Chapter 117

Only after it appeared, those eyes rolled around.

After seeing that there was no figure of Rowlet on the field.

Empoleon finally relaxed completely.

As long as the opponent can't fly, then everything is easy to talk about!

Then.

Its eyes looked at Melmetal on the opposite side of the field.

You are my opponent now, right?

I must beat the crap out of you!

Relying on Empoleon's keen sense of smell, it immediately felt that this Pokémon's type is Steel.

And only Steel!

Then what else is there to say!

Empoleon is least afraid of the Steel-type!

With 4 times resistance to the Steel-type, Empoleon doesn't even know how to lose!

No sooner said than done!

The first moment Empoleon appeared.

Ash had already commanded Melmetal to launch an attack.

"Melmetal! Spin! Use Double Iron Bash!"

In the field.

Melmetal, which is two and a half meters tall, spun like a top.

The sound of the wind brought about by the high-speed rotation made the people around subconsciously cover their ears.

Similar to Double Iron Bash, Double Iron Bash is also a move that uses rotation to swing both fists to launch an attack.

Facing the approaching Melmetal in the current situation.

Professor Kukui also commanded Empoleon to counterattack.

"Empoleon, meet it with Metal Claw!"

With the confidence of 4 times resistance!

Empoleon didn't flinch at all.

"Tui~"

After its wings flashed with metallic color, Empoleon shot toward Melmetal in front like an arrow released from a bow.

"Ding!"

The sound of metal collision resounded in the arena.

Blocked!

Using its wings and its own resistance, Empoleon successfully blocked Melmetal's Double Iron Bash.

"Ash! Your Melmetal is indeed very strong, but facing my Empoleon, you can't gain any advantage at all!"

At this time, Professor Kukui is very confident.

In the current situation, he can almost certainly say it's ten-zero.

He really can't think of a way for Ash to win.

Melmetal is completely restrained by Empoleon!

It's just.

Professor Kukui ignored one thing.

His opponent is Ash.

That is the trainer with the number one unexpectedness!

"Very powerful Empoleon!"

Before commanding, Ash praised Empoleon first.

Empoleon, who was already very emotional, blushed.

No matter how much you praise me, I won't go easy on you!

"Tui!"

This is its principle as a Pokémon!

However.

"Melmetal, now, use Flash Cannon!"

The moment Empoleon answered, Ash ordered Melmetal to launch an attack.

Empoleon, who had successfully blocked Melmetal, was grabbed by its wings by Melmetal.

Attack and reversal are in a single thought.

Just in the blink of an eye.

Attack and defense swapped immediately.

Empoleon, whose wings were clamped, tried desperately to break free from Melmetal's restraint.

However, Melmetal's strength is surprisingly strong.

No matter how Empoleon struggled, it couldn't break free.

And.

At this time, the Flash Cannon had successfully finished charging on top of Melmetal's head.

"Hydro Pump!"

The sudden change caught Professor Kukui off guard.

How did the flag just set take effect immediately!

Forced, he could only order Empoleon to counterattack.

In an instant.

The pillar of light piercing the sky swallowed half of Empoleon's body at a very fast speed.

In the white light.

Empoleon opened its mouth with all its strength.

Then a blue stream of water brewed from its mouth.

Empoleon tried to use the water stream to flush away the Flash Cannon.

But this is obviously wishful thinking.

This is Melmetal's Flash Cannon!

Just like that, the water stream was submerged in the scorching white light before it could even raise a ripple.

Fortunately, Empoleon has 4 times resistance to Steel-type attacks.

But even so.

The violent attack on the head made Empoleon really unable to bear it.

After the Flash Cannon dissipated.

Melmetal lifted Empoleon in its hand and threw it hard toward the side of the field.

The battle before them formed a one-sided situation.

In Melmetal's hands.

Empoleon is just a meat shield.

There is no chance of counterattack at all.

Empoleon, who was thrown to the side of the field, shook its head and struggled to get up.

After a series of operations just now.

The most severely injured was actually this last throw.

Empoleon began to doubt life.

Why are the enemies encountered twice all such enemies?

Why!

【May: Empoleon is so pitiful, it didn't even have time to do anything before being attacked like this.】

【Wallace: May, Pokémon battle is not a Pokémon Contest. Everything is based on victory. At the moment of participating in the battle, Empoleon should have been prepared for this.】

【Ash: Exactly! Pokémon battle must not be mixed with anything else! This is the purest love! Fighting with your partners is such an exciting thing!】 ===== CHAPTER 118 =====
