Noticing the latter's strange expression, President Goodshow simply walked up, patted Ash's shoulder, and said comfortingly:
"Hehe, young Ash, you don't have to worry too much. I just mentioned it on a whim because I found it interesting. Perhaps it was just a Trainer with an ability similar to yours."
No one ever said this kind of power was Ash's patent. It was the same principle as how if he randomly dropped a stone over Saffron City, he could very well knock out someone with Psychic Powers.
After a while, Ash raised his head again, his expression returning to normal. A strange light flickered in his eyes now as he secretly clenched his fists.
"Yes, I understand. When I have the chance in the future, I will go and see the village you mentioned."
Whether it was this legend, the special Hero, the Greninja, or even a ninja village, it had all piqued his interest.
"The Kalos Region, is it? I'll remember that name!"
Seeing this, President Goodshow just nodded with a grin: "Hehe... Young people should indeed go out and see more of the outside world."
Just then, the phone in his pocket began to vibrate. A glance at the time revealed that quite a while had passed. He hurriedly patted Ash's shoulder, his expression turning tense.
"Haha, I've taken up a lot of your time. I have urgent matters to attend to, so I can't chat any longer. Good luck in your upcoming battles! I have high hopes for you."
After speaking, President Goodshow dashed towards the main entrance in a great hurry. After the massage, both his mental state and his old bones were in excellent condition.
He had actually snuck out today. There were still many complicated affairs at the League that required his attention.
As he ran to the main entrance and his eyes readjusted to the sunlight outside, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
Feeling a slight pain in his head, he subconsciously pressed his palm to his temple and massaged it.
And at this moment, the memories deep within his mind were rapidly changing...
It was as if his previous conversation with Ash had triggered something. As he massaged his temple, a new record actually appeared in President Goodshow's memory. The afterimage covering the Hero's mural in the ninja village was gradually de-pixelating...
"I finally remember!"
President Goodshow suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, startling many passing travelers and Trainers.
The Hero's mural in his memory still didn't show the Hero's specific features, but this time, that one characteristic was completely visible.
Perched on the Hero's shoulder was a Pikachu.
Just like on Ash's shoulder earlier, there was also a Pikachu.
President Goodshow couldn't help but draw a sharp, cold breath.
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became. Even on such a hot day, a few drops of cold sweat trickled down his back, and his body trembled.
"Good heavens..."
President Goodshow turned to go back to the massage parlor to tell Ash about this new memory, but he was stopped by the matron. She informed him that Ash had already entered a VIP box inside and was enjoying a private service of "Unity of Heaven and Man." At this moment, not even a high-ranking League official could disturb him. This made President Goodshow sigh and leave the parlor.
"It must be a coincidence..."
There should be many Trainers who can use that state and also have a Pikachu, right...?
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Inside a certain VIP box in the parlor, Ash, wearing a yukata, was lying face down on a bed. Two days of high-intensity battles definitely called for a good massage to relax.
"Pika~"
On the other side, Pikachu was also lying on a small bed. Two days of high-intensity eye use also definitely required a good relaxation session.
A sky-blue, oval-shaped Mouse Pokémon, more than half as tall as a person, was applying its methods to Ash's back. Strong gusts of wind swirled from its hands, and it looked like its strength was considerable. However, this only elicited dissatisfaction from Ash. After a few minutes, he finally couldn't help but complain:
"Is this what you call Huge Power? Did you skip lunch?"
"Rill..."
The technician, Azumarill, stopped its movements, its expression a little aggrieved.
It had clearly used all its strength, even channeling the power of its Ability, but it felt like this human's bones were as solid as steel, impossible to move at all.
"Rill!"
But soon, Azumarill let out a low cry, its pupils shrinking as a ferocious light, visible to the naked eye, radiated from its body.
It was no pushover. Pulling itself together, it performed a sweep with its short little arm, instantly stirring up a fierce white light on its fist. It was the starting motion for Brick Break, and it looked like it was about to smash a Brick Break into Ash's back.
How dare you look down on my Huge Power!?
Meanwhile, Ash was still lying face down on the bed, unaware of what he was about to face, still complaining nonstop:
"Speaking as a neutral bystander, I have to say your skill level is far worse than Team Rocket's. The advertisement even mentioned 'Unity of Heaven and Man,' but I'm not feeling it at all. I think I might have to go from neutral to hater when it comes to the League after this..."
"Rill!"
Hearing this, Azumarill became even more enraged. It saw Ash as nothing more than a villain who had come to cause trouble. Without even blinking, it slammed down its Huge Power-infused Brick Break!
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!*
As it descended, it even created a series of terrifying, grinding sonic booms against the air.
Fighting-type moves have a type advantage against Steel. It was confident that one Brick Break could snap this detestable human's back on the spot, dislocating his joints and tearing his tendons!!
*Swoosh.*
However, the ferociously descending Huge Power Brick Break stopped dead three inches above Ash's back, not moving down another half-inch. The violent gust made Ash shake his head.
At this moment, the wrist of Azumarill's Brick Break fist was being held by a brownish-yellow hand.
It was a dragon's claw. The unremarkable flesh seemed to contain a terrifying power, like that of a demon god, and it had nonchalantly blocked the Brick Break.
"Rill-rill-rill..."
Seeing who had arrived, Azumarill instantly transformed into a soft, harmless-looking creature. It didn't dare to show any more anger, instead throwing all the blame onto Ash, complaining repeatedly that he was a villain who had come to cause trouble.
"Wooo~~"
The giant dragon simply shook its head gently, indicating that this guest was an old acquaintance and that it would take over.
Azumarill, meanwhile, watched the magnificent figure of the giant dragon before it with a look of adoration and carefully exited the room.
Although it had killed a few giant dragons with its bare hands in its younger days, Azumarill did not dare to show the slightest defiance towards this one. It knew the identity of the giant dragon before it.
The Deity of Technicians!!
"Wooo~~"
Seeing the outsider retreat, Dragonite got to work. Its Dragon Claw landed gently on Ash's back.
Ash: "!?"
The massage hadn't even begun, but he instantly felt it.
A thought flashed through Ash's mind. He lifted his head and subconsciously looked behind him.
In his sight was a brownish-yellow, Dragon-type Pokémon. It had a chubby body, a cute face, and a pair of small wings fluttering on its back.
"Dragonite!? Aren't you working for Team Rocket?!"
Ash blurted out, instantly recognizing this Dragonite. It was the super-high-level technician from Celadon City who had helped him reach the realm of "Unity of Heaven and Man."
"Wooo~~"
It seemed that finding a customer on whom it could use its full skills wasn't easy. This Dragonite also had a good impression of Ash. It greeted him with a grin, holding up a sign with a line of large text written on it.
"Life is tough. Here to work for the League for a month~"
This Dragonite's status was extremely high. Whether it was Giovanni or President Goodshow, they had to obediently queue up and make an appointment to enjoy its services.
Normally, it worked at Team Rocket's high-class club in the bustling Celadon City. But for this month, while the League tournament was on, it had come to work at the high-class club at the Indigo Plateau Conference.
One dragon, drawing two salaries at the same time!
"Damn..."
Ash's expression changed. It was only today that he learned how high this giant dragon's status was in the Kanto Region. It was so high that it could make Kanto's two top powers simultaneously give up their rights of private ownership, even treating it as an honored guest and sharing it as a resource.
"Wooo~~"
Dragonite extended a Dragon Claw and gently pressed Ash's head back onto the bed.
Then, with a flap of its small wings, its massive body leaped directly onto the bed, straddling Ash's body as if about to perform some earth-shattering technique.
No.
A peculiar look flashed across Dragonite's face.
In the past few months, it seemed Ash's physical body had improved again. In that case, it too needed to first raise its own condition to the ultimate state!
"WOOO!!"
Dragonite roared, spreading its wings and taking flight. It swayed and circled in the air of the small room, the muscles in its limbs and body continuously swelling and expanding. For a moment, the very air grew heavy, filled with an unusually terrifying aura.
Dragon Dance!!
The next second, the Dragonite, having completed its Dragon Dance boost, smashed a fist heavily towards Ash's back!!
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!*
