Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

After traversing an arc, we arrived at the side and rear of Babu Tuba!

The claws flashed blue again as Charizard attacked its weakest point—its hindquarters.

A sneak attack! A backstab!

All in one go!

Nemo's heart sank.

Although she was prepared when she saw Ash send out Charizard, she obviously did not expect the opponent's movements to be so smooth!

Seeing Babu Tubo still rubbing his face, Nemo made a quick decision!

"Respond with electrical discharge!"

Since the line of sight is obstructed, there's no need to strive for precision; just use area-of-effect attacks to cover the entire body!

Nemo is no ordinary person!

With the trainer's clear instructions, Babuto's entire body surged with electricity as he closed his eyes!

The electric arcs crackled and leaped wildly across its body, even the mud and water clinging to its fur sizzled and emitted wisps of white smoke.

"Babu—!"

With a sharp shout!

The current spreads outwards in concentric circles from it in all directions!

The Charizard that had just reached out its claw was struck squarely by the electric current that rammed into it!

Electricity danced across his body.

The Charizard's entire body stiffened, and its muscles involuntarily twitched!

But Charizard, being a formidable opponent, is not one to suffer a loss.

Since it has already taken this hit, it can't let it go unpunished!

Gritting his teeth and enduring the numbness, he forcefully used the electric Charizard to send Babuto flying!

They managed to salvage the situation by force!

"You've got some skills, Nemo!"

Ash was amazed by Babu's quick thinking and maneuvering.

"Same to you!"

Nemo also admired Charizard's dark will.

She raised her hand to wipe away the sweat, her chest rising and falling slightly, but her eyes burned with even stronger fighting spirit.

"But Ash, shouldn't we be finishing our warm-up around that time?"

She knew the true strength of this Charizard!

It's definitely not limited to that!

You're right.

Xiao Zhi took a deep breath, his eyes burning.

"In that case... Charizard will show them our true strength!"

"Use the raging fire!!!"

These words caused the audience to erupt in cheers once again.

"Here it comes! Here it comes! It's Charizard's signature manual blast!"

"Signboard? Wasn't its signboard a sneak attack?"

"Sneak attacks are standard practice, okay? But this Blazing Inferno is really outrageous! It's supposed to be a special ability, but it can be manually triggered!"

"Every time I hear Ash say 'use Blaze,' I feel like he's cheating. Seriously, what's the principle behind it?!"

There was no time for the audience to discuss it further.

"Roar!!!!"

The Charizard let out a long roar, and the flames on its tail suddenly surged!

Even the scales all over its body shimmered slightly, and the heat wave spread outward from it, baking the ground beneath its feet until it turned white!

Although it once again drew gasps of amazement from the audience, the dragon itself was not entirely satisfied.

After all, its perception had been diminished since it dealt with that traitor.

Although I can still hold onto this anger, it feels like something's missing...

Tsk!

Charizard added another layer of rage to its already intense anger, and the intensity of its Blazing Fire increased even further!

"Now!" Ash's command and Charizard's movement came in sync: "Flamethrower!"

"Roar--!"

Flames roared out!

The fire-breathing dragon's entire body was dented by half an inch due to this blast!

This time, the pillar of fire was much thicker than before.

Even if it were less of a pillar of fire, its size would be no different from a moving wall of fire in Babu Tubo's eyes!

Even the referee couldn't help but take a few steps back!

After all, this Charizard is notorious among the referees for being petty!

Nemo's pupils reflected the flames, yet she remained unmoved.

"A counter-wave!"

She raised her hand, her voice full of excitement, her fingers spread open and then suddenly clenched into a fist.

"Then we'll come too!"

As an honorary Kanto native, she had long since integrated into this region, and had even learned the full extent of the boisterous spirit of the people of Taiwan!

"Lightning Double Strike!!!"

Babu Tubo responded and lowered his body slightly.

Its body's electrical energy was pushed to the limit, and golden and blue electric sparks wrapped around its claws, emitting a high-frequency buzzing sound.

bass!

With a soft thud, it crashed head-on into the wall of fire with the force of a thunderbolt!

"boom--!"

Lightning and fire devoured each other.

Charizard continuously increased its fire output, attempting to overwhelm its opponent—

Meanwhile, it was already glancing at the ground beneath Babu Tuobo's feet out of the corner of its eye, contemplating whether it should prepare some underhanded tricks.

Just as it was pondering, a white light suddenly appeared at the point where lightning and flame met!

next moment.

A figure, its entire body shimmering with crystal, suddenly burst forth!

Babu Tubo actually tore a crack in the flames!

The lightning bolt, carrying its explosively powerful body, slammed into the Charizard's chest!

"puff--!"

The Charizard let out a painful roar.

Not only was the entire dragon blasted away by this attack, but it also plowed a long scorch mark into the ground.

The electric light crackled and danced across its surface, constantly eroding its strength and nerves!

The audience gasped in unison.

"It tore through the jet flames?!"

"Are all electric mice this terrifying?!"

"What kind of monster is that Babu Groundhog?!"

"Wait! Look at what it looks like—"

All eyes were focused on the center of the arena.

Suddenly, a layer of crystalline, iridescent light membrane covered Babu Tubo's body.

A dazzling crown adorned her head, making her entire silhouette translucent and magnificent, like a living creature sculpted from gemstones!

"This is......."

Ash paused for a moment, his gaze quickly sweeping over Babuboo, and then he recognized the unusual state.

"...too crystalline?"

"Ash, you really are very knowledgeable!"

In Nemo's hand, the Poké Ball belonging to Babu was radiating light.

In the center, a dazzling bead is embedded!

"This is the highly crystalline system from the Parthian region! It's one of my most prized possessions!"

She wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, her breathing slightly rapid, but her smile grew even wider.

"It might be a bit unfair to use this against you... but Ash, I really want to have a full-on battle with you!"

"So, Babu and I won this round!"

"Baboo!"

Babu Tubo also shook his arms, and the light emanating from his crystallized body became even brighter.

Although Nemo's statement was somewhat discriminatory.
