Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

"Want to fight again? Alright, Picoshi, let's continue the battle and defeat the enemy completely!"

Seeing the fighting spirit burning in Clefairy's eyes, Ash decided not to replace it.

"Wouldn't it be better to replace Clefairy, which has a type disadvantage, at this point?" Xiaochun didn't quite understand Xiaozhi's decision.

Brock seemed to understand a bit more about the difference between Ash and Clefairy.

"In general, it is advisable to replace it, but as a trainer, you must also pay attention to what the Pokémon thinks."

Misty, who is most familiar with Ash's battle methods, was not at all surprised by his actions.

"Well, that's Ash's unique way of battling. He never plays by the rules."

"Picoxi uses a powerful charge!"

The pink figure immediately charged at its opponent with astonishing force.

Before the opponent could react, it had already struck the Metagross's massive body.

Furthermore, when Piccolo bumped into Metagross, it nimbly grabbed one of its paws.

"What are you trying to do? Metagross Metal Claw, throw it off right now!" Sundae was worried that Piccolo was going to use a skill similar to a self-destruct attack.

"Destroy the Death Ray!"

Metagross raised the claw that was firmly held by Piccolo, and it glowed white as it prepared to slam it to the ground.

But at that moment, Clefairy seized the opportunity and fired a Hyper Beam at extremely close range, hitting Metagross squarely.

After the explosion, both Pokémon were thrown away by the impact, but they both stubbornly stood up again.

"Taking advantage of the opponent's momentary lapse after using Hyper Beam, Metagross unleashed a barrage of Comet Punches!"

Metagross, with its supercomputer-like intellect, quickly regained consciousness.

Taking the initiative, they launched a fierce attack on Piccolo, with all four metal arms flashing white light as they frantically attacked Piccolo.

For a moment, Piccolo was like a pink ball being constantly patted by it.

Even after such a rapid onslaught, Metagross was getting a little tired and quickly retreated to create some distance.

But Piccolo actually stood up again.

Its eyes were bloodshot, and it wiped the dust off its face, letting out a strange, cacophony of laughter.

"How come this Piccolo is so tough? It hasn't fallen down after so many moves!" Sundae was already a little scared.

This Picoxi is like an unkillable cockroach, seemingly never going to fall.

"Wow, this Clefairy! Ash's Clefairy can still stand up after such a fast and type disadvantageous attack. It's so tenacious!"

The commentator and the entire audience applauded Picosi's willpower.

That's what they don't understand: Clefairy not only had Ash's type advantage but also served as his punching bag for a whole year.

It has high HP and is also extremely durable.

“Pico…”

Although Pikachu still has the ability to fight again, Ash knows that its stamina will eventually run out.

"It's time to decide the winner. At the very least, we have to take Metagross away!"

"Picoshi, charge forward with Comet Punch!"

Seeing the aggressive Pixie charging towards it, Metagross hesitated for a moment.

"We can't be afraid, Metagross also uses Comet Punch!"

The gap between the two Pokémon quickly narrowed, and their fists were about to land on each other.

"You've been tricked! Now Pikeshi is using Flamethrower!"

Thanks to the tacit understanding gained from numerous battles, Clefairy can intuitively carry out Ash's ideas without needing any extra instructions from him.

With a swift movement, the chubby body squatted down, and Metagross's Comet Punch swept past Clefairy's head.

But then, beneath Metagross's body, Piccolo opened its massive maw and unleashed a burst of flame.

"Metamorphosis!"

Metagross was blasted away by Pixie's Flamethrower and took a lot of damage.

"Metamorphosis has lost its ability to fight."

As the referee's flag was waved down, the Pokémon Globe on the big screen dimmed once again.

"Pico...heh, heh, heh!"

Seeing Metagross fall, Clefairy burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Quasi-gods and such, I hate them the most!

"The situation has reversed! An unexpected flamethrower has defeated Metagross!"

It has to be said that the audience in the Pokémon world is second only to the audience of the Magnetism Bloodlust audience.

Whenever a winner or loser emerges, the entire audience cheers for the contestant, never letting the atmosphere fall silent and showing great respect.

But this infuriated Sundae: "Damn it, damn it, Clefairy is just as damn it as Ash!"

Her face turned bright red, and she stomped her feet for a while before finally stopping.

She sends out her next Pokémon, "Go! Defeat their Gengar!"

It can only be said that Miss Sundae's daily stalking of Ash is both a curse and a blessing, because it is precisely because she suffers hardships every day that she has trained each of her Pokémon to be very good.

At this moment, two chubby little guys with very similar appearances appeared on the battlefield, one pink and the other blackish-purple.

Gengar, who had just appeared, stared blankly at Clefairy, who was showing a cruel smile. After comparing the two with its chubby little hands, it immediately turned to face Sundae.

He pointed at Piccolo, then at himself, and then showed a frightened expression.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle!" Gengar was almost crying in fear.

"Don't mess around like this. It's not your ghost clone that will die if it touches you. They're even different colors."

"Prepare for battle, Gengar!"

Sundae was somewhat helpless with her unreliable Gengar and could only order it to cheer up.

It looks like a Gengar with a somewhat quirky personality.

"How is it? Is Picosi still able to fight?"

"Clefairy, Clefairy!" came Ash's resolute call.

Once this brat is on the field, he absolutely refuses to leave, but this also ignites all of Pikesi's fighting spirit.

Ash, who loves Pokémon the most, always puts the will of his friends first.

As for winning or losing...

Hey, miracles happen with brute force, just go for it!

"Picoxi uses Mind Hammer!"

"Get out of the way of Gengar, use Sludge Bomb!"

When Clefairy uses Psychic Hammer, it cannot flexibly observe its surroundings, which gives Gengar an opportunity to dodge.

It floated directly up from its position, drifted directly above Piccolo, plucked a few sludge pellets from its mouth, and struck Piccolo from above.

The mental hammer attack was interrupted, and Picosi fell into a poisoned state.

"Sludge bombs... What bad luck. Were they all designed to target Picosi?"

“That’s right, they’re all tailor-made for you!” Sundae struck a classic elegant lady’s smile. “Oh, hahaha.”

"Giggle, giggle, giggle." Gengar mimicked its trainer's pose and let out a strange laugh.

"Don't you dare copy me!" Sundae, her face darkening, immediately followed up with the attack order.

"Even Clefairy should be at its limit by now, Gengar, use Venom Tackle!"

When facing an opponent who is poisoned, Venom Impact becomes twice as powerful as usual.

Picoshi, now poisoned, moved slowly, and the injuries it sustained in the previous battle with Metagross also flared up.

Its face still wore that excited yet eerie cruel smile, but now it was kneeling on one knee and unable to move.

"Damn it, it's not nighttime." Ash looked up at the weather; even using Moonlight in the middle of the day wouldn't restore much stamina.

"Pico!"

While Ash was thinking of a solution, Clefairy spoke up. Its eyes met Ash's and it understood what Ash meant in an instant.

"I know your intentions, Piccolo, perform your final dance, leap!"

The jumping skill is a skill that Pipi is born with; it doesn't attack, it just hops around.

But at this moment, Clefairy, which was already unable to move, was forced to jump up and dodge most of the poison splashed out by Gengar's Venom Impact.

At the same time, Clefairy's body rapidly approaches Gengar, which is floating in the air.

"Strengthen your willpower!"

A powerful psychic force was sent towards its opponent, and Gengar instantly fell to the ground with a pained expression.

Seize this opportunity and unleash your "Mind Hammer!"

"Gengar, get out of the way... It's too late, so I'll use Poison Juggler."

Relying on gravity to free fall, Clefairy's headbutt successfully hit Gengar, but it was also struck by Gengar's purple-glowing arm.

"Clefairy and Gengar are both unable to battle!"

The referee raised both flags.

"It's so unexpected! Ash's Clefairy, with its strong perseverance, actually defeated Sundae's Gengar in the end."

"Now that Sundae has three Pokémon unable to battle, the match will enter a 15-minute break."

"Ash is currently leading by one Pokémon. Who will win in the end? It's really exciting!"

Ash and Sundae each recalled their Pokémon and went to rest on the chairs by the field.
