Chapter 1188: Ash vs. Ash
Early the next morning, Ash, full of energy, rushed toward the Battle Tower.
He was currently only on a ten-win streak and was aiming to reach thirty wins within the day!
On the bustling avenue, Ash carelessly collided head-on with another person.
Clang!
Head against head, it produced a sharp clunking sound.
"Hiss… ow, that hurts."
Ash couldn't help but bend over, clutching his aching forehead.
After a while, he straightened up, his expression changing.
That's not right. Usually, when he bumped into people... even if he didn't send them flying, they should be the ones crying out in pain.
Why did it feel like he had crashed into an iron wall this time?
"Hiss… ow, that hurts."
However, a similar cry of pain soon came from the person opposite him.
Taking a closer look, he saw it was none other than the local Ash!
"How is his head so hard?" "How is his head so hard?"
Clutching their heads, the same thought arose in both their minds.
But soon, the local Ash also recognized him as the mysterious person who had been watching his battle from the back of the spectator stands yesterday.
On his shoulder, he still had that rare, snowman-like Pikachu.
Ash composed himself and noticed that beside this local Ash were Brock, May, and the others, all staring dumbfounded at him.
Why is this person's face so blurry?
And his clothes... there was clearly nothing in the way, yet when they tried to get a clear look, his clothes were just as blurry as his face.
Most importantly, in their minds, they all felt this process was perfectly normal.
Brock's gaze, however, fell on the maid-like Latias behind Ash.
Long red hair in twin tails, an elegant, black-and-white maid's dress, mysterious amber eyes, and a charming, beautiful face...
Normally, he would have already transformed into a ravenous wolf and pounced.
"Eh, this big sister..."
Today, however, Brock was completely uninterested, without a hint of his usual muscle memory.
It was just like when he faced Jessie of Team Rocket.
And this red-haired maid's face... it looked familiar.
"As expected, this world's Teacher Brock is the one with a true rock-solid will!"
Ash, however, nodded repeatedly. Latias's transformed appearance was definitely that of a top-tier beauty among humans, yet this Brock was completely unmoved.
Then, the two Ashes met each other's gaze head-on.
"This guy..."
Although the local Ash couldn't see the other's face at all, a very strange sense of familiarity made his skin crawl.
And the Pikachu on his shoulder... why did its color look like it had recovered quite a bit today?
From being completely grayish-white before, it had turned a faint grayish-yellow.
"Let's hurry, Ash, your 19th single battle is about to start!"
However, the two groups didn't continue their conversation and soon entered the Battle Tower separately.
"Hiss, it's really like looking in a mirror..."
The local Ash couldn't see his face, but Ash could see the other's face clearly. It was a perfect match for his own!
But from the looks of it, I'm still much more mature.
"Are you? I think it's an even match."
"As a neutral bystander, I actually think that other Ash is a little more mature than you."
In his mind, Mewtwo's and Brother Red's sharp critiques made Ash's expression darken again.
Why don't you two go and have fun with that other Ash then.
Just as Ash had this thought, the red and white hat hanging from his clothes and the Master Ball on his belt both floated up at the same time.
"Good idea."
"I've grown weary, too. It's a good time to switch to a different Ash for a while."
A new tool is always more appealing.
Swoosh!
The next moment, the hat and the Poké Ball vanished on the spot.
"???"
Leaving only a completely bewildered Ash standing there.
He was just kidding!
Soon, on one of the floors inside the Battle Tower.
The Trainer in front of him had already sent out two Pokémon.
Ash could only put Brother Red and Senior Mewtwo, who were temporarily out playing, to the back of his mind and focus on his own Double Battle.
Anyway, sooner or later, they would understand that old wine tastes best!
"Chirp chirp...!!"
The crowd in the large room was noticeably bigger today, and the chatter was loud.
After yesterday's events, the Pokémon League Officials had already contacted Ash to ask about the two Pokémon he had sent out.
"Two ordinary Regieleki and Regidrago. Yes, they're Pokémon from the same series as your three legendary titans."
After hearing this, the automated receptionist was stunned for a long moment.
The three legendary titans they had heard about since childhood had suddenly become five legendary titans today. You could say that many tourists and spectators who heard the news flocked to this room, eagerly awaiting Ash's battle.
Word was that yesterday, this guy they were calling Tobias, the one with the legendary Pokémon, had achieved a ten-win streak with his Regieleki basically sweeping everything from start to finish. An absolute beast.
"Alright, you're up!"
Ash didn't disappoint them, still sending out the lively and energetic Regieleki and Regidrago, which resembled an inanimate stone.
Anyway, Regieleki was strong enough to sweep through.
If Regidrago just soaked up some experience on the side, maybe it would suddenly wake up one day?
Before him, one Pokémon had a pitch-black head, its surface covered with a white, hard shell with several holes. Its body radiated an icy aura, and it looked fierce and menacing.
On the other side was a light purple, upright beast with savage, bloodshot eyes. Its gaping mouth was larger than its entire body, making it even more ferocious than the first.
Glalie, Exploud!
More or less, Ash had traveled through most of the Hoenn Region, so for the Pokémon he was seeing now, he almost never needed to check his Pokédex.
"Take the initiative! Glalie, use Icy Wind to lower their speed!"
"Exploud, use Hyper Voice to control them!"
This Elite Trainer was clearly no rookie and was very skilled in Double Battles.
However, Ash's command was even simpler and more brutal.
"Regieleki, use Discharge!!"
"Bibi~!"
The bouncing Regieleki let out a high-frequency sound, then slowly raised its electric current arms.
Bzzzt...!!
The palms, composed entirely of electrical energy, instantly spread out from their ends, forming a dense net of electricity that swept over everything.
The wide-ranging Discharge attack directly scattered the Icy Wind.
As for the Exploud behind it, its throat hadn't even fully opened when dazzling electricity descended from the sky.
BZZZT-BOOM!!
BZZZT-BOOM!!
The Discharge attack split into two beams of electricity, striking both Glalie and Exploud and erupting skyward.
BOOM!!
Finally, it set off a massive explosion of energy, sending both of them flying.
As the smoke and dust cleared, both Exploud and Glalie lay on the ground, having fainted on the spot.
Easy. An 11-win streak.
Such a fierce and decisive battle made many in the audience jump to their feet, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
You can battle like that?!
"That Regieleki is way too strong! My grandma could command it and sweep them all the same!"
