Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile-Chapter 687 - 368: Defeating Suicune, Suicune’s Token, the Procedure to Challenge Ho-Oh

Chapter 687: Chapter 368: Defeating Suicune, Suicune’s Token, the Procedure to Challenge Ho-Oh

But soon, it felt the power within that kept healing itself, and precisely because of that power, it was able to wake up, indicating that the battle was over and it had lost.

Thinking of this, Suicune’s gaze toward Ash became complex. To be honest, before meeting Ash, and even after meeting him, it never imagined the outcome would be its defeat.

Although Lord Ho-Oh is powerful, this time it seemed to have miscalculated. How could it send him to test a seemingly just-of-age teenager? If it were a Trainer in their twenties or thirties, there might be a chance to pass the test; but Ash, at this age, is practically impossible to reach the Champion Level.

However, right from the start, Ash gave it a big surprise. What he possesses isn’t a Champion-level Pokemon, but a Divine Domain-level one!

If that Divine Domain-level Pokemon were sent to battle, probably within a single round, it would have fallen. There is no doubt about it. Forget about being a Legendary Beast or not; the existence of Divine Domain-level alone can truly be called divine.

Therefore, if Ash were to use that Pokemon, passing the test would be effortlessly easy. But Suicune was also very sure that this Divine Domain-level Pokemon was not raised by this young man single-handedly; even gods couldn’t cultivate a Divine Domain-level Pokemon at such a young age.

But no matter what, it’s still considered the young man’s combat power. However, the young man chose not to use that Pokemon but a Pikachu.

Suicune has seen a thousand, if not three thousand, Pikachu while observing the human world, but has never seen such a powerful Pikachu!

In terms of level, this Pikachu is stronger than any Pikachu it has ever seen, even though it hasn’t reached Suicune’s level, the title of Pikachu king would be well-deserved.

Then this Pikachu inexplicably boosted its power, rising from the Junior Elite Level to Champion Level, and even Champion Intermediate Level!

Leaving aside what kind of monstrous means this one-time big leap, plus a small stage advancement is, theoretically speaking, the forced level raised to this stage cannot be on par with Pokemon who step by step reach this level.

Yet this Pikachu not only matches in Ability Value and level, but its Ability Value actually surpasses its level!

A Pikachu that forcefully escalated from Junior Elite Level to Champion Level actually triumphed over Suicune in direct confrontation. If not for being still in battle at the time, Suicune would have stood there in disbelief.

Always it was Suicune exceeding its level to battle other Pokemon; when was it other Pokemon’s turn to exceed levels to fight it? And this isn’t ordinary level skipping, but leaping over an unparalleled gap from earth to sky!

No wonder this young man was chosen by Ho-Oh. Such potential, such ability, such strength—if even someone like this cannot become Ho-Oh’s emissary, to challenge Ho-Oh, then perhaps there isn’t anyone else suitable for the role.

"Oh~" Young man, you have successfully passed the first trial of the Three Holy Beasts. Please keep this testament well.

As Suicune’s call fell, a blue light flew from Suicune’s body. Ash instinctively caught the light, realizing it was almost palm-sized scales. Is this one of the proofs of passing the trial of the Three Holy Beasts?

Holding it feels like gripping a water ball, clearly it is a rigid scale, but it gives him such a sensation. The item from Suicune indeed stands out!

"Oh~" When you’ve gathered all tokens from the Three Holy Beasts, place them together with the Rainbow Wing, and eventually, you will be guided to Lord Ho-Oh’s dwelling.

"Got it, the remaining two of the Three Holy Beasts are Entei and Raikou, right? When will they come?" Ash nodded, storing the scale back in his backpack, curiously asking.

"Oh~ oh~" The other two will find their way to you at some point, possibly tomorrow, or perhaps months later, but within half a year, they will appear before you. Moreover, the tokens of the Three Holy Beasts offer considerable benefits to Pokemon with this attribute—before reaching Champion Level, the benefits are quite prominent.

"That’s amazing! Thanks, Suicune!" Ash widened his eyes in surprise, thanking Suicune.

Items shed by Legendary Beasts usually have various effects, but Ash didn’t expect the item Suicune voluntarily gave would have such an effect.

After all, theoretically, the item’s purpose is to locate Ho-Oh’s abode, to use as a token for challenging Ho-Oh. If it also has other special uses, it would indeed be considered excessively strong.

Turns out it really has special uses!

It’s just right; Blastoise lacks a Legendary Beast item. Among the Three Starters, Venusaur has Xerneas’s Life Branch, Charizard has Ho-Oh’s Rainbow Wing, but Blastoise had nothing.

Though the token given by Suicune is of lesser tier than the others’, since the items those Pokemon possess are Tier One God tokens, and Suicune’s tier...

But no matter, it’s better than nothing; henceforth Blastoise will be a Pokemon with a Legendary Beast item.

"What, what? What did Suicune say, Ash? Was that blue thing the so-called token?" Misty blinked her watery eyes curiously.

Suicune was speaking using Pokemon language, not telepathy, so apart from Ash, who can understand Pokemon language, no one else understood what Suicune said.

Upon hearing this, Ash roughly recounted what Suicune had said just now, and after learning about the scale’s effects given by Suicune, Misty and others showed amazed expressions.

Indeed, even items falling from the spaces between Legendary Beast’s fingers are much stronger than some carried items available in the market by multiple times.

...

Ten minutes later, under Ash’s healing, Suicune’s injuries had recovered significantly, and the rest could be completely recovered through Suicune’s self-recovery. Suicune formally bid farewell to Ash and others.

Next, it will continue to travel the human world, observing the happenings to report back to Ho-Oh. If Ash is able to defeat Ho-Oh, he’ll gain not only Ho-Oh but the command over Ho-Oh’s strongest Three Holy Beasts.

But that’s the matter after defeating Ho-Oh. Even after defeating Suicune now, Suicune can’t follow Ash just yet.

Misty watched Suicune’s departing figure, her beautiful eyes displaying slight reluctance. As someone who loves Water-type Pokemon, Suicune is certainly the ultimate belief—not just a Water-type Pokemon but an outstandingly beautiful one. Which Trainer aspiring to be a Water Type Pokemon Master doesn’t dream of capturing a Suicune?

Unfortunately, this Suicune cannot become a human’s Pokemon. There isn’t only one Suicune in the world, but this is the strongest and original Suicune, directly under Ho-Oh’s command, destined to become the Pokemon of the one who conquers Ho-Oh.

If it were another Suicune, defeating it would allow direct capture. However, currently Misty lacks the power to defeat Suicune anyway.

But this doesn’t stop Misty from setting a goal, which is to capture a Suicune on her journey. If it’s Elite Level, with effort she could defeat it, so she must strive hard for the upcoming Johto journey!

After watching Suicune leave, Ash and others continued toward New Bark Town. Ten minutes later, they finally reached their destination for this trip and the starting point of their Johto journey—New Bark Town!

"Silver Conference, here I come!!"
