Chapter 601

Bruno clutched his chest in pain; what was flowing from his fingertips?

Ah!

It was his shattered heart!

In the screen—

Neither Sceptile nor Darkrai took the first move.

Both sides were waiting for their trainer's command.

In a battle of this level, even a tiny mistake could ruin the advantage of the entire match.

Both the trainer and the Pokémon were extremely careful.

"Darkrai, Dark Void."

In the end, it was Tobias who launched the attack first.

Following his order.

Darkrai on the field immediately took action.

As the signature move of the Nightmare Pokémon, Darkrai's proficiency with Dark Void could be said to be ridiculously high.

With a wave of its hand.

A mass of black substance shot rapidly toward Sceptile on the other side of the field.

At the same time.

Ash's command also sounded at this moment.

"Sceptile! Use Agility to dodge!"

As the words fell.

Sceptile bit down on the twig in its mouth.

Then its whole body pressed down, and the Pokémon disappeared from its original spot like an arrow released from a bow.

The speed was so fast that three or four moving green figures of Sceptile could be seen on the field.

Facing the Dark Void thrown by Darkrai.

Sceptile easily dodged it.

At the same time.

The distance between the two was gradually closing.

Such fast speed made Tobias freeze.

This Sceptile was much faster than it was three years ago.

He vaguely remembered that in that Lily of the Valley Conference back then.

His Pokémon Darkrai's Dark Void had easily hit this Sceptile.

Tobias had originally planned to use the combo of Dark Void and Dream Eater to take out one of Ash's Pokémon at the start.

Who knew that the speed Sceptile displayed in this instant would amaze him.

"Very good, I acknowledge this Sceptile of yours, but do you think you can dodge Darkrai's attack like this! You underestimate me too much!"

After saying this.

Tobias's originally scattered eyes instantly focused.

His whole person also radiated an aura completely different from the lazy state before.

"Darkrai! Ice Beam!"

The next moment.

Darkrai gathered its hands in front of its chest.

Then it released two blue beams toward Sceptile, which was still approaching.

Sceptile's type is Grass.

Once hit by Ice Beam, it would take double damage.

Facing Darkrai's almost sealing dual-handed Ice Beam.

Sceptile could only stop its steps and dodge backward.

"It's you who underestimate me! Do you know how many battles against you I've practiced in these three years!"

"What does that have to do with me?"

Ash was just about to excitedly share his inner journey, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Tobias.

And facing this situation.

Ash decided that he must mock him hard after winning!

Who told this Tobias to be so annoying!

"Sceptile! Bullet Seed!"

Ash reached forward and pointed, then gave the order.

"Qia!"

Sceptile's golden pupils quickly scanned Darkrai.

Then it already had a corresponding plan in its heart.

Calmness is Sceptile's synonym; no matter when, it can maintain absolute focus.

Just like now!

Sceptile's body leaped gently backward.

Then it began to brew green Grass-type energy in its mouth.

The next moment, its mouth opened slightly.

Countless emerald green light spots shot toward the front like a machine gun.

Sceptile's Bullet Seed was aimed at Darkrai's hands.

All it needed to do was make Darkrai stop the Ice Beam in its hands!

The development of the situation was just as Ash and Sceptile had expected.

Although the power of Bullet Seed wasn't high.

But it was extremely useful for interrupting moves.

The continuous Bullet Seed made Darkrai unable to maintain the Ice Beam in its hands.

Forced, it could only stop its actions.

"Now it's our turn! Sceptile, X-Scissor!"

From the moment he lost to Tobias at the Lily of the Valley Conference.

Ash had reviewed that battle in his heart.

In that battle, besides the strength of Darkrai and Latios, what Tobias truly relied on to win.

Was the combination of moves.

Whether it was Ice Beam or Dark Void plus Dream Eater.

Tobias's move configuration was complementary.

Once hit by any move, the opponent would be followed by a whole set of combos.

Darkrai did this better than Latios!

To deal with Darkrai, one must finish the battle quickly.

Although he had the buff called "Master of Reversed Attributes".

But when dealing with a Pokémon like Darkrai, it's best not to use this buff if possible.

After all!

The opponent is not an ordinary opponent.

Once there is any mistake, the whole battle will be lost.

And to deal with the Dark-type Darkrai.

Besides Fighting-type moves, the most useful ones are Bug-type and Fairy-type.

Sceptile naturally couldn't learn Fairy-type moves.

Then in this situation, the most useful ones are Bug-type moves!

Just like now!

Darkrai, whose Ice Beam was interrupted, was still waiting for Tobias's command.
