After arriving at Viridian Forest with Misty, Ash saw himself from a parallel world.
However, this time, the future Ash did not take the initiative to say what his obsession was.
Instead, he simply stared at Ash with eager eyes.
“Why aren’t you moving?” Seeing that Ash had been standing there in a daze the entire time, Misty finally could not help urging him.
Ash turned back to look at Misty and slowly said, “Misty, I actually have a secret.
It’s a secret that even Pikachu doesn’t know.”
“A secret?”
Misty picked up Pikachu and reached out to scratch her head.
Ash then looked again at the future Ash standing in front of him.
He could not determine which parallel world this future version of himself came from, but the appearance of this illusory figure meant that he had an obsession of his own.
By fulfilling the obsession of his future self from another world, Ash could obtain a reward.
Whether it was to help himself or obtain the reward, Ash did not want to miss this rare opportunity.
But what drove Ash crazy was that this future version of himself would not speak.
Ash and Misty had already been standing in place for an hour.
Could it be that this future version of himself was mute?
But even if he was mute, he could still write, right?
Ash was about to break down.
In order to fulfill the other party’s obsession and obtain the reward for completing it, Ash made a bold decision.
He was going to talk to his future self in front of Misty.
“Yes.
This secret is that I occasionally see versions of myself from parallel worlds.”
“And standing in front of us right now is me from a parallel world.”
After saying that, Ash ignored Misty and Pikachu, who were already so shocked that their eyes were wide and their mouths were hanging open.
He focused his gaze on the future Ash in front of him and took the initiative to speak.
“Future me, since you appeared here, that means you have an obsession you failed to realize.”
“Tell me.
Let me help you fulfill it.”
Under Ash’s initiative, the future Ash finally reacted.
He stared at Ash suspiciously and said, “What proof do you have that you’re the past me?”
“???”
Ash was completely dumbfounded after hearing this.
What was going on? This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
This future version of himself seemed to have something wrong with his brain.
Although they were all dense idiots, he did not have to be this uniquely ridiculous.
Fortunately, after receiving Professor Ash’s reward, the current dense idiot was no longer stupid.
Faced with this situation, Ash only needed to think for a moment before knowing how to handle it.
“This is an ability that only belongs to us.
Other than me, no one else can see you.”
“This is my world.
You’re only a passerby here.
The only reason you can appear here is because you have an unfulfilled regret in your heart, and I am the person who can fulfill your obsession for you.”
After hearing this, future Ash fell into thought.
In the end, he shook his head.
“No.
I still can’t believe you.
What if you’re Team Rocket in disguise?”
“…”
Ash was already somewhat speechless.
“Isn’t your personality a little too cautious?”
Cautious Ash did not answer.
Ash sighed helplessly.
If the other party did not say what his obsession was, even if Ash wanted to help him, he would have no way to begin.
Just as Ash was about to give up, Cautious Ash finally took the initiative to speak about his obsession.
“My obsession is… that I didn’t become stronger in Viridian Forest.”
After hearing this, Ash finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the other party was willing to speak, everything was negotiable.
Even if Ash could not complete it, then that simply could not be helped.
Of course, Ash would still use all his strength to help his future self complete his obsession.
After all, helping his future self was also helping his current self.
“What do you want me to do?” Ash asked directly.
Although Cautious Ash was cautious, he was not stupid.
In the current situation, there was a high probability that he had returned to the past because of his own obsession.
This ability could allow the present Ash to help him fulfill the obsession in his heart, thereby settling his wish and allowing him to witness a version of himself without regrets.
“First, you must capture six Pokémon and assemble a full team.” Cautious Ash raised one finger.
Ash nodded slightly.
This was not too difficult.
The current Ash already had four Pokémon.
As long as he captured two more Pokémon, he could satisfy this condition.
“Second, all the Pokémon on your team must evolve.” Cautious Ash raised a second finger.
This time, it was Ash’s turn to be dumbfounded.
Without even thinking, he shook his head and rejected Cautious Ash’s demand.
“I can’t complete that obsession, because if Pikachu wants to evolve into Raichu, it needs to use a Thunder Stone.”
Cautious Ash’s expression immediately froze.
Then, as if he had suddenly understood something, he slapped his forehead.
“So that’s how it is!
I was wondering why I defeated so many opponents in Viridian Forest, but my Pikachu still never evolved.”
After hearing Cautious Ash’s words, Ash blinked and could not help asking, “Don’t tell me you’ve been traveling for a year and stayed in Viridian Forest the entire time?”
Cautious Ash nodded and said as though it were only natural, “Of course.
I won’t leave Viridian Forest until all my Pokémon evolve.”
“The outside world is too dangerous.
Only with enough strength can we protect ourselves.”
After sighing emotionally, Cautious Ash changed his condition.
“In that case, my second obsession is to make every Pokémon on the team evolve except for the ones that can’t evolve.”
Ash nodded.
No wonder the reward this time was so generous.
It turned out that this obsession was also much more difficult than the others.
“Ash, are you really talking to the future you?”
“Pika, Pikachu.”
Misty and Pikachu still looked somewhat unable to believe it.
Ash nodded slightly.
“Of course.”
“Then what did he say?” Misty did not mean to distrust Ash.
It was just that this matter had far too much impact on her worldview.
“This is a version of me with an extremely cautious personality.”
“So cautious that he even wants to capture a full team in Viridian Forest and make all the Pokémon in the team evolve.”
“And I need to fulfill his obsession.”
In just a few words, Ash summarized the conversation between himself and Cautious Ash.
It had to be said that after completing Professor Ash’s obsession, his intelligence had greatly improved.
His entire person seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.
After hearing this, Misty could not help screaming, “Are you kidding me?”
“Capturing Pokémon is one thing, but he actually wants you to make all the Pokémon on your team evolve?”
“You should know that my Starmie only evolved with a Water Stone after I raised it for a very long time!”
“Does that mean you’ll have to stay in Viridian Forest until you complete the obsession?”
Making an entire team of Pokémon evolve was undoubtedly an extremely difficult task.
Misty frowned, thinking about whether she should leave on her own.
She did not want to stay in this forest that was full of bugs everywhere.
