Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 596 I choose you, Pikachu!
"Pickup?"

"Phew... It's okay, Pikachu, I'm fine."

Ash gave Pikachu a somewhat forced, reassuring smile.

He still felt pain all over his body, but he could bear it.

"Ash, are you alright?"

Mammon said something to Ash out of concern.

At this moment, many astonished gazes were already falling from the stands, after all, how could a trainer almost be knocked down during a Pokémon battle?

"Ah, it's nothing. I'm already used to this kind of situation."

Xiao Zhi touched his nose sheepishly, then persevered and stood up again, but his posture was still a little hunched over.

"I think you should use that form less often if necessary."

Mammon raised an eyebrow, feeling that the side effects of the bondage transformation seemed a bit too strong.

Ash's physique is excellent, and his willpower is beyond question, but even Ash looks so disheveled.

This shows how intense the pain we just experienced is for a human being.

"Haha, I know." Xiao Zhi laughed it off.

Compared to the pain he suffered, the increased strength of Greninja through the Bond Transformation was completely worthwhile.

Moreover... isn't this proof and miracle of his bond with Greninja?
Mammon said no more after hearing this, since it was Ash's own decision.

Ash recalled Greninja, looked at the menacing Tyranitar, and took a deep breath.

No matter what, we have to defeat this guy!

Xiao Zhi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes resolute.

"Pikachu!"

Ash looked at the Electric Mouse beside his feet; he had to rely on this partner he valued most.

He has lost four of his main Pokémon, and Charizard Y is also seriously injured. Moreover, Charizard Y is clearly not a good match for Tyranitar.

After all, although Tyranitar can't fly, the power of its STAB Rock-type moves is undeniable.

Well, although Tyranitar is too monstrous, its original Rock type still has a STAB bonus.

"Pika~chu!"

Electric Mouse naturally noticed this, and with a big smile, it cutely raised its little arm and gave Ash a thumbs-up.

"it is good!"

Ash was instantly filled with fighting spirit.

"Then I choose you! Pikachu!"

The young man, full of youthful vigor, turned the brim of his baseball cap behind his head and waved his arm with a dashing shout.

Pikachu, equally full of energy, leaped onto the battlefield, its fiercely determined eyes fixed on Tyranitar.

The electric sacs on Pikachu's cheeks crackled and sparked with arcs of electricity, signifying Pikachu's high fighting spirit and caution at that moment.

“Intelligent skin…”

Looking at the boy and Pikachu opposite him, Mammon's eyes couldn't help but show a slight ripple.

Then Mammon lowered his head and smiled, crossed his arms, and gently tapped his arms with his fingers, seemingly quite satisfied.

"He's quite a formidable opponent."

Tyranitar let out a low, defiant growl at Pikachu, but Pikachu was not afraid at all, gripping the ground with all four limbs and assuming a fighting stance.

"Pikachu versus Tyranitar, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have thought that such a matchup would occur in the quarterfinals of the World Championship?"

From the stands, Brock watched the two Pokémon facing off on the battlefield and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

“Yes, but…” Xiaoxia hugged Togepi and looked at the boy and Pikachu in the arena.

She still remembers what Ash said back then: "Pikachu looks like a stray dog ​​on the roadside."

But what does it matter? Ash's Pikachu has proven its strength time and time again with its impressive battle record.

"Hopefully Pikachu can defeat this Tyranitar."

……

On the field.

"earthquake."

Mammon, unusually, launched an attack.

He couldn't wait to have a good match with Ash, that electric mouse.

Bangiras roared, raised one foot, and then stomped it down heavily.

Rumble!
The entire battlefield trembled violently, and tangible earthquake shockwaves reverberated forward.

Earthquakes in the ground system.

"Pikachu! Get out of the way!" Ash commanded without hesitation.

Pikachu was on high alert, leaping up as the earthquake shockwave reached its front.

"One hundred thousand volts!"

"Sharp stone attack!"

Golden electricity crackled and crackled around Pikachu as a thick bolt of electricity shot out at high speed toward Tyranitar.

In front of Tyranitar were sharp rocks, a Rock-type attack.

Boom boom boom!
The sharp stone attack and the 100,000 volts collided violently in mid-air, creating a deafening roar.

But soon, some of the sharp stone attacks broke through Pikachu's Thunderbolt and continued to strike Pikachu with unstoppable force.

"Pikachu!"

A white flash appeared behind Pikachu, followed by a Normal-type priority move, Quick Attack.

With the help of a flash of lightning, Pikachu immediately sprinted towards the ground, avoiding the few attacks from the sharp stones.

"As expected, even Pikachu is not as good as Tyranitar in a head-on confrontation."

The exchange was brief, but Ash already understood this point.

As expected, we still need to use a roundabout strategy and take advantage of Pikachu's agility. "It actually managed to briefly withstand Tyranitar's Stone Edge attack." Mammon narrowed his eyes slightly.

To be honest, even though he valued Zhipi, Mammon was still quite surprised.

After all, Stone Edge is Tyranitar's STAB attack, and Dragon Dance had previously boosted Tyranitar's Attack stat.

In this situation, the Stone Edge attack was unable to directly suppress Pikachu's Thunderbolt.

As expected of Ash's team's ace and elder brother, he's much stronger than Charizard Y and Bonded Greninja.

"Pikachu, lightning flashes!"

Ash's mind raced, and he shouted at Pikachu.

A flash of white light appeared behind Pikachu, and it dashed towards Tyranitar at an incredible speed.

"Are we going to get close again? Why?"

In the audience, Mikoli was somewhat puzzled by what he saw.

Judging from this situation, Ash is again trying to get Pikachu to engage in close combat, simply because he wants to take advantage of Pikachu's small size and agility.

Yes, theoretically that's how it should be played.

But aren't the lessons learned from Sceptile and Greninja still fresh in our minds? Mammon is clearly very experienced in this kind of defensive counter-attack.

In Mikkuri's opinion, it would be better to keep his distance from Tyranitar and use Pikachu's ranged attacks to find an opportunity.

“It’s too difficult to defeat Tyranitar without getting close.” Daigo shook his head.

"While Pikachu's ranged attacks are not weak, Tyranitar is too."

Daigo said, "Remote attacks aren't exclusive to special attacks."

Rock Slide and Rock Slash are both ranged attacks, and for Tyranitar, these two are sufficient to deal with attacks like Pikachu's Thunderbolt.

While maintaining distance for combat is possible, the chances are extremely slim.

"Opportunities and risks always coexist. Xiaozhi is someone who is willing to take risks and actively seek opportunities to win, even if that could also be the reason for his failure."

Daigo calmly explained the reason.

Michael frowned, but did not refute Daigo.

"Don't rush, wait for it to come over."

Mammon whispered to Tyranitar, knowing that Ash would take the initiative to attack.

He understood Ash's thoughts all too well; he still wanted to find an opportunity by getting close and take the initiative to win.

Tyranitar's fierce eyes were fixed on the charging Pikachu.

The two Pokémon are getting closer and closer.

Ten meters, five meters, three meters, one meter!
Pikachu leaped up and charged at Tyranitar like lightning.

"A piercing sound!"

Mammon gave the order decisively.

"Ban!"

Tyranitar emitted an extremely loud noise, not to block Pikachu's Quick Attack, but to prevent Pikachu from retreating immediately after being hit by Quick Attack.

Sure enough, Pikachu looked uncomfortable as it sprinted forward.

The piercing sound was so harsh that it was torture for my eardrums.

"I knew it!" Ash was not surprised.

After all, Greninja had already learned its lesson from that piercing sound once, so how could it possibly make the same mistake again?
Pikachu's Quick Attack dash continued, but Tyranitar noticed that the yellow electric mouse had dashed past him.

That's right, the target of that lightning strike wasn't Tyranitar at all; it was a feint.

Using the momentum of the lightning bolt, even with its eardrums being tormented, Pikachu still managed to rush behind Tyranitar.

"The power of the earth!"

Mammon raised an eyebrow.

Tyranitar roared, and a yellowish-brown energy glowed on the ground beneath Pikachu.

"Pikachu!"

The 'echo' of the piercing sound had already passed, and Pikachu instantly jumped back up the moment it landed.

boom!
The power of the earth erupted, but Pikachu managed to retreat out of the range of the earth's attack first.

boom!
Pikachu, which had turned back, slammed its head into Tyranitar's face, the powerful impact sending Tyranitar flying backward.

Bangilas roared furiously, his shouts were incredibly loud.

However, Pikachu didn't care and used the recoil from the impact to move backward.

"One hundred thousand volts!"

"Evil wave!"

Pikachu's body crackled with electricity, while Tyranitar's gaping maw pulsed with black light.

A hundred thousand volts and a wave of evil energy burst forth.

Golden lightning collided with black light at close range, and after a violent impact, they exploded with a deafening roar, creating a powerful and surging shockwave.

It knocked Pikachu and Tyranitar back at the same time.

Tyranitar took two steps back to regain its balance, while Pikachu was also sent flying backward, circling several times before landing and immediately bouncing up to adjust its battle stance.

"Such a quick reaction..." Ash gritted his teeth, realizing he hadn't gained any advantage.

He had reason to believe that Pikachu's quick attack would leave a normal opponent with absolutely no time to react.

However, Tyranitar still retaliated with Dark Pulse; otherwise, if the Thunderbolt had hit, it would have been a sure win.

But as expected, a tough and powerful opponent is not so easy to deal with.

Xiao Zhi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Now he really had a feeling about it.

When fighting Mammon, each of Mammon's main units is like a boss in a game; he has to do everything in his power and rack his brains to find a way to defeat them.

The boss in front of us, named Tyranitar, is really difficult!
