[Advanced Ash: A harem or whatever... I think having Misty is enough.]
[Harem King Ash: NONONO, that's just what you think right now, with my... I mean your charm, you'll definitely encounter more girls who fall for you in your future travels. By then, you'll realize how hard it is to say no. Let me go ahead and teach you how to have multiple wings.]
[Advanced Ash: ...]
Can I skip this? Of course not.
While Harem King was imparting his so-called emotional techniques to Ash, none of the other bigshots interrupted him. Perhaps even they thought this was a necessary path for Ash in matters of the heart.
Although Ash doesn't have many harems in other parallel worlds, it's not unheard of. Since this Ash is destined to become the jack of all trades, he can't lag behind in emotional progress.
After Harem King rambled on for almost half an hour, Ash had no idea how much he actually remembered. He just felt that matters of the heart were far more challenging than those of Pokemon.
Once Harem King finished his lesson, the other Ashes finally chimed in.
[Champion Ash: Although that harem guy is a bit shameless, the techniques he teaches are quite useful. Whether you want a harem or not, at least you can use those words on Misty. It might be beneficial for your relationship.]
Although Ash changed his name, the others still habitually called him "newbie," since he was the only newcomer in their group beside the others.
[Advanced Ash: Got it, I understand!]
[Harem King Ash: Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by shameless? Be careful, I might sue you for slander! Love between men and women is human nature. How is that shameless? Unlike you guys who upset the girls, I'm a man who wants to make every woman happy! Newbie, you should strive to be a man like me, got it!]
[Breeder Ash: Alright, alright, newbie, don't take his words too seriously. Or rather, only take them half seriously. By the way, you should've accumulated quite a few lottery chances by now, right? If you're going to face a Divine Beast next, you might want to try your luck to strengthen yourself.]
[Friend of the Divine Beasts Ash: Yeah, the Breeder is right. A Divine Beast with a divine position isn't easy to deal with. Even with Mewtwo capable of MEGA Evolving, you probably wouldn't last five minutes.]
No one understands more than the Friend of the Divine Beasts Ash how powerful a Divine Beast with a divine position truly is.
Even at his peak form, facing a divine position Divine Beast was life-threatening. Although Ash is strong in high-end combat now, he's still weaker than back then. If he encounters a divine position Divine Beast in this state, there's only one thing he can do — run!
[Advanced Ash: Uh... facing a divine position Divine Beast, is it really that serious? I'm just going to find parents for Lugia, there's no reason they should think I turned Little Lugia into a pacified form, right? Even if there's some misunderstanding, Little Lugia should be able to clarify it.]
[Scientist Ash: Too naive, newbie. Among Divine Beasts, there are many who stick to the old ways. Although from what I know, Lugia isn't one of those Divine Beasts, being one of the most gentle, the possibility remains that Team Galactic found a way to control Lugia.]
[Scientist Ash: Among humans who possess power like yours, I'm confident to say that in your parallel world, you're the only one. But this doesn't mean humans can't compete with Divine Beasts. Humans are wise but not strong; with the right tools, human genius scientists can use the power of science to control Divine Beasts, even those at the Divine Domain Level.]
Scientist Ash was speaking for the first time in the group, but he clearly already understood the cause and effect of the situation and was making astonishing statements.
Humans can use technology to control Divine Domain Level Divine Beasts? Even those with a divine position at the Divine Domain Level? How is that possible!
The power of the Divine Domain Level is incredibly terrifying; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's world-destroying. And with the divine position, a Divine Domain Level Divine Beast could wipe out an island with a gesture. Can humans really control such terrifying power?
Not even the top scientists at Team Rocket can create devices to suppress Mewtwo that hasn't reached the Divine Domain Level yet.
Creating a device that can control Divine Beasts with a divine position — Ash couldn't imagine who had such capability.
[Friend of the Divine Beasts Ash: Newbie, you might find Scientist's words a bit exaggerated, but it's really true. With the right medium, top scientists can create devices to control even peak Divine Domain Level Divine Beasts with divine positions. The world is indeed crazy.]
[Friend of the Divine Beasts Ash: I don't know about your world, but at least in mine... in our world, every one of the villain organizations has scientists who've used Divine Beasts as mediums to create devices to control them. From the sea-controlling deity Kyogre, the land-controlling deity Groudon, the time-controlling deity Dialga... all these Divine Beasts have been controlled at some point.]
