Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Seeing that both the man and the rat were stunned and did not make a move, the fossil pterosaur secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Roar... Roar roar..."

It quickly spoke.

The sound was much quieter than before; roughly translated...

Um... there were a lot of people just now, and it barked so loudly. It was its fault, it didn't know any better.

The main thing is that the atmosphere is right there, and it wouldn't be impressive if I didn't shout it out.

But that's a professional habit, not something I'm targeting you with.

Now it has sincerely apologized.

Can we... just let it go like this?

If you don't hit me and I don't hit you, let's call it a draw and then go home and find our own mothers, okay?

After saying that, Aerodactyl secretly raised one eye, carefully observing Ash's reaction.

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Pikachu: "..."

Pikachu lowered its fist, tilted its head, and looked at the Aerodactyl with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

"Pikachu...?"

Aren't you supposed to be very strong?

Why did they give up before even starting?

When the fossil aeroda met Pikachu's confused eyes, it blushed.

Although it was hard to tell from its face, its shifty eyes and slightly twitching lips clearly showed its current predicament.

"Roar……"

It's not... not as strong as you think...

Xiao Zhi blinked and subconsciously took two steps forward.

“Wait a minute,” he crouched down to look the pterosaur in the eye, “it wasn’t that strong?”

"Didn't you fight the champion before, going through nearly four hundred rounds?"

The fossil pterosaur was taken aback.

This person can actually understand what it is saying?

Although I don't know how they did it, that makes things easier!

If we can communicate, things will be much easier!

It nodded quickly.

"Roar……"

There was indeed a major battle, but... it didn't last more than four hundred rounds.

"Not quite four hundred?" Ash pressed, his brow furrowing slightly. "But it should be close, right? Over three hundred rounds? You must be really good!"

The fossil pterosaur's expression visibly froze.

Its gaze began to wander, first looking to the left, then to the right, and finally fixing on the ground as if studying the patterns on the stones.

"Roar……"

The volume decreased by half an octave.

Less than three hundred.

Ash frowned.

"two hundred?"

The fossil pterosaur lowered its head even further, its claws unconsciously scratching at the muddy ground.

Pikachu jumped forward, raised a fist, and waved it in front of it.

"Pickup!"

How much exactly?

See that mouse's fist, as big as a sandbag?

The mouse wants you to tell the truth!

The fossil pterosaur shrank its neck in fright at Pikachu.

It hesitated for a while before slowly extending its paw, first raising one finger, then raising a second one after thinking for a moment.

"Twenty rounds?" Ash's tone relaxed a bit. "That's not bad. To fight the champion for twenty rounds shows that you're still very strong—"

After all, the martial arts master he knew was only capable of holding out for three moves.

If he can fight for twenty rounds, he's roughly as strong as seven martial arts uncles!

Seeing Pikachu and Ash's renewed fighting spirit, Aerodactyl quickly shook its head and gestured with its claws in the air again.

A little too much.

It's not twenty, it's two.

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Pikachu: "..."

Two rounds.

And you also have to take the turn when the fossil pterosaur made its own move.

In other words, it only used one move, and was then instantly killed by Metagross.

The battle ended in just two moves.

Xiao Zhi opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He felt that his outlook on life, his worldview, and his entire understanding of the word "legend" had been impacted like never before.

It's like you've heard of a peerless master who prepared 360 tactics to deal with an opponent, but the opponent was defeated as soon as they met.

"Then..." Ash began with difficulty, pointing to the huge crater outside, "Where's that crater? Wasn't it supposed to be caused by your battle?"

The fossil pterosaur got up from the ground, dusted itself off, and had an expression that said, "I can explain this."

It was indeed it that caused this crater.

After I made the first move, I immediately flew into the sky and gained air superiority.

That was so cool, so elegant, and then it got hit by a comet punch.

It carries steel-based energy, is precision-guided, and has ridiculously high power.

It means I can handle it myself, otherwise... that pit would definitely be huge!

Ash and Pikachu fell silent as they looked at the proud Aerodactyl.

Xiao Zhi sighed.

"So, what they mean by Mr. Daigo temporarily setting aside his strength in front of you, that's probably true too..."

Before he could finish speaking, the fossil pterosaur's eyes suddenly lit up, and it nodded repeatedly, slapping its chest with its claws.

Really!

This is true!

Ash and Pikachu were both taken aback.

Who would have thought? It seems the fossil pterosaur actually had a moment of glory that allowed the champion to temporarily back down?

Could it actually be a glass cannon?

Extremely high damage output, but fragile?

The fossil pterosaur cleared its throat and began to tell its story vividly.

At that time, it had just woken up from a long period of hibernation and its mind was not quite clear.

As you should know, in their time, the relationship between humans and Pokémon wasn't very good.

Basically, once we meet, it's a fight to the death; either you knock me out, or I knock you out.

If you don't knock the other person out, you'll be knocked out yourself; this is a survival rule ingrained in your bones.

So when it groggily opened its eyes and saw a blue-haired human with a Metagross monster appear in the cave...

Its instincts directly take over its body.

Without any regard for the consequences, they went up and started an earthquake!

That guy, no exaggeration, definitely has his strongest skill!

"And then? And then?"

Pikachu and Ash both looked excited.

The fossil pterosaur swished its tail triumphantly.

As you know, caves are inherently fragile structures, and with the passage of time, the supporting rock pillars have long been eroded away.

Its signature move, the earthquake, was unleashed...

The entire cave began to collapse.

With a deafening roar, large chunks of rock crashed down from above, filling the air with dust and sending fragments of rock flying.

The scene was spectacular and incredibly grand.

The other side reacted quickly, immediately setting up a protective shield and then retreating with the little blue-haired boy.

It seized the opportunity to flap its wings, break through the collapsed rock layer, and soar into the sky, successfully gaining air superiority.

As for what happened next... well, you'll find out.

Xiao Zhi: "..."
