Pokémon: Simultaneous time travel, this Ash is too versatile!

Chapter 61 The Tactical Master's Acrobatic Play: Level 1 Thin Veil, Level 70!

Ash's knowledge of Pokémon is still quite limited. Although he has experienced mentors, he has only been traveling for less than a month in total. It would be too much to ask him to develop a basic understanding of Pokémon.

He's already having trouble recognizing all the Pokémon in Kanto, let alone Pokémon from other regions.

The reason he was able to assemble this team was because when Tactical Xiaozhi in the group gave an example, he explained in detail the appearance, name, characteristics, held items, and moves of these Pokémon.

For Tactical Ash, assembling this team is at most a circus team, but it's incredibly easy to use against those who haven't seen this tactic before, or to deal with AI.

This acrobatic team can not only disgust others and please themselves, but also has a high probability of achieving a kill on the first encounter. As long as the opponent's team is not just a lucky one that happens to draw the team's weakness, then this team can basically be described in four words - a chaotic and devastating rampage!

So Ash memorized this acrobatic routine, which is why he was so familiar with it when he first used the game 'Pokémon Simulator'.

Ash didn't even get to know all the Kanto Pokémon yet, but he chose Pokémon from the Sinnoh and Hoenn regions. Luckily, this game has data on almost all discovered Pokémon except for legendary Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon items. If this version of the game were Kanto-only, Ash would have been able to choose Gyarados at most.

After Ash clicked "start," Chun could only suppress his desire to dissuade Ash from changing the difficulty. Although Ash had chosen Pokémon that he was not very familiar with or even didn't know, with four level 1 Pokémon, Chun didn't think Ash could defeat an Elite 1 trainer with six level 70 Pokémon.

With a triple disadvantage in the number of Pokémon, their levels, and the trainers, he simply doesn't know how he can win!
Even if you brought the champion, there's no way he could beat a fully-equipped Elite Four member with just six Pokémon!
Xiaoxia and Xiaogang also came over, looking at the clear picture on the computer screen with some curiosity, and wondering what Xiaozhi wanted to do.

If it were an ordinary trainer, even if they wanted to challenge the Elite Four level, they would definitely max out their Pokémon's level. But Ash must have his reasons for doing so.

Judging from Ash's wildly imaginative thinking during previous battles, he must be up to something again with some crazy moves.

What puzzled them was that Ash couldn't even recognize some of the Pokémon in Kanto, so how did he manage to select these Pokémon that didn't even inhabit Kanto?

Pikachu and Ralts jumped onto Ash's shoulders, curiously watching the screen on the computer.

On the computer, the system began randomly selecting the Heavenly Kings from various regions. After a moment, a beautiful and charming woman with sexy clothes and light blue hair appeared on the screen.

"What a beautiful lady! Isn't that Jouto Tenno Rika?" With a question and a tone of certainty, Xiao Gang instantly recognized the person in the picture.

Rika, the evil king of Johto, is a goddess-like figure with a sexy figure and beautiful face!
She would easily rank in the top ten of the older sisters Xiaogang most wants to know!
"Johto's Elite Four member, Rin? I wonder what kind of Pokémon she'll use," Ash remarked, his hands still working diligently.

His starting Pokémon was Hippowdon, while Rin's starting Pokémon was Umbreon. Hippowdon immediately activated Sandstorm upon entering the battle, and then Ash casually used Tackle, and Hippowdon was instantly defeated by Umbreon's Dark Pulse without even moving.

Ash showed no emotion and immediately switched to Cocoa Dora.

A level 1 Cocoyora has only a dozen or so HP, so it's practically powerless against a level 70 Umbreon.

"What are you doing? Isn't this just sending the Pokémon to their deaths?" Xiaochun asked, puzzled, after seeing what Xiaozhi was doing.

I thought Little Smart had some kind of strategy, but it just exposed its level 1 Pokémon to the opponent's level 70 Pokémon and then it was instantly killed!
Then they sent out a level 1 Pokémon to deliver it. What are they trying to do? Are they trying to experience how difficult the Elite Four is?
But these level 1 Pokémon can't experience the difficulty brought by the Elite Four. A single attack can easily defeat Ash's level 1 Pokémon. What's the point?
However, when Umbreon used Dark Pulse on AcroDora, AcroDora did not fall down immediately, but survived with only a little bit of health left.

Then, Cocodo launched a brute-force attack, and Umbreon's health dropped drastically, leaving only a barely visible sliver of health in the blink of an eye!
As the sandstorm raged across the field, Umbreon's last bit of health disappeared, and it finally collapsed to the ground!

Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, and Xiaochun stared in disbelief at the results on the computer, their minds momentarily blank.

What the hell is this tactic? Is this cheating?
Why would a level 1 Pokémon suffer such damage? Why didn't this Pokémon die after taking a hit from a level 70 Umbreon? Many questions arose in Xiao Chun's mind.

Xiao Gang had a thoughtful expression on his face. He had seen everything that Ash had done, from choosing his Pokémon, its ability, and its moves. Although he was not familiar with the Pokémon Acrobatic, he knew the purpose of the Brute Force move and the Sturdy ability.

"Sturdy, when a Pokémon's HP is at full, no matter how powerful the attack, even if it's a one-hit kill move, it can still retain some HP. That's why Cocodora didn't lose any HP."

"Brutal attack, a skill with no power, can force the opponent's stamina to be at the same level as your own as long as it hits the opponent. This is why a level 1 Cocodora can have such terrifying damage."

"Finally, add the fact that sandstorms don't harm Steel-type Pokémon, and take away the opponent's last bit of HP. That's the whole process of this tactic, right?" As expected of a veteran Gym Leader, Brock saw through Ash's tactic much faster than Misty.

By combining Sandstorm, Sturdy, Brute Force, and weather-specific moves, they managed to erase the seemingly insurmountable level difference.

But here comes the problem...

"After defeating one of the opponent's Pokémon, what should you do with the next one? The Sturdy ability can't be forced if it's not at full strength... What?" Before Brock could finish speaking, he watched as Cocodora's HP was instantly restored to full!
This touched on his blind spot in knowledge. How did he manage to do that?
