Alakazam entered the fray. After resting for more than ten minutes, Alakazam's mental strength had recovered considerably, allowing it to continue fighting.
Alakazam and Renoble are mutually restraining in terms of attributes, so neither of them gained an advantage.
"Game start."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ash immediately commanded, "Abandoned Monkey, use Shadow Punch."
"Daji!" The Abandoned Monkey threw a punch, and the black fist shadow flew quickly toward Alakazam. Because Shadow Ball is a guaranteed hit, it is difficult for Alakazam to dodge it by teleporting.
Alakazam immediately used Reflect to block the attack from Abandoned Monkey, and then fired Psychic Blast from its eyes, the energy impacting Abandoned Monkey.
"Abandoned Monkey, keep using Shadow Punch!" Ash was stubborn and insisted on trading blows.
"Use the ability to foresee the future," Shigeru calmly commanded.
Alakazam took the punch from Forsaken, used Future Sight, and then traded blows with Forsaken. Both of their skills countered each other. Even though Alakazam had Reflect, it was still badly hurt when hit by Shadow Punch. Alakazam was just too fragile.
However, Shigeru wasn't worried at all. After the two Pokémon exchanged injuries three times, an invisible wisp of spiritual energy fell from the sky and landed on Abandoned Monkey, interrupting its actions.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Shigeru commanded, "Use Self-Regeneration."
Alakazam used Regeneration, and the damage on his body healed at a visible speed.
"What! It can regenerate itself..." Ash was very surprised. He had planned to use Abandoned Monkey to take Alakazam down with him. Now that Alakazam can regenerate itself, Abandoned Monkey is at a huge disadvantage.
Gary shook his head slightly. Because he had taken Sabrina away, Ash had never battled Kadabra before, so he didn't know that Alakazam could learn Regenerate, which was a tactical oversight.
"Abandoned Monkey, use Rage Punch!" Ash commanded immediately.
"Da da ji!"
Abandoned Monkey's right fist gathered a large amount of ghostly power, turning anger into strength. With a punch, the energy on his fist left his hand and flew rapidly towards Alakazam.
Alakazam used Teleport to dodge the Fist of Fury and then used Psychic Blast to attack Forsaken.
The defeated monkey looks very brave, but its stamina is already close to its limit. Its bravery is naturally due to the monkey's own condition. When the monkey enters an angry state, it does not feel pain. It unleashes a series of angry punches, trying to kill Alakazam instantly.
The Abandoned Monkey is now just relying on luck and leaving everything to fate. If it can't stop the teleportation, everything will be in vain.
Finally, after being attacked for the eighth time, the Abandoned Monkey finally collapsed, and there was not a single intact rock left on the field; all the rocks had been shattered by the Abandoned Monkey's fists.
Alakazam won, but its mental energy was greatly depleted. If the battle continued, neither Ash's Pikachu nor Charizard would likely be able to defeat it.
"Ash only has two Pokémon left. I wonder if he'll send out Pikachu or the one he hasn't used yet," the host said.
"Ash, keep it up! Defeat one more of Gary's Pokémon!"
"Yeah, if you beat one more, I'll introduce you to my girlfriend."
"Dude, are you out of your mind? Giving away your girlfriend like that?!"
"Brother Mao, let's finish this battle with Tyranitar."
The audience cheered, and because of Ash's impressive performance, many people placed bets during halftime that Ash could defeat another Pokémon.
"These people are really annoying, their words are infuriating." Xiaoxia was very displeased when she heard the voices coming from the audience.
"It's really infuriating, but Xia, did you buy a lottery ticket?" Xiao Gang asked.
"I bought it." Xiaoxia didn't deny it. After all, as a gym leader, the League Tournament was a rare opportunity to make money for most gym leaders.
After all, the gym leaders have all fought against the trainers who make it to the official tournament. They naturally remember the strong challengers. If these trainers appear at the League Tournament, they will definitely buy their services.
"Who should I send out..." Ash was in a dilemma because he knew that Gary had Electivire. If he sent Pikachu out, it would definitely be countered by Electivire. If he sent Charizard out, it would be countered by Electivire. It was too difficult to choose.
Ash looked at Pikachu. Although Pikachu had rested for a while, it hadn't fully recovered. If Ash sent Pikachu out now, Gary would definitely send out Electivire.
Ash took the Poké Ball from his waist and threw it with all his might.
"Charizard, I'm counting on you!" Ash shouted.
Baton!
A crimson figure appeared on the field.
"Roar!!"
Charizard roared, staring intently at Gary, its eyes blazing with fury. Charizard had been with Ash since its Charmander days, and had suffered its most defeats against Gary.
2.9 Charizard had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Finally, it faced off against Gary again. This time, it would use all its strength to defeat Gary.
【LV61 Charizard♂/Champion】
Xiao Mao was surprised that Charizard's level had surpassed Pikachu's. It seemed that Charizard had been training very hard in Charizard Valley.
"Alakazam, come back and rest." Gary recalled Alakazam and then threw out a Poké Ball.
"Electrile Beast, Charizard is your responsibility to deal with."
Baton!
Wow!
Electivire appears, looking at Charizard. It can sense Charizard's power, which is much stronger than Bulbasaur's.
"Charizard, spit fire!"
"One hundred thousand volts!"
The two issued the commands simultaneously.
292: Gary vs. Ash (6)
The antennae on the head of the electric monster flickered with electricity, and golden arcs of electricity flashed out, converging into a thunder dragon that rushed forward.
The fire-breathing dragon's throat surged, and a burst of heat spread out, unleashing a crimson flame. Wherever the flame passed, the nearby rocks glowed slightly red, demonstrating the extremely high temperature of the flame.
Boom! !
The flames and the 100,000 volts collided. The 100,000 volts managed to suppress the flames, but only pushed them back a little before they exploded.
Seeing the result of the skill clash, Xiao Mao knew that Charizard was no match for Electivire when it came to special attacks; Electivire hadn't used its full power in that fire attack.
"Lightning Fist!" Shigeru commanded.
Electivire charged quickly toward Charizard.
"take off!"
Upon hearing the sound, Charizard flew into the sky. Seeing this, Electivire also stopped and unleashed a Thunderbolt towards the sky. Charizard accelerated to dodge and turned around to spew out an energy ball – Dragon Rage.
"Don't hold back, use 100,000 volts!"
Electivire crackled with electricity as it unleashed a full-power Thunderbolt. Dragon Rage was quickly pierced through, and a lightning bolt surged upwards, charging towards Charizard. Charizard immediately took to the air, dodging the Thunderbolt attack.
“Attack with 100,000 volts continuously,” Shigeru said calmly.
Although Charizard has the advantage in the sky, it is very tiring for this kind of Pokémon to move around in the air, especially since it needs to dodge attacks. It has to stop and turn quickly, which consumes even more energy. It can't last more than a few minutes before it has to land.
It's like running. You can jog for hours without any problem, but if you try to run fast with all your might, your speed will drop in less than three minutes.
Similarly, Pokémon also consume energy by constantly using skills, but Electivire is not afraid. Apart from legendary Pokémon, Electivire has the most stored energy among Electric-type Pokémon.
The electric current inside the Electrify Beast could power a city for a year, which shows just how terrifying the amount of electricity inside it is.
Electivire continuously unleashed electric shocks into the air, leaving Charizard struggling to cope and unable to retaliate. It could only occasionally breathe fire to deflect the electric attacks.
Gary wasn't worried at all. Such consumption was actually detrimental to Charizard. Ash didn't seem to understand the specifics of Electivire's situation.
"Why is there still so much electricity?" Ash wondered to himself. He had bred Pikachu before, and he knew that after Pikachu released more than ten electric shocks in a row during training, the subsequent electric shocks would weaken.
The Electivire in front of them unleashed over twenty Thunderbolts in a row, yet its power showed no sign of decreasing, while Charizard seemed to be getting tired.
"Ash, are you planning to keep dragging this out? If you keep going, will your Charizard have any stamina left to fight back?" Gary asked.
Ash gritted his teeth and immediately commanded, "Charizard, use Flame Whirl to counterattack!"
Upon hearing the sound, Charizard stopped dodging and turned around to spew out a ball of flame. The flame, like a large net, enveloped the Thunderbolt. The flame and lightning intertwined, and with a boom, a cloud of black mist burst out of the sky, burying Charizard's figure. Moreover, the smoke did not dissipate for a long time, but grew thicker and thicker, completely covering the area.
"What's going on? The smoke hasn't dissipated; instead, it's covering the entire venue!" the host exclaimed in surprise.
Gary looked at the lingering smoke, a slight smile playing on his lips. He naturally recognized that this was Ash's way of covering his attack.
"Charizard, use Mega Punch!" Ash commanded.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mao immediately commanded, "Plasma bath."
Within the smoke, Electivire's eyes were closed, and blue static electricity flickered constantly on its body. It could only perceive its surroundings by sound, as the smoke was exhaled by Charizard.
Fire-type Pokémon create smoke with a certain temperature, which is very dazzling. Pokémon enveloped in the smoke have difficulty opening their eyes.
Bah! !
With a muffled thud, Charizard launched an attack from the side, punching Electivire several meters away. However, Electivire was not damaged at all. The antennae on its head generated a large amount of electricity, its ability was activated, and the static electricity emitted directly blew away the smoke.
"What's going on? It seems like Electivire's ability has been triggered!!" the host exclaimed in surprise.
Because of the smoke, no one could see what was happening inside, and they couldn't hear the trainers' commands either. The host could only explain based on what he saw.
"Plasma bath...!" Ash was a little confused when he first saw this move.
"It's time for us to fight back, with Thunder Fist."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ash immediately realized what was happening and quickly commanded, "Flame Vortex."
Whoosh! !
Just as Charizard was gathering flames, Electivire rushed over. Despite its enormous size, Electivire's speed was unaffected. In the blink of an eye, it reached Charizard and knocked it back with a Lightning Punch.
"Roar!!"
As Charizard was being repelled, it forcefully spewed out a vortex of fire, which instantly surrounded Electivire, but was torn apart by a pair of lightning-covered hands.
"Discharge!" Xiao Mao commanded.
"Whoa!!"
Electivire unleashed its full power, sending out bolts of electricity in all directions. Charizard had no chance to dodge and was struck by a bolt of electricity, feeling excruciating pain and a tingling sensation throughout its body.
"It can discharge electricity like that..." Ash was also surprised. He couldn't understand how much electricity Electivire had in its body. Did it have an inexhaustible supply of electricity?
"Use the charger!" Xiao Mao commanded.
Golden arcs of electricity shot out from the Electabuzz's fur, charging it up and doubling the power of its upcoming electric-type moves.
Ash knew the effect of the Charge move, but Charizard couldn't fly for the time being. Although the discharge hadn't paralyzed Charizard, it definitely wouldn't be able to fly fast. If it flew into the air now, it would most likely be caught up by Electivire's Electric-type moves.
