Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile

Right now, Greninja obviously can’t control this power.

Bond Evolution provides an extremely terrifying boost, but the consumption it brings is equally significant.

Throughout the battle, Greninja was only hit at the very beginning by the opponent’s Air Slash; afterwards, it didn’t take any damage.

After evolving, it took out Gyarados in two moves.

In this situation, losing the ability to fight directly shows how great the side effects of Bond Evolution are.

To use Bond Evolution without worries, Greninja probably needs to reach Elite Level first.

For now... in peak condition, lasting a minute can be considered a success.

"Ash, are you okay?" Outside the ring, Misty shouted with concern.

She was the only one in the audience who noticed that Ash’s condition seemed a bit off too.

Ash shook his head: "Don’t worry, I’m fine, just a bit tired. Looks like we can’t use that evolution recklessly yet."

After speaking, Ash took out a Pokeball and recalled Greninja.

"You worked hard, Greninja. You performed well in this battle."

To tie with a Gym Peak Pokemon at a Professional Junior Level, isn’t just a good performance.

It’s absolutely monstrous!

Watching from a distance, Lance’s curiosity reached its peak; he wanted to immediately ask Ash about the evolution.

However, since the battle was still underway, it wasn’t the time to ask.

He would have to wait until the battle was over.

"Get back, Gyarados... I’m sorry, my command wasn’t good, and I held you back." Clair looked at the Pokeball in her hand, tugged the corners of her mouth into a bitter smile, and apologized.

Gyarados’ strength definitely wasn’t the problem; it was Clair’s command that was at fault.

A Gym Peak Pokemon losing to a Professional Junior Pokemon is definitely tied to the Trainer.

Clair never expected that she’d one day be the one holding her Pokemon back.

With Clair’s level, even commanding Elite Level Pokemon wouldn’t be a problem.

So it wasn’t that her commands weren’t fit for Gym Level Pokemon, but rather Ash’s performance was just abnormal.

But Clair wouldn’t make excuses for this.

Furthermore... it was just a trial battle they lost, and the opponent also lost their ability to fight.

The next match would be a two-on-two, and she wasn’t at a disadvantage.

"You’re really impressive, Ash. With a Professional Junior Pokemon, you defeated my Gym Peak Pokemon. The rumors are true; you’re really adept at battling above your rank."

Saying that, Clair brought out her second Pokeball, "But it’s not going to be that easy next. Go, Altaria!"

With a flash of light, a blue Pokemon wrapped in cotton appeared on the battlefield.

Dragon’s traitor, Altaria.

Originally its attributes were Dragon and Flying, but after Mega Evolution, it becomes Dragon and Fairy.

Fairy and Dragon Types are ultimate rivals, so Altaria is called a traitor to the Dragon tribe due to this attribute combination.

Yet, even as a traitor, it’s stronger than Gyarados and Charizard and the like.

At least it truly possesses Dragon Attributes.

Ash glanced at Altaria’s level—Elite Advanced Level.

No doubt about it, this time Clair was serious; Elite Advanced Level in her team should be top-level.

In that case, Ash also sent out the one he had prepared...

"It’s settled, Dragonite, you’re up!"

With a flash of light, an orange, silly-looking Pokemon appeared on the battlefield.

Kanto’s Quasi-God, Dragonite!

"That Dragonite... I get it now, it’s the Dragonair from Dragon Island, isn’t it? It’s already evolved into Dragonite now!" Lance felt somewhat familiar seeing Dragonite.

He quickly recalled that Ash had captured a Dragonair on Dragon Island before.

This Dragonite should be the evolved form of that Dragonair from Dragon Island.

Back then, the Dragonair’s level was only Elite Intermediate.

The difficulty in raising Quasi-God Pokemon is a consensus among Trainers; their growth cycle is often measured in years, with each evolution requiring a vast amount of battle experience and resources.

This Dragonite’s level is now Gym Intermediate.

Yet since Ash returned from Dragon Island, it’s only been a few months.

In just a few months, evolving from an Elite Intermediate Dragonair to Dragonite and pushing its level to Gym Intermediate.

This training speed would be unbelievable for any Trainer, especially considering it’s a Quasi-God known for slow growth.

"Regardless of the outcome, just this training result is already astonishing." Lance murmured, his eyes flashing with admiration.

He mentally calculated—his own Dragonite took two full years to evolve from Dragonair, a process that still feels arduous when recalled.

Ash, this guy, not only has a knack for competing beyond his level but also finds a way in training Pokemon that few can replicate.

On the sidelines, Clair didn’t have the keen insight like Lance.

Before formally engaging, she couldn’t accurately judge Dragonite’s exact level like Lance could.

But this didn’t stop her from knowing that evolving into Dragonite meant it was at least above Professional Level, and since Ash sent Dragonite to battle her Altaria, it showed Ash’s full confidence in Dragonite.
