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

"Buzz!"

"An opportunity! Raichu, use the grass knot!"

The clay giant's eyes suddenly glowed red, but before it could go berserk, Sabrina had Raichu summon a multitude of vines to tightly bind its entire body, and then tripped it to the ground!

"Claydol, stop scaring us, just unleash your power!" Ash calmly gave the command. "Change form, use Thunderbolt!"

"Buzz!" During the time he had been following Ash, Golem had been consciously controlling its energy rampage.

Upon hearing this, it immediately transformed its body, opening the cavity in its abdomen to face the Alola Reciproca, as if turning itself into a giant cannon about to be fired!

"Buzz... Buzz!!" After a brief recharge, a dazzling torrent of energy surged forth!

"Raichu, use your mental interference to defend with all your might!!" Sabrina urged Raichu to retaliate with all his might, but the psychic light barrier that Raichu created shattered layer by layer, and in the end, it was completely engulfed by the beam of light.

"Raichu is unable to fight!"

The referee's announcement brought the match to a temporary close.

"Thank you for your hard work, Raichu."

"Apply the cursed rune, then get some rest, Clay Giant."

Once again, they made substitutions at the same time. Sabrina sent out Slowbro, which had shone brightly against Marien, while Ash sent out Sceptile, which he had caught in Hoenn, to continue to counter the opponent's type advantage.

Ash also showed everyone how he dealt with Slowpoke's yawning onslaught.

"Silly Hippo, yawn!"

"Lizard King, dig a hole and hide!"

"Next, use the abdominal drum!"

"Come out and attack!"

"One more yawn!"

"Use the insightful approach!"

"Keep yawning!"

"Dig another hole and get out of the way!"

"Slowpoke, use Ice Punch to slam the ground!"

"Open up the grass field directly!"

...

After a series of dazzling exchanges, the audience was surprised to find that the Lizard King hadn't yawned even once since he appeared!

Moreover, it took advantage of the hippo's bloated belly to jump out and deliver a powerful counterattack to its opponent.

A yawn is supposed to hit, but it can be defended against with special moves like Protect and Foresight, and can also be dodged with moves that allow you to leave the field.

Flying, digging, diving, or even stalking attacks—all of these are possible.

To be fair, Sabrina's response was remarkably quick. After Ash revealed his Dig move, she already knew to use Belly Drum and Ice Punch to cause the field to shake during her next attack.

However, because Sceptile is incredibly fast, Ash managed to activate Grassy Terrain underground in time.

With the support of the field effects, earthquakes, tremors, and stomp attacks that can cause ground shaking will have their power halved, including the vibrations caused by punching the floor.

In addition, due to the Lizard King's own resistance, the damage it suffered was far less than Sabrina had anticipated.

Moreover, on grassy fields, it can enjoy a 1/16th stamina recovery per round, and can quickly regain its vitality.

Conversely, its counterattack can severely damage the Slowpoke!

"Break through the soil, grass slide!" "Chay!"

The ice on the field shattered instantly. The Lizard King delivered a powerful impact to its opponent from underground. After reappearing, it immediately used the field effects to perform a sliding tackle and kicked the Slowpoke to the ground!

This is also a weakness of the Slowpoke; it is slow, not only in speed but also in reaction time.

Ash was deliberately trying to use fast attacks against Sabrina, and Sceptile, as a high-speed assassin, was naturally best suited for this style of combat, and would become stronger as the battle progressed.

But not the Siberian hippopotamus; no matter how much it is trained, it cannot change the sluggishness caused by the toxins of the giant chlamydos.

In short, high-speed battles, it can coordinate well with Sabrina, but if it fails to break through for a long time, its reaction will become slower and slower, and it may even be unable to keep up with Sabrina's commands!

"Go! Lizard King, keep using the grass slide!"

Ash gave the attack command again, and Sceptile transformed into a green lightning bolt, kicking Slowbro squarely in the chest as it stood up.

"Silly Hippo, yawn!"

"Use your sniping technique to dodge!"

"Keep using Freeze Punch!"

"Just dash past them!"

Another quick exchange ensued, and it was clear that Sabrina's Slowpoke was starting to slack off.

It barely managed to concentrate on unleashing its Freeze Punch, but the Lizard King didn't even need to dig a hole to dodge; a simple step back was enough to avoid the attack, leaving its opponent's empty fist to slam into the ground.

"In that case... use mental interference!"

"Use the insightful approach!"

"Use a yawn... make sure it hits!!"

Sabrina had been struggling with a decision. The Lizard King's preemptive slide tackle was impossible for her to defend against, and she had to use her last skill to find a way to counter it.

Trick Room is the first thing to be negated. The speed of the trade does not affect the priority. As long as Grassy Terrain is still active, Sceptile can always take the initiative.

She could, of course, choose to activate the Super Field and use the Spirit Field to cover up the previous effect... but that would be the same dilemma Alara faced in the last round, wasting skill slots just for this one purpose, is it really necessary?

Therefore, Naz ultimately chose psychological interference.

This is a two-pronged approach; even if her superpowers fail to capture the Lizard King, she still has the chance to control the situation with her yawn!

As expected, the Lizard King used Foresight, and Slowpoke's subsequent yawn was Sabrina's desperate gamble!

"Naza...we're not hiding anymore! Lizard King, Grass Slide, full power attack!" "Chay!!"

The Lizard King roared to the sky, bursting through the yawn bubble without a care, and kicked Slowpoke hard!

It used all its strength in this attack, finally defeating the Slowpoke before drowsiness could overwhelm it!

Chapter 848 Carlos, Galar, Alora: The End of Their Journey

The score was 3-0 at halftime, which was not unexpected for anyone... after all, Ash always does this against everyone.

The formula has a 100% win rate, and not a single Pokémon has lost its ability to battle!

This is absolutely Ash's most awesome achievement as a trainer, comparable to his title of Kanto Red Devil... I mean, Kanto Red Devil.

Moreover, this is a combined achievement; apart from Ash Ketchum, no one else in the world can accomplish the second half.

As for the first half, Galar has been promoting Leon in this way.

However, Ash dares to broaden this scope. He doesn't just fight in the official battles; he also never loses in random sparring matches on the roadside, as long as the battles conform to the official rules.

If I remember correctly, when Dan Di was ten years old and just started out, he seemed to have lost to his childhood sweetheart. Only after that did he gain the favor of the president, become a disciple of a famous master, and soar to great heights.

Who truly possesses an invincible status between these two...? This debate is actually meaningless for Ash, but it seems quite meaningful for the Galar authorities.

Sigh, it's just a waste of breath and time. I might as well find an opportunity to actually meet them.

However, Ash can promise not to use Mega Evolution and Z-Moves, but it's unknown whether Leon is willing to leave Galar.

After all, Leon's claim to fame worldwide was achieved by widely distributing invitations to a hundred top fighters to battle him in Galar...

Okay, let's go to Galar to battle~

Closer to home.

At the start of the second half, Sabrina sent out a Shiny Mothra, while Ash sent out Goodra, which he had caught in Kalos.

Goody sacrificed her shell to help Ash build the Origin Ball. Although it hasn't fully grown back yet, her Steel type is still there, giving her a resistance advantage.

At the start, Ash chose to switch from Quiet Dance to Seclusion, causing Sabrina to frown slightly.

Seclusion is Noodle's exclusive special move, but its current effect is only to increase defense by two levels. Her own Moth is mainly focused on special attack, so this enhancement is completely mismatched.

But when Natsumi had Moth use hypnotic powder on her, and Goomy continued her seclusion while dodging, she suddenly realized that the other party seemed to have easily avoided the powder's attack.

"Has the evasion been increased?" Sabrina asked uncertainly.

“Yes, after wearing the Steel Plate, Goodie’s secret move has also changed.” Ash nodded. “In addition to increasing defense, it can also increase evasion at the same time… but the effect is not perfect yet, probably only about 50% chance, so we still need to practice more.”

Just like Ash said, he was actually just giving Goodie a chance to practice so that she could achieve the effect of +2 defense and +1 evasion as soon as possible during her seclusion.

"Sticky Beauty, use Turbid Flow next!"

"Use Quiver Dance to dodge right now!" As soon as Ash made his counterattack, Sabrina knew what he was up to.

Turbid current has a fairly high chance of reducing accuracy, and coupled with Goomel's evasion boost, once the final moth gets hit, it will probably miss for the entire match.

"Use a crawling attack!" However, just as Natsumi was pondering, Goomyel leaped over with her carapace and delivered a heavy blow to the Moth!

The Crawling Attack move is a Bug-type, so it won't seriously injure Moth, but it will lower its Special Attack.

Ash's strategy in this match is to use Goodie's sturdiness to wear down Venomoth.
