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

"Use Dragon Pulse to rush over!" But Ash didn't give it a chance to make a desperate gamble. Kommo-o released Dragon Pulse at full power diagonally upwards, propelling its body to plummet downwards and crashing headfirst into Magneton!

The power that Magneton had painstakingly gathered was thus dissipated into nothingness.

"Iron Tail!"

Bang!

With a final blow, the Scaled Dragon's long tail lashed down like a whip. Although the effect was far from ideal, it perfectly drained the opponent's remaining strength.

"This... is too amazing!" Junichi was speechless. "How could he find the real body so quickly, even with a shadow clone?"

"Yeah, this is a required course for Kommo-o," Ash casually explained.

The pureblood dragons of Poni Island are able to control Aura to some extent. Although they may not be as proficient as Lucario, they still have no problem locating their opponents in battle.

It can only be said that the scaled dragon's positioning was not precise enough; otherwise, if the second energy-gathering bullet had hit its target perfectly, the battle would have been over long ago.

"As expected, in the end, I can only rely on you... Meganium!" Junichi finally chose the three Grass-type starter Pokémon from Johto, which were also his first Pokémon.

"Morpho... Got it, let's continue." Ash checked on his partner's condition; Morpho was still full of fighting spirit!

"Charge!" Still employing a close-range strategy, the Armored Dragon activated its full speed, rapidly closing in like a phantom!

"I've already figured out a way to counter you! Geranium, use Petal Blizzard!" Junichi shouted confidently, and Geranium immediately summoned a flurry of petals that filled the entire arena.

Since the scaled dragon is agile and difficult to aim at, just don't aim and use area-of-effect attacks across the entire field!

However, Chunyi overlooked one point: the normal output power of the large geranium is simply not enough!

"How about that... What?!" Just as Junichi was about to feel smug, he discovered that the Scaled Dragon had charged right up to the Giant Geranium without dodging or avoiding it, and its hands had already gathered powerful Fighting-type energy!

"Gas-gathering bomb!"

Boom!

The giant geranium was immediately severely injured by the close-range attack... but the scaled dragon's offensive was not over!

"Grab the flower head, use the iron tail!" "Chirp!"

Contrary to its usual behavior, the scaled dragon did not use the impact of the explosion to retreat. Instead, it grabbed the geranium's flower head tightly with one hand, twisted its body, and swung its tail, striking the geranium's neck with all its might!

"Germania...quickly use the vine whip to drive it away!"

"Use Dragon Pulse!"

Chunyi was completely panicked. He commanded the giant geranium to unleash its vine whip with all its might, which did force the scaled dragon back... but the latter simply used the vine whip as a guide and hit the target with another dragon wave!

But that wasn't all. The scaled dragon's hands simultaneously grabbed the giant geranium's vine whip, unleashing the dragon's formidable power and flinging the giant geranium back at them!

"The final nitro booster!"

Unable to move freely in the air, the giant geranium could only endure the energy blasts hitting its body before helplessly plummeting to the ground…

"Giant Geranium is unable to battle! The winner of the match is Ash from Pallet Town!"

Chapter 584 Mighty Chicken, Read First

Chunyi's journey to the Silver Tournament has come to an end.

In the first round of the tournament, he was defeated by Ash's Kommo-o, losing three games in a row, which greatly damaged his morale.

In the very next match, he faced Marina, whom he had a crush on. Given his current low spirits, the outcome was predictable.

Therefore, the situation for Group H became clear.

Ash and Marina both have one win, and the result of their match will determine who can enter the top 16 of the tournament!

"In the third match of Group H, Ash from Pallet Town (Red Team) will face Marina from New Leaf Town (Green Team). Ash will go first!"

The organizing committee of the Silver Conference was quite tactful; knowing that Ash liked red, they kept letting him occupy the red side.

Of course, this is only for differentiation; the order of play is determined by a separate draw.

"Strongchicken, go!" In the second points race, after Kommo-o had a great time, Ash sent out the equally energetic Speedchicken.

"Is this the one... Misdreavus? Please!" Marina's first summon was a 'magical girl', which should be the evolution of the previous Misdreavus.

It seems she knows something about Mighty Chicken.

"Game start!"

"Strong Chicken, Sword Dance!" "Dream Demon, Steal!"

As soon as the referee gave the order, Ash immediately chose to boost his Attack, but Marina seemed to have anticipated this and let Mismagius take away the boost!

"It's alright, keep your distance and continue your sword dance!"

"This... Dream Demon, chase after them and use electromagnetic waves!"

Marina clearly hadn't expected Ash to be so stubborn, daring to use power-up moves repeatedly even though he knew he was being targeted.

However, she was momentarily stunned, and the Dream Demon failed to continuously steal the buff effect from the Power Chicken, ultimately allowing the opponent to succeed with Swords Dance.

Marina had no choice but to have Mismagius press forward immediately, while releasing an arc of electricity to try to restrict its opponent's movements... But in the short time that was delayed, Mighty Chicken had already left its original position and started running around the entire field!

"Speaking of which, electromagnetic waves are a great skill." Ash grinned at this moment, "Combusken, use Mimic!"

"Whoa!" The Mighty Chicken, which was running back and forth looking for an opportunity, suddenly released azure blue arcs of electricity, which instantly wrapped around the body of the Misdreavus!

"Oh no..." Marina's expression immediately tightened.

Mimic is essentially the same as the Flying-type's imitation. Marina never expected that Ash, who mainly focuses on boosting and passing, would have Combusken suddenly pull out such a powerful move!

She has now realized that the Mighty Chicken's speed is gradually increasing, but Mismagius has been caught off guard by the opponent's electromagnetic waves that slow down and paralyze it. From now on, it will probably only be able to eat the opponent's exhaust fumes...

"Swords Dance!" Ash had no intention of going easy on her, nor did he intend to act like a gentleman.

While the Misdreavus was paralyzed and Marina was also distracted, he actually let the Mighty Chicken steal another round of buffs!

"Dreammonia... Oh no!" Marina had intended to use Dreammonia for her own purposes, but due to the paralysis effect, Dreammonia failed to execute its move and could only watch helplessly as Powerpick completed its upgrade!

A powerful chicken with +4 attack and +4 speed, facing its own paralyzing dream monster... Marina truly experienced what Kenta meant by "the more you fight, the more desperate you become."

At this moment, Powercock, relying on its super speed that overwhelms its opponent, kept running around Mismagius.

Like a cat playing with a mouse, Ash didn't intend to attack, seemingly wanting to see Marina's final struggle.

"This is bad..." Marina was in a state of panic, completely unsure how the situation would develop.

According to her understanding, Ash's Combusken evolves from Torchic and is positioned as a pure relay runner.

That's why she had the Dream Demon focus on stealing, in order to prevent the other party from strengthening itself.

Now that she couldn't stop it, she had no choice but to change tactics and try to trade one for one with the strong chicken...

"Mighty Chicken, Focus!" Ash had been keeping a close eye on Marina's situation. When he noticed a slight change in his opponent's expression and realized that she had made some kind of decision, he decisively used his special move first!

“Dream Demon…use Provocation!” Marina’s face fell; she was too late again.

However, this is also good. Although it failed to prevent the opponent from increasing their critical hit rate, at least it blocked the follow-up move.

Next, as long as the Mighty Chicken dares to launch an attack, Mismagius will have a chance to defeat it!

"Phew... There's nothing we can do about being provoked. Let's attack!" Ash sighed softly, making a choice with apparent reluctance. "Mightywing, Flame Kick!"

"Cock-a-doodle-doo!" The Mighty Chicken let out a long, excited crow, and its claws, which were flying, instantly burst into flames.

It leaped into the air and kicked the impaired Dream Demon!

"Please...it has to succeed! Use the 'Shared Fate' technique to crash into it!!"

In response to the trainer's feelings, Mismagius gritted its teeth and leaped into the air. A strange light flew from its eyes, completely enveloping Combusken's body. Then, it actively used its body to meet Combusken's burning claws!

"Strong chicken, get out of its way!"

"what?!"

Marina was completely shocked. She actually saw the Mighty Chicken suddenly spread its arms and spin like a propeller, managing to deflect the flames away before the Dream Demon could crash into it!

Bang!

The two Pokémon collided violently, but even if Mismagius was fragile, it wouldn't lose its ability to battle from a single collision.

Naturally, the effect of the same move also disappeared... Marina could only watch helplessly as the spinning Mighty Chicken swung its other leg and delivered a fierce downward slash to Mismagius!

Boom! !

Sparks flew as the fiery kick, hitting a vital spot, slammed the Dream Demon's body into the ground, creating countless cracks in the arena!

"The Dream Demon has lost its ability to fight!"

“This… how could this be…” Marina stared blankly at the unconscious Dream Demon, completely unable to understand why the Mighty Chicken could retract its attack at that moment.

"To deal with unexpected situations, you always have to leave some room for maneuver when making a move," Ash said calmly. "Besides, I already knew you were going to use Destiny Bond, so of course I couldn't let Combusken actually hit you."

"You... knew all along?" Marina was taken aback.

"When battling, you can't just look at the Pokémon, you also have to pay attention to the opponent's trainer's every move... I noticed that you've been very conflicted ever since Mismagius was hit by the Thunder Wave. You know that Combusken is a Baton Passer, and now that you can't stop it from Baton Passing, you can only force it to attack and then try to trade one for one at the last minute."

Honestly, trying to outsmart Ash and using limited information to devise unpredictable tactics is really not a good choice.

Marina only knew that the strong turkey was the relay runner, but she didn't know that this turkey was actually hot-tempered and had been holding back his strength to run three in a row!

Moreover, it's difficult for ordinary trainers to keep an eye on their Pokémon while also observing the actions of their rival trainers, but Xiaozhi can do it.

It's harder for the average trainer to see through an opponent's intentions and counter them instantly in a very short time, but Ash can do it.
