Chapter 208: Water Cannon Turtle vs. Giant Giant Rock Snake showdown!

【Xiba: How do you fight such an agile Pikachu? My Superpower fighting it is basically getting beaten, and Black Satoshi played tactics from the start, directly seizing the initiative; now I'm too passive!】

【Da Wu: What Professor Oak teaches is just different, switching between tactics is effortless, plus the strongest partner Pikachu; I feel Black Satoshi has a chance to win!】

【A Jue: The aura power hasn't even been used yet, plus there's Mega Evolution of the Spitting Fire Dragon; Black Satoshi still has many tricks up his sleeve, likely saved specially for Black Xiba's Giant Giant Rock Snake.】

Black World —

Xiba recalled Superpower and threw forward a Poké Ball:

"Flying Leg Lad, Flame Kick!"

The Poké Ball opened with a bang, Flying Leg Lad landed, compressing leg power, and with a swoosh shot toward Pikachu. Parts of its hands and legs took on a spring-like shape, especially the legs, which can freely stretch and contract, making its kicks more swift and unpredictable.

Its legs, wreathed in blazing flames, were like two burning meteors, kicking swiftly at Pikachu.

First it nimbly jumped up to dodge Flying Leg Lad's first wave of attack, then quickly dropped low to the ground to evade its consecutive kicks, and further used high-speed movement to keep increasing speed, but Pikachu still suffered from the drawback of Flying Leg Lad's legs contracting and extending, and it ended up taking the Flame Kick.

But just that kick, although not seriously injuring, unexpectedly triggered Pikachu's static ability. This ability caused Flying Leg Lad to receive an electric shock upon contact with Pikachu, thus falling into a paralyzed state, unable to move.

"Surely it's not another trap?"

Seeing this, Xiba's face involuntarily showed an expression of surprise and helplessness.

Another Pokémon has fallen into an abnormal state; Ash won't have to unleash Sludge again, right? And again use Misfortune Not Single?

As for Flying Leg Lad triggering Pikachu's static ability, Ash was also surprised, because Pikachu's static ability hasn't been triggered many times.

However, Ash had no intention of switching to Sludge, nor did he need to; just now Pikachu had used a high-speed move, increasing its speed further, just right to suppress Flying Leg Lad.

"Shadow Clone!"

Many identical clones appeared around Pikachu, rushing toward Flying Leg Lad; each clone used an electric net, preparing to bind Flying Leg Lad there and then defeat it.

"Use Flame Kick!"

Xiba saw Flying Leg Lad paralyzed, unable to move.

He had intended to recall it, but instantly saw Pikachu's clones charging at Flying Leg Lad like bolts of lightning, unleashing electric nets, 100,000 Volts, and Surf.

Flying Leg Lad was gang-beaten and instantly lost its combat ability.

"Just as hard to beat as Kenan said!"

Xiba grew increasingly excited, finally understanding why Kenan praised Ash's Pikachu so highly.

With that speed and attack power, it's truly rare; no wonder Team Rocket sent people to snatch his Pikachu—such a strong Pikachu, anyone would want it.

"Pikachu is really strong; now my Riding Dragon probably can't beat it."

Kenan said in surprise, corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyes bearing a hint of pleasure; regarding Ash surpassing her, she felt no anxiety at all, only delight.

She also couldn't say why.

"Pikachu consecutively defeated two of Xiba's Pokémon."

A Jue had made his plans; if Ash were to challenge him, he'd need to prepare specifically against Pikachu and also guard against the tactics Ash employs, so as not to suffer the same loss as Xiba.

So I'll trouble Xiba, hoping Xiba can figure out all of Ash's trump-card tactics; then it'll be easy for me to win!

Yulongdu looked on expressionlessly, yet one could also see a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Giant Giant Rock Snake?"

Xiba directly sent out the Giant Giant Rock Snake.

Ash saw the Giant Giant Rock Snake's burly build and couldn't help exclaiming; the Rock Snakes that abundantly produce on Miaucha Mountain are huge, but this Giant Giant Rock Snake before him far exceeds his imagination.

Now, after Xiba's cultivation, it feels not only burly but also carries an intangible aura of pressure.

Its body, formed of joined boulders, glimmered with a cold light in the sunlight; the stone horns on its head were sharp and striking, the cross-shaped scar on its face added a ferocious air, its gaze looked especially fierce, and a chilling coldness emanated from within.

"Giant Giant Rock Snake, finally I get to see Xiba the Heavenly King's Giant Giant Rock Snake!"

Everyone seeing Xiba's Giant Giant Rock Snake couldn't help swallowing; this Rock Snake's size is truly enormous.

Comparing with Ash's Pikachu, Pikachu before the Giant Giant Rock Snake is like a mere stone on an ordinary Rock Snake's body; moreover, the sturdy Xiba before the Giant Giant Rock Snake is equally insignificant.

"Pikachu, come back."

Ash decided to let Pikachu rest and directly sent out the Water Cannon Turtle.

"Kame!"

Upon seeing the huge Giant Giant Rock Snake, the Water Cannon Turtle also broke a light sweat; this big guy looks fierce at a glance, and its combat power is top-notch.

"Iron Tail!" Xiba shouted.

The Giant Giant Rock Snake immediately swung its thick tail, smashing straight toward the Water Cannon Turtle. Although the motion is slow, the swing carries a whooshing sound and an unstoppable fierce force.

"Water Cannon!"

The Water Cannon Turtle wore a solemn expression; two thick streams of water instantly shot from its cannon, directly striking the Giant Giant Rock Snake's tail.

But the Water Cannon could not block the Giant Giant Rock Snake's Iron Tail; it could only barely slow the tail's descent.

"Kame!"

A flash of iridescent light passed through the Water Cannon Turtle's eyes; a surge of water suddenly welled up beneath its feet, enveloping it; as the water surged, the water column jetting from the cannon expanded outward, greatly increasing its power, and it actually blasted the Iron Tail back!
