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

"How about that, kid?" Mikuri felt he could finally hold his head high. "If you don't want Snorlax to fall down without accomplishing anything, hurry up and recall it."

Snorlax's attacks were consistently futile, and it would deplete its Sleep Points, eventually exhausting its stamina under the combined effects of Toxic and Seed...

At first glance, this does seem to be the case.

However, nothing in this world is absolute.

A Ludicolo that can be worn down is definitely a menace, and Ash must take care of it here!

"Mr. Mikuri... you kappa, you've used all four moves, haven't you?"

"Uh... what do you mean?" Mikoli's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively felt that something bad was about to happen.

"Then I won't hold back anymore! Snorlax, Ultimate Mighty Dash!!" "Snorlax!!"

A flash of light, and the Z power erupted instantly.

Snorlax's aura surged, completely locking onto Ludicolo's position, and launched its final attack like a heavy tank!

"No...no way..." "Rumba..."

Seeing Kirby charging towards him at full power, Mikuri couldn't help but show a look of horror.

Lucky Duck had nowhere to run. Having used all four of its special moves, it had no way to avoid the guaranteed hit of the Z-Move and could only helplessly let the huge shadow engulf its entire body...

Bang! !

The dull thud echoed throughout the bottom of the pool in the water arena. The Lucky Kappa was slammed heavily against the top edge of the pool wall, smashing a gash into it!

Kill instantly with one hit!

Chapter 949 When Overlapping Fields Meet Roars

Just moments ago, I was dreaming of letting the kappa wear down my opponent, but in the blink of an eye, the kappa is gone...

Honestly, one punch to Snorlax is Ash's signature move, so it's impossible that Wallace wasn't on guard... but this punch was just too overpowered!

Not only does it increase attack power by 5, but it also guarantees a hit. Who can stop that?!

"I never expected you to use that kind of move..." It took Mikoli a long time to recover from the shock.

"I'm not planning on Mega Evolution this time, so why can't I use a Z-Move?" Ash answered matter-of-factly, while Wallace was speechless.

He had been on guard against the Hoenn pseudo-legendary Pokémon's potential late-game bursts of power, but little did he expect Ash to make a one-shot deal!

Incidentally, although the challenges of the Road to the Championship don't have explicit requirements, Ash will still implicitly adhere to the rule of using only one upgrade method per battle...

Otherwise, it would be too much of a bully!

"Sea Lion, go!" After much deliberation, Mikeri decided to send out an Ice-type again.

He had actually planned to use a single, decisive blow to decide the outcome.

Ash's Snorlax is just too agile, doing backflips and big jumps. If Dexterity misses, Ash will be the one in trouble.

In the end, you still have to walk a tightrope at absolute zero.

"Snorlax, get out of the way!" Ash didn't disappoint him. Snorlax braced itself with its paws to lock the field, looking like it wanted to see who could break the wire first!

Then Michael realized he'd been tricked again…

Snorlax lingered on the field for a while without launching any threatening attacks. Instead, after baiting out a Zero attack from Seadra, it smoothly returned to the Poké Ball with a Rest.

"You...aren't you going to use Snorlax to continue the battle?" Mikuri was stunned.

"Of course not." As he spoke, Ash threw out Metagross's Great Ball. "Didn't I say we'd be using a field strategy this game?"

True to his word, Ash demonstrated to Wallace what field tactics truly meant with his extremely assertive style.

Metagross used Psychic to control Deino, then threw it and its Absolute Zero into the air, followed by Bullet Punch to shatter the ice and Psychic to level the bottom of the pool... When Deino fell back down, Metagross threw a Spike in front of it.

"This guy…"

"Metamorphose, come back." Before Wallace could even mutter his complaints, Ash made another substitution, "Greninja, come on!"

"Emperor Sea Lion, Surf!"

"Jump to dodge while simultaneously using Shadow Clone Technique!"

This direct attack had no chance of hitting Greninja; it simply leaped lightly to avoid the sweeping waves and summoned a series of clones in the air.

"Emperor Sea Lion, use a blizzard to disperse your clones!"

"Use Spikes!" Ash ignored the entanglement between the Sea Lion and the clones, and Greninja's main body lay directly on the bottom of the pool, shaking itself to release countless sharp spikes.

These kinds of damaging terrain need to be stacked; otherwise, relying solely on a single stealth rock would take forever to wear them down.

"We absolutely cannot let it succeed! Use absolute zero!"

"Use protective measures! Then dig the hole!"

Faced with the chilling air spreading along the ground, Greninja easily withstood it by raising its protective barrier, while the clones that had been lurking earlier had already reached the sea lion and dragged its body directly into the ground.

"Use Spikes continuously!" Seeing that only two teeth of the Dianthus were sticking out, Greninja certainly wouldn't be polite and immediately piled up three layers of Spikes.

In this way, any Pokémon that Mikuri switches in afterward, except for Gyarados, will immediately lose a quarter of their HP, and the damage from Stealth Rock will also need to be determined based on the type of Pokémon.

The Great Ferocious Pokémon is a Flying-type Pokémon and is not considered a Ground-type Pokémon, but it is weak to Rock, and the Stealth Rock alone is enough to give it a hard time.

"OK, mission accomplished, come back." Ash gave Greninja a thumbs up, called it back to its Poké Ball, and then switched to Salamence.

Field tactics definitely require forcing the opponent to constantly switch positions; standing still won't cause any damage.

"Diya sea lion, blizzard!"

"Salamander, Flamethrower!"

Mikuri hoped to use Ice-type moves to counter the four-fold super weakness, but Bloodwing played a special attack this time. With one Flamethrower, it not only melted the snow and ice, but also evaporated the water and ice on the field!

By the time Mikeley realized what was happening, the salamander had already flapped its wings and swooped down!

"Emperor Sea Lion, Absolute Zero!"

"Use protection!"

Another futile attack. The salamander used its shield to withstand the fatal blow and went face-to-face with the Dianthus.

"Roar!" "Roar!!"

The terrifying sonic boom instilled fear in the Diantar Sea Lion, who tucked its tail between its legs and fled back into its ball... and even brought out the Swampert that followed!

One stumble upon entering the arena, and a quarter... no, five-sixteenths of his health bar vanished.

"Damn it..." Mikuri cursed under his breath, feeling an urge to curse Ash's ancestors for eight generations.

Not only did he pile up rock spikes and pitons, but he also made a roar. Could this kid's tactics be any more shameless?

No wonder he was so determined to kill his stinging jellyfish…

"Swamprath, unleash your full power!" Mikuri solemnly revealed his Key Stone, "Mega Evolution!!"

An energy explosion! The Super Swampert makes its dazzling debut!

"Salamander, Flamethrower!"

"Swamp Monster, use Rain Dance! Then charge in and use Freeze Punch!"

Seeing Bloodwing unleash a burst of flame, Swamp Monster launched a water ball into the air and then leaped into the air at an extremely fast speed!

Even though Snorlax has already caught the weather setter and forced it out of the field, it can still manually cast Rain Dance!

The Mega Swampert easily dodged the flames, wielding its massive ice hammer as it lunged forward. Rainy weather allowed it to unleash its full Swiftness ability, leaving the Salamence utterly helpless…

The weather is clearing up!

"What the hell?!" Mikoli cursed in front of everyone.

The sunlight suddenly brightened, and the Swampert suddenly felt its body sink, unable to continue in mid-air!

"Roar!" "Roar!"

With another roar, the Mega Swampert flew backwards back to its ball in frustration.

It should be noted that the Roaring special move is guaranteed to hit and ignores protection. Whether it can be used successfully depends on the strength of the two sides in the battle... which can be simply understood as level.

Wallace's Swampert was probably trained when Ash was traveling to Johto, but Salamence had been with Ash since the Orange Isle, so by any measure, it was a higher level than the other's.

"Salamander, charge over and roar again!" The sonic boom continued, and seeing that Gyarados had stepped into the battle with the spikes, Bloodwing immediately took the initiative and finished it off with a single roar.

The poor Gyarados didn't even have time to unleash its taunt before it was blasted back into its Poké Ball by a combination of spikes and sonic boom.

But what's even more pitiful is yet to come.

"Damn it! No... Dianthus sea lion! Oh no..."

puff~

The continuous series of shocks made Mikuri forget to check the Poké Ball in his hand, so Delicious entered the battle looking completely bewildered... and then fell to the piercing spikes of the spikes!

One-quarter of the spikes were used, and another quarter of the rock spikes were used to overcome the ice, so the Dianthus was completely out of luck!

"Salamander, Flamethrower!" Ash didn't stop there either, and continued to have Bloodwing breathe fire to roast the bottom of the pool.

"This is not a good situation..." At this moment, Mikoli's expression was extremely solemn.

If the situation continues to develop, when Gyarados comes back to the battle, it will only have half of its health left... while Swampert will have less than half!
