The Strongest Trainer - (Translator/editor)

Eight years have passed, and Ash is now fifteen years old.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of his journey as a Pokémon trainer. Over these eight years, Ash has fought countless battles, big and small, in the forests behind Pallet Town.

His battle experience is extensive, and combined with his past life's skills as a killer, Ash is highly confident in his abilities.

The stamina recovery potion he created, a blue item, received an overwhelmingly positive market response.

The revenue from this potion alone boosted the Oak family's economy to a state of financial stability.

In fact, they now have no money concerns. The profits from the potion are distributed as follows: the Alliance takes 30%, the Oak family receives 50%, and the remaining 20% is divided between the Joy family and the Jenny family.

Any major family trading in this world must have Alliance approval, which justifies the Alliance's share.

Additionally, the Alliance's support ensures smooth operations.

The Joy family, with its expertise in the pharmaceutical industry, sells Ash's potion in their stores, earning a well-deserved 10% share.

Meanwhile, the Jenny family, being the law enforcement network in this world, has representatives in every region, making their 10% share a valuable tradeoff for logistical and strategic support.

Ash's battles over the years have not only sharpened his Pokémon's skills but have also granted them rare attribute points.

Although the points are few—only five—they are incredibly hard to earn, making them a cherished reward for his efforts.

"System, show me the data for my body and my Pokémon!" Ash said as he prepared for bed, intending to review the stats and plan future training sessions.

"Ding~!"

Looking over his progress from the past eight years, Ash couldn't help but feel satisfied.

At only fifteen years old, achieving the rank of gym leader was a rare feat. His accomplishments were exceptional; after all, even the youngest champion of the Drago family, Lance, had only reached the rank of Elite Four at twenty-three years old.

Similarly, Cynthia, the champion of the Sinnoh region, didn't enter the Gym leader level until she was twenty-five.

Ash's training methods had proven effective, particularly his adaptation of techniques inspired by Naruto's world.

By integrating these techniques with the unique physiology of Pokémon, Ash had created an unconventional but highly efficient system.

For example, Pikachu had mastered moves modeled after Chidori and its variants, making its attacks more aggressive and devastating.

The seamless blending of Naruto-inspired skills and traditional Pokémon training had elevated Ash's team to new heights.

Reflecting on this progress, Ash smiled confidently. "I may still have a long way to go before becoming a true Pokémon Master, but I'm young, and time is on my side."

For the past eight years, Ash's activities as a medicine maker have been kept secret from the public.

While his medicinal creations have gained recognition, his identity and appearance remain unknown to the general populace.

Thanks to the influence of the Oak family, Ash's anonymity has been preserved, as he had no desire to seek fame during his dedicated years of training.

However, this secrecy could not be maintained within the circles of major families.

Among these elites, Ash's name is well-known, especially for his contributions to medicine.

Some elders of the Drago family, who had initially dismissed Ash, deeply regretted their actions upon learning of his success.

It is said that Tony Drago, the former patriarch, was infuriated when he discovered the elders' earlier treatment of Ash.

Juny Drago, in particular, faced the brunt of his wrath and was nearly punished severely.

Tony was especially disheartened to learn of Ash's resentment toward the Drago family, blaming the elders for losing a grandson of such extraordinary talent during his absence.

In contrast to the troubled dynamics within the Drago family, the Oak family has thrived.

With the substantial economic support provided by Ash's medicinal innovations, their development has been robust. Proper management of these resources ensures that financial concerns are a thing of the past for the family.

The following day marked the beginning of Ash's journey as a Pokémon Trainer.

While most new trainers eagerly arrived by 7:00 a.m. to receive their first Pokémon, Ash, already well-equipped with his own team, woke up leisurely at 8:00 a.m., unconcerned about the official distribution of starter Pokémon.

Looking at the clothes neatly laid out beside him, Ash remained silent for a moment before getting dressed.

These clothes were lovingly sewn by Delia, stitch by stitch, with each thread imbued with her deep affection for her son.

Fully dressed, Ash exuded a striking presence.

His sharp features and confident demeanor drew attention, but it was his crimson eyes—resembling gleaming rubies—that truly captivated.

"Pika~ Pika~!" Pikachu chirped happily, greeting Ash as he came downstairs.

Pikachu had already started eating breakfast, while Ash's other Pokémon remained in their Poké Balls.

After all, Pikachu never liked staying inside its Poké Ball and preferred to roam freely.

"Morning, mother, Pikachu!" Ash greeted his mother and companion warmly and grabbed a sandwich to eat.

"You're up late today, Ash. Are you sure everything's okay?" Delia asked, her tone filled with concern as she noticed her son rising later than usual.

"Don't worry, Mom," Ash replied casually.

"I already have my Pokémon. There's no need for me to pick up any beginner-level ones." His confident tone reassured her, but his words carried the weight of his hard-earned knowledge.

During his years of training, Ash uncovered a significant insight about Pokémon growth.

Talented Pokémon could reach the elite level within about a year, but advancing further became increasingly difficult.

On the other hand, ordinary Pokémon typically took three to four years to reach the same elite level, only to face similar challenges afterward. Progress beyond that point required extraordinary effort.

However, Ash discovered a key to surpassing these limits: skill refinement.

To ascend to the Gym Leader level, a Pokémon needed to develop the strength of its moves significantly.

Once a move's power reached a certain threshold, the likelihood of breaking through to the Gym leader level increased dramatically.

This realization set the foundation for Ash's unique approach to training, solidifying his confidence in the journey ahead.

There exists a training method that revolves around developing a Pokémon's skills.

The more powerful and refined the skill, the higher the chances of the Pokémon breaking through its limits.

Using techniques inspired by the ninjutsu from Naruto, Ash created unique moves for Pikachu and his other Pokémon.

These moves significantly boosted their chances of reaching the Gym leader level with relative ease.

In essence, Ash's methods function like a cheat-level guide for training.

Aware of how valuable this knowledge was, Ash remained highly cautious and strict in managing these secrets over the years, ensuring they didn't fall into the wrong hands.

After finishing breakfast, Ash, with Pikachu perched on his shoulder, made his way to Professor Oak's research lab.

Upon arrival, he noticed a large crowd of people from Pallet Town gathered at the entrance to the lab.

"Hey, Ash! Waking up late today, huh? That's not like you!" someone from the crowd teased.

"Feeling confident about winning the Indigo League championship?" another asked with a smile.

Ash greeted them warmly, as he had grown up among these people and shared a close bond with the community.

Their support and familiarity added a sense of encouragement to the start of his journey.
