.
At most, I'll give Sundae and Kojiro a good dressing down later. If we can finish it, great; if not, it doesn't matter.
"Perhaps I should try to find a solution from other energy sources."
Ash's first thought was about superpowers, since he still had a mission to complete.
Once you raise the affection and intimacy levels of one of his pinkish-purple Hakimi to 50, you can unlock your superpower.
With two different blue bars supplying energy, the energy shortage problem should be greatly alleviated.
It's a pity that although Mewtwo's affection level has reached 70, its intimacy level is still only 40.
Hakimi is not friendly at all; he's a real bad guy.
When I let the Pokémon out together, Mewtwo always stays inside its ball and refuses to come out.
What does Mewtwo actually like?
Instead of figuring it out himself, Ash decided to ask it directly, summoning the pinkish-purple Hakimi from the snow.
"What are you doing?"
Mewtwo has never been very friendly towards Ash for calling it out.
Although its body will obediently follow Ash's commands every time, it will always show its resistance verbally, which makes it quite a tsundere.
"Mewtwo, I want to become loving and affectionate with you. Tell me how I can do that!"
"what?"
Ash's question left Mewtwo speechless.
"Never in my lifetime!"
"Our relationship will only get better the day you get hit by a meteorite!"
"What a ridiculous question!" Mewtwo's face immediately turned cold, and it wanted to go back into its Poké Ball.
Suddenly, Ash and Mewtwo looked up and saw a meteorite hurtling towards Ash's location.
"What? How is this possible!" Mewtwo looked at Ash in disbelief, while Ash was equally dumbfounded.
Mewtwo really just said it offhand, and Ash really didn't do anything.
Where did this meteorite come from?
However, seeing that the meteorite was about to hit Ash, Mewtwo, despite his reluctance, used his psychic powers to stop it.
Then Mewtwo immediately returned to its Poké Ball, and the meteorite wobbled and landed in front of Ash.
It was then that Ash realized this was not an ordinary meteorite, but a large block of ice, inside which was a Sun Seed.
"Sigh, why would a sunflower seed fall from the sky?"
The commotion caused by the falling meteorite attracted the attention of the surrounding creatures, who all gathered around the frozen sunflower seed to observe it.
Suddenly, a strong wind picked up, and the light snow that had been falling slowly began to intensify, showing signs of turning into a blizzard.
"That's strange, the weather forecast said there wouldn't be any heavy snow this month." Xiaoxia looked at the thick clouds in the sky with great confusion.
Because of the existence of Psychic-type Pokémon in the Pokémon world that can predict the future, weather forecasts are always very accurate.
But now that the blizzard has really arrived, Ash and Misty have no choice but to quickly recall their Pokémon into their Poké Balls.
"Ash, according to the markings on the map, the only Pokémon Center in this entire mountain range is on the highest snow-capped mountain. Let's go there and hide for a while."
Ash nodded as he looked at the sunflower seeds frozen into ice on the ground.
"Keeping a Grass-type Pokémon frozen for too long can cause serious problems, so it's a good time to take the child to the Pokémon Center for treatment."
Seeing that Ash agreed, Misty quickly packed her bags and prepared to leave, while Ash continued to look up at the sky.
"Ash, what are you doing?"
"Pikachu, Pikachu!"
At this moment, Misty and Pikachu came to urge Ash to set off.
"When Mewtwo and I looked up just now, we saw a familiar tail fin among the clouds in the sky, but it was too far away for my waveguide perception to observe it."
"Perhaps the appearance of the sunflower seed is related to it, but now the clouds are thick and I can't even find the figure from before."
Abnormal weather, and suddenly frozen sunflower seeds fall from the sky.
Moreover, the familiar blue tail fin that Ash had just seen gave him a feeling that something was about to happen.
