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

In stark contrast, Ash, who had just suffered a defeat, still looked completely calm and collected.

"You've done a great job, Tyranitar. You're next, Pikachu!"

"Pickup!"

The first round was just a small appetizer to get acquainted with Ash; his second Pokémon was Pikachu.

After all, this match was Ash's way of teaching the little cross-dresser a lesson, so he showed no mercy.

Cold-blooded.ing

Upon hearing Xiao Zhi's call, Huang Haozi immediately jumped from his feet onto the battlefield, his body crackling with electricity.

Electric currents suddenly surged through the yellow sand like dragons, and Pikachu abandoned its cuteness this time, opting instead for a cool look.

"Ash is actually sending out Pikachu now?"

As a formidable rival, Gary naturally knew Pikachu's true strength, and his expression immediately became serious as he watched the battle.

At the same time, he reached into his pocket and stroked a Poké Ball with a lightning bolt sticker on it.

"If it were you, could you defeat Ash's Pikachu...?"

When the Scizor saw its new opponent appear so imposingly, it immediately shook its head, mustered its fighting spirit, and excitedly stood up.

Upon seeing that Ash had sent Pikachu up, Shingo immediately frowned.

"Come back and rest, Bray."

"Giant pincers?"

Bray couldn't quite understand his trainer's choice, but Shingo was quite wary of Ash's Pikachu, which was at a frighteningly high level.

Who on earth would train Pikachu to such a high level and then not let it evolve?

After being exposed by Ash's special Tyranitar, Shingo is now a bit paranoid.

Although Shingo was confident that his Pokémon was stronger than Pikachu, who knew what was so special about Ash's Pokémon?

Bray was his trump card as his last ballast.

Although it had just defeated Tyranitar, that Flame Fang attack had seriously damaged its stamina.

On the computer, Scizor's health bar dropped by more than half in an instant. It had just finished a close-range attack and its defense was already weakened. Shingo really didn't want to take any risks.

"It's not a very wise decision. The stamina bar on the computer is just data analyzed by the program."

"No matter how advanced it is, it cannot replace the trainer's judgment."

"As partners, we should pay more attention to the fighting spirit of Pokémon. Bray's fighting spirit is high and he can definitely fight again."

"You're going to discourage Pokémon from battling, you little Gogo."

“Little Wu Wu…” Shin Wu immediately bristled.

"Damn it, how did Ash know my childhood nickname?"

He immediately glared at his father, and Muramasa and the others also turned their faces away guiltily.

"Hmph, I don't need you to teach me how to fight!"

Despite his reluctance to comply with his trainer's orders, Bray obediently returned to his Poké Ball.

Shingo carefully observed the sandstorm on the battlefield. Since Ash had also sent out Tyranitar earlier, the sandstorm on the field was still maintaining considerable power.

"Although the weather is almost over, it's been enough."

"Go, Dragon Head Mole, it's all up to you!"

As Shingo threw a Poké Ball, a Pokémon with a dark brown body, a white face with two red stripes, and several sharp, protruding steel blades growing from its forehead and claws appeared on the battlefield.

Tyranitar is the weather core of Shingo's team, while Scizor is their trump card.

However, the team's absolute offensive force is still this Excadrill, which Shingo managed to persuade his father to bring back from the Unova region after much pleading.

During sandstorms, the speed of the sand-splashing gopher becomes twice as fast as usual.

It boasts incredible speed and impressive attack power, coupled with the STAB Drill, which provides a critical hit bonus.

Turn the Dragon Head Mole into a deadly bullet on the Sandstorm field, easily piercing through all opponents.

Not to mention the tiny Pikachu, which is countered by it.

"A Pokémon like this, found on the roadside, has no chance of defeating my Excadrill!" Shingo revealed a confident smile, much like Vegeta.

As a renowned second-generation League member, his starting point was far higher than that of ordinary trainers.

The computer scan showed that Excadrill's level was even one level higher than Ash's battle-hardened Pikachu.

Shingo believes that Excadrill's straight charge attack will be enough to make Pikachu kneel down.

However, Ash showed no fear in the face of such a formidable opponent. His face was not tense at all, but rather filled with the joy of seeing a Pokémon he had never seen before.

"Get serious, Pikachu."

"Pickup!"

"Dragon-headed groundhog, charge straight in!"

During the sandstorm, Excadrill's speed was increased to the maximum. Its two hard claws and the armor on its head combined to form a ferocious bullet-shaped head with barbs, and it quickly rushed towards Pikachu.

"Pikachu, use Quick Attack to dodge!"

Muscles appeared, and Pikachu immediately began to move its adorable limbs, running wildly across the field.

However, the dragon-headed ground squirrel was able to keep up with it and gradually get closer.

"How can its speed keep up with Pikachu?"

This surprised Ash a bit. Even though Pikachu's speed was affected by the sandstorm on the field, it was still amazing that Excadrill could keep up.

It can be said to be the fastest attack speed that Ash has ever seen.

The silver bullet moved through the sandstorm with ease, finally catching up with Pikachu in a moment and hitting its target instantly.

The powerful impact of the straight charge left a deep scratch on every surface that the dragon-headed excavator passed through.

This attack was incredibly powerful!

"Hahaha, great! Ash, your Pikachu is finished!"

Having defeated two of Ash's Pokémon in a row, Shingo felt that victory was assured.

Pikachu has absolutely no chance of getting back up after being charged straight at it!

But unexpectedly, a wisp of electricity suddenly and miraculously appeared in the yellow sand.

"What!?"

As the sandstorm gradually weakened, the figures of two Pokémon slowly appeared on the field.

In the center of the battlefield, Excadrill maintained its frantically spinning attack posture, while Pikachu stood on its hind legs, bulging out all its muscles to hold its own.

Two tiny, short arms gripped the spinning silver drill tightly, its tip pressed against Pikachu's rock-hard eight-pack abs.

The surrounding audience gasped in surprise.

"Did I hear the sound of metal being drilled?"

Shingo found it even more unbelievable; how could Pikachu, such a fragile creature, still be standing on the field after taking a direct hit from Excadrill?

"Are you kidding me? That's Pikachu from somewhere!"

"So you're too naive. Pikachu launches Excadrill and uses Iron Tail!"

Ash's Pikachu is ten times tougher than a regular Pikachu! Ten times tougher!

Although it did hurt a bit, Pikachu used its powerful steel belly to withstand the fierce attack.

There was not a trace of pain on his face, only an air of effortless confidence.

With a flick of its cute little paw, it instantly knocked the gopher's head off its belly, abruptly interrupting its attack.

It quickly leaped up, its metallic tail easily slicing through the sandstorm, aiming for the head of the dragon-headed exogle.

In an instant, it was sent flying far away.

"Now's the time, Pikachu Quick Attack!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu's calf muscles tensed rapidly, transforming into its devilishly muscular mouse form. It pushed off the ground with both feet, instantly creating two deep craters in the ground.

Its body then shot out rapidly like a missile, and the wind it broke through blew away all the remaining sandstorms around it.

The sandstorm has stopped.

Pikachu caught up with Excadrill, who was still being knocked away, and at this moment, Pikachu was finally able to unleash its full speed.

A stylish drift interception resulted in a close collision with the dragon-headed mole, directly smashing it into a large crater on the field.

"Hold on, Dragon Head Groundhog!"

Unfortunately, no matter how much Shingo shouted, Excadrill couldn't hold on and lost its fighting ability in the pit.

————Clean and lustrous————

Meanwhile, on the distant battlefield, just like Ash who was engaged in fierce combat, the Johto League's army was also locked in a fierce standoff with Team Rocket's forces in the dense forest.

The league is currently in a very favorable position, having already surrounded the Rockets' headquarters; all that's left is the final assault.

"Reporting to Boss Sakaki, we have spotted Champion Wataru and all the Elite Four on the battlefield, including some who have come from the Kanto region."

"Their attack should begin soon..."

The secretary's expression was not good at this moment. After all, even with the help of the Namba Namba 5 Pokémon Enhancement Device and Professor Hirano's Evolution Device, the Team Rocket members on the front line could only barely fight the League Army to a draw.

Now that so many powerful figures have arrived, even if Boss Sakaki possesses champion-level strength, he will not be able to withstand the siege of so many experts.

This time, the Rockets might really be in danger. The thought that they will never find an owner as good as Giovanni again is very frustrating.

The secretary's face immediately scrunched up as she realized she hadn't received her bonus for several months.

Faced with a series of bad news reports from his secretary, Sakaki neither panicked nor flew into a rage.

He simply stood calmly by the window, gazing at the distant horizon, still swirling his wine glass, as if what was happening at that moment had nothing to do with him.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the Rockets will always be here. How's Plan A going?"
