Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Gyarados's thick tail instantly caught the rushing water, and with a "whoosh" sound, it swung up suddenly, drawing a sharp, light blue arc in the air. With a loud "bang," it directly knocked Arbok heavily to the ground.

But Arbok reacted extremely quickly, rolling after landing.

With a "whoosh," it burrowed underground again.

"You've been poisoned by Arbok! Your Gyarados is about to lose consciousness! Surrender now, little girl!"

Musashi announced triumphantly.

poison?

Gyarados glanced down at the purplish-black wound on its side and sensed the abnormality in its body.

Yes, it really worked...

But is it really just this small amount of poison?

This is still less than what it was forced to consume every day when it was still a Magikarp!

Back then, all I could do was splash around; I couldn't even fight back!

Recalling its painful past, Gyarados's mouth uncontrollably emitted a dazzling white light.

It's hard to say that the desire to stop eating wasn't one of the driving forces behind its evolution.

In a fit of rage, it aimed at the nearest burrow and unleashed a destructive beam of energy that had been brewing for its life!

"boom--!!!"

The ground violently churned and cracked, with mud and gravel scattering like raindrops.

Arbok and Weezing were jolted out of the ground, looking disheveled.

But at this moment, Gyarados also fell into a stunned state after using the move.

"Now! Dissolving solution!"

"Sludge attack!"

Musashi and Kojiro seized the opportunity, and two elemental attacks, accompanied by the sound of air being cut, struck Gyarados squarely.

A hissing sound of corrosion rang out as dark purple toxic energy spread across its hard scales.

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu understood, leaped up, and burst forth with dazzling golden lightning, unleashing a wide-range Thunderbolt that completely enveloped the two Pokémon!

Meanwhile, the Gyarados, which had just recovered, was already staring intently at Arbok, the creature that had bitten it earlier and left it with bad memories.

Another powerful and heavy water jet tail!

"Bam—!"

With a muffled thud, Arbok was slammed into the ground, seeing stars, and unable to move.

Overconfidence triggered a second time!

Gyarados's momentum surged once again.

"Roar--!!!"

The roar caused the surrounding pebbles to tremble slightly. Brock, who had originally intended to attack, silently put away the Poké Ball and took out some healing items.

He always felt he could use it.

"Double gas, run!"

However, Gyarados was incredibly fast. It opened its massive jaws and delivered a precise Crush that struck first.

Then came another water jet tail!

A smooth combo, and even the Double Gas Shots fell down.

The third overconfidence trigger!

Gyarados's aura was like a burning flame, its ferocity overwhelming!

came back!

They're all back!

"It's time to end this!" Xiaoxia waved her hand triumphantly, "Hyperbole Ray!"

A beam of light, several times thicker than usual, shot out from Gyarados's mouth, hurtling towards Team Rocket with earth-shattering force.

"This feeling is awful!!!"

Amidst the familiar wails, the Rockets vanished like a star in the sky.

He got a pentakill.

At this moment, Gyarados seemed to have been reborn, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression, and its scales shimmered with a dangerous light in the sunlight.

It never, ever felt it.

Such immense power!!!

"Roar--!!"

Who else?!

Gyarados's crimson eyes scanned the battlefield, finally settling on Pikachu, the only one of the two still standing.

Still brimming with fighting spirit after its fierce battle, it unleashed its ferocity, impatiently slapping the ground with its thick tail, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu keenly sensed the hostile gaze.

But it remained completely calm, even leisurely patting the dust off its body with its little paws, and then, in an extremely human-like manner, beckoned to the enormous creature.

"Roar--!"

Upon seeing this, Gyarados's eyes gleamed even more fiercely, and a terrifyingly bright white light began to gather again in its gaping maw.

This is the precursor to the Destructive Death Ray!

But Pikachu moved along at a leisurely pace.

It's coming out! It's about to come out!

Gyarados trembled all over, feeling that it was about to unleash its ultimate attack!

It turned its head, its scarlet eyes fixed on Pikachu's movement, making a final aim.

Pikachu strolled leisurely up to a person and grabbed his trouser leg.

But that doesn't matter!

It's a Gyarados! It's about to take off!

"Brilliant!"

A familiar voice, tinged with surprise and admiration, suddenly rang out.

The man bent down, easily picked up Pikachu, and placed it on his shoulder.

That voice...?!

Unpleasant memories flooded my mind.

Gyarados's boiling blood seemed to freeze instantly, and its frenzied mind was as if doused with a bucket of ice water, suddenly becoming a little more sober.

It stiffly, almost step by step, raised its heavy head, its gaze moving upwards little by little along the person's trousers and shirt, until finally meeting a pair of eyes—Xiao Zhi's eyes.

There was no fear or reproach in those eyes, but rather... anticipation!

Come!

Shoot here!

Push harder! Let me see your full power!

But Gyarados tensed up.

The imposing aura that had just been overwhelming vanished in an instant, like a balloon punctured by a needle.

It withered.

I was so scared I withered.

The light in his mouth dimmed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"No! Don't turn it off!"

Seeing this, Ash's face was filled with undisguised disappointment. He even leaned forward, as if he really wanted to experience the power of the Hyper Beam firsthand.

Once reason returned, Gyarados immediately shut its mouth, then moved closer, grinning foolishly.

"roar~"

What kind of talk is this, attacking the elder brother?

How could it possibly do that?

It just... just wanted to show its older brother how bright the light was.

Brother, if you really want to see it, I'll find a secluded spot later and throw up for you alone—no! I'll throw up ten times if you want!

It'll be even brighter than the last one!

"Pikachu~"

Before Ash could speak, Pikachu patted Gyarados on the head.

There's more to life than just fighting and killing.

Ah Long.

Actually, I prefer your rebellious self from just now.

28. Granted!

Xiao Gang silently put away the medicine.

So, being so pragmatic, it seems we won't need to use him...
