Chapter 367 Pikachu vs. Suicune, the explosion of high-voltage electric shock!
Faced with Suicune's challenge, Ash chose Pikachu as his opponent this time.
On one hand, Pikachu's Electric type is effective against Suicune; on the other hand, Pikachu has just returned to the Elite Four level and needs a high-pressure battle to unleash its full potential.
Elite Four level is the level Pikachu already reached. He's just back here now. The next level is the one Pikachu will truly begin to strive for.
For most Pokémon, the journey from Gym Leader to Elite Four is a significant hurdle, much more difficult than the journey from Elite Four Beginner to Elite Four Intermediate. However, for Pikachu, the journey from Gym Leader to Elite Four is relatively easy, as it has already reached that level before.
From the beginner level of Elite Four to the intermediate level, that's a realm they've never reached before. Even so, Pikachu is already close to catching up with Charizard and the others. This battle might just be the opportunity for them to advance.
If it can break through, it means that Pikachu will return to the ranks of the three giants, and will be the top one among the three.
However, it seems that all of Ash's lost battles were due to type advantage.
In the battles between Charizard and Glaceon, and between Pikachu and Togekiss, Ash held the type advantage in both matches. However, despite having the type advantage, he still lost the battles.
In contrast, he defeated his opponents in many battles involving type disadvantages. If trainers had titles, Ash would probably be considered a master of type disadvantages by now.
Will they be able to win this battle of type advantage and wash away the shameful record of always losing to type advantage players?
As Ash's voice faded, Pikachu jumped from beside Ash to in front of him, its cheeks crackling with golden electricity, looking eager and excited.
At the same time, Ash's Poké Ball opened, and Mewtwo appeared in front of Suicune.
The moment Mewtwo appeared, Suicune's fur stood on end, and it stared intently at Mewtwo, sensing an extremely terrifying aura emanating from the Pokémon.
This Pokémon has reached the same level as Ho-Oh. I never expected that Ho-Oh's messenger would have such a Pokémon. No wonder Ho-Oh had the three legendary beasts test him.
When Suicune first saw Ash, he thought the other party was too young. Although he had not appeared in front of humans for many years, he and the other three legendary beasts had been silently observing humans.
It's generally clear what level humans can reach at what age. At Ash's age, having a Gym-level Pokémon at best would already be considered genius. To expect to pass the test of the three legendary beasts is somewhat of a pipe dream.
But now it seems that the clown is actually himself. Even if the three legendary beasts attacked together, they might not be a match for that elf, let alone one by one.
However, it seems Ash doesn't intend to send out that Pokémon in this battle, but instead—
Suicune's gaze fell upon the small figure before him. Compared to the oppressive aura emanating from Mewtwo, Pikachu's presence was negligible. Although he was somewhat surprised that a Pikachu could reach such a level, he was still not qualified.
It would be more appropriate to let the newly released Pokémon come, but if that newly released Pokémon were to come and battle, then it would be the one that is not qualified.
"Ooh~" Ho-Oh's messenger, are you sure you want to use Pikachu in this battle?
"Of course, Pikachu is my partner. Don't underestimate him, or you'll suffer a great loss!" Ash said confidently to Suicune with a smile on his lips.
Those who looked down on Pikachu were all cut down by his tail, and Suicune will be no exception!
As Ash finished speaking, he took off his hat and threw it forward. The hat landed squarely on Pikachu, and instantly, Pikachu and the hat seemed to merge into one—a partner form!
Facing an opponent of Suicune's caliber, not using your partner form from the start would be disrespectful.
Besides the partner form, there is also — Waveguide resides in my heart!
"Boom!!" The superposition of the two forces caused a qualitative change in the aura that Pikachu was exuding. The usually calm and collected North Wind Avatar watched helplessly as the previously insignificant Electric Mouse had reached a level that was almost on par with the Sleeve in just a few seconds. For a moment, Suicune was questioning his life. What kind of thing is this?
Has humanity progressed to this point without us even realizing it? That doesn't make sense!
Even if he is the messenger of the Phoenix King, he still has to abide by the basic laws of the world! What does it mean to go from Elite Four to Champion in just a few seconds?
This is as ridiculous as a peacock evolving into a ho-king!
"We've got Suicune ready. Let's begin this first test! It'll be perfect as an outpost for our entry into the Johto region!" Ash said excitedly, waving his hand.
It's been a long time since I've had a battle where I went all out. The last time I fought with all my might was when I commanded Mewtwo, and before that, I commanded Charizard and Lorelei.
Pikachu hasn't experienced the power of a champion in a long time, because he had been in recovery and had only just returned to the Elite Four level. Since reaching the Elite Four level, he hasn't fought a single battle. This is his first battle after rehabilitation!
In Ash's eyes, Suicune's various stats were already displayed. In addition to reaching Champion-level, its HP, Special Attack, and Speed were all at S-rank, and the other three stats were at A-rank. Such stats would be extremely impressive for a normal Pokémon.
However, when it comes to legendary Pokémon, it can only be described as mediocre. Ash has seen more than one or two legendary Pokémon with four or five S-rank stats, and even quite a few with all S-rank stats. Moreover, his Gardevoir also has the maximum stats of all S-rank Pokémon.
Therefore, Suicune's stats are not surprising enough to shock him; in terms of combat power, it should be about the same as Pikachu's current strength.
Pikachu's level is Elite Four beginner, it can reach Elite Four intermediate after partnering, and after Aura Fusion it reaches Champion intermediate. With the boost from Electric Ball, it can easily go head-to-head with Champion Suicune.
"I'll take care of the safety around here, so you guys can fight freely." Mewtwo's voice appeared in the minds of Suicune, Ash, and the others. Immediately afterwards, a barrier enveloped Pikachu and Suicune, covering an area the size of an arena, which was the area where the fog was dispelled.
The area above the barrier is empty, since some skills and moves require the power of heaven and earth. If the area above is also blocked, then some skills cannot be used.
Mewtwo, now at the intermediate level of the Divine Realm, can easily take on two Champion-level Pokémon in battle.
He could even defend against the aftershocks of battles between god-level beings. Psychic-type Pokémon are the most well-rounded among all Pokémon of the same level, not to mention Mewtwo is a legendary Psychic-type Pokémon.
Suicune glanced at the surrounding barriers and finally understood why Ash had released Mewtwo. She hadn't expected that this Ho-Oh messenger would be carrying a field limiter.
That would indeed allow them to fight with complete freedom. Otherwise, if a battle between champions cannot be resolved quickly, it might destroy the entire forest, and even the distant town of Wakaba would be affected.
"Whoa!!" Suicune cried out and launched the first attack. It opened its mouth and a jet of light blue water shot out, spiraling towards Pikachu.
The moment the water column appeared, the surrounding water vapor even increased!
With such power and size, there is no doubt that this move is a powerful water-type attack – Water Cannon!
Instant water cannon fire—that's the power of a mythical beast.
"Pikachu, use Quick Attack to dodge!" Only a fool would try to withstand such a powerful move, so Ash immediately told Pikachu to dodge first.
Before the words were even finished, Pikachu's golden figure transformed into a blur, a faint crack of electricity beneath its feet, and it instantly moved several meters to the side.
Almost the instant it left its spot, the light blue water cannon crashed down!
"boom!"
The violent impact shook the ground, creating a deep crater several meters in diameter in what was originally a flat forest. The soil at the bottom of the crater was overturned, and the surrounding shrubs and shrubs were snapped in half by the force of the water flow. The splashing water rained down on the ground like a downpour.
Even though Pikachu moved incredibly fast, it still got splashed with water a little, but this didn't cause it any harm or have any effect on Pikachu.
"Now! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt at full power!" Ash seized the opening when Suicune was using its move and swung his arm sharply to give the order.
As soon as Pikachu landed on one foot and stood firmly, his eyes flashed with electricity, the electric sacs on his cheeks flickered wildly, and golden currents condensed into thick pillars of electricity that wrapped around his body, turning Pikachu into an electric mouse that looked like it was cast in gold. His fur stood on end due to the surge of electricity, and the air around him was slightly distorted by the heat of the current.
"Pikachu Pikachu!!" With Pikachu's shout, a high-voltage electric shock carrying an aura of destruction transformed into golden lightning and blasted straight toward Suicune.
Wherever the current passed, the water on the ground was instantly electrolyzed, producing a large number of white bubbles. The originally moist soil was scorched and cracked by the current. The current flowed over the remaining water, and spiderweb-like scorch marks were outlined on the ground. The entire battlefield seemed to have been transformed into a hell of electric light.
Suijun's pupils contracted sharply as he sensed the terrifying energy contained in the high-voltage electric shock. His expression turned solemn, and a hurried voice came from his mouth.
"Whoa!" As the sound rang out, water vapor gathered wildly around Suicune, and the water beneath her feet seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, spinning rapidly. In a moment, it formed a deep blue vortex several meters in diameter. The water flowed swiftly along the vortex wall, carrying a whistling wind that firmly protected Suicune in the center.
Water-type move: Tidal Whirl! This move corresponds to the Fire-type Flame Vortex. Although the damage it causes is not very high, it will cause continuous damage, making it impossible for the opponent to escape from the vortex.
Although the Whirlpool is an offensive skill, it can also serve as a solid barrier when used defensively.
"Boom!!" The golden high-voltage electric shock collided violently with the deep blue vortex, the ear-piercing sound of electricity and the sound of water exploding intertwined, causing the barrier to tremble slightly.
At first, the whirlpool barely resisted the impact of the electric current with the help of the turbulent water flow. White water mist constantly burst out at the point where the water flow collided with the current, and the walls of the whirlpool were covered with tiny sparks of electricity.
However, as Pikachu and Ash's power increased, the vortex created by Suicune began to be corroded by golden electricity. The electricity coiled around the entire vortex like a giant python, while Pikachu, as the core of the power, continuously impacted the center of the vortex.
"Crack!" Cracks first appeared on the vortex wall of the whirlpool, the rotation speed of the water gradually slowed down, and the originally dark blue vortex began to become turbid.
The next second, accompanied by a deafening roar, the high-voltage electric shock completely broke through the vortex's defenses. The golden current, like a flood bursting its banks, slammed directly into Suicune and spread throughout the entire battlefield.
Suicune let out a painful cry as its body was blasted several meters away by the electric current, crashing heavily to the ground. Its fur was smoldering slightly from the shock, and many parts of its body were charred black.
In terms of attack, Pikachu is the best in the team. Its Electric Shock is a powerful move of the Electric type, and even Suicune can't block it with just a Whirlpool.
On the battlefield, the water that was originally stirred up by the whirlpool was now boiling, the ground was covered with scorched pits of varying depths, the branches of the surrounding trees were scorched black by the electric current, and the air was filled with the smell of water vapor mixed with burnt smell.
The terrifying aftershocks of the battle didn't harm Misty and the others in the slightest. You can always trust Mewtwo.jpg!
"Ash's Pikachu has gotten stronger again! It was able to break through Suicune's whirlpool head-on. In the past, even with Ash's power and Partner Form, it probably wouldn't have been able to break through that defense at all," Brock said with a look of admiration.
He and Ash had only been apart for a month, yet Pikachu had made significant progress. This wasn't just about moving from a gym to becoming an Elite Four member; Pikachu was now considered one of the strongest Pokémon among the beginner Elite Four members.
Otherwise, if you rely on external forces to upgrade to Champion Intermediate, how can you break through the defense of Champion High-level Suicune?
Even elemental advantage won't work.
"What is Partner Form? Is it because of Ash's hat?" Serena didn't know about Pikachu's Partner Form. Although this wasn't the first time Ash had shown Partner Form, it was the first time Serena had heard the term.
Prior to this, she had used Partner Mode in a battle against Yuuji, but at that time her attention was entirely focused on the battle, and she did not notice Pikachu's special change.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxia also took the opportunity to explain the so-called partner form to Serena. It is a special state for Ash and Pikachu. As long as they wear the hat, they can increase their power, become one with one mind, and have exclusive skills. In short, they are cheating.
"Wow, wearing a hat can make you that powerful! Is it Ash's hat that's magical, or is Ash's Pikachu special?!"
Xiaoxia shook her head: "None of those, the special one is Xiaozhi!"
