Chapter 142

Recalling the battle between him and Black Ash, he was hung up and beaten by Black Ash from beginning to end.

Bugsy: "Lucky, lucky."

Saying it was lucky, but in reality, he was already overjoyed in his heart.

Bugsy has already begun to look forward to a beautiful future.

Perhaps he will be the one to take Black Ash's "first time."

Aaron: "Don't be too proud too early, don't forget, Black Ash basically hasn't trained Butterfree much."

Diantha: "The main event is next. If I'm not mistaken, Heracross and Scyther will be on the field soon."

Bugsy: "Heracross, Scyther."

Bugsy isn't too afraid of Heracross; Black Ash hasn't caught it for long, so the level won't be too high. What makes Bugsy feel pressure is Scyther.

This guy is definitely a difficult opponent.

["Come back, Butterfree."]

[Looking at the incapacitated Butterfree, Ash also shook his head in disappointment. This guy has been living a cozy life with its wife at Professor Oak's lab every day, and has become muddled. It hasn't trained properly at all, and its strength has decreased instead of increasing. This won't do. This time, he must keep it with him for a while and let it taste the flavor of devilish training.]

["Go, Heracross."]

[Fortunately, the second one to appear, Heracross, didn't cause any trouble. Its performance was quite stable, and it easily suppressed Ariados just by relying on brute force.]

[Relying on the final Horn Attack, it easily defeated its opponent.]

[Facing the second opponent, Venomoth, Heracross's performance was also quite heroic. It first flapped its wings to blow away Venomoth's Stun Spore, then seized the opportunity to give Venomoth a hard hit with Megahorn.]

[The Fury Attack after Megahorn ended made Venomoth unable to even find north.]

Bugsy: "No way!!!"

He had just looked forward to the taste of victory, and Black Ash gave him a hard slap in the face, letting him know how far he was from victory.

Let alone Scyther, he couldn't even pass the Heracross hurdle.

Falkner: "Alright, I take back what I said just now."

Aaron: "Black Ash's cultivation level is too heaven-defying. How long has he caught Heracross, and its level has increased at least tenfold."

Misty: "It forms a sharp contrast with Ash's Heracross."

Both are Heracross, but Ash's Heracross's performance in battle is far worse than Black Ash's.

[Heracross's final opponent is Pinsir. Bugsy seems to be planning to use power to restrain power.]

[Bugsy's plan was quite good, but when it came to implementation, he found that it was simply impossible to achieve.]

[Ash's Heracross's power is too explosive. His Pinsir was suppressed by the opponent in terms of power in just one encounter.]

[Next was a one-sided beating. The scene was simply too horrible to look at.]

["Come back, Pinsir."]

[Bugsy said listlessly.]

[After taking a full minute to calm down, Bugsy finally calmed his mood. He handed the Hive Badge to Ash as quickly as possible, and then left without looking back.]

["Wait a minute."]

[Ash called out to Bugsy, who was turning to leave. Of course, it wasn't to mock him. The reason he called out to Bugsy was that he discovered Bugsy gave him one more thing. Besides the Hive Badge, Bugsy also gave him a strange stone.]

["This is a thank-you gift." Bugsy was still listless, "This is a stone I accidentally obtained. It seems to contain power that can make Heracross stronger."]

[This was originally kept by Bugsy for his own use, but now he doesn't need it anymore. Because he has been beaten by Heracross to the point of having psychological trauma, he won't catch Heracross for a long time. Since that's the case, he'll just give it to Ash as a thank-you gift.]

["Then, thank you."]

[Getting a reward for beating someone up, should he be even more ruthless next time he conducts a gym challenge?]

Whitney: "Don't, don't, please don't!!!"

According to Ash's travel sequence, the next one to battle is her turn. She doesn't want to experience the feeling of being beaten up.

Lance: "Does anyone know what kind of stone Bugsy gave Ash? Is it an Evolution Stone? That's not right, I've never heard that Heracross can evolve."

Professor Sycamore: "It's a Mega Stone. It can't be wrong."

As Professor Sycamore, who focuses on Mega Evolution research, he recognized at a glance that the stone Bugsy gave Black Ash is exactly a Mega Stone.

This is big news; Heracross can also undergo Mega Evolution.

Diantha: "That is to say, as long as he gets a Key Stone, Black Ash's Heracross can Mega Evolve?"

Professor Sycamore: "One more condition must be met: there must be enough bond between Black Ash and Heracross."

Steven: "What about Lance? Bad news keeps coming. If this continues, it won't even take two years, and Black Ash might replace you as the strongest in Kanto."

Wallace: "It doesn't matter to Lance, anyway, he isn't the strongest in Kanto right now."

Cynthia: "Yes. Wallace is right."

Lance: "..."

[Warmth kept coming from the palm holding the stone, and the Aura in his body also told Ash that special energy was contained within this stone.]

[After carefully putting the stone into his backpack, Ash took the others and left the Azalea Gym.]

[The gym challenge is over. With nothing to do, the group finally decided to go to the back mountain. According to Mr. Pokémon, there are many Apricorns there. If they collect good Apricorns, he can help craft special Poké Balls.]

[After working for a while in the back mountain, the group had a fruitful harvest, with everyone finding at least two or three suitable Apricorns.]

[Brock had the best luck; he also caught a Pineco.]

[After staying in Azalea Town for several more days, Mr. Pokémon's research finally succeeded.]

[After Ash and the others came to Mr. Pokémon's house, a scene that left everyone dumbfounded appeared.]

[In front of Mr. Pokémon were two identical Poké Balls, and both were GS Balls.]

["What's going on? Mr. Pokémon."]

[If it were just the appearance that was the same, Ash wouldn't be so surprised. He had probed with Aura, and these two Poké Balls had no difference, at least that's what his Aura told him.]

["Sorry, Ash." Mr. Pokémon scratched his head awkwardly, "I used the Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing you gave me to craft the GS Ball."]

[After figuring out the manufacturing method of the GS Ball, and with the raw materials for the GS Ball right by his side, Mr. Pokémon's hands were itching, so he used the Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing to craft this new GS Ball.]

Morty: "No, what exactly is the effect of the GS Ball? It actually needs the Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing to be crafted."

Chairman Goodshow: "Could it be that this is a Master Ball from ancient times? As long as you throw the ball, you can catch any Pokémon."

Giovanni: "Stop joking, how could such a thing be possible!!!"

Their Team Rocket spent so much manpower and material resources and still couldn't manufacture a Master Ball that could catch all Pokémon. As a result, you are telling him now that Master Balls existed in ancient times. Isn't this slapping their Team Rocket in the face?

Isn't this telling the whole world that their Team Rocket's R&D capability is not as good as the ancients?

How can Giovanni accept this?

Cynthia: "I just want to know now where the first ball maker who crafted the GS Ball got the Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing."

Diantha: "The Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing are not Chinese cabbage. Don't tell me that person got the feathers by defeating Ho-Oh and Lugia."

Morty: "Stop joking, the trainer who can defeat Ho-Oh and Lugia in this world hasn't been born yet. It must be like Ash; that person also gained the favor of Ho-Oh and Lugia, and it was Ho-Oh and Lugia who took the initiative to give him the feathers."

Lance: "Morty's analysis is still very reasonable. Several hundred years ago, the difficulty of obtaining the Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing was not as great as it is now. After all, Ho-Oh and Lugia were still staying honestly in Ecruteak City at that time. As long as you could satisfy Ho-Oh and Lugia, it wasn't a big problem to get a small feather."

["Don't worry, Ash, the Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing are just laid flat in the ball net and can be taken out at any time."]

[The Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing were not destroyed. As long as you want, you can take them out of the ball at any time.]

[However, once taken out, the GS Ball will explode.]

["Mr. Pokémon, do you know what the GS Ball is used for?" Ash asked curiously.]

[Mr. Pokémon was silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "I have studied it for a long time, and the conclusion is that the role of the Silver Wing and Rainbow Wing is to stabilize time."]

["Stabilize time?"]

["Yes, stabilize time." Mr. Pokémon said very firmly.]

[Taking another deep breath, Mr. Pokémon opened his mouth: "The GS Ball is used to catch Pokémon that can travel through time."]

["??????????"]

[As soon as Mr. Pokémon said this, the whole room was silent.]

Cynthia: "Pokémon that travel through time, could it be?"

Cynthia covered her mouth, afraid that she would exclaim out loud.

Professor Carolina: "Is it Dialga? Or."

Aaron: "Or? Is there any Pokémon in this world that can travel through time and space besides the God of Time, Dialga, from Sinnoh legends?"

Professor Oak: "Yes, Celebi."

Celebi, what a long-ago name, so long ago that more than forty years have passed.

However, although more than forty years have passed, he will never forget that adventure.
