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

"No...come back quickly!"

Chapter 199 Xiaoxia's true love is Gyarados!

Xiaoxia's timely return saved the starfish from further attacks.

"I'm sorry, Starmie, it was all my fault for being so careless." Misty apologized to her Pokémon in the Poké Ball, knowing how silly her mistake had been.

Having witnessed a Dragonite battle once, I was subconsciously drawn into that battle mode, focusing intently on defending against Dragonite's electromagnetic waves...

However, Xiaoxia overlooked the guaranteed hit effect of thunder in rainy weather, which is the most classic weather countermeasure against her water attribute, which she is good at!

However, since this Dragonite has already attacked, Misty is not without a way to deal with it.

"I'm counting on you now... Please help me finish this battle, no matter what! Gyarados!"

Xiaoxia has deployed her trump card, which she has never shown before... and it is also her own nightmare!

"Roar!" As the Poké Ball landed, the slender Berserker Beast suddenly let out a roar!

However, this has no effect on Dragonite at all. The Inner Focus ability makes it immune to Intimidate, which is even more useful than the Hidden Ability Multiscale for Dragonite, which is more focused on support.

"Finally appearing..." Ash's eyes lit up. He was also very curious about how well Misty and his favorite Pokémon could synergize.

"Dragonite, use Thunder!"

The terrifying lightning exploded again, striking down directly at Gyarados!

"Ash, I want to thank Dragonite for Rain Dance... Hurricane!"

boom!

A terrifying hurricane suddenly erupted from Gyarados's body, and the equally sure-hit whirlwind and lightning intertwined and clashed in the air, eventually annihilating each other!

"A brilliant response!" Xiao Zhi praised with a smile.

Xiaoxia's strength is far superior to that of her contemporaries in the original work. That move she just used was something she only had during the Sun and Moon era, but she has now figured it out herself.

"It's too early to be excited! Gyarados, use Waterfall to attack!"

"Roar!" Gyarados roared, using the powerful current of water to lift its body and charge fiercely towards the Dragonite in mid-air!

"Dragonite, go! Dragon Charge!"

Boom! !

Two powerful attacks collided fiercely in mid-air, shattering the water column beneath Gyarados and causing Dragonite's body to shudder.

However, neither of them was willing to give up. The two Pokémon with dragon in their names seemed to have been inspired and were determined to overpower each other!

But gradually, Gyarados began to lose its momentum.

While suspended in mid-air, Gyarados lacks a foothold and cannot fly like Dragonite, so it will inevitably fall into a disadvantageous position.

Of course... if it's a Gyarados that can soar through the skies during its Emerald Green form, then that's a different story~

"Gyarados... In that case, use Ice Fang!"

Seeing that Gyarados was about to fall from the sky, Misty immediately had a flash of inspiration and gave a command. Gyarados suddenly raised its head and bit Dragonite's arm!

"Dragonite, use Thunder to break free!"

"Whoa!!" Dragonite's cry of pain instantly turned into a roar of rage. A tremendous amount of lightning flashed across Dragonite's entire shoulder, blasting Gyarados's body apart!

The blinding lightning and sharp ice shards dissipated in the rain. Two Pokémon, both hit by a fourfold super effective attack, faced each other, their bodies covered in wounds.

"Xiaoxia, your Gyarados is really well-trained. My Dragonite and I are having a tough time," Ash said approvingly.

"It's alright, actually..." "Roar!"

"Gyarados, calm down!" Seeing that Gyarados's eyes were bloodshot and it seemed about to go berserk, Misty immediately shouted to stop it, "The battle isn't over yet, you have to listen to my commands now!"

She seemed to have established some authority over Gyarados, which glanced at her with its bloodshot eyes and was indeed no longer as agitated...

But it seems that they have also begun to lose their previous obedience.

"As you can see, it can only barely command the battle now... Once it encounters a powerful opponent, it gets carried away and becomes disobedient," Xiaoxia sighed helplessly.

"Take it slow, things will get better," Ash comforted softly. "Building a bond with a Pokémon is not something that can be done overnight. No trainer can guarantee that they can gain a Pokémon's wholehearted trust within just one year... The stronger the Pokémon, the more time and effort are required to train it."

"Mm." Xia nodded gratefully.

"Then let's continue the battle... Dragonite, use Sunny Day, then come back!"

The battle resumed, but Ash didn't let the exhausted Dragonite continue fighting. Instead, he decisively withdrew the battle after the weather cleared up from rain.

"Roar!" Gyarados roared angrily, seemingly very dissatisfied with its opponent's 'desertion'.

"Sunny Day..." Misty fell into deep thought. The Pokémon Ash had that was compatible with sunny days should be...

"Next up, Venusaur!" In the blink of an eye, the Grass-type starter Pokémon, as solid as a city wall, landed steadily on the field!

"Roar!" "Gyarados, stop!"

Without waiting for Misty's command, Gyarados unleashed a powerful blast of energy.

Unfortunately, in sunny weather, the accuracy of this move was completely off, failing to even touch the flower disc on Venusaur's back.

"Growth!" On the other hand, Ash comfortably snatched the double boost from Sunny Day.

"Roar..." Gyarados let out a suppressed roar, seemingly unable to contain its excitement again.

"Calm down!" Xiaoxia immediately stopped her. "Use Provocation right now!!"

"Roar!" Gyarados slammed its tail on the ground in a fit of rage, but still obediently swung its big head at Venusaur in a mocking manner.

Xiaoxia's order was timely enough, at least preventing Venusaur from further boosting its stats.

For the next three rounds, Venusaur can only use offensive moves.

"Charge now and use Ice Fang!" Xiaoxia chose to launch a strong attack. Although Gyarados is a water-type, it can move around on land without any problems.

Now that its water-type moves have been weakened by both weather and resistances, Ice Fang is the only one we can trust.

"Sunfire!"

hum!

Just as Gyarados pressed forward with all its might, Venusaur suddenly leaned forward and unleashed a powerful beam of light from its flower disc, which struck Gyarados directly in the head!

On a sunny day, the intense sunlight can strike in an instant!

"Roar!" Suddenly struck by a heavy blow, Gyarados was instead aroused to its ferocity. Instead of retreating, it bit Venusaur!

"Continue using Solar Flare!"

"Get out of the way!" Xiaoxia hurriedly reminded him. Gyarados barely managed to raise its head and narrowly avoid the second energy beam attack.

But it didn't notice that Venusaur had quietly extended two vines and suddenly bound its body!

"Powerful lash!"

"Bana!" Venusaur's limbs stomped out cracks on the ground, and its vine whips, carrying a fierce force, suddenly swung, lifting Gyarados's huge body into the air before slamming it directly to the ground!

"Gyarados... never mind, just go all out on the attack." Xiaoxia hesitated for a moment, but then gave up giving up on giving the command.

Gyarados can no longer hear her...

She could only watch as the enraged Gyarados stirred up a stream of water and crashed headfirst into Venusaur, ignoring everything else.

Even so, it ultimately failed to shake Venusaur's dominance.

"Venusaur...out of respect, we must give it our all," Ash commanded in a deep voice. "Strengthen Plant!!"

"Bana!!"

Rumble!

The ultimate Grass-type move was unleashed at this moment. In an instant, countless dense vines rose from the ground and swept wildly over Gyarados's body!

When all the strange phenomena disappeared, Gyarados was already lying on the ground, unconscious...

Chapter 200: The Unexpected Appearance of the Duck God~

"Come back, Gyarados."

Despite how the final battle unfolded, Xiaoxia didn't seem too discouraged.

"I know I'm still too weak and couldn't unleash your full potential. This defeat was all my fault," Xiaoxia sincerely apologized. "Next time, we'll definitely put on a more exciting and stronger battle!"

Well, if Misty hadn't said those words and had instead immediately sent out Starmie to launch a preemptive attack, she would have been quite confident in defeating Venusaur.

Ultimate moves are not ordinary special moves after all. Ash's Venusaur had only been practicing for a short time, so the lag after using a special move was completely unavoidable.

However, no one would think that Xiaoxia's choice to 'delay the opportunity' was wrong.

This was just a formulaic battle to determine the rankings. Gyarados was fighting with all its might for the honor of her as a trainer, and Misty naturally wouldn't covet such an advantage.

"Starfish, I'm begging you one more time!" After regaining her composure, Xiaoxia sent out Starfish once again.

This is just a natural recovery characteristic; it only needs to return the ball once to wash away the previous paralysis.

"Venusaur, grow!" As the opponent took its position, Venusaur, having regained its mobility, seized the opportunity to boost its stats.
