Pokémon Calendar, XX year.
This year, for all Trainers of the Pokémon League, it was a very turbulent year!
Because in this year's World League competition, the eight strongest Trainers were decided!
After a knockout tournament, these eight Trainers ultimately selected the strongest world-class Champion, whose name was—Dande!
From this year onwards, there was no longer any suspense about the strongest Trainer in the world.
Countless Trainers around the world also took Dande as their goal and began their own journeys.
Among them, in Pallet Town of the Kanto League, a young boy was also preparing to start his brand new journey…
…
"Waaah!! I'm going to be late!! Mom, why didn't you wake me up?!" A young boy in pajamas, with Z-shaped marks on both sides of his cheeks, rushed out of his room, shouting as he frantically searched for his clothes.
"Hmm? Ash, you're already fifteen years old, it's not right for your mom to still wake you up," the woman cleaning the living room said softly, but as her voice fell, the boy named Ash had already disappeared.
Ash was already nearly an hour late by this point, with no time to change clothes, so he dashed out in his pajamas and slippers.
Ash's house was nearly two kilometers from Oaks Research Institute, but he reached it in less than five minutes; the people in town only felt a gust of wind pass by, and then could only see a distant shadow.
However, just as Ash was about to reach Oaks Research Institute, he suddenly clutched his head, knelt on the ground, his entire face contorted.
At this moment, Ash was enduring a barrage of inexplicable messages, feeling as if his head was about to explode.
Chat group… Parallel selves… Ability inheritance… What is all this?!
'Congratulations on successfully joining the Myriad Heavens Chat Group. Everyone inside is a parallel version of you. Please communicate well with 'yourself' and reach the pinnacle of Trainers.'
'This chat group has an ability inheritance function. For various major events encountered in the real world, such as obtaining Gym Badges, capturing special Pokémon, and becoming an Elite Champion, you can receive lottery draws. The lottery content consists of various abilities from group members in the chat group. For details, please enter the chat group to view.'
The above messages were summarized after a chaotic flood of messages. Ash didn't understand anything about a chat group or parallel selves.
But he could now clearly feel that there was a point in his mind, and by focusing his consciousness into that point, he would enter the chat group mentioned by that strange voice just now.
The sudden bizarre event made the fifteen-year-old Ash a little scared. Was he possessed by a ghost?
However, being young and impetuous, he also possessed impulsiveness and courage. He thought for a moment and chose to touch the dot in his mind with his consciousness.
The next second, Ash felt as if his consciousness had left his body, floating in a vast, ethereal space, where there was also a giant frame.
"This… What is this?!"
[Champion Ash: Yo, a newcomer? Which domain's me is it this time?]
The sentence that appeared on the screen, along with the signature next to it, startled Ash again!
Cham… Champion Ash? What in the world?!
[Bo Dao Yong Zhe Xiao Zhi: Another big shot from a top domain has arrived. Group status minus one.]
[Breeder Ash: I wonder if the one who came this time is me who has achievements in breeding. Most of the people in this group play battles; it's hard to find someone who specializes in breeding.]
[…].
Looking at the messages floating in the group, Ash was even more confused. Champion Ash was one thing, but what were Bo Dao Yong Zhe and Breeder?
Updates are not easy, remember to share 101 Kanshuwang
[Ash: How do I send messages on this thing?]
[Ash: Uh, it just sent?]
[Ash: Who are you all? Why do you all have my name? What's with the titles in front?]
Ash tried to communicate with the other Ashs on the screen, but he didn't know how to send messages. However, with a thought, what he wanted to say appeared on the screen.
To send messages on this thing, he just needed to think.
[Champion Ash: It's normal for a newcomer not to understand the situation. Let me explain.]
[Champion Ash: The people existing in this place, that is, the group members, are all you. The world contains something called parallel universes. When you go left or right, two parallel universes, left and right, will be derived.]
[Champion Ash: And everyone in this group is us, who have made achievements in various fields. For example, I am Ash who became a world Champion after becoming a Trainer and going through various things.]
[Champion Ash: That Ash called Bo Dao Yong Zhe, although he didn't become a Champion by relying on Pokémon, he became a human-shaped mythical beast capable of clashing with mythical beasts due to his innate Aura talent. In terms of Pokémon, he is not as good as me, but in terms of body development, ten of me are not as good as him.]
[Champion Ash: The Breeder Ash after that specializes in breeding and has not achieved much in battles, but when it comes to Breeders, he is definitely world-class, even arguably the world's number one.]
[Champion Ash: So, newcomer, in which field are you at the peak?]
With Champion Ash's explanation, Ash gradually understood what the people existing here were all about.
Although he was relatively clumsy in terms of knowledge, Champion Ash had explained it so thoroughly. If he still didn't understand, what would be the difference between him and a pig?
In summary, the people in this so-called chat group are versions of himself from different worlds, standing at the pinnacle of different fields. Champion Ash focuses on battles, Breeder Ash focuses on breeding, Bo Dao Ash focuses on physical enhancement…
Being able to communicate with his selves from other worlds was definitely a very miraculous thing, but for Ash, there was a rather awkward situation…
Everyone else had reached the pinnacle in a certain field. In contrast, he had just set out on his journey, hadn't even received his first Pokémon as a prospective Trainer, and was currently late.
Compared to the big shots in the group, he was just a small fry!
[Ash: Um, I don't know what's special about me. I'm just about to pick up my first Pokémon, and I'm late.]
[Champion Ash: Hmm?! Just started traveling?! Really? The Ashs who come here have basically already reached the peak in a certain field. As for pure newcomers, it seems none have appeared so far.]
As a seasoned group member, Champion Ash was momentarily stunned. Had a pure newcomer actually joined this time?
To put it in internet slang, the Ashs in this group were already considered 'finished accounts,' but now a 'starter account' had suddenly appeared… What was going on?
