Just that Newbie Ash's foundation is truly too low. If his foundation were a little better, with his talent and luck, he might already have half a team of Elites by now.
Of course, Ash isn't weak at all now. Even though his foundation is dragging him back a bit, Ash's conditions are still exceptional, and it will only be a matter of time before he becomes the top powerhouse in the group.
[Advanced Ash: I understand, so this ability needs to be used when Pikachu advances to Elite level, right?]
[Champion Ash: Yes, that's the best way. Otherwise, it might somewhat affect the talent breakthrough afterwards.]
[Advanced Ash: All right! Besides this ability, there's something else… [Sky Dragon's Treasure Pearl·Guidance], what is this thing, I can't understand it.]
About the Sky Dragon, Ash knows a little, but what is the Sky Dragon's Treasure Pearl?
[Friend of the Divine Beasts Ash: The Sky Dragon's Treasure Pearl… if I've guessed correctly, it should be the Green Treasure Pearl, one of the Divine Beast mediums I just mentioned.]
A Divine Beast medium is similar to the Rainbow Wing in Ash's hand and the Seed of Life on Venusaur, considered an innate accessory separated from a Divine Beast.
So far, besides the voluntary gift from a Divine Beast, there isn't any known method to remove their innate accessories from them.
That's why Champion Ash said we shouldn't mythologize human technology; regardless of how advanced human technology gets, unless it can independently withstand a Divine Beast, human technology is still no match for Pokemon in high-end power.
Humans wish to use technology to control Divine Beasts, provided there are 'weaknesses' that Divine Beasts themselves let slip.
Like Palkia's Platinum Treasure Pearl or Dialga's Adamant Treasure Pearl, these primal elements of Divine Beasts have unknown origins.
If these get taken by evil organizations, what can be said? Just hand them over!
And now, the new reward Ash received is one of the Divine Beast mediums and is also one of the strongest Divine Beasts, the Green Treasure Pearl of Rayquaza!
[Advanced Ash: Green Treasure Pearl? What exactly is its function? Does it enhance Pokemon training speed like my Rainbow Wing and Venusaur's Seed of Life?]
If it truly possesses the effects of Divine artifacts like the Rainbow Wing, then it might barely qualify as S-Class. But compared to the previous S-Class rewards, it still seems a bit lesser.
[Friend of the Divine Beasts Ash: No, that's the shallowest effect of the Green Treasure Pearl. Its strongest effect is—summoning Rayquaza!]
[Advanced Ash: !!!]
What the heck? That thing can summon Rayquaza? That's really against the heavens!!
[Friend of the Divine Beasts Ash: The Green Treasure Pearl can be used in two ways: Firstly, you can use it anywhere, and Rayquaza will appear to unconditionally fight for you once. Which Rayquaza appears, whether it holds a Divine Position, is unknown, but it's certain that at least a Divine Domain Level one will be summoned.]
This means, holding the Green Treasure Pearl is like carrying a powerful talisman, virtually holding a Divine Domain Level Pokemon with you!
Thus, it truly deserves the S-Class reward, assisting Pokemon training and also summoning a high-level Divine Entity to battle—what more could you want?
However… Friend of the Divine Beasts Ash said there are two usage methods; one is summoning Rayquaza to help, what is the other?
[Friend of the Divine Beasts Ash: Apart from summoning Rayquaza to help, you can also bring the Green Treasure Pearl to the Sky Pillar to conduct a battle to capture Rayquaza.]
[Friend of the Divine Beasts Ash: But note, the summoned Rayquaza can at least exhibit Divine Domain Level power; although it won't use MEGA Evolution against you, even among Divine Beasts, Rayquaza is one of the most elite, displaying greater power at the same level.]
Rayquaza… MEGA Evolution… Such niche terms. With Rayquaza's power, if it undertakes MEGA Evolution, wouldn't it stand shoulder to shoulder with the Creator God?
Perhaps only a battle between MEGA Rayquaza and Arceus could reveal the truth. However, if Arceus truly is as the bigwigs in the group say, immune to all attribute attacks, then no matter how strong Rayquaza becomes, it's pointless.
Getting sidetracked, Ash hasn't even cultivated a Champion-level Pokemon yet (Gengar and Aerodactyl don't count), let alone Divine Domain level matters, only proceeding step by step can he truly reach the end.
As for summoning and capturing Rayquaza, that's likely out of the question in the short term—capturing Rayquaza, not possible now; even tied up with MEGA-evolved Mewtwo, he's no match for Rayquaza.
The gap between levels within the Divine Domain is perhaps scarier than between Elite and Champion levels; what's the concept of high-grade Divine Domain level? Perhaps a single Hyper Beam could obliterate them ten times.
So capturing Rayquaza, don't even think about it, he only received guidance from the Sky Dragon's Treasure Pearl, not the Green Treasure Pearl itself yet, imagining such things is too far-fetched.
[Unlucky Ash: Truly the chosen one, breakthroughs, Divine Beasts, everything good comes to you, what's your final S-Class reward?]
Unlucky Ash has gotten used to emotional damage, whatever you draw now, I won't be emotionally damaged.jpg!!
Sometimes when the gap becomes substantial, even the desire for comparison disappears; luck is like this, Unlucky Ash no longer wishes to compete luck with Ash, it's overwhelming!
[Advanced Ash: The last one… seems a bit odd, called [Light of Hope], what is this thing?]
With Ash's message, the group fell into brief silence; then one by one they started speaking, but all had only three words—don't know.
From the name, this reward should share the abstraction of the chosen guidance, to understand the specific content of this reward, one might need to venture out and accept the S-Class reward information.
The biggest distinction between S-Class and other rewards lies in having a 'manual', so once back in the real world, Ash will automatically receive this S-Class reward explanation, then naturally know its use.
Besides these three S-Class rewards, Ash also received five B-Level, three A-Level, and two C-Level, covering myriad aspects, some directly elevating Pokemon attributes to B-Level, others raising them to A-Level.
And some include knowledge related to Breeders.
Among three A-Level, one speeds up Pokemon attribute to A-Level, another familiar reward—Top-tier booster.
The final A-Level reward is a bizarre thing, named—Glowing Cuisine.
[Advanced Ash: Folks, what is this Glowing Cuisine? Is it about making food glow? How can this count as A-Level?]
[Kitchen God Ash: Hey, kid, belittling cooking? Wait, you're actually me… you can't look down upon yourself! Why can't Glowing Cuisine be A-Level? Don't you know how hard it is to make cuisine glow?]
Appearing! A new Ash!
This is another Ash never seen before, and named Kitchen God, could it be in some timeline he gave up the Pokemon Master dream to become a chef?
