He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Stop playing with Pikachu, let's end the battle."

Seeing Pikachu getting more and more into it, Ash had no choice but to interrupt.

Pikachu pouted, put away the toy, and its eyes became serious.

The next second, its body was covered in a light blue glow, and it shot out like an arrow, its speed increasing several times in an instant.

Whoosh! Bang!
A flash of lightning sent the unprepared Shield Sword Monster staggering backward.

"How is this possible?!"

Sord paused, weren't Ghost Pokémon immune to Normal-type moves?

Pikachu grinned; while it was toying with the three Pokémon, it even had a moment to use its plasma bath—

All Normal-type moves now have the Electric attribute bonus.

"Pikachu!!"

Then, lightning crackled across its cheek as a 100,000-volt attack struck the Shield Sword Monster squarely; this time, it had deliberately increased the voltage.

Boom!!
The powerful electric shock propelled the Shield Sword Monster from mid-air, slamming it heavily to the ground, followed by a loud crackling sound of electricity.

Before the smoke and dust had completely dissipated, a semi-transparent, shadowy fist suddenly pierced through the smoke and dust, striking the bronze bell directly in the face.

Boom!
The deep, resonant chimes rang out, and the bronze bell swayed in the air.

The effect is outstanding!

"That electric mouse can even use Shadow Fist?!"

Hilde's expression changed, but after throwing a punch, Pikachu had already leaped back into the air, spread its limbs, and glided down at an extremely fast speed.

A flying, heavy pressure!

Clang!
Another long, drawn-out bell rang out, and the bronze bell was crushed to the ground, cracking the earth and rocks.

The effect is outstanding!

When the smoke cleared, the Shielded Sword Monster and the Bronze Bell, who had been fighting together, both collapsed unconscious and were unable to continue.

"Pikachu~"

Pikachu landed steadily on the ground, its eyes shining, and proudly raised its little head.

When I get serious, I'm terrifyingly strong.

"That's amazing!"

This time, it was Hunter K who exclaimed in surprise. Before he could even react, two Pokémon of decent level were instantly defeated.

Moreover, the moves this electric mouse possesses are flashy and quite bizarre.

Now he finally understood why one of the two hunters of the same rank was in jail and the other was missing.

As for the last Toad King, it still tried to resist by relying on its attribute advantage, and opened its mouth to spew out several mud bombs.

"Chupi~!"

However, Pikachu flicked its tail and spread out a lightning net, packing up all the mud and sending it back.

Did you really think I had to dodge your mud just now?
Although the electric grid did not harm the toad king, the mud completely covered its body, causing it to lose its vision and leaving it struggling in place while wiping its eyes.

"Use straw knots!"

Pikachu revealed a sly smile, raised its little hand and waved it, and green vines quickly grew from under the Toad King's feet.

This scene surprised Zarud somewhat. An electric mouse could use its own moves?

Bang!
While still haphazardly wiping the mud off his face, the Toad King didn't even notice that his feet were tangled in the mud. He tripped and fell heavily to the ground.

This was a four-fold counterattack, causing significant damage, and for a moment the latter couldn't even struggle to get up.

Pikachu leaped forward, its Iron Tail sweeping fiercely across the face of the Toad King, sending it spinning like a top and taking away the last bit of its strength.

Before long, the three Pokémon that were so proud just moments before were now lying flat on the ground in a row.

"Pikachu, is it really that strong?!"

"Even stronger than Flame Ace!"

So, instead of breeding rabbits and gorillas, how about we just breed electric mice?

"Come back, you two."

Hunter K retrieved the defeated Blazing Roaring Tiger and Toad King, and stood there stubbornly.

Even the ace Blazing Roaring Tiger seems unlikely to last more than a few rounds against this Electric Mouse.

"Hey! Hunter K, is that all you've got?!"

"Keep going!!"

Soder and Syldi, oblivious to the situation, continued to boss him around.

Hunter K rolled his eyes at the two of them. These two nobles seemed to have nothing left but money.

He's already thinking about how to abscond with the money.

Ash gave Zarude a wink, and the latter understood, simultaneously plunging both hands into the ground.

Whoosh!
In an instant, the ground trembled, and several thick vines extended from all sides—

It's much larger than Pikachu's grass knot.

Tap! Tap! Tap!
In the blink of an eye, the vines tightly bound Sord, Hildi, and Hunter K. The vines even contracted, forcing the three of them to be dragged and forced to sit on the ground.

With his hands behind his back and his waist bound several times, he was unable to move.

After they finished, Zarude and Ash couldn't help but smile at each other.

I've actually developed a bit of a tacit understanding with this monkey (human).

“Saru?”

Little Sarud remained staring wide-eyed and mouth agape, wearing an expression of shock.

Brother Sarud, you actually have such a good relationship with humans?

"Hey! What an rude monkey!"

"How dare they treat a descendant of the Galar royal family like this!"

While Hildi and Sord continued their angry rant, Hunter K silently cursed the two idiots in his mind.

However, since someone was drawing attention away from him, he could secretly turn his back and cut the vines with a blade.

With a flick of his finger, Sarud sent vines climbing up and binding the mouths of the two noblemen, leaving them only able to make "woo-woo-woo" sounds.

"Now, it should be considered resolved, right?"

Seeing this, Ash was a little disappointed, as he had originally thought there would be some special opponent.

Is there only one Pokémon Hunter in the end?
If I were traveling in the Sinnoh region, I might have posed some threat. But now, I'm a bit bored.

"So, are these two really only good with words?"

Xiao Zhi frowned as he looked at the two upper-class nobles whose mouths were tied.

His identity is shrouded in mystery, and he is connected to the mythology and history of the Galar region. It is even highly likely that he is indeed a descendant of royalty.
When the fight actually started, nothing special happened at all!
So disappointing!

“Saru!”

Zarud then pointed forward, indicating that young Zarud could now take revenge.

For a vicious ape, revenge is an essential part of its existence.

"Saru!"

Upon hearing this, Little Sarud's eyes gradually lit up with excitement.
Recalling the past few days when it was inexplicably captured from the carefree forest and subjected to oppressive training, practicing until it was exhausted every day, its eyes flashed with ferocity.

Whoosh!

The claws were suddenly covered in a layer of blood-red coating, as if it had mastered a new move: Tear Claws!

Little Saruud grinned maliciously, raised his claws, and slowly walked forward—

Perfect! I'll use the fruits of its hard training these past few days to properly entertain these three! (End of Chapter)
