He knows Pokémon better than me.

Dianci had already taken his guitar into his hands and suddenly strummed it:
"Vibrato Salamander, use a broken note!!"

The vibrato salamander understood and suddenly plucked the sound-producing pick on its body, unleashing its unique ultimate move.

Ta-da!

In an instant, it felt as if we were at a rock concert, with an unusually agitated sonic boom erupting from the vibrato salamander, which even transformed into visible blue arcs of electricity.

"Wow, that's really powerful."

An electric sonic boom swept over, and Xiao Zhi pressed his hat down.

Fortunately, as a noble Dragon-type, Electric-type moves are not effective against Dracovish.

Moreover, it seems that because the head of the ichthyosaur was too primitive, not only were the lower jaw and teeth fused together, but it also lacked a normal ear canal structure.

The "sonic explosion" move is a double attack consisting of "sonic boom" and "electric current." The ichthyosaur seems to have shielded itself from the noise, and its movements were not affected.

Rounded to the nearest whole number, it equals a small amount of soundproofing.

Xiao Zhi was overjoyed; there was an unexpected bonus. He immediately gave the order:

"Primal Power!!"

The gill ichthyosaur instantly conjured several large rocks from its entire body and threw them out, blocking the electric current while also smashing them into the trembling salamander.

This forced the latter to abandon the plectrum on his chest and instead push his palm forward, releasing a beam of electric shock that shattered the rock.

"What the hell?! My voice cracking technique isn't working at all?!"

Denji was completely baffled. What kind of bird Pokémon is this?!

Since Electric-type moves are ineffective, let's switch to Poison-type:
"Sludge bomb!!"

The trembling salamander suddenly spat out a large ball of venom, but venom is still liquid, so it was much easier for the gill ichthyosaur to deal with.

"Frozen Fang!"

With its mouth wide open and enhanced by its powerful forehead, the Frozen Teeth were chillingly cold. Before the mud bomb could even hit it, it was frozen in mid-air into a pale purple ice ball.

With a flick of its head, the ichthyosaur shattered the ice ball, sending it hurtling towards the trembling salamander.

Zizzi——!
Forced to unleash a burst of lightning from his entire body, he used his "electrocution" technique to shatter all the ice fragments.

However, what awaited it next was a huge whirlpool of water.

"Is it the vortex created by using a water gun?"

Beside her, Lulina's admiration grew even stronger; Ash was also an expert in Water-type Pokémon.

As the massive vortex descended, it completely drenched and covered the trembling newt, whose movements were greatly restricted by the water flow.

"Now's the time, ichthyosaur, bite with your gills!!"

Having successfully slowed down his opponent, Ash seized the opportunity to unleash his final attack.

The gill harpy dragon's jaws were once again shrouded in mist as it charged forward and fiercely bit down!
The trembling salamander had no choice but to forcefully pluck the strings on its chest, barely managing to unleash its signature move, "Cracking Sound!"

*Crack!*

This time, it wasn't just the water mist that exploded; it was also mixed with countless blue electric arcs, and even accompanied by a loud and piercing guitar sound.

"Phew, looks like it worked!"

Xiao Zhi squinted his eyes, saw clearly, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Before the vibrato salamander could release its broken notes, the cheek bite had already firmly gripped the latter's shoulder!

Prerequisites met!

So next up is the classic 85x2x1.5x1.2.
Wow——!
In the explosion, the Dracovish was also thrown backward by the recoil, sliding in front of Ash.

As for the vibrato salamander
As the mist dissipated, the trembling salamander lay sprawled on the ground, its eyes darting around, completely wet, flashing with electric light.

"How is this possible?!" Dianzi squatted on the ground, holding his head, unable to comprehend it.

"Well done, Gilly-tailed Ichthyosaur!"

Ash then stepped forward and patted Dracovish on the shoulder, as expected.

Her cheekbones are so supermodel-like!
If the trigger condition is met and the hit is successful once, it will basically be an instant kill against an opponent of the same level.

Even against a high-level opponent, if they don't die, they can easily be reduced to a flickering candle in the wind.

"Aww~!!"

The gill harpy was jumping around on the spot, and eventually it even jumped over the railing next to it and plunged into the sea to surf excitedly.

Draco Messia hovered above Ash's head, basking in two waves of experience points, before appearing thoughtful.

Drone Rotom also landed and loudly announced the result of the match:

"Beep! The Trembling Salamander is unable to fight—!"

"Therefore, Xiao Zhi has won this World Championship Super Ball Ranked Match! The real-time rankings have been updated, please check them!"

Upon hearing this, the two instinctively pulled out Rotom to check, and their expressions darkened when they saw that Dianzi's ranking had dropped to over 400.

Ash's ranking rose to the middle of the 400s, a slight improvement that brought a smile to his face.

Of course, the biggest takeaway today was that Xiao Duolong mastered the "rapid turnaround" technique!
After the battle, Den-Izu put away his Pokémon and guitar.

Seeing Lulina approach, his cheeks flushed red. He scratched his head, finally mustering his courage to say:

"Miss Lurina, if you're free later, would you like to have a look around Waterboat Town?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lulina interrupted him:

"Uh, I suggest you take your Pokémon to get it treated as soon as possible."

This isn't a friend-zone rejection, but rather a sincere piece of advice.

The two gill bites of the ichthyosaur are ridiculously powerful!
If the higher-level Tremor Salamence only lost 1.5 lives, then the previous Straight Bear lost 3 lives and needs to be healed immediately.

"Ah? Oh, I see."

Dejected, Denji nodded goodbye to Ash before quickly running towards the Pokémon Center.

Only two people remained at the lighthouse observation tower. Noticing Lurina's intense gaze, Ash naturally understood:
"You're asking about the Gilling-Draconic, right? I was resurrected in Suchuan Town."

"The cheek-biting technique I just used actually has limitations."

Xiao Zhi didn't hide anything. The two went to the railing of the observation deck, and while looking at the sea, he began to tell their story.

Galler's fossils are not actually that rare, and he himself was not a high-intensity miner, yet he had already dug up enough fossils.

For someone as wealthy as Lulina, it would be much easier to simply buy fossil fish and fossil dragons.

"I see."

Lulina carefully wrote them down one by one.

She was moved!

The ichthyosaur's powerful jaws are far more formidable than her ferocious turtle!

"By the way, this is the contact information for that fossil researcher, Ms. Maoshi."

Ash took out his Rotom phone and casually gave out his contact information.

To be fair, although Miss Maoshi's behavior was quite outrageous, the resurrected Gillfish Dragon was actually fine and perfectly healthy.

Puff-!
Through the railing, the two could see the ichthyosaur suddenly leaping out of the sea, giving people a startling, mischievous look.

Clearly, the ichthyosaur had fully adapted to the modern world. (End of Chapter)
