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

"Let's begin! Ash-sama and Diantha's all-out battle! Substitutions are allowed during the match!" Ma Xiu signaled to both sides. "Based on the draw, Ash-sama will go first!"

"Go, Dragonite!" Ash had already decided on his strategy: Huggies would be the vanguard in this battle!

"Ice Dragon, step gracefully onto the battlefield!" Diantha's side was quite targeted, bringing out one of the local fossil Pokémon.

A colossal yet elegant ice dragon, whose appearances are always accompanied by the aurora borealis; it possesses both beauty and power…

Of course, this discussion is only within the scope of the game, since the rock and ice element is really weak.

If the user is like Karuno, then you absolutely cannot let your guard down.

"Game start!"

"Kuailong, great speed!"

"Ice and Snow Dragon, high note... What?!"

Bang!

As soon as Ma Xiu announced the start of the battle, Dragonite immediately unleashed its maximum speed, leaving a trail of afterimages as it crashed headfirst into the Ice Dragon.

Almost at the same time Ash gave the command, the Ice Dragon was severely injured and involuntarily slid backward several meters!

However, it was not to be outdone and let out a sharp cry, the huge sound wave carrying an astonishing chill that quickly spread throughout the entire battlefield.

But it was just one step too late; Dragonite had already taken to the air again and completely dodged the attack.

This is the actual effect of 2.5 times the speed of sound in combat; it's almost impossible for the opponent to react!

"Ugh...it's so cold." Korni, standing on the sidelines, unconsciously hugged her shoulders.

"This is the effect of the Frozen Skin property," Nanami explained. "The Ice Dragon's high-pitched attack has been converted to ice-type. Its power is so great that even the dissipated energy makes us feel cold."

"But Ash's Dragonite completely dodged it!" Serena also crossed her arms, but with a proud smile on her face.

She knew exactly how fast Dragonite was!

"Ice Dragon, Stealth Rock!" Although surprised that Dragonite could be faster than the speed of sound, Diantha remained calm and steadily had Ice Dragon set up Stealth Rock.

"Dragon Meteor Shower!" Ash, equally wary of the high-pitched sound, signaled Dragonite to create distance and unleashed a barrage of meteors that crashed down across the entire field!

"Ice Dragon, dodge gracefully... then retaliate with a high-pitched sound!" Karuno smiled confidently as the Ice Dragon nimbly glided through the arena like an ice skater, easily dodging the attacks of meteorites.

"How did it do that?" Serena asked incredulously.

"It's ice!" Korni immediately noticed the clue. "The Ice Dragon is releasing cold air to freeze the ground in order to improve its mobility."

Indeed, on the frozen ground, the giant ice dragon resembled a graceful ballerina.

Although Dragonite's Draco Meteor Shower is incredibly powerful, it's difficult to hit its mark; and the craters it creates are immediately filled with cold air, ensuring that they don't hinder the Ice Dragon's movements.

"I have a plan... Dragonite, keep using Draco Meteor!" Ash seemed determined to unleash his ultimate move, and Dragonite, sacrificing its Special Attack, summoned another barrage of meteors.

"Ice Dragon, dodge as before..."

"Use the defogger! Then control the direction of the dragon star cluster!" "Whoosh!"

Just as the Ice Giant was making its usual maneuver, Dragonite suddenly created a hurricane with its wings, which not only blew away the pitons on the ground, but also reduced the Ice Giant's evasion.

At the same time, the previously scattered meteors suddenly converged, transforming into an even more dazzling comet that hurtled towards the unavoidable ice and snow dragon!

"Hang in there, then clap your hands!" "Woo!"

As expected of a future champion, Karuno made a decisive move, directing her partner to withstand the damage and even managed to launch a counterattack during the opening!

For the next three rounds, Dragonite will only be able to use Clear Fog, and Diantha is ready for a furious attack...

"Dragonite, come back!"

But just then, a red light pulled the Dragonite back into the ball.

"Did you take it back...?" Karuno's tense expression relaxed slightly, but there was a hint of regret in her eyes.

Ash is being far too cautious.

Although Dragonite was forced back, it did not suffer any real damage. On the contrary, it was able to use the opportunity of returning the ball to pull back its special attack.

When it reappears, I'll have to be wary of that ubiquitous supersonic speed again.

"Ash... he actually recalled it first?" Serena couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Unlike previous tactical substitutions, this is probably the first time that Ash's starting partner has been forced to be replaced by the opponent!

"This shows that Diantha is really strong... But it's okay, Ash will definitely win in the end!" Nanami comforted him confidently.

She believed that Ash would win.

And just like before, it will be a perfect victory!

"Ice Dragon, Stealth Rock!" The battle continued, and Diantha dared not relax, taking advantage of the break when Ash switched to another character to rearrange the field.

"Dalno is indeed a tough opponent... I'm counting on you now, Blastoise, make a high-speed U-turn and get into the fray!"

Ash flicked his wrist and threw out a second Ultra Ball, and Blastoise charged into the field with a violent spin!

Although it withstood the barrage of pitons immediately, it also swept away the annoying pitons.

"Use high notes!" "Stop, then continue high-speed rotation!"

Diantha cautiously launched an attack, but Blastoise suddenly stopped moving forward and, after minimizing the damage from the sonic waves, accelerated again and charged towards the Ice Dragon!

With the speed boost from the second high-speed spin, it practically transformed into a spinning battle top, arriving at the Ice and Snow Dragon in the blink of an eye.

"Use freeze-drying!" A glint flashed in Karuno's eyes; she had been anticipating this situation!

Ice and Snow Dragons are at a significant disadvantage against water-type enemies, but Freeze-drying can counter them!

In an instant, an extremely cold aura condensed in front of the ice dragon, causing massive damage to the Blastoise, which couldn't stop its charge.

"very good…"

"Use the gas-gathering bomb!"

Diantha's confident smile froze on her face. She hadn't expected Blastoise to charge straight at her with its body covered in ice shards, and even deliver a point-blank, four-times special attack to the Ice Dragon from inside its shell!

After a violent roar, the ice dragon was immediately covered in wounds and could not even stand up.

"No! Come back quickly..."

"Use the water cannons!"

hum!

A towering curtain of water suddenly swept in, and a huge vortex rising from the ground simultaneously enveloped the bodies of the two Pokémon and completely blocked the beams from the Poké Ball.

When everything had settled, the ice dragon was already lying on the ground, its eyes swirling in circles…

Blastoise was kneeling, breathing slightly, marking its first time peeking out of its shell since its debut.

Previously, Dragonite was forced to switch out, but now Blastoise has made a strong comeback, and Ash has finally turned the tide of the battle, also taking care of the troublesome disruptor!

Diantha was astonished; Ash's Blastoise was both tough and powerful!

However, after launching such an attack, it should be unable to move for the time being...

"Ice Dragon... Sorry! Pumpkin Monster, go get the seed bomb!"

Before she could comfort the Ice Dragon, Diantha apologized to her partner and immediately replaced her with a normal-sized Ghost Pumpkin, who then unleashed a giant seed at Blastoise without a word!

There are four sizes of Pumpkin Monster. The larger the size, the higher the strength and attack power, but the lower the speed.

Diantha is relatively well-rounded, but if Blastoise were to unleash a powerful Grass-type move, it would definitely feel a lot of pain.

However, she ultimately underestimated Blastoise's abilities.

"Dodge the attack, use Dark Pulse!" "Kami!"

"Not good! Quickly use the stealth attack to dodge!"

Just as the giant seed was about to hit, Blastoise suddenly lunged forward, using one hand to brace itself and perform a forward roll, while simultaneously swinging its cannon and firing a rapid-fire shot!

This attack came so suddenly that Karuno had no choice but to have the Pumpkin Monster jump into another dimension, which narrowly saved her from her opponent's counterattack.

After that, the battlefield gradually quieted down, and the two Pokémon, one in the light and one in the shadows, began a tense standoff...

Chapter 679 VS Karuno, the party is over!

Diantha (Ash) is really tough to deal with... This is the common thought of both sides at this moment.

Diana is the first person to date who can match Ash in terms of tactical command, and he dares not relax for a second in this battle.

To be fair, the quality of her weapon isn't that high, at least not as good as Sinnoh's Cabbage-pult.

As for Karuno, she was so nervous that she didn't even dare to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Both of them were fast-paced attacks, which made Ash's strategy quite unfavorable to her.

Moreover, they were all well-trained and had comprehensive movesets. Even though they had the advantage in attributes and strength, Diantha was still walking on thin ice.

However, after this confrontation, Karuno also noticed some problems.

Ash is indeed very wealthy; both Dragonite and Blastoise are carrying items, and the other four should be the same.

This luxurious configuration makes it difficult for people to quickly identify his core combat strength, but it can also become a weakness that can be attacked!

"Keep performing, Pumpkin Man, with Halloween!"
