Chapter 151

Anyone who truly understands knows just how heaven-defying this ability of Gold's is.

["Can maximize the potential of hatched Pokémon?"]

[Ash, watching from the side, was envious; this ability was simply too heaven-defying, and he wanted it too.]

[Gold hadn't finished speaking; it wasn't just potential—the Pokémon could also accept his emotions and will.]

[As for why he could obtain such an ability, it was because Gold lived with many Pokémon like family, thus gaining this special talent.]

[This is a talent that only Gold possesses.]

[Just then, a small Pichu jumped out of Gold's backpack and quickly climbed onto the top of his head. Gold also began to act; he swung his billiard cue violently, thrusting it into the body of Pryce's ice statue.]

[Crackle, crackle.]

[Pichu's body had already accumulated countless amounts of energy, and it was now in urgent need of releasing it.]

["How about that, looking at my little partner who doesn't even have a name? As long as I get enough electrical energy from Raikou, it's this powerful!"]

[Countless amounts of electrical energy surged madly through Gold's billiard cue into Pryce's ice statue.]

[It wasn't just Pichu; Ash's Pikachu was also helping. The two massive surges of electricity converged, and the newly formed energy was something even Pryce could barely withstand.]

["Come on, Super Sunrise Thunderbolt!"]

[Pichu's electricity shattered Pryce's ice shield, and Pikachu took advantage of the opportunity to completely pulverize Pryce's ice statue with Thunderbolt.]

Lt. Surge: "This world is becoming more and more absurd."

Lt. Surge used to think that Raichu was stronger than Pikachu, and Pikachu was stronger than Pichu, but reality had slapped his face time and time again.

Evolution makes you stronger? Sorry, there is no such rule at all.

Cynthia: "Did I hear that right? Gold said his Pichu is still a baby? A newborn baby?"

Is he kidding her? A newborn baby can unleash such a powerful electric shock?

Volkner: "It should be because it stored enough electrical energy from Raikou to be that strong."

Flint: "Heh, do you believe that yourself? Raikou, Entei, and Suicune combined aren't a match for Pryce!"

Elesa: "This world is getting crazier and crazier."

[Pryce gripped his wheelchair tightly, looking at Gold with cold eyes.]

[Gold, however, smiled at this moment, "No matter how many times you shatter, you can revive, right? But my target isn't you."]

[As soon as Gold said this, Pryce felt a sense of foreboding. He took out the GS Ball and looked; sure enough, the GS Ball had already shattered.]

[Without the restraint of the GS Ball, Pryce completely lost control over Celebi.]

The people in the chat room suddenly realized the truth when they saw this.

After all that, Pryce had actually already captured Celebi.

[Just at this moment, Pryce finally found the time-space he had been searching for.]

[Lapras quickly jumped into that time-space and happily embraced its parents.]

[At the same time, Pryce also heard that song his friends had created for him—The Lapras Boy.]

[Pryce was instantly moved to tears.]

[At this time, Gold and Pichu had exhausted all their strength; they leaned closely against each other.]

[Looking at Gold and Pichu, as well as Ash and Pikachu, Pryce suddenly smiled, "I really envy you all; you are still so young and have so much time to spend with your Pokémon."]

[Pryce completely crushed the GS Ball, took out the Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing from inside, and placed them on the sleeping Gold and Pichu.]

[At this moment, Ash suddenly spoke, "Do you know what you are doing?"]

[This place is not like the outer edge of the time rift; there, one could barely hold on even without the Silver Wing or Rainbow Wing, but here it is different—the powerful pressure will devour anyone without the protection of the two wings.]

["Lapras has reunited with its parents; my life has no more regrets." Pryce smiled indifferently.]

[He originally wanted to entrust Swinub and Delibird to Ash, but they refused. That's fine too; let them just disappear into the time rift like this.]

[He needs to atone for everything he has done.]

[After returning to the original world, Misty, Brock, and Erika immediately surrounded them. After checking several times and finding that Ash was not injured, they all felt relieved.]

["It really was a disaster out of nowhere." At this moment, Misty couldn't help but complain, "Who would have thought we would encounter an enemy as powerful as Pryce?"]

["And after all that work, we didn't even capture Celebi." Erika also sighed.]

[If they had known, they might as well have followed the original plan and gone straight through Ilex Forest.]

["Didn't capture Celebi? Who said that?" Ash took the GS Ball off his belt.]

[Celebi is currently sleeping inside?]

["Ash, you captured Celebi?!"]

Chat room.

Gary: "What? Dark Ash captured Celebi?"

Erika: "Fake, right?"

Lorelei: "It must be true; Dark Ash has no reason to lie."

Bruno: "Lance, how about we stop fighting for the Champion position? We really can't compete with Dark Ash; he is the true protagonist."

Lance: "..."

[Rather than saying Ash captured Celebi, it is better to say that Celebi voluntarily became Ash's Pokémon.]

[Because traveling through time and space consumed a massive amount of energy, it was in urgent need of a place to sleep.]

[And the most suitable choice for it was naturally Ash's GS Ball.]

[The GS Ball contains special energy that can nourish its body the fastest, which is why Celebi voluntarily crawled into Ash's GS Ball.]

[This time, Ash can be said to have gained a full harvest; not only did he get Celebi, but he also gained a special ability.]

[Hatching Power.]

[Yes, it is the Hatching Power that Gold and Pryce possess.]

[Ash doesn't actually know how he got it; he just learned it in a muddled way.]

[In short, Ash won big.]

Lance: "I, Lance, voluntarily hand over the Kanto Champion position to Dark Ash. I will support Dark Ash forever. Long live Dark Ash!"

Bruno: "Eh? Why aren't you being stubborn this time, Lance?"

Lorelei: "Heh, he has his eyes on Dark Ash's Hatching Power. He probably wants Dark Ash to help him hatch Dragon-type Pokémon. Don't dream; Dark Ash isn't from our world."

Diantha: "Lorelei, if you ask me, you don't have the foresight Lance does. Gold and Pryce aren't from Dark Ash's world either, but they were able to go to Dark Ash's world. Perhaps one day, Dark Ash can come to our world too."

Leon: "It would be great if that were really the case."

He really couldn't wait to have a decisive battle with Dark Ash.

Hop: "Uh, sorry, big brother, I can't support you this time!"

Leon: "Eh?"

Hop: "That's Hatching Power!!! Sorry, big brother, I've defected."

Sonia: "Yeah, Leon, I support Dark Ash too."

Leon: "..."

His own brother defected, and even his childhood friend Sonia did the same; Leon has lost big this time.

Wait, if Dark Ash could help him hatch a Pokémon, letting him lose to Dark Ash might not be unacceptable.

Professor Oak: "What are you all thinking? Didn't you hear what was written in Professor Oak's letter? It's because Gold lived with his Pokémon like family that he was able to obtain Hatching Power."

According to his understanding, only Dark Ash's own Pokémon can be hatched using Hatching Power.

Lance: "Is that so? Hmph, then let's clash. Dark Ash is very strong, but I, Lance, am no pushover."

Hop: 'Go for it, brother, you are invincible.'

Sonia: "That's right, you are the undefeated champion—Leon."

Leon: "..."

[After leaving Ilex Forest, Ash and the others arrived at a new city. As they were enjoying the sea breeze on the beach, a voice suddenly reached their ears.]

["Hey, you have to straighten your back so it looks good. If you don't act a little cuter, everyone won't like you."]

[Not far from them, a little boy was teaching his Wobbuffet.]

[Ash and the others went up to ask and found out that the little boy's name was Ada. The reason he was teaching Wobbuffet here was that he wanted to take Wobbuffet to participate in the Pokémon Swap Meet.]

["A big festival is being held in Leaf Town straight ahead, and the Pokémon Swap Meet is being held in that place."]

["But, this Pokémon of yours isn't eye-catching at all; can it really be swapped?"]

[Misty, holding Togepi, couldn't help but speak up.]

[This Wobbuffet looked silly and dull, just like her Psyduck; she didn't think anyone would like such a Pokémon.]
