Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Ash's Pikachu on his shoulder reacted extremely quickly, unleashing a Thunderbolt in an attempt to intercept it.

boom!

Golden lightning and azure hammer collided violently in mid-air, the energy surging and illuminating most of the dojo!

However, the hasty interception of the electricity ultimately failed to completely offset the mental impact that Natsumi had unleashed with all her might!

The remaining force slammed into Gengar, who couldn't dodge in time!

"Gag—!"

Gengar let out a cry of pain as it was slammed against the wall and slid to the ground.

It was already at its last gasp.

Even so, it struggled to raise its head and, facing Natsumi in the air, stretched out a distorted yet provocative grimace, making a strange hoarse sound from its throat.

Naz frowned.

You naughty thing!

Under Sabrina's control, Alakazam stiffly raised its hand again, still targeting Gengar, preparing for a second attack.

"Hu...di..."

Looking at Hu Di, who could barely stand and whose eyes were unfocused.

Xiao Zhi was burning with rage.

He clearly hadn't expected this person to be so despicable!

"you……"

He suddenly raised his head, his voice low and terrifying.

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth, from the burning depths of the lungs.

"So, what's the point of Pokémon battles...?"

His gaze, like a red-hot branding iron, was fixed on Naz's face.

"...to Pokémon themselves—"

"What did you take it for?!"

With a roar, Ash suddenly moved!

He didn't throw any more Poké Balls.

Instead, it charged straight at the weakened Gengar with astonishing speed, like an enraged lion.

He used his body to firmly block Hudina's second mental attack!

Protect his companions firmly!

boom--!

The azure spiritual energy arrived as expected, slamming into Ash's back!

The burst of energy and the resulting halo engulfed him for a moment!

However, the light faded—

Xiao Zhi's body swayed slightly, but his feet were firmly planted on the ground, and he did not take a single step back!

He didn't even groan; he just stared at Gengar, who was staring at him with wide eyes.

The voice remained steady, even carrying a hint of concern for his partner's condition.

"Can you still move?"

"Gag...Here!"

Gengar looked at Ash's torn clothes from the energy impact.

He grinned widely.

Although he was weak, his eyes burned with an indomitable spirit.

What do you mean by "can't"?

You've asked too many questions!

It's not some weakling like the Charizard that collapses after a couple of hits!

"it is good!"

Then, to everyone's astonishment—including Nazja in the air—…

Ash dashed forward in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the land of Hu.

Then, with his right hand fingers hooked like hooks, he suddenly gripped Hu Di, and then pressed down and flicked it!

boom!

Hudi was slammed to the ground by this sudden burst of brute force!

Almost at the same time!

"Jehovah—!!"

Gengar pounced almost simultaneously, delivering a punch wreathed in ghostly light to Alakazam's chest.

The psychic threads connecting Sabrina vibrated violently and broke!

"Gengar!" Ash said without turning his head, his voice firm and resolute, filled with absolute trust, "Keep an eye on it! Don't let that stupid woman control it again!"

"Gag!"

Leave it to me!

Xiao Zhi slowly straightened up.

He turned around and looked up at Naz, who was suspended in mid-air and whose red eyes finally showed obvious ripples.

He twisted his neck, clenched his fists, and his knuckles cracked softly.

"Didn't you want to fight?"

"Aren't we going to use your twisted logic of 'might makes right' to decide the winner?"

"it is good."

The boy took a deep breath, his chest bulging, then pointed his fingers like knives, raised his arm, and pointed straight and unwaveringly at the figure in the air.

He spoke each word clearly and deliberately, his voice resounding with conviction.

"Then I'll stay with you—"

"Hit me until I'm satisfied!!"

Before the words were even finished!

Ash stomped hard, and the hard ground was cracked!

He shot towards Sabrina like an arrow released from a bow!

The route was not a straight line, but rather involved using walls and pillars to leap and tumble, quickly closing the height difference!

"Reckless."

Come back to your senses.

Naza coldly rebuked, and with a thought, a blue mental shield instantly appeared in front of her, its aura swirling and firmly protecting her front.

however--

Faced with that heavy Psychic Shield, which is enough to render most Pokémon moves useless.

Ash rushed forward without the slightest hesitation in his eyes, not even a hint of doubt about whether he could break through.

All that remained was an unwavering determination and a burning rage!

There are no fancy techniques, and no so-called move names.

He simply poured all his strength, the raging anger in his heart, and the sorrow for his companion's fate into his right fist!

Then, it slammed down hard on that azure barrier!

"Give me--"

The fist tore through the air, even creating a low, piercing sonic boom!

"--open!!!"

boom!!!!

The fist clashed with the mental shield.

The mental shield that was strong enough to withstand powerful skills shattered under this punch!

"!?"

Sabrina's red eyes suddenly contracted, and a clear look of astonishment finally flashed across her usually icy face!

The teleportation was instinctively activated almost at the same moment the shield shattered!

Her figure blurred and disappeared from the spot.

Ash's fist, carrying the residual force of the shattered shield, grazed the edge of her afterimage before slamming heavily into the stone platform behind Sabrina's original position, a platform that symbolized her authority!

Boom—!!

The dojo shook.

The stone platform cracked and collapsed.

Smoke is everywhere!

Naz appeared in the air, slightly lower on the other side of the field.

She didn't even have time to maintain her usual hovering height. She steadied herself somewhat hastily, her crimson eyes fixed on the collapsing platform.

And leaping out of the billowing smoke unscathed, landing with only a slight cushion before bending to the knees again.

The boy's gaze was fixed on her again, as if he were about to charge forward once more.
