The reason is also very simple: to increase Lucario's attack power. Don't forget, Lucario's ability is Justified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diantha: \"Karen is too miserable, being played in the palm of Dark Ash's hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cynthia: \"Don't blame Karen; blame Dark Ash for being too cunning. Firing Aura Sphere was just to trick Houndoom into using Dark Pulse. How could Karen have thought of that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bruno: \"The only good news is that Aura Sphere is a special attack move, and Lucario's attack boost doesn't have much of an increase on Aura Sphere. Otherwise, Karen would be even more miserable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aura Sphere hit Houndoom straight on the waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attacked on the waist, Houndoom let out a painful wail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I've been played,\" Karen said with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, how could Karen not know she had been tricked?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it looked like both sides' Pokémon had been hit by one move, the actual situation was completely different. The Dark-type Dark Pulse had limited damage to Lucario and instead increased Lucario's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Fighting-type Aura Sphere could cause double damage to Houndoom, and Ash also deliberately let Lucario hit Houndoom's weak waist with Aura Sphere. This was definitely prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this exchange, she had lost a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Karen is Karen after all, and she quickly adjusted her state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent the previous situation from happening again, Karen no longer let Houndoom use Dark-type moves, but chose to use Fire-type moves to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the bombardment of flames, Lucario clearly couldn't hold on anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this moment, Ash suddenly spoke up, pretending to be curious and asking: \"Is Ms. Karen the Fire-type Elite?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen didn't understand Ash's intention at first and answered obediently: \"I am the Dark-type Elite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're the Dark-type Elite?\" Ash pretended to be surprised, \"Because Ms. Karen kept letting Houndoom use Fire-type moves in the battle, I thought you were the Fire-type Elite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth is revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, how could Karen not know that Ash was mocking her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, the wisest choice at this time would be to continue letting Houndoom use Fire-type moves to finish off Lucario as quickly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Karen didn't choose to do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dignified first-ranked next-generation Dark-type Elite, how could she endure such mockery?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I don't use Fire-type moves, then I won't use Fire-type moves. Who's afraid of whom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Houndoom, use Crunch, bite him to death for me!!!\" Karen gritted her teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lance: \"It can be like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lance really learned something new this time. To be able to use such a method to make the opponent change their battle style, this is too heaven-defying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bruno: \"Karen, you're confused!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is too unable to withstand mockery. Dark Ash just trash-talked a few sentences, and Karen couldn't take it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh, women are women; their psychological endurance is just poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen: \"If Dark Ash said in a battle that your fighting skills are just crap, and told you if you have the ability, show it in the battle, what would you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bruno: \"Then I would definitely beat him up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen: \"Heh heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flint: \"Write it down, write it down. I learned a little battle trick today. I can use it next time I battle Ms. Cynthia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cynthia: \"I thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Volkner: \"Let's not, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is Flint not beaten miserably enough by Cynthia?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he really mocked Cynthia in a battle, Volkner really couldn't imagine Flint's fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know if he would be able to see tomorrow's sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>140: Serena's advance, Ash, I'm coming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most taboo thing for a Trainer is to lose their cool. Once they lose their cool, no matter how strong their strength is, they won't be able to display it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh, Karen still has a long way to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen: \"Who exactly is the 9-year-old child?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This old-fashioned remark made Karen's mentality explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was actually being lectured by a 9-year-old child that she still had a long way to go. Is there any justice left?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lorelei: \"There's no help for it. Who told you to be broken by Dark Ash in just a few sentences? Your psychological quality indeed needs to be strengthened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing one's cool in a battle because the opponent mocked the Dark-type Pokémon for a sentence or two is not acceptable. Lorelei also felt that Karen needed to control her emotions well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen: \"Isn't it because I care too much about the reputation of Dark-type Pokémon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon: \"This is an era where the strong are respected. If you can become the only Champion specializing in Dark-type Pokémon, that's better than anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The winner is king, the strong are respected. Trash talk and such are all empty; victory is the most real thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen: \"Champion? You mean if I become the Champion of the Kanto and Johto regions, Dark-type Pokémon will be very popular?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon: \"Isn't that obvious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door to Karen's new world was opened. That's it, she decided she would become the Champion of Kanto and Johto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lance: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big Aura Sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucario hadn't been idle at Professor Oak's laboratory either; its Aura was increasing day by day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aura Sphere hit Houndoom fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment the Aura Sphere exploded, Lucario rushed to Houndoom's side again. It condensed a bone club with Ground-type energy and started a bombardment on Houndoom's waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Lucario's attack power had been raised to the limit. Houndoom's level was high, but it couldn't hold on to Lucario's attacks anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a sad cry, Houndoom lost the ability to battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the fallen Houndoom, reason returned to Karen's body, but it was too late; the match was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being played around by a 9-year-old child, this was something Karen hadn't expected at all before the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she finally understood why Chairman Goodshow, Bruno, and Lorelei had such high evaluations of Ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ash was a person who was good at using his brain, strong in strength, and great at raising Pokémon. The most terrifying thing was that his brain was also good. If such a Trainer couldn't make it, then there would be no justice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she lost the battle, Karen's favor for Ash didn't decrease. When parting with Ash and the others, Karen even gave Ash a Pokémon Egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a Pokémon Egg of love, you have to take good care of our baby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen deliberately said in an ambiguous tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your baby?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Misty and Erika couldn't take it anymore. If it weren't for the huge gap in strength, they might have already taken action against Karen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalos region, Vaniville Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I say, Serena, when are you going to make a move again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grace couldn't take it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being timid and shrinking back, this didn't look like her daughter at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you don't dare, then I will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grace snatched the teleporter from Serena's hand and activated it instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the two appeared in a Kanto town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ash, hello, I am Serena's mother, Grace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grace greeted Ash enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello Ash, hello Misty, hello Brock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serena's face was already red at this moment. She never expected her mother to be so ruthless, actually using the teleporter without her consent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was really.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh, it's really embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She's here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Misty's vigilance had risen to the limit at this moment. The thing she was worried about had finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serena, her biggest competitor, had appeared after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Serena.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were competitors, Misty still had a big picture. She didn't give Serena a cold shoulder, but instead greeted her enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Misty's initiative, Serena quickly integrated into the team.\u003C\u002Fp>",1297,"2026-06-16T23:48:07.192Z","2026-06-17T00:04:53.823Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a7e53ffe3ed682f8993b607f652fa1a8155280ef5ee5938f0735f971965eb92f","dual-ash-comparison-serena-is-too-blessed-chapter-157","dual-ash-comparison-serena-is-too-blessed-chapter-155",367,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdual-ash-comparison-serena-is-too-blessed-cover.jpg"]
