Chapter 207: Playing tactics, Black Satoshi takes the lead!

A Jue originally stood with arms crossed, watching the match leisurely, but now his eyes were full of surprise; he slowly lowered his arms and stared at the battlefield in disbelief.

Xiba was actually anticipated, the opponent is still a trainer who just set out on a journey not long ago, yet he employs such a 'good' tactic.

Recalling the previous match I had seen of Ash, although he had some strength back then, compared to now there is still a big gap. Now Ash, whether in combat skill or tactic use, has already reached a new height.

"He has improved too much compared to before."

Kenan likewise focused on Ash on the battlefield, her eyes showing a bit of appreciation, not feeling happy because she had severely injured one of Xiba's Pokémon; Ash's expression grew more solemn, as if he were thinking about the next tactical arrangement.

"Is this the trainer brought out by Professor Da Mu?"

Yi Shu also looked at Ash in surprise, his heart even more shocked; facing Xiba without the slightest nervousness, he could still calmly employ such a tactic.

【Xiba: Good good good! Black Satoshi, you play like this, right? Using such a tactic is interesting!】

【Ju Zi: Right, or maybe it was recommended by Black Kenan; perhaps Kenan taught him this tactic, specifically aimed at you!】

【Kenan:? I, from Black World, just gave Black Satoshi some advice; I didn't continue speaking afterward, we were just chatting about everyday matters; that was Black Satoshi's own realization, Xiba won't be unable to cope, right?】

【Xiba: I can cope with it; Black Satoshi suddenly used this tactic, just a bit unexpected.】

【Dian Ci: This tactic is really not bad; I feel it can still be modified and strengthened a bit.】

【Ma Zhishi: Playing this set again, watch out for getting hit!】

Black World—

Quick Punch Lad was still asleep, but Ash didn't let Stinky Mud continue using Misfortune Never Comes Alone; instead he recalled it and sent out Pikachu.

"Electric Terrain!"

Pikachu released waves of electric current from its body, the current like a spiritual snake winding and wandering, quickly spreading in all directions, enveloping the entire battlefield in a blaze of electric light, and a faint burnt smell could be detected.

"Quick Punch Lad, come back!"

Xiba Xiba's expression turned grave, he recalled Quick Punch Lad, thinking Ash opened Electric Terrain to boost Pikachu's attack power; the next would be using an Electric-type move, whose power would likely be hard to withstand.

"That is a regional variant of Rumbling Rock!"

Ash recognized the Rumbling Rock that Xiba had sent out.

A large chunk of black iron sand adheres to its chest, its back has a device similar to an electromagnetic cannon launcher, around it are two taller black stones, and the surfaces of the stones facing inward are regularly inlaid with golden electric stone crystals.

The Rumbling Rock before us is Rock-type plus Electric-type!

"Rumbling Rock, use Deep Sea Tumble!"

Rumbling Rock surged forward like a huge cannonball, preparing to grab Pikachu and smash it to the ground.

"Water Cannon Turtle, use Water Cannon!"

Ash was still the first time on the battlefield to recall Pikachu with a Spirit Ball, then directly released Water Cannon Turtle.

Xiba suddenly saw a Water Cannon Turtle completely enveloped in water emerge, thinking Rumbling Rock could use this Electric Terrain to strike the Water Cannon Turtle.

Rumbling Rock was blocked by the Water Cannon Turtle; although its strength was greater, the Water Cannon Turtle wasn't competing in strength, having set up its cannon upon release, with turbulent water already gathering inside the barrel.

With a boom, as Rumbling Rock just saw the water inside the barrel, it was immediately blasted away by the Water Cannon Turtle's Water Cannon.

Although Rumbling Rock was strong and sturdy, under the fierce bombardment of the Water Cannon it could not resist, being blown back repeatedly and directly severely injured.

"This Water Cannon will likely directly trigger Rumbling Rock's Sturdy ability!"

Professor Da Mu remarked, Ash's Water Cannon Turtle's Water Cannon is very powerful, and his tactical adjustments are flexible.

Ash then sent out Pikachu again.

Probably guessing Ash's intention to send out Pikachu to directly finish Rumbling Rock with Iron Tail, Xiba also switched back to Rumbling Rock and directly sent out Monster Power.

Changed Pokémon again...... The audience saw Ash and Xiba constantly switching Pokémon, the frequency far exceeding that of the Silver Conference matches, and there were also unexpected tactics.

Even as a member of the Elite Four, he also got hit!

"Did I missee? How is Xiba of the Elite Four at a disadvantage, is this Ash really that strong?"

"For us, it's very impressive, but for Xiba of the Elite Four, it should be no problem; perhaps it's for showmanship, letting Ash and his Pokémon display a few more rounds, otherwise defeating him instantly would leave us unsatisfied."

"Is that really the case?"

The confused audience thought Xiba was holding back, not really believing Ash could fight Xiba, and still thought Xiba had the upper hand.

Na Zi and the others were also extremely shocked; Ash's initial use of such a tactic left Xiba caught off guard.

"Monster Power probably can't beat Pikachu!"

Professor Da Mu slowly said, he was also surprised that Pikachu could have such strength, and moreover Pikachu also has Ash's Aura bonus.

Na Zi stared unblinkingly at the battlefield, probably knowing Ash should use Electric Rise.

Electric Rise is an electric attack launched from the ground rising up; since the opponent is still on Electric Terrain, the move's power is directly doubled.

Xiao Chun hasn't seen Ash this strong yet, while Xiaoxia is fine, after all Ash passed the Three Sacred Beasts trial, so it's normal for him not to be at a disadvantage against Xiba.

"Pikachu, use Electric Ball!"

Pikachu quickly gathered all its electricity, a sphere compressing the current into a ball instantly formed on its tail, spinning rapidly around the tail at extreme speed; because Pikachu itself is very fast, much faster than Monster Power, the Electric Ball it creates becomes large, and the Electric Ball tossed at Monster Power is also fast.

The Electric Ball directly hit Monster Power's body, instantly erupting with a strong explosion sound, accompanied by blinding electric light, Monster Power was engulfed by this tremendous force.

After the explosion, Monster Power barely managed to steady its footing, but its arms felt numb from the electric shock.

"Monster Power, use Cross Chop!"

"Iron Tail!"

Pikachu then rushed forward to engage Monster Power in close combat, its metallic tail clashing with Monster Power's fist radiating white light, Pikachu's lightweight body continually pressing down on Monster Power.

Xiba slightly lost focus, seeing for the first time a Pikachu capable of suppressing his Monster Power.

After dodging Monster Power's Cross Chop, Pikachu leapt high, using the force from its rolling body plus Iron Tail to slam down, knocking Monster Power back a distance.

But Pikachu's attack wasn't over; it immediately used 100,000 Volts on Monster Power, which, upon looking at Pikachu, saw the incoming surge and was directly engulfed, with a boom Monster Power's body instantly exploded.

With Electric Terrain and Pikachu also carrying an Electric Ball, the power of Electric-type moves is something Monster Power cannot withstand.

"After fighting this long, we finally defeated Monster Power."

Ash felt it was tricky; Pikachu spent a lot of stamina to defeat Monster Power, and furthermore there is still a huge Giant Onix ahead, so the pressure remains great.

"Really strong!"

Xiba said in agreement.

This is the first time I've felt such great pressure as the Champion of the Silver Conference.

"Xiba was actually taken down first?!"

Ajie also feels great pressure now; when Ash challenged the Vermilion Gym before, it wasn't this intense.

In such a short time, they've actually grown to this extent; it's really surprising!
