[Breeder Ash: In summary, to achieve Divine Realm Grade, a Pokémon needs at least three S-rank abilities in its potential aptitude. Additionally, when it reaches the Champion-level peak, it must have at least three ability values raised to S-rank to qualify for Divine Realm Grade.]
[Newbie Ash: I'm a bit dizzy hearing this... It sounds really complicated.]
[Non-Chief Ash: Nonsense, that's the most peak level in the Pokémon World. If everyone could reach that level, and everyone possessed world-destroying power, wouldn't the world fall into chaos?]
[Champion Ash: Exactly. Moreover, having Divine Realm Grade Pokémon means you can contend with First-Class Gods who also possess Divine Realm Grade strength. If villains had Divine Realm Grade Pokémon, they would definitely target those legendary Pokémon.]
[Champion Ash: Every First-Class God has a divine duty. Once a large number of First-Class Gods fall into the hands of villains, the entire world's development would be unimaginable. So, it's incredibly difficult for ordinary Pokémon to advance to Divine Realm Grade. This means that First-Class Gods have almost no natural enemies other than other First-Class Gods. Perhaps this is a form of self-protection by the world.]
The words of the people in the group left Newbie Ash feeling somewhat confused, but one thing he understood: to reach Divine Realm Grade, S-rank ability values were the most basic stepping stone. Without at least three S-rank ability values, it would be impossible to reach Divine Realm Grade.
In other words, the Divine Realm Grade is closely related to a Pokémon's ability value aptitude. Other levels don't consider ability value aptitude, but Divine Realm Grade does. If a Pokémon doesn't have at least three S-rank aptitudes, it will never be able to advance to Divine Realm Grade in this lifetime.
However, in reality, this has nothing to do with the vast majority of people in the world.
Let alone Divine Realm Grade, even for Champion-level and Elite Four level, only a handful of people can reach them. So, even if the difficulty of advancing to Divine Realm Grade is sky-high, it has nothing to do with ninety-nine percent of Trainers.
[Newbie Ash: So, my Ralts already has the most basic conditions to advance to Divine Realm Grade, right?]
[Champion Ash: Hehe, Divine Realm Grade is still far away for you. Take your time.]
[Non-Chief Ash: Wait, what Ralts? Let me check the chat history.]
A moment later.
[Non-Chief Ash: Holy crap! You new guy, you really are cursed! What kind of damn luck do you have?! Can you really encounter a Shinny 6S Pokémon?! And it's a Ralts!! I'm going to puke!!!]
Non-Chief Ash had originally just joined the group and saw Tactician Ash and Champion Ash talking about S-rank aptitude and the Divine Realm Grade, without knowing what exactly had happened.
Now, scrolling up through the chat history, the more he read, the angrier he got!
How could someone's luck be this good?!
Even if that one-time S-rank ability played a huge role, drawing that ability was also a part of newbie Ash's luck!
And that one-time S-rank ability was only supposed to let newbie Ash capture a rare Pokémon, right? Rare Pokémon generally refer to species. Being a Shinny is already incredible, but what in the world is that all S-rank aptitude?!
Normally, it's absolutely impossible for a regular Pokémon to have six S-ranks. This isn't just Non-Chief Ash's personal opinion; in numerous parallel worlds, there have been no naturally occurring ordinary Pokémon with six S-rank aptitudes.
Yet, this newcomer, as soon as he debuted, encountered one, and it was a Shinny! How is anyone supposed to live like this?!
[Newbie Ash: cough cough, I'll be signing off now, esteemed seniors. I'm going to continue studying and absorbing the breeding techniques the Breeder senior taught me. Bye~]
Seeing the exasperated words of the Non-Chief in the group, Ash decisively went offline. Although the other party couldn't cross the internet to beat him up, seeing himself get so angry felt a bit strange... Back in the real world, Ash's eyes quietly opened a slit, and he looked at the sleeping Ralts beside him. He felt a surge of emotion. According to the seniors in the group, he had a clearer understanding of the rarity of his newly captured little one.
It could be said that in terms of rarity alone, perhaps only First-Class Gods could compare to her.
In terms of potential, she was also no less than those top-tier legendary Pokémon.
Why would such a Pokémon fall from the sky onto Mt. Moon?
And in the form of an Egg, immediately draining the power of the huge moon stone on Mt. Moon upon its appearance.
Only by draining the power of the huge moon stone was Ralts able to be born immediately; otherwise, her birth would have had to wait for an unknown amount of time.
This was the prediction of the seniors in the group, and the actual situation should be pretty close to it. Otherwise, that huge moon stone wouldn't have suddenly lost its luster after flashing.
With questions about Ralts in his heart, Ash slowly drifted off to sleep... Time flew by, and another half day passed. Ash and the others woke up around 8 AM, had a light breakfast, and continued their journey, finally arriving in Cerulean City before 2 PM.
Along the way, Ash never forgot his initial goal, engaging in battles with various Geodude, Diglett, Sandshrew, and Zubat in Mt. Moon, steadily improving his Pokémon's strength.
However, once they reached the advanced level, the increase in strength also slowed down. Butterfree still hadn't broken through to advanced-junior, Pikachu was steadily at advanced-intermediate, but Pidgeotto's level increased by one, reaching normal-peak.
As for Ralts, the little one currently only knew three moves: Teleport, Tackle, and Confusion. Although her aptitude was very high, she was somewhat outmatched against the generally normal-level Pokémon in Mt. Moon.
Additionally, having just been born, Ash wasn't very keen on having her battle. Instead, he had her train Calm Mind during their daily travels, so Ralts's level was still stuck at novice-senior and hadn't advanced.
This journey from Pewter City to Cerulean City was relatively short, only a day and a half, and they encountered quite a few things along the way. Therefore, it was normal that Ash's Pokémon hadn't seen a significant increase in strength.
However, considering Ash's travel time, the Cerulean Gym challenge he would face would only be at the lowest difficulty. So, even if Ash's Pokémon hadn't improved much, theoretically, they would still be more than enough to face the Cerulean Gym.
After all, this time it wasn't a type disadvantage, but a type advantage!
Upon arriving in Cerulean City, Ash and the others first went to an Pokemon Center, greeted his mother and Professor Oak, restored their Pokémon's stamina, and then prepared to go to the Cerulean Gym.
At this point, Misty mentioned that she had something to do and needed to leave for a bit, so only Ash and Brock remained to head to the Cerulean Gym.
