Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile

She used to think these were just media hype, but now, it seems it was her who wasn’t seeing reality clearly.

Clair took a deep breath, putting away all negative emotions.

The battle isn’t over yet, she can’t give up here!

"The next one is the final battle, Miss Clair, let’s fight without regrets!"

Ash took out his last Pokeball and said to Clair with a smile.

Clair looked at the opponent’s smile, and for a moment was a bit dazed. He... seems to genuinely enjoy Pokemon battles, not just for winning or losing.

"Alright... let’s do this, the final match. I’ll use my strongest Pokemon to show my respect for you!"

As Clair finished speaking, she took out her last Pokeball and threw it onto the field.

"Bang!"

A flash of light, and a Pokemon as blue as a long snake appeared on the field—Dragonair!

Is this Clair’s strongest Pokemon?

Ash was briefly stunned when he saw Dragonair, but once he saw Dragonair’s information, even he was a bit taken aback.

Dragonair... Champion Junior Level?

Really? Clair trained a Dragonair to Champion Junior Level and it hasn’t evolved yet?

Off to the side, Lance saw Dragonair, and a gleam of admiration flashed across his eyes: "Well done, Clair, it seems you’ve finally found your path."

Hearing Lance’s praise, a smile appeared on Clair’s lips: "Brother Lance, I said, even without evolution, relying on Dragonair’s form, I can stand at the world’s peak! Dragonair and I will prove that our path isn’t wrong!"

Lance nodded: "Indeed, you and Dragonair have taken a completely different path, let me see your and Dragonair’s battle style."

Training Dragonair to Champion Level without evolving it is already an incredibly difficult feat.

One might even say it’s practically impossible.

But Clair, through her hard work and Dragonair’s talent, made what seemed impossible possible!

Brock, standing nearby, also commented: "The previous intel said Miss Clair’s strongest Pokemon was Elite Peak, but unexpectedly didn’t specify which Pokemon. I thought it would be Dragonite, turns out Miss Clair trained Dragonair to Elite Peak? Remarkable!"

"Not Elite Peak, it’s Champion Level, that Dragonair is Champion Junior Level, Brock," Ash reminded from the field.

Brock: ...

Ash’s words almost made Brock and Misty freeze on the spot.

A Champion-level Dragonair? This one isn’t some ordinary person!

Not just anyone can train a Dragonair to Champion Level!

Whether people like to admit it or not, it’s very hard for Pokemon that haven’t evolved to reach the pinnacle level.

Not to mention a quasi-god Pokemon.

For Clair to reach this stage, talent, hard work, and opportunities are all indispensable.

If she hadn’t met Ash, Clair’s achievements might have shocked Brock and the others for a very long time...

But honestly speaking, compared to Ash, Clair’s achievements could only be likened to fireflies competing with the moon.

"Your turn, Ash, send out your last Pokemon," Clair’s voice was full of confidence.

Although Ash’s two Pokemon fought her Pokemon to a draw, it also exposed a weakness of Ash’s.

And that’s that he doesn’t have truly powerful Pokemon of high level.

Two Pokemon, one Professional Level, one Gym Level, in the hands of a trainer who hasn’t been traveling for even a year, are indeed impressive.

But to challenge Blackthorn Gym with just that, it’s still not enough.

Ash being able to tell her Dragonair is Champion Level surprised Clair a bit.

The ability to detect a Pokemon’s level without battling is usually something only Champion Trainers can do, Ash’s trainer level is undoubtedly high.

But... a trainer’s level can quickly improve with talent, whereas Pokemon cannot.

Even the most talented Pokemon face a barrier in strength, unlike a brain suddenly becoming enlightened.

How much can Pokemon be trained in a year’s time? A Gym-level Dragonite would already be surprising.

As for the rumors of beating Lorelei before... maybe because Lorelei wasn’t serious, and Ash caught her off guard with those techniques that enhance Pokemon power.

If it were a real fight, Clair doesn’t believe Ash could beat Lorelei with just those few Pokemon.

He couldn’t possibly have a Champion-level Pokemon, could he?

Well, come on...

"It’s decided then, Gardevoir!" Ash threw out his last Pokemon.

A flash of light, and Gardevoir, with blue hair and a white dress, appeared on the field, exuding a graceful and gentle aura.

But beneath that aura, there was a strength that was hard to fathom.

Lance saw Gardevoir, and a shock flashed in his eyes again, even Cynthia’s beautiful eyes widened slightly.

Champion... a genuine Champion level!

This isn’t power achieved through special means or MEGA Evolution; it had already reached Champion level by itself!

Ash already possesses a true Champion-level Pokemon?

He’s only fifteen years old!

Training a Champion-level Pokemon at fifteen, that can’t be described with just the word ’genius’.

It’s simply... monstrous!

"Shana~" Gardevoir slightly lifted her beautiful eyes and took a look at the Dragonair levitating in mid-air.

With just one look, Dragonair seemed to feel a mental pressure, causing its body to curl up a little.

This beautiful Pokemon... is stronger than her!

Clair didn’t notice this detail, while being amazed by Gardevoir’s beauty, she also marveled at Ash’s luck.

"A shiny Gardevoir, plus the quasi-god Dragonite from earlier, and the Greninja capable of mysterious evolution... Ash, you really have many rare Pokemon around you!"

"Haha, just lucky," Ash waved his hand and replied with a light laugh.

What he said about luck was not modest, it was truly explosive luck!

Others go to great lengths to find rare Pokemon, while for him, they all swarm right to him.

Which Trainer can just meet Pokemon with Double S Potential while walking on the road?

Only Ash has such treatment.

Since he started his journey, not one of the Pokemon he has was actively sought out by him.

Under the circumstance of capturing them by chance, he’s managed to collect a bunch of Pokemon with monster-level talent.

"But having rare Pokemon isn’t enough to win battles; since you know my Dragonair is Champion Level, your Gardevoir shouldn’t be too weak, right?"

"Don’t worry, Gym Leader Clair, it’ll definitely be exciting for you."

"Is that so? Then I’ll look forward to it."

After saying that, the field fell silent for a moment. Clair looked at Ash, Ash looked at Clair, their eyes locking intensely, and finally, it was Clair who couldn’t hold back and said, "Aren’t you going to use that move?"

Ash: ?

"What move?"

"That move that enhances your Pokemon’s power, the one where you have blue light glowing all around you." Clair couldn’t quite identify Aura Power and had to describe the scene of Ash using it.

She hadn’t attacked because she was waiting for Ash to strengthen his Pokemon.

Otherwise, if his Pokemon was knocked out in one hit, wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of the battle?

Ash wore a puzzled expression upon hearing this.

"Ah... um, Miss Clair, you might be misunderstanding something, my Gardevoir... doesn’t need to use that kind of power."

Clair: ...

What does that mean? What do you mean it doesn’t need to use that kind of power?

Are you saying your Gardevoir can defeat my Champion-level Dragonair with its own strength?

Ridiculous!!

"I’ve given you a chance, Ash, if the battle ends quickly, don’t blame me."

Clair said thusly.

From the stands, Lance had already covered his eyes, unable to bear watching.

Girl, stop talking, I can’t afford to lose face like this!
