Just watch, Cloyster will instantly KO Pikachu!\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Not a single spectator in the stands was optimistic about Ash. It was no wonder, considering Ash was using an \"ordinary\" Pikachu.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[While the audience chattered away, the battle on the field had already begun.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lorelei had the first move. Unlike her battles against other challengers, this time she didn't rashly let Cloyster launch an attack.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"Cloyster, Shell Smash.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Shell Smash is a double-edged sword type of move; it lowers both defenses to gain a boost in both offensive stats and speed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Once Shell Smash was used, Ash understood that this battle would end quickly. Either Pikachu would be swiftly eliminated by Cloyster, or Pikachu would secure a lightning-fast counter-kill.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"Pikachu, Volt Tackle.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Since the opponent had already adopted a desperate stance, he naturally had to respond. Volt Tackle was the most powerful move Pikachu had mastered at this stage.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Like Shell Smash, Volt Tackle is also a double-edged sword type of move; it sacrifices HP to reach the move's maximum power.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pikachu on the battlefield began to run. As it sprinted, lightning transformed into armor, covering its entire body. Carrying high-voltage current, Pikachu charged toward Cloyster without hesitation.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"I won't let you succeed. Ice Beam.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lorelei also felt the threat from Pikachu and hurriedly ordered the now Shell-Smashed Cloyster to launch an attack.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The cold beam shot straight at the opponent. Not only that, but Lorelei also ordered Cloyster to create ice blocks along the path to hinder Pikachu's advance.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Useless, useless, all of it was useless.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Ice Beam couldn't hit Pikachu, who was sprinting at top speed. As for the ice blocks Cloyster created, they shattered the moment they touched Pikachu.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The power of Volt Tackle far exceeded Lorelei's expectations.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Bang!!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The two Pokémon collided heavily. Because of Shell Smash, Cloyster's pride-and-joy defense had vanished, and the moment it collided with Pikachu, it was sent flying over ten meters away.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pikachu also suffered the recoil from Volt Tackle, gritting its teeth as it endured the pain on the spot.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"This is the first time I've seen a Pikachu with such outstanding destructive power, but it's over.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lorelei shouted coldly: \"Icicle Crash.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A giant icicle descended from the sky, rapidly crashing down toward Pikachu under the force of gravity.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"My Pikachu isn't that easy to defeat.\" The timing of the Icicle Crash could only be described as perfect; it left Pikachu no room to escape. If it had been anyone else, they would likely have despaired by now.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[However, Lorelei's opponent today was Ash.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"Pikachu, Iron Tail.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Under the gaze of the spectators, Pikachu split the giant icicle in two.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[In an instant, the entire arena went silent.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[After successfully shattering the icicle, Pikachu launched another attack on Cloyster.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Thunderbolt.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Golden lightning converged into pillars of electricity, surrounding Cloyster completely. In the face of the astonishing electric pillars, Cloyster was so powerless that it could only watch as it was consumed by them.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The match was over, taking less than three minutes in total. But what no one expected was that the one who didn't last three minutes wasn't Ash, but Lorelei.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[At this moment, everyone firmly etched Ash and Pikachu into their hearts.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[After the match, at Lorelei's invitation, the three of them went to her villa.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"Truly, heroes are born in youth; it's been a long time since I've lost so miserably.\" Lorelei shook her head and smiled bitterly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It was her miscalculation of Pikachu's strength that led to the total loss of the match.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"Miss Lorelei, why did you choose Icicle Crash at the critical moment instead of Icicle Spear?\" Ash didn't respond to Lorelei's comment but asked the question that had been puzzling him.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"Icicle Crash has more power, and Icicle Spear is unstable; sometimes it hits twice, sometimes five times. The variation is too great and uncontrollable.\" Lorelei explained her thoughts at the time.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"??????\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"But isn't the ability of Miss Lorelei's Cloyster Skill Link?\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ash was speechless. A dignified member of the Elite Four didn't even know her own Pokémon's ability.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"Skill Link? What's that? Isn't my Cloyster's ability Shell Armor?\" Lorelei looked confused.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ash then remembered that Professor Elm's latest research on abilities was still in manuscript form and hadn't been published yet, so it was understandable that Lorelei didn't know Cloyster could have other abilities.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Under Ash's explanation, Lorelei suddenly realized that Cloyster didn't just have one ability. Its common abilities were Shell Armor and Skill Link, and there was also a hidden ability, Overcoat, which made it immune to sandstorm, powder, and spore moves.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"In other words, if my Cloyster uses Icicle Spear, it will definitely hit 5 times?\" Lorelei said with pleasant surprise.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A 2-hit Icicle Spear is trash, 3 hits is barely passable, 4 hits is a god-tier move, and 5 hits is the god of gods.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"Why not try it and see?\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[After continuous experiments, Lorelei discovered that Ash was absolutely right; her Cloyster indeed hit 5 times every time it used Icicle Spear.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"That's absolutely amazing!!!\" An excited Lorelei pulled Ash into her arms.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[No, no, I can't breathe!!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It felt completely different from hugging Misty. Is this the charm of a mature woman?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lorelei: \"Hehehe, I'm still quite charming. Even Dark Ash has fallen under my skirt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lance: \"Do you have no shame? How old are you? Still fighting a young girl like Misty for a man? Do you have no shame left?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lorelei: \"Heehee, Lance, are you panicking? This time I learned about Skill Link from Dark Ash, and I don't know what I'll get next time. So, are you wanting me to stay away from Dark Ash? Hmph, I won't!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glacia: \"You're never too old to learn. By the way, have you noticed that Dark Ash is very good at using Pokémon abilities in battle? Misty's Kingdra's Rain Dance + Swift Swim combo was also put together by Dark Ash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Korrina: \"And also, making Lucario actively eat Dark-type moves to boost its power with Justified.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maylene: \"That didn't work. I secretly tested it with my Lucario, and it had absolutely no effect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Oak: \"Um, is there a possibility that Maylene's Lucario doesn't have the Justified ability?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maylene: \"Ah? Lucario has other abilities?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon: \"No way, hasn't everyone learned about their own Pokémon's abilities? I thought everyone arranged suitable tactics in battle based on their Pokémon's abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raihan: \"??????????? How come I didn't know about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steven: \"I didn't know either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diantha: \"No one ever told me either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lance: \"No wonder we can't beat Leon; it turns out this guy was hiding a trick!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cynthia: \"I only know that my Garchomp's ability is Sand Veil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon: \"I'm really defeated by you all. Isn't this common sense?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lorelei brought out all her Pokémon and humbly asked Ash about their respective abilities.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dewgong, Hydration, a good hand for battling in snowy weather; a snow-based strategy can be designed for it.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Piloswine, Snow Cloak, also a member of the snow team.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Jynx, Forewarn. It is originally a Psychic-type Pokémon and can also learn Future Sight. Forewarn ability + Future Sight, all the opponent's moves will be predicted.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lapras, Water Absorb. Water-type moves not only don't cause damage but also restore HP. During chaotic battles, when teammates use Surf, they can also cover Lapras.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ash pointed out the abilities of all the Pokémon to Lorelei and shared his understanding of those abilities with her without reservation.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\".｀ I'm truly so grateful to you.\" Now Lorelei really had nothing to repay him with, so she could only offer herself.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lorelei grabbed Ash's face and planted a heavy kiss on it.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"Take this as a reward.\" Lorelei blinked and said charmingly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\"Hey, what are you doing?!\" Misty was anxious.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[She was still there, and Lorelei had already started getting handsy with Ash. Wasn't this taking her too lightly?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brock: \"Miss Lorelei's kiss, woooo, I also want Miss Lorelei's kiss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Misty: \"Don't dream about it, it's impossible in this lifetime!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ash: \"Misty, why are you so angry? Did something happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did something happen? Can't your eyes see? Did something happen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Misty wished she could press Ash's head into the ground right then and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalos Region, Aquacorde Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's over, it's over, it's over. Lorelei has joined the scramble for Dark Ash. You have no chance, Serena.\" Grace said with a pessimistic tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean I have no chance? Why don't I have a chance? Is my charm not comparable to Lorelei's?\" Serena was unconvinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You?\" Looking at Serena's flat chest, Grace shook her head and said decisively, \"The gap is too big. If I were Dark Ash, I would definitely choose Lorelei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\" At this moment, Serena had reacted, \"Even so, the one who's finished isn't me, it's the me in the parallel world.
