Chapter 913 - 481: Lance and Cynthia’s Shock—Ash Uses Divine Domain Peak for a Gym Battle? He’s Lost His Mind!
Ash never expected Giratina to volunteer for the battle.
Who would have thought, Giratina, a Divine Realm Level Peak! A Divine Realm Level Peak!!
This is a Pokemon at the pinnacle of the world, second only to the Creator God Arceus, actually interested in a battle of this level.
Even Mewtwo was a bit dumbfounded.
"Aren’t you embarrassed participating in such a fight as a Divine Realm Level Peak?"
This is just a complete one-sided match!
What could Giratina be thinking, wanting to join a battle of this level? Could it be feeling too oppressed by its previous battle with Rayquaza?
Ash’s brow furrowed slightly.
Recently, Giratina has been resting and slowly regaining its strength within its Pokeball.
Like Mewtwo, it seldom comes out, except for mealtimes, spending most of its time training in seclusion.
It truly lives up to the name of living in seclusion.
Why is it suddenly asking to battle?
’What’s wrong?’ Ash silently asked in his mind, ’Are you feeling unwell?’
’No discomfort.’ Giratina’s deep voice was full of interest, ’I just got a bit excited watching your recent battles from inside the Pokeball.’
’The opponent is a Ghost Type and Dragon Type, just like my attributes, so I wanted to come out and have some fun.’
Ash’s mouth twitched slightly.
Goddamn Ghost and Dragon Types, if anything, you’re the ancestor of the Ghost and Dragon Types!
The opposing Ghost Dragon Dragapult might just crash the moment it sees you!
If I let Giratina participate in this one, it would be like an ancestor beating up their descendant, how unfair!
’Do you just want to come out to dominate?’
’You could say that.’ Giratina unabashedly admitted, ’Mainly, I want to experience your human Pokemon battles, so, can I join?’
Ash thought for a moment and showed a helpless smile.
’Alright, alright, since you want to play, go ahead.’
’At least it saves me the hassle of deciding.’
’But do take it easy! If you go too hard, even Mewtwo won’t be able to control the overflow of your attacks.’
Right now, Giratina’s level is even stronger than Mewtwo’s.
Though without the Griseous Orb, it can’t return to its peak, but Divine Realm Level Peak is still Divine Realm Level Peak.
Its power outburst is something even Mewtwo needs to defend against with all its might.
As for using a barrier to enclose the entire battlefield to prevent attack spillover... do you think this is a Champion Level battle?
Thus, Ash repeatedly stressed to Giratina not to go overboard!
Or else the situation would spiral out of control.
’Don’t worry.’ Giratina answered nonchalantly, ’I know my limits.’
With its assurance, Ash felt a bit relieved.
He reached to his other side at his waist and took out a distinctly different Pokeball.
This Pokeball was different from the ordinary red and white ones, its body a deep black hue with a dark luster, and gold patterns embellishing the edges.
This Pokeball was specially crafted for Giratina by Kurt.
An ordinary Pokeball couldn’t contain Giratina’s power level, only a Pokeball made from special materials could hold Giratina’s energy.
With a normal Pokeball, even the slightest stretch from Giratina could cause it to explode!
In the audience, Clair was stunned seeing the Pokeball in Ash’s hand.
Her mind went blank as it flooded with confusion.
’Wait, where did this Pokeball come from? Doesn’t Ash already have six Pokemon?’
She quickly counted in her head.
The Greninja, Snorlax, Pikachu on the shoulder seen at Blackthorn Gym before...
Plus today’s Lucario, Little Lugia, Charizard, Gardevoir at Hammerlocke Gym...
Except for the airborne Charizard, not counting towards the carry slots, the remaining six were just right, so how could there possibly be other Pokeballs?
According to League rules, any Pokemon over six gets automatically sent back to where the PokeDex was given or a designated backroom.
Though there are Trainers with more than six carry slots, Clair knew six Pokemon was already the limit for taking care of them properly.
Any more, and training, feeding, and bonding would become too taxing.
It’s like constantly dividing one’s emotions into seven or eight parts, how could it be easy?
A Trainer of Ash’s caliber shouldn’t likely have more than six Pokemon!
And this seventh... no, eighth? Ninth? She couldn’t even keep count!
Clair looked incredulously at Lance beside her.
Lance shrugged and said, "Looking at me won’t help, who knows how many carry slots Ash has?"
"That kid’s already done plenty of things we didn’t expect, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he had more than six slots, either."
Cynthia, beside them, just smiled gently, she wasn’t surprised at all.
After all, she knew Ash had a monster like Mewtwo, which already made more than seven.
