Now Ash somewhat understood the difference between A-level and S-level.
S-level not only transfers all abilities to him but also explains all the details of these abilities one by one.
However, A-level is much less; like now, he discerned that Pikachu's characteristic is Static, which is one of the insights brought by the ability, but this ability did not tell him exactly what Static does.
Ash faintly remembered that during Professor Oak's lecture, it was mentioned that every Pokemon has its own characteristic, and how to utilize a Pokemon's characteristic well is crucial in determining the outcome of a battle.
But characteristics are varied, and the same Pokemon might even have different characteristics. In short, it's extremely complex, and Ash basically forgot about it after hearing it.
If Ash had another chance, he swore he would pay attention in class!!
Besides characteristics, this ability also has some flaws in the insight of Pokemon skills.
The two moves he discerned now are two moves Pikachu had used before. Besides these two moves, Pikachu can actually perform other moves, but since they haven't been used, they haven't appeared in the insight information.
This is the limit of what an incomplete Eye of Insight can achieve. If it were the complete version, just one look could discern all the potential moves a Pokemon could learn, this was Champion Ash's original words.
From this, it can be seen that the gap between A-level and S-level skills is quite significant, or rather, it's a world of difference.
Beyond skill and characteristic, the last is Pikachu's strength.
As a Newbie Pokemon, it already possesses an Ordinary Advanced Level strength, which is considered quite good among Newbie Pokemon.
According to Champion Ash, the Pokemon received as starters are generally around the Newbie Level, with very few reaching the Ordinary Level, yet his Pikachu not only has all ability values capped at A-Level but also reached the Ordinary Advanced Level, which makes it top-tier among Newbie Pokemon.
"It truly deserves to be the starter partner I chose!" Ash once again showed a self-satisfied look, and Pikachu, hearing Ash's muttering, turned around to look at him, puzzled.
What is this guy talking about? He's muttering to himself again? Could he be possessed again?
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing the glow of dusk. The afterglow of the sunset painted the grassland into a golden yellow ocean, as if it were a massive oil painting.
The afterglow shone on Misty's face, causing the nearly sleepy Misty to wrinkle her pretty eyebrows slightly and then slowly open her eyes.
"Hmm~ Is it morning?"
"It's clear, not morning, Misty look over there, there's a rainbow!" Ash also stretched out a big lazy stretch, his gaze looking into the distance, and saw there, in the golden-red sky, a rainbow faintly appearing.
Misty, who was initially muddle-headed, instantly cleared up, and then widened her eyes, following Ash's pointing direction: "Where where…there really is! Such a beautiful rainbow!"
At dusk, the golden sunset and rosy clouds entwine, gentle and tranquil, seeing this scene could make anyone's mood delightful for a whole day.
While the two and Pikachu were immersed in the beautiful scenery, Ash, being sharp-eyed, suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a figure flowing within the rainbow.
"Misty, is there something inside that rainbow…no, is that rainbow moving?!"
"Hmm? How could it be, how could a rainbow… it really is moving!" Misty subconsciously wanted to refute Ash, but when her gaze refocused on that rainbow, she discovered it was indeed moving, just as Ash said!
The colorful stream was sprinkling in the sky, like a moving colored brush, painting the colors of the sky.
"Is that…a Pokemon? A rainbow-bringing Pokemon!" Ash exclaimed in surprise.
The rainbow Pokemon, initially shrouded by the glow of dusk, gradually emerged before the two.
That Pokemon was bathed in rainbow brilliance, vaguely visible as a bird-like Pokemon, its wings under the rainbow glow were crimson, with a golden crown and tail feathers, resembling a mythological Phoenix.
As Ash's eyes focused, the information of the Pokemon appeared before him.
[Species: Ho-Oh]
[Gender: Female]
[Level: Divine Domain Peak]
[Ability: Regenerator]
[Divine Status: XXXXX]
[Skills: XXXXX]
[Six-dimensional Ability: Physical Attack S (S) Special Attack S (S) Defense S (S) Special Defense S (S) Physical Strength S (S) Speed S (S)]
"Ho…Ho-Oh?" Ash mumbled the name shown, Ho-Oh!
Its level was so high it had reached the Divine Domain Peak!
According to the grading provided by Champion Ash, the Divine Domain Level surpasses the Champion Level, belonging to the world's peak level!
Champion Ash didn't explain the gap between Champion and Divine Domain, but as a level ranked after Champion, one doesn't need words to describe its terrifying nature, just like the Ho-Oh now appearing before them.
Besides the level reaching Divine Domain Peak, all Ho-Oh's ability values have reached S-level, belonging to the top tier.
Level and ability values, these are the Eye of Insight's information, compared to these two pieces of information, the thing that lets Ash feel Ho-Oh's strength more directly is the Ho-Oh's Aura he perceived.
If the Eye of Insight's information is not graphic enough, then the Aura Power's detection is very intuitive.
If Pikachu's Aura is compared to a small basin of water, then Ho-Oh's Aura is a vast ocean!
That Aura is even multiple times stronger than his, who inherited the Aura Power from Ash the Aura Guardian!
And also, there's an undetectable Divine Status…could this Pokemon be the Legendary Beast that the masters in the group mentioned?
"Ho-Oh? Really? But it does seem a bit like Ho-Oh! No way, the Legendary Ho-Oh was encountered by me! Oh my gosh!" Misty covered her red lips gently with her jade hand, her pretty face full of shock.
The legend of Ho-Oh has been circulating in both the Kanto and Johto regions. Many people have seen images of Ho-Oh, but very few have seen its true appearance.
Only because in a past incident, Ho-Oh was utterly disappointed in humanity and eventually chose to never appear before humans again, until now, which has been for hundreds of years.
It's said that if one sees Ho-Oh, the person will be granted eternal happiness. Although this rumor has never been verified, it doesn't stop countless people in the world from flocking to find Ho-Oh's figure, just to see Ho-Oh once.
As a result, she saw it not long after leaving home, which to Misty felt like a dream.
"..." Ash looked at the excited Misty, opening his mouth yet stopping, actually wanting to ask just what Ho-Oh is...
