Chapter 110

After obtaining the Wheel Badge, Ash continued toward the location of the fourth badge.

On the way, Team Rocket came to cause trouble, but basically they didn't do anything major.

"Damn, how did this brat become so alert?"

Xiaocilang rubbed his arm that was slightly trembling from being shocked by Pikachu, his face full of resignation. Their operation this time was practically useless; as soon as they appeared, they were repelled by Pikachu's electric shock, and even the traps they had set up were all seen through by Ash.

"I'm afraid there's no chance like before when we caught Pikachu anymore, meow!"

Meowth wore a bitter expression; last time they took advantage of the brat sending out Pikachu to battle, they snatched Pikachu away, and because of that the brat kept an eye out, constantly on guard against them, wanting to capture Pikachu, the difficulty has risen sharply.

A deep sense of frustration welled up in his heart.

"The brat has Wave Guiding Power; he can sense our position."

Wuzang wore a thoughtful expression, her sharp eyes glinting as she seemed to consider how to break the stalemate.

At the same time, they looked toward the knowledgeable Xiaocilang.

However, Xiaocilang just shook his head, indicating he too had no idea; that person is a psychic, seemingly with no way to respond.

At that moment, on the other side, Ash met Xiaoying.

That was what the Citrus Gym Leader Ayi told him; just now there was a strong Trainer here who described the battle situation, and Xiaoying immediately felt that the Trainer the Gym Leader mentioned, Ash, was exactly the opponent he had been seeking.

Plus the referee and the other spectators also said the same about Ash's battle here.

Xiaoying increasingly felt that if he could battle Ash, his Golbat would surely become stronger.

After asking them about Ash's whereabouts, he immediately chased after, expending great effort, and only with the help of the two people and a cat did he find Ash's group.

"Wait, I heard you're the Trainer the Gym Leader Ayi spoke of; they say you're a very strong Trainer—want to battle me?"

Fearing Ash might not accept the battle, Xiaoying said he too was preparing to earn a Badge to join the Orange League, and he was also a Reverse Attribute Master.

He released his Golbat to show it to Ash and company.

When Golbat entered the field, it wore a gold belt, which was the prize Xiaoying won in a Poké Ball competition held in his hometown.

Moreover, he had tactics; his Golbat was trained to be very strong, able to overcome attribute disadvantages, so when he battled others he could use that disadvantage to confuse opponents, making them think they had the upper hand, then carelessly lose to his own Golbat.

"Reverse Attribute Fighting Style?"

Ash looked at Xiaoying with a strange expression.

"You actually play this style in front of me?"

【Xiaomao: Black Satoshi wouldn't also want to try Reverse Attribute Fighting Style, would he?】

【Brock: I feel that's the case.】

【Ma Zhishi: Perhaps hearing that the opponent specializes in this style, Black Satoshi also wants to give Reverse Attribute Fighting Style a try!】

"Charizard?"

Xiaoying looked at the released Charizard, raised an eyebrow; this Reverse Attribute Fighting Style would be used on him—could it be that this Charizard, like his Golbat, is often trained in Reverse Attribute?

"Are you planning to battle my Golbat with your Charizard?"

Ash nodded in confirmation.

"Golbat, Water Gun!"

The battle began, and Xiaoying had Golbat make a move.

Golbat swiftly sprang into action; only seeing its sturdy body lean slightly forward, its gold belt glinting dazzlingly in the sunlight. Immediately, from the hole in the center of the belt, a strong stream of water shot out like a fountain, straight at the opposing Charizard.

Charizard's wings closed together, forming an impenetrable barrier that completely blocked Golbat's Water Gun attack; water splashed everywhere, temporarily obscuring Charizard's silhouette.

Charizard's body was merely pushed back a few steps, then it regained its footing.

"Roar!" Charizard let out a deafening roar, its wings suddenly spreading wide like a soaring eagle, instantly breaking Golbat's attack rhythm.

"No effect?"

Seeing this, Xiaoying felt a surge of surprise and reluctance; he had thought Golbat's Water Gun would cause Charizard some trouble, but he hadn't expected the opponent's defense to be so excellent, easily dispelling Golbat's attack.

"Dragon Claw!"

Fire Dragon heard the words, its body stalled, quickly flew over, Fire Dragon's claws flashed with cold light, directly aiming for the Mosquito Coil Swimmer's vital point.

Mosquito Coil Swimmer had just finished using Water Gun when it immediately encountered the Fire Dragon's "Dragon Claw" head-on.

Although it exerted all its strength, with both arms raised in front to block this fatal blow, in the face of the Fire Dragon's immense power, all efforts appeared utterly feeble.

The Mosquito Coil Swimmer was blown backward by the huge impact, tracing a long arc, finally barely adjusting its posture and landing steadily, but the wounds on its body were clearly visible, indicating it had suffered considerable damage.

Its resistance to blows is not bad; no wonder it earned the golden belt.

Xiao Jian's eyes lit up; the Mosquito Coil Swimmer, despite taking the Fire Dragon's Dragon Claw, suffered little harm.

What that gym leader said is absolutely correct!

This Ash is truly strong; no wonder he left that gym leader unable to fight back.

Xiao Ying's heart was filled with worry.

"Ice Beam!"

The Mosquito Coil Swimmer emanated a chill; the golden belt, eroded by the cold, gradually became frosted, gleaming with an icy light, emitting a ray surrounded by a bitter chill.

"If that is the case."

Ash raised his head to look at the Fire Dragon, "Then we'll use a jet of flame."

The Fire Dragon suddenly spread its wings, spewing forth a fierce jet of flame from its mouth.

The fierce jet of flame strongly suppressed the Mosquito Coil Swimmer's Ice Beam; the two collided in midair, producing a large amount of white smoke.

Xiao Ying frowned and shouted in time, "Hold on!"

Regardless of the jet of flame landing on its body, the Mosquito Coil Swimmer knelt on the ground, then stood up unwillingly.

"Ice Punch."

The Mosquito Coil Swimmer leapt up, gathering all its strength into its right fist, imbued with bitter ice, and swung out with maximum power, striking straight at the Fire Dragon.

"Flame Punch." Ash shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, the Fire Dragon suddenly burst into fierce flames on its body, the flames like a raging inferno, enveloping its body.

Then, all the flames gathered on its right fist, and the Fire Dragon, like a burning meteor, swooped down at extreme speed, throwing a punch that collided with the Mosquito Incense Swimmer's Ice Punch.

At the moment of impact, a strong burst of air, a deafening 'bang', and the 'hiss' of ice being scorched by fire erupted.

The field was instantly shrouded in thick white smoke, the mist produced when flames and ice intertwined and melted.

The Mosquito Incense Swimmer had been slammed to the ground by the Fire Dragon's Flame Punch, lying helpless and unable to fight.

The Fire Dragon landed steadily on the ground, its tail still blazing with fierce fire.

Ash walked over to the Fire Dragon, gently stroking its head, his face lit with a victorious smile.

【Xiaomao: Black Satoshi is just like Bai Ash, still a Reverse Attribute Master.】

【Ash: What's wrong with being a Reverse Attribute Master? As long as you can win, it doesn't matter if you are one or not.】

【Da Wu: Sure, that's very Ash, still the familiar Ash.】

【Ai Lan: Black Satoshi's Fire Dragon looks normal in size; it hasn't undergone advanced Evolution like Bai Ash's, and it's excellent in all aspects.】

【Ji Ke: It's about the same as the Fire Dragons in Fire Dragon Valley; later, when we get to Fire Dragon Valley, it probably won't be at the bottom.】

【Brock: No way, the Fire Dragon has been training with Black Satoshi all along, its combat power has greatly increased; maybe even the Fire Dragons inside Fire Dragon Valley can't beat it.】

【Ji Ke: Impossible!】
