Now Ash somewhat understood the difference between A-level and S-level.
S-level would not only transmit all abilities to him but also explain all the details of those abilities one by one.
However, A-level was significantly worse; for instance, the Insight Eye currently allowed him to perceive that Pikachu's ability was Electrostatic, which was one of the insights provided by the ability, but it didn't tell him what Electrostatic's specific power was.
Ash only vaguely remembered that Professor Oak had mentioned in his lectures that every Pokémon had its own ability, and how well one utilized a Pokémon's ability was a crucial factor in the outcome of battles.
But there were many different abilities, and even the same Pokémon could have different abilities; in short, it was extremely complex, and Ash basically forgot it all after hearing about it.
If Ash were given another chance, he swore he would listen carefully to the lectures!!
Besides abilities, this power also had slight flaws in its insight into Pokémon skills.
The two moves he currently perceived were two moves Pikachu had used before; besides these two, Pikachu actually knew other moves, but because they hadn't been used, they didn't appear in the insight information.
This was the limit of what an incomplete Insight Eye could do; if it were the complete version, with just one glance, it could even perceive all the skills a Pokémon might learn, these were Breeder Ash's original words.
From this perspective, the gap between A-level and S-level skills was quite large, or rather, it was a world of difference.
Besides skills and abilities, the last thing was Pikachu's strength.
As a starter Pokémon, possessing the strength of an ordinary advanced level was already quite good among starter Pokémon.
According to Champion Ash, the Pokémon received by beginners were generally around the beginner level, with very few reaching the ordinary level, and his Pikachu, not only had all its ability value limits at A-level, but its level also reached ordinary advanced, which should be considered a top-tier existence among starter Pokémon.
"As expected of the initial partner I chose!" Ash's face once again showed a look of self-satisfaction, and Pikachu, hearing Ash muttering to himself, turned to look at him confusedly.
What is this person saying? Mumbling to himself again? Is he possessed again?
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing the glow of dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun painted the grassland into a golden ocean, like a huge oil painting.
The afterglow shone on Xiao Xia's face, causing the almost drowsy Xiao Xia to frown her beautiful brows, and then slowly open her eyes.
"Hmm~ Is it morning?"
"It's sunny, not morning. Xiao Xia, look over there, there's a rainbow!" Ash also stretched a big yawn, gazing into the distance, and saw a faint rainbow in the golden-red sky.
Xiao Xia's originally somewhat muddled little head instantly cleared up, and then she widened her eyes and looked in the direction Ash was pointing: "Where, where… It's true! What a beautiful rainbow!"
At dusk, the golden setting sun intertwined with the colorful clouds, gentle and peaceful; anyone who saw this scene would have a wonderful mood all day.
Just as the two and Pikachu were immersed in the beautiful scenery, the sharp-eyed Ash suddenly noticed a figure moving within the rainbow.
"Xiao Xia, is there something in that rainbow… No, is that rainbow moving?!"
"Huh? How is that possible, how could a rainbow move… It really is moving!" Xiao Xia subconsciously wanted to refute Ash, but when her gaze focused on the rainbow again, she found that the rainbow really moved just as Ash had said!
Colorful streamers scattered in the sky, like a flowing colorful paintbrush, coloring the sky.
"That is… a Pokémon? A Pokémon with a rainbow!" Ash exclaimed.
The rainbow Pokémon, originally obscured by the twilight glow, gradually appeared before their eyes.
That Pokémon was adorned with the radiance of a rainbow, and one could vaguely see it was a bird-like Pokémon. Its wings under the rainbow glow were crimson, and its crest and tail feathers were golden, looking like a phoenix from mythology.
As Ash's eyes focused, the Pokémon's information appeared before him.
[Species: Ho-Oh]
[Gender: Female]
[Level: Divine Realm Grade peak]
[Ability: Regenerator]
[Divine Position: XXXXX]
[Skills: XXXXX]
[Six-Dimensional Abilities: Physical Attack S (S) Special Attack S (S) Defense S (S) Special Defense S (S) HP S (S) Speed S (S)]
"Ho-Oh…?" Ash murmured the name of the information displayed before him, Ho-Oh!
Its level was so high, it had reached the peak of Divine Realm Grade!
According to the level classification given by Breeder Ash, Divine Realm Grade was beyond Champion level, belonging to the most peak level in the world!
Breeder Ash did not explain the difference between Champion and Divine Realm Grade, but as a level after Champion, no words were needed to describe the terror of this level, just like the Ho-Oh that appeared before them now.
Besides reaching the peak of Divine Realm Grade, all of Ho-Oh's ability values reached S-level, belonging to the top-tier.
Level, ability values—these were all insights from the Insight Eye. Compared to these two pieces of information, what allowed Ash to feel Ho-Oh's power more directly was the Ho-Oh's Aura he sensed.
If the information from the Insight Eye was not vivid enough, then the detection of Bo-do Power was very direct.
If Pikachu's Aura was compared to a small basin of water, then Ho-Oh's Aura was a vast ocean!
That Aura was even several times stronger than his, who had inherited the Aura of Bo Dao Yong Zhe Xiao Zhi!
And there was also an undetectable divine position… This Pokémon should be the legendary Pokémon that the big shots in the group kept talking about, right?
"Ho-Oh? Really? But it does look a bit like Ho-Oh! No way, I actually met the legendary Ho-Oh! Oh my goodness!" Xiao Xia lightly covered her red lips with her delicate hand, her pretty face filled with shock.
The legend of Ho-Oh has been circulating in the Kanto and Johto regions. Many people have seen images of Ho-Oh, but very few have seen its true form.
This is because, during a certain past event, Ho-Oh became utterly disappointed with humans and ultimately chose never to appear before them again, a decision that has lasted for hundreds of years to date.
Legend has it that if one sees Ho-Oh, that person will gain eternal happiness. Although this rumor has never been confirmed, it doesn't prevent countless people around the world from flocking to search for Ho-Oh, just to catch a glimpse of it.
And now, she, who had only recently run away from home, had seen it. For Xiao Xia, it was simply like a dream.
"…" Ash looked at the excited Xiao Xia, wanting to speak but hesitating. Actually, he really wanted to ask, what exactly is Ho-Oh…?
