To put it bluntly, Ash's luck with these lotteries is unbelievably off the charts.
He's drawn so many times, yet he's never gotten a D-level, the lowest was C-level, then a pile of A-levels, and even two S-levels.
And if there's a ranking within these levels.
The Power of Viridian is the highest rank within A-levels!
Even the Eye of Insight that Ash got before doesn't compare.
The Eye of Insight is basically the observational skill Ash has developed over time, allowing him to instantly assess a Pokemon's general information and visualize it in his mind.
People like Misty and Brock, as Gym Leaders, can also discern the strength of Pokemon with pure vision, but to see through a Pokemon's potential or learned skills, that's not something ordinary training can achieve.
However, the Power of Viridian isn't something you can learn just by training...
No matter if it's Aura Power or the Eye of Insight, the new Ash has that potential, which is intrinsic to Ash himself.
But the method of obtaining the Power of Viridian is basically exclusive to those chosen by the Viridian Forest.
Wild King Ash also acquired the Power of Viridian through a stroke of fate; if it were up to his own training, it would be impossible to develop it.
[Newbie Ash: So to what extent can I use this A-level Power of Viridian?]
[Wild King Ash: All the functions I mentioned are included, it's just that you can't heal or calm Divine Domain-level Pokemon; that would exceed the A-level ability range, but it can still have some impact.]
[Wild King Ash: Additionally, the Power of Viridian can be incredibly effective in the wild. You can harness the power of nature, infuse it into a Pokemon, and temporarily boost its combat strength, which is why I named it as such.]
[Wild King Ash: In formal battles, I can't say I'm invincible, but in the wild, my Pokemon are the undisputed kings!]
The name Wild King means the king of the wild. Originally, Wild King Ash's nickname in the group was King of the Forest, but it overlapped with another name, Grass King Ash, so he changed it to Wild King.
In their world, there's also someone like Leon, and if Wild King Ash were to battle Leon in a formal setting, the odds would be about fifty-fifty, but in the wild—it's nine-to-one!
This is the power brought by the Power of Viridian, and this is how the name came to be.
[Newbie Ash: I see, thank you so much! Also, there's something else I want to ask you seniors, what is this MEGA Guide thing?]
[Evolutionary Man Ash: You drew the MEGA Guide? That's an A-level, right? Dude, how many times have you drawn?]
[Newbie Ash: Twice.]
[Evolutionary Man Ash: ...]
[Champion Ash: ...]
[Unlucky Ash: ...]
These two times left everyone speechless.
This newcomer truly seems like someone destined to counterbalance Unlucky Ash's misfortune!
Who draws lots like this? Is this some kind of custom tailoring?
Even Unlucky Ash, who's been quietly lurking, couldn't help but pop out; how on earth could someone have such incredible luck!?
[Unlucky Ash: Honestly, if I hadn't known you genuinely don't understand these things, I'd think you're here just to mess with me. Once your arena is open, we need to train properly!!]
[Newbie Ash: Uh... Sure, sounds good. Also, I want to ask you, Unlucky Ash, what level are your Pokemon?]
[Unlucky Ash: Just average, I have a Champion team, but that's it. Nothing compared to the top-tier seniors here; like the Champion Ash here, he has a Divine Domain-level Pokemon, and it evolved from a regular Pokemon.]
[Newbie Ash: A regular Pokemon evolving to Divine Domain-level... That's insane.]
[Evolutionary Man Ash: Hey, what do you expect! In countless parallel worlds, I am the pinnacle of strength. Breeding a Divine Domain-level Pokemon is nothing special. His Charizard MEGA evolved to rival the most powerful Legendary Beasts, even Ho-Oh has to back off a bit.]
[Newbie Ash: MEGA Evolution? What is that? Is it a type of Pokemon evolution? And how is it related to the MEGA Guide I drew?]
Ash quickly followed up after seeing the new terms pop up in the group.
[Champion Ash: Doesn't your world have MEGA Evolution? Or is it just that you don't know about the MEGA Evolution system?]
[Newbie Ash: Uh... Though I was pretty ignorant before, after traveling for over a month, I've learned a lot about the world from the internet, newspapers, and other sources. At least, I've never come across anything about MEGA Evolution.]
[Champion Ash: Do you know about Dynamax, Z-Moves, Terastal?]
[Newbie Ash: Uh, I know the first one, I think I've seen the term for the second one somewhere, never heard of the third.]
Among the three systems Champion Ash mentioned, Ash was only vaguely aware of one, which is Dynamax.
As Leon's signature system, Dynamax is incredibly famous!
However, this system can only be used locally within the Galar Region; outside, it seems to lack a certain energy, thus preventing Pokemon from Dynamaxing.
So the battles that determined the outcomes of the Eight Great Masters were all held in the Galar Region, just so Leon could use the Dynamax System.
