Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

After holding out for what felt like an eternity for a mere second, the pale green light shield finally let out a mournful cry, shattering like broken glass and dissipating into the air.

But the destructive power of the final impact was eventually exhausted by this absolute defensive skill, and its final momentum was completely depleted.

The Golden Gyarados's massive body swayed, and the wounds on its neck and body that had been scratched by the Frozen Fangs burst open due to the immense load, with the seeping blood dripping into the murky water.

It was breathing heavily, its scarlet dragon eyes fixed on the blue Gyarados in front of it, which was also briefly stunned by the release of its ultimate attack, burning with rage and ferocity.

--friend.

—You can't move now, right?

The Golden Gyarados's malice began to surge, and it became somewhat reckless.

However, the Golden Gyarados was also in poor condition at the moment, so it did not launch an attack immediately.

"Hold On" increases the defensive effect of energy and the success rate of consecutive uses as proficiency improves.

Currently, the Golden Gyarados's Protect ability is only at level 1.

Defended.

However, it is not completely unharmed.

[Hold on] Many factors need to be considered before it can be effectively implemented.

For example, you could switch to Pikachu to protect at level 2.

It probably won't get hurt by Gyarados's attack, but it will be knocked away.

Holding on only increases defensive capabilities; it doesn't fix you in place or increase your weight.

—It's blocked!

Xiaoxia's heart sank suddenly, and a huge sense of loss and helplessness surged up instantly.

But it was soon replaced by an even stronger fighting spirit.

blocked?

so what!

This Gyarados, like her, has given it its all without holding back!

Although this Gyarados isn't Misty's usual trump card, it's still a Pokémon from the gym, meaning it's known Misty since childhood.

This Gyarados watched her grow up from a baby.

Xiaoxia saw the other person's battered state and the brief but real stiffness!

This is the opportunity!

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Xiaozhi's forehead.

The burden of holding out was far greater than imagined, and the state of the sea rogues deteriorated rapidly.

But when he looked at the girl standing at the command post opposite him, a smile spread across his face as he began to praise her:

"That was... a powerful blow, Xiaoxia."

His voice came through the hum of the venue.

"but……"

Ash's arm swung down suddenly, the sound like a drawn sword, carrying the chilling intent of ending something:

"The battle is not over yet!"

"Sea Rogue—"

"Solve it! Destroy the light!!!"

In any case, the cost and burden of holding on are definitely lower than those of the ultimate impact.

The Ultimate Impact and Destructive Beam have similar side effects, often causing the user to be unable to move for a short period of time.

The blue Gyarados is now completely immobilized.

This is a perfect opportunity to deliver a fatal blow; we can't wait for the blue Gyarados to regain its mobility.

Therefore, those minor skills are unusable now; if you want to use them, you have to use your ultimate move to decide the outcome in one strike.

Ash naturally chose to destroy the light.

Oh, and there's one point I need to emphasize.

In theory, Gyarados can learn and use 10 Volts to attack other Water-type Pokémon.

However, in practice, no trainer would typically do this.

The power of lightning is not so easy to control.

Using 10 volts underwater often results in electrocuting yourself as well.

In addition, Water-type Pokémon are inherently vulnerable to lightning... Using 10 volts could easily result in injuring the enemy by a thousand while also injuring yourself by eight hundred.

Of course, Ash's Gyarados hasn't learned Thunderbolt yet.

Brock can only teach Ash some commonly used and versatile skills at the moment—such as Protect, Detect, and Haze.

In any case, the dirty tricks that can only be used with four skills in the game are not feasible in practice.

Especially the black fog.

The black fog can remove enhancement effects.

Destructive reinforcement is much simpler than continuous reinforcement.

So-called enhancement strategies often only have one strike power, and then they can be countered.

High-speed flow is usually used in conjunction with enhanced flow.

A high-speed, enhanced Pokémon is not easily hit by [Mist].

Chapter 43 Xiaoxia: Can't you be a little more accommodating to me?

The golden Gyarados's crimson pupils suddenly contracted to needle size, and its scarred golden scales emitted a sharp, metallic scraping sound.

Go to hell!

—Little brother!

It suddenly raised its ferocious head, and the extremely unstable orange-red destructive energy in its mouth collapsed and boiled at an unprecedented speed.

“Roar, ahh ...

It's no longer a breath.

It is no longer a fluctuation.

It was a crimson torrent formed from the condensation of a powerful force.

Destroy the light!

emission!

Like a punitive spear swung by a lava giant, it instantly tore through the humid air.

Wherever it passed, water vapor evaporated and light distorted. With immense power, it crashed into the blue Gyarados, which was frozen in place by the final impact.

Time seemed to be stretched out and frozen by this blow.

Xiaoxia's orange hair was pulled straight back by the violent blast of air.

She watched helplessly as the crimson beam of death approached her companion inch by inch, the crimson light reflected in her pupils.

Theoretically, you can use a Poké Ball to recall a Pokémon and immediately admit defeat.

But by the time Xiaoxia realized what was happening and wanted to do it, it was too late.

The beam attack is the fastest attack skill.

Her lips moved, but no sound came out.

The ending she had long anticipated had finally arrived, yet it still weighed so heavily on her that her heart stopped.

boom----------

The crimson beam of light completely engulfed the massive body of the blue Gyarados.

The terrifying energy explosion instantly vaporized a large area of ​​the pool water. The scorching white steam mixed with the shock wave exploded wildly in a ring, crashing violently against the surrounding energy barriers and producing a teeth-grinding cracking sound.

The entire venue shook violently, and the overhead lights flickered.

The blinding light and steam slowly dissipated.

The blue Gyarados lay collapsed in the center of the now shallow and murky pool.

Its enormous body was covered with large charred marks, its scarlet dragon eyes were tightly closed, and it had completely lost consciousness.

Only the ripples slowly spreading beneath it testified to the earth-shattering blow that had just occurred.

Most Pokémon are quite resilient.

This blue Gyarados was specially trained by the gym and has excellent abilities in all aspects.

Although he was severely injured.

But it's not that easy to kill.

This blue Gyarados was carefully selected by Misty, and it's about the same level as Ash's golden Gyarados... or even slightly stronger.

Dead silence.

The only sounds were the pattering of water droplets dripping from the broken roof and the heavy panting of the Golden Gyarados after its exhaustion.

The Golden Gyarados is still just a newbie.

To have achieved this level is already the result of his exceptional talent and tremendous hard work.

Of course, the system assistance provided by Yidiandian is also indispensable.

After all, the system brought an inconspicuous but incredibly powerful ability—one certificate becomes a permanent certificate.

Ash's Pokémon will never regress.

Growth is growth; it won't regress or weaken because of a lack of practice.

"..." Xiaoxia stood still, motionless.

She looked at her companions who had lost their ability to fight, then slowly raised her head and looked at the boy opposite her who was also panting, but still stood upright in the command position.

half an hour.

She then let out a soft breath.

His voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly, and carried a subtle complaint that even he himself was unaware of:

“…You…”

"Can't you... give in to me a little?"

The moment the words left her mouth, Xiaoxia herself was stunned for a moment, then looked away somewhat awkwardly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

She's not usually the type to say things like that.

I never expected her to speak to Ash in that tone.

—How could I unconsciously whine and complain?

Xiaoxia feels extremely embarrassed.

At this moment, Xiaoxia thought of her three older sisters.

She knew exactly what her three older sisters were thinking—to find a husband to marry into their family.

And when I think about how I and Xiaozhi are only 10 years old...

No!

This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed!

Xiaoxia started to daydream, thinking that this kind of thing should at least wait until she was an adult.

Even if you don't wait until adulthood, 10 years old is too early.

They must be at least 14 years old!

Then, we're sure to have a sweet and loving relationship!
