Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile

"Forget it, let's not think about these for now." Cynthia comforted Ash with a glance at the Arceus Phone in Ash's hand.

"Didn't you just say that the Plates could trigger a reaction from the Arceus Phone? Let's first see what changes the Plates can bring to it."

"Yes!" Ash's spirits were lifted instantly.

He sat on the ground, first taking out the newly acquired Insect Plate, then opened his Space Backpack to retrieve the first Plate he had obtained.

When the two Plates were placed together, the Arceus Phone on the ground noticeably became brighter.

Looking at the Plates in his hand, Ash's face showed a hint of reluctance.

"It's a pity, I was originally thinking of keeping these Plates for the Pokemon to use."

The Attribute Plates inherently contained extremely pure attribute power.

Allowing Pokemon of the corresponding attribute to be in long-term contact with the Plates could accelerate energy accumulation and help them master new Moves more quickly.

If the Insect Plate was given to a Bug Type Pokemon, the Pokemon's growth speed and Move learning efficiency would both be enhanced.

The other Attribute Plates had the same effect.

It's like the Divine Items his Pokemon had before; the value of such a level of item was worlds apart from ordinary items.

Possessing a Divine Domain Level item was an invaluable treasure for Pokemon below the Divine Domain Level, let alone this is not just a Divine Domain level item, but... a Creation Level item!

But the Arceus Phone also needed the power of the Plates.

The Plates likely related to the whereabouts of the Space-Time Gods and Giratina, and also concerned their ability to return to the present.

Compared to these matters, enhancing the Pokemon's strength could only be temporarily set aside.

"I'll have to let the Arceus Phone absorb them first."

Ash picked up the Arceus Phone and placed the first Plate in front of it.

The phone's surface immediately glowed with a soft white light, and the energy inside the Plate was drawn, gradually transforming into a beam entering the phone.

The entire absorption process lasted only a few seconds, and once the light disappeared, the Plate that had been in Ash's hand was gone as well.

The phone's screen automatically lit up, and for the first time, a series of numbers appeared in the upper right corner—1/18.

"Just as expected," Cynthia observed the numbers, deep in thought, "The Arceus Phone needs eighteen Attribute Plates."

"Collecting these Plates means giving them for the Arceus Phone to absorb, only then is it completing the 'task' it provided."

Ash placed the Insect Plate in front of the phone, and the green Plate similarly transformed into light, being fully absorbed by the Arceus Phone.

The number in the upper right corner changed to 2.

"Sixteen more to go," Ash looked at the number, feeling much more at ease.

Although eighteen Plates are quite a few, as long as each area's King and Mount Pokemon possess the relevant clues, they will eventually be able to find them all.

However, right after the second Plate was absorbed, the Arceus Phone's screen suddenly flickered.

The previously simple interface began to change, and a never-before-seen icon slowly emerged on the screen.

Below the icon were two words—Teleport.

"What is this? Teleport?" Ash looked at the phone in amazement, his face showing confusion.

"It seems that collecting two Plates has unlocked some new functions in the Arceus Phone. Let's open it and see," Cynthia moved closer to Ash.

Ash reached out and tapped the teleport icon, and the screen immediately expanded into a complete map of the Hisui Region.

The map marked areas like Jubilife Village, Obsidian Fieldlands, Crimson Mirelands, and Cobalt Coastlands.

However, most areas were in a greyed-out state, making them unselectable.

Currently, the only places that could be accessed were Jubilife Village and Obsidian Fieldlands.

Ash clicked on Obsidian Fieldlands.

Places like Heights Camp and Grandtree Arena that they had already reached all appeared on the screen.

A blue light hovered near each location.

"These should be the teleport locations," Cynthia quickly deduced, "Currently, we can only choose areas we have personally visited."

"The Crimson Mirelands haven't been unlocked yet, probably because we haven't been there."

"It might also require completing the tasks for that area first."

Ash reached out to tap the blue light corresponding to Grandtree Arena.

A new box immediately popped up in the center of the screen.

The number of people for this teleportation, with a spot to select the number behind the box.

Ash clicked the people selection, and two names appeared on the screen.

One was Ash, and the other was Cynthia.

Besides the two of them, there were no other selectable individuals nearby.

Ash looked up at Cynthia, who was also contemplating whether this teleportation function was safe.

However, since this phone was formed by Arceus's power, there shouldn't be major issues with spatial teleportation.

She nodded gently at Ash: "Give it a try."

"Alright." Ash selected both himself and Cynthia.

Pikachu leaped onto Ash's shoulder from the side, sticking out its little head to look at the Arceus Phone.

It seemed curious as well about the function of this newly appeared feature.

After Ash selected Grandtree Arena, a prompt appeared on the screen again.

[Would you like to teleport now]

"It's about to start."

Ash took a deep breath and pressed confirm, teleportation is not something he hasn't experienced before.

For instance, Mewtwo's Teleport and this journey back through a millennium to ancient Sinnoh.
