Training & Old Friends

A week later....

There was no doubt that the previous round of summoning among all of Asher's summons so far was the most profitable - in some ways even more profitable than when he summoned Celebi in his first draw!

Therefore, Asher spent this period studying the treasures he summoned.

Of course, the main thing was to build Groudon's ''Great Volcano'' Lair, test its power and the two Plates of Arceus.

Under the effect of Celebi's "Instant Healing", Asher was not afraid to experiment - he specifically let his three heavy hitters, Rayquaza, Kyurem and Groudon, physically attack him to test his physical resistance, after using the "Instant Healing" :Iron".

After discovering that with the body enhancement and strength enhancement effect, he could even exchange some punches with Groudon, Asher was truly happy with this test and realized that he had received a significant improvement in his combat ability.

And every time Asher did some physical training, the two little ones, Celebi and Victini, would sit not far away to watch their master being beaten, by his three big brothers, and if you look closely at the little ones, you could see a mischievous smile on their faces....

However, while Asher continued his intense physical training and was gradually improving in hand-to-hand combat, two acquaintances arrived at the door, ready for a visit.

"Hey, Coulson - Didn't our pirate friend come?"

Seeing Coulson's good old face in front of him, Asher was a little surprised.

God knows, after Thor's previous incident, his relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. had gradually cooled down, it had been a while since he had seen the agent.

"Pirate?..."

Coulson, on the other hand, wasn't like reacting for a second - because he actually understood what Ashrr was talking about Fury.

"Asher, this time I came here for a personal matter."

Coulson really didn't want to intervene in Director Fury and Asher's relationship - because even though he was an agent, Coulson still had his principles and saw Nick Fury's ulterior motives when he handled Asher's affairs with the Council.

"Everything is fine."

Asher nodded asking for the visitors to enter - compared to Nick Fury, Coulson was a good man, whom Asher could have better feelings for.

After Coulson finished greeting, Asher also looked at the relaxed person standing next to him: "Look we have here, a rather rare guest, right?" Finally willing to come? Mister Stark? "

"Hey, Asher - Why don't I get the same treatment as Coulson, we've met before!"

Seeing the undisguised sarcasm Asher's words contained, Tony protested directly.

However, after seeing Asher give him the eye roll, His Excellency the Great Playboy and Superhero is quite sensitive: "Hey, Asher - I didn't say anything big to Fury before."

That's right, this is none other than Tony Stark, who hasn't come to visit Asher in a long time.

"Oh? But wasn't it a certain playboy who, after receiving the information from Dad, sold it to me."

Asher, on the other hand, looked at Tony mockingly.

Stark felt stunned for a second.

However, Asher just said it casually, nothing more than a joke- in fact, his and Tony's relationship was very good, the two became good friends after more than a month of treatment for palladium poisoning.

So it can be said that Asher knows Tony's personality, beneath all the sarcastic and ironic behavior, Tony is a really good friend, he wouldn't betray a friend.

The reason why the other party told Nick Fury about him at that time, Asher can guess the meaning - although Tony definitely wanted his father's research materials, he also wanted to help him as a friend, to get some cover as a super -humane and avoid unnecessary trouble.

Tony knew Asher couldn't hide his identity forever, so he chose to help Asher get into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s good graces.

And indeed, Tony did this—Nick Fury did not arrest Asher as a dangerous person after learning of his identity from Tony, but opted for a cooperative attitude from the beginning.

So for Tony, Asher's words are actually just a joke - if he really thought Tony betrayed him, it would be a barrage of attacks that would greet him now.

"Your poisoning is cured, right?"

"Yes."

Seeing that Asher didn't mention S.H.I.L.D anymore, Tony was also relieved: "I developed a new element to replace palladium in the reactor, and I called this element..."

"No matter what, please make yourselves comfortable."

Asher laughed, and directly cut off Tony's boast, and then took Coulson and Tony to the space pocket.

Interestingly, although Tony was the first to meet him, this would be Tony's first time in the space pocket.

"... Wow! "

Looking at what seemed like another world, Tony couldn't help but express surprise.

The sky pillar is in front of him, a huge volcano was burning on the west side, an ice cave exuding cold fog in the opposite direction, and at a certain distance, you could see a beautiful garden and a deep forest - It was a strange scene , conflicting, but still beautiful, capable of surprising even a skeptical person like Tony!

"Asher, how much do you want for this technology, that's so cool!"

Tony's first reaction, of course, was to try and buy what he considered alien space manipulation technology, but Coulson, who was standing to the side, looked seriously at the surrounding scenery.

''Three more areas...''

As an agent, he could see at a glance that this space had changed a lot since he was here, there were three more different areas now.

He could guess that one of them belonged to the creature called Victini, but the remaining two...

"..."

Coulson shook his head, and didn't continue to think about it - he actually came here for his personal business this time.

"Calm your horses Tony, I have nothing to do with space technology."

Asher on the other hand cut off Tony, who was very excited as a scientist, and then took the two to the place where he used to receive guests - Celebi's ''Great Forest''.

"Hey, Celebi... Do you look prettier than before?"

"Biii!"

Tony who saw Celebi greeted him very familiarly, and the latter recognized the human he helped heal several times before - For Celebi, who has now awakened the power of life, healing Tony would be child's play.

"So, what happened to you two coming to visit me together?"

Giving the two a cup of Forest Tea, which was infused with Celebi's life energy, Asher looked at the two and asked with some curiosity.

These two people could visit him at any time, but coming together must have caused something, and this made him curious about their purpose.

"Asher, can I buy some of this tea later?" I can offer a good price..."

"Well, we'll tell you why we're here."

Tony, who was always a bit cynical in his words, and who wanted to discuss a drinks business after drinking some tea, quickly changed the topic, after seeing Asher's look, getting straight to the point.

"Actually, we came to seek help for an elder."

"Elder?"

"Yes... But to talk about this, I have to mention one person first."

Tony's look became serious, and a certain sentimentality could be seen in his words: "Have you ever heard of ''Captain America''?"
