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

"From now on, I need you to master one ultimate move within one night. If you can't do it, just admit defeat!"

“Nidorino!” Nidorino agreed without hesitation.

It's impossible for it to back down; it's never backed down in its entire life!

"Then let's go find Chenglong, and I'll guide you with it."

To be honest, Ash quite likes Nidorino.

Perhaps influenced by this experience, Nidorino's ambition is exceptionally strong, quite unlike those wild Pokémon that are content with a life of ease.

Moreover, as a Pokémon with a hidden ability, its talent is undeniable, and Ash naturally wouldn't mind training it.

So, for the rest of the night, Nidorino practiced his special moves diligently under the guidance of Ash and Lapras, and didn't even sleep.

Its learning ability is indeed extraordinary. It was able to successfully execute the special move that Ash taught it in a very short time, and the rest was just a matter of constantly practicing and refining it.

"Well done, you really are a great guy~" As dawn broke, Ash gave Nidorino a thumbs up with satisfaction.

"Nido~" The little guy smiled shyly and rubbed his nose with his front paws.

A small grove of trees behind it was now emanating an astonishing chill!

"Here, take this with you for now." Ash handed a clump of black mud to Nidorino. "This is Crobat's temporary loan to you. You're going to fight for these Poison-types, so you absolutely can't lose!"

"Nido!" The little guy's face showed a clear sense of mission as he solemnly carried the black sludge with him!

With the help of props and the special moves it had practiced all night, it was now absolutely fearless even when facing an evolved form of the same race that was of a higher level than itself!

...

The next day, the challenge at Yuzu Gym finally began. The group arrived at a battleground located on a cliff overlooking the coast, with Aya and Ash standing guard on either side.

"Who are you planning to battle first?" Ash asked preemptively.

"Of course it's you! I want to prove to Misty that I'm much stronger than you!" Ayi stared intently at Ash from the start. "How about we start with a Poison-type battle?"

"Sure...you can pick one yourself."

Three Ultra Balls fell to the ground at the same time, and with Crobat, Venusaur, and Gengar making a dazzling appearance, A-Yi was completely dumbfounded.

"You... could you be a Poison-type trainer?!" A-Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt like he had walked right into a trap.

It's understandable that he had such doubts. After all, most trainers can only carry six Pokémon, and Ash, besides Pikachu and Lapras, has four Poison-type Pokémon, including Nidorino. It's hard not to think that this is his specialty.

He's really in a dilemma right now, because he has no idea who to choose!

Venusaur is strong and powerful, and Gengar is elusive; they are clearly not easy to deal with. The only remaining Crobat is shrouded in a purple-black mist; even a fool would know that it is not to be trifled with!

"Fine, I'll pick it... Nidorino, please." Ash was too lazy to argue with him and sent out Nidorino as planned. "I know you have a Nidorino, send it out."

"Damn it...Are you looking down on me?!" A-Yi gritted his teeth.

Instead of using a bunch of powerful pets, they insisted on sending out a minor. This is blatant disrespect!

"You were the one who did this dirty thing first," Ash retorted disdainfully. "So I need to show you... your level isn't even good enough to bully a child! Nidorino, use Horn Ram!"

At the start of the battle, Ash commanded Nidorino to launch an attack!

"Hmph, a straightforward attack won't work! Nido, show it what you're made of, dance to the beat!"

A-Yi's men immediately started playing loud music, and Nido also began to dance to the beat, easily dodging the attacks with her movements...

"Use flattery!" But as the two Pokémon passed each other, Nidorino suddenly unleashed its power, throwing its opponent into chaos!

"To think they'd resort to such tricks... Nidoran, use 100,000 volts!"

"Temptation!" It's the same strategy as before against the poachers: first inflict confusion, then lower Special Attack. Even if Nidoran manages to land this attack, the damage won't be too severe.

After stretching for a few more rounds, the black sludge will restore your stamina.

"Damn it... an earthquake!"

"Jump onto it!"

Nidorino made full use of its small size and agility. Just as its opponent's big foot stomped down, it used all four paws to leap onto Nidorino's back, and then, as if by magic, it swung a seductive kick at its opponent's face!

"Well done!" Xiao Zhi couldn't be more satisfied with this performance.

What trainer wouldn't love a Pokémon that's both intelligent and talented?

"Nido, perk up! Use 100,000 Volts to drive it away, then unleash a barrage of kicks!"

"Nidorino, create some distance!"

In a battle, you not only need to pay attention to the situation on the field, but also to the opponent's trainer's condition. As soon as Ash showed his ferocity, he had already given Nidorino the order to retreat, so this Thunderbolt attack was naturally in vain.

As for Nidorino's subsequent series of kicks, due to the confusion effect, they not only failed to hit Nidorino but also slapped Nidorino squarely in the face.

After this series of clashes, Nidoqueen was not only in chaos, but its special attack level also dropped to a level lower than Nidorino's, and it had basically lost its threat.

"A good tactic." Seeing Nidorino easily gain the upper hand, Cynthia, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but nod in approval.

In her opinion, Ash had completely grasped the essence of this battle.

In one-on-one battles like the Yuzu Dojo, where there's no trading rule, fancy offensive moves are completely useless. The key is to build up your opponent's status quo!

It's laughable that Ah Yi, who is clearly the one who made the rules, has such shallow knowledge in this area.

"That's about enough... Let's show off the results of our training, use the Freeze Ray!"

"Nidorino!" Nidorino's eyes widened suddenly, and he opened his mouth to spew out an astonishingly cold, icy light!

It trained all night for this moment!

"Oh no!" Ayi was shocked. Nido couldn't dodge in time, and half of his body turned ice blue!

"Nidorino, run! Keep using Ice Beam!" Ash told Nidorino to continue suppressing the enemy. The little guy started running all over the field, and the Ice Beam he was using seemed to weave a giant ice net!

During this time, it did not forget to continue to restrict the opponent. After the second praise resumed the chaos, it used temptation to directly reduce the opponent's special attack to the lowest level!

"Don't give up! Nidoqueen, use Hyper Beam with all your might!" In a fit of exasperation, A-Yi finally commanded Nidoqueen to unleash what he thought was a powerful attack.

"Don't be afraid of it! Use the Freeze Ray!"

"Nido!!"

hum!

The extremely cold ray suddenly burst forth, far from the evenly matched force that everyone had expected. The icy light easily pierced through the energy of the Destruction Ray, and with one blow, Nidoran was frozen in ice!

The subsequent horn-ramming charge, along with the shattered ice, also drained Nido's remaining strength!

Chapter 283 The Yuzu Island Massacre: Nine Consecutive Defeats!

"I... I actually lost?"

After watching Nido spinning around in circles on the field, A-Yi really started to question his life.

He bullied a minor and ended up getting raped instead; he's really lost face big time this time.

At this moment, not only him, but even his sycophantic followers fell silent.

They had seen Ah Yi lose before, but this was the first time he had lost both the battle and his dignity.

"Brother, cheer up and win back Sister Xia!" Mary was probably the only one in the room who was full of energy, but what this little girl really wanted was just another older sister.

"Well done, Nidorino, that was a great battle!" Ash didn't care about the trivial matter on the other side; he was now approvingly patting Nidorino's forehead.

The little guy really enjoyed Ash's praise. When it was being commanded to battle, it really felt like it was getting stronger.

"Hey, the next battle is an Ice-type battle, right?" Ash woke up Yi, who was in a daze. Lapras also rode the waves and rushed into the arena from below the cliff!

"I want to use a dragon, what will you send?"

"Cloison, we must win!" For his second battle, A-Yi used Cloyster, a Pokémon with Gastly trapped inside its shell. This Pokémon, covered in spikes, looked much fiercer than Lapras...

It possesses a powerful water-spraying attack, said to be rivaled only by Onix.

"Clamshell, use Crack!" As the second battle began, A-Yi was clearly getting impatient and immediately had Clamshell unleash its all-or-nothing enhanced move.

"Lapras, mental interference!" Just as the shell of the Spine Clam was covered with crack-like patterns, an invisible superpower suddenly struck, directly binding its body!

"This... such a powerful superpower, I can't even break free!" A-Yi exclaimed in disbelief.

"That's because Cloyster's Special Defense is terrible." Ash scoffed, "Compared to its Defense, Cloyster's Special Defense is already practically paper-thin, and then you lowered it even lower with Shell Smash. No wonder it couldn't break free from Psychic Barrier!"

"You deliberately made me hatch?!"

"Please... this is called reading first." Xiao Zhi rolled his eyes; he didn't want to argue with A Yi about these tactical things anymore.

Nine out of ten Clamshells will hatch, and they always use the continuous attack ability when hatching... Even the kids in the local preschool know this.

Instead of first reading out a strong buff, are you going to gamble that it's a sapper and then plant spikes as soon as it's on the field?

"Lapras, sing a song." After successfully restraining his opponent, Ash had Lapras sing a melodious song, which quickly put Cloyster to sleep.

Honestly, if this weren't an Ice-type internal battle, Ash would definitely have used Absolute Zero to slam it down... which is also the Ice-type Elite Four's favorite brute-force tactic for instant kills~

"Oh no... Clamshell, get up! Get up now!!" Ah Yi's Clamshell obviously hadn't learned to talk in its sleep, so all he could do was roar.

Ash's approach is much simpler; he can just have Lapras use Surf and Hydro Pump.

This perfectly illustrates an old saying in the Pokémon world: "A great flood can kill Cloyster."

"The outcome should be decided by now, right? Should we have a third match?" Ash asked casually.
