"Pikachu?" You're alive?
Pikachu's voice entered Ash's ears. Even though it was still a Pokémon's voice, Ash inexplicably understood what Pikachu was saying.
"Is this also the power of Bo-do Power?" Ash murmured to himself, his belief in what the people in the group had said growing stronger.
To be honest, even until just now, Ash had been somewhat skeptical about the existence of his parallel world self in the group, as such a thing was simply too unbelievable.
But now, after drawing Bo-do Power and personally experiencing its marvel, Ash almost completely believed in the existence of the people in the group and what they said.
He hadn't even started using Bo-do Power yet; just its passive effect had already benefited him greatly.
One of the biggest problems between Trainers and Pokémon is the language barrier. Pokémon can understand human languages, but for humans to understand Pokémon languages, it requires years of interaction, accumulating enough tacit understanding and bonds, before a very small number of individuals can achieve it.
But now, he could directly understand what Pokémon were saying without any cost. For a Trainer, this ability alone was a divine skill!
"Hmph hmph! I'm telling you, Pikachu, I've become incredibly strong now! Taking you to the peak of the world will be a piece of cake. If you're willing to get along with me now, it's still not too late!"
Ash crossed his arms, puffed out his chest, and with a confident expression, he laid down a challenge to Pikachu.
Hearing this, Pikachu looked at Ash with an expression like he was looking at an idiot: "Pikachu Pikachu?" Are you out of your mind?
"How dare you speak like that! I'm telling you, I can understand what you're saying now! You just said I was out of my mind, didn't you?!"
"Pi…Pikachu??" How…how is that possible??
Ash's accurate translation startled Pikachu, and its scornful gaze turned into one of shock and uncertainty.
"Haha, surprised, aren't you! This is my true strength, do you admit defeat?!" Seeing the expression on Pikachu's face, Ash became even more smug.
He was now like a child who had just received a new and exciting toy, eager to show off his new toy to his little friend.
"Pikachu Pikachu?!" What kind of sorcery is this?!
"What do you mean sorcery! This is Bo-do Power! It's a type of special ability!" Ash said with a displeased expression.
Then he clicked on the 'Instruction Manual' in his mind and began to look up how to use Bo-do Power.
The light points in his mind spread, and countless pieces of knowledge flooded into Ash's mind. For a moment, Ash couldn't 'read' it all. The methods for using Bo-do Power were diverse, just as Bo Dao Yong Zhe Xiao Zhi had said; this power was comparable to that of a legendary Pokémon, and its versatility in usage methods was unique!
Combat, perception, communication, soothing, telepathy, and so on.
Aura is something that exists within everyone's body, but those who can use it are few and far between. Moreover, Aura is related to the life force within the human body; excessive use of Aura can even lead to the cessation of life.

Therefore, if the Aura within the body is not strong enough, even if one can use Bo-do Power, they should use it sparingly, otherwise the side effects are definitely not something an ordinary person can bear.
The Aura within Ash's body now was given by the chat group; it was the power he had drawn.
And his body's inherent Aura was almost completely undeveloped.
In other words, the upper limit of Ash's Aura in this world was even stronger than that of Bo Dao Yong Zhe Xiao Zhi!
As for the development and usage methods of Aura, they were all in that 'Instruction Manual', but that knowledge was truly too vast. Ash only understood a general idea; to fully master it, he would still need a considerable amount of time.
But for Ash now, it was absolutely enough!
At least taming Pikachu would definitely not be a problem!
"Hmph hmph! I'm even more powerful than you now, Pikachu! You don't acknowledge me as your Trainer, do you? In that case, let's have a fight! Whoever wins, the other listens, how about it?" Ash pointed at Pikachu with one hand, indicating he wanted to challenge Pikachu to a one-on-one battle.
In the Pokémon world, to capture a Pokémon, one must battle it. Generally speaking, as long as one defeats the opponent in a direct battle, they gain the right to capture the opponent and receive their initial acknowledgment.
However, this rule had never been applied to humans versus Pokémon. It's simple: it's normal for humans to command Pokémon to fight other Pokémon, but how could a human possibly fight a Pokémon?
So, when Ash probably said that, Pikachu's face also showed an expression of utter astonishment.
He had been in human territory for quite some time, and this was the first time he had seen a human challenge a Pokémon.
"Pikachu Pi?" Ash, are you serious?
"Hmm? You called my name, Pikachu. If you acknowledge me as your Trainer right now, I can also not fight you." Hearing Pikachu call his name, Ash's face lit up with joy. Could it be that his personal charisma had directly made Pikachu acknowledge him as his Trainer?
"Pikachu Pi~~~" No, no, no, I'm just giving you a way out~
Pikachu waved its small hand, indicating that it was merely giving Ash a way out. Since Ash was so ungrateful, then it would get serious!
"Then let's see who's ungrateful!"
In the wilderness of Pallet Town, on a lush green path, a human and a mouse stood in confrontation. Pikachu's body flickered with a faint golden electric glow, and at the same time, a brilliant blue light rose from Ash's body!
"Pikachu Pikachu?" The light rising from Ash's body startled Pikachu, who even rubbed its eyes, wondering if it had seen wrong.
How could a human glow? Can humans also use moves? Isn't that power exclusive to Pokémon? Could it be that what Ash said about having Bo-do Power was true?
"Pikachu—CHU!!" When in doubt, hit it first! After a brief moment of doubt, Pikachu quickly gathered its internal power, then unleashed a golden electric blast that shot towards Ash!
Ash blocked with both hands in front of him, and Bo-do Power condensed into a barrier, blocking in front of him.
"Chhhrrr!" Pikachu's Thunder Shock struck the barrier and was completely blocked by it.
Pikachu used Thunder Shock!
Pikachu's Thunder Shock was nullified by Bo-do Power!
Ash began his counterattack!
Ash used Wave Bomb!
Pikachu—fell unconscious!!
"Eh! Pikachu! Are you okay?!" Looking at Pikachu, who was knocked out in one hit by Wave Bomb, Ash was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran to Pikachu's side.
He picked up Pikachu, then infused Bo-do Power into Pikachu's body. As a source of life, while Bo-do Power cannot directly heal injuries, it can strengthen life force, thereby making the condition of an injured person or Pokémon less dire, which can be considered a form of indirect healing.
A moment later, the unconscious Pikachu slowly regained consciousness.
