Pokémon: Simultaneous time travel, this Ash is too versatile

Chapter 379 Ace vs. Ace, Pikachu vs. Slacker!

"lucky————"

On the field, Lucky Egg let out a faint, almost inaudible wail, its voice devoid of its usual gentleness and strength, filled only with extreme weakness.

She struggled to stand up, but even after recovering from laying eggs, her body was still severely damaged by the scorching flames.

Laying an egg can restore half of your health, but with Charizard's attack power, a single Flame Charge with its powerful claws can almost completely deplete a Blissey's health.

After all, while Blissey has great stamina, its maximum HP is still not enough when it encounters a powerful physical attacker.

Physical strength alone cannot constitute a strong overall defense. With Blissey's pitifully low defense, it is vulnerable to attacks from a physical attacker like Charizard, especially when Charizard uses a powerful move like Flare Blitz with its Hard Claws ability. Even if Blissey is at a higher level than Charizard, it will be useless.

Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, Lucky Egg slowly closed its eyes, tilted its head to the side, and lost its ability to fight.

"Roar!!" The Charizard roared to the sky, its blazing flames shooting high into the air, indicating its current excitement.

Although the battle ended quickly, Blissey caused him considerable trouble, especially since Blissey was a higher level than him and its attack was able to defeat it directly, which surprised even Charizard itself.

"How could this be—Daddy's Lucky Egg—Daddy's Lucky Egg has such high stamina! How could it be defeated in one blow!!" Xiao Sheng's face was full of disbelief as he muttered to himself, unable to accept this fact at all.

In the past, when my father used the Happy Egg to battle others, although there were no shocking scenes of one-hit kills, there were scenes where the opponent could only scratch the Happy Egg no matter how hard they tried.

Moreover, it often happens that the enemy finally manages to deplete Blissey's stamina, only to have Blissey use a special egg to completely restore its stamina.

Even a beginner knows the normal strategy for using Blissey: shrink Blissey to increase the chance of dodging enemy attacks, then use skills to counterattack when the opponent's attack misses.

If your stamina drops to a certain level, just use the Egg-Laying skill to restore your stamina. In the end, the enemy will just be played to death by the Bliss Egg.

That's how the legend of the Pink Devil came about!

In Xiaosheng's memory, his father's Blissey had never lost, but today it was not only defeated by the opponent, but also killed in one blow. That Charizard was just too exaggerated!

Is Ash really only fifteen years old? How could a fifteen-year-old train such a terrifying Pokémon, even stronger than the Pokémon his father trained for over ten years? That's just too unreasonable!

"Xiaosheng, don't get excited. The battle isn't over yet. You might affect your father." Xiaoyao patted Xiaosheng on the shoulder, signaling him not to be too impulsive.

Judging from Xiaosheng's posture, he even wanted to rush into the arena to check on the condition of the Egg of Delight, since he simply couldn't believe that Egg of Delight had been defeated so easily.

But that's the harsh reality! Blissey was indeed killed in one hit by Charizard's Flare Rush. This kind of Pokémon with high HP, practically a tank, will have its overall strength greatly reduced if it is killed in one hit.

After all, Blissey's attack power is not strong to begin with, and even its special attack is only relatively strong. It is a pipe dream to think that it can defeat its opponent by relying on pure offense.

To defeat your opponent, the only way is through endless attrition. The best strategy is to continuously wear down your opponent by using the egg-laying skill.

Unfortunately, if a strategy focused on attrition encounters a Charizard with extreme attack power, then it's simply bad luck.

If it were a normal Charizard, even using close-range attacks, it wouldn't be able to kill Blissey in one hit. Let alone kill it in one hit, it would be considered a superb performance for Charizard if it could reduce Blissey's health by a third in one attack.

Without hard claws, its attack stat isn't increased, and its level is far behind, how can it possibly compete with a Blissey?

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Once a Mega Charizard evolves, it can easily defeat Blissey as long as its moves hit.

Qianli breathed a sigh of relief, then recalled the Cheese Egg: "Thank you for your hard work, Cheese Egg. I'm sorry, I made a mistake in my command. I'll take you to the Pokémon Center later."

After apologizing to the Egg of Delight inside the Poké Ball, Senri took out his last Poké Ball.

"To be honest, before battling you, Ash, I never imagined I would be pushed to this point. To be precise, I never imagined I would be pushed to this point by you in this state."

This so-called state means that Xiaozhi is not using waveguide fusion.

Although Ash defeated Lorelei, experienced trainers could tell that Ash's Pokémon was able to do so by using his special power. Otherwise, how could a Champion-level Pokémon possibly fight against a Champion-level Pokémon?

Therefore, before battling Ash, Senri had already prepared for Ash to use the special power of those boosted Pokémon.

If Ash uses that method, even he wouldn't be able to deal with it. He could only fight with all his might, and the final result would most likely be a loss.

Ash didn't even use that move, and still managed to defeat his two Pokémon.

On one hand, he underestimated Ash, believing that he still had the advantage before Ash used that move. On the other hand, he overestimated himself, thinking that even if Ash used that move, he would still be able to fight back.

The final result is as follows: even without that move, Ash defeated both of his Pokémon without suffering any casualties himself.

However, to be fair, this is just a harsh way of putting it. In reality, Ash's Lucario is practically incapacitated, and Charizard's stamina has also been significantly depleted.

That Charizard is Ash's ace after all, so it's reasonable for it to be a bit fierce. Ash has already sent out his ace, so now it's his turn to counterattack.

"This is my last Pokémon, and also my ace. Ace against ace, this should be a very interesting battle, Ash." As he spoke, Senri threw the Poké Ball in his hand. With a flash of light, a burly Pokémon appeared on the field.

With an appearance resembling that of an ape, its brown fur hangs limply. From its face and overall appearance, it gives off a very lazy feeling. Although it looks powerful, it doesn't give off a scary feeling, perhaps because of its lazy posture.

This Pokémon is none other than the ace Pokémon of the Hoenn region, the Slaking King!

Slaking possesses extremely terrifying racial abilities. Even pseudo-legendary Pokémon cannot compare to Slaking's racial abilities. In terms of racial abilities, Slaking is already among the highest tier of ordinary Pokémon. Moreover, it is not as difficult to train as pseudo-legendary Pokémon, yet still, not many people train it.

The reason is that even if you successfully train a Slave King, it is very difficult to use him.

Slaking's trait is Sloth; after launching an attack, the next attack will enter a stagnant phase. In other words, every attack by Slaking is equivalent to using Hyper Beam.

This characteristic will undoubtedly cause many trainers a lot of headaches. Moreover, after evolving into Slaking, this Pokémon will become very lazy. Although it will not completely stop training, it is normal for it to lie down for twenty hours a day.

If you can find half an hour to train each day, you should be grateful.

Therefore, although it is easier to train Slaking to its final evolution than to train other pseudo-legendary Pokémon, there are still not many people who train this Pokémon.

Battles are ineffective, and training is slack off every day. This kind of Pokémon is impossible to control unless you are a highly skilled trainer.

Coincidentally, Senri is a highly skilled trainer in this field.

Not only had he trained this Slaking, but it was also his ace Pokémon! Ash glanced at Slaking's level and saw that it had already reached the Champion Intermediate level!

Compared to the other Pokémon that Senri has, Slaking is simply outclassed!

"Ace against ace? In that case, I'll have to bring out my ace too. Charizard, come back here!" Ash said, recalling Charizard.

This move surprised Qianli, Xiaoyao, and Xiaosheng.

Why did Ash recall Charizard? Does this mean Charizard isn't Ash's ace Pokémon? That can't be! Such a powerful Charizard isn't Ash's ace? Then what is Ash's ace Pokémon?

"I'm entrusting this final battle to you, Pikachu." Ash turned to Pikachu at his feet and said firmly, entrusting the final battle to his most trusted Pokémon!

Ash treats all his Pokémon equally and rarely shows favoritism towards any particular Pokémon. However, this is only a general rule; within the entire team, all the Pokémon know that Pikachu is different.

He was Ash's first Pokémon and the one Ash trusted the most, a fact well-known among Pokémon.

Regardless of whether Pikachu is the strongest in the team, in important battles, it is always Ash's trump card, just like in this one.

"Pikachu?" Qianli was also stunned when he saw Pikachu appear. He did not expect that Ash would recall Charizard and replace it with Pikachu.

Ash's Pikachu is powerful and iconic, but it still pales in comparison to Charizard's achievements. It is said that Ash's Pikachu has many strange moves, but those moves are nothing but illusions in the face of absolute power.

No matter how strong a Pikachu is, its strength is limited. How can it be compared to a Charizard that can Mega Evolve?

After Pikachu appeared, the children watching were dazzled. It has to be said that Ash's Pokémon are just right for them. They are either handsome or cute, and they want them all!

But then again, even children don't think that Pikachu, such a cute Pokémon, can exert much power compared to that big guy on the other side.

"Come on, Mr. Senri, let's have our final battle!"

"The last round? I don't think so. My Slaking will defeat all your Pokémon." Senri calmly uttered words that left no room for doubt.

Ash said it was the last round, which means that Ash thought he could defeat Slaking in this match, but Senri had no intention of falling here.

Whether it's Pikachu, Charizard, or Lucario in its last moments, his Slaking will defeat them all!

"No, I'll end this battle here. Go, Pikachu!" Ash said, taking off his hat and tossing it into the air. Pikachu leaped up and landed the hat steadily on Ash's head.

"Is it Pikachu wearing a hat from the start? Ash is going all out!" Brock said seriously, arms crossed.

"What does 'Pikachu wearing a hat' mean? Will anything different happen if Pikachu wears a hat?" Xiaosheng asked curiously.

"Yes, the biggest difference with Ash's Pikachu is that it undergoes some amazing changes after wearing Ash's hat. Not only can it use some moves that have never appeared on the market before, but all its stats and even its level will increase," Misty nodded in response.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sheng, Xiao Yao, and the other children around them, who were also puzzled but impressed, all gaped in astonishment.

This isn't just wearing a hat, it's practically using cheat codes!

"Besides this—Aura resides in my heart!" Ash murmured, his hands clasped in front of him. A powerful aura flowed into Pikachu's body, and Pikachu's power was sublimated at this moment. With all these powers combined, he was now no weaker than a typical Champion Pokémon!

In terms of actual power, Pikachu is even a level above Slaking.

Ash has always battled opponents of higher levels in the past, and even just now, Lucario battled Kangaskhan, who was two levels higher, and Charizard battled Blissey, who was one level higher. But this time, it was Ash's turn to have the level advantage over his opponent!

"Here it comes—is this the power that defeated Elite Four member Lorelei? Let me see it, Ash! Slaking, use Mega Kick!" Senri also sensed Pikachu's sudden surge of power, and he immediately understood that this was the power Ash used when he fought Lorelei.

He didn't hold back with Ash either, and on his first attack, he forced Slaking to use the Normal-type move Mega Kick!

Slaking crouched slightly, then leaped up suddenly, his huge feet aimed at Pikachu as he flew down, the air filled with the sound of something cutting through it.

"Pikachu, Steel Tail!" Ash's command stunned Senri. Did he want Pikachu to confront Slaking head-on?

No, how dare you!
