Chapter 1422 Pikachu's Power
Bamboo orchid has gained the upper hand!
The host shouted, "Ash's first Pokémon is out of the game!"
Cheers erupted one after another in the arena, and the stands were bustling with people shouting in unison for Milotic below.
"How could this happen..."
Ash broke out in a cold sweat. In his opinion, Dragonite's loss was truly unjust, as his side was clearly in a much better position.
Pikachu's ears drooped involuntarily, "Pika..."
At Professor Oak's lab, the Pokémon looked dejected, while Professor Oak and Hanako wore helpless smiles: "What a pity."
"That's right."
The setback was a huge blow to morale. Although they didn't suffer a complete defeat like in the original story, Ash was still very unwilling to accept it.
He returned the Dragon Ball to the puck and whispered, "I'll definitely let you win next time!"
Ash then looked at Pikachu beside him and decisively handed the current situation over to his most trusted Pokémon.
"Go, Pikachu! I choose you!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu nodded emphatically and leaped quickly into the arena.
Its dark, bright eyes were fixed on Milotic, and its immense fighting spirit transformed into a soaring aura.
But Cynthia didn't give it a chance to fight back. The moment Pikachu entered the arena, a red light took Milotic back.
"Come back."
She then threw another Poké Ball, "Bloom brilliantly, Roseradore!"
boom!
The light flickered.
Rose Reddot stood gracefully in the center of the field.
Its body is woven from lush green and dark green leaves, topped with a pale rose, and its arms are adorned with delicate red and blue bouquets, exuding a faint fragrance of flowers and herbs, making it both elegant and mysterious.
The host said, "Cyndaquil has sent out Roserade, a Grass/Poison type! Electric-type moves aren't very effective against it!"
Upon hearing Cynthia's words, Kashiwagi, who was preparing the room, couldn't help but complain, "She actually designed an introduction for every single Pokémon?"
King Lace-Crowned: "What's wrong? I believe it to be sacred!"
Where is the sacred?
Kashiwagi: "..."
Clearly, Lacecrown still favors Cyndaquil, especially after Dragonite was defeated by Milotic.
He only felt sorrow and couldn't help but sigh—the King of Abundance is turning into the King of Bad Jokes, what to do?
Inside the arena, the moment Ash spotted Roserade, he immediately gave the command: "Pikachu! Quick Attack!"
"Skin!"
Pikachu slammed its hind legs into the ground, and its entire body was instantly enveloped in a dazzling white light, like a streak of lightning.
In the arena of the eight masters, the eight legendary Pikachu finally showed their full power, with a mere Flash of Light carrying an astonishing sound of air being torn apart.
Wherever the white light passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, leaving a clear afterimage.
Bamboo Orchid: "Seed Machine Gun!"
"Lido!"
Roserade reacted quickly, her red and blue bouquets on her arms suddenly tightened, and with a rapid wave, countless fine green seeds shot out like bullets, heading straight for the approaching Pikachu!
"Skin!?"
With its ears perked up, Pikachu maintains extraordinary agility even at high speeds, darting and dodging like lightning, constantly changing direction to avoid the rain of flying seeds.
Puff puff puff puff—
The seeds burst open upon landing, scattering bursts of green debris and fine dust, leaving a shallow crater the size of a fist on the ground.
Roserade retreated while releasing seeds, but she couldn't hit her opponent no matter what she did.
In the blink of an eye, Pikachu broke through the blockade of the Seed Machine Gun and rushed straight to its opponent, leaping up like an arrow released from a bow!
Get out of the way!
Cyndaquil waved quickly, while Roserade calmly tiptoed and spun around, skillfully avoiding Pikachu's close-range charge.
At the same time, its arms and leaves gathered deep purple poisonous energy, and a murky, heavy sludge bomb with a pungent smell quickly took shape.
"Sludge bomb!"
"Electric grid!"
The two gave the order in unison, and Pikachu, upon landing, immediately twisted and leaped backward, whipping its tail to create a golden electric current that condensed into a giant electric net that grew larger and larger, heading straight for Roserade, who was spraying mud!
In an instant.
The venom, swirling with purplish-black mist, was contained within. Roserade quickly withdrew and retreated, narrowly escaping the electric net's grip.
Seeing Roseradore dodge another attack, the host exclaimed, "Such quick reflexes and speed!"
Ash's quick attacks repeatedly failed, but he remained calm.
"100,000 volts!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu lightly patted the red electric sac on its cheek, and the surging lightning inside erupted, summoning a dazzling electric current!
呲! !
A golden light suddenly illuminated the entire area, and thick lightning bolts, crackling with violent current, hurtled straight toward Roseradore.
The lightning scorched and distorted the air, and the powerful electrical pressure covered the entire arena, causing the audience outside the arena to subconsciously feel numbness in their hands and feet. It was truly astonishing!
At the same time, Roserade gracefully turned in the air, her petals and leaves dancing wildly, creating a violent green current, within which countless sharp leaves spun at high speed.
"Flying Leaf Storm".
Boom—!!
Golden lightning collided violently with a storm of green leaves. The current and the leaves tore and annihilated each other, and countless tiny currents and fragments of emerald green leaves flew everywhere. The enormous impact created a gale and triggered the protective devices outside the site.
Dust and energy mist mingled together, obscuring the view.
But this attack did not go as Zhu Lan wished.
Although Leaf Storm barely managed to block the direct attack of Thunderbolt, it was completely overwhelmed by the raging lightning. The continuously powerful current quickly pierced through the smoke and dust, struck Roserade's body, and sent it flying!
Zhu Lan: "Hmm!?"
"Lido!"
Roserade, enveloped in a bright blue light, let out a muffled groan as her body uncontrollably lost its balance and swayed violently before finally landing.
Seeing this, Ash quickly ordered Pikachu to give chase, shouting, "Iron Tail!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu pushed off the ground with its hind legs, and its tail was instantly enveloped in a silvery-white steel light, becoming incredibly hard.
It leaped to Roseredo, who was barely able to stand, and using the momentum of its flight to twist its small body. Its steel-like tail lashed out at Roseredo with a sharp whooshing sound!
呲——
The wind howled fiercely and with tremendous force!
"Hold on!"
"Lido!"
Roserade hastily raised her arms to block the attack, a pale blue shield appearing, but it was struck hard by Irontail, producing a dull thud.
Ouch!
The barrier trembled violently, riddled with countless cracks, and shattered in the next second.
Iron Tail charged straight at Roserade with undiminished momentum. The latter could not resist the surging force and its body was forced to move backward, its feet leaving shallow marks on the hard ground.
“Lido…”
Roseredo suddenly knelt down, her brows furrowed and her arms trembling.
That was a lot of force!
The host exclaimed, "Pikachu's double attack is extraordinary! Roserade is being constantly suppressed!"
Cynthia's eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that Ash wouldn't give Roserade a chance and would continue his relentless attack. She quickly gave the order: "Jump! Leaf Storm!"
"100,000 volts!"
"Pikachu!!"
Pikachu patted its cheek, and its electric sac continued to discharge, causing the current around its body to surge again and turn into a thick column of electricity.
Roserade leaped up and unleashed Leaf Storm. Its Special Attack had been lowered, so it was no match for Thunderbolt this time. However, it used the lift from Leaf Storm to fly into the air.
Bang!
The two opposing energies created another shockwave, lifting it higher as it turned around.
Cynthia took the opportunity to raise her right hand, which was tightly gripping the Poké Ball.
"Come back!"
The red beam accurately struck Roserade in mid-air, allowing the Pokémon to successfully escape the arena.
Pikachu charged out of the dust kicked up by the clash of moves, but could only watch helplessly as Roserade left the field, unable to continue the pursuit.
The host announced, "Cynthia has traded Pokémon! Roserade has successfully left the stage!"
"Pity!"
Kojiro sighed loudly. Pikachu was on a roll and should have been able to defeat Roserade and get revenge.
As a result, Zhu Lan cleverly swapped her out.
So, which Pokémon will be the next to challenge Pikachu?
"Come forth from the waves, Sea Gastrodon!"
boom!
Along with Cynthia's entrance speech, the newly introduced Pokémon is Gastrodon, which adds the Water type to Ground.
Without a doubt, after Grass-type Pokémon resisted Electric-type moves, she simply brought out a Ground-type Pokémon that was immune to them.
But Ash, seeing it, had no intention of trading and boldly waved his hand, saying, "Go! Quick Attack!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu's figure flashed, disappearing from its original spot like a white rainbow, and it quickly approached Gastrodon!
Zhu Lan had anticipated this and waved her hand, shouting, "Earthquake!"
"Thump!"
The sea hare's body trembled violently, and the ground beneath it shattered into countless pieces.
Visible shockwaves of earthy yellow spread in all directions, the earth trembled violently, causing countless pieces of debris to fly everywhere, and the violent shaking made the scene inside the arena seem to be distorted.
Faced with this unavoidable attack, Ash's solution was quite simple: "Jump!"
"Skin!"
Pikachu leaped with lightning speed, easily jumping to a height of over ten meters.
Cynthia raised her head, admiring Pikachu's jumping ability. "As expected of you! But—Stone Slash!"
"Boom!"
Gastrodon responded loudly, and countless pebbles from the earth shattered by the earthquake gathered around it, forming giant rocks half the size of a person, which roared towards Pikachu in mid-air.
Ash shouted confidently, "Pikachu! Knock them back! Iron Tail!"
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu twisted its body, and its lightning-shaped tail once again became metallic, turning into an indestructible metal blade. Even though there was no point of leverage, it was still able to knock back all the flying boulders!
Boom boom boom!
The giant rocks, like baseballs hit by a bat, seemed to come from the same spot and return to the same spot in Zhu Lan's wide-eyed gaze.
Fortunately, thanks to its exceptional flexibility, the sea hare successfully caught the returning boulder, only causing its body to shift a considerable distance backward.
But how could Ash's attack end there?
"Go! Quicksight!"
"Skin!"
Pikachu, having landed, transformed into a white light once more and rushed straight towards Gastrodon, who had caught the rock!
Zhu Lan's heart trembled violently, and she shouted, "Melt!"
At the critical moment, Pikachu suddenly crashed into the stacked giant rocks, instantly shattering them all.
It passed through the giant rock and was about to collide with the sea hare, but the latter's body melted like a candle, causing its impact to miss.
Zhu Lan's turbulent heart was thus calmed. "Turbid current!"
The sea hare, which had turned into a puddle of mud, suddenly rose up, and more mud surged out from under it, forming a swirling mud tide that covered half of the area, like an underwater whirlpool engulfing Pikachu.
Ash's only strategy is to "jump!"
"Skin!"
Today, Pikachu was practically a bungee jumper, barely managing to get back to the ground before having to avoid the muddy currents and return to the sky.
More importantly, the purpose of this jump was to return to the starting position.
"Come back, Pikachu!"
Pikachu successfully jumped out of the turbid current and quickly returned to Ash's side, effectively a trade.
Zhu Lan felt a sense of relief upon seeing this scene.
This duo always manages to deliver unexpected performances, something she had already anticipated having learned in advance.
She just didn't expect Pikachu to be even more exaggerated than she thought.
"An unstoppable momentum and a Pokémon that can perfectly meet expectations..." Cynthia smiled. "Come on! Let me see just how far you can go!"
"Go, Gengar!"
Ash throws a Poké Ball into the arena.
boom!
"Genga!"
Gengar flew out of it, its tongue lolling out, and roared as it gazed at Gastrodon in the distance.
It floats in the sky, which allows it to avoid Ground-type moves better than Pikachu in some ways.
Ash chose to send it out precisely because of this.
One more thing—
"Will-o'-the-wisp!"
"Genga!"
Nine dark purple flames appeared around Gengar, and it flew towards Gastrodon one after another!
Zhu Lan then gave the order: "Turbid Stream!"
The muddy water surged up again, but this time the sea hare released not a whirlpool but a wave.
The turbid current, like a raging torrent crashing against the shore, rushed straight towards the will-o'-the-wisps, attempting to defeat them one by one.
Unexpectedly, the will-o'-the-wisps did not disperse and rush forward, but instead formed a series of attacks. The first few wisps collided with the turbid current, instantly shattering it and creating an opening.
The remaining will-o'-the-wisps swarmed away, and even though there were only two or three left, they still managed to hit the sea hare.
"Thump!"
The sea hare let out a muffled groan.
The flames clung to its skin, causing it to continuously lose moisture.
Seeing this, Zhu Lan could only be thankful that the Sea Gastrodon was good at both physical and special attacks; otherwise, the burn damage would have been a huge blow to it!
"Mud Shooting!"
"Thump!"
Gastrodon quickly unleashed multiple mud projectiles at Gengar, but Gengar was quite agile; despite its seemingly fat appearance, it easily dodged the incoming mud projectiles by swaying left and right.
Ash shouted, "Misfortunes never come singly!"
"Genga!"
Gengar's eyes lit up with a blood-red light.
This move wasn't originally in its skill set. It was only after Kashiwagi saw Ash's Gengar practicing Will-O-Wisp at Professor Oak's lab that he taught it the matching move, Misfortune.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste?
Now it was used on the sea hare beast, the dazzling blood light pierced the air and bombarded the sea hare beast at an extremely fast speed!
hum! !
The sea hare was instantly engulfed by the raging flames, turning into a fireball!
