Chapter 204: Black Xiba: Black Ash's Poké Ball Is Unscientific!
Xiaomao's third Poké Ball is Arcanine.
Facing Arcanine, Ash sent out Snorlax.
Is your Arcanine more agile, or is my Snorlax more agile!
Professor Oak saw Snorlax enter the field, and his expression changed subtly.
Regarding Snorlax, Professor Oak had studied it thoroughly; that Snorlax can eat more than ordinary Poké Balls, each time eating a lot of food in the backyard, the portion given to it is not enough, and it also eats the portions meant for its Friendship.
Not only that, after Snorlax ate and drank its fill, unlike ordinary Snorlax that would rest, it prepared to train, having other Poké Balls bring it Weight Rings, then battling its Friendship to practice.
What surprised Professor Oak most was that Snorlax's huge body was still very fast; many Poké Balls in the backyard couldn't match it, and it was also diligent and self-disciplined.
Such a unique Snorlax...... how did Ash catch it?
On the battlefield, Snorlax's performance did not disappoint Professor Oak, after all Professor Oak had specially devised a training plan for Snorlax to increase its speed.
Snorlax directly blocked Arcanine's Quick Attack with its hand, then unleashed a Thunder Punch at Arcanine.
Back and forth, Snorlax and Arcanine both got injured, but it's clear Arcanine suffered more damage; Snorlax's trait is Thick Fat, so Fire-type moves aren't very effective against it.
Finally, Snorlax finished with a single Hyper Beam.
Since Xiaomao already had three Poké Balls that lost battle capability, the battlefield had to be changed; both sides rest normally for five minutes!
"This Snorlax is a bit unscientific!"
In the spectator stands, Xiba saw Ash's Snorlax with its abnormal speed, that kind of attack, his Poké Balls also have it, but that speed is exactly what he longs for; similarly large-bodied Poké Balls, why does Snorlax have such speed?
"It's normal; their breeding method can draw out Snorlax's speed."
Kenan saw Ash defeat another of Xiaomao's Poké Balls, nodded slightly; Ash now has the upper hand, Charizard only took a little damage and can still fight, Snorlax's defense is astonishing, that little injury is nothing to it, Xiaomao already has three Poké Balls that lost battle capability.
"Ash is really strong; when he challenged the Light Red Gym, you already knew he wasn't ordinary."
Aju has a strong impression of Ash; not only did Ash win the Stone League Champion, but also when Ash challenged the Light Red Gym, he never touched their traps.
"Kenan, the last time you fought him, you said his Pikachu fought your Dragonite to a draw; is he really that strong?"
Xiba glanced at the Pikachu beside Ash on the battlefield.
"Really strong!"
Kenan recalled battling Pikachu then; it was the first time he felt pressure from a novice trainer.
"Really? I'm looking forward to him winning the Champion, but if he challenges me, I'll have to get serious!"
Xiba burst out laughing.
"Don't get too excited early; what do you think your chances are of winning?"
Kenan gave Xiba a half-smile, half-not smile glance.
Moreover, Yulongdu said on the side that Ash helped him battle Team Rocket, and he still has a red Gyarados in hand.
Xiba stopped laughing.
Aju glanced at Kenan, understanding Ash so well.
On the battlefield.
Xiaomao sent out Golem.
Ash sent out Blastoise.
This time Xiaomao did not recall Golem, intending to let Golem battle Blastoise.
Golem used its unique Rollout skill, nimbly moving across the battlefield, skillfully dodging Blastoise's successive Water Gun attacks.
But Blastoise also had Surf; the surging water flow like a great wave rolled in, directly knocking Golem over. Golem's huge body tumbled in the water, completely submerged, appearing to be in dire straits.
"Golem, keep using Rollout!"
Golem struggled in the water to get up again, then activated Rollout again.
Golem pushed off the surrounding stones with all its strength, leaping into the air. At the moment of takeoff, electricity crackled on its fists, a sign of Thunder Punch. From above, Golem used Rollout to increase power, unleashing Thunder Punch to its fullest.
"Golem even knows Thunder Punch; it seems they've made many adjustments to Ash's Poké Balls!"
Brock analyzed the situation on the field.
Thunder Punch is not a common move for Golem, but Xiaomao managed to make Golem proficient in it; after being hit by Surf, Golem also didn't suffer major damage, indicating Xiaomao had conducted intensive targeted training on Golem.
So that's the plan...... Ash shouted: "Blastoise, withdraw into your shell!"
Blastoise quickly withdrew into its shell; the brown shell gradually glowed blue.
Bang!
Golem's Thunder Punch struck Blastoise's shell; although the shell could withstand most of the impact, the strong current carried by Thunder Punch still left a scorched patch on the shell's surface.
"Water Cannon!"
A powerful stream converged into a Water Cannon, shooting straight at Golem. The Water Cannon was extremely fast and powerful; Golem couldn't dodge in time and was hit directly.
Thud! Golem's huge body flew back as if struck by a giant hammer.
"Explosion!"
Xiaomao still wanted Golem to inflict some damage on Blastoise.
Golem seemed to hear Xiaomao's call; despite being covered in wounds, it still prepared to unleash its final strike.
Bang!
Golem's body underwent a violent explosion, not only canceling out the aftereffects of the Water Cannon, but also shattering nearby rocks into flying fragments, and the shockwave even blasted distant debris away.
Blastoise quickly withdrew into its shell, using its hard outer shell to block the explosion's shockwave.
Golem lost battle capability!
"No wonder facing Blastoise, Xiaomao still used Golem; turns out they have such a combo."
Brock analyzed: "They predicted Blastoise would use Water Cannon, but they didn't expect the Water Cannon's power; Explosion didn't do much damage to Blastoise."
Professor Oak agreed; Blastoise's Water Cannon is so strong that after being hit by Thunder Punch, it sensed danger and immediately activated Hydro Pump, blasting Golem away; otherwise, Golem's Explosion might also have taken away Blastoise's battle capability.
"This water arrow turtle isn't scientific either!"
Xiba widened their eyes and shouted, "Was the Water Arrow Turtle just triggered the Torrent ability?!"
Yulongdu looked on seriously, nodding slightly; the power of that Water Cannon just now was greater than what an ordinary Poké Ball could unleash, and with the blue light appearing on the Water Arrow Turtle's body, it must have triggered the Torrent ability.
Aju remained somewhat silent; they hadn't even really started battling, and the Water Arrow Turtle wasn't injured, so how did it trigger Torrent?
It's truly surprising!
Kenan's mouth corners slightly lifted, and their beautiful eyes looking at Ash grew brighter.
