Chapter 363 Fighters, Mentors!
When talking about his parallel world self, Xiao Mao's face showed an extremely proud expression.
Although he is said to be traveling the world, he is still himself!
Becoming a champion in two years is a record that is absolutely unprecedented in this world. As for whether it will be unparalleled in the future—that depends on whether he, who has the memories of the parallel world, and the little AI can break this record.
"Becoming a champion in two years—you're amazing from another world!" Ash exclaimed with admiration.
Upon hearing this, Gary looked at Ash with some surprise: "You believe it?"
"Uh—I believe you! How could I not believe you! Although what you said is a bit far-fetched, you don't need to joke about something like this, right? No matter how outrageous something is, if this is the only explanation you can believe, then you have no choice but to believe it!" Ash paused for a moment, then said seriously, his face full of trust.
In reality, he was panicking. It was a close call; he almost gave himself away. Even Professor Oak looked skeptical, but he believed Gary's words without question. He wasn't surprised that Gary had acquired memories from a parallel world, but he was surprised that Gary from the parallel world had become the champion in two years.
This surprise is clearly misplaced, since the premise for being surprised by Shigeru's achievements in a parallel world is believing in Shigeru's claim of a parallel world.
Professor Oak still had some doubts, but Ash believed it without hesitation, because his current achievements were all thanks to his parallel universe self!
And just now, he almost revealed the chat group in his mind. After all, Xiao Mao had told them everything as soon as he got the chat group. If he were to hide it, wouldn't that be too petty? But Xiao Mao's experience turned out to be completely different from his!
According to Shigeru, he only obtained the memories of his parallel world self. He may have inherited some of the parallel world Shigeru's personality, but Shigeru obviously doesn't have a chat group, let alone participate in lotteries in a chat group.
If Xiao Mao is a young master, then he is an absolute cheater!
The two are not even in the same league. Xiao Mao only gained the memories of his counterpart from a parallel world, while he has the power to teach all of his counterparts from parallel worlds!
The difference between the two is that one only possesses the power of a single world, while Ash possesses endless, multi-dimensional power.
The two situations were completely different, so Xiao Zhi immediately stopped himself from revealing the chat group. The big shots in the group had repeatedly warned him not to reveal anything about the chat group unless it was absolutely necessary.
There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. If word gets out, he'll probably be dissected and never have a moment's peace again.
Ash's explanation made Professor Oak nod in agreement: "Ash makes sense. Gary, although what you said is a bit outrageous, this outrageous explanation happens to match your outrageous progress. Looking at it this way, your rapid progress in just one month doesn't seem so unacceptable."
"By the way, Gary, how's my parallel universe self doing? You won the championship in two years, so what about me?" Ash asked curiously.
He has the contact information for all his parallel world counterparts. If he can find out what his counterparts in other worlds are like from Gary, then he can ask Satoshi in that world in the chat group to see what exactly happened there.
Why did Shigeru suddenly gain memories of his other self from another world? And why did Shigeru in that other world change his name? What kind of weird name is Blue Green?!
Upon hearing this, Shigeru's initially proud expression, spurred by Professor Oak's praise, froze, and even turned somewhat ugly.
If he could, he really didn't want to reveal Ash's situation in the other world, because it was just too unbearable. In this world, he was constantly being suppressed by Ash, and in the other world, he was also being suppressed by Ash. When he received this information, he was really quite taken aback.
"Ahem, I only gained some of my experiences in the parallel world, as well as the methods of raising Pokémon, and some residual energy from that space that merged with my Blastoise. I don't know anything else, including your information, Ash. It's a pity, Ash, that I have no way of knowing how you are doing in the parallel world."
Xiao Mao thought for a while, and finally said with some regret.
The way he looked just now was as if he was earnestly searching his memories, but in the end he found nothing.
Ash looked a little suspicious upon hearing this. Gary knew about Ash becoming champion in two years, but he had no memory of him at all. Was that reasonable?
Not to brag, but for Gary, Gary should be the most important person besides his girlfriend, family, and Pokémon.
After all, they were childhood friends and had been rivals ever since they started traveling together. In addition, there was his connection with Professor Oak—all of these things convinced Ash that Gary definitely had memories of him from a parallel world, but for some reason he was unwilling to tell.
It's okay if you don't want to say it; just ask around and you'll find out.
Just as Shigeru was talking about his adventure and vividly describing the black hole, Ash quietly closed his eyes and entered the chat group.
[Advanced Player Ash: Guys, do you guys have someone named Bluegreen? He became champion in two years, the youngest champion in history.]
[Ash the Aura: Blue? Never heard of it, but why does this name feel so familiar? What's this person's relationship with Gary?]
Although Blue's name is completely different from Gary's, Ash, the Aura Hero, immediately thought of Gary when he saw the name, so there must be some connection between the two.
[Advanced Player Xiao Zhi: It's like this————]
Ash shared all of Gary's experiences and improvements during this period in the group chat. Ash would never have shared such core secrets with anyone else, but since it was him, it didn't matter.
Since Xiao Mao was willing to tell him about this, then telling his parallel world self is also a tacit agreement, right?
[Ash the Aura: I see. Is there a parallel universe where Gary is called Blue? But it shouldn't be here. Here, Gary is called Blue.]
[Champion Ash: It's from here.]
[Advanced Ash: Huh? Is it from the Champion's world? Does that mean Gary from your world became Champion faster than you? That can't be!]
The group is full of experts, but there are only two truly recognized experts: one is Ash Ketchum, who possesses many gods and has challenged Arceus. He probably has a whole team of god-level Pokémon.
The other one is champion Ash Ketchum.
If Ash became the strongest member of the group because of his legendary Pokémon, then Champion Ash became one of the strongest members of the group purely through his own strength. He is a member who has a whole team of legendary Pokémon through his own efforts!
In terms of talent, champion Ash is also the top one in the chat group.
However, even Ash, the champion with the most outstanding talent, is still overshadowed by Gary in his own world?
[Champion Ash: Hmm, Gary did become Champion faster than me, but he only stayed in that position for about an hour.]
[Advanced User Xiao Zhi: ?]
[Champion Ash: Because he just became Champion, I also challenged the Elite Four and defeated them all. Finally, I faced him, and I won.]
666, there are still experts!
No wonder Gary was unwilling to reveal his situation in the other world. So Gary was really that embarrassing in the world of Champion Ash?
Being the champion for an hour is quite something. If the Elite Four hadn't needed time to recover their Pokémon, Gary probably wouldn't have been able to be the champion for even an hour!
[Champion Ash: In my world, Gary has two names: his original name and the name Blue.]
[Advanced Ash: Two names? Why would he have two names? Did Gary's parents in that world think the name Gary didn't sound good, so they changed it for him when he grew up?]
[Champion Ash: Hehe, no, it's not that. It's just that Gary from our world also had his share of troubles, as did I.]
[Champion Ash: Rookie, you've felt the boost this chat group gave you after you got it, right? Even with such a powerful, almost cheat-like advantage, it still took you about a year to reach champion status. So, why do you think we both became champions in just two short years in Minecraft?]
Ash's words made Ash think deeply. He was right. With the help of the chat group, the many good things he got from the lottery, the help of various legendary Pokémon in the real world, and the knowledge taught by countless parallel world versions of himself, it still took him more than seven months to barely have three Elite Four level Pokémon.
Pikachu had only recently returned to the Elite Four level.
So how did Ash Ketchum become a champion trainer in just two short years?
[Champion Ash: Actually, when I first started my journey, a memory suddenly appeared in my mind—the battle methods of Pokémon, the training methods, the battle experience—so many things appeared in my mind as if they belonged to me.]
[Champion Ash: Besides that memory, I also discovered that I possess a special ability: when my Pokémon are in a difficult situation during battles, the more challenging the situation, the faster they improve and the more rapidly they grow. This ability is explained in the memories I've gained; it's called "Battler."]
The name "Battleman" is quite fitting, as it implies the ability to achieve rapid advancement through battles. This is also why Ash Ketchum was able to become the champion in just two years.
However, isn't the situation that Champion Ash described very similar to that of Gary? They both obtained a memory and then made rapid progress by relying on that memory. Although this thing is not as powerful as a chat group, it is definitely a rare treasure for any trainer.
[Advanced Ash: So, Champion, you got your memories from a parallel universe beforehand, became Champion in just two years, and then got the chat group, right?]
[Champion Ash: Pretty much, but there's one thing that's different from what you said. What I received wasn't my own memories from a parallel world, but someone else. That person is called—Red. Although their appearance and behavior are very similar to mine, they are not me. They might be a being similar to me from another world.]
[Champion Ash: Gary from our world is the same. He has the same fate as me, and the owner of the memory he obtained is named—Blue. That's why he has two names, but strictly speaking, Blue should only be considered his nickname.]
Now I understand. So that's how Gary got his two names from Ash's world. And in Ash's world, he and Gary have the same fate. Judging from the names Red and Blue, their relationship is probably like his and Gary's – they are rivals.
According to the champion Ash, although Red and Blue are similar to them, they are not parallel world counterparts. So, is the memory that Gary obtained from Blue, or is it from a parallel world Gary who obtained Blue's memory?
Perhaps it's the latter. After all, judging from Gary's grim expression, in his memories, he should have become the youngest champion, only to be immediately defeated by the champion Ash.
It's true that he's the youngest champion, but we should add another title—the fastest champion!
[Advanced User Xiao Zhi: I understand, boss. I'll head out now.]
[Champion Ash: Right, since Gary obtained that memory, he should have also obtained Blue's ability. Blue's ability is called "Nurturer."]
[Champion Ash: This ability focuses on training. Under identical training conditions, having this ability will increase the training speed by at least five times. This is an ability comparable to that of a battle expert. With this power, one can train team after team of powerful Pokémon at an extremely fast pace.]
[Champion Ash: But it's not without its limitations. Even if your training speed is faster than a battler's, the potential of this ability is lower. So, while Gary became Champion faster than me, I'm stronger than him.]
[Champion Ash: But you're different, rookie. You don't have the talent of a battle champion. Although you have the help of the chat group and the occasional lottery, you still need to be careful of Gary in the upcoming Silver Conference. He will definitely become a formidable opponent for you.]
[Advanced Xiao Zhi: Hey! That would be perfect, I couldn't be happier!]
Isn't this perfect? He had been thinking that the pressure and intensity Xiao Mao was putting on him weren't enough, but this intense competition is exactly what he wanted!
