Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Xiao Gang turned his attention to Wu Neng again.

This battle seemed to become a silent contest between him and his father.

"Hey! I'm your opponent!"

Xiao Zhi's voice was clearly displeased.

During the battle, the Gym Leader's opponent's attention was completely elsewhere, which was a blatant disregard for him and Pikachu, who were giving it their all!

Upon hearing the noise, Xiao Gang merely glanced indifferently at the battlefield out of the corner of his eye.

The Onix had already tightly bound the yellow-skinned mouse, depriving it of its agility and speed advantage. What could Pikachu do then?

In his view, the outcome was already clear.

The battle will be over in an instant if Onix just tightens its body slightly!

Xiao Gang remained silent and looked at Wu Neng.

Watch how he reacts.

"Damn it! Pikachu! We've been looked down upon!"

Xiao Zhi clenched his fist.

If Xiaoxia hadn't repeatedly reminded the trainer not to participate in the battle before the competition, they would have been warned by the league.

I really wanted to go up there and punch him twice!

"Pikachu!"

Xiao Zhi shouted loudly.

Go, Pikachu!

Xiaoxia and Haixingxing were also cheering them on from the sidelines.

"Pickup!"

Upon hearing the sound, Pikachu, which had been rolled up, immediately puffed out its cheeks.

Instead of trying to break free, it used its limbs to hug the thick rock tail that was binding it.

Feeling confident of victory, Onix narrowed its eyes, looked at the futilely resisting little one in its arms, leaned closer, and used the tip of its tail to stroke Pikachu's slightly pointed head.

This little thing is actually quite cute when you look at it up close!

"!"

Pikachu shuddered as its head was patted, its eyes filled with disbelief.

The next instant, the world spun around!

"?"

The giant onyx's rocky head was filled with confusion.

Huh?

Why is this little mouse suddenly standing upside down?

Huh?

Their own trainers are all doing handstands too.

Huh?

What's with that expression on my trainer's face?

Why are your eyes so wide open that you can barely see your pupils inside?

Xiao Gang: "?!"

In the arena, one could see that Pikachu was using its tail as a point of leverage to break through the massive 500-kilogram Onix's body.

It was lifted off the ground with tremendous force, drawing a stunning arc!

"BOOM—!!!"

A louder, even more muffled thud than the previous crash of the iron tail echoed through the stadium.

The giant onix was slammed hard onto the other side of the battlefield.

The shockwave seemed to make the entire dojo tremble, sending debris and dust billowing out.

"amazing!"

Xiaoxia cheered loudly.

Wu Neng, on the other hand, had an expression that said, "I already told you that."

Xiao Gang's expression turned to complete shock.

What just happened?!

A Pikachu...threw its own Onix over its shoulder?

A Pikachu that looks like a stray dog?

A Pikachu?!

He instinctively turned his head to look at his father, a ridiculous thought lingering in his mind.

Could it be that my old man was just giving me a warning?!

"hateful!"

Seeing Xiaogang's face, Xiaozhi's anger intensified.

"Even now, they still act like they refuse to open their eyes to people! How arrogant!"

He felt that despite his all-out battle with Pikachu, he still hadn't earned the opponent's true respect.

Xiao Gang: "...?!"

He almost choked on his words.

What does it mean to refuse to open your eyes and look at people?

My eyes are already wide open as wide as I've ever been in my life!

It's about to crack!

You rude brat!

"Pikachu, go! Give it a big one!"

Ash pointed his fingers like knives at the Onix, which had just shaken up from the pile of rubble and raised its huge head, clearly still dazed from the fall.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu responded immediately and quickly arrived in front of Onix.

It's faster than last time!

"Onix! Quickly...!"

Xiao Gang suppressed the turmoil in his heart and tried to issue commands to reverse the decline.

But how could Xiao Zhi let him have his way? With a loud roar, he instantly drowned out Xiao Gang's voice, which had just begun, and forcefully interrupted him!

"Use—Iron Tail!!"

In Pokémon battles, a loud voice and imposing presence can sometimes allow one to do whatever they want!

At least in disrupting the opponent's rhythm!

Upon hearing the sound, Pikachu mustered all its strength and leaped high into the air!

That jump was five meters high!

Looking at the Onix that had only half-raised its heavy head and whose consciousness was still in a state of chaos, Pikachu performed a clean and neat twist in the air and flicked its tail in front of it.

Now, it no longer hesitates at all when it receives Ash's commands!

Ash said it has Iron Tail!

Then it will definitely have an iron tail!

With its tail pulled back as far as it could go, Pikachu slammed its head down on Onix's still-not-fully-awakened head with unstoppable momentum!

"when--!!!"

The tail collided with the head, producing a sound like metal clashing!

The attack hit its mark, and the giant onyx didn't even manage to let out a proper cry.

With this one blow, Pikachu buried its head completely in the soil and rocks next to the crater it had created earlier, leaving only a small part of its body sticking out!

"Pooh!"

Landed safely.

Pikachu looked at the Onix it had planted in the ground and spat disdainfully.

Loading!

How dare you touch a mouse, you Heavenly Bodhisattva!

Even the Heavenly Bodhisattva of the Rat is not something you can touch!

Wh...what?!

Upon seeing Pikachu's Iron Tail, Brock's face was filled with utter shock.

That power!

"One month... In just one month, he could train his Iron Tail to this level?! How is that possible?!"

He was well aware of the difficulty of mastering new techniques.

Especially for Pikachu, Iron Tail, a Steel-type move, is a cross-type move. Just sensing and channeling Steel-type energy and finding that hard feeling is incredibly difficult.

Not to mention that it takes years of painstaking effort, repeated practice, and reflection to even barely grasp the basics and apply them in actual combat.

But this Pikachu on the other side hadn't even reached the threshold of Iron Tail a month ago.

But how could he not be shocked that a month later, he could use this skill to such an extent!
