Chapter 301 Pikachu - Miracle Form.
[Advanced Ash: Uh—sorry, I didn't mean it, but I really don't know what the glowing food does. Does it make the food taste better?]
[Chef Xiaozhi: No, you've got the order wrong. Only dishes that are perfected can glow. Glowing dishes are the most delicious dishes in themselves. But this chat group actually rated my prized ability as A-level. I don't know whether to be angry or happy.]
He was angry because his world-class culinary skills were only ranked A, but he was happy because if his cooking was only A, it meant that his cooking had not yet reached its true limit!
The chat group contains the abilities and even the opportunities that Ash has obtained in each parallel world, which is why there are those abstract rewards and the abilities that each Ash possesses.
Powerful abilities are rated as S-rank, similar to the power of Viridian and the power of Aura. However, there are also those like Ash who have climbed to S-rank through their own efforts and talent, such as Ash the Breeder. If one could obtain all of Ash's knowledge and ability training levels, then his abilities would definitely be worth S-rank.
Chef Xiaozhi has only one ability: cooking. The dishes he makes come with all sorts of magical effects.
Healing, recovery, improving training efficiency, temporarily boosting the power of a certain attribute, and even temporarily granting a Pokémon a different attribute—all of these can be achieved through cooking.
However, since no one had ever extracted his ability, Chef Xiaozhi didn't know what level his ability was rated in the chat group, but now he does.
The glowing dish was the strongest dish he could make. If even this was only A-grade, then even considering his overall abilities, he couldn't possibly be S-grade.
This news was undoubtedly saddening, but it also excited him. It turned out that his cooking skills had not yet reached the highest level, and he could continue to improve. There was so much more that cooking could do!
He has indeed reached the pinnacle of culinary skills in the world, but he has not reached the pinnacle of culinary art. He is still young and can go further. If he hadn't learned today that he hasn't reached the pinnacle of culinary art, he doesn't know how long he would have remained stagnant.
[Advanced Player Xiao Zhi: So, Master Chef, what exactly is the purpose of this glowing dish?]
[Master Chef Ash: Oh, I forgot to mention, basically it's about maximizing the combination of ingredients to create new effects. For example, if you combine berries that boost a Pokémon's speed and berries that boost its power to make Pokémon food, there's a chance a third effect will appear, and the original two effects will be retained and maximized.]
[Master Chef Ash: You'll have to try it yourself to see how much of a boost you can get. It varies depending on the ingredients; better ingredients will naturally provide a better boost to your Pokémon.]
The so-called glowing cuisine is a result of maximizing the utilization of ingredients. Whether it is tree fruit or other ingredients that are beneficial to elves, excellent cooking methods are needed to bring out their potential benefits.
Some skilled breeders or chefs are considered top-notch if they can bring out 60% of the ingredients' potential.
Ash Ketchum's ability to utilize ingredients to 90% to 100% of their potential is something that even Ash Ketchum himself cannot achieve in every cooking session.
But this doesn't stop him from having reached the pinnacle of this path. According to Chef Xiaozhi's guess, if he wants to advance to S-rank, he probably needs to achieve a 120% utilization rate of ingredients.
As for how to do it, that requires a long period of reflection, and he certainly can't do it right now.
After Ash's explanation, Ash understood the function of this A-rank ability. In short, it makes his cooking taste better and has a powerful amplifying effect on both human and Pokémon bodies.
The items he won in this lottery were quite good, and it was worth the three months of lottery attempts he had accumulated. It will definitely be more and more difficult to get more lottery attempts in the future, but the experts in the group said that, theoretically, as long as he improves himself step by step, he should be able to reach a hundred lottery attempts.
He has only done about 30 draws so far, which means he still has at least 70 draws left. He just doesn't know how to get those 70 draws. If the experts in the group could tell him how to get the draw chances, he could get them faster.
However, the experts said that it's more fun to figure things out yourself, and Xiao Zhi thought so too, so he didn't dwell too much on how to get more chances to win prizes.
[Advanced Player Xiao Zhi: If there's nothing else, I'll be going now, everyone.]
[Champion Ash: Okay, go ahead and digest what you've learned today. I believe you'll make great progress in a short time. I look forward to the day you become one of the Eight Masters.]
There are many Ashes in parallel worlds, but only a few have actually made it to the ranks of the Eight Masters. The Champion has high expectations for the new Ash, and the other Ashes also have high hopes for him.
Because the Ash they trusted displayed potential far exceeding that of Ashes from other parallel worlds, all the Ashes in this group from those parallel worlds reached the pinnacle of their respective worlds in some field. It certainly sounds remarkable, but—
They only reached the pinnacle in one field. When they wanted to develop other areas, they faced significant limitations. While it wasn't impossible for them to reach the pinnacle in another field, it would take almost as long as it would to reach the pinnacle in their current field.
Even if they spend their entire lives, they could never cover all professions. They become complete beings, and at the same time, they have their own thoughts and ideas. They would never blindly follow the path of others. But the newcomer, Xiao Zhi, is different. He is a blank slate.
Now, his colors have appeared on this blank sheet of paper, and these colors were added by Ash from the whole group. Coupled with Ash's outrageous luck as a rookie, even if he stands at the pinnacle of the entire field, he probably won't be older than thirty.
This might be the only Ash in the entire group who can stand at the pinnacle of all fields and be crowned with the title of "all-rounder," and perhaps the only Ash who can challenge Arceus in the future.
Challenging Arceus is an unattainable goal for both Champion Ash and Legendary Pokémon Ash. Even though their battle power is at the pinnacle of the world, they are not afraid of even those legendary Pokémon, and can even defeat them.
However, they had absolutely no clue how to defeat Arceus. Both of them had challenged Arceus to a six-on-one fight, and as expected, they were defeated by Arceus when they were unable to harm him at all.
However, Arceus is a righteous and benevolent being, so even if the challenge fails, the two are not seriously injured, although their confidence is severely shaken.
To defeat Arceus, one must not only confront his unparalleled creation-level power, but also his ability to be immune to all attributes. In short, it's impossible to win.
Those who have fought Arceus probably don't think they can win, but in reality, Arceus is not invincible. After the two challenged Arceus, Arceus left them a message.
To defeat them, the primary goal is to collect eighteen items. As for what those items are, Arceus hasn't revealed much, so they'll have to travel all over the country to find out.
Currently, Champion Ash and Legendary Pokémon Ash are traveling and searching for the eighteen items that Arceus mentioned. Although they don't know what those items are, one thing is certain: those items carry Arceus's aura. If they can find one of them, they should also know what the other seventeen items are.
As for when they will find it—that's an unknown, but they're still young and have plenty of time.
Their hope that the newbie Ash would grow up quickly was also to see if, with Ash's luck and terrifyingly powerful destiny, he could quickly find the so-called item that could defeat Arceus.
[Advanced Xiao Zhi: Don't worry, I'll definitely make it to the Masters qualifiers! I'm determined to be the champion this year! I can't let you guys down!]
The eight masters have less than a year left, and Ash's strongest Pokémon, excluding exceptional Pokémon like Mewtwo and Gengar, are only the top gym leaders.
Anyone else would think Ash is just bragging, but not Ash in his parallel universe.
[Ash, the friend of legendary Pokémon: Hurry up, newbie! We're waiting for you to form the Arceus challenge trio!]
Ash didn't see the message from the friend of the legendary Pokémon; he had already left the chat group.
Once outside, Ash immediately received information about the three S-rank abilities. The effect of Limit Break ② is self-evident; it allows Pikachu to break through its current limits once again.
However, Pikachu cannot be used yet. The experts in the group have also said that Pikachu needs to reach the Elite Four level before it can fully unleash its power.
Only by pushing the current "first turn" to its limits can one truly stand at the top of the world in the future.
Therefore, this breakthrough ② has no room for use for the time being.
Another one is the Sky Dragon's Orb - Guidance. Just like the experts in the group said, it is an opportunity-type reward that guides him to find the green orb, just like when he accidentally encountered Ralts.
Finally, there's the reward called "Light of Hope." The only message this S-rank reward conveys is that no matter what, never give up hope, for the light of hope will guide you to victory.
Xiao Zhi upon seeing this explanation: ————
I don't understand it at all. It's too abstract. I have no idea what its specific function is. It's like a pie in the sky—you can see it, but you can't eat it.
Moreover, this ability seems to be different from the passive encounter rewards he had drawn before. This thing is meant to be used on Pokémon, but Ash doesn't know what it does.
"No matter what, an S-rank reward can't be too bad, right? I'll give this to Pikachu." Ash thought to himself, then used the reward he had drawn on Pikachu. The next second, the brilliance in Ash's mind vanished instantly.
Ash watched as a beam of light surged into Pikachu's body. Because the light flashed for only a moment, Ash wouldn't have even seen it if his senses hadn't been so sharp.
After the light flowed into Pikachu's body, the sleeping Pikachu scratched its cheek, then rolled over and continued to snore.
Xiao Zhi: ————
It seems like it's really useless, but whatever, it'll come in handy when the time is right.
Judging from the description, this thing might only work when facing a crisis or being in dire straits. However, Ash obviously wouldn't place his hopes on something so vague and unpredictable. If he really encountered something he couldn't solve, he wouldn't think that relying on that vague light of hope would accomplish anything.
Both he and Mewtwo now possess god-level combat power. What level of power would be needed to force them into a desperate situation?
That kind of power, can it be defeated by the so-called "light of hope"? Don't be ridiculous.
After summarizing the rewards, Ash rolled over and fell asleep peacefully. If Ash had used his Eye of Insight to look at Pikachu when the Light of Hope entered Pikachu's body, he would have seen that Pikachu's name had changed.
【Type: Pikachu (Miracle Form)】
The next morning, Xia sat up sleepily. Togepi was still fast asleep next to her. She glanced at the clock and realized it was already 8:30 in the morning.
"It's so late! Wake up, Ash, we need to get ready to leave, or we'll miss the airship!"
"Yes!"
They planned to go to the Orange Islands in the morning, then go to Professor Oak's place to get a Poké Ball called a GS Ball, and then head to Viridian City to take a flying ship directly to Daikan Island in the Orange Islands to find someone named Professor Wood.
The airship's departure time is 11:20, so they need to set off as soon as possible.
But when Xiaoxia got out of bed and looked up, she found that the blankets on top were already neatly folded.
Xiao Zhi left? When did that happen? How come she didn't notice?
