Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile

"Today, this battle, you won."

"Two Divine Domain Level Pokemon, Yveltal, Giratina, all fell at your hands. Since I joined Team Galactic, I’ve never suffered such a loss."

"But don’t celebrate too early. Team Galactic is in the dark, you’re in the light, you can’t always be so lucky."

He paused, his voice emanating a chilling coldness: "I’ve remembered you, Ash. Next time we meet, I’ll make you pay for everything you’ve done today."

Then he turned and stepped into the rift, followed closely by Pluton.

The ghostly purple light suddenly contracted, the spatial rift exploded into a ring of silent ripples in the air, then completely dissipated, leaving not a trace.

The Reverse Space laid down by the Netherworld Dragon also vanished along with Saturn’s departure.

Giratina lay in the crater, breathing weak but steady.

That strike from Rayquaza earlier severely injured It, but also successfully freed it from the control of the Griseous Orb.

If the Griseous Orb and that man were present, It might not have been able to break free even in this state.

But now, the Griseous Orb is far away in Sinnoh, and that man is absent, so after Its own power was shattered by Rayquaza, the Netherworld Dragon successfully escaped being controlled.

Ash slowly pushed himself up from the ground.

The Aura Power was nearly depleted, but now he recovered some strength, so simple movements weren’t a problem, and he gently placed Mitsumi down from his embrace.

With no enemies now, Mitsumi would not be threatened, and once the follow-up matters were handled, he would take Mitsumi back to Pallet Town.

Pikachu looked up at Ash, the worry in its eyes hadn’t fully dispersed, gazing as if saying, "Are you okay?"

Ash waved his hand to indicate he was fine, then walked toward the huge crater created by Giratina.

The pit was deep, with Giratina lying at the deepest part, its entire body sprawled laxly amongst the rubble, the wound on Its belly still oozing a purple-black energy.

But Its eyes were clear, unlike the savage-filled crimson dragon eyes Ash saw before in the Crystal Tower. Now, though fatigued, those eyes bore a sense of relief suppressed for too long.

Ash crouched by the edge of the pit, looking down at the gigantic creature, then turned to call out to Mewtwo: "Mewtwo, give me a hand, I’m not fully recovered yet."

Mewtwo’s eyes flashed with helplessness: "If you’re not recovered, don’t move around."

Despite the words, she was very obedient to Ash, using Spiritual Power to steadily lower him to the pit’s bottom.

Ash approached Giratina, Its vast dragon’s head just inches away, each breath carrying a chilling aura, blowing his forelocks backward.

He raised his hand, the viridian green light of the Power of Viridian glowing in his palm.

After the fierce battles, the Power of Viridian was also greatly consumed. The light was weaker than before, yet still carried a vibrant energy.

He pressed his palm against the edge of Giratina’s belly wound, starting to slowly infuse it.

The green light infiltrated the purple-black wound like spring rains seeping into parched soil, making Giratina’s dragon body quiver slightly and then slowly relax.

This human... is healing It.

Just now, they were mortal enemies, and now It was being treated by this human. Did this boy see that It was controlled earlier?

"It’s okay now, Giratina, I’ll heal you. This wound looks scary, but Rayquaza held back just now; It only scattered your inner power without harming your essence." Ash turned to glance at Giratina and met Its eyes, then spoke comfortingly.

He thought Giratina might be worried he would still harm It, so he quickly explained.

A moment later, a low and hoarse voice echoed in Ash’s mind, filled with weariness yet still dignified.

’You’re called Ash.’

Ash paused for a moment, then realized it was the voice of the Netherworld Dragon. He nodded: "Yes, I’m from Pallet Town... Maybe you don’t know where Pallet Town is, but it’s not far from here. In the future, I’m going to become a Pokemon Master; you might as well remember my name."

Ash wasn’t surprised that the Netherworld Dragon knew his name because Saturn and Pluton had shouted it quite loudly just now. Knowing his name wasn’t strange, yet at this moment, he didn’t forget to boast about his dream of becoming a Pokemon Master to the Netherworld Dragon.

This left the Netherworld Dragon quite baffled.

It paused momentarily and continued: ’I’ll remember.’

This dialogue nearly made Mewtwo stumble beside them. You, with your sound embodying awe, and your terrifying form, yet responding with such simplicity.

Do you understand your current situation? You just escaped human control, and now you’re conversing with a human so easily?

But on another note, Ash’s words... indeed had an ineffable charm, not to mention Giratina regaining Its freedom was greatly linked to Ash. Plus, now Ash is healing Giratina, so it’s reasonable for Giratina to lower Its guard toward Ash.

Ash grinned, still healing Giratina, then asked, "How are you feeling now?"
