Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master

"Flower, flower!"

As soon as Gyarados started to move, Venusaur's energy was fully charged, and Solar Beam was launched as if it were an instantaneous attack.

boom--!

The massive explosion abruptly interrupted Gyarados's Dragon Dance.

"Now, Venusaur, use Sweet Scent!" Brock shouted to Ash.

"From now on, I'm going to fight back, Ash!"

A sweet scent immediately emanated from the large flower on Venusaur's back, drifting towards Gyarados.

"Huh~?"

"Ow!"

The fool was so engrossed in the fragrance that he immediately forgot about the attack he had just suffered.

It even tried to stick its head over and get closer to Venusaur's back to smell it.

"Idiot, you're still fighting? Keep using Flamethrower."

Although Ash's Gyarados wasn't very bright, it finally reacted after Ash called out to it.

It continued to open its blood-red maw and unleash flames.

"Use the vine whip to fling the sand from the ground into the opponent's eyes, and then use Solar Flare again!"

Venusaur moved very quickly, whipping up two piles of sand from the ground with its Vine Whip and scattering them at Gyarados's eyes.

The rain dragon immediately began to wriggle around in discomfort, and since it was in a sandy area with no water to wash its eyes, it was in great pain.

Just then, Venusaur's Sunfire will strike.

"Gyarados, calm down and follow my commands!"

Ash's voice always brings peace to Gyarados.

Gyarados knows it's not very bright, but because of that, it understands that all it needs to do is wholeheartedly obey its trainer's commands without overthinking.

"Use the Great Explosion directly in front!"

Instantly, the powerful flame energy and the intense sunlight on the field collided, triggering another massive explosion.

"Venetian Leech Seed!"

A seed carrying vines shot out from the smoke of the explosion and accurately wrapped around Gyarados.

"Ow~"

The vines instantly glowed red, and Gyarados's stamina was gradually absorbed by them.

"While Venusaur is using the sleep-inducing powder now."

That Gyarados was not only large in size but also had strong defense; it was incredibly tanky and could withstand two Solar Beams without any problems.

With no other option, Xiao Yong had to resort to these underhanded tactics. The sweet scent he used earlier was also to reduce Gyarados's evasion at this moment.

However, Ash wouldn't just sit idly by and wait to die.

"Gyarados, use Hurricane at close range to blow away the Sleep Powder!"

This is the only Flying-type move that Gyarados, being a Water/Flying-type, can learn.

A gust of wind immediately swept around Gyarados, forming a tornado-like column of wind centered on its body.

The hypnotic powder, along with the Leech Seed, was blown far away. Even when the Leech Seed was forcibly pulled out, Gyarados still suffered damage.

"You can use storms like this?" Xiao Yong looked at the scene before him with surprise.

Generally speaking, it's not possible, but although it makes Ash's Gyarados look stupid, oh, I shouldn't call it "sacred as ever".

Because of their simple minds, their use of skills is also very pure, and they have extremely strong control.

However, the storm also caused considerable damage to Venusaur.

It was actually swept from the sand towards Gyarados's location by a storm.

This is also thanks to the fact that the Sand Terrain cannot provide Venusaur with enough grip.

"Perfect opportunity! Gyarados, use Ice Fang on your lower left side!"

"Venusaur, Solar Beam!"

Gyarados's gaping maw gleamed with fangs as it bit down, instantly striking Venusaur in the waist.

"flower--!"

The Gyarados tore at its body several times before finally slamming it onto the sand.

It's probably because the sand here is softer, so the damage from being thrown around is not as high as on a rocky surface.

Venusaur mustered its last strength and used Solar Beam to splatter Gyarados's face before collapsing.

Being hit at close range by such a powerful skill, Gyarados couldn't withstand it.

The referee raised both teams' flags.

"Gyarados and Venusaur are both unable to battle!"

Chapter 166 Victory!

"The second half of the match was exceptionally exciting and intense. Surprisingly, both Xiao Yong and Xiao Zhi suffered defeats in their first battle!"

At this moment, Xiao Yong switched to his next Pokémon, "Go, Gengar!"

It seems he really intends to save his trump card for last.

"Chief Xiaoyong has chosen his powerful Gengar, a veteran that has defeated countless opponents. What kind of surprises will it bring us!"

The commentator got excited as soon as he saw Gengar enter the arena, and the entire audience cheered along with him.

"Looks like a pretty strong Gengar..."

"But as expected, it's decided that you'll be the one to go on stage, Dragon!"

Ash's lineup for this Orange League Challenge is the same lineup he used during his travels in the Orange Islands.

This final match was also a test of his Pokémon training over this period of time.

"Ash sent out a Lapras that is rarely seen, and this Lapras is quite large."

"Choosing Lapras, a Water-type Pokémon, on a sandy terrain doesn't seem like a wise choice, Ash!"

Indeed, the absence of water here generally restricts the movement of dragons.

But this does not include Ash's Lapras.

"Lapras uses Water Gun to attack Gengar."

"Gengar, get out of the way!"

The effects of the clear weather had long since worn off, and Lapras immediately opened its mouth, condensing a stream of water that it fired at Gengar.

This Gengar is also a nimble little chubby creature, constantly dodging back and forth.

Meanwhile, the dragon continued to unleash water guns and chase after it, engaging in a chase and an attack.

Unfortunately, Lapras's water gun attack couldn't hit Gengar until Gengar slipped on the sand wet by the water gun.

"Now's the time, use the Dragon Freeze Ray."

"I've been waiting for you here, Gengar, use Sucker Punch!"

"Kou Jie?"

But to Xiao Yong's surprise, Gengar's surprise attack failed to launch.

He immediately realized what was happening and looked towards the field.

"So that's what Ash is planning!"

The reason Gengar slipped was because the entire Sand Terrain had been soaked by Lapras's Water Gun.

Lapras's Ice Beam was aimed at the ground and did not attack Gengar at all.

"My God, the entire arena has turned into an ice field under Lapras's Freeze Ray!"

With this layer of ice, the dragon's movement speed increased instantly.

Ash's Lapras is very good at ice skating!

"Riding the dragon, use Dragon Dance!"

"Oh~, oh~" The dragon horse immediately twisted its neck and began to dance a mysterious dragon dance.

Lapras is also a dragon, so Ash must stack another Dragon Dance before attacking.

Unfortunately, the dragon, which is usually used as a mount, is indeed somewhat lacking in attack power.

"Gengar, quickly use Shadow Ball to interrupt Lapras's Dragon Dance!"

But now it's an ice field.

The dragon can move at high speed on the ice while twisting its body, making it impossible for the Shadow Ball to hit it.

Soon, Chenglong finished his dragon dance.

"Use ice picks!"

Lapras immediately glided behind Gengar and landed five Ice Spikes in quick succession.

"Giggle, giggle~"

Caught off guard, Gengar was forced to retreat repeatedly by the ice spikes, its short legs unable to stop it from slipping on the ice.

But then Xiao Yong gave Xiao Zhi an unexpected command.

"Gengar uses Share the Pain!"

As Gengar boasted on the field, a black mark appeared in its eyes and flew towards Lapras, then both Pokémon lit up with a red light.

Their injuries had become exactly the same.

"Damn it," Xiao Zhi lamented, realizing he had really misjudged the person.

"He has a very sunny appearance."

What's wrong with Xiao Yong?

Pokémon trainers should bring smiles to each other's faces through battles, so why do they always use such cheeky skills?

"Both sides are running low on stamina. Gengar, use Drain Punch!"

"Dragon, get out of the way! Use the water cannon!"

But Gengar once again demonstrated its agile, chubby nature, slipping its feet to dodge the Water Gun while its Absorb Punch successfully hit.

Boom! The dragon collapsed.

"Dragon has lost its ability to fight!"

The image of the dragon on the big screen immediately went dark.

After all, it's a mount and it's already quite well made. Its purpose in appearing is to turn the arena into an ice arena.

The dragon ride is already very well done.

"You did a great job, get some rest, Chenglong."

Ash praised Lapras's Poké Ball, and immediately sent out his next Pokémon.

"I choose you, Greatsword Demon."

Let's prepare to take on Xiao Yong's ace, bring him a smile, and throw water chestnuts one more time!

The Greatsword Demon reappeared, but this time it still carried some subtle electric currents.

It seems the paralysis hasn't ended yet.

"Greatsword Demon..."

"Tsk, tsk!" The stun guns responded to Ash with a determined look.

Xiao Zhi immediately understood, "Okay, then let's continue using the Secret Sword: Thousand Layer Waves!"
