Chapter 137

Pikachu shook its head, trying to make itself sober.

Can't fall asleep here.

Otherwise, the opportunity to play that it had worked so hard to get would be wasted like this.

But no matter how Pikachu struggled.

It had no effect at all.

Solar Beam had finished charging.

Then, the golden light of spring shot out from the flower bud.

The huge impact sprayed Pikachu out from it like a fountain.

Forcing its way through the damage of Solar Beam, Pikachu then managed to escape the flower bud with difficulty.

The damage caused by Solar Beam also released Pikachu from the state of being about to fall asleep.

Although it suffered some damage.

It could still withstand it for the time being.

"Pika!"

As soon as it came out.

Pikachu immediately pointed at Professor Kukui and shouted.

"Pikachu, I'm sorry, but this is a battle, I will absolutely not show mercy."

Professor Kukui spread his hands, indicating that he had no choice either.

"Venusaur, use Vine Whip to knock Pikachu down!"

"Gwa~"

At this moment.

Venusaur took a deep breath.

Two vine whips, several times thicker than before, emerged from both sides of its body.

Two vine whips plus Venusaur's dynamic eyes.

Made Pikachu, which was still in mid-air, see stars.

Until it landed.

Pikachu walked toward Ash's side while spinning in circles.

【Brock: It appeared! Pikachu's acting!】

【Diantha: It's really cute, I really want to pinch Pikachu's little cheeks.】

【Sophocles: Such a cool Venusaur! Didn't expect every one of Professor Kukui's Pokémon to be so powerful! No wonder he could become the Masked Royal!】

A group of children still studying at the Alola Pokémon School were discussing excitedly while looking at the light screen.

They are Ash's future partners in Alola.

But now they all leaned toward Professor Kukui's side.

No way.

In Alola.

The Masked Royal is just too popular.

They also didn't expect that this professor who often came to give them lessons was actually the Masked Royal.

In an instant, the power of idols outweighed everything.

……

In the screen—

Looking at Pikachu, who started acting again for some reason.

Ash only felt a headache.

Big brother, act a bit more normally.

Not to mention the audience.

This time even Ash could see that Pikachu was really acting.

This swaying posture, it acted really like the real thing.

If it weren't for the fact that Pikachu only had a few scratches on its body.

Ash wouldn't have suspected it was fake.

"Pikachu, come back first." Ash sighed, and could only swap Pikachu out from the field.

Hearing Ash's words.

Pikachu immediately recovered its spirit from that state of being about to faint.

In three steps, it jumped onto Ash's shoulder.

"Pika~"

Pikachu even rubbed against Ash's cheek coquettishly.

"Sigh."

Seeing this, the words Ash originally wanted to say were all choked back.

Pikachu, having completed the simple battle, also breathed a sigh of relief on Ash's shoulder.

Finally managed to fool it.

If it really didn't play at all in this battle.

That would be too terrible.

At least it had to play to get an assist!

It, Pikachu, can slack off, but it can't really be a freeloader!

Just like a certain famous esports player said, top 16 is better than being at home.

Anyway, it has played now.

The next things don't belong to it; its group of little brothers were quite fierce in this battle.

It will just watch the show on Ash's shoulder.

Seeming to see Pikachu's thoughts.

After Ash reached out and touched Pikachu's cheeks, he took out a Poké Ball from his pocket.

Ash now still had three Pokémon.

They were Pikachu, who had just played and slacked off, Incineroar, who had rested in the Poké Ball for a while, and Naganadel, who had just been recalled into the Beast Ball.

Ash looked at the Venusaur in front of him.

Ash made a decision that went against his heart.

In his team, except for Pikachu.

The other two Pokémon both suppress Venusaur.

So it was hard for him to activate his Reverse-type Master characteristic again.

Therefore.

Ash decisively sent out Incineroar, who had rested for a while!

The red light of the Poké Ball flashed.

Incineroar landed in the arena.

"Roar!"

As soon as it entered the field, the tiger's roar swept across the entire arena.

Having rested in the Poké Ball for a while.

Incineroar finally recovered some stamina.

At this moment, it was no longer in the exhausted state after the duel with Professor Kukui's Incineroar.

After all, it had a modified version of Flash Fire.

Although its state wasn't full.

But it could start fighting.

"Incineroar, let's win the match in one go!"

"Use!"

"Blast Burn!"

Seeing this scene, Professor Kukui immediately commanded his Venusaur to counterattack. ===== CHAPTER 138 =====
