He knows Pokémon better than me.

Seeing the dangerous freezing kick approaching, Bei Shang hurriedly said:
"Tornado, unleash the Storm move on the ground!!"

As expected of a divine beast, the tornado cloud immediately turned its palm downwards, unleashing a violent vortex. Using the reaction force, it forcefully ricocheted into the air, barely avoiding the dangerous triple vortex attack.

Raindrops pattered down on the train's roof, causing the entire carriage to tremble slightly as it sped forward.

With his move missing and time running out, Ash stared intently at his target in the air, not daring to pause for even a moment.

"Flash Ace, use Electric Ball!"

Flame Ace lowered his body and stood in front of him, his movements clean and efficient, and lightning quickly gathered at his feet into a dazzling ball of electricity.

boom!
In an instant, the electric ball was kicked out like a shot on goal!

The electric ball tore through the rain and shot straight into the sky!
On the other side, Bei Shang was also standing on the opposite carriage, raising his hand and waving:
"Tornado cloud, use the weather balloon!"

The tornado in mid-air spread its arms and instantly condensed a pure white energy ball, which it threw downwards. The weather ball changed rapidly in the rain, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a ball of surging water, which fell with the wet and cold rain!
Sizzle—Bang!

The forces were not on the same level, and the electric ball was instantly dispersed!

Water Flow Weather Ball shows no signs of slowing down, closing in on Flare Ace.

But Ash's eyes lit up, as if he had been waiting for this moment:
"Flash Ace, take it this time!"

"cowry!!"

Instead of retreating, Flame Ace leaped forward to meet the incoming water sphere, his eyes brimming with confidence.

It's seen the Weather Ball move countless times today and can catch it!
Its steps are precise and agile; with a turn of its body, it lifts its leg, dissipates the force, and controls the ball.

The entire set of movements was so fluid, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

The Weather Ball, which should have exploded and created a surf wave, was actually controlled by Cinderace's foot!

"what?!"

Bei Shang's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise.

The next instant, Cinderace used the momentum to twist and turn, delivering an extremely fierce counter-kick that sent the Water Stream Weather Ball flying back the way it came!

"Drink?!"

The tornado was clearly not expecting its attack to be countered in this way, and reacted a beat too slow, as the water ball had already hit it head-on.

Sizzle—Boom!

The water burst open in mid-air, and the tornado was shaken, its entire body instantly covered with rain and splashing water.

The effect is outstanding!

Ash gave his opponent no chance to breathe, and swung his right hand down fiercely.

"And then there's the electric ball!"

"cowry!!"

Flame Ace kicked again almost at the same second.

This time, the electric ball that was kicked out by Condensation was far more powerful than usual, both in terms of speed and force!
It wasn't just Ash's bond power; under the pressure of the final countdown in this storm, Cinderace's condition was also forcibly pushed to its peak, even surpassing its usual limits.

Sizzle!
The electric ball hit the tornado cloud precisely, and the violent current exploded along the water remaining on its body, triggering a lightning explosion!
"Ugh!"

The tornado let out a scream as its entire body was engulfed by lightning and plummeted from mid-air.

This time, it was a direct "shotdown"!

"There's one and a half minutes left."

Ash's eyes were more focused than ever before. The sense of urgency brought by this countdown was even more intense than when he battled Iris at the Twin Dragons Gym not long ago.

In fact, a small town surrounded by a vast forest can already be seen in the distance.

Bei Shang's composed expression was starting to falter; time was of the essence for him.

Seeing the tornado cloud fall, he immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Tornado cloud, storm!"

It was obvious that he wanted to do it again.

The tornado immediately raised its hand, about to unleash a storm on the carriage, using the powerful recoil to bounce back into the sky and return to the most suitable position for its battle.

But this time, Ash didn't give him a chance at all; his voice pressed down on him almost simultaneously:

"Don't even think about it this time, a surprise attack!"

"Beeh!"

Flame Ace's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a layer of dark black light suddenly swept over his body.

Whoosh!

With the Liberty ability activated, the attribute instantly changed to Dark. Cinderace cracked through the water beneath his feet and shot up like a black arrow!

Just as the tornado cloud had half-risen into the air using the power of the storm, the Flame Ace was already upon it.

boom!
A fierce and swift impact struck Tornado Cloud squarely in the chest!
The tornado grunted, its body, which was about to take off, was violently knocked off its balance. The storm vortex swirled wildly, and its entire body was thrown sideways again, splashing up a large amount of rain.

Takeoff failed!

Just like the lightning cloud before, his body was also covered in wounds.

"."

Ash stared intently. Even though the whirlwind from Tornado wasn't aimed at Cinderace, any attack move could trigger the surprise attack effect.

Only 30 seconds left!

Rain streamed down his cheeks. He abruptly looked up and shouted in a deep voice:
"Determine the winner in one fell swoop! Keep the electric ball on your feet!!"

"cowry!!"

Without needing further explanation, Flame Ace charged forward instantly.

The two, bound by a bond, understood each other perfectly. Electricity gathered wildly at their toes, instantly condensing into a dazzling ball of electricity.

But this time, it didn't kick the electric ball away.

Instead, it sprints at high speed like a soccer ball, leaving bright electric trails on the ceiling of the carriage with each step.

Bei Shang understood that Xiao Zhi was going to use this move to decide the winner, and his voice suddenly rose:
"Tornado, use your arm punch to block it!!"

"Hmph!!"

With a roar, the tornado cloud's two arms were simultaneously enveloped in a deep white light, its muscles bulged, and its aura surged as it crossed itself in front of its body.

It even instinctively conjured a whirlwind in front of it, howling as it blew towards the Blazing Ace, attempting to weaken the oncoming attack.

But Flame Ace's dribbling speed didn't decrease at all; on the contrary, it got faster and faster!
Finally, it suddenly raised its leg and swept the electric ball out in a powerful horizontal kick!
Sizzle—Boom!
The ball of electricity exploded violently in front of the tornado's crossed defensive arms. The violent lightning and shockwave instantly engulfed what lay ahead, and smoke and water mist spread outwards. The rain falling from the sky was also shaken outwards by this blow!

The entire train carriage shook violently, with an astonishingly loud noise!
Xiaozhi and Beishang stared intently at the center of the explosion, neither of them uttering a sound.

A few seconds later, the rain stopped and the dark clouds dissipated.

The train officially entered Jinlun Town, slowed down, and prepared to stop at the platform.

Hey!
Flame Ace retreated back onto the roof of the vehicle, slightly out of breath, but its gaze never left the front.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a tornado-like cloud appeared.
Still standing!

His body was covered in wounds, crackling with tiny electric arcs, and his breathing was rapid and heavy.

However, it was only in a state of near collapse, not incapacitated.

At the same time, the train emitted a long braking sound, pulled into Jinlun Town Station, and came to a steady stop.

The challenge against the subway has officially ended! (End of Chapter)
