He knows Pokémon better than me.

This time, Ash didn't continue giving commands. Instead, he sat on Lapras's back and quietly watched the battle.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've seen Marshall fight in person.

Not showing up doesn't mean they're all slacking off.

He has always been learning from and imitating the Pokémon he has been following, drawing on the strengths of many, so no one knows what level Marshadow is at now.

Seeing that Articuno had almost recovered its strength, Marshadow immediately launched an attack.

"Marsha!!"

It slammed its fist into the snow in front of it, leaped several meters, and a shadowy fist suddenly shot out from the snow, aiming for Articuno's face.

Shadow Fist!
Articuno quickly scrambled into the sky; it now had no choice but to become a sparring partner.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
With a flash, he instantly transformed into several psychic clones, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, thus avoiding the Shadow Fist.

"Masha—!"

Seeing this, Marshado shouted loudly, clenched his fist and exploded with energy, his whole body spewing out a thick cloud of shadowy mist.

Then he quickly punched the snow with both fists, throwing five or six punches in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Naturally, five or six shadow fists suddenly sprang out from the snow on the other side, striking all of Articuno's shadow clones at the same time.

Xiao Zhi paused for a moment, then quickly recognized it and blurted out:

"Is this a combo attack?"

This guy has learned all of the moves from the martial arts master Xiong Shi, and his combo count is even higher than that of the Water Flow Strike!

In the blink of an eye, several Articuno in the air were simultaneously pierced by Shadow Fist, exploding into purple mist and dissipating.

Articuno's main body took a solid punch to the chest, letting out a muffled groan as it staggered backward.

The effect is outstanding!

It didn't hit the vital point.

"It's still somewhat different from the original combo style."

Ash stroked his chin and analyzed that the three punches that Water Flow threw were all 100% guaranteed to hit vital points, while Marshadow, although he could throw more punches, did not hit any vital points.

But this damage doesn't seem to be low?

"Because my specialty is being a technical expert!"

A spirited young voice echoed in Ash's mind. This guy still has time to get distracted and use telepathy.

When using low-power moves, the damage can be increased, which means that the combo style's moves are very well suited to its technical skill characteristics.

"Foooo.!?"

As the surrounding purple mist dissipated, Articuno's expression froze, and Marshadow's figure inexplicably vanished.

The little black figure had nowhere to hide in the pure white snow.

However, the next second, Marshadow's figure appeared behind Articuno, moving in a strange and unpredictable manner.

Shadow attack!

And then it transformed its fist into a claw, its small hand condensing into a dark purple demonic claw, which it slashed fiercely at Articuno's back.

Galar Articuno wasn't a fledgling either. Before it could turn around, it simply hardened its expression and unleashed a torrent of psychic power centered on its body, exploding outwards in all directions!

Wide-area destruction!!
Ash squinted at the sky and saw Marshadow's Shadow Claw strike Articuno's back squarely.

Of course, the latter was also hit by the wide-area destruction, its small body was shaken away, and it fell from the air.

"Marsha!" As a Fighting-type Pokémon, Marsha is agile and landed steadily on the snow after a few somersaults to dissipate the force.

However, my chest was still jolted, and my body churned.
The effect is outstanding!

On the other side, Articuno felt a burning pain on its back after being suddenly scratched by the ghost claw, and several of its feathers were ripped out.

The effect is outstanding!

Both Pokémon have moves that are very effective against each other.

"Masha!"

Seeing this, Marshall sprang into action again, this time rapidly spinning its body, with lightning flashing from its edges like a generator.

The next instant, two fists shot out like cannonballs, their surfaces crackling with dangerous electric current!

"Is this time it's the Thunder Fist style of Steel Fist Double Strike?!"

Xiao Zhi watched it with great interest.

This Marcia is even better at stealing than his own Pikachu!

However, Marshado's body is made of black mist, and his mist-like fists are naturally capable of splitting apart, so he doesn't need to extend his arms like Melmetta.

It's a true long-range lightning fist!
Galar Articuno didn't dare to be careless. It shot out two laser beams from its eyes, which collided with Thunder Punch and exploded in mid-air, barely managing to withstand the attack.

If one plan fails, Marshall has plenty of new tricks up his sleeve.

"Masha!"

For example, this time, it quickly condensed a huge shadow ball in front of its body with both palms, which was twice the size of its body.

Instead of throwing the ball directly, he lifted his foot and juggled it repeatedly, displaying considerable skill.

To Articuno's astonishment, Marshadow grinned and suddenly unleashed a powerful kick, sending the Shadow Ball flying!

"Is this the move by Flame Ace?!"

Ash's face lit up with surprise. With the added acceleration from kicking the ball, the Shadow Ball's firing speed was at least three times that of its normal moves!
Although it was the first time I had seen this kind of Pokémon, Marshadow's power was already very evident.

"It's a Mythical Pokémon like Zarude!"

Articuno thought to itself, Zarude is a native mythical beast of Galar, the only mythical beast it has ever seen.

It immediately held its breath and focused its attention. This time, the wide-area combat power it unleashed was not spread out in an area of ​​effect, but concentrated in front, with the pale golden psychic power impacting and reverberating forward!
Boom!
It collided with the Shadow Sphere two meters in front of it, then exploded with a deafening roar, creating a violent mental blast in mid-air.
The battle had been going on for quite some time, and the powerful aftershocks of the fight kept the surrounding wild Pokémon from getting too close, leaving them only able to look on in fear from the periphery.

Especially Abomasnow, who had battled Ash and was the dominant creature in the area, was so shocked that it broke out in a cold sweat.

Who on earth is fighting over there?!
The terrifying sense of oppression—even though the fight had only lasted less than an hour, it felt like it had been going on for five or six days, suffocating!

Meanwhile, in the center of the battlefield, Marshadow used all the other Pokémon's signature moves.

Wearing the bear's signature move, he naturally didn't forget it either.

"Masha—!"

It let out a loud shout, clenched its fist and exploded with energy, its entire body spewing out exaggerated blackish-purple mist, and the energy of the ghost attribute began to erupt.

Then he concentrated all that power into his right fist and shot into the sky, his originally slender right arm visibly bulging.

Amidst the dark purple aura, a full-force punch from the One-Strike Style was unleashed!
"Fuwu?!"

Galar Articuno tensed up, momentarily stunned by this exaggerated aura.

The tiny figure, who was originally less than half a meter tall, now seemed like a magnificent giant, and the punches it threw were like meteorites from outer space, making them difficult to resist.

That damn familiar feeling... it's happening again!? (End of Chapter)
