Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Why does the world keep spinning?

Countless chaotic thoughts, accompanied by excruciating pain and dizziness, exploded in Raichu's blank mind.

Boom! ...

Raichu's heavy body slammed into the hard wall behind him with a loud thud.

It even shook off some dust from the wall before slowly sliding down the wall and landing on its bottom.

It shook its dizzy head, and instinctively covered its burning, stinging, and possibly swollen left cheek with one paw.

Its other paw was still stuck behind its back, and it forgot to put it down.

His eyes were filled with bewilderment, shock, and a lingering sense of disbelief.

That almost cost me half my life!

Pikachu...

Is he really that strong?!

The entire room fell silent.

"Dangdang!"

The buzz-cut man dropped the notebook he was using to record battles, and his mouth gaped open wide enough to fit a Poké Ball.

"Ah...this..."

The woman with wavy hair covered her mouth, her eyes wide open, her fingers holding her hair frozen in mid-air.

The arrogant smile on Ma Xueshi's face had long since vanished.

Only Xiaoxia and Xiaogang showed calm expressions, as if they had known all along.

That's just right!

That's just right!

As former Gym Leaders themselves, seeing the current Gym Leader get hit by Ash's distinctive Pikachu's powerful punches...

They felt an indescribable, subtle sense of comfort arising from the understanding of their peers.

Ho!

In the center of the arena, Pikachu, having adjusted its breathing and posture, spat a non-existent speck of dust onto the ground beside it.

It flicked its tail, which had just been used to unleash its Iron Tail technique.

Then, tilting his head slightly, he glanced at the Raichu in the distance, which was still sitting on the ground, covering its face in confusion, with a sharp look that mixed disdain, contempt, and "I've been annoyed with you for a long time."

Hands behind your back, right?

You want me to use both hands?

Let you show off in front of me, you little rascal!

I have to slap you in the face hard!

59. I'm a mouse that's constantly getting stronger!

Lt. Surge's gaze mechanically swept over Raichu, who was sitting on the ground, covering his chubby face and questioning his existence.

Slowly move to the arrogant Pikachu with its hands on its hips.

After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out a voice that sounded like his worldview had shattered.

"No... not..."

"Your iron tail..."

"No, your Pikachu..."

"Isn't that true...?"

Oops!

This Pikachu looks completely off!

However, during the battle, Ash won't give him a chance to sort out his thoughts.

"Pikachu, don't give it a chance to catch its breath!"

The boy's eyes were fixed intently, and without hesitation, he pointed ahead.

"Chase after them!"

"Pikachu—!"

Upon hearing this, Pikachu suddenly exerted force with all four limbs.

His figure transformed into a swift yellow shadow, rapidly closing the distance once again.

"Good boy!"

Ma Xueshi suppressed all his unspoken words, which ultimately turned into a low growl mixed with surprise and excitement.

The shock they had just experienced had been completely transformed into a burning fighting spirit.

His gaze was sharp as lightning, fixed intently on the field.

"Raichu! Wake up!" His voice suddenly rose. "This opponent isn't an ordinary Pikachu! Stop holding back!"

"Thunder... Thunder!"

Raichu, who was still sitting on the ground, was startled awake by the stern shout and shook his still buzzing head vigorously.

Hearing the trainer's serious instructions.

The excruciating pain and shame in his cheek instantly transformed into rage.

It suddenly stood up, not even caring about maintaining any posture.

It was almost a conditioned reflex.

The electric sac on my cheek burst forth with golden light once more!

He starts with his signature move – 100,000 Volts!

The thick golden current shot out even faster and wilder than before!

Straight to Pikachu!

However, Pikachu, who spends all day with Ash, is now much more agile than before.

While moving at high speed, it twists its body in an incredibly tiny arc.

The deadly lightning grazed the tip of its tail.

Its sprinting speed did not decrease at all, and it continued to close the distance with Raichu!

"Tsk! It's incredibly slippery!"

"In that case..."

Ma Zhishi's eyes sharpened.

"Raichu! Use Thunder!"

"thunder?"

Xia, who was standing on the sidelines, blurted out when she heard this.

"But the hit rate is even lower than that of 100,000 volts..."

Before she could finish speaking...

Then a roar was heard from Raichu in the arena.

The electrical energy accumulated throughout the body is no longer confined to a single point of release.

Instead, they transformed into countless raging golden lightning bolts, soaring into the sky!

Lightning gathered above the battlefield.

Boom! ...

A deafening thunderclap suddenly erupted from nowhere!

Amidst the deafening roar, bolts of lightning as thick as buckets lashed down from the churning thunderclouds!

But what surprised Xiaogang, Xiaoxia, and even Xiaozhi was...

The terrifying thunderclouds, brimming with dreadful power, did not seem to be targeting Pikachu, who was moving at high speed.

Instead, it slammed hard into the area where Raichu was located!

A blinding white light exploded instantly, completely engulfing Raichu's enormous body!

"Has it gone mad?!"

Seeing the violent electric snakes crawling and leaping across the ground, Xiaoxia couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Do not……"

Xiao Gang's gaze sharpened, as if he had thought of something.

"He's trying to... wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump!"

For Pikachu to deal effective damage, it ultimately has to get close!

Before the words were even finished, dazzling lightning cascaded down like a waterfall, enveloping not only Raichu himself.

It also turned a large area around it into a purgatory of lightning!

"Pikachu—!!"

Pikachu, already in front of Raichu, had no way to avoid being engulfed by the raging electricity!

It let out a painful cry.

His body trembled violently in the flash of electricity, and his momentum faltered.

"Pikachu!"

Upon hearing Ash's voice, Pikachu's eyes hardened.
