Chapter 1443

Ace leads the charge, Long Wang meets the enemy!

As soon as Pikachu and Hydreigon appeared, they instantly ignited the adrenaline of the spectators.

"Oh oh oh oh!"

"Pikachu! Go for it!"

"Go, Hydreigon! Show the aura of the Long Wang!!"

The cheering from the stands was exceptionally loud, clearly mixed with the friends and family of both sides, everyone shouting for their respective supporters.

The two Pokémon locked eyes with each other, and when Danpe declared the match started, they launched their attacks without hesitation!

Ash: "Thunderbolt!"

All Baimu: "Snarl!"

"Pi—"

Pikachu reacted swiftly, leaping high into the air, its paws tapping its electric sacs to strike first. Dazzling golden lightning erupted suddenly, the thick bolt like a golden dragon, blasting fiercely toward Hydreigon!

Zzz!!

Pikachu, in peak condition, was truly unparalleled in power, demonstrating in every way the foundation it had accumulated across eight regions!

At the same time, Hydreigon roared angrily, its three heads' three large mouths simultaneously releasing black ripple energy waves. The visible sonic boom pierced the air, causing the ground to tremble violently!

In an instant, Snarl and Thunderbolt collided in mid-air, the two different types of energy tearing at each other crazily, golden light and black light weaving into a ball, neither side giving an inch.

Seeing this, Ash shouted directly, "Go! Pikachu!"

"Pika—chu!"

Pikachu shrieked, the power of the Thunderbolt doubling in the blink of an eye, the massive current blasting straight through the black sonic boom, heading straight for Hydreigon, which was trying to gain altitude after seeing the situation turn sour.

Boom!!

The violent shockwave kicked up clouds of dust, which quickly spread in all directions, enveloping Hydreigon.

"Thunderbolt hits! Pikachu's lightning is swift and powerful!" the host shouted, just about to say the next sentence, when a massive black shadow rushed out from the smoke.

It was Hydreigon, which had been hit by the Thunderbolt!

It roared angrily, its three giant mouths accumulating dazzling, colorful dragon fire at high speed.

"Dragon Pulse."

"Roar!!"

Fire flashed in Hydreigon's mouths, and massive flames erupted, quickly weaving together to form a ferocious flaming dragon. It roared as it charged toward Pikachu, kicking up all the dust in its path, leaving clear scorched marks on the ground—the power was truly astonishing!

Ash's command was equally timely, "Electroweb!"

"Pika!"

Electricity surged from the electric sacs on Pikachu's cheeks, then gathered at the tip of its tail. Golden current wove into a dense and massive electric net, flashing with golden light, flying forward with a "crackling" sound.

In an instant, the roaring flaming dragon crashed into the massive electric net, like a fish trapped in a fishing net, making a harsh friction sound during the violent collision. The colorful radiance entangled with each other, the electric net trembling crazily, yet it still firmly blocked the impact of the Dragon Pulse.

Pikachu took the opportunity to leap to the side. The flaming dragon, carrying the net that trapped it, flew all the way to the edge of the arena before suddenly bursting, turning into rolling smoke that scattered in all directions, shaking the protective devices nearby.

"Well done, Pikachu!"

Ash was very excited, "Keep going with this momentum!"

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu responded loudly, its face full of a confident smile; after two exchanges, it truly felt there was an opportunity to be seized.

Hydreigon's anger swelled until it couldn't control itself.

"Hydreigon..."

It growled, causing the terrifying dragon fire to churn violently within its body, turning into bright points of light in front of its chest and abdomen.

The points of light followed its necks straight to its giant mouths, condensing into ghostly purple orbs. When Hydreigon roared, they suddenly exploded, turning into thousands of meteors burning with deep purple flames.

"Roar!!"

Hydreigon's six wings vibrated, and the numerous meteors immediately surrounded it as it spread its wings and charged toward Pikachu. The scorching meteors were like a rain of light fired by ten thousand arrows, densely packed and filled with the aura of destruction!

Ash's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously wanted to use Pikachu's specialty, the Draco Meteor seal, just like he had treated Lance and Cynthia's Draco Meteor before.

But his subconscious told him that, not to mention this familiar release method, just in terms of flight speed and density, it was far beyond the two he had seen before.

Counter Shield?

It didn't feel like it would work either.

Hydreigon's Draco Meteor was no small matter, and Ash couldn't help but wave his hand vigorously: "Pikachu! Use Quick Attack to dodge!"

"Pika!"

Pikachu moved at the sound, its whole body wrapped in dazzling white light, turning into a speeding golden lightning bolt. Dust splashed under its feet as it nimbly darted diagonally forward!

Its speed was extremely fast. As Hydreigon steered the Draco Meteor to shift toward its location, it quickly turned back and ran to the other side, running in a Z-shaped route to avoid the Draco Meteor's firepower coverage to the greatest extent.

However, the number of meteors was simply too large, and each one contained powerful dragon fire. As they fell, they were like small explosive bombs, making dull explosion sounds one after another.

Bang bang bang!

Gravel and flames splashed everywhere, the air was scorched and distorted, and the flat ground was covered with large and small scorched craters, with smoke curling and dust flying, like a battlefield under saturation bombardment!

"Pika!"

Pikachu dodged left and right, struggling to maneuver in the dense meteor shower. If it weren't for the extreme speed of Quick Attack, allowing it to weave through the gaps between explosions and meteor light arrows, it might have been hit long ago.

But even so, several meteor light arrows appeared very close to it, and the violent explosions kicked up shockwaves, shaking its petite body away.

"Pika!"

Pikachu's body tumbled in mid-air.

Thanks to its agility, it landed steadily on the uneven ground.

Looking around, the entire field was filled with smoke, and there were dozens of large and small "bomb craters," all of which were masterpieces of the Draco Meteor.

The host shouted: "What a fierce Draco Meteor! Pikachu was almost unable to handle it!"

Before the words fell, the violent Hydreigon had already launched the next wave of attacks.

"Hydreigon—!!"

It saw it lift its necks and roar, its six wings flapping violently as it rushed straight into the sky. While looking down at Pikachu from high above, dragon fire exploded like a burning fire, covering its body in an instant!

Whoosh!

The indigo three-headed giant dragon wrapped in explosive flames shrieked high in the sky, its whole body filled with terrifying murderous aura and momentum, as it dived fiercely toward Pikachu below!

"Electroweb!"

Ash gave the order decisively.

Lightning immediately appeared on Pikachu's cheeks, and the golden electric net unfolded again, trying to block the Dragon Rush just like it blocked the Dragon Pulse.

But clearly, these two moves were not comparable.

The overwhelming electric net was quickly shattered by the three-headed flame dragon, making a harsh, crackling sound of lightning.

Seeing the situation turn sour, Pikachu quickly retreated, relying on its super agility to dodge the crushing Dragon Rush attack by hugging the ground.

But what neither it nor Ash expected was that the massive three-headed flame dragon didn't crash directly into the ground, but instead gained altitude, circled in mid-air, maintained the dragon fire surrounding it, and launched another intense diving attack at Pikachu!

Ash shouted: "Iron Tail!"

"Pika—"

Knowing it couldn't dodge, Pikachu leaped up, its lightning-shaped tail immediately wrapped in silver-white steel light, becoming hard and sharp.

It rotated its body, borrowing the momentum of the fall, and lashed out fiercely at the oncoming three-headed flame dragon. The tail wind whistled, looking full of power, suddenly bringing out the momentum of a great sword stopping a dragon car!

In an instant, Iron Tail collided with the middle head of the giant three-headed flame dragon, the silver-white steel light and the indigo dragon fire impacting each other, sparking dazzling sparks!

The two Pokémon were actually deadlocked for a moment!

It's just a pity that no matter how much Pikachu's Iron Tail rivals a giant beast's slash, it only has one tail, while Hydreigon has three heads!

"Roar!"

While the middle head was in a bitter struggle, the heads on the left and right sides immediately added force and charged forward. The erupting dragon fire triggered a terrifying impact, blasting Pikachu away in the midst of its panicked expression!

Bang!

Pikachu, flying backward, almost turned into a blur, flew past Ash's side and out of the field. After falling silently to the ground and rolling twice, it finally stabilized its figure.

"Pi..."

Its small figure was covered in dust, and Pikachu gritted its teeth and stood up. This hit was truly heavy!

The host also said: "Iron Tail clash failed! Hydreigon's Dragon Rush is unstoppable, knocking Pikachu out of the field!!"

Whoa!

A chorus of screams erupted from the spectator stands.

Especially Ash's friends and family, who couldn't help but worry when they saw this scene.

Brock sighed: "All Baimu's Hydreigon is really amazing!"

"Of course! It's the current Long Wang of the Village of Dragons!" Iris replied without hesitation.

Serena clenched her fists worriedly: "Ash..."

Dawn comforted her: "It's okay! Believe in Ash!"

"Yeah!"

Serena nodded vigorously.

Misty, who was several seats away, glanced over secretly and whispered to May: "Do you feel like Serena-chan is a bit unusual toward Ash?"

"—Of course I do!"

May also lowered her voice, even looking at Serena with a guilty conscience, "Most likely she likes Ash!"

Over the past year, May had dealt with Serena quite a bit in Pokémon Contests. At first, neither side knew the other knew Ash, until she discovered Serena secretly watching the live broadcast of Ash participating in the World Coronation Series, and only then did she understand that the person in front of her had traveled with Ash.

As for why she thought Serena liked Ash...

A girl's intuition!

Misty was shocked, seemingly unable to understand, but soon her attention was diverted by the changes happening on the field.

"Pikachu, you rest for a while."

Ash in the arena called out to Pikachu, who was preparing to return to the field, clearly not intending to let it fight Hydreigon to the end.

He undoubtedly preferred to take down his opponent with a quick attack first, but Hydreigon's powerful strength didn't give him an opportunity, even though Pikachu was in peak condition.

Ash looked up at Hydreigon floating in the arena and whispered: "This situation... I'll leave it to you!"

The Poké Ball flew out.

Bang!

White light flashed, and the sturdy and tall Dracovish appeared!

"Wah!"

It landed with a shout, its expression still firm in the face of the powerful Hydreigon, not at all intimidated by the opponent's aura.

Even Dracovish's lower jaw was slowly opening and closing, as if it couldn't wait to take a bite out of its opponent!

All Baimu: "Nasty Plot."

"Hydreigon~"

Hydreigon's heads in mid-air swayed, and faint black energy appeared around it, gathering above its head to form a strange symbol.

It stared at Dracovish, its eyes even more ferocious; it already had a plan in mind for how to deal with this strange-looking guy.

Orange-red radiance lit up, not only recovering the Special Attack lowered by the Draco Meteor but also increasing it slightly.

Ash spoke without hesitation: "Water Gun!"

"Wah!"

Dracovish quickly lifted its head, water waves surging in its mouth, and in an instant, a thick column of water erupted!

Rumble!

The water column pierced through the air, shimmering with crystal-clear cold light and splashing water everywhere, wetting the smoke-filled field like a rushing stream, heading straight for the face of the floating Hydreigon.

"Dragon Pulse."

All Baimu's counterattack was without hesitation.

"Hydreigon!"

Hydreigon's three large mouths opened simultaneously, indigo, azure, and crimson dragon fire condensing rapidly in its mouths, then erupting and turning into a ferocious flaming dragon, heading straight for Dracovish's Water Gun!

The three-colored dragon fire streaked through the air, making a low humming sound, like the roar of a giant dragon!

Boom—!!

In the instant the dragon fire and the water column collided, a massive shockwave swept across the field. Water and fire intertwined to form a vast white mist that flew everywhere, washing the ground into a wet patch while also covering it with shallow scorched marks.

Dracovish was shaken backward by the shockwave, almost flipping over backward. Hydreigon was also shaken back, only able to rely on its six wings flapping slowly to suppress the oncoming strong wind.

"Wah!"

"Hydreigon!"

Both sides continued to output, and naturally, Dracovish fell into a disadvantage; the Water Gun was broken through by the Dragon Pulse, and water splashed everywhere, unable to resist at all.

"Quick, dodge!"

Ash shouted anxiously.

Dracovish decisively imitated Pikachu's posture from just now, burying its head low.

It must be said that this move is indeed useful; the flaming dragon grazed its head and landed behind it, causing a violent explosion!

Boom!

"Wah!"

It shouted.

After a moment of contemplation, Ash said: "As expected... let's fight head-on! Dragon Rush!"

"We'll do the same, Dragon Rush."

The giant fire bird hissed as it flew up, circled briefly in the sky, and then fell from high altitude with even more terrifying, intense flames!

As the Long Wang, there's no reason for Hydreigon not to take Dracovish's move. How could a mere stitched-together husky-dragon avoid its edge?!

And Dracovish and Ash's thoughts were also very direct—

'My sword is not blunt either!'

"Hydreigon!"

"Wah!"

The two Pokémon looked at each other from high and low, dragon fire of various colors igniting on their bodies simultaneously, wrapping themselves in a flaming armor!

Whoosh!

The dragon fire in the arena was scorching. Both sides assumed a posture of about to unleash a big move. The surging flames gradually outlined the ferocious appearance of the energy dragon. The three heads burning fiercely against the single head with a towering aura, the air vibrated violently like the roars of two giant dragons.

The next moment.

"Go!"

"Go—!!"

The Trainers on both sides shouted simultaneously, and the three-headed flame dragon and the azure giant dragon charged at each other without hesitation!

"Roar!!"

"Roar!!"

The roars resounded through the clouds, and the two massive figures collided violently. The dragon fire mixed with various colors erupted, and it seemed as if a loud noise was stirred up between heaven and earth. The violent energy shockwave tore through the air and shocked the entire field!!
