Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile Chapter 343 - 197: The Source of Lucario’s Power! Ash: Time

Bringing wtwo back to the Alliance does carry so risk.

As Giovanni said, the Alliance isn’t all about righteousness and nobility. It’s just that Ash has encountered good people, but that doesn’t represent everyone.

If those with ill intentions in the Alliance learn about wtwo’s existence, then wtwo’s fate might not be much better than it was with Giovanni.

However, with Lorelei’s assurance, wtwo’s safety is at least guaranteed. Those with ulterior motives won’t be able to cross Lorelei’s line.

After so discussion, everyone decided to let Ash bring out a Pokeball, since wtwo was ultimately defeated by Ash. Although this doesn’t count as a capture, using Ash’s Pokeball to contain it is naturally the best choice.

After placing wtwo into the Pokeball, Lorelei and Agatha prepared to bid farewell to Ash.

"Actually, we have a lot of questions for you, whether it’s about your suddenly powerful Lucario or your Venusaur capable of further evolution. Both are incredibly intriguing, but there are more pressing matters to address now. When we have ti, we’ll delve into this further with you."

Lorelei said to Ash with a aningful smile.

She was extrely interested in GA Evolution, including Ash’s Lucario suddenly reaching the Divine Domain Level, a level every Trainer dreams of.

Even for Champions, this is a nearly unattainable existence, so Lorelei was very eager to stay and explore the mysteries of these two matters with Ash.

However, the matter of wtwo was more urgent. She needed to take wtwo back to the Alliance and prepare the best dical treatnt.

Once wtwo is healed, its future, and the genetic secrets within it, are points of focus for the Alliance. This could potentially relate to the mystery of ordinary Pokemon advancing to the Divine Domain Level, and as mbers of the Elite Four of Kanto, they need to be involved.

...

After parting with Lorelei, Ash and the others went to the Pokemon Center. Both Gary and Ash handed their Pokemon to Miss Joy.

Gary’s Pokemon had all been ravaged by wtwo, suffering serious injuries. If not for Ash getting caught in the whirlpool, Gary would have long gone from the Viridian Gym to the Pokemon Center for treatnt.

Ash’s Venusaur and Lucario hadn’t suffered much damage; they were still quite spirited, though their physical strength was slightly depleted, especially Venusaur, as one move nearly exhausted it.

After leaving their Pokemon, Ash and his companions found a place to sit in the Pokemon Center. Since Ash wasn’t wearing a mask, so people around recognized him.

Although Ash recently lost to Lorelei, it demonstrated that his skills weren’t just for show; it was a narrow defeat. At his age and with such strength, he was scary among Trainers.

Thus, Ash’s reputation rose even higher than before.

The rumors Giovanni spread to sar Ash now beca stepping stones that further boosted Ash’s fa.

However, the people who recognized Ash in the Pokemon Center were quite rational. They just asked Ash for an autograph and a photo, then happily left, satisfied with that.

These photos and autographs would be invaluable if Ash truly beca a mber of the Elite Four one day.

Although they didn’t ask Ash for autographs and photos with this purpose, the higher the value of these things, the more it proves their keen insight, which certainly made them happier.

"...You’re quite popular now, Ash." Brock said enviously as Ash signed a sowhat ugly na on a big sister’s shirt.

If he had Ash’s na, with so many big sisters coming for autographs and photos, or even showing affection, he couldn’t imagine what kind of paradise he would be in!

But it was all just a fantasy; in reality, only Ash was popular, not him.

Hearing this, Ash showed a sowhat complacent expression: "Hehe, my fans are earned through real strength! If you, Brock, could battle Miss Lorelei on equal footing, you’d probably have a lot of fans too."

In the Pokemon world, Trainers are the most popular profession, and powerful Trainers are akin to celebrities. Ash and Lorelei are perfect examples.

The three beautiful won performing water ballet had cheap tickets, yet were mostly ignored unless it was a holiday, when more people ca to watch.

But the battle between Ash and Lorelei, even without any publicity, spread quickly in Cerulean City, and everyone knew about it in no ti.

The huge Cerulean Gym was filled in the blink of an eye.

The influence of powerful Trainers is evident.

Hearing this, Brock’s mouth twitched. Battling evenly with Lorelei? He couldn’t even beat Blaine, and slightly stronger Gym Leaders could still give him a hard ti.

Among all the Gym Leaders, his overall strength only ranked slightly above average. Previously, his strongest Pokemon was only at the Professional Middle Level.
