Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile

Facing the slightly awkward Ash, Clair waved her hand, indicating she didn’t mind.

Seeing a Champion Trainer itching for a battle is common human nature.

"By the way, this is..." Ash looked at the curious blue-haired girl glancing around and asked.

He had just noticed the girl earlier; she seemed about the same age as them, with a clear and naive look in her eyes, appearing like a newcomer Trainer.

Why would there be a newcomer Trainer in this place?

"This is my apprentice, Dawn from Twinleaf Town in the Sinnoh Region," Cynthia stood next to Dawn and introduced her.

"Hello everyone, my name is Dawn, a newcomer Trainer just starting my journey, currently learning under Miss Cynthia, aiming to become the best Contest Trainer in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Ash extended his hand with a grin: "Hello, I’m Ash from Pallet Town, and my goal is to become a Pokemon Master!"

Dawn reached out to shake hands briefly, getting acquainted with each other.

Misty and others also introduced themselves, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

"Then without further ado, let’s begin." After exchanging pleasantries, Clair proposed to start the Gym battle. It’s rare for a Gym Leader to be so eager to battle with challengers in any Gym challenge situation.

But now, Clair indeed couldn’t wait.

Her beautiful eyes burning with intense flames looked at Ash, seemingly ablaze with passion.

Today, we’ll find out if this legendary super rookie lives up to the name or not.

"No problem, let’s start then, Gym Leader Clair!" Ash nodded and agreed willingly, then shifted his gaze to the shabby battlefield.

Despite the barrier, the Gym’s surroundings weren’t affected, but the field had become incredibly worn, unsuitable for a normal battle!

"You don’t need to worry about that," Clair pulled out a remote and pressed a button, instantly changing the Gym’s field!

The uneven, even giant pothole-riddled ground began to lower slowly; after a dozen seconds, a brand new field rose from the ground, and the ceiling suddenly opened, revealing the bright sunlight outside.

"So advanced?" Ash remarked, already standing in the challenger’s position, while Clair moved to the other side of the field.

"This design is for conducting the next battle immediately after an intense one, as those who challenge the Blackthorn Gym aren’t ordinary Trainers," Clair explained.

The fame of the Blackthorn Gym speaks for itself; even the least capable challengers are Gym Level Trainers. Although the Blackthorn Gym’s field is custom-made, the Pokemon’s destructive power is still too great.

After a battle, the field becoming uneven is completely normal.

This is where the field-changing technology comes in handy. The Blackthorn Gym’s field can be swapped three times consecutively with customization.

Repairing the field only takes one day.

Generally, it’s unlikely to destroy four fields in a day; such battle intensity would be terrifying.

Lance and others found a spot to sit beside; they initially came here to get the Dragon Fang, the emblem of the Dragon Clan, from Clair. Unexpectedly, so many things happened today.

First was a battle with Cynthia, and now witnessing Ash and Clair’s battle.

He is also quite interested in watching his cousin battle Ash. The last time he saw Ash battle live was during the Quartz Conference.

Afterwards, Ash even defeated Lorelei, further increasing Lance’s interest in him. This fifteen-year-old, soon-to-be-sixteen-year-old boy now has the strength to compete alongside them!

Dawn curiously watched the boy standing on the battlefield. Though he was about the same age as her, he already possessed power comparable to her mentor Cynthia.

Recently, she’s heard Cynthia’s praises for Ash countless times.

He’s been traveling for about six months, and in that time, a newcomer Trainer has grown to Champion tier and even aims to challenge the strongest Trainers.

In the entire world, it’s an unbelievably rare occurrence. Her mentor often used two words to describe Ash: miracle.

"His existence can only be described as a miracle; in the long history of the Pokemon Realm, there’s never been a Trainer with such strong talent. That prophecy... that future... might really be referring to Ash."

This sentence, Dawn remembered vividly. When she asked about the prophecy, Cynthia just smiled and said it was nothing.

It seemed like something that shouldn’t be casually revealed, but at that moment, Dawn saw an unprecedented expression on Cynthia’s face—a feeling she had never shown before.

This boy, what kind of magic does he possess...

...

"The match rules are the standard three-on-three. On my side, Pokemon cannot be switched; whichever side’s three Pokemon lose the ability to battle, that side loses. Understand?" Clair tossed the Pokeball in her hand, explaining the rules to Ash.
