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

He has to do something to stop this momentum, or he's really going to lose!

"Phew... Looks like this is the only way." Mikuri took out the last Poké Ball in the pack, flicked his cape, and elegantly threw the ball. "Show your most beautiful form, Milotic!"

He's decided to play his ace!

"Milanos, surf in!"

A graceful water snake entered the arena from the air, twisting its body to summon a massive curtain of water, seemingly attempting to instantly submerge the entire area!

"Salamander, use Flamethrower at full power! If that doesn't work, use Protect. You have to stop the water flow no matter what!!"

Ash was equally determined. His Salamence lay flat on the bottom of the pool, flapping its wings and spewing flames upwards with all its might, trying to stop the water curtain from falling.

Seeing that the water curtain was about to close, it ran to the landing point of Milotic and used its protective ability, barely saving a piece of open space at the bottom of the pool!

"Meow!" Milotic failed to use Surf to block the spikes as Mikuri had planned, and ended up at the bottom of the pool, taking full damage from the terrain.

After letting out a scream, Milotic, enraged, unleashed an ice beam at the Salamence, instantly turning the latter into a body covered in frost!

Even so, the salamander continued to grin wildly.

It did it!

Chapter 950: A Battle of Attrition, A Magnificent End!

"Salamander, come back."

Ash secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he retracted his blood-red wings, which were covered in frost.

That last attack was actually quite dangerous; Bloodwing could have been instantly killed by the opponent, but fortunately, it was resilient enough.

This is also because Ash had battled Milotic before and knew that Wallace was just a pure bulky Pokémon. Although it had the physique of a champion, it didn't have the offensive capabilities of a champion... Otherwise, Ash wouldn't have dared to let Bloodwing block the 4x Ice damage.

"Your salamander is truly remarkable... Milotic, regenerate." Mikuri praised in a deep voice, signaling Milotic to regenerate in time.

After that, Milotic burst into flames and deliberately became burned.

Ash realized that Wallace had equipped Milotic with a Flame Orb specifically to counter him, maximizing its defense.

His Milotic has the Wonder Scale ability, which increases its Defense to 1.5 times when it is under a status condition. In addition, Milotic has always followed a durable build, so its Defense should be tough enough to withstand a full-force attack from Belly Drum Snorlax!

However, this strategy isn't without its flaws; burns cause damage every turn, making self-regeneration an essential skill...

But this trick can't be used indefinitely!

As for how to do it, Gyarados just now taught Ash... Coincidentally, one of his partners also learned the same move~

"Go, Greninja, let's start with you!" With the plan settled, Ash sent Greninja out to lead the attack.

The battle had actually reached its final stage, and it was time to take down the boss; Ash and Wallace both knew this.

Wallace won't replace Milotic. He knows Ash has plenty of ways to drain the water from the field, and Swampert and Gyarados will still be threatened by the spikes. Switching them out would be a death sentence.

As for Ash, Bloodwing definitely can't go on the field anymore. As long as he uses the remaining five Pokémon to forcefully defeat Milotic, he's guaranteed to win this match!

"Milanos, surf!"

"Greninja Frog, dig a hole!"

A great battle was about to break out. Milotic was the first to stir up a huge wave, while Greninja immediately dug through the bottom of the pool to hide.

"Hmm?" Mikuri frowned slightly, immediately understanding Ash's plan.

Greninja is digging tunnels beneath the field, trying to drain the water from the field!

"In that case, don't come out! Use the Freeze Ray!"

click!

A flash of icy blue light appeared, and the entire arena was instantly covered in ice.

"Don't underestimate Greninja's power!" "Click!"

Breaking through the soil and then the ice, Greninja powerfully bursts forth from the ground, even forcefully pushing Milotic's body off the ground.

"Use surfing!"

"Use the digging tool again!"

As in previous encounters, Greninja nimbly dodged the attacks and then continued digging a ditch below to drain water.

"In that case... use Enchanting Voice on the ground!" Mikuri finally decided to take action. Milotic buried its head in the center of the swirling water and released a melodious song towards the entire area below.

hum~

The water in the field suddenly trembled strangely, and a moment later, the Greninja frog emerged from the ground on the other side, its face contorted in pain.

"That's impressive." Ash exclaimed in amazement; Wallace's move just now was indeed powerful.

Charm Voice is a guaranteed hit, but it cannot hit opponents who are temporarily away from the field. However, Mikuri made Milotic release the special move directly in the water, and let the sound travel along the water in the pit.

In the end, it not only successfully hit Greninja, but also added an echo effect, making its power even greater!

Fortunately, they managed to pull out the last trick.

Ash was constantly on guard against Milotic's final move, whether it was Whirlpool to grab someone or Mirror Reflect to chip away at their health, both were very troublesome to deal with.

But since Mikoli has chosen to attack, there's nothing to worry about.

After using Shadow Clone to maneuver for a while, Ash decisively recalled Greninja.

Mikkuri did not attempt to pursue, allowing Milotic to use its second Regeneration ability.

Ash then sent out Metagross. Facing the surging waves summoned by Milotic, Ash didn't let it expend its psychic power to defend against them. Instead, he used Protect and Bullet Punch alternately to fight Milotic head-on!

After Metagross left the field, Milotic had to use Recover again... because Snorlax was the next to enter the field!

Against Snorlax, Milotic must maintain near-full HP to ensure it can withstand a Belly Drum punch...

But Wallace miscalculated; Ash had no intention of using Belly Drum at all!

The area had been flooded again, but this did not hinder Snorlax's movements; on the contrary, it provided it with great convenience.

The butterfly stroke master has reappeared! Snorlax swiftly approached Milotic to everyone's astonishment and promptly slapped it in return!

With Snorlax's physical attack, even without Belly Drum, this hit would definitely hurt a lot.

Of course, Snorlax couldn't fight for long either. It was still being drained by Leech Seed, and its stamina was dropping faster than Milotic's.

Finally, Snorlax could no longer hold out and had to leave the field.

Of course, Ash left an extra layer of protection, allowing Snorlax to use its final sleep before leaving the field.

"Hoo... Milotic, regenerate!" Mikuri rubbed his throbbing temples. The long and brutal battle had already left him mentally exhausted.

Milotic, equally exhausted, unleashed its fourth Regeneration without hesitation…

Just then, Ash suddenly launched an attack!

"Now's the time! Go, Dorgon, with hatred!!" "Doruru!"

The Galar, who hadn't shown up at all during the game, suddenly released the ball, unleashing his pent-up resentment on Milotic, completely blocking any possibility of it recovering!

"This... Milotic, attack with all your might, use Charm!" Wallace's face turned cold. He didn't have time to question Ash anymore and directly ordered Milotic to sing out a series of soul-stealing sounds.

"Drowsworn, Agility!" Dragapult was severely injured by the Fairy-type move, but it was still able to hold on. Ash decisively made it accelerate at full speed, turning it into a blur!

"No matter how fast you get, it's useless! Milotic, Enchanting Voice!"

"We know whether it's useful or not! Doron, misfortunes never come singly!"

The drifting sound waves and the pitch-black rays intertwined in the air, missing each other without interfering, and then simultaneously dealt a heavy blow to their opponent!

Dragapult was once again countered, and its stamina instantly turned red; Milotic, already burned, took a Ghost-type move with double the power, and its damage was also considerable!

"Keep moving at high speed!" Even at this point, Ash was still determined to make Dragapult speed up.

"Use the Enchanting Voice at full power!"

The situation finally changed at this moment. Due to the explosive increase in Draco's speed, the sonic waves of the Enchanting Voice actually took a while to catch up with Draco!

"Got it! Use Baton Pass!" Ash exclaimed with ecstasy, waving his fist as Dragapult made a triumphant escape before being hit by the sonic wave!

And the one that took over the four speed boosts was none other than Ash's Milotic!

The time for civil war has finally come!

Compared to the other two, Ash's Milotic was only slightly injured before. It had been conserving its energy and had just used Dragapult's full-force four-stage speed boost.

In contrast, Mikkuri's Milotic had just endured a series of battles, and was suffering from burns and severe exhaustion that it was unable to recover from!

Even with its championship pedigree, it was too late to turn the tide!

"No matter what, we won't give up! Milotic, surf!"

"Roll around on the waves, then use salt water!"

"It's that same old trick again... use Ice Beam to block!" Wallace's expression tightened. Ash was surprisingly steady at the last moment!

Because of the speed boost, Milotic can move more quickly across the waves, and the enhancement process seems to be completed in an instant.

The subsequent torrent of water forced Mikoli to handle it with caution...

"What?!" Mikuri was shocked to find that his Milotic's ice light had been dispersed by the water jet!

As the remaining water jets blasted at its body, Milotic let out a scream.
