Pokémon: A Roundup of Ash's Eight Masters' Peak Battles!

"Here comes Pikachu!"

"Pick-up~"

Because of its enormous size, Pikachu's voice echoed throughout the entire Colosseum.

"Very good, very energetic! Charizard, Max Airstream!" Leon waved his left hand forcefully, pointing towards the Gigantamax Pikachu in front of him.

"We are too! Pikachu! Dynamax Steel!"

Pikachu waved its tail and charged towards the Charizard opposite it!

Charizard flapped its fiery wings, sending a gust of wind rushing straight at Pikachu.

The airflow made it difficult for Pikachu to move, and the sharp blades carried by the airflow continued to attack Pikachu.

Both Pikachu and Ash are novices when it comes to Dynamax battles.

Pikachu's Max Steel attack didn't even have time to be unleashed before it was blown away by Charizard's Max Fly.

Pikachu's enormous figure crashed heavily into the entire venue with a "thud".

This is where the disadvantages of Dynamax become apparent.

Its enormous size also brought tremendous impact.

Even a fall can cause serious damage to a Pokémon of this size.

"Stand up, Pikachu! We still have a chance! We haven't lost yet!"

Even when hit by Charizard's Dynamax Fly, Pikachu did not exit its Dynamax form and lose its ability to battle.

After being thrown around and feeling quite disoriented, Pikachu heard Ash's encouragement.

then.

In order not to let down his trainer.

Pikachu stood up again!

Pikachu!

Appeared!

Ash's most famous move!

……

Let me explain.

Ash's victory in Alola was like a joke.

It really doesn't have much value.

None of the island kings who could represent Alola's strength participated, and even the final was just a 3v3. Can this kind of champion be called a league champion?

That Alora is really useless in terms of prestige.

The only 6v6 all-out battle in the entire Alola region was during the final battle against Professor Kukui.

Ash truly deserved his title as Alola Champion after defeating Professor Kukui!

The problem is that the only thing recognized by the outside world is the championship that Ash won in the tournament.

It was also called the least prestigious championship.

It can only be said that information asymmetry is deadly.

It's not that Ash lacks the corresponding strength, after all, he defeated Tapu Koko head-on.

Its value is absolutely beyond doubt.

The information gap led outsiders to believe that Ash won a championship that lacked real value.

Aside from Professor Oak and Hanako, almost everyone in the final battle scene of Pokémon Sun and Moon was a local Alola resident; very few people outside of Alola would even know about it.

Moreover, the timeline for those watching the live stream is during Ash's Silver Conference!

It's normal not to know about Alola!

I'm just sharing my understanding here; please forgive me if there's anything incorrect.

Chapter 42 A Dream Combination! Gigantamax Thunderbolt!

[Xiaoxia: Ash's signature move has appeared! Stand up!]

[Da Ye: What's wrong with asking if you don't understand?]

[Xiao Gang: Let me explain. Whenever Ash's Pokémon is exhausted or about to lose in a battle, Ash will shout "Get up!" to encourage his Pokémon.]

[Ayaka: What's wrong with that? I use that method to motivate myself during every training session.]

[Brock: No, this is different. Yours is just ordinary encouragement. Ash's is a buff. Every time Ash shouts "Stand up!", these Pokémon unleash even greater power than before.]

[Xiao Gang: I define this situation as a "rejuvenating roar," meaning a miraculous cure.]

Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?

Other people's battles focus on tactics, but you're focusing on magic, huh?

Although what Xiaogang said was quite fantastical.

But it seems to make some sense.

After all, within the light screen, Pikachu, who had been in a daze, immediately regained his senses.

This... I really don't know how to explain it.

[Big Leaf: Are you kidding me? There's such an ability? Ash, are you cheating?]

[Wu Song: I successfully obtained superpowers in the cheating competition, Da Ye, you should try it too.]

[Da Ye: Where are you participating? Can you invite me?]

[Shiba: Really? I want to try it too!]

[Lorelei: As expected of the Volcanic Rock duo. Ash's strength lies in his bond with his Pokémon, and Gossot's psychic abilities are innate. He just casually mentioned it, and you guys believed it so easily?]

They were all one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Kona said she was exhausted.

Let’s just watch the live broadcast.

Xiao Zhi looks quite young, but he's really good-looking, no wonder he's so popular with girls.

……

In the picture—

Pikachu, having regained its spirits, once again possessed its usual sharp gaze.

Seeing Pikachu cheer up again, Ash pointed forcefully at the Charizard in front of him.

"Let's use that one, Gigantamax Thunderstrike!"

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu's body trembled, and a massive amount of golden lightning surged from within him.

Even the dark clouds overhead, composed of immense energy, were enveloped in a layer of electric light.

Seemingly accustomed to the frequency of releasing 100,000 volts as usual, Pikachu's chubby body bounced twice on the ground.

The arena was shaken by this.

Seeing the ever-accumulating lightning, Leon knew it was time for this battle to end.

By mastering his exclusive Gigantamax moves, Ash can be considered to have entered the realm of Dynamax.

"Come on, Charizard, Gigantamax Hellfire!"

The scorching fire dragon and the thunderous lightning clashed in the use of Dynamax moves.

Charizard is clearly an expert.

In the blink of an eye, Gigantamax Hellfire Dragon was about to shatter the lightning of Gigantamax Thunderstrike.

Even though Pikachu's body is still constantly generating electricity!

"It's still not working. I'm still a little unwilling to lose like this," Ash muttered to himself.

The battle itself wasn't that important, but being completely crushed like that still made Ash a little unhappy.

So what if Dan Emperor is the world's number one now?

He's the challenger!

Ash looked down and was startled by the flash of the Z-Crystal on his wrist.

Z pure crystal!

Got it!

At this time, Pikachu is unable to wear the hat on its head due to Gigantamax.

Ash didn't immediately think of the Z-Move!

It seems that fate has decreed that this battle will be even more exciting.
