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

The two shook hands politely, giving off a sense of mutual respect between formidable rivals before a match.

"Damn it, let go! Where did this wicked woman come from?" Xiaoxia gritted her teeth.

"At least in Water-type Pokémon competitions, Ash's only real rival is Misty, the future Water-type Pokémon Master!"

"Xiaoxia, calm down..."

Serena, who was standing nearby, broke out in a cold sweat and struggled to pull Xia back.

When Ash and his friends returned to the players' dormitory, Suicune immediately jumped out and volunteered.

"Boss, boss, how about letting me play?"

"They're from the water element too~"

With such a large audience, Babaozhou was itching to take the stage.

Unfortunately, Ash rejected it without even thinking.

"Alright, sweetie, here's a bone for you to play with somewhere else." Ash took out a specially made meat bone stick, waved it in front of Eight Treasure Porridge, and tossed it aside.

"Ow~"

Babaozhou only realized what had happened after it retrieved the bone that Xiaozhi had thrown.

"Pah! I'm not a dog!"

"Ugh! Why can't I play?!" Babaozhou immediately started throwing a tantrum.

"This is a Water-type Pokémon tournament." Ash was afraid of its embarrassing performance.

"Right now, you only have Crunch and Extreme Speed ​​available. What will you do if you encounter a Water-type Pokémon with high HP?"

Besides attribute advantages, Eight Treasure Porridge's previous victories were often achieved by leveraging its high speed and high defense, allowing it to stay on the field for as long as possible and slowly grind down the opponent.

Although it's not impossible for Ash to win, he still wants his legendary Pokémon to maintain their cool factor.

The upcoming matches will be broadcast live, so it wouldn't do if Babaozhou played too poorly.

Ash went to great lengths to protect the reputation of legendary Pokémon.

Another issue is that Babaozhou has very few skills, and during Lazy Dog training, he always tries to find ways to slack off.

Xiao Zhi needs to focus more on training it in this area.

"Since you're so eager to play, let's start training right now!"

"Ah, no!"

It was too late. Just as Babaozhou turned to run away, he was caught by Supreme Xiaozhi and immediately threw himself into happy training.

Soon it was time for the second battle of the second day, and Ash and Mimi had arrived at the two sides of the battlefield, ready to fight.

In the second round of the Whirlpool Tournament, the rules changed to one-on-one battles using two Pokémon, with the other side winning when one Pokémon is completely defeated.

Gao Mei was the first to release her Pokémon. Contrary to her gentle appearance, the Pokémon she used was a ferocious Gyarados.

But coincidentally, Ash's first Pokémon was also Gyarados.

Ash's beloved sword, the golden, goofy Gyarados.

"Wow, this battle is actually an internal war between Gyarados!" The commentator, as always, maintained his high level of enthusiasm and immediately began to give a lively commentary.

"Ash's Gyarados is a rare Shiny Gyarados, and it's even two sizes larger than Miss Gorilla's Gyarados!"

"I wonder how Miss Gao Mei plans to handle this?"

The people of the Whirl Islands have a particular fondness for Water-type Pokémon, so when a trainer brings out a rare Water-type Pokémon at a grand event like the Whirl Tournament, it elicits cheers from the crowd.

Not to mention Ash's extremely rare golden Gyarados, which the audience had never seen before, immediately garnered a warm response.

They were quite a group of dedicated Pokémon fans, taking photos and exclaiming in amazement as Ash's big, goofy self laughed uncontrollably.

Even when the Gyarados opposite it came over with a fierce and menacing look, it was both a little scared and happy as it twisted its body.

"Alright, stop being so awkward, we're battling now." Ash, being the hot-blooded type of trainer, naturally took the initiative to greet us with an offensive move.

"Gyarados, use Waterfall!"

"Gyarados, use Hyper Beam!"

The contestant opposite me, Gao Mei, seems to be quite skilled as well.

Her Gyarados unleashed Hyper Beam, instantly evaporating a large amount of seawater simply by striking the surface.

However, hitting Ash's Golden Gyarados failed to stop its actions.

The imposing golden body propelled the water currents that surged towards its opponent, who was trying to hide behind a pillar on the field.

The golden Gyarados snapped the pillar in two, slamming the opponent's Gyarados hard onto the large platform in the center of the battlefield.

Then, Ash's Golden Gyarados immediately lashed out with its tail, sending it flying back into the water.

"My God, what incredible power! Ash's Gyarados is displaying terrifying strength commensurate with its size!"

"Gao Mei seems to be at a disadvantage."

"Gyarados, hold on! Use Thunderbolt!" Gao Mei shouted as she stepped forward and looked out over the water.

The Gyarados in the water immediately responded to its trainer, leaping out and beginning to charge its whiskers with electricity.

"Is that Gyarados on the other side going for a special attack build?"

Ash was a little confused by the fact that it was both a destructive beam and a 100,000-volt attack.

However, this is, after all, a Water-type Pokémon tournament, so it's normal for trainers to bring some skills or abilities to deal with Water-type Pokémon.

After all, some people might sneakily bring Pokémon with the Water Absorption ability to participate in the competition.

Gyarados's natural Special Attack is relatively weak, less than half of its Physical Attack, so its Thunderbolt attack is generally not very powerful.

But coincidentally, her opponent this time, Ash, also sent out Gyarados, so it was a kind of intelligent matchmaking.

For Gyarados, which is four times weak to Electric, even a Thunderbolt attack used by another Gyarados would be enough to cause considerable damage.

Therefore, Ash doesn't intend to let the big guy take the hit head-on.

"Gyarados jumps back to the surface of the water, then flies up to dodge and uses Dragon Dance!"

Don't forget that Gyarados is also a Flying-type; in fact, it can fly.

The giant golden dragon used its tail to leap nimbly into the water, while Gao Mei's Gyarados naturally wouldn't give up on its target so easily.

100,000 volts immediately chased after it and attacked, and then the big, dumb creature immediately opened its mouth wide, inhaled, and flew into the air, swaying its body.

At this moment, Gyarados's 100,000 volts of electricity tried to follow up, but it suddenly shocked itself.

The electric current flowed through Gyarados's entire body, causing considerable damage.

"Oh no, how could this happen?"

"A little physics tip: Seawater can conduct electricity."

This is a victory of wisdom. The reason Ash made Gyarados try to jump back into the water was to guide the opposing Gyarados to use Thunderbolt to attack the surface of the water.

This time, the Gyarados, which was four times weaker to Electric, was successfully shocked by its own Thunderbolt.

Taking advantage of the fact that the big guy was now flying in the air and had been enhanced by Dragon Dance, Ash immediately launched an attack.

"Gyarados, attack from the air using Water Tail!"

Gyarados, which was flying in the air with its mouth wide open and body swaying like a carp streamer, immediately raised its tail upon hearing Ash's command.

A ring of water swirled around its tail and swiftly struck the head of the electrified Gyarados.

Although it is a bit clumsy and simple-minded, it will obey Ash's commands 100%.

At the same time, it has a strong ability to imitate. At this moment, the way it uses Water Tail is just imitating Pikachu's Iron Tail.

And he always hits people on the head; he's learned bad habits from Pikachu.

This extremely violent water jet created a giant wave over ten meters high, causing Gao Mei's Gyarados to float belly-up and lose its ability to fight.

"Well done, Gyarados!"

"Roar~~"

The Golden Gyarados's naive mind was instantly filled with confidence, and its attack power increased.

[Ding! Gyarados: Affection +2; Friendship +2]

"The big guy's Senses are almost full, just a little bit more away," Ash thought to himself, "maybe one more win and it will be done."

Gyarados, keep fighting!

Komi immediately sent out her second Pokémon, which turned out to be a Golduck.

The blue duck is the evolved form of Misty Psyduck.

"Please, Golduck."

"Gotha!"

Unlike Xiaoxia's unreliable Psyduck, this Golduck's eyes are full of wisdom and reliability.

"Gyarados, use Waterfall again!"

"Goldfish, water jet!"

Both moved at the same time, but the Golduck on the other side was faster.

Water Jet is a move that always has priority and greatly increases the speed of the Pokémon when it uses the move.

Golduck, completely submerged in water, slammed into Gyarados's belly like a water bullet.

But the fool doesn't feel pain. Gyarados's Waterfall attack didn't hesitate at all and continued to press aggressively towards Golduck.

Under its body, the Golduck had almost nowhere to hide, and absorbed all the damage from the Waterfall skill.

Moreover, the Golduck that was hit seemed to shrink back and began to stand there blankly.

In that case, Ash wouldn't miss the perfect opportunity to attack.

"Gyarados, use Crunch now!"

"Goldfish, hang in there!"

Gyarados's gaping maw bit into Golduck's arm; given Golduck's stamina, it would have been defeated by now.
