—--------------------------------—
[Newbie Ash: I think I understand. So the Insight Eye's ability is to see through a Pokémon's aptitude in terms of ability values, right?]
[Breeder Ash: That's just a basic ability. At my current level, with just one glance, I can see through a Pokémon's strength, its ability Upper limit, its breeding level, what skills it uses, and even its living and fighting habits.]
[Breeder Ash: As for my ability, it should be a genuine S-rank. The fact that you drew an A-rank means you haven't obtained all of my current abilities, but it should be enough for your daily use.]
Ash's strongest abilities, in every field where he made achievements, were all incredibly heaven-defying.
For example, the Aura Power Ash first drew could even contend with the world's most top-tier Legendary Pokémon.
Although he didn't know the specific effects of this second A-rank ability he drew, even if it had just one of the abilities Breeder Ash mentioned, Ash felt it was well worth it.
Honestly, having a predecessor pave the way felt incredibly good!
[Newbie Ash: How do I use this Insight Eye?]
[Breeder Ash: Do you think it's a Pokémon skill? This thing is like my honest instinct. Just by looking at a Pokémon, you can get its data. If you really have to say, it should be considered a passive skill. You don't need to use it; you'll understand once you go out.]
[Newbie Ash: But I don't know anything about Pokémon levels or anything like that. I won't know what level it is, right?]
[Breeder Ash: If you had obtained my complete ability, the chat group would have directly instilled knowledge about levels into your mind. But even if it's not instilled now, you'll still be able to clearly see what level the opponent is, you just might not know the specific meaning that level represents.]
In other words, Ash might be able to tell if a Pokémon is Champion level or Elite Four level, but he wouldn't know the standing of those two levels within the overall leveling system.
[Breeder Ash: Levels are divided into Novice, Normal, Advanced, Superior, Professional, Gym, Elite, Champion, and God Realm. When you use Insight Eye, you'll easily see the Pokémon's corresponding level, and then you can compare it with the information I sent.]
[Newbie Ash: Okay, I've noticed it down!]
Ash silently wrote down what the Breeder said. He had never been this serious even when attending Professor Oak's classes.
[Newbie Ash: So what's that C-rank ability? Does it make me run faster?]
[Breeder Ash: That's for Pokémon. Didn't I say before that ability values have aptitudes from S to E rank? If you give that ability to your Pokémon, if its speed aptitude is below C-rank, it will instantly reach C-rank. If it's above C-rank, then this aptitude will stack, and there's a certain possibility it could break through its current aptitude limit.]
[Champion Ash: That's why we say your luck is off the charts. Even a C-rank ability is definitely among the most useful ones. It's much better than drawing some trivial knowledge like 'what to pair with dinner to make it taste better.']
[Newbie Ash: ...]
Good heavens, there's such useless stuff among C-rank abilities? How unlucky do you have to be to draw that… cough cough , it wouldn't be Non-Chief Ash who started this trend, would it?
Non-Chief Ash, who was fishing in the real world, sneezed, then looked left and right, suspecting the sea breeze was too cold, so he put on another layer of clothes.
[Champion Ash: Have you reached Viridian City yet?]
[Newbie Ash: Not yet, I should arrive tomorrow.]
[Champion Ash: That's quite fast. A reminder, don't challenge the Viridian Gym, and don't ask why. Wait until you have Gym-level strength before you learn about the Viridian Gym.]
[Newbie Ash: Uh… okay, I understand.]
Ash was a bit confused, not knowing why he shouldn't challenge the Viridian Gym, and in fact, he had only just learned that Viridian City also had a Gym.
If the Champion hadn't said anything, he probably would have gone directly to challenge the Viridian Gym after registering.
But since the Champion told him not to go to the Viridian Gym for now, he would put that matter aside for the time being.
After saying hello in the group, Ash left the chat group and returned to the real world.
It seemed like a long chat in the group, but in reality, it was only about ten minutes. The rain outside had only just stopped. Misty, leaning on her bicycle, was still drowsy, so she didn't pay attention to Ash, who had been meditating with his eyes closed for over ten minutes.
In this kind of weather, if there was a bed and a blanket, he could just lie down and sleep.
Back in reality, Ash turned his gaze to his Pikachu, and instantly, a series of messages appeared in his clear eyes.
[Species: Pikachu]
[Gender: Male]
[Level: Normal Advanced]
[Ability: Electrostatic]
[Skills: Quick Attack, Thunder Shock, XXXXX]
[Six-dimensional abilities: Physical Attack D—B (A) Special Attack D—B (A) Defense E—C (A) Special Defense E—C (A) HP D—B (A) Speed D—B+ (A)]
(Note: This panel is only listed for readers to understand better, it does not mean it appears exactly like this in Ash's eyes.)
Looking at Pikachu's six-dimensional attributes, Ash's head almost had tangible question marks appearing above it.
What kind of strange six-dimensional attributes were these?
D—B... Does that mean it fluctuates between D and B? Do normal Pokémon's fluctuating ability values really vary this much?
Then there was Pikachu's ability Upper limit, which was uniformly A-rank.
Although Pikachu was the first Pokémon Ash observed with Insight Eye, based on the lottery wheel, A-rank was already an extremely rare existence, second only to S-rank ability Upper limit.
In other words, his Pikachu's aptitude was unexpectedly good?
It was just that the ability fluctuation was a bit difficult to deal with. Normally, would there be a fluctuation of three levels? A single level difference in ability values is quite significant. No matter what, it shouldn't fluctuate up and down by three levels, right?
Or was his Pikachu special?
Unfortunately, without other Pokémon as a reference, he couldn't draw more conclusions.
In addition to ability values, he could also see skills, abilities, names, and levels. This passive skill was just like a Pokémon Pokedex, equivalent to a Pokedex built into his mind that could probe for more things.
But just as Breeder Ash said, this skill was not a complete skill after all, and it still had some flaws.
For example, Pikachu's ability, Electrostatic.
Ash clearly saw what Pikachu's ability was, but he didn't know what Electrostatic actually was…
