Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

He cleared his throat, trying to regain the serious atmosphere from before.

"Regardless of anything else, since you know that the Goldenrod Gym is a Psychic-type gym, the solution to this problem is theoretically quite simple and clear—"

"Oh, sir, you mean we should find Dark-type Pokémon to deal with Psychic-type Pokémon?"

Xiao Zhi, who immediately switched his train of thought, chimed in.

Nazi's elderly father was taken aback upon hearing this.

He glanced at Xiaozhi with some surprise.

This kid... his reaction was pretty quick.

Based on his past experience, the guys who dared to challenge his daughter were mostly hot-blooded types who didn't think much about tactics.

"Dark-type Pokémon are immune to Psychic moves, so theoretically they are the safest choice."

He paused.

"What, do you already have a Dark-type partner?"

Was he prepared for this, targeting his own daughter?

A spark of hope ignited in his heart: what if this boy happened to have a Dark-type Pokémon?

Without using your own methods, the success rate will be greatly increased!

"No, not Dark-type..."

Ash patted his Poké Ball.

"...But I have a Charizard! Is that okay? It's really powerful!"

The Dark-type potential of your own Charmeleon.

But Brother Du has personally certified that he is a top-notch evil genius!

It's just a little regrettable that he was born into a fire-type body; otherwise, he would definitely have become a local tyrant!

Uncle: "...???"

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

How about a Charizard?

"Charmeleon is a Fire-type Pokémon, how could that be..."

He instinctively retorted, but before he could finish speaking, Ash had already deftly pulled out a Poké Ball.

A red light flashed.

A Charmeleon with a tall, slender body, gloomy eyes, and cool black skin appeared in the Pokémon Center.

Charmander's gaze swept over everyone present.

His eyes were filled with ever-emerging malice.

Finally, the image focuses on a middle-aged man who looks completely unfamiliar to the viewer.

It sniffed.

It smelled an odor that made the dragon very uncomfortable!

Charmander stared at the middle-aged man in front of it, its unbridled gaze seemingly materializing.

He slowly licked her body.

He lingered a little longer, especially on the lower three sections.

Nazi's elderly father suddenly felt a tightness in his body.

A chilling sensation, as if being targeted by a natural enemy, crept up my spine.

The superpower within him was not weak.

A wave spontaneously emanated from it, seemingly issuing him an instinctive warning.

So evil...

Is this really just a Charizard?!

"This Charmeleon..."

The uncle's voice was a little hoarse. He composed himself and carefully observed the Charizard.

"Indeed...very special."

"Did you hear that! Charmeleon!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi smiled.

He casually patted the Charizard.

With two powerful "thumps," the Charmander was shaken.

His gaze toward Naz's father then turned even more sinister.

It directly attributed these two blows to this person.

“But!” Sabrina’s father changed the subject, his tone becoming serious again, “Unfortunately, it’s not a true Dark-type Pokémon after all.”

"Sarcasm's strength lies not only in her Pokémon battle prowess, but also in the fact that she is an extraordinary psychic."

"Her psychic powers can even be actively applied to her Psychic-type Pokémon, greatly enhancing their combat abilities."

"Faced with that level of superpower, a Charizard without any attribute advantage... its chances of winning are probably not high."

Xiao Zhi scratched his head and began to think seriously.

"Then I still have Butterfree! A Bug-type Butterfree should be fine, right?"

The uncle shook his head and sighed.

Bug-type is effective against certain types, but Bug-type Pokémon are still too weak.

"If your Butterfree were to face a typical Psychic-type Trainer or Pokémon, its Bug-type typing might allow it to hold its own, or even gain the upper hand."

"But Sabrina... she is not an ordinary superhuman. Her superpowers are enough to compensate for or even reverse the disadvantages of her attributes to a certain extent."

"My Butterfly is different!"

Seeing Ash looking eager to grab another Poké Ball, the uncle quickly raised his hand to stop him.

"Alright, let me finish." He rubbed his temples. "I know a place... that can provide a real solution."

He lowered his voice, and his eyes became deep.

"You know Ziyuan Town, right?"

"Not only are there many Ghost-type Pokémon, but one of them, Gengar, is exceptionally powerful."

"Ghost-type is also super effective against Psychic-type. If you can find it and successfully gain its approval, or even go further and capture it..."

His gaze swept over Ash and his two companions.

"Then, we have at least a 90% chance of defeating Sabrina!"

Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia, and Xiaogang exchanged glances.

They asked in unison, though in different voices.

"Where is Lavender Town?", "Uncle, how do you know there are powerful Ghost-type Pokémon there?", "Why is it only 90%?"

The issue of Xiaozhi and Xiaogang was overlooked.

A look of reminiscence crossed the middle-aged man's face.

How did I know?

"Back when I first started going out to gain experience, my first stop after leaving Golden City was the neighboring Purple Garden Town."

"There... I had an encounter with Gengar and his companions."

"Although I ultimately lost to it, it also paid a heavy price!"

"Of my henchmen, only two were still standing, while I escaped unscathed!"

What followed was a long speech.

What about the claims that "Gengar's hard-fought victory couldn't mask its declining momentum" or "He lost with honor, displaying the demeanor of a psychic"?

"Given the behavior of Ghost-type Pokémon over the years, it's highly likely that it's still there, and even stronger now."

"So your plan is for us to capture that Gengar that defeated you back then?"

Xiao Gang concluded.

"A narrow defeat! A narrow defeat!"

The man immediately corrected him, his expression very serious.

"That's readily available; it's the most powerful Ghost-type combatant I know of."

"What if... we can't subdue it?"

Xiaoxia asked the crucial question.

"Or perhaps we simply can't find it, or it doesn't want to come with us? There must be a backup plan, right?"

"Cough cough..."

The middle-aged man's expression stiffened slightly, and his eyes darted around.

He really hadn't thought of that.

But he quickly regained his composure.

"Well... there's absolutely no need to worry! Of course I have a Plan B! A very comprehensive Plan B! Just go ahead and do it!"

He patted his chest and assured them.

Xiao Zhi and his friends huddled closer together and quickly began to whisper among themselves.

What are you thinking?

Xiao Gang asked.

"I don't care at all. I believe my Pokémon won't lose to Sabrina!"
