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

Chapter 69 The Little Fire Dragon on the Verge of Death, the Fusion of Rainbow Feathers!

As Xiaozhi punched Dayou in the face.
Dayou was also sent flying backward, crashing into the sofa. After knocking the sofa over, his body rolled more than a dozen times before slamming heavily into the wall.

Teeth and blood slid through the air, and the wooden wall was cracked by Da You's smashing, suggesting that several bones in his body were broken.

Since acquiring the power of Aura, Ash has always been careful to restrain his power. He knows that his power is very strong, and if he is not careful, he may cause serious injury to others.

This is true even without using waveguide power.

Until recently, he was finally able to control his power with ease, without worrying that it might accidentally harm others.

However, Da You's two short sentences immediately broke Xiao Zhi's composure, and he lost control of his strength, throwing a rather powerful punch.

Fortunately, when he threw the punch, Xiao Zhi subconsciously withdrew 90% of his strength. Otherwise, Da You would not have just been sent flying backwards and rolled on the sofa a dozen times. His head would probably have exploded on the spot!

But even after that punch, Xiao Zhi was still not satisfied. He was willing to cut this guy into a thousand pieces!

"What do you take the elves for! Just because of one sentence from you, that little fire dragon has been there for two days, not even daring to look for food, just waiting for you! It might even still be waiting for you to come to it, until the flame on its tail disappears!"

Dayou didn't answer Xiaozhi's question because he had already been knocked unconscious by Xiaozhi's punch.

Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia then realized what was happening. It was the first time they had ever seen Ash so angry. They each put a hand on Ash's shoulder and said, "Let's ignore this guy for now and go check on Charmander."

"Yes, it's more important to see Charmander. If we're any later, it might be too late."

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang's words calmed Xiaozhi down. He quickly turned around and prepared to rush out of the Pokémon Center, but was stopped by the furious Nurse Joy.

"I think you need to give me an explanation as to why you're causing a fight and disturbance at the Pokémon Center?"

Da You's howling also drew Miss Joey out from her rest. When she saw Da You, who had a mouthful of blood and was rolling on the ground in pain, she spoke up with a hint of anger.

Someone dares to cause trouble at the Pokémon Center again? They must be tired of living!

Not long ago, someone caused trouble at the Pokémon Center in Viridian City, and now someone is causing trouble at the Pokémon Center on the roadside. Do they really think that the Nurse Joy family is easy to bully?
"I'm sorry, Miss Joy. My friend didn't mean it." Xiao Gang quickly bowed and apologized to Miss Joy. No matter how badly Da You had gone, beating her up like that at the Pokémon Center was indeed disrespectful to Miss Joy.

"Sorry, Miss Joy, if you want to hit or scold us, wait until we get back. Right now, we need to go outside and find the Charmander that this guy abandoned. If the Charmander is still waiting for this guy in this rainy weather, it will die!"

Ash's brief words made Nurse Joy instantly realize what had happened. She then jogged to the front desk, took out three raincoats, and handed them to Ash and the others: "Be careful on the road, the ground is slippery outside, please be safe."

"...Thank you, Nurse Joy." Ash took the raincoat and thanked her. Then, while unpacking the raincoat, he rushed out of the Pokémon Center. Pikachu and Ralts had already jumped onto Ash's shoulders, with Misty and Brock following closely behind.

Watching the three who braved the storm to rush out of the Pokémon Center, and then looking at the group of delinquents who ran to Daiyu's side, Miss Joy had already made up her mind.

"Cheerful Egg, treat this person."

Da You and his gang were notorious delinquents in the area, and they even had some connections.

This is probably the first time they've ever suffered such a huge setback, given how arrogant and domineering they're used to.

Although Miss Joey didn't really want to deal with Da You, if she left him like this, he might suffer some kind of aftereffects, or even become paralyzed. For a doctor, it would be a bit of a challenge to her professional ethics to ignore something like this happening right in front of her.

Although her profession is serving Pokémon...

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends had already braved the rain and rushed out onto the road.

Even with raincoats providing shelter, they couldn't stop the cold rain from lashing their faces and exposed parts of their bodies.

In the pouring rain, they arrived at the place where the little fire dragon had been before.

As expected, the little dragon remained on the rock, and even the torrential rain couldn't make him leave!

At this moment, the little dragon was holding a huge leaf and was teetering on the brink of collapse in the torrential rain!

How can a single leaf possibly stop a torrential downpour?
Moreover, just as Ash and his friends arrived, several uninvited guests appeared beside Charmander.

That's the old villain—the Flock of Fierce Sparrows!
Four or five Fiery Sparrows surrounded Charmander, their fierce eyes fixed on him. In this torrential rain, they should theoretically be seeking shelter from the rain, and even if they were to bully other Pokémon, they should wait until the rain stopped.

But there was a portion of Pokémon food in front of Charmander, and that was their primary target; Charmander was their secondary target.

The five Spearows had a clear division of labor: two attacked the already weakened Charmander, while the remaining three slowly devoured the food in front of Charmander.

The two sides would occasionally switch places, satisfying their enjoyment of bullying the elves while also getting some food.

"Get out of my way!!" Ash roared angrily, but his shout did not frighten the Spearow. Instead, it made several Spearows turn their fierce eyes to him.

The next second, the five Spearow rushed towards Ash. Ash took the lead and swung out a chop, colliding with the sharp beak of the Spearow in front of him. In an instant, the speed at which the Spearow flew in was just as fast as the speed at which it flew back, and it could even be said to be faster!
After knocking away the leading Spearow, Ash glared fiercely at the remaining Spearow. The Spearow were quite intelligent; upon seeing their companions defeated by the opponent, they quickly assessed the difference in strength between the two sides and immediately turned and ran!
Before leaving, they didn't forget to take their partner, who had been knocked unconscious by Ash, with them.

After chasing away Spearow, Ash and his friends quickly arrived in front of Charmander. At this time, the flames on Charmander's tail were almost too faint to be seen.

Xiao Gang guessed that if Ash hadn't noticed Charmander in the morning and given it some food, Charmander probably wouldn't have lasted this long, given its stamina.

Perhaps he has already lost his last spark of hope in this torrential rain and his soul has returned to the heavens.

"What should we do, Ash? Judging from this flame, Charmander won't be able to make it back to the Pokémon Center!" Misty said anxiously, using her raincoat to shield Charmander's tail from the flames, trying to keep it dry.

However, this was only a drop in the ocean for Charmander, whose flames continued to shrink unless there was a way to quickly raise its body temperature.

Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth, and an anxious look appeared on his face.

"Wait...right, this is it! This should be useful!" Just as Brock and Misty were about to disregard everything and take Charmander away, Ash suddenly exclaimed. The next second, a dazzling seven-colored light rose in the dim rain.

Rainbow feathers! !
Rainbow Feathers, a divine artifact left behind by the legendary Phoenix King.

According to the experts in the group, the Rainbow Wing, besides being a key to challenge Ho-Oh, has various other uses and is considered a top-tier held item for Pokémon.

Previously, Ash didn't have a Pokémon that was perfectly compatible with Rainbow Wings, so he basically used Pidgeotto and Butterfree as Pokémon in rotation.

Since both of them have the Flying attribute, the Rainbow Feather somewhat amplifies their improvement. The fact that they can level up so quickly is also related to the Rainbow Feather.

Ash suddenly realized that the Rainbow Feather might be helpful for Charmander's current situation, so he quickly released Pidgeotto and took the Rainbow Feather from it.

This is also the origin of the seven-colored rainbow light just now.

"What...what is this?" This was the first time Brock had ever seen Rainbow Wing. Although Ash would switch Rainbow Wings between Pidgeotto and Butterfree before, Brock had never paid any attention to this.

Ash and Misty didn't mention anything about Ho-Oh to Brock. It wasn't that they were deliberately hiding it from him, since they had been traveling together and their time together had given them a good understanding of his personality.

The reason I didn't tell Xiaogang about their encounter with the Phoenix King was simply because... I forgot.

Seeing Brock's bewildered expression, Ash and Misty suddenly remembered that Brock didn't seem to know about their encounter with Ho-Oh.

"This is Ho-Oh's feather. It has a very strong life force. Putting it on Charmander should have an effect." Ash said, placing the Rainbow Feather on Charmander.

The rainbow feathers seemed to shine even brighter, and the small flame on the tail that had been hidden by Xiaoxia burned even more vigorously at this moment, at least it no longer looked like it could be extinguished at any time as before.

"It worked! Let's go, Misty, Brock, let's hurry back to the Pokémon Center!" Ash's face lit up with joy at the Rainbow Wing's effectiveness, but he didn't forget the important matter at hand.

Rainbow Feather can only partially restore Charmander's condition, and it won't get any worse. To fully restore Charmander, it needs to be taken to the Pokémon Center.

Along the way, Xiaoxia used her raincoat to shield Charmander from the flames behind him, Xiaogang tried his best to cover Charmander's body, and Xiaozhi firmly attached the Rainbow Wing to Charmander's body.

Ralts used her psychic powers on Ash's shoulder to deflect the rain that was about to fall on him, but she herself got soaked.

As they ran, they returned to the Pokémon Center in less than thirty minutes. Just as Ash was about to take the Rainbow Wing away, the Rainbow Wing simply disappeared right next to Charmander's surface!
Ash paused for a moment, then activated his Aura. Under the Aura's detection, he discovered an entity inside Charmander that didn't quite work in sync with his Aura. That should be the Rainbow Wing that had just disappeared.

Seeing that the Rainbow Feather had merged into Charmander's body, Ash didn't feel sorry for the Rainbow Feather, nor did he have time to wonder why it had merged with Charmander. In short, the current state couldn't be better.

With the Rainbow Feather working within Charmander's body, and the Pokémon Center's treatment, Charmander should be able to recover completely without any aftereffects.

Upon arriving at the Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy was already waiting at the entrance, but Daiyu and his gang were nowhere to be seen. Perhaps they had run away because they were afraid Ash would come back and beat them up again.

In short, not seeing them when he returned made Ash less angry. Otherwise, given Charmander's current condition, Ash would have loved to pull Daiyu up and beat him up again!
"Please, Miss Joey."

"Well, leave it to me."

Miss Joy took Charmander and then led Chansey into the operating room.

As a Pokémon center located by the roadside, this place is actually quite simple, with even the buildings made of wood. However, it is well-equipped, possessing the first-aid equipment that all Pokémon centers have.

Only the wealthy and powerful Joey family could achieve this level of wealth.

After a period of anxious waiting, Nurse Joy emerged from the operating room. Facing the slightly anxious gazes of Ash and the others, Nurse Joy smiled through her tense face: "Don't worry, everyone, Charmander is fine."

"Very good!!"

Since it was getting late, only a few people remained in the once packed hall. Miss Joey made a 'shh' gesture, signaling everyone to be quiet.

After all, many people who had stayed overnight at the Pokémon Center were already asleep.

After seeing Ash and the others cover their mouths, Nurse Joy smiled and said, "This treatment went so smoothly that I can hardly believe it. The Charmander that was brought in at the beginning was actually in a very bad condition, but there was a magical power in his body that stabilized his condition."

"With the subsequent treatment using the equipment and the power within Charmander's body, his condition improved rapidly. I even felt that if left unattended, Charmander would be able to fully recover thanks to that power within him. In all my years as a doctor, this is the first time I've ever seen such a situation."

Miss Joy exclaimed, still reeling from the miraculous scene that had just unfolded on Charmander.

As she said, she had been a doctor for so many years and had seen so many cases in her family of doctors, but this was the first time she had encountered a case like Little Fire Dragon's.

Logically speaking, in such torrential rain, Charmander's weakened condition should have worsened, especially since this Charmander is of a low level, making the rain's impact on him even greater.

In this situation, Charmander's physical condition remained stable and continued to recover. This suggests that either Charmander's physique far surpasses that of ordinary Charmanders, or there is something special about Charmander's body...

However, these were not the times for Joey to investigate. Although she was curious, she was just a doctor, and the fact that Charmander could recover was more important than anything else.

Ash and the others relaxed after hearing Nurse Joy's words and let out a big sigh of relief.

The reason why Charmander is in this state is probably only known to them.

The Rainbow Feather was more powerful than expected. The feather left behind by Ho-Oh not only enhanced the power of Fire-type Pokémon, but also possessed immense vitality, which is why Charmander was able to overcome the difficulties so smoothly.

"Ash, did you intentionally fuse the Rainbow Feather into Charmander's body?" Misty whispered after Nurse Joy left.

Ash shook his head: "It wasn't me, it was Rainbow Wing that fused with it on its own. I don't know how it happened. Butterfree and Pidgeotto never had this happen before."
