Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

Her figure flickered, appearing and disappearing as if blending into the light, showcasing the eerie nature of the ghost type.

That's the problem with Ghost-type Pokémon.

Apart from a few solid Ghost-types, most other ethereal Ghost-types can be said to have built-in invisibility.

This was during the day; it would be even harder to spot in the dark at night.

Although this card... oh... although this Pokémon's move list doesn't say anything about it.

But it does have this ability.

laugh.

Don't say I'm talking nonsense.

"The battle begins!" the referee announced, waving his flag.

"Momo, Will-o'-the-Wisp!" Ash gave the first command.

A glint of light flashed in the Dream Demon's eyes, and several cold, dark purple flames appeared out of thin air, silently drifting towards the Beautiful Flower.

Lijia responded calmly: "Beautiful flower, petal dance."

The beautiful flower stirred at the sound.

Like a top dancer, they began to spin and leap.

...This is an elf who loves and excels at dancing.

Its red flower on its head and the leaf skirt beneath it danced, and countless gorgeous petals shot out with the dance, not only accurately intercepting the attacking will-o'-the-wisps, but also stirring up a fragrant and dangerous storm of petals in the arena.

boom--

The explosion begins—

It was a fierce confrontation.

At the same time, fine poison powder, hypnotic powder, and paralyzing powder were quietly mixed into the petals, spreading with the airflow, intending to take control of the entire area.

There is just one small problem.

Although Misdreavus is a Pokémon with a sense of smell, it can actually live without breathing.

The effects of various powder-based skills are very poor.

Similar types include Geodude, Magnemite, and other inorganic Pokémon.

These types of elves have no bodily fluids and do not need to breathe... Most toxins have little or no effect on them.

The most outrageous of them all are creatures like the Lava Snail.

Elves whose body tissues are entirely composed of ultra-high temperature magma will not be poisoned.

No toxin can withstand temperatures of thousands of degrees after entering their bodies.

Even when these powders are in a dispersed state, they cannot get close to them and will be destroyed by the high temperature of the air.

"Magic Flame!" Ash immediately changed his strategy when he saw that his ranged harassment had been broken.

The dream demon opened its mouth and spat out a vortex of blazing fire with a special fluctuation, attempting to break through the barrier of the petals.

The difference between magical flames and will-o'-the-wisps is probably that magical flames are more controllable.

What's the difference between something like a flying leaf dagger and a magic leaf?

One can be guided.

One cannot.

However, the dance of the beautiful flower became more and more urgent, and the barrier of its petals became thicker and heavier.

Although Rika did not give any orders, Belle was clearly preparing other tricks.

This is a combo technique developed through daily training.

"Now, beautiful flower, sweep everything away—leaf storm!" Rika shouted, seizing the opportunity.

Although generally speaking, Leaf Storm uses leaves.

However, Rika has also been trained and can use petals.

Her Leaf Storm is a technique based on the Petal Dance.

The advantages are: faster activation and greater power.

The downsides are: greater burden and higher difficulty.

The beautiful flower suddenly stopped spinning, and the accumulated power burst forth.

[Charging] is a common tactic used by Rika, but she doesn't use the accompanying [Ejection] much.

The word "swallow" is not used much either.

She usually uses the word "rooted".

Therefore, the power of [charging] will be used in other moves to enhance their effects.

A green storm, even larger and more violent than the previous Victoire, rose from the ground, engulfing all the petals, powder, and broken vines and leaves left over from the previous battle, forming a destructive energy vortex that crushed towards the Misdreavus.

Making good use of terrain features is also part of a Pokémon's strength.

Faced with this unavoidable all-out attack, a glint of inspiration flashed in Ash's eyes: "Mew, unleash your most powerful magic fire on the vines on the ground!"

This command alone makes it impossible to guess what it's about.

However, dream monsters have the ability to communicate mentally.

Dream Fairy: I understand!

"Mah—!" The Dream Demon stopped trying to fight against Leaf Storm and instead poured all its power into it.

A thick pillar of fire shot straight down onto the ground, where the vine remains left by the vine monsters had been baked dry by their energy.

boom--

The magical flames instantly ignited the dry vines on the ground. Fueled by the powerful airflow generated by the leaf storm, the fire spread wildly, swirling and rising, transforming in the blink of an eye into a spectacular and terrifying fire tornado.

Following the direction of air rotation caused by the leaf storm, the flames evaporate the air, forming a vortex in the opposite direction.

This is an extension of the controllability of magical flames.

The fire tornado of the Dream Demon and the green leaf storm of the Beautiful Flower collided violently.

scoff-

Flames and plants intertwined and annihilated wildly, with rising steam and the smell of burning filling the entire venue.

The absolute advantage in attributes was evident at this moment, as the fire tornado devoured the leaf storm with overwhelming force.

Ignite all the broken vines, leaves, and petals in the night storm.

As the fire tornado grew larger, its overall structure loosened, and then it crashed violently into the location of the beautiful flower.

"Jasmine..." The beautiful flower had nowhere to hide; the fire tornado was too big.

A green energy layer appeared around her.

It means to [hold on].

Pidgey used to use this trick, but now Bellossom is using it too.

However, there is now a small problem.

The duration of a hold is generally not very long.

However, the fire tornado will obviously not last long.

Under the continuous baking of the fire tornado, Bellossom had to forcibly extend the duration of [Hold On].

However, this not only puts enormous stress on the body, but also increases energy consumption.

"Mama?" The Dream Demon looked at its opponent, who was enveloped by a fire tornado, and did not increase its firepower.

Dream monsters do not kill.

She might enjoy playing pranks at most.

"Mah-mah!" Seeing that Bellossom seemed to be struggling, Misdreavus began to actively suppress Tornado without Ash having to say anything.

boom--

The fire tornado was forcibly dispersed due to the interference of the dream demon.

"Mo—" With the fire tornado suddenly disappearing, the beautiful flower suddenly lost its reason to continue.

His body was slightly burned by the flames, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and he finally collapsed helplessly onto the charred ground.

"Belle is unable to battle, Misdreavus wins! Therefore, the winner is the challenger, Ash from Pallet Town!" the referee announced loudly.

"We won!" Ash clenched his fist.

how to say?

To put it more nicely, this was the easiest war in history.

The unpleasant way to put it—okay, we won't say it.

“Mah…” The dream demon slowly descended from mid-air.

Although they won, they were covered in soot and dust, their bodies stained with black ash.

Ash quickly ran to Misdreavus's side and squatted down, his eyes full of concern.

He reached out and gently patted the dust off the dream demon's body, then carefully combed her slightly messy hair.

"Mwah~~" Feeling the trainer's gentle touch and praise, Misdreavus narrowed its eyes.

She rubbed comfortably against Ash's palm, letting out a happy yet slightly coquettish cry.

"Good job, Momo! That was a fantastic play!" Ash's voice was full of praise. "Look, you're all covered in pudding now."

"It's okay, I'll wash it for you in a bit."

Ash didn't think too much about it; he just wanted to clean Misdreavus—that's a perfectly normal thought, right?

But these words didn't quite ring a bell for the Dream Demon.

Dream Fairy: Help me take a bath?

Dream Fairy: Help me wash myself clean?

Dream Fairy: ...

The dream demon's thought process is overheating.

The dream demon has turned into a circle-eyed creature.

Xiao Zhi: ...

……

……

(...I didn't write too much about the attack and defense in the battle. I think it's enough to know roughly how it was fought, right?... Otherwise, it would feel really weak... I can't write several chapters about the battle scenes (???))

Chapter 105 The Giant Paraster Didn't Say Everything

Rika gracefully stroked the Poké Ball that the beautiful flower had returned to.

"You worked hard, you danced beautifully!"

She then walked slowly toward Ash, a genuine smile of admiration on her face.

"Well done, Ash." Rika's voice clearly echoed across the battlefield.

"Whether it was Pidgeotto's aerial suppression or Misdreavus's final fire tornado, it demonstrated the deep bond and outstanding adaptability between you."

Lijia made polite remarks.

She had a badge in her hand without her noticing.

It was a badge with a silver-white center and eight hexagonal shapes of different colors around it.

"This rainbow badge is the recognition you deserve."

Rika solemnly placed the badge into Ash's outstretched palm.

"Looking forward to your performance at the Quartz Conference."
