Ash swallowed hard, glancing back at Pikachu.
He could hardly believe that this small, adorable creature could transform into something so powerful after receiving the inheritance of Winged Dragon of Ra.
In the anime, Pikachu had showcased countless moments of brilliance, bravely standing against legendary Pokémon. This was enough to prove his extraordinary potential.
If he were to gain this inheritance now, Ash could envision what Pikachu might become.
"Pikachu, do you want to accept this inheritance?"
Ash asked, carefully weighing the pros and cons for his partner. He wanted Pikachu to make the decision himself.
"Pika...pika?!" Pikachu exclaimed, incredulous at the thought of absorbing such tremendous power. The idea of becoming a god was both thrilling and daunting.
"It's not exactly becoming a god,"
Ash clarified, trying to keep his excitement in check.
"You'll gain incredible potential, but there may be some limitations."
In his heart, Ash preferred the idea of earning power through hard work rather than a shortcut.
While immediate strength could provide advantages, it would also risk losing the essence of training and growth.
If, one day, this inheritance were lost, Pikachu might fall back to where he started.
"Pika..." After contemplating for a moment, Pikachu hopped onto the ground with determination.
He wanted to grow stronger, to protect others rather than rely on them for safety, much like how a Kangaskhan guards its youngling.
"Alright!" Ash grinned at Pikachu's resolve.
"Let's do it! System, activate the inheritance!"
As Ash's voice resonated, the crimson light ball floated gently in front of Pikachu.
With a determined nod, Pikachu reached out his small paws to touch it. In an instant, the light fused with him and vanished silently.
"Is... is that it?" Ash asked, staring at the scene in disbelief.
He had expected something more dramatic when accepting the inheritance from a god-like being.
Pikachu looked puzzled, inspecting his tiny paws and then glancing back at Ash, tilting his head in confusion. "Pika... chu"
"Do you feel anything?" Ash inquired, quickly accessing the Attribute panel to check on Pikachu's status.
Pikachu

Ability 2: Superconducting Wave (Locked)

"Other than gaining the inheritance and abilities, nothing else seems to have changed," Ash remarked, a frown creasing his forehead. Pikachu's level hadn't even increased.
"Accepting the inheritance should have granted you the power of Winged Dragon of Ra, right?…"
Ash pondered, though he felt that while it wasn't the outcome he had envisioned, it was still a solid foundation.
Pikachu, upon hearing Ash's thoughts, felt a hint of disappointment. But his spirits quickly lifted; he now had the opportunity to train and grow into a powerful being.
He envisioned himself standing strong like Winged Dragon of Ra one day.
"Now, we have to figure out how to unlock these abilities,"
Ash said, lifting Pikachu to eye level. "How do we develop this potential?"
In the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" anime, the Winged Dragon of Ra had abilities tied to thunder and lightning, which were distinctly different from the mythical Osiris.
Its ability, "Summon Thunder", could significantly weaken opponents, while "Superconducting Wave" was a powerful attack.
Ash speculated that if these effects translated to the Pokémon world, they could be game-changing.
However, how to unleash these powers remained a mystery. Ash glanced at Pikachu, both of them aware that this would take hard work and collaboration.
"Time for another lottery draw," Ash said, excitement brewing within him.
If he could draw another inheritance, it would be a monumental boost!
However, luck was not on their side this time; the next prize was merely a valuable item from the Pokémon world: a Big Pearl.
"Hey, this isn't so bad! At least we don't have to worry about our finances for a while," Ash said, satisfied with his prize.
He pocketed the Big Pearl and turned to Pikachu, grinning. "Alright, let's go!"
"Pika...pika!" Pikachu chirped happily, feeling a surge of energy coursing through him. The inheritance had already begun to change him, infusing him with newfound strength.
As they ventured forward, a ripple of power resonated in a distant, chaotic space.
A figure opened its eyes, feeling an unprecedented will emerge in the world. It was a force unlike anything experienced before.
Yet moments later, the figure's eyes closed, and the space fell silent, as if everything had been but an illusion.
