Pokémon: Simultaneous time travel, this Ash is too versatile!

Chapter 109 Kirlia vs. Vileplume, a bug-like Psychic-type Pokémon.

Misty rolled her eyes at Ash's gaze.

"This item is generally only used in battles at the professional level or above, because even in a large arena, the impact on the surrounding environment can still affect the trainer who is giving commands."

"But our Cerulean Gym's strongest level right now is only Elite. Do you think we need to open this?" Misty's question made Ash's face show an embarrassed expression.

That makes some sense. What would be the point of using this barrier in elite-level battles?
Xiao Gang replied, "Our gym has this, but you were just a rookie trainer back then, and the Pokémon I used were only at the advanced stage. There was no need to use this item, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi silently turned his head back. It turned out that it wasn't that others didn't have it, but that he was too weak back then.

"Although this barrier is usually only used in professional-level battles, the Celadon Gym is a little different. In addition to being the gym leader of the Celadon Gym, I am also the manager of a perfume shop. All the plants and trees around me are raw materials for making perfume, so I have to activate this machine in slightly more intense battles."

Rika also explained why she had to use this machine even though it was only an elite-level battle.

His dojo is different from ordinary dojos. It has many rare flowers and plants that need to be protected. If the battle is too intense, the surrounding flowers and plants may be damaged.

Therefore, even in elite-level battles, she still needs to turn this machine on.

"Can we begin, Gym Leader Rika?" Ash asked eagerly.

This thing is quite similar to his waveguide barrier. I didn't expect the Alliance to be able to build such a machine. I just wonder how it will perform in actual combat.

"Anytime is fine... Just call me Rika, adding 'Master' sounds weird."

"it is good."

"Then I'll go first with my Pokémon~" Rika walked to her seat, turned around, her kimono fluttering in the wind, and a Poké Ball silently appeared in Rika's fair palm.

"The rules of the competition are three against three. Gym leaders are not allowed to change their Pokémon. The first team whose three Pokémon are unable to battle loses."

The girl who greeted Ash and his friends also stood on the referee's stand and read out the gym rules.

As soon as she finished speaking, Rika threw the Poké Ball in her hand.

"Go, you tigress!"

An elf with a huge red flower on its head and a blue body appeared on the field.

Vileplume, the final evolution of Oddish. When Ash wanted to catch Oddish, his goal was to evolve it into Vileplume. According to the experts in the group, this Pokémon is also a very annoying Pokémon if played well.

"Kirlian the Queen of Flowers... I choose you, Kirlia!"

This Vileplume is probably not Rika's main force. Its strength is around the mid-elite level, but it is still higher level than all of Ash's Pokémon except for Pikachu. When facing a Pokémon with a level advantage, Ash's first choice is naturally a Pokémon that is super effective against it. Therefore, Ash chose to send Kirlia, who is at its advanced peak, to the field!
If Charizard were to confront such a vile creature as the Queen of the Seas, it would likely be extremely difficult.

After all, the opponent is already a higher level than Charmeleon, and with its endless stream of annoying skills, Charmeleon might not be able to overcome the level difference.

But it's a different story if you send out the Psychic-type Kirlia. When it comes to being dirty, Psychic-types have never been afraid of anyone!
Furthermore, although Psychic-type doesn't counter Grass-type, it does counter Vileplume's Poison type!

As Ash threw out a Poké Ball, a flash of light appeared, and Kirlia, with blue hair and resembling a human girl, appeared on the field.

“Kirlia…a shiny one?” Erika was familiar with Kirlia, but this was the first time she had ever seen a shiny Kirlia.

This Pokémon is already rare, and with the addition of a shiny Pokémon, its rarity is practically off the charts!

Rika hadn't forgotten what Ash had said at the beginning: that he had encountered and captured a Champion-level Gastly on the road.

And then there's this shimmering Kirlia... Goodness, did you max out your luck stat before you left home?
How could one encounter such a rare Pokémon in just two months? No, it should be said that it's been less than two months!
"What's wrong, Rika? Aren't you going to attack? Then I'll have to attack first! Kirlian, use Psychic!"

Ash saw that Rika was still standing there in a daze, so he didn't stand on ceremony with her and sent Kirlia to attack first.

"Chiru!" Chirulian raised her little hand, her eyes flashing with blue light, and a strange energy directly acted on the Queen of the Sea.

The superpower's energy eroded the body of the Queen of the Flower and bound it tightly.

“Take root!”

"Wow~~"

Several vine-like things emerged from the body of the Queen of the Night flower and then stuck directly into the ground!

Rooting allows Kirlia to recover some stamina every now and then, and under the effect of Rooting, Kirlia can no longer lift Vileplume with her psychic powers.

The roots on the ground held the Queen of the Night firmly in place, and even with the power of thought, it was still not enough to pull it up.

The primary effect of telekinesis is control, and the secondary effect is damage. Even with its restraining effect, the damage is still negligible. Kung Fu Flower recovered quickly by taking root.

"Very good, Queen of the Flower, use Leaf Blade!"

Wow!

With a flick of its enormous flower, the Queen of the Night Flower unleashed several sharp leaves that spun and flew out at incredible speed!

A series of whooshing sounds came from the air, as if the leaves were tearing the air apart at that moment.

"Strong mental thoughts!"

"Chirul!" This time, Chirullian stretched out both hands, and at the same time, the psychic control on the Vileplume was released, and instead, all the power was controlled on the leaf that flew in halfway.

"Swing it back!"

The frozen blade was flung back by the powerful telekinetic force. Although it wasn't as cutting as when it flew over, its power was still considerable.

"Trying to use our skills against us? That's a bit too naive!"

Seeing Ash's response, Rika gave a sarcastic smile, then waved her hand and commanded, "Ignore it, use Sunny Day!"

Sunny day?
Ash was stunned for a moment after hearing the command, then he remembered the characteristics of Vileplume that he had just observed, and his expression changed instantly.

"Stop her!" Upon hearing this, Kirlia's blue eyes shone even brighter, and her Leaf Blade flew back to the Vileplume at an even faster speed, striking it!

However, the Grass-type Razor Leaf doesn't do much damage to Vileplume, in fact, it's almost negligible. This is why Rika told Vileplume to ignore Razor Leaf. But the instant Razor Leaf hits Vileplume, Kirlia vanishes from its spot and reappears behind it in a flash.

At this moment, a burst of intense flames emerged from the stamen of the Queen of the Night flower, ready to be launched.

Kirlia clenched her little fist, and scorching flames burned fiercely on it!
Fire fist!
"boom!!"

A cloud of smoke exploded where the Queen of the Night flower was, and the pitch-black fog obscured everything.

Lijia's expression was not very good. She had prepared for the Variant Flower to take the Leaf Blade, but she had not prepared for the Variant Flower to take the Flame Fist!

What's going on with Kirlia? How did she manage to use Instant Transmission immediately after using Psychic, and simultaneously unleash Fire Fist?

The transitions between these skills are just too smooth and seamless.

Amidst the thick smoke, a beam of light rose, eventually reaching the very top of the dojo and transforming into the blazing sun hanging overhead!
The sunny weather was eventually used.

The smoke slowly dissipated, revealing the figure of the Queen of the Night flower inside.

The petals of the Vileplume, which was targeted by the Flame Punch, were slightly charred. However, Fire-type moves were not Kirlia's signature moves, and Root was still restoring Vileplume's stamina. Therefore, Vileplume could withstand this attack.

"Queen of Flowers, keep your distance!"

Close combat is not the forte of the Flower Queen, so as soon as the smoke cleared, Rika immediately had the Flower Queen create distance between herself and Kirlia.

Melee combat shouldn't be Kirlia's forte, but that Flame Punch move just now startled Rika. She was even afraid that Kirlia was a physical attacker, although a physical attacker Kirlia was a bit abstract...

After receiving Lijia's command, the tyrant flower lightly touched the ground with her toes and nimbly widened the distance between them. Judging from her speed, the tyrant flower seemed to be very fast, which was somewhat inconsistent with her huge size.

The roots that connected her body to the ground were also severed. After she landed, several new roots sprouted from her body and took root in the ground, restoring her strength.

"Since you're so eager to stop my Sunny Day, it seems you must have guessed the characteristics of my Queen of the Night Flower."

After seeing that the Vileplume had created some distance, Rika finally had the energy to chat with Ash.

"Chlorophyll, in a sunny weather, its speed will double." Ash directly revealed the truth behind Vileplume's incredible speed.

The Chlorophyll ability allows Pokémon with this ability to double their Speed ​​on sunny days!

That's why the Queen of the Night flower was able to create distance so quickly just now.

"That's right, but the Great Sunny Day has already been used, so even if you guessed it, it's too late."

With an elegant smile on her face, Lijia continued to command the Flower Queen: "Flower Queen, use Grass Field."

"Kirlia, Light Screen, Reflect!"

Ash knew he couldn't stop his opponent from setting up a terrain barrier, so he set up a wall instead!
The Grassy Terrain effect restores one HP to Pokémon on the ground at regular intervals and increases Grass-type damage by 30%. This is definitely the best stage for Rika, since all her Pokémon are Grass-type.

Ash setting up two walls can also affect the Pokémon that will appear next.

With Kirlia's unique spiritual power, the two walls can be opened simultaneously.

Wow!

"Chiru!!"

With one foot stomping on the ground, the entire arena shimmered with a green glow, while with a wave of her small hand, two transparent walls appeared in front of Kirlia, only to disappear a second later.

In fact, walls have already surrounded Kirlia. Any attack aimed at Kirlia will be blocked by the two walls, reducing the damage by half.

"To be able to open two walls at the same time, plus that simultaneous teleportation and fire punch just now, it seems your Kirlia has the ability to multitask. Now that both sides have made their preparations, let's see who comes out on top."

"Yes, let's have a showdown, Rika!"

Although not as well-prepared as her opponent, this is the best Kirlia can do in terms of board presence.

"Valiant Flower, Solar Beam!" With a wave of her hand, Rika made Valiant Flower use its ultimate Grass-type move, Solar Beam!
Normally, Solar Flare requires one round of charging before it can be used, but on a sunny day, Solar Flare can be used instantly!

Countless rays of light gathered on the giant petal atop the Vileplume's head. Ash didn't make a move, but instead focused intently on the other's actions.

The next instant, the sunlight erupted in flames, and a golden beam of destructive energy shot out, heading straight for Kirlia.

Its speed was so fast that Kirlia had no way to dodge!
"Hold on!"

As Ash finished speaking, a green barrier instantly appeared in front of Kirlia, blocking the destructive beam that fell like a meteor.

"boom!"

A deafening roar erupted, but the massive beam of light was unable to cross the green barrier even a step.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can hold out, Queen of Pain, ramp up your attacks!" Rika snorted and chose to break Kirlia's defense head-on!
With an existing level difference between the two sides, coupled with the boost from Grassy Terrain and the powerful Grass-type move Solar Beam, Kirlia's Protect couldn't hold out for long.

Sure enough, a dozen seconds later, cracks began to appear in the barrier in front of Kirlia, and it looked like it was about to break!

"Now's the time, Kirlia, switch sides!"

"Kirlian!" Kirlian looked somewhat troubled, but her psychic powers surged forth. The next moment, their positions were reversed, and the positions of Vileplume and Kirlian were intertwined!
In Lijia's horrified gaze, the blazing sunlight shattered the barrier and struck the Queen of the Flower head-on!
"Is this okay?!"

Kirlia is a monster for having the ability to use Switcheroo even after using Protect!
And these psychic-type skills are really annoying. Whether they're strong or not is another matter, but they're incredibly dirty!

Whether it's teleportation, switching locations, or double walls, they're all incredibly disgusting!
"Don't underestimate my Kirlia! Use Psychic!" Ash continued his offensive.

Even with the amplified Grass-type ultimate move, the damage to Vileplume is still low, since it has four times the resistance to Grass-type moves. However, Solar Beam can distract Vileplume and even put it into a brief stun, which already meets Ash's expectations.

Kirlia flashed a blue light, and her powerful psychic ability instantly immobilized Vileplume. This time, the binding force was even stronger than her telekinesis!
"Very good, use hypnosis!"

The final, decisive skill: hypnosis!
Once the opponent is hit, the outcome of the match is already decided!
