Chapter 433: Release it! Forgive me, but Zapdos refuses!

The Poké Ball pressed gently against the top of Zapdos's head.

Subsequently, Zapdos transformed into a beam of white light and was sucked inside.

This time, the Poké Ball did not shatter into pieces like the last time.

Instead, after wobbling, it gradually calmed down.

What does this represent!

At the moment the Poké Ball stopped shaking.

The entire world fell into a state of silence.

It wasn't that they hadn't seen Trainers capture deities before, but this was the first time they had seen a deity captured in front of everyone.

And unlike ordinary Trainers who use emotion and reason to persuade a deity to join their team.

Ash and Pikachu had truly and genuinely conquered Zapdos with their own strength.

And that was in the area where the opponent was most proficient!

The Lei Shen, ultimately defeated by thunder!

It sounds ironic, but isn't this also a kind of glory!

Being able to be defeated by Pikachu's hands, Zapdos should feel fortunate for itself!

【Lorelei: Ah, this, this is too dramatic, right? Zapdos, known as the Lei Shen, being defeated by Pikachu with an Electric-type move like 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt—I really can't hold it together.】

【Volkner: I declare that from now on, Zapdos is stripped of the title of Lei Shen, and from this moment on, Ash's Pikachu is the true Lei Shen!】

【Professor Kukui: To be fair, Zapdos is still worthy of the title of Lei Shen. You have to know that this was 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt, which even defeated Tapu Koko, who possesses a divine office!】

【Lance: Now that you mention it, it does seem to be the case. Compared to an Island Guardian, this Zapdos without a divine office being defeated by 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt seems quite logical.】

【Elesa: You all make it sound like defeating Zapdos is very simple. Why don't you try it yourselves?】

【Wattson: Let this old man correct you: Ash didn't just simply defeat Zapdos; he used the strongest Electric-type move to make Zapdos acknowledge him. That is not something just anyone can do.】

【Tobias: No wonder when I captured Darkrai back then, Darkrai didn't struggle much. It turns out it was because Darkrai couldn't give me nightmares while by my side!】

【Brandon: You are quite a talent yourself. If even Darkrai can't give you nightmares, I think you should go get your brain checked; its structure might be different from ours.】

【Cynthia: Let's congratulate Ash. Ash has beaten Zapdos into submission this time and captured the opponent. Now Ash can also be called a Proxy of the Gods.】

【Bruno: Master Ash's list of titles is probably going to grow by one more!】

Following the Rainbow Hero and the Sea Hero.

Ash has obtained another title: Proxy of the Gods!

……

In the screen—

After the Poké Ball stopped shaking.

Ash stepped forward and picked up the Poké Ball.

Finally, he glanced at Pikachu to the side.

Starlight flickered in both of their eyes.

"I've captured Zapdos!"

"Pika-pi～"

Ash and Pikachu hit it off immediately; Pikachu leaped gently in front of Ash, and then Ash and Pikachu high-fived simultaneously.

Their tacit understanding went without saying.

It could be said that this battle was the most exhilarating one Ash and Pikachu had fought in a long time.

The opponents in the previous World Coronation Series were all unable to make Pikachu use its full strength.

Not only was Pikachu uncomfortable.

Even Ash was very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this opponent was strong enough.

It even forced him and Pikachu to use a move like 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt.

However, Zapdos clearly did not have the ability to take 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt in full.

As for Pikachu.

It finally taught that scruffy bird, which had been discharging electricity in front of it, a lesson.

Of course, that was the nickname used before capturing Zapdos.

Now that it had captured the opponent, Pikachu could not lead the way in causing division.

Since it is also an Electric-type like itself, it's no big deal to let the opponent be its little brother.

Picking up the Poké Ball, Ash left the rooftop of the power plant with Koharu, who was still in shock.

Their destination was naturally the Pokémon Center.

Pikachu also needed a check-up after the battle just now.

After all, Pikachu had withstood Zapdos's Thunder for so long.

As for Zapdos, it had to be treated properly.

First, it was hit by Pikachu's Thunder, and then it was struck by 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt.

It also suffered the side effects of Wild Charge.

Being able to maintain consciousness until the very end of being captured, its self-awareness was already quite remarkable.

Arriving at the Pokémon Center.

Ash placed Pikachu and the Poké Ball containing Zapdos in front of Nurse Joy.

Nurse Joy and Ash could be considered old acquaintances.

Ash's Riolu Egg was obtained from this very Pokémon Center.

Upon seeing that the visitor was Ash, Nurse Joy greeted him warmly.

After letting Ash wait for a while.

Nurse Joy took Pikachu and the Poké Ball to the recovery room in the back.

After a while.

Nurse Joy walked in front of Ash with the Poké Ball and Pikachu.

However.

At this moment, Nurse Joy's face was full of hesitation. ===== CHAPTER 434 =====
