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

With a loud bang, the attack produced a considerable explosion, and Scizor floated cleanly back to Ash's half of the field along the blast wave.

The entire process was clean and beautiful, without a single unnecessary movement.

"It's perfect. Watching Pokémon battles like this is a real treat."

While Abi was still basking in the moment, the referee walked over and raised the flag in his hand.

"Ariados is unable to fight, and Scizor wins this battle."

"Oh no, I forgot we're still in battle. Ash is so cunning."

"To use such a cool Bug-type Pokémon like Scizor to distract me, what a powerful and despicable opponent!"

"Hey, you were the one who got drawn in, and you're trying to blame me."

"I'm not going to give up the title of Bug-type Pokémon Master!"

What's with this Bug Caterpillar's final evolution?!

"Since you've brought out such an amazing Pokémon, I guess I have to get serious too." Abi pulled out a new Poké Ball from his pocket.

"Now I'll use you, Metapod!"

"Hmm?" Abi sent out a Pokémon that no one expected.

"Metapod usually only hardens, so what's the point of sending it up here?" Ash was a little confused.

"Let me give you some advice: don't underestimate my armored pupa."

"Mantis, Bullet Punch."

"Metallica uses a ramming attack."

Ash thinks that Pencil sending out Metapod is just for laughs, and that he will easily win this round again.

Unexpectedly, Abi's Metapod actually moved, and it moved so fast under such a hard shell.

The pincers of Metapod and Scizor collided violently, and the resulting explosion engulfed both Pokémon in flames.

The Scizor was the first to slide backward from the center of the explosion, while the Metapod appeared to be completely unharmed.

"See? This is the power of the Bug-type Pokémon I've carefully trained."

"Metapod, use Iron Wall followed by Ram!"

That's what they say, but in reality, their attacks are limited to collision skills.

"Scizor, use Bullet Punch to hit back."

The large red pincers swung forward, striking the armored pupa and sending it flying.

The armored pupa bounced back and forth like a three-dimensional pinball in the woods next to the arena, and then miraculously bounced back again.

It attacks the Scizor at extremely high speed.

Caught off guard, the scyther was hit by this attack and suffered considerable damage.

"How could this be? Scizor, watch out!"

After striking the scythe, the armored pupa quickly bounced between the trees before suddenly attacking again.

It's impossible to guard against.

"Haha, how about it, Ash? My Metapod has been a Metapod for 5 years now."

"Its grade and hardness are beyond your imagination!" Abi said proudly.

"What's there to be proud of?"

"And does your Metapod really want to stay Metapod forever?"

Metapod is known for its rapid evolution, and to be a Metapod for 5 years...

Xiao Zhi's gaze towards A Bi sharpened.

"What do you mean by that look? Of course, it's because the armored pupa didn't want to do it."

"Do you think it's because I didn't want it to evolve into Butterfree?"

Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes. I was practically begging Metapod to evolve back then.

However, the armored pod has now become a unique trump card in his hand.

"Besides, I planted these trees here specifically for this purpose, Xiao Zhi, what are you going to do about it?" Abi was quite pleased with his clever idea.

Many dojo challengers have been defeated by this move of his.

This guy, Abi, is truly a master of Bug-type Pokémon, having trained Bug-type Pokémon to this level.

"But if this keeps going, won't it never end?" Ash observed Metapod's movements intently.

Finally seizing the opportunity, "the scyther used its pincers to grab the armored pupa, pinning it to the ground and then using its beam cannon!"

Upon hearing Ash's command, Scizor seized the opportunity and extended its large pincers as Metapod charged at it once again.

It clamped its jaws firmly onto the armored pupa, but the impact of the rammed creature was considerable, causing the scyther to slide backward several meters across the field.

But it held on in the end, quickly clamping the armored pupa down to the ground, the energy waves in its pincers converging.

Cannon beam cannon fires at extremely close range!

"What? They actually managed to seize this opportunity?" Abi was shocked.

It was a very simple and crude method to crack the code, but he was the only one who succeeded in doing so, and he had only met Xiao Zhi.

When the explosion of the cannon fire subsided, the Metapod under the Scizor's pincers was covered in dust and unable to fight.

The referee immediately waved the flag, announcing, "The Scizor wins this game!"

“You did very well, Metapod.”

Recalling the Metapod from the field, Abi took out her third Poké Ball.

"Ash, it's been a long time since anyone has asked me to send out a third Pokémon. I take back what I said before, you're not an unskilled trainer."

"It's more accurate to say that someone who can raise a Scizor so well must be an exceptionally skilled trainer!"

"Your criteria seem a bit off, don't you? You only look at the training level of Bug-type Pokémon?"

"That's not important, let's go, my ace Scyther!"

The creature that appeared on the screen was a large green praying mantis, its scythes gleaming sharply in the sunlight.

This is the Pokémon he has trained with the utmost effort, a masterpiece he is full of confidence in.

Ash decided to recall Scizor and send out his third Pokémon.

"I choose you, Chicory!"

Chikorita didn't appear on the field when she first appeared; instead, she flew through the air and pounced into Ash's arms, acting all cute.

"Chirp~"

"Oh dear, I told you not to get too close like that, this is a battle!"

"What? They actually sent out Chikorita?" Abi became serious the moment he saw Ash send out Chikorita.

"Could it be that Chikorita possesses the ability to reverse type disadvantages?"

Of course not. Although Ash is a master of type reversal, he only sent Chikorita out this time simply to let it get some experience.

"Go, Chikorita! We'll win as long as we wear down their stamina!"

"whisper!"

After affectionately nuzzling Ash for a while, Chikorita finally jumped back onto the battlefield.

"Chrysanthemum leaf, flying leaf swift knife!"

"Scyther uses Combo Slash!"

The opposing Scyther was quite powerful; the Razor Leaf launched by Chikorita was quickly shredded by its scythe.

And it quickly approached the chrysanthemum leaves, striking repeatedly and hitting its mark.

The power of this skill increases with each hit, and Chikorita suffered considerable damage.

"Chrysanthemum leaf poison powder!"

However, while the opponent was focused on attacking, the poison powder from the chicory leaves successfully hit its target.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Chicory Leaf."

Before Chikorita lost its ability to battle, Ash quickly recalled it into its Poké Ball.

"Scizor is back in action."

On the field, two praying mantises, one red and one green, stare at each other nervously.

"Scyther, Quick Attack!"

"Scizor, Bullet Punch!"

Both sides moved almost simultaneously, at a speed too fast to be seen with the naked eye.

The scythe and the giant pincers struck each other's cheeks simultaneously, and they roared as they retreated.

The opponent's Scyther is quite powerful; it was able to fight Ash's Pokémon to a standstill for a while.

"Slash after slash!"

"Slash after slash!"

Simple hand-to-hand combat, ultimate enjoyment.

The arms of Scyther and Scizor were already blurring out afterimages, and the sounds of their clashes echoed across the field.

Both mantises are skilled technicians, and their skills are quite powerful.

"This is exactly the kind of battle I've been waiting for!" Abi was deeply moved as she watched the battle; Bug-type Pokémon are just too wonderful.

However, Ash's Scizor is still much stronger than Scyther.

Even though it had already exhausted some of its stamina, the Scyther gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Moreover, the potent poison left by the chicory leaves began to take effect at this moment; a purple flash appeared on the mantis's face, and its movements were noticeably slower.

Both sides are running out of energy, and the battle is about to begin!
