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

"In that case... my second one is this, the Wind Balloon!" After calming herself down, Acerola sent out the adorable-looking Ghost Balloon.

Greninja, Dark Pulse!

Upon seeing its opponent enter the field, Greninja raised its hand and unleashed a Dark Wave!

"Windball, shrink quickly! Then counterattack with the silver whirlwind!" Acerola's response was also very quick. She immediately commanded Windball to shrink its body several times, narrowly dodging the attack while spinning its body and blowing out a series of silver light bands.

"Water Shuriken!" But Ash was one step ahead. Greninja rushed forward at lightning speed, simultaneously raising its hand and throwing out five spinning blades.

Two of the water shuriken easily sliced ​​through the silver whirlwind, while the remaining three continued their attack on the Wind Ball's body!

"Wind-following ball, get out of the way!"

"If you can't dodge, use Shadow Clone Technique!"

"What..." Acerola was startled. Relying on the increased evasion brought by shrinking, the Wind Ball did indeed dodge the shuriken attack by moving its body.

However, Greninja immediately split into three clones behind it, and after catching the shuriken, it used close combat to stab the blade into the body of the Wind Ball!

Bang! *3

As the shadow clone exploded, the main body of the ninja frog also unleashed a dark wave once again, and the Wind Ball was now unavoidable!

"Windball, hold on, use the Deception Space!"

"Hmm?" Ash was a little surprised by Acerola's choice. It seems that Dartball is not only meant to be a relay runner.

Greninja, Water Shuriken!

Trick Room allows slower Pokémon to strike first, but it doesn't affect the priority of moves. Therefore, Greninja's shuriken was still swift, and with its exquisite throwing technique, it drew a dazzling trajectory, immediately sealing off the area around the Tayrule!

"Driftball, take the baton!" Acerola didn't seem to care about dodging either. Driftball was a Pokémon with high stamina, so it wasn't going to be knocked down like that.

As the light of the exchange flashed, Acerola found herself before an anchor covered in rust and clumps of seaweed.

Her third one is a broken steering wheel with the Grass and Ghost attributes!

With the evasion boost from Baton Pass, the speed conversion of Trick Room, and the STAB of Grass, Ghost, and Steel... Acerola is clearly planning to use this tactic to target Greninja with all her might!

"We accept the challenge! Greninja, unleash Shadow Clone Jutsu with all your might!" "Card click!"

At Ash's command, Greninja created no fewer than twenty clones, completely occupying the entire field!

"Having more people won't help! Break the steering wheel, use the spiral ball, and then deliver a powerful lash!!"

With the help of the Deception Space, the Broken Wheel unleashed its destructive power to the extreme. It began to spin rapidly like a top, and at the same time, it used the force of the spin to fling out the seaweed on its body!

hum!

The sound of whips cutting through the air was incessant, and a large number of Greninja clones on the field were immediately cleared out. However, Ash calmly had all the clones throw out Water Shuriken at the same time!

In an instant, countless shurikens flew wildly across the field.

Acerola kept directing Brocken to dodge while trying her best to knock down the shurikens with her brute force vine whip, but she found that Ash's attacks were always one step ahead of hers, making them impossible to defend against.

The broken steering wheel quickly began to pant, its entire body, including the area it was in, was covered in water stains...

"Don't give up! Use your full power in this whipping attack!"

"Now! Use the Freeze Ray!"

click!

As the brute force vine whip lashed out, Greninja suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a powerful ice-type energy. The extremely cold light wave not only instantly froze the ground, but also spread along the water stains that had just been splashed, until it completely froze the body of Broken Wheel!

"It's over, the evil wave!"

boom!

The ice crystals shattered, and the broken rudder helplessly closed its eyes.

"Broken steering wheel, come back first..." Acerola blankly recalled her companion.

She's feeling a bit lost right now, unsure of what to do next.

Ash's full power is too overwhelming. Even with type advantage and tactical coordination, he can still be defeated by his opponent without bloodshed.

"Acerola, calm down." Ash's reminder suddenly came to the girl's ear, "Don't forget your original intention... It's okay to have mental burdens, but don't let them affect your battle!"

"Okay, thank you..." Acerola forced herself to cheer up and sent out her next one, "Snow Fairy, please!"

The snow woman dressed in white is a branch evolution of the female snow child. Although she does not have a super evolution form, she is more versatile.

"Water Shuriken!"

"Use hail!"

Greninja threw out four more shurikens in quick succession, but Froslass immediately changed the weather, and her figure began to appear and disappear due to her Snow Cloak ability.

However, the little AI realized that the shuriken must have hit its target.

"Next, use the Dark Pulse!"

"Snow Witch, blizzard!"

Ash sent Greninja to attack from the spot where the shuriken had collided, but Acerola immediately had Froslass unleash a map-wide attack. The raging blizzard barely tore apart the dark energy, and the remaining snowflakes accurately located Greninja's position.

"That's it! Use the strange light!"

"Cover your eyes and use the freezing ray to create ice goggles!"

Amidst the swirling snow, the two continued their relentless battle. The hidden snow fairy sensed the location of the Greninja and immediately unleashed a strange beam of light capable of causing chaos.

However, Greninja immediately covered its eyes with its tongue and simultaneously built a huge ice wall in front of it, deflecting the strange light elsewhere.

"Use shadow clone!"

Another series of clones spread out, and the Snow Fairy was momentarily flustered, unsure of where to launch her attack.

"Froslass, use Blizzard!" Acerola's response was brilliant. With the help of the hail buff, Froslass unleashed another Blizzard that swept across the entire field, causing heavy losses to Greninja's clones.

"The last one left is the true form! Unleash 100,000 Volts with all your might!" Acerola had already spotted the figure barely holding on behind an ice wall and immediately commanded the Snow Fairy to launch a full-scale attack!

click!

Golden electricity suddenly shot up from somewhere in the icy mist, slicing towards the Greninja in front of it!

"Found it, there it is!" Ash's eyes narrowed. "Greninja, throw the ice block! Then use Water Shuriken!"

"Crack!" Greninja suddenly exerted its strength, kicking the ice wall into the air, and then followed closely behind, rushing forward until it leaped into the air.

The electric current shattered into pieces upon impact with the ice wall, but with the Snow Fairy's full power, it eventually pierced through the ice wall in one strike!

However, Greninja had closed in close enough distance. Suddenly, it swung its hand, and the shuriken wrapped in cold air was instantly frozen, turning into an even sharper ice blade that slashed down fiercely!

The dazzling cold light even sliced ​​through the lightning, striking the snow fairy heavily!

"Ugh!" The Snow Fairy let out a miserable cry, no longer able to continue unleashing her ultimate attack.

Greninja had already raised its paw and aimed it at it...

"Evil Wave!" "Knock!"

The pitch-black energy surged past, completely engulfing the Snow Fairy's body.

When the snowstorm subsided, Greninja remained standing calmly, while Froslass lay unconscious on the ground.

"The Snow Fairy is unable to fight; the match is now in halftime!"

Chapter 836 Ultimate Showdown, Moving Towards Greater Strength!

A three-game winning streak in the first half caused an uproar among the crowd.

Almost everyone was certain that Ash would win, but almost no one expected him to fight so fiercely.

Compared to the previous round of 16 match, he really let Gladio off the hook.

However, compared to the audience's sentiments, Acerola on the field seemed undecided.

She didn't even return to the waiting area, but stood blankly at the edge of the arena, looking at the traces of the battle that had just taken place.

Ash is too strong...

Acerola once again experienced the helplessness of being on the verge of losing her will to fight.

(Did I hit too hard?) Xiaozhi's voice rang in her ears again. Unlike the previous apology, this time it was a voice that only she could hear.

(No... it's because I'm too weak.) Acerola shook her head in frustration.

Even though I was prepared to lose, being beaten like this is really upsetting...

But she had no right to blame Xiaozhi, since it was her own choice.

And Xiao Zhi really did a great job, constantly encouraging and guiding her during the competition...

(I've found out some information about the Alora royal family.)

"What did you say... um." Acerola couldn't help but scream, and quickly covered her mouth to avoid attracting attention.

(That's information Xiao Lan gathered for me. I can tell you it, on the condition that... in the upcoming battle, don't overthink things, just focus on defeating me completely and give it your all!)

"I...Acerola understands!"

This was thanks to Ash's encouragement, but Acerola was indeed very concerned about those messages.

She rubbed her cheeks vigorously, and her bright eyes regained their previous confidence!
