Chapter 73: Squirtle: I prayed to heaven, and only myself answered!

【Xiba: Here it comes again, Wave Guide bonus, activating the trait. I originally thought only Squirtle had Wave Guide and Ash's Wave Guide power needed to resonate to work, but it turns out Wave Guide power can boost all Pokémon.】

【Yaxuan: Black Satoshi not only has high Wave Guide talent, but his training intensity is huge, not something ordinary people can match; my Wave Guide power can't even come close to Ash's.】

【Keerni: If Ash had a Lucario, both would have strong Wave Guide power; Lucario plus Black Satoshi's Wave Guide power would be hard to imagine how much boost, possibly causing an incredible change.】

【Ailin: He is a Wave Guide Hero; if he ever comes to the World Tree in the Black World, maybe the ending would be different!】

That Lucario might not just sacrifice itself to repair the tree like that.

Da na!

Ba na~

After a bout of fighting, Bulbasaur expended a lot of stamina, and finally with one Solar Flare it defeated Venusaur.

Bulbasaur defeated Venusaur; the basic form actually beat the final evolution.

Such a thing isn't unprecedented; if it happened to someone else it would be fine, but it happened around them, and that Venusaur defeated by Bulbasaur had actually defeated their Venusaur.

Looking at the Bulbasaur held by Ash, those trainers were incredulous.

Bulbasaur, nice job!

Ash hugged Bulbasaur and happily said, 'Even without evolving, you can defeat Venusaur; you don't have to evolve to get stronger. Now you're this strong— isn't it all from your own hard training? So don't worry about evolving.'

Da na!

Bulbasaur happily looked at Ash: 'It's your guidance that made me this strong.'

It has no aversion to evolution; if given the chance, it will also evolve into Venusaur!

Becoming this strong comes from daily hard training.

Xiaoxia, as an observer, saw them train every day; even her Celebi was prompted to train on its own.

Not to mention Xiaoxia's Celebi; even her Onix and Geodude were used as sparring partners by Primeape and Squirtle.

Interesting!

Mewtwo grew a bit curious about Ash; his Wave Guide power is extraordinary. Though not the strongest opponent Mewtwo has faced, he is absolutely the most special— his Wave Guide power can grant strength to Pokémon and trigger their traits.

Ka mei~

Blastoise stepped out, with a 'ka' sound, its cannon aimed at Ash.

Squirtle!

Squirtle stepped forward, looking at the Blastoise several times its size, took off its specially shaped glasses, eyes full of fighting spirit.

'Lone Wanderer' all won, so as the captain of the Squirtle Army I naturally can't lose face.

Water Gun!

Squirtle gathered strength, opened its mouth. A gentle stream seemed to swirl around it, the powerful water converged in its mouth, and with a boom a thick jet of water shot at Blastoise.

Blastoise still did the same as before, quickly retracting into its hard shell like a perfect fortress, and charged forward spinning against Squirtle's outgoing Water Gun.

But Squirtle's Water Gun is no ordinary; despite Blastoise spinning its shell at high speed and water splashing everywhere, it couldn't advance a step.

Boom!

Squirtle increased power, a thicker jet of water blasted out with a boom, and Blastoise was instantly blown backward.

【Lulinna: Squirtle's...... Water Gun power got stronger again!!!】

【Ma Zhishi: Is that still Water Gun? It's basically a Water Cannon— Black Satoshi's Pokémon are truly absurd, Water Gun rivals a Water Cannon, basic form beating final evolution!】

【Junsha: Now Bai Ash's Squirtle is not bad either; recently it even beat the Blastoise fire squad.】

【Ash: Truly, Squirtle keeps getting stronger!】

Haha, we are indeed learning from Black Satoshi!!!

Black World—

At this moment, light also began to shimmer around Mewtwo.

Blastoise's eyes showed the same light, and its cannon barrel immediately surged with strong water-type energy; with a boom two thick jets of water shot from the cannon, merged into one, forming an incredibly powerful water column that roared toward Squirtle with overwhelming force.

Hold firm!

Squirtle raised a shield in front of itself, blocking the Water Cannon.

Boom!

The Water Cannon struck the shield, water splashing everywhere.

Ash looked at the Blastoise whose water-type energy had surged; just now Mewtwo also used psychic power to boost Blastoise's strength, and the boost was even greater than Squirtle's, so it couldn't sit still either!

What the heck?

How is each one more perverted than the last?

And how did Mewtwo's Blastoise become so fierce? Just now when fighting them, it hadn't unleashed such a powerful Water Cannon.

Those trainers felt a surge of frustration; they battled those three starter Pokémon but never forced them to go all out, and unexpectedly, facing them were the basic-form Bulbasaur and Squirtle,

"Squirtle, ready?"

Looking at the brown-shelled Squirtle, Ash took a deep breath; his Wave Guide kept rising, turning into rings of invisible air waves spreading outward.

"Squirtle!!!"

Wave Guide...... transmitted Ash's belief to Squirtle.

Squirtle's Wave Guide also rose at the same time; the joyful times spent playing and training with Ash, Pikachu, and other friends flashed through its mind like a movie.

After all this effort, isn't it precisely to defeat you powerful opponents?

His eyes narrowed, Squirtle's air wave suddenly erupted, kicking up a gust.

Immediately after, a dazzling evolution light appeared on its body; however, Squirtle's evolution light was a brilliant blue glow, just like Ash's.

Evolution!

Mewtwo stared at the blue-light-wrapped Squirtle; that wave...... kept rising and rising, seemingly not yet reaching the critical point.

The human's aura power is gradually merging with Squirtle's aura, the two becoming one!

Come on, Ash, Squirtle!

Xiaoxia's hair fluttered with the air wave, her beautiful eyes reflecting Ash's back.

Squirtle, come on, I'll keep letting Geodude and Onix be your sparring partners...... Brock stared wide-eyed at the evolving Squirtle.

Going to evolve into Wartortle?

No!

Still evolving......

Many eyes watched Squirtle evolve into Wartortle, but it didn't stop, still evolving!!!

"Squirtle~"

Squirtle prayed to the heavens, and the only response was its own daily hard training!!!

Bang!

The dazzling blue light faded, and the Blastoise that Squirtle evolved into appeared before everyone!

This...... double evolution!
