Chapter 3798: ?When Pokémon Power Isn't Enough, Naturally the Trainer Rolls Up His Sleeves?

Ash gritted his teeth, then tossed out another Poké Ball. "Sceptile, go rescue Charizard."

From Sceptile's back, countless vines surged skyward.

They wrapped around Charizard's body and set it gently down on the ground.

Ash released Chansey as well, letting her heal Charizard.

"What a terrifying existence."

The black-robed figure paused midair, then slowly descended to the ground. He pulled off his black robe, his expression cold and stern as he stared at the group before him.

He was none other than the Demon King Sparus.

"The dimwit goddess Aqua, the face-acting goddess Lisdaide, the eternal Pokémon trainer Ash… and one perfectly abnormal fellow."

Sparus's voice was low.

Hearing this, Seiya Ryūgūin furrowed his brow, his gaze sweeping across the figures before him one by one.

The Demon King across from them—did he know these people? But he didn't look like one of the other heroes. "Seven-nine, zero."

"From here on, I will be your enemy."

Ash spoke with a solemn expression. Pikachu leapt down from his shoulder, face set, and faced off against Sparus.

"Pikachu-god…"

Sparus sighed with feeling, his tone gradually turning cold. "But I'm not… the kind of guy… who fights one-on-one and plays by the rules."

The fallen angels, devils, and demon army behind him surged toward the group in an instant.

"Already saw that one coming."

Ash threw out every Poké Ball on him—Pidgeot, Bulbasaur, Totodile, Meganium… one Pokémon after another emerged.

As the Kanto Champion, Ash had already lifted the… ban on carrying only six Pokémon.

Now, he alone was an entire army.

"Everyone, hold off the enemy… don't let them interfere with the battle between Pikachu and the Demon King."

The war had begun.

Though some of these… Pokémon on Ash were still in their initial forms, their combat power was overwhelming—far beyond what Pokémon of this level normally possessed. Even the weakest among them could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with lower-tier legendary birds like Moltres and Articuno.

The firmament was torn apart, the earth trembled, endless dense forests were burned to ash by firestorms, and mountains collapsed.

"This scene—what on earth is—"

Matthew stared blankly at the sight, his mind shaken, nearly doubting his own eyes. "What in the world is going on with these people?"

Far too strong.

Matthew had thought Seiya Ryūgūin was already an unimaginably powerful warrior.

Yet even the weakest of the Pokémon before him displayed combat power no less than Seiya Ryūgūin's.

And the clashes between these… Pokémon were nothing compared to the truly fierce battle—between Pikachu and the Demon King Sparus.

Blazing thunder-light erupted, darkness swept out in all directions, devouring and corroding everything.

Ash's face was calm, issuing command after command, pushing Pikachu's combat response speed up another notch.

"We're saved."

Aqua dropped onto her backside on the ground.

"That was rough…"

Lisdaide was moved to the point of nearly crying. "We're finally counterattacking. Take down this Demon King."

Su Han watched the scene before him with keen interest, glancing every so often at the guild chat. He found it extremely lively in there.

Miss Xia Shizi: "Don't be fooled by how shocked I look on the surface."

Let the World Feel Pain: "But you're actually really shocked."

Xuan Wo Changmen 's brow twitched.

He indicated that he had completely seen through Qiu Shiyu's tricks.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Wing Black Cat Clan: "Can you blame her for saying so?"

"Even I can't calm my heart."

Wugeng Liuli's expression was somewhat complicated.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Wing Black Cat Clan: "Haven't seen Ash in a while."

Tony Is Not the Richest: "Yeah, looks like he's been training hard with his Pokémon lately."

Tony Is Not the Richest: "And his commanding skills are really impressive too.

Completely different from before, when he just yelled through every battle."

Yuan Dagu: "…It makes me feel like the Ash right now isn't really Ash."

Gao Ban Tongnai: "What do you mean?"

Gao Ban Kyōsuke: "One line going through Ash's mind right now—"

Bai Jing Heizi: "I'm pondering a question."

Bai Jing Heizi's brow was locked tight.
