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

"Well done!!" Ash shouted excitedly.

With a score of 3-0 and the defeat of Goodra, Ash finally felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.

As the battle entered the middle stage, he should have used some of his preferred tactics, but this herbivorous and wildly popular Goodon was a huge threat.

Thanks to Dragonite for clearing the obstacles for its companions…

"Next up, Monster Jaw Dragon!" Karuno pulled out the fifth one, another Kalos fossil with the Rock Dragon attribute.

A beautiful woman and a Tyrannosaurus Rex: an unexpected twist.

"Defog! Dragon Star Cluster!"

"Monsterjaw Dragon, use Stone Attack to jump up! Then use Crunch!"

Faced with the sudden hurricane and the seemingly insignificant meteor, Tyranitar neither dodged nor avoided it. Instead, it created a series of stepped stone pillars on the field, and then suddenly took off with its big feet, leaping forward and biting a Dragonite, which then slammed it to the ground!

"Dragon Claw!" "Smash it at lightning speed!"

Bang!

It was another all-out clash. The Tyranitar shook its numb claws, while the Dragonite rolled around a few times before getting up, swaying precariously.

"Dragonite, use Sunny Day," Ash gave the final command.

"Whoosh~" Dragonite sent a fireball into the air, and that was it, it had successfully made its way out.

"Next up, Venusaur!" Replacing Dragonite is the new lord of Kanto's Mysterious Garden!

"Monsterjaw Dragon, Stone Attack!"

"Grow!"

Knowing the ferocity of Venusaur in sunny weather, Diantha immediately commanded Tyranitar to launch a full-scale attack. However, although the stone pillars it created pierced Venusaur, the Venusaur remained unmoved.

Double attack +2.

"Use Earthquake at full power!" Seeing that Stoneblade was almost there, Tyranitar began to rapidly approach Venusaur, continuously generating shockwaves as it ran!

"Keep growing!" Venusaur still ignored it, determined to achieve an explosive boost before the sunny day ended!

Double attack +4!

"Don't let it succeed, crush it with your teeth!"

"Powerful lash!"

The Tyranitar finally arrived in front of Venusaur, but before it could unleash the power of its Jaws, it was stopped in place by a powerful vine whip.

"Monsterjaw Dragon, don't retreat! Use your claws!" Karuno knew that keeping the distance would only make them a sitting duck, allowing Monsterjaw Dragon to keep charging.

"One more powerful lash... huh?" Venusaur lashed out its thick vines again, but Tyranitar caught them firmly with its claws. Its gaping maw was about to strike Venusaur...

"Succeeded..."

"The power of the earth!"

Boom!

Karuno's joyful expression froze on her face. Suddenly, a volcanic eruption of energy burst from beneath the Tyrannosaurus Rex's feet. It could only helplessly watch as its massive body was flung into the air, then whipped across the face, and that was the end of it...

“That Pokémon…” Diantha’s expression turned serious. After Ash used his power-up strategy, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse!

That Venusaur was like the most impregnable fortress; it didn't move an inch from the moment it appeared, and actually defeated Tyranitar just by standing still!

"Well done!" Ash nodded in satisfaction. This praise was not only for Venusaur, but also for all the partners who had fought hard.

Because of Gengar's nightmare, Gooddra was easily removed, freeing Venusaur from facing the greatest threat.

Thanks to Dragonite, it not only discovered Tyranitar's three movesets and lowered the opponent's evasion, but also set the best weather before leaving the field!

This is the difference between Ash and Diantha, or most so-called strong individuals, in terms of teamwork.

Gardevoir in Diantha is an ace, but also a troubleshooter. When faced with opponents that are difficult to defeat, Gardevoir has to repeatedly enter the fray.

Each of Ash's six companions could be an ace, and also a solid support for his teammates!

Chapter 681 VS Karuno, Final Battle, Before Breakthrough!

"Now that things have come to this, we can only rely on you... Hawkman!"

After Tyranitar left the field, Diantha brought out the last Pokémon besides Gardevoir, a Fighting/Flying type, Brachydios.

Ash knows this Pokémon very well. Ash himself caught one in the anime, and now the two Fighting girls he's close to each have one.

Korni, who was watching the game, had her eyes wide open, afraid of missing any detail.

"Venusaur, grow!" Taking advantage of the opponent's break, Ash once again chose to boost his stats.

Not every wrestler is like Ash who likes to stand still and take damage. Venusaur would probably have very few chances to attack against it.

Therefore, it's better to focus on improving your skills and aiming for maximum output in a single attack!

"Hawkman, Sword Dance!" Karuno's Hawkman leaped into the air, completing its enhancement in mid-air and assuming a gliding stance before unleashing its ultimate technique!

"Flying under heavy pressure!"

"Powerful lash!"

Hawkman used his signature move, Aerial Descent, while Venusaur unleashed its full power with Superpower Whip. The two attacks clashed head-on, creating a deafening roar!

Immediately afterwards, the exhausted muscular eagle was pulled back by a vine whip.

"Looks like that's the only option... Hawkman, use Sword Dance!"

"Use a powerful whip!"

"Dodge it if you can!" Facing the frenzied whip strikes, the wrestling eagle man dodged alertly and finally activated his second enhancement after suffering some scratches.

"Go all out! Use the stunt performers!" "Hoo-cha!!"

Suddenly, the Wrestler shuddered, his aura surged significantly, and his speed increased dramatically!

"Use Powerful Whip Strike to defend immediately!"

Bang! !

Ash sensed something was wrong and immediately ordered Venusaur to defend with all its might. At this moment, the Wyvern was like a scarlet sword, ruthlessly cutting through all the vines and sending Venusaur sliding backward!

After finally regaining its footing, Venusaur was already glowing with a lush aura!

"Lightly equipped with gems...it's really powerful." Ash's worries came true. Diantha's Hawkman was indeed a classic example of a lightly equipped, explosive attack.

Pokémon with the Lightweight ability will have their Speed ​​doubled when they lose an item; Gems are one-time use items that can increase the power of a move of the corresponding type by 30% for the current turn.

Another unique aspect is that if you use a juggling move, the effects of the flying gem and the move's doubled power will both take effect.

Combined with the sword dance of the wrestling eagle, it naturally displays the sharpness to cut through everything.

This combination is impossible to achieve in the games, since the sixth generation of games only had a regular gem... but now it's in the real Pokémon world.

Gems can be found in many places, and unlike in games they are not one-time use items. They are only temporarily invalidated after being used in a battle, which is equivalent to not having the item.

After a short recharge after the war, it can be reused again.

That makes more sense, doesn't it? Otherwise, even if someone's family is incredibly wealthy, they couldn't afford to cause such a mess.

"Bana..." Venusaur shook its head vigorously and struggled to sit up, staring intently at the long scratches on the ground in front of it.

It was broken once again, remaining as immovable as a mountain...

But it doesn't matter anymore.

That wrestling eagle has lost its strongest burst of power; its only remaining strength is its lightly equipped, high-speed capability.

Even if I stop here, my companions will definitely be able to defeat it!

But... I can still contribute my last bit of strength!

"Bana!!" Before Ash could give the command, Venusaur sprayed purple venom that covered the entire area!

The deadly poison surges like waves, and no matter how fast the Wrestler Hawkman is, as long as he is in the ring, he cannot escape the fate of being infected by the poison!

"What?!" Karuno exclaimed in surprise.

Even the Hawkman is finished... She had to admit that fact.

To get rid of the deadly poison, the Wrestling Hawkman can only sleep... but if it stops, it will be instantly killed by its opponent!

As for replacing it with a freezer, Karuno really doesn't dare to now.

Venusaur was so weak that it couldn't even lift its head, yet it still exuded an astonishing aura that made Diantha extremely wary.

Replacing it rashly will inevitably result in losing all of Hawkman's enhancements, and Gardevoir might also be hit by Toxic!

At that point, I'll truly be powerless to reverse the situation...

“That is…” Diantha rubbed her eyes in surprise. She felt like she was next to Ash and saw many Pokémon phantoms.

So, I'm not fighting against a person or a Pokémon, am I...?

"Hawkman, use Sword Dance!" Knowing she had no way out, Karuno unleashed her final power-up!

"Venusaur, come back." Ash recalled Venusaur at that moment.

Ash happens to have a melee fighter master like Eagle Viper to deal with a trapped beast that only knows how to get close!
