Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Absolutely not allowed!

It absolutely cannot be allowed!

Rubbing its chin, the fossil pterosaur took a deep breath.

Then it suddenly spread its broad, rocky-gray wings and let out a long howl to the sky.

"Roar--!!!"

This time, it really went all out!

The oppressive effect is fully activated!

An invisible pressure surged from its body like a tide, spreading in all directions.

Under that pressure.

The surrounding audience shuddered involuntarily, and even several children were so frightened that they hid behind the adults.

Ash's expression instantly turned serious.

He stood motionless in the center of that invisible aura, only his gaze became sharper.

He could feel the weight of that pressure.

That wasn't bluffing, nor was it last-minute cramming—it was confidence and ruthlessness etched into the bones after countless battles and trials.

To be able to develop a sense of oppression to this extent requires extensive training!

This is the true aura of an ancient overlord!

"Pikachu!"

"Pickup!"

Without Ash having to say anything more, Pikachu's wariness of Aerodactyl rose to another level.

Xiao Zhi was absolutely right!

With such a strong sense of oppression, it can't even dream of using other skills!

The entire room fell silent for a moment.

Just as Pikachu was intently staring at the fossil pterosaur, it suddenly moved.

It just flicked its tail.

Countless stones then materialized out of thin air.

"It was a rockfall!"

Xiao Gang, who was standing on the edge, was the first to react.

As a former Gym Leader of Pewter City and an expert on Rock-type Pokémon, he was very familiar with this move.

But when he saw the size of those rocks, his pupils contracted sharply.

"No...this scale..."

A typical Rock-type Pokémon using Rock Slide can create rocks about the size of a basketball, which is already quite impressive.

However, the rocks formed by the fossil pterosaurs, not to mention their quantity, are each three to four times larger than ordinary rocks!

That wasn't just a "rockfall," it was practically a "meteorite shower."

"No wonder it's a Pokémon that has battled the champion," Brock murmured. "The power and number of attacks from this move alone are enough to overwhelm more than 90% of Rock-type Pokémon."

In the sky, the rocks continued to coalesce, becoming more and more numerous and denser, blotting out the sun and casting a huge shadow.

The fossil pterosaur looks down at Pikachu.

Then, it flapped its wings.

"Roar!"

At a command, all the rocks crashed down like meteorites!

"Pikachu! Use Iron Tail!"

"Pickup!"

With a reply, Pikachu braced itself on one hand and lashed out with its tail at an oncoming boulder.

"boom--!"

Unsurprisingly, the boulder immediately shattered into pieces.

Pikachu landed lightly, still catching its breath, when the second and third pieces arrived one after another.

"Bang bang bang!"

With a series of swipes of its iron tail, one boulder after another shattered before it.

The fossil pterosaur controlling the rockfall was startled.

Iron Tail?

You call this an iron tail?

Without being beaten, one has no right to speak. Having been severely beaten by a Steel-type master, its perception of Steel-type energy can be described as unforgettable.

But it couldn't sense any Steel-type energy on the tail of the Pikachu in front of it!

You broke it entirely because of your physical strength!

Seeing Pikachu and Ash getting more and more excited as they fought, Aerodactyl almost thought it had returned to the ancient times when everyone was incredibly powerful.

In a state of panic.

The fossil pterosaur increased its output.

But this time, they weren't just falling randomly.

Instead, it landed precisely around Ash and Pikachu.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang—"

Each rock that hit the ground kicked up a cloud of dust, causing the ground to tremble.

The rocks fit together perfectly, layer upon layer, quickly forming a wall.

In less than five seconds, an "arena" made of natural boulders stood prominently in front of everyone.

Ash and Pikachu were completely surrounded inside.

The towering stone walls on all four sides blocked out the outside light and also blocked the view of the audience.

"What are they doing...?" Inside the stone wall, Ash looked around, somewhat puzzled. "...Using rockfalls to create a restricted area to limit movement?"

He looked at the fossil pterosaur.

"I didn't expect you to have such a high level of tactical awareness!"

Even a brief test was enough to tell that Pikachu's speed is its strongest point.

In such a confined space, with no room to dodge, Pikachu's high-speed movement ability is greatly limited.

The only option is to confront them head-on.

In a head-on collision, the advantages of size and strength will come into play, and my Pikachu... wait?

Doesn't seem too scared?

Offstage, the audience was completely stunned by the fossil pterosaur's feat.

They stared in disbelief at the stone arena that had sprung up out of nowhere.

"Wow, that's amazing... they're building walls directly from rockfall!"

"As expected, being sent flying earlier was just due to carelessness, right? This is true strength!"

"That boy is locked up inside, is he in danger?"

"I don't think so," one of the tourists said. "Didn't they say he punched Sabrina? Then that boy doesn't seem like a simple guy either!"

As someone who had the misfortune of being turned into a doll by Sabrina, he knew all too well how terrifying that superpowered queen was.

The boy who could push Sabrina to that point... could never fall here!

Inside the stone walls, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Ash stood in the space enclosed by the giant rocks, watching the Aerodactyl slowly approach from the opposite side.

"Pikachu, watch out for its attack direction, we're attacking from the front—"

Xiao Zhi hadn't finished speaking.

"thump!"

A muffled thud.

Ash's voice abruptly stopped.

He was stunned.

Pikachu was also stunned.

The Aerodactyl, which had been exuding power and overwhelming aura just moments before, was now lying prostrate on the ground, completely devoid of any aggressive posture.

With its wings folded, limbs outstretched, and head bowed, the whole body presented a soft posture that seemed to say, "You know, it's not good for us to fight and kill each other."

The most outrageous thing is that its face, which usually looks fierce and menacing, is now covered with a smirk.

That smile clearly conveyed the message: Let's talk this out.

After all, the opponent's physical body can shatter rocks. If it is enchanted and really uses Iron Tail, wouldn't I be beaten to the ground?

".......Pikachu?"

Pikachu, who was originally preparing to unleash a powerful attack on the other side, turned its head to look at Ash.

What's the situation?

Weren't we supposed to be fighting? Why are you lying down?

But Xiao Zhi also looked completely bewildered.

"...Huh?"
