Chapter 798: Battling the Pikachu God
Considering personal safety.
All Baimu suppressed his desire for the explosive spikes on Turtonator's back.
After all, it would be too ridiculous if the Pokémon were fine after a battle, while the Trainer ended up covered in soot and dirt.
"Ka-me-shu..."
Turtonator inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't know why it always felt that the person in front of it had a very dangerous look just now, as if considering something bad.
Kiawe counted on his fingers, being poured with chicken soup until he was dizzy, and went off the field in a daze.
"Thousands of battles..."
The young man calculated that if he fought three battles a day, the battle count would exceed a thousand after a year.
Thinking about it this way, exceeding a thousand battle counts didn't seem like a particularly difficult thing?
Outside the field.
Everyone comforted Kiawe who had come off the field.
The Z-Move 【Inferno Overdrive】, which he was proud of, had failed repeatedly, which was indeed easy to hit a young man's mentality.
Kiawe was actually quite resilient.
Or rather, he was used to being hit. Ever since Ash came, he had suffered losses in all aspects. Of course, it wasn't just losing to Ash; not long ago, he had lost to Lana in a treasure hunt.
Clearly his luck was exploding and he dug up a Skull Fossil and a Feather Fossil, who would have thought Lana could dig up a Sparkling Stone!
"Hahaha! That's why battling is interesting!"
Ash, the battle idiot, laughed loudly, then rushed toward the field excitedly, raising his right hand and jumping up and down like a Slaking, "All Baimu! It's my turn, it's my turn!"
Pikachu was on all fours, also with an eager expression.
"Pika!"
Without a doubt.
The second battle proceeded as usual.
Even though the combat power displayed by All Baimu and Hydreigon was quite outrageous, in the eyes of the indomitable Ash, this was nothing!
At most, lose the battle!
It wasn't like he hadn't lost worse games, like being two-for-sixed by the legendary trainer Tobias, which he forgot as soon as he turned around.
"Go, Pikachu! I choose you!"
Ash adjusted his hat brim.
Pikachu rushed into the field excitedly, its crisp, tender voice becoming sharp:
"Pikachu!"
"Don't worry."
All Baimu's smile remained unchanged: "I won't forget to (beat) you."
He recalled Hydreigon, and under the latter's slightly dissatisfied gaze, backhanded the Poké Ball containing Aggron.
Bang!
"Goo-roar!"
Aggron landed.
The onlookers all let out low gasps; there were no wild Aggron in the Alola region.
The Rotom Pokédex flew out to show its presence: "Aggron, the Iron Armor Pokémon, Steel and Rock type. It uses sharp horns that can pierce iron plates to ram enemies. The longer the horns, the older it is, and the scars on its armor are medals of battle for it, Roto!"
It added: "This Aggron's horns aren't very long, it should be very young, but the scars on its body—Nani!?"
The Rotom Pokédex was scared.
Dense and numerous! It couldn't even count them!
Kiawe stared blankly at Aggron. He finally understood why All Baimu had told him that before; it turned out to be experience.
The others had different expressions.
Lillie thought about how All Baimu was so familiar with her brother, and began to further consider whether she could ask this person to persuade her brother to let Gladion return home.
Inside the field.
Aggron's gaze fell directly on Pikachu.
It hadn't had a serious battle with a strong Trainer or Pokémon for a while; the opponents it encountered daily were basically weaklings.
The last slightly intense battle was with Registeel.
Although Pikachu wasn't as big as its head, Aggron could see that this little guy was not ordinary.
Come on!
Let the battle begin!
Aggron was a bit impatient.
Compared to its own ace, All Baimu looked at Ash, who was about to wear his hat backward, and the high-spirited Pikachu, with a very calm expression.
He wasn't worried at all about losing to Ash.
It had nothing to do with his own strength.
Because daily street battles were the most unstable battle environment for Ash and Pikachu.
Counting Pikachu's battle record, the dignified Pikachu God had lost to the Snivy that had just left the Professor's lab, and almost lost to the Normal-type Pokémon Diggersby that the Electric-type Gym Leader Clemont had just caught.
Not to mention various small occasions.
Scenes of being knocked down also appeared in Gym battles.
Does Ash have protagonist aura?
Of course he does.
It was just that before the XY anime... no, before the XY anime, Ash's protagonist aura in battles was sometimes effective and sometimes not; anyone could beat Pikachu.
Including the Manalo Conference, if it weren't for Alain being unable to compete, where would it be Ash's turn to win the League Conference.
Right now, Ash hadn't gotten the 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt, so what could he win with just 【10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt】? Wait until you get 【10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt】 before talking!
Professor Kukui said with a smile: "Then, same as the previous battle mode, one-on-one, are you ready?"
Both nodded in unison.
"Then... battle start!"
The words fell.
Ash couldn't wait to give the command: "Quick Attack!"
Zing!
"Pika!"
The small and exquisite yellow fat mouse turned into a sharp white light, rushing toward the huge Aggron at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Although the timeline was in the early stages of the Sun and Moon anime, Pikachu's Quick Attack already had the prototype of a future "pseudo-Extreme Speed."
All Baimu laughed and took out the Key Stone.
He didn't have the bad habit of going all out only after his Pokémon had been hit.
"Mega Evolution!"
"Goo-roar!"
Aggron let out a low growl, and the dazzling light of evolution erupted from within its body. The surging energy that couldn't be suppressed turned into air waves circling around it.
The moment Pikachu approached while riding the white light, it suddenly erupted!
Boom!
"Pika——"
Pikachu screamed and was blown away by the turbulence.
Fortunately, it had experienced this situation many times, adjusted its posture in mid-air, and landed easily.
Ash clenched his fists excitedly: "Mega Evolution?"
He knew Aggron had Mega Evolution; he had stayed home watching the TV for the finals during the live broadcast of the Ever Grande Conference.
The light dimmed.
Mega Aggron, like a walking fortress, came into everyone's view.
—【Heavy】.
This was the first impression in everyone's mind.
Mega Aggron was like a super-huge iron ingot melted into one, making people not have the desire to strike it with physical means like hammers.
Ash thought so too, therefore.
"Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!"
"Pika! Pika——Chu!!"
Pikachu jumped up in response, its whole body wrapped in flashing thunder, and the thick, bright yellow lightning flew toward Mega Aggron like a dancing long snake!
"Flash Cannon."
All Baimu's command was not slow, or rather, it was only half a second after Ash's order.
His rhythm was completely different from the rhythm of the battle with Kiawe earlier, changing from passively receiving moves to actively fighting!
"Goo-roar!"
Mega Aggron quickly opened its big mouth, and energy with a metallic luster gathered into a light ball, then formed a thick silver beam of light to meet the incoming Thunderbolt!
Boom!
The two energies collided and then exploded violently, forming thick smoke.
Cancelled out?
All Baimu was slightly surprised.
Mega Aggron's Special Attack was no longer what it used to be, plus the blessing of energy level, he originally thought it would directly suppress Pikachu's Thunderbolt or even counterattack.
Didn't expect it.
Sure enough, he still underestimated Pikachu's Thunderbolt a bit.
How could a move that had been carried through so many seasons be weak?
All Baimu nodded secretly.
In fact, if he could have traveled later, seeing the friendship Thunderbolt in the Masters Eight finals, he would have been able to accept the scene before him even more.
And Ash, seeing the smoke, his eyes brightened and he shouted again: "Quick Attack!"
"Pika!"
Pikachu rushed straight ahead, instantly piercing through the smoke and spreading a large circle of bright light, the lightning-fast speed even faster than before.
In the blink of an eye.
It had already arrived in front of Mega Aggron, not fearing the opponent's huge size and thick armor at all, and jumped up bravely.
"Iron Tail!"
"Iron Head."
Two commands rang out.
Pikachu's lightning-shaped tail swayed, and a metallic luster covered it.
"Pika——"
It spun violently, as if to apply higher power to Iron Tail.
Mega Aggron below looked on coldly, its thick double horns and head armor covered in shining silver light, actively ramming into Pikachu's Iron Tail!
Bang!
A terrifying muffled sound like a city gate being hit by a chariot!
Sparks seemed to spray where Iron Tail and Iron Head collided, but it only lasted for a short moment, and Pikachu was hit into the sky by Mega Aggron like a meteor!
"Pi——"
Ash was shocked: "Pikachu!"
All Baimu pressed the attack, not intending to give Pikachu a chance to land and reorganize, "Heavy Slam."
"Goo-roar!"
Mega Aggron jumped up with a bang.
The force of the half-ton giant made the ground tremble suddenly, and even a small pit appeared.
The onlookers widened their eyes.
Completely unable to understand how such a huge Pokémon could have this kind of jumping ability, even the Rotom Pokédex made a "cannot understand, cannot understand" crashing sound.
Even more exaggerated.
It was faster than the flying Pikachu, jumping into the sky, and the majestic Steel-type energy distorted the air around it like flames.
"Goo-roar——"
The shining sun became its background.
Ash felt something was wrong and hurriedly shouted: "Pikachu! Quick, use Electro Ball!"
Pikachu, spinning in mid-air, hurriedly came back to its senses.
It looked up at the higher Mega Aggron, and an Electro Ball rapidly enlarged at the tip of its tail.
But unfortunately.
Pikachu's speed was slow.
Mega Aggron, like a silver meteor, fell down with a bang!
Boom——
The air let out a dull howl.
Pikachu had just landed and had just swung the formed Electro Ball from its tail when Mega Aggron smashed down on its head, with no room for much dodging.
Thud!
A deafening explosion echoed throughout the entire battle field!
Smoke and air waves rolled and spread. Kiawe and the others closest to it couldn't help but step back to stabilize their figures, which avoided being blown down.
"Pikachu——"
Ash shouted nervously.
The onlookers also clenched their fists, their gazes locked on the inside of the field.
The smoke dissipated quickly.
Mega Aggron stood calmly to the side, in front of it was a large pit more than two meters deep.
And at the bottom of the pit.
Undoubtedly Pikachu, who had landed.
But what made All Baimu and Mega Aggron feel surprised was that Pikachu actually hadn't fallen.
"Pi... Pika..."
The yellow fat mouse was covered in dust, its figure swaying, looking extremely disheveled.
Ash shouted: "Pikachu! Are you okay?"
"Pika!"
Pikachu jumped out of the pit and retreated to his side.
Although it looked disheveled, no matter what, Pikachu hadn't been knocked down by Heavy Slam in one go.
Just like in the Ever Grande Conference, where it fought Metagross and then Tyranitar, eating I don't know how many moves, yet still stood firm until it gave Charizard a Thunderbolt before falling.
Wanting to kill this old hand in one move was indeed quite difficult.
Fortunately.
The problem wasn't big.
He looked at Mega Aggron.
A short exchange was enough to test the opponent's weight. Pikachu's problem lay in the instability of its strength—
Not the instability of different performances in each match, but the instability during the battle process.
For example, the two Quick Attacks before and after.
The latter Quick Attack was obviously much faster than the former, so fast that Mega Aggron almost didn't react.
Another point.
The same problem as Gladion.
Who taught it to let small-sized Pokémon jump up to attack large-sized Pokémon? Afraid that their advantage was too great, and liked to give away points?
Since Pikachu liked to use Iron Tail like this.
Regardless of whether it had miraculous effects before, anyway, you left this weakness for All Baimu to hit, and All Baimu would definitely take it all.
He looked leisurely at Ash opposite.
Sure enough, he started to pose.
"Come on, Pikachu!"
"Pika!"
Pikachu stood up firmly, raised its claws high, and Ash posed in the same posture, brilliant radiance shining on his body.
"This is our full-power strike!"
He shouted, and Pikachu continued to let out "Pika Pika" responses, condensing shining thunder in front of it!
In an instant.
The person and Pikachu punched toward Mega Aggron simultaneously.
"10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt!!"
Rumble!!
Violent electricity rushed toward Mega Aggron like a thunder dragon.
All Baimu looked at the terrifying thunder that was crazily licking the ground and blowing up I don't know how many small stones, and said: "Metal Burst."
The words fell.
The thunder dragon swallowed Mega Aggron!
Boom——!!
The deafening explosion echoed throughout the entire battle field, the roaring thunder raged in the field, and then rushed straight into the sky, piercing through heaven and earth!
The strong wind whistled!
A huge mushroom cloud rose.
Still quite fierce?
All Baimu blinked, the scene in front of him, which was all white and nothing could be seen, gradually recovered. Compared with it, Turtonator's 【Inferno Overdrive】 was indeed not enough to look at.
"Did he take it down?"
The hearts of the onlookers hung high.
Ash and Pikachu were also panting violently, staring fixedly at the front where the smoke was rolling.
Unfortunately.
When a huge figure overflowing with silver light slowly appeared from the smoke, the hope in their eyes gradually turned into despair.
"Goo-roar..."
Mega Aggron's roar was like thunder, and like the judgment of a god.
The uncontrollable energy formed fine electricity on its body surface, flickering constantly, challenging Pikachu and Ash's nerves.
"Elec—" he just wanted to open his mouth.
The next moment.
The dazzling radiance like the sun descending swallowed the entire battle field.
The world became silent.
And terrifying.
It was as if everything had become nothingness.
The onlookers didn't realize the deafening sound stimulating their eardrums until the light in front of them dimmed, and then they discovered that this move didn't have any shock waves!
Why is this?
They were confused.
And only Professor Kukui, who was hiding his secret identity, knew clearly that this was proof that the power of the move was all released on the opponent.
100%.
No exposure at all. ===== CHAPTER 799 =====
