Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

It was not damaged by the impact.

But, just as even the most indifferent person has a warm heart.

It is only its carapace that is hard; its internal organs are not as hard!

The immense impact penetrated through the armor!

The pangolin felt an irresistible force pierce through its shell and slam into its soft internal organs, almost suffocating it instantly.

Immediately, the force continued its momentum, crushing the ground beneath it!

It was actually pinned to the ground by that punch!

Dust settled down in a flurry.

Pikachu nimbly leaped back, landing steadily a few steps away. It shook its slightly numb little fist and smacked its lips.

This little mouse...it's really a bit rough on the hand!

It savored the feeling of striking the hard carapace.

Hard as iron or stone?

Yes, it's really not bad!

"A pangolin!"

Xiao Ming was so shocked by what he saw that his voice even changed.

A Pikachu that specializes in physical training?!

Who taught you to raise your child like that?!

"Ku, Jia..."

In the deep pit, the pangolin staggered, using its trembling paws to claw at the broken earth and rocks at the edge of the pit, and slowly and laboriously crawled out.

It felt as if it were enjoying Miss Skirt's services in bed.

But suddenly Miss Skirt turned into Groudon using Flying Slam, almost crushing her life.

Having witnessed Ash's strength, Xiaoming no longer dared to harbor any illusions.

Although he didn't know how to deal with it.

But as a Kanto native, when in doubt, the best course of action is to go all out!

"Sandshrew, go all out! Use Earth Shatter without holding back!"

"Kuga!"

The pangolin forced itself to stay alert and suppress its physical discomfort.

It raised its trembling claws and, with its last bit of strength and will, frantically poured all the remaining ground-attribute energy in its body into the tips of its claws.

Immediately, they dared not delay for even a moment.

It fiercely plunged its claws into the cracked ground in front of it!

He poured all his strength into it, making a desperate gamble!

Click click click—Boom!

With the infusion of pangolin.

Centered on it, the ground emitted a teeth-grinding cracking sound, and vicious fissures suddenly burst open like a spider web, rapidly spreading in all directions and devouring the solid ground in its path, revealing a terrifying destructive power!

"They've even gained control over the Earth's fissures!"

Xiao Gang's expression turned serious.

"To be able to learn this skill truly requires... truly requires perseverance!"

Ground Crack, a physical skill with ground-based attributes.

It is extremely difficult to master.

Without talent and rigorous training, it's simply impossible to use it.

In this way, the benefits are extremely high—as long as the hit is successful, the battle is basically over!

"Indeed... he's really stubborn!"

Xiaoxia also murmured a sigh.

She never expected that someone would go to such lengths to master this skill.

Seeing the dark crack approaching its feet like a gaping maw, Pikachu immediately took a swift step back, easily creating distance.

Click click click!

The crack stretched forward and drew closer, while Pikachu leisurely retreated and dodged.

Approach, then retreat.

It chases, it flees.

Gradually, the crack expanded with increasing difficulty, and the speed slowed down significantly. In the end, it could only reach less than half a meter before touching Pikachu's toes, and like a exhausted dragon, it drooped down helplessly.

Yes, strong skills often come with risks.

No matter how powerful a skill is, if it misses, the damage is zero.

The accuracy of ground cleavage, which has an extremely long wind-up and obvious intention, is...

Pikachu just demonstrated it, and it's extremely worrying.

After all, seeing you unleash such an obvious ultimate move, wouldn't anyone run far away?

As long as the distance is far enough, the impact of the ground fissure will naturally not be covered.

If someone is strong enough to cover everything... that would be truly impressive.

But then again, if you can cover everything and are that strong, you could easily end the battle with a stomp of your foot, right?

all in all.

This is a skill with extremely low cost-effectiveness to learn, and it is not recommended for beginners.

But on the other side, Ash's eyes lit up.

They stared intently at the pangolin's powerful pounding motion as if they had discovered some treasure.

Gather your strength, raise your hand, and then slam your fist into the ground, right?

Great skill!

He learned it!

"I'm so satisfied," said Xiao Zhi.

"Pikachu, let's end this battle!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu clenched its fist and slowly approached.

Having unleashed its ultimate attack, the completely exhausted Sandshrew could only watch helplessly as a fist grew larger and larger.

......

"By the way, don't you think Ash won very easily?"

Xiaoxia watched as Pikachu cleanly and decisively knocked down Sandshrew with a single punch, then turned her head and whispered to Xiaogang beside her.

"really."

Xiao Gang also looked thoughtful.

"But upon closer reflection, we did overlook something."

"Which point?"

"That means that although this person has a ninety-eight-game winning streak, he is located in Hua Lan... cough cough, I mean this area."

Xiao Gang, who has high emotional intelligence, put it another way.

"These trainers are generally not very strong. The strongest we've seen is around the level of a badge."

Yes, for some well-known reasons, this area is filled with either novice trainers full of enthusiasm who have just set off, or seasoned foodies who have long since given up their dreams and are focused on enjoying life.

“And don’t forget,” Brock paused, looking at Ash in the arena, “the two badges in Ash’s hands are not two badges in the usual sense.”

“I went all out at the time, but he still won.”

"If that's what you mean, then I'll also..."

Xiaoxia nodded as she recalled the battle at her family's Cerulean Dojo.

Leaving aside the first two matches, at least the last one is.

Most gym leaders will go easy on challengers to some extent, testing them more than fighting them.

But Ash is different. In both gym battles he experienced, the gym leaders went all out.

Therefore, his current strength far surpasses that of a second-dan!

......

Seeing that the pangolin had completely lost its ability to fight.

The confidence and fighting spirit on Xiaoming's face seemed to vanish in an instant.

He staggered a step, almost falling to the pangolin's side, and only after confirming that it was only temporarily unconscious did he dejectedly put it back into the ball.

"The 99-game winning streak... is over..."

He muttered to himself, staring blankly at the Poké Ball in his hand, as if he couldn't accept the fact.

Then, he suddenly raised his head and stared intently at Ash and the Pikachu.

"Impossible... How could this be!"

Xiao Ming's voice was a little hoarse.

"How is your Pikachu so strong!"

"My pangolin underwent special training for several years... rain or shine, before it dared to venture out of the mountains!"
