Pokemon Calendar year XX.
This year, for all the trainers of the Pokemon League, was incredibly tumultuous!
Because this year, the world championship tournament determined the eight strongest Trainers!
These eight Trainers went through knockout rounds, and ultimately chose the strongest world-class champion, whose name was — Leon!
From this year on, there was no longer any suspense about who the world's strongest Trainer was.
Countless Trainers around the world set their sights on Leon as their goal, beginning their own journeys.
And among them, in Pallet Town of the Kanto League, a young boy was also preparing to start his brand new journey...
...
"Whoa!! I'm going to be late!! Mom, why didn't you wake me up!" A boy wearing pajamas, with "Z" shaped stripes on his cheeks, rushed out of his room hurriedly, shouting as he searched for his clothes.
"Hm? Ash, you're already fifteen years old, it's not right to rely on your mom to wake you up." The woman cleaning in the living room said softly, but as soon as her voice fell, Ash had already vanished.
Ash was already close to an hour late, with no time to change clothes, so he dashed out wearing pajamas and slippers.
Ash's house was nearly two kilometers away from Oak's Research Institute, but he took less than five minutes to run there. The people in town felt only a gust of wind pass by, followed by a distant shadow.
However, just as Ash was about to reach Oak's Research Institute, he suddenly clutched his head and knelt on the ground, his face twisted in pain.
At this moment, Ash was bombarded with a bunch of inexplicable messages, feeling like his head was about to explode.
Chat group... the Parallel World me... ability inheritance... what is all this?!
'Congratulations on successfully joining All-Heavens Chat Group, inside are all the parallel worlds' you. Please communicate well with 'yourself' and ascend to the pinnacle of Trainers.'
'This chat group includes an ability inheritance function. Various major events encountered in the real world, such as obtaining Gym Badges, capturing special Pokemon, and becoming an Elite Champion, can earn prize draws. The draw contents include various abilities from group members; for details, please enter the chat group and check.'
The above messages were summarized after a bombardment of messages flooded in, about what chat group, what parallel world me, Ash didn't understand a single thing.
But now he could clearly feel that there was a point in his mind where, if he focused his consciousness on it, he would enter the chat group said by that strange voice.
The sudden bizarre event made the fifteen-year-old Ash slightly afraid, was he possessed by a ghost?
But the youthful vigor in him also included impulsiveness and courage. He thought about it and chose to touch that point in his mind with his consciousness.
The next second, Ash felt like his consciousness had separated from his body and was floating in a mysterious, ethereal space; in this space, there was also a huge frame.
"What... What is this!"
[Champion Ash: Yo, is there a newbie here? Which field's I have come this time?]
The words that appeared on the screen, along with the signature beside it, gave Ash another fright!
Champ... Champion Ash? What the heck!
[Aura Guardian Ash: Another big shot from a top field has arrived, group status decreased by one.]
[Breeder Ash: I wonder if the one who came this time is an expert in breeding, most of the group is into battles, it's hard to find one focused on breeding.]
[...]
Looking at the floating messages in the group, Ash became more confused. Whatever, that Champion Ash was already confusing enough, what were Aura Guardian and Breeder?
[Ash: How do I send messages here?]
[Ash: Uh, did this just get sent out?]
[Ash: Who are you guys? Why do you all have my name? What's with the titles in front?]
Ash tried to communicate with these Ashes on the screen, but he didn't know how to post messages. However, as soon as he had the thought, what he wanted to say appeared on it.
You just needed to move your mind to send messages.
[Champion Ash: It's normal not to understand the situation as a newbie. Let me explain.]
[Champion Ash: The people existing in this place, the group members, are all you. There exists something called Parallel Worlds in the world. When you go left or right, a parallel world of going left and right is created.]
[Champion Ash: And everyone in this group is us who have achieved something in various fields. For example, I became a Trainer, went through various events, and ultimately became the world champion Ash.]
[Champion Ash: The one called Aura Guardian Ash didn't become Champion through Pokemon but became a human-shaped Legendary Beast due to his innate Aura talent, able to tough it out against Legendary Beasts. In terms of Pokemon, he's not as good as me, but when it comes to body development, ten of me wouldn't match him.]
[Champion Ash: The Breeder Ash is specialized in breeding and hasn't achieved much in battling, but in breeding, he's absolutely world-class, you could say world-first.]
[Champion Ash: So, newbie, in which field do you stand at the peak among us?]
With Champion Ash's explanation, Ash gradually understood what the people existing here were all about.
Although he was rather clumsy in knowledge, if he still couldn't understand after Champion Ash explained it in such detail, what would that make him, a pig?
In summary, the so-called chat group consists of individuals from different worlds who've reached the pinnacle of varied fields, Champion Ash focusing on battling, Breeder Ash on breeding, and Aura Ash on body enhancement...
Being able to communicate with himself from other worlds was definitely something extraordinary, although for Ash, there was a somewhat awkward issue...
Everyone else had reached the peak in their fields, but looking at himself, he was only just starting his journey, hadn't even received his first Pokemon as a beginner Trainer, and he was still late.
Compared to the big shots in the group, he was just a small fry!
[Ash: Um, I don't really know what I'm outstanding in, I'm just about to receive my first Pokemon, and I'm late.]
[Champion Ash: Huh?! Just starting the journey?! Seriously, the Ash who came here have generally reached the pinnacle of some field. A total novice hasn't shown up until now.]
As a veteran group member, Champion Ash was momentarily stunned; was there really a total novice here?
Using online slang, the Ash in this group were already like accomplished player accounts, and now suddenly there was a rookie account... What was going on?
