Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

Deep inside the cave, two unfortunate souls were screaming incessantly.

When they fell down, instead of retreating together with the others when they were attacked by Kabutops and Omanyptia, they ran inwards in a panic, only to encounter an even more terrifying predator!

At this moment, the ferocious beast was pinning down a pair of unfortunate prey with its two powerful claws, greedily pondering which one to eat first.

These two fat, big-eared creatures seem to be a species called 'human,' but they are different from what it remembers... The 'humans' in its memory should all be thin and tall, barely clothed.

Even so, people were always in high demand back then, and it was usually very difficult to hunt them successfully.

What's more, these two prey were so fresh and juicy, much more delicious than those 'stockpiled food' covered in shells and crustaceans!

"Roar..." The ferocious beast roared impatiently. With such a delicious meal in front of it, it was too lazy to make a choice anymore!

Thick saliva dripped from between the fangs, accompanied by the aura of death from tens of thousands of years ago…

"Pikachu, Lightning Speed!"

Just as it was about to bite, a streak of light suddenly flew over swiftly and struck its chin squarely!

The speed was so fast that it couldn't react immediately, and the force was so strong that its head was buzzing!

"Alakazam, save us!" Just as it was seeing stars, another Pokémon with extremely high intelligence immediately released its spiritual power and snatched the food from the dragon's mouth!

"That's... a real fossil pterosaur?"

Looking at the ferocious beast shaking its head in a fit of rage, Xiao Mao unconsciously swallowed. He really wanted to revive this overlord of the skies using the Secret Amber, but he never expected that the real fossil pterosaur would be so ferocious...

It will even feed on humans!

"However, Pikachu seems to be even stronger now..." Shigeru glanced at Pikachu, whose body was crackling with electricity. The speed Pikachu had just unleashed seemed to be something even his Arcanine couldn't keep up with...

"That move is still being perfected. Although it can be used, the acceleration requires preparation time," Ash explained casually.

Lightning Speed... This is, of course, the new name he gave to his partner's move. As mentioned before, Ash doesn't like the AABC naming convention.

Perhaps because Pikachu's moves were developed based on Quick Attack, the speed-based priority of this move can never reach its limit immediately; it needs to undergo a period of electric acceleration first.

Pikachu had been sprinting at full speed as it passed through the tunnel, which allowed it to successfully unleash its special move at the last second.

However, there are still some limitations in its use, but Ash believes in Pikachu!

It has slowly figured out the way, and as long as it continues to work on this, it will eventually be able to fully understand and achieve true lightning speed!

"Roar!!" The fossil pterosaur finally recovered from the shock, but found that its prey had vanished. It then charged furiously at the uninvited guest in front of it!

"Woo!!"

But a thunderous roar suddenly rang out, and a red light flew out from the Poké Ball on Ash's waist, then immediately transformed into a giant dragon soaring into the sky and crashing into the invading enemy!

It's Charmeleon's Dragon Charge!

"Roar?!" The sudden attack startled the fossil pterosaur. It flapped its wings forcefully and barely managed to dodge the opponent's powerful attack.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and the fossil ape-dragon felt a familiar, ancient pressure emanating from this dragon beast that was a head taller than itself!

Although it remained hidden, the fossil aerodramus couldn't be wrong... that was definitely a power that only the strongest could possess in its own era!

"Electric Cannon Glow!" "Luca!"

Another powerful energy beam struck the fossil pterosaur, which was stunned in mid-air, hitting its head again. It tumbled and fell back onto the platform it had been on before.

Having been shot in the head twice in a short period of time, if it weren't for the characteristics of its stone head, the fossil pterosaur's brain would probably have been turned into mush!

At this moment, it was not only still shaken, but its pupils had also shrunk to dangerous needle-like sizes!

The newly appeared... no, all four magical beasts that just made their move, along with the 'person' guarding the center, could even instill an insurmountable fear in me!

And that is indeed the case. If it were to be unleashed at full power without any rules, Pikachu, Lucario, and Alakazam would definitely be the three strongest Pokémon in Ash's possession, because they could fully connect with Ash's power!

Of course, this is somewhat unfair to Charmeleon, but all the powers that are compatible with it are still in the process of being developed.

Even so, Charmeleon has firmly secured its position as the second strongest after Pikachu through its own efforts, and has never fallen further behind!

"Fossil Aerodactyl..." During the standoff between the two sides, Ash kept observing this ancient beast.

After a while, he suddenly grinned and turned to his best friend: "Mao, didn't you just say you wanted to use the Secret Amber to revive the fossil pterosaur? Now that the real thing is right in front of you, why don't you try to subdue it?"

"What?!" Xiao Mao was stunned, as if struck by lightning. "I... tamed it?!"

"Yeah, this guy's not exactly well-behaved. If we leave him alone, he might cause a huge mess."

Ash casually pointed around, and Gary and the others also saw the shells and clamshells scattered all over the ground...

This fossil aeroda might have awakened before the Great Fool Valley was excavated. Trapped underground and unable to escape, it could only feed on other fossil Pokémon.

Therefore, it's not that Ash and his friends only saw eight fossil Pokémon, but that after so much time, they were eaten by Aerodactyl and only eight remained!

And judging from its posture just now, it clearly wanted to eat people... It might have actually eaten people in ancient times!

If this ferocious creature is left unchecked, it will eventually fly out of Big Fool Valley, and the surrounding towns will definitely suffer!

"I understand the logic... but why was it me who subdued it?" Xiao Mao asked, puzzled. "You were the one who saved it, and you were the one who fought it just now, but in the end you're giving me the chance?"

"There's no question of giving it up or not. I'm just not interested in it." Ash waved his hand dismissively. "If you don't want to catch it either, then find a way to seal it away so it won't cause any more trouble."

This fossil pterosaur was very powerful; it was born tens of thousands of years ago and fought fiercely in the ancient era where the strong preyed on the weak.

If he can regain his form, he might just advance to the championship, or even higher...

But so what?

If Ash had come alone today, he might have really considered getting another handheld weapon.

But now that he knows about Shigeru's desire for the secret amber, things are a different story.

They grew up together since they were little, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they shared the same parents. How could Xiaozhi possibly be concerned about such a small gain or loss with him?

"Ash... Alright, just watch how I catch it! Blastoise!!"

Knowing that Xiaozhi had made up his mind, Xiaomao simply stopped making excuses, otherwise he would be too pretentious!

As the fully-formed giant tortoise landed with a thud, the two cannons immediately locked onto the target ahead, and the battle to capture it was about to begin!

Chapter 146 Subjugation and Harvest

"Blastoise, spray water!"

"Roar!!"

The battle began without warning. Under Gary's command, Blastoise immediately spewed out a torrent of water, sweeping towards the Aerodactyl!

This action undoubtedly enraged the ancient beast, which suddenly spread its wings, roared and pounced down, sweeping the Blastoise through the water curtain and knocking it to the ground!

"Blastoise... Damn it!" Shigeru broke out in a cold sweat. He seemed a bit hesitant and unable to fully concentrate on the battle, which is why he suffered a setback right from the start.

If Blastoise's stamina is low, its Water Spray move will have a hard time dealing high power.

"Gary, just go for it! Don't worry about it escaping, and don't worry about it collapsing here!" But just then, Ash and Alakazam released their psychic powers, completely enveloping the entire underground space.

Meanwhile, Pikachu, Charmeleon, and Lucario also rushed to three corners to stand ready!

Ash knew exactly what his best friend was worried about, so he naturally helped him stabilize the entire battlefield to ensure that Gary could fight without any worries!

"Ash... Thanks! Blastoise, use Rock Tomb!" Sure enough, with Ash back in the fight, Gary had no more hesitation, and Blastoise's attacks became much more aggressive and powerful!

With its powerful hands, it lifted huge rocks and threw them at the fossil pterosaur like cannonballs, trying to slow down its speed. At the same time, Shigeru commanded it to keep turning at high speed, using its hard carapace to fight against the fossil pterosaur's sharp teeth and claws!

After several rounds of fighting, Blastoise was quickly rendered breathless, while Aerodactyl also lost agility, and a light frost appeared on its body!

"Ice Wind? So that's the purpose of the high-speed spin!" Blue suddenly realized that the reason why Gary had Blastoise and Aerodactyl fought head-on was to ensure that Ice Wind could hit at close range, thereby completely blocking Aerodactyl's high speed!

"Now! Water Cannon!!" Seizing the moment when the Aerodactyl paused in mid-air, Gary immediately ordered Blastoise to unleash a full-force attack!

"Kame!!" The extremely compressed water flow, like a cannonball, struck the fossil pterosaur squarely in the chest, even blasting it directly into the rock wall high above!

"Slow down first to ensure a hit, then use the Torrent effect to increase damage... a pretty good tactic." Xiao Zhi, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but secretly praise it.

Gary and Blastoise are indeed exceptionally skilled. With such a performance, Ash doesn't need to worry about the outcome of this catching battle.

This fossil aeroda is very powerful; when it attacks fiercely, the power it unleashes can even approach the level of an Elite Four member… but it is no match for Gary and Blastoise!

Because it didn't meet a good trainer!

When evaluating wild Pokémon, Elite, Elite Four, and even Champion are only indicators of their strength or speed, and do not represent their true combat power level.

Elite-level wild Pokémon and Elite-level trainers and their main Pokémon are two different concepts.

Take this fossil pterosaur, for example. Even if it lived for tens of thousands of years, how much combat experience could it have accumulated?

Could it be that every time it hunts, it has to devise a tactic in advance, learn the opponent's special move, and then enhance it?

If you dawdle like that, the prey will have already disappeared. Decisive action and brute force are the only way to win!

Besides its immense strength, its only real skill is probably knowing where to open the shells of Kabutops and Omanyte without getting hurt...

So, don't overhype how powerful Pokémon's wildness is. In the same level and number of Pokémon, if the trainer is even remotely competent, wild Pokémon will be easily defeated.

Even now, even if Gary and Blastoise aren't at the Elite Four level, they'd be more than capable of dealing with this Aerodactyl!

"Roar... Roar!!" Caught off guard and severely injured, the fossil pterosaur became extremely angry. It roared and broke free from the rock wall, swooping down on the Blastoise without any regard for its surroundings!

A massive shock!!

"Hmph, this is what I've been waiting for!" Shigeru's eyes lit up at that moment. He stared intently at the approaching Aerodactyl and pulled out a Poké Ball at the last second!

Blastoise, come back!
