Chapter 163: The Challenge of Shuijing, Blue Croc's Tactics!
【Kiku: As expected, no matter whether it's the Black World or the White World, Ash's Pokémon can't escape managing the backyard.】
【Professor Oak: Uh uh, my backyard has many Pokémon, sometimes they get into disputes due to certain situations, and it's Ash's Bulbasaur that helps manage them, and Bulbasaur happens to have experience managing Pokémon, so it's a perfect match!
The Black World is better, Ash's Kanto starter Pokémon all finally evolved, they came together to the backyard, not only helping manage the Pokémon but also not neglecting training, even strengthening the training plan.
His Pokémon are as self-disciplined as he is, even making the backyard Pokémon feel embarrassed not to train!】
【Ash: Professor Oak, I understand! When I go back, I'll train with them.】
【Xiaomao: Even my Pokémon got pumped up!】
【Dantian Emperor: Haha, Ash's Pokémon are so driven because it's a habit, and also to help Ash, their bond isn't inferior to anyone's, such a bond is the rarest, and also the most enviable.】
【Yulongdu: From that Angry Lake, I knew Ash and his friends' love for Pokémon, not limited to their own Pokémon, that concern for Pokémon, I'm ashamed to say I'm inferior!】
Returned to Yuan Zhu City, Ash and his party sensed the abnormality of the Bell Tower.
Having experienced Team Rocket's capture of Lugia, Ash first had Professor Oak send over Charizard and the others, to avoid fighting Team Rocket and falling into a disadvantage.
"What's the situation? Is it coming from the Bell Tower?"
Brock looked toward the Bell Tower ahead.
"Could it be Ho-Oh has returned?"
Xiaoxia thought for a moment, then looked at Ash.
"No, I haven't sensed Ho-Oh's waveform."
Ash's gaze turned to the Bell Tower, and he sensed the familiar aura of Team Rocket, could it be them causing trouble?
But now we can't catch up to them, because they fled too fast.
"Let's go check it out first!" Ash proposed. The group immediately headed toward the Bell Tower.
Upon arriving at the Bell Tower, they met here the Gym Leader Xiaosong, and also a Shuijing who harbored hostility toward Ash. After Xiaosong's introduction, Ash learned that this Shuijing has been searching for the legendary Pokémon Suicune.
Originally, the abnormality of the Bell Tower just now was because the bell inside the tower was stolen. This incident not only drew the attention of Ash and his party, but also made them more vigilant about Team Rocket's movements.
Could Team Rocket be preparing some plan again?
Earlier they wanted to capture Lugia, now they won't be going after Ho-Oh, right?
Ash frowned, a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
"This is the place where Suicune is revived, so will it come back here to battle you?"
Brock's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands, and thought of this question.
He also wanted to see Ash battle Suicune, to see Xiao Lugia battle.
Although Xiao Lugia is still small, it trains every day with Pikachu and the others.
Divine beasts are divine beasts, their physical quality is much stronger than other Pokémon, the Weight Rings used by Pikachu and the others exert no pressure on it at all, so we can only have Professor Oak custom-make one for Xiao Lugia.
Otherwise, Xiao Lugia would have picked it up easily back then, at that time Blue Croc and Flare Beast all stared dumbfounded, they wore three Weight Rings and still struggled, how come in this little brat's place it seems so easy.
So they just trained even harder, if they don't train harder, they'll just fall short of this Xiao Lugia.
Upon saying this, Ash was instantly stared down by two gazes.
It was Xiaosong and Shuijing's.
Shuijing's face changed instantly.
"I don't believe it, I understand Suicune better than anyone, how could it possibly choose you as a Trainer?"
I don't know this either...... Ash also doesn't know, he was just chosen by Ho-Oh, becoming the Rainbow Hero, becoming the protector of the world, as for Suicune and the others, they just came to test Ash.
For now, only these are known.
"Since you've seen both Ho-Oh and Suicune, then let me see if you're worthy of being recognized by Suicune as a Trainer!"
Shuijing took out a Poké Ball, her eyes blazing with fierce battle intent, wanting to battle Ash.
"Then let's go."
Ash also wanted to see what strength the Trainer who's been chasing Suicune has.
If he's been chasing Suicune all along, then his strength must not be bad either, I can use this to train my Pokémon.
"Come with me."
Xiaosong sighed, knowing Shuijing's temperament, once Suicune is mentioned, he loses his rationality, so he scattered the Gym staff to search for the bell, now the Gym is closed, we can lend it to them for battle.
Shuijing sent out her Pokémon: Whiscash.
And Ash sent out his: Blue Croc.
"Ah golo~"
Blue Croc was very excited, still bouncing around like when it was a Little Saw Croc.
"My Whiscash has undergone training targeting Suicune's traits, specially boosting its Special Attack."
"It's my important partner who's pursued legends and traveled together with me."
Shuijing has great confidence in Whiscash.
Won't it be another Whiscash with all physical attack moves again.
Ash again thought of the Whiscash Trainer he met before, that person simply trained Whiscash chaotically.
For Whiscash, Ash initially had Blue Croc use Scary Face, to lower Whiscash's speed.
And Shuijing had prepared to have Whiscash use Reflect, but didn't expect the opponent to not attack at first, instead lowering their own Pokémon's ability.
He then thought a bit, and saw Blue Croc use Water Cannon on Whiscash.
That water flow, surging out like a fountain, carried strong impact straight toward Whiscash.
Attempting to use Mirror Move to bounce the Water Cannon back along its original path, preparing to let Blue Croc try its own Water Cannon.
But Blue Croc obviously had prepared in advance, when firing the Water Cannon, it had already dug downward, preparing for the next round of attack.
The reflected water flow drew a beautiful arc in the air, directly hitting the wall behind.
With a bang, Blue Croc burst out of the ground, suddenly appearing behind Whiscash.
"Spiritual Focus!"
Shui Jing saw this, his face slightly changing.
Hu Di immediately turned his head, both hands tightly gripping the spoon, pink light appearing in his eyes, a powerful psychic wave rippling outward from the spoon, as if trying to envelop everything around him in psychic power.
"Crush!"
The blue crocodile, however, bit Hu Di's hands with lightning speed, the psychic wave instantly vanishing, Hu Di's eyes wide open, even forgetting to howl.
"?"
Shui Jing was greatly surprised, still able to do this, this blue crocodile interrupting Hu Di's Spiritual Focus like this.
"This move...... is very familiar!"
Brock thought carefully, finally recalling, the blue crocodile was just playing, grabbing food while biting a friend's hand, never expecting Ash to use it in battle.
Although this move's routine is old, it's very effective, instantly breaking Hu Di's Spiritual Focus.
Fortunately it was close range, otherwise it wouldn't have bitten Hu Di so quickly.
Even the referee, Song, looked astonished.
"Throw it flying!"
Suddenly exerting force, he flung Hu Di's entire body high into the air, like a leaf swept up by a wild wind, helplessly tumbling in midair.
"Hu Di, use Spiritual Focus in midair!"
Shui Jing saw this, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes, almost instinctively shouting, but before he could finish, he heard Ash shout: "Blue Crocodile, use Water Cannon!"
A surging torrent gathered in its mouth, accompanied by a deep, powerful "dong", the thick Water Cannon shot out like a raging tide from the blue crocodile's mouth, tearing through the air, straight toward Hu Di in midair.
Hu Di could not dodge in midair at all, only able to watch helplessly as the destructive water flow drew nearer. Finally, with a "bang", the Water Cannon violently struck Hu Di, the immense impact instantly blasting Hu Di entirely into the rear wall.
The wall trembled violently under this blow, its surface covered in spiderweb-like cracks,
Hu Di's spoon hit the ground before his body, emitting a clear sound, announcing Hu Di's loss of combat ability in this battle.
Shui Jing's face instantly turned pale, staring in disbelief.
Hu Di was defeated just like that, and overwhelmingly so.
The trainer chosen by Shui Jun is this strong......
Thinking of this, he felt even more distressed in his heart!
