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

The flames behind him instantly ignited, evaporating the moisture from his body.

The most powerful jet of flame was fired at the white sea lion's head, instantly sending it flying out of the pool.

It crashed heavily into the ice rock on the field, and the huge ice rock shattered into pieces all over the ground.

"White Sea Lion, incapacitated!"

Ash won the first round.

"Well done, young man."

Now, Uncle Liu is a gentle old man who praises young people, and even when he loses, he can still smile gently.

At this moment, the long-haired pig next to him, seeing Ash's battle just now, suddenly became a little restless.

"Hush, huh!"

"Really? You want a fight, you long-haired pig..."

"Since that's the case, let's go!" Uncle Liu has now regained the mindset of his youth.

Although the swamp pig only recovered for a day, Lucius still decided to follow the Pokémon's will.

If a Pokémon wants to battle, it will choose to fight alongside its partner, even if its type is unfavorable.

In this respect, he is indeed very similar to Ash.

The long-haired pig immediately slid onto the battlefield.

"Firestorm, breathe fire!"

"The long-haired pig is next, followed by a blizzard."

The long-haired pig's massive size put it at a disadvantage in terms of movement, so Uncle Liu had no intention of letting the long-haired pig dodge.

It stood still and took the flames directly from the Firestorm Beast, but the powerful flames seemed to have no effect on the long-haired boar.

“This condition is…thick fat.” Xiaoxia immediately identified the characteristics of the long-haired pig.

"Watch out, Ash. Pokémon with the Thick Fat ability will have their Fire and Ice type moves halved when they hit it."

"I see." Ash understood. No wonder the long-haired boar could withstand decades of being frozen.

Moreover, this long-haired boar was Liu Bo's ace in his youth. Until they met Xia Bo, they were undefeated in the Johto Alliance, so their strength was naturally quite formidable.

At this moment, the large-scale blizzard unleashed by the long-haired boar had covered the entire area, leaving the Firestorm Beast with no way to escape.

The snow was blowing in, and the Firestorm Beast suddenly felt its hands and feet were icy cold and its vision went black. It had been frozen inside a whole block of ice.

"That's incredibly powerful."

After the blizzard subsided, an enormous block of ice froze Typhlosion's entire body inside, extending from the bottom of the arena all the way to the gym's ceiling.

This long-haired pig definitely has the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"Go, Firestorm Beast! Ignite your fighting spirit and melt this ice!"

The frozen Typhlosion faintly heard Ash's voice and tried its best to ignite a flame within the ice.

But then...

"Long-haired pig, use 100,000 horsepower!"

A thunderous roar erupted as the massive body of the long-haired boar slammed into them.

The massive ice block, along with the fiery beast inside, was smashed into the air, sending shards of ice flying everywhere.

The Firestorm Beast was sent flying backwards for more than ten meters.

"Firestorm Beast, incapacitated!"

As expected of Uncle Liu's trump card, the Firestorm Beast was defeated decisively.

For Liu Bo, the long-haired pig is just as important as Pikachu is to Ash.

"In that case, it's most appropriate for you to play."

Seeing how powerful his opponent was, Ash was filled with a burning fighting spirit.

"Let's go, Pikachu!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu leaped stylishly onto Ash's shoulder, but unfortunately, the field was covered with a thick layer of frost due to the blizzard caused by the mollusc, and it slipped and fell as soon as it stepped on it.

My attempt to look cool failed.

"It's shameful to act cute, Pikachu."

"Pikachu, pikachu~"

"Alright, let's go all out and use Lightning Flash!"

"Pickup!"

Although Pikachu usually likes to act, it will unleash the power of its bond with Ash when facing a strong opponent, thus revealing its full potential.

For example, this time, the pressure from Uncle Liu's long-haired boar was enough to make Pikachu fight with 100% determination.

He ran at full speed, using lightning speed in a flash.

"Long-haired boar, use Charge!"

When they collided, a sudden gust of wind swept across the entire area, carrying shards of ice that made it difficult for Xiaoxia and Xima to open their eyes.

Click—!

The field was instantly shattered by the powerful impact between the two Pokémon, creating a long crack.

The pool at the center of the field had already been frozen by the long-haired pig blizzard, but now it has cracked open again.

"What an interesting opponent, it reminds me of my younger days." Uncle Liu was surprised that Ash's Pikachu was so strong.

"Long-haired pig, ice shards!"

Because the place where Pikachu and the Wooloo collided was right in the center of the field, where the pool used to be.

The ice there has now cracked again, and the long-haired pig, being larger and heavier, fell right down.

Pikachu then leaped up, stepping on the head of the long-haired boar. At that moment, a snow-white ice spike quickly condensed between the boar's two tusks and shot towards Pikachu in the air.

"Iron Tail!"

The iron tail, with power approaching that of a giant beast's strike, slashed down fiercely, splitting the large ice cone in two. At the same time, it struck the long-haired boar's head, further accelerating its descent.

"Now's the perfect opportunity, Pikachu, use Thunder!" Ash keenly seized the perfect moment to attack.

Even though the long-haired pig has ground-based attributes, it is not grounded right now, and its whole body is submerged in water.

As we all know, in the Pokémon world, water is an absolute conductor of electricity. No matter how insulated an object is, as long as water is sprinkled on it, Pikachu's electric shock can blast it away.

The lightning struck the water, and the electric shock immediately traveled with the current to the hairy pig.

The long-haired pig in the water was instantly jolted by the electric shock, its entire body covered in a dense network of tiny electric currents.

The long-haired pigs fell into a state of paralysis.

"Oh dear, this is really bad, Xiaoliu is in big trouble."

Sima, who was acting as the referee, couldn't help but tease Uncle Liu when she saw this.

"Hmph, it's too early to say that."

At this moment, Uncle Liu's face was full of happy smiles, as he was able to fight alongside the long-haired pig against a powerful enemy after a long time.

This feeling made him feel as if he were thirty years younger.

"Long-haired pig, use the digging technique!"

"What? Digging a hole in the water?" This counterintuitive idea startled Xiaoxia once again.

Surprisingly, even when paralyzed, the long-haired pig can still swim freely in the water, even though it is a ground-type creature that should be very afraid of water.

It immediately smashed the ice and rock at the bottom edge of the pool and began to swim beneath the surface.

"Pikachu, lie down immediately and listen carefully to any sounds coming from the ground."

Pikachu, which landed steadily in the air, immediately pressed its cute long ears close to the ground, keeping a close eye on the movements of the long-haired pig.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu quickly noticed that the long-haired boar seemed to be about to attack, and immediately stood up to be on guard.

"Alright, Pikachu, get ready to use Iron Tail!"

But then Uncle Liu smiled slightly.

"Xiao Zhi, the sound travels through ice and soil differently. If you use the usual method of sound localization, it's easy to make a mistake."

"Thank you and Pikachu for the paralysis. Use it to hold on after the Mamoswine comes out!"

The "Endure" skill is a move that doubles the power of a Pokémon when it is in an abnormal condition.

While the long-haired pig moves slowly on the ground, it is surprisingly fast when digging underground.

The area around the site was filled with tiny mounds of ice, each one looking like a spot where a long-haired pig might leap out.

Pikachu's tail gleamed with a metallic sheen, yet it couldn't quite pinpoint the true location of the long-haired boar.

At this moment, Ash finally used Aura Sensing, his eyes following the movement of the Wooloo through the ice.

"Can this hairy pig still be this fast while it's paralyzed...?"

"Pikachu is to the left front, use Iron Tail!"

"A keen judgment!" Uncle Liu looked at Xiao Zhi with new respect, for he could actually see through Xiao Zhi and the long-haired pig's special skills.

Pikachu's Iron Tail struck the tusks that the mollusk had exposed precisely, and the power of the mollusk's hard-hitting move was unleashed at that moment.

BOOM! ! !

The clash between the two Pokémon's moves threw the entire arena into turmoil, causing everything to shake violently.

Cracks spread rapidly across the ice, which made a teeth-grinding cracking sound before shattering completely in an instant.

Xia and Xima, who were watching from the sidelines, could no longer stand steadily.

But Liu Bo and Xiao Zhi's eyes were still fixed on the arena, which had been completely destroyed.
