Chapter 1182: The Second Ash
Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
The next day, early in the morning.
"Ahhh, that feels good!"
Ash got up from the bed, and after a stretch that lasted a full three minutes, his face was once again brimming with vitality.
There was nothing that a good night's sleep couldn't fix.
"By the way, where is this place?"
Coming to his senses, Ash finally looked around.
This place… it looked like a guest room in a Pokémon Center.
He had been utterly exhausted yesterday, falling fast asleep on Latias's back before they had even landed.
This was the first time he had been so tired that he fainted.
Latias, having transformed into her human girl form, had carried Ash to the Pokémon Center and gotten a room.
"Thanks for everything, Latias."
Ash patted Latias's head.
The latter was still in her human form as a red-haired maid, and it was a little weird for her to be lying on his bed like that.
"Pika."
On the other side, Pikachu also slowly woke up.
But its energy was extremely low, and the huge dark circles under its eyes were even bigger than its electric sacs.
"Uh, hey Pikachu, why have you faded?"
Looking at Pikachu's originally yellow body, which had now turned a grayish-white, Ash was completely baffled.
"Pika."
However, Pikachu didn't want to answer, just lying there listlessly.
It would need at least half a month to recover...
Mewtwo's psychic barrier wasn't omnipotent; Rayquaza's tremendous rampage still had an effect on its body.
"Pika."
Pikachu lay on the headboard, looking with envy at Ash, who seemed completely unaffected.
*How about for the next few days, I'll be the Trainer and command you to go up and fight?*
After going out and handing all his Pokémon over to Nurse Joy to be healed, Ash returned to the canteen to enjoy breakfast with Latias.
These guys had also exhausted their stamina at the Sky Pillar and needed a good long rest.
Next, Ash stirred his food with a fork in one hand while flipping through his Pokédex with the other.
So, where the heck am I right now?!
"Beep beep, currently locating you at the Pokémon Center in Lilycove City!"
The Pokédex quickly gave its feedback.
Ash had stayed at the Pokémon Center in Lilycove City for a few days before...
However, after a quick stroll just now, he discovered the decorations and furnishings here were completely different from the Pokémon Center in Lilycove City he had visited before.
But the Nurse Joy here seemed to know him.
"Oh my! Ash, how come you're back? Didn't Brock, May, and Max come back with you?"
Nurse Joy greeted him warmly, but what she said left Ash completely confused.
What the hell!?
His heart jolted, and the words Zinnia once mentioned surfaced in his mind.
The Dimensional Transfer Device might have sent the meteorite to another world, a world exactly the same as theirs, but where no meteorite had ever appeared.
There, perhaps there would also be a Trainer named Ash.
Something called a parallel universe?
"Don't tell me I've really arrived in a parallel universe?"
Ash looked utterly bewildered. Could it be that this world also has an Ash?
He hurriedly took out his Pokédex, trying to search for related information.
After all, in his world, he was already someone whose name could be found with an internet search.
Maybe this world's Ash could also be found online.
"Beep beep. Target found."
After a good while, the Pokédex finally gave its feedback.
It was now connected to this world's network. Roaming caused conflicts with its locally saved data, so its loading speed wasn't very fast.
"Beep beep. Ash: 10 years old, a Trainer from Pallet Town. A Top 16 contestant in the Indigo League, Honorary Trainer of the Orange League, and in the Top 8 of the Silver Conference. Currently challenging the Hoenn League."
Ash: “...”
After hearing the introduction, he was utterly bewildered.
There really is a second Ash!
No, wait, *he's* the second Ash!
"Aaaaaah...!"
He clutched his head, ruffling his hair, his mind a total mess.
Based on what Nurse Joy said… is this world's Ash currently on a journey with Brock, May, and May's younger brother, Max?
"Wait a minute...!"
Ash suddenly lifted his head, a question arising.
So, in this world, is there a Brother Red too?
However, just as this thought occurred to him, the red-and-white hat hanging from his clothes began to levitate.
From above the brim, a pair of human eyes protruded.
"In this world, there is no second me."
Red replied in a deep voice.
To be suddenly sent to a parallel world by a Dimensional Transfer Device... this was also something he hadn't expected.
Yesterday, while Ash was sound asleep, he and Mewtwo had already roughly scouted out this world.
It was about 80% similar to Ash's previous world... It seemed the course of events also had certain differences.
Perhaps it was because of his own accidental insertion that Ash's life diverged in two different directions?
"So there really is a second me here? Heh, I kinda want to go and say hi!"
But by the time he had calmed down, Ash was already stroking his chin, his expression turning excited and expectant.
The nervousness and anxiety from his journey here had been tossed who-knows-where.
Indeed, there was no need to panic.
Looking at the other's list of achievements, his travel route was more or less the same as his own, but in terms of results, there was a pretty big difference.
It wasn't that Ash was being arrogant or anything...
After all, the rapid improvement of his strength was inextricably linked to Red.
One could say the latter was the catalyst for his rapid growth in strength.
Perhaps if Brother Red hadn't suddenly floated over on the first day of his journey... this other Ash's life might have been his own normal trajectory?
But right now, he didn't know where the other guy was.
"It's better if we don't meet."
At this moment, Red suddenly spoke, his tone becoming much more serious.
"Generally, when two identical individuals from different space-times meet, it seems to cause some kind of bad effect. Like world collision, universe disintegration, and so on."
"Uh, Brother Red, you've been watching too many movies, haven't you?"
Finally, it was Ash's turn to look at Red as if he were an idiot.
Strictly speaking, he and Brother Red could also be considered identical individuals from two different space-times.
Red: “...”
"Perhaps that's a real possibility."
At that moment, Mewtwo also levitated its Master Ball, its telepathy entering both their minds.
"The connection between these two worlds is much stronger than the one to Red's digital world. If the two Ashes meet, it could genuinely lead to unforeseeable consequences."
Hearing Mewtwo's voice, Ash didn't dare to joke around this time.
So now the biggest problem had changed...
How was he going to get back?!
After all, his friends and family were all in that world. Even if this one was exactly the same, they couldn't be treated as one and the same.
Moreover, his Hoenn League tournament was about to start.
Before heading to the Sky Pillar, there was less than a month until the opening ceremony of the Ever Grande Conference.
Counting the ten days of special training at the Sky Pillar...
He still only has 7 badges?!
