Chapter 118: Squirtle, ever more skilled in using Wave Guidance!

"Is this the strength of the Crystal League Champion?"

Yongci felt increasing pressure; the opponent's Snorlax was the most unique he had ever seen, very different from previous Snorlax.

"Ditto has lost battle capability, Snorlax wins!"

The announcer shouted loudly.

Ash took the first point.

"Onix, come out!"

Yongci recalled Ditto and sent out a mighty Onix.

"Snorlax, come back!"

Facing Onix, Ash still sent out the Onix killer—Squirtle.

This is an important match venue, and the opponent is still strong, so we won't recklessly use counter-type battles.

"Kame!"

Accompanied by Squirtle's calm and powerful cry, the specially styled glasses were gently removed and thrown to Pikachu beside Ash.

"Pika!"

Pikachu caught the glasses, allowing Squirtle to battle at ease.

The brown turtle shell shone with a steady luster in the sunlight, giving Ash a sense of stability.

Squirtle turned its head and made a gesture toward Ash and Pikachu.

"Evil Wave Guidance."

Squirtle's entire body emanated an indescribable aura, an evil intent wave originating from deep within its heart, yet under Squirtle's control it became orderly and powerful.

"Roar~"

Facing the Evil Wave Guidance released by Squirtle, Onix seemed caught off guard, a flicker of fear crossing its eyes, and the Dig move it had prepared to use thus hesitated.

Seeing this, the announcer slammed the table, rose excitedly, his voice almost penetrating the entire arena: "Onix has been hit by Squirtle's Evil Wave Guidance; it's afraid!"

"Afraid!!!"

"Come on, Squirtle!"

Xiaoxia and Fulala shouted together.

Squirtle's entire body surged with Wave Guidance.

Professor Oak sat in the stands, his gaze like a torch; it seemed Squirtle had mastered the essence of the Wave Technique.

"Water Wave Guidance!"

Following Ash's command, Squirtle raised the cannon on its back and gathered the surging Wave Guidance within.

Under the guidance of the Wave Guidance, the water columns on both sides condensed into two water balls containing tumultuous waves, like two brilliant stars; finally with a booming 'bang,' they precisely struck Onix.

Onix was shaken by the sudden heavy blow, its massive body rolling across the battlefield, eventually collapsing helplessly to the ground, kicking up a spray of rubble and dust.

Professor Oak witnessed this scene, a flash of admiration and astonishment in his eyes; this Water Wave Guidance left Onix barely able to withstand it.

"Squirtle's Water Wave Guidance dealt heavy damage to Onix."

The announcer gazed at the position where Onix was engulfed in dust and smoke.

"Squirtle, be careful." Ash shouted.

Squirtle glanced around; although it had just dealt heavy damage to Onix, Onix could still hold out, so it seized the opportunity to burrow into a hole, preparing to launch an attack.

"Here it comes!"

"Kame!"

Squirtle locked onto Onix's position.

"Use Water Wave Guidance against the ground!"

Squirtle ejected Water Wave Guidance, and two water balls appeared before it, containing surging water energy.

The surging Wave Guidance gathered beside it, controlling those two water balls.

Onix burst from the ground with a roar, its massive body standing upright like a mountain, preparing to launch a Stone Edge attack on Squirtle.

"Onix, use Stone Edge!"

Yongci shouted loudly.

"Send the Water Wave Guidance over."

Ash was waiting for Onix to bounce out of the ground.

Onix's tail slammed into the ground with a bang, and rows of spikes jutted up from the ground, charging straight toward Squirtle.

Squirtle swiftly turned around and then punched the floating water ball.

Bang!

The water ball that was hit instantly accelerated, colliding head-on with the incoming spikes.

Bang!

With a tremendous crash, the spikes shattered under the impact of the powerful water energy, scattering everywhere.

Meanwhile, the two water balls did not dissipate after the collision; instead, they merged into a larger water ball, carrying even more surging force, and surged straight toward Onix.

Struck by the impact of the Water Wave Guidance, Onix howled in pain, its massive body collapsing like it had been hit by a tidal wave.

"Onix!" Yongci gazed at the Onix fallen on the ground.

Onix lost its battle capability.

"Onix has lost battle capability; Squirtle wins!"

【Brock: Can't fight, can't possibly win, this overpowered Squirtle can't be fought, it's simply too overpowered.】

【Xiaomao: Having Wave Guidance means strength; mastery of Wave-type moves is perfected, Black Ash's Squirtle is simply the model for Squirtles.】

【Mikuri: How can a Pokémon possess Wave Guidance? Ash, do you know?】

【Ash: Eh, I don't know!】

【Professor Damu: It probably hasn't been researched yet, right?】

【Mikuri: Alright then.】

Black World——

Yongci's face was grim, feeling immense pressure; he hadn't encountered such a strong trainer and Pokémon in a long time.

The third Pokémon he sent out was Gengar.

After thinking, Ash decided to send out Dragonair.

Under Blastoise's guidance, Dragonair's strength had also improved by leaps and bounds; it was no longer the little Dragonair that anyone could bully when it first started.

Dragonair dove into the water pool in the middle of the battlefield.

Having secured the terrain advantage, plus Ash's wave guide transmission of Gengar's position, Dragonair timely dodged Gengar's attack and then counterattacked.

「Dodged so quickly! 」

Yongci felt uncomfortable, feeling powerless.

Gengar felt the same.

「Shadow Ball! 」

「Ice Beam! 」

The Shadow Ball launched by Gengar collided with Dragonair's Ice Beam, producing a strong shockwave.

At the moment of collision, light shone in all directions; Gengar seemed slightly inferior, was hit by the powerful Ice Beam, became unsteady, and was directly knocked down from the air.

Seeing this, Dragonair immediately seized the opportunity, dove into the water, and used the water's cover to avoid damage.

「Water Cannon! 」

Dragonair's water gun lacked the power of Blastoise's, so it could only use Water Cannon to inflict damage on Gengar.

Suddenly emerging from the water, a massive stream of water gathered and formed, directly aiming at Gengar's position.

Gengar was instantly blown back by the Water Cannon.

The surging water column continuously blasted Gengar backward, and even the solid stone pillar behind it was shattered by this force.

With a bang, Gengar could no longer hold on, its body flew out weakly, crashed heavily to the ground, and lost its battle ability.

「Snort! 」

Dragonair was happy, able to win on the battlefield, finally not dragging the team down.

Since traveling with Ash, it's been very happy all the way, and wants to help Ash in battle competitions.

「You've worked hard, Dragonair! 」 Ash hugged Dragonair.

The first half is over; now we need to change the venue midway.

Ash returned to the preparation area to rest a bit, and became very interested in Yongci's subsequent Pokémon, especially Dragonite.

The opponent's true strength hasn't been revealed yet.

「So strong! 」

「Is this the strength of the Stone Conference Champion? 」

Yongci recalled the battle situation; he had been completely dominated, whether in attack, dodge, or speed—his Pokémon fell short compared to Ash's, and overall strength was a notch above his own Pokémon.

「But this is what makes it fun! 」
