Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Some audience members on stage had already guessed what had happened.

"This is a feint!"

"Using crab claws to dig a hole in Sai Fuhao's blind spot and launch a surprise attack!"

"Great acting!"

Hearing the audience's shock.

Pikachu stood beside Ash, its two little paws on its hips, its tail held high, and its round face showing an undisguised smugness.

"Pikachu!"

Of course!

This move is the essence of what Little Pokémon learned when he was outmaneuvered by Onix at Pewter City.

First, draw the opponent's full attention, then deliver the fatal blow!

"Our attack isn't over yet! Kingler Crab, give it another hit—"

Xunzi quickly raised her hand.

"Sai Fuhao, use the Gold Rush!"

Sai Fuhao shakily got up from the ground, his golden face still dizzy from being slapped. But when he heard the words "gold rush", he first felt a pang of pain in his heart, and then remembered what Xunzi had just said.

Double the reimbursement! Double it!!

It instantly seemed to be injected with adrenaline, and its two small golden arms suddenly stretched out to the sides.

It's about to unleash another blazing, rolling golden wave!

"Now!"

Xiao Zhi shouted loudly.

Suddenly, the giant crab raised its right claw and hurled it at Sai Fuhao with incredible precision!

A golden light shot out from the tip of the giant crab's claw!

In that instant, Sai Fuhao's pupils suddenly contracted.

It saw clearly what the light looked like.

That was a gold coin.

A round, shiny gold coin that reflects a dazzling light in the sunlight.

It spun and tumbled, like a die thrown by the hand of fate, drawing an arc in the air that was impossible to look away from.

The sheen, the worn edges, the familiar teeth marks...

That's it! It's definitely Old Eleven!

Sai Fuhao's head turned almost instinctively toward the gold coin, his gaze fixed on the golden trajectory in mid-air, and his two little hands reached out unconsciously.

eleven!

Its eleventh!

It was dug out from deep within the ruins along with the ninth and tenth artifacts, and it was covered with their memories!

It remembers that day.

The sun was shining brightly, the soil was damp, and the three gold coins lay huddled together beneath the sand, like three brothers huddling together for warmth...

"Don't look at that!! Look ahead! In front of you!"

Kaoru was furious at her son's lack of ambition.

But her reminder came too late.

In the brief moment that Sai Fuhao was distracted, the giant crab's massive body accelerated once again.

A blinding energy was brewing within its pincers.

It's the Destruction Ray!

The giant crab poured all its remaining energy into this attack.

He then pressed himself down hard.

Using this propulsion, the giant crab charged towards Sai Fuhao like a cannonball!

"100,000 horsepower—!!"

The giant crab was enveloped in the afterglow of the destructive beam. All its weight, all its speed, and all the anger and fighting spirit it had accumulated while being beaten before were concentrated in that head-on collision!

boom! ! !

A dull thud was heard.

Before Sai Fuhao could even turn around, his entire body was spun and flew away like a leaf caught in a whirlwind.

It flew over half the field and slammed hard onto the ground.

Gold coins rained down.

Sai Fuhao lay sprawled on the ground, his eyes swirling like mosquito coils in his pupils.

They're simply unable to fight!

The referee's flag was raised high.

"The Tyrant Crab is incapacitated! Therefore, it wins!"

A deafening cheer erupted in the stadium, more intense than any of the previous cheers.

After all, that 100,000 horsepower super-powerful death ray just now scattered a lot of gold coins onto the audience.

Kona easily dodged a gold coin that fell from the sky from the stands and nodded.

Did they realize that the opponent's Pokémon's preferences had become an advantage...?

Excellent! This ability to focus on details is truly perfect for Pokémon battles!

.......

In the center of the arena, the giant crab, its carapace covered in scorch marks and scratches left by the electric ball and the gold rush, was breathing heavily, its two large pincers trembling slightly.

Although it won the game, the cost was extremely high.

The evolved, heavy body makes every bit of stamina even more precious, not to mention facing two consecutive high-intensity attacks.

"Thank you for your hard work, Giant Kingler Crab."

"Get some rest, you've done a fantastic job."

"Cough..."

Ash raised the Poké Ball, and a red light brought Kingler back to its original position.

The red light faded, and it was contemplating its next Pokémon.

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu had already jumped in front of Ash, its round face full of eager excitement.

Let the mouse go! Let the mouse go!

I watched the Kingler Crab having so much fun backstage, and its Iron Tail has been itching to fight for a while now!

Xiao Zhi was taken aback.

"Although I still have my doubts about whether you know Iron Tail..."

"But fine, since you're so eager to go."

"Pikachu!"

Great!

Wait a minute? What do you mean by having doubts about the iron tail of the hamster?

.......

Ignoring the seemingly ordinary Pikachu, the audience, having already divided up the coins and feeling they had gotten their money's worth, began to whisper among themselves.

"By the way, what have you decided to send Kaoru next?"

"Someone with her kind of temperament would probably use a Pokémon with tiny diamonds, right? Something gem-type, sparkly, that would suit her perfectly."

"Isn't Diancie the one who truly matches our identities?"

"It shouldn't be Diancie, otherwise Daigo would probably have spawned here already."

"It's not impossible for a villa keychain to be covered in keys!"

Amidst the murmurs of speculation, Kaoru expressionlessly pulled out her third Poké Ball.

A red glow burst forth.

There were no dazzling special effects, no overwhelming presence, and not even any gold dust.

A small, light green Pokémon with a large horn-shaped head jumped out of the light.

It landed opposite Pikachu.

Her slender body stood straight, her two leaf-shaped arms slightly outstretched, and her round, black eyes blinked innocently.

"Sizzle~"

"This is... a trumpet bud?"

The entire venue fell silent for three seconds.

Then it exploded.

"No way?!"

"Why did she send Bellsprout?! Aren't those Pokémon easy to catch anywhere?"

"The art style is so different!"

"...And Pikachu versus Bellsprout?"

The audience members whispered among themselves, discussing the matter animatedly.
