Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

It clenched its teeth tightly.

He used all his strength to withstand the continuous electric shocks.

Step by step, it's like going against the flow of a waterfall.

They stubbornly continued charging towards the center of the lightning—the figure also enveloped in lightning!

"Closer! Closer!"

As Pikachu drew ever closer, Xiaoxia couldn't help but clench her fists.

"It can work!"

Xiao Gang also held his breath.

However, just as Pikachu broke through the outermost arc of electricity and was about to approach Raichu's main body...

Ma Xueshi's lips curled into a predictable smile.

"How naive!"

His deep voice was like a pronouncement.

"Now! Raichu - Thunder Fist!!"

The moment the order was given, something unexpected happened!

Raicho, who had previously appeared to be in pain and trembling slightly after being struck by the violent lightning, suddenly had a sharp glint in his eyes.

There was no trace of him struggling to hold on!

it hurts!

whee!

Just kidding!

It doesn't hurt at all!

"Judging from the activity level of the electrical currents in your Pikachu's fur, its characteristic is [static electricity], right?"

Ma Xueshi crossed his arms and spoke slowly, his tone regaining the composure and control befitting a master.

"But unfortunately—my Raichu's ability is [Lightning Rod]!"

lightning rod!

Not only can it attract Electric-type moves that target its allies to itself, but it can also become completely immune to Electric-type damage and increase its Special Attack!

The thunder just now, which seemed like a mutually destructive fighting style, was actually used to accumulate even more powerful electricity for Raichu's Thunder Fist!

The entire Thunder Purgatory was, from the very beginning, a carefully prepared trap for Pikachu!

Raichu suddenly raised his right fist!

The electric currents in the surrounding air, which should have been attacking indiscriminately and jumping around wantonly, seemed to be drawn by some invisible force.

They all changed direction, like rivers flowing into the sea, and converged wildly towards Raiqiu's right fist, which was poised to strike!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

Amidst a piercing crackling of electricity, Raichu's right fist erupted with a chilling golden-white light.

At that moment, Pikachu broke through the electric screen!

The old forces have been exhausted, and the new forces have not yet emerged.

He practically delivered himself right in front of the opponent's fist!

"Oh no!" "Watch out!"

Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia's expressions changed simultaneously.

"Lei Lei—!!"

late!

Accompanied by Raichu's roar, brimming with power and the satisfaction of revenge.

That terrifying punch, which concentrated its own electricity and even drew upon some of the energy of lightning.

It hit Pikachu squarely and without reservation in the chest!

Zzz—!!!

Golden-white lightning burst and raged wildly on Pikachu's chest!

Pikachu felt a tingling sensation all over its body as a repulsive force struck.

His body was thrown backward like a kite with a broken string!

"Pikachu! Steady!"

Xiao Zhi shouted.

Pikachu twisted its body desperately in the air, its tail struggling to maintain its balance, before finally landing on all fours and sliding backward a short distance to barely steady its shaky body.

Ma Xueshi witnessed this scene.

He said it calmly.

"Young man, the interplay and application of unique characteristics is also a crucial aspect of combat."

The owner's aura, which had been briefly shattered, has now been completely restored.

It even adds to its unfathomable depth!

The woman with wavy hair had eyes full of admiration.

"That's the boss's brilliant tactic! Utilizing unique characteristics to control the entire field!"

"That's right!"

The crew-cut young man excitedly waved his fist.

"Big Brother's Raichu is invincible in Vermilion City! How could a mere Pikachu possibly defeat the invincible Raichu!"

Invincible?

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang, who were originally anxious, froze for a moment with strange expressions when they heard the word "invincible".

Immediately, a subtle sense of relaxation replaced some of the tension.

Everyone knows that.

Invincibility is a debuff!

In the arena, Pikachu was breathing heavily.

A sharp pain shot through his chest.

The once shiny fur on its chest was now charred black, with curled edges and wisps of thin smoke rising from it.

However, its gaze sharpened again the moment it raised its head.

They locked onto the Raichu, who was riding high on the opposing team.

Xiao Zhi took a deep breath, his eyes becoming incredibly focused.

"The characteristics of a lightning rod... I see, I've learned something, Mr. Lt. Surge."

"Pickup!"

The fighting spirit between the man and the rat was reignited.

"But the battle isn't over yet! Now it's our turn to make a move!"

He waved his arm.

"Pikachu, pour sand!"

"Splashing sand?"

M. Surge, a Raichu expert, was taken aback.

Pikachu... can do this kind of move?

How come he didn't know?

However, Pikachu answered his question with its actions.

Despite the pain, it swiftly swept its tail to the side of the ground!

Whoosh—!

The dust and debris on the dojo floor were kicked up by this powerful tail strike.

It swept towards Raichu with overwhelming force!

The sandstorm obscured Raichu's vision, causing it to squint.

Ma Xueshi remained completely calm.

I thought it was something else.

Isn't this just simply throwing up dirt?

"Raichu, be on guard! Watch out for a sneak attack!"

This is a little trick to distract the viewer.

Faced with an absolute power disparity, the impact is extremely limited!

Just as his vision was obstructed, Ash's command suddenly rang out.

"Now—use Lightning Fist!!"

"what?!"

Ma Zhishi was initially startled, then almost laughed in anger.

"Kid, didn't you hear me?"

"Electric attacks are ineffective against Raichus equipped with lightning rods!"

He instantly realized that this was a foolish move made by the boy in his haste, and immediately seized the opportunity to counterattack.

"Raichu! Since they've brought us electricity, we won't stand on ceremony!"
