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

boom!

Before the third wave of missiles arrived, Yuuki chose to place rock spikes on the field.

He had considered adding other buffs, but with Aggron at the lowest health, Togekiss could easily knock him out with a sneeze, so Stealth Rock was the easiest way to succeed.

"Cunning Tengu, it's up to you now!"

"Pokekiss, a conspiracy!"

Once again, Yuuki sent out the same Grass/Dark type as Tetsuya had used before... This might not be a good choice, as all of its attributes are countered by Airplane.

However, when Ash let the plane greedily upgrade, Yuuki revealed his intention.

"Cunning Tengu, self-suggestion!"

boom!

A powerful aura suddenly exploded from the cunning tengu's body. Through self-suggestion, it fully gained the enhanced abilities that Togekiss now possessed!

It has maxed out its attack, defense, and speed, and also has two extra special defense stats!

"Is the burden really that heavy..." Yuuki quickly frowned, realizing that the reinforcement tactics weren't so effective after all.

While combining these abilities into a single Pokémon would undoubtedly increase its power dramatically, it would also place a considerable burden on it.

The cunning tengu was clearly struggling and was already panting heavily at the very beginning.

Recalling Blaziken and Togekiss's completely unaffected actions, Yuuki finally understood just how powerful Ash's Pokémon's basic stats were!

"You cunning tengu, please hold on! Use Sunny Day!"

"Tokiss, instant amnesia!"

Both activated their status moves simultaneously. Yuuki chose to change the weather to boost his speed, while Ash opted for Special Defense.

This choice was probably within Ash's expectations. Wheeling's speed might be on par with Togekiss, but since Togekiss can fly, Wheeling would need to be more agile to fight it.

"Cunning Tengu, use Rock Slide!"

"Get out of the way and then use the wave missile!"

Faced with the massive rock hurtling towards him, Tokiss deftly tumbled and dodged in the air before preparing to condense a wave missile to retaliate.

"Use a surprise attack!"

"Blast them out!"

boom!

A violent explosion swept across the entire field. Although the cunning Tengu had gained the upper hand with a surprise attack, it was unable to shake Togekiss at all and was directly blasted into the air by a wave missile!

"Don't give up, you cunning tengu, use Rock Slide!"

"Wave missile!"

As it plummeted from mid-air, the cunning Tengu, unwilling to give up, threw another rock, but Togekiss had already gathered its energy and blasted down a massive Aura Missile!

The rocks shattered, and the cunning tengu's body was also enveloped and attacked by Fighting-type energy, crashing heavily to the ground!

What's the point of using self-suggestion? If you reinforce both sides to the maximum, it's the same as not reinforcing at all.

Even disregarding these factors, if Tokiss remained stationary, it would still have to fight for a while against the opponent's rockfall and surprise attack, but the cunning Tengu simply couldn't withstand two wave missiles!

"Tokiss, instant amnesia!"

Needless to say, all abilities are maxed out.

"I must break this tactic no matter what! Explosive Monster, I'm counting on you!"

"This one, then let's take over." Ash guessed Yuuki's idea and decided to let Togekiss continue the relay.

Although airplanes can serve as the finish line for the relay, and even have an advantage, it still lacks the visceral, intense excitement of hand-to-hand combat…

"Chai!!" With fists clenched, Sceptile, the ace of the Hoenn story, was ready to go!

"Sound-exploding monster, self-suggestion!" "Roar!!"

The monster controlling the sound waves roared with terrifying fighting spirit, determined to fight its opponent to the death!

"Charge! Absorb Fist!"

"Use sonic blast!"

"See the truth!"

The fierce battle resumed, with neither side giving an inch. Facing the Lizard King's high-speed charge, the Exploding Monster unleashed a terrifying sonic wave from its massive maw!

However, the Lizard King was also exceptionally agile, easily closing in on its opponent in a flash.

"Lizard King, Blade Leaf!"

"Explosive Monster, repay your kindness!"

boom! !

The blade and the heavy punch collided, and the rampaging energy shattered the ground beneath their feet!

Chapter 936 Instant Kill Without a Shadow, Unparalleled Sword Strike!

The earth cracked open, and rubble flew everywhere.

The battle between the two Pokémon, Sceptile and Explosion, was truly a spectacular sight!

However, the audience quickly noticed the difference. After the two retreated, the Explosive Monster was unable to stop its momentum despite its continuous retreat, while the Lizard King had already launched another attack!

"Use Absorption Fist!"

"Explosive Monster, use Return to block it!"

Bang!

Yuuki managed to parry the Explosive Monster's punch, but this attack only made it look more exhausted, and its body began to tremble slightly.

"Don't give up, Explosive Monster! Use Sonic Wave!" Seeing that the Lizard King was still eager to try, Explosive Monster immediately inhaled a large amount of air and unleashed a violent sonic wave along with its roar!

"Cut!" But faced with such a counterattack, the Lizard King simply flashed away from the range of the sonic wave.

Before the Explosive Monster could react, the Lizard King's arm was already on its side.

"Knife leaf!"

puff!

The emerald green blades shot out instantly, slicing through the Explosive Monster's body at an almost imperceptible speed, and knocking it heavily to the ground!

"A popping monster?!" Seeing the obvious slash marks on his partner's face, Yuuki couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

That move was so fast, Yuuki didn't even see the Lizard King swing his sword!

It's almost like...yes, like an assassination, stabbing the enemy when they're completely off guard!

Fortunately, it wasn't hit in a vital spot, otherwise the damage that ignores defense would have killed the Explosive Monster on the spot!

"It's a little off... but it's okay, just aim better next time." Ash encouraged the slightly out-of-breath Sceptile, nodding in satisfaction.

(Just as I expected!) Yuuki's heart skipped a beat. The Lizard King had been aiming for his vitals!

“Yuuki, without anti-boosting measures, it’s impossible to stop Sceptile,” Ash suddenly said to Yuuki. “Your Explosive is indeed very well-trained, able to withstand even this level of boost, but it hasn’t undergone special training, so it won’t last long.”

"Of course I know that... so there's no time to dawdle!" Yuuki's eyes widened suddenly, seemingly intending to finish the battle quickly. "Soundbreaker, use Return!"

The massive sonic behemoth launched a charge, unleashing a powerful punch at the Lizard King!

"Use the Absorption Fist to block!"

Bang!

After a series of powerful punches, the Explosive Monster's attack failed once again.

"Hmm... Sceptile!" Ash frowned slightly. He quickly reviewed Yuuki's moveset and roughly guessed what it was.

There's one skill left, and it's bound to unleash a devastating attack!

The Lizard King understood immediately. It hid one arm behind its back and fought the Explosive Monster with only one hand.

"Boom monster, use sonic waves!"

"See the truth!"

Another futile attack. The Lizard King sensed the powerful sonic wave first and leaped high into the air!

"Sonic Blast Monster, now's the time! Unleash the full power of the Explosion!!" "Roar!!"

Yuuki had been waiting for this opportunity. The Lizard King was unable to move freely in the air and had just used Sight Slash, so it would be difficult for it to dodge the Explosive Monster's attack.

The raging flames exploded with a deafening roar, transforming into a massive wall of fire several meters high in front of the Lizard King!

"Let's give it our all... Sunblade!"

"What…"

The dazzling sun scorched Yuuki's astonished eyes. The Lizard King, suspended in mid-air, seemed to have plunged his arm into the sun, his entire body burning fiercely!

Amidst the utter shock of the entire audience, the giant sword of light, a full ten meters long, crashed down!

hum!
