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

Chapter 134 Flashing Lightning, a move with unlimited power!
Upon receiving the command, Pikachu on the field transformed into a bolt of lightning once more, slamming into Arbok.

But Arbok, already on guard, took the hit head-on, its body flashing with an uncertain light.

Successfully charged up.

However, just as Ash thought, the special effect of Electric Speed ​​Boost hitting vital points allows Pikachu to completely ignore the opponent's defense.

However, the effect of hitting a vital point is difficult to discern unless one is aware of the situation.

Only through extensive experience as a trainer, calculating damage, and noticing that something is amiss with the damage their Pokémon is taking, will they belatedly realize the problem.

Ash wouldn't be so kind as to tell Kikyo about the special effect of Electric Speed ​​Boost on Pikachu. Since Kikyo insists on increasing its defense to engage in a war of attrition, Ash can just keep using Electric Speed ​​Boost indefinitely!

"Arbok, swallow." Aju's next command startled Ash, whose expression then instantly changed.

Swallowing it will remove the defensive boost from the charged attack, and instead restore nearly a quarter of your stamina.

"Pikachu, stop him! Electric Speed ​​Boost!!"

The best way to prevent the opponent from using their ability to recover HP is to interrupt it. Ash had Pikachu use Electric Speed ​​Boost to attack again.

If a skill is useful, you can use it a lot.

Every time Pikachu uses its Electric Charge to hit Arbok, it immediately uses the recoil to create distance between itself and Arbok.

After all, he's a fragile little guy. If he were to be accidentally grazed or touched by Arbok, he would be seriously injured and might even lose his ability to fight.

Taking on challenges beyond your level is like walking a tightrope; one wrong step and you're doomed.

Therefore, both Pikachu and Ash's idea was to create distance immediately after attacking Arbok, so that the probability of making a mistake would be reduced.

But their caution also gave Arbok time to recover.

Pikachu immediately used Electrify to speed up after receiving Ash's command, but Arbok was already glowing with a white light indicating recovery.

As Pikachu, shimmering with golden light, appeared in front of Arbok, it slammed into it.

If it weren't for that moment when I recovered my strength, this sudden acceleration would probably have decided the outcome.

But after recovering, Arbok was able to withstand attacks again. Moreover, this time Arbok had already anticipated that Pikachu would use Electric Speed ​​to launch an attack.

He was also prepared to withstand this attack and then counterattack!
"Arbok, Venomtail."

Arbok instantly flicked its tail, which glowed with a ghostly purple light.

After Pikachu used its electric speed boost to hit its opponent, it used the recoil to bounce away as usual, but in mid-air, Arbok's poison tail had already caught up!

Arbok had failed to retaliate against Pikachu's Electric Speed-Up multiple times before, partly because the trainer, A-Ju, was repeatedly amazed by Pikachu.

On the other hand, the force Arbok experienced after being hit by the electric acceleration was simply too strong.

Each time, his body was paralyzed and stiffened by the opponent's blows, leaving him unable to retaliate.
However, after being attacked multiple times and having been prepared, Arbok is now able to defend and counterattack!
This time, Pikachu won't escape!

'100,000 volts!'

The poison tail attack is in Pikachu's inevitable retreat path. It's too late to use Flutter Fall now, so the only option is to forcefully use Thunderbolt to block it.

At that moment, Ash didn't even have time to speak. Instead, he used Aura to transmit his command to Pikachu.

Pikachu in mid-air suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden lightning, colliding with Poison Tail.

"boom!!"

A deafening sound exploded on the field, and a terrifying shockwave, visible to the naked eye, spread outwards, with black smoke billowing into the sky.

The next second, a golden figure shot out from the smoke, flipped several times in mid-air, and landed steadily on the ground.

At the last second, Thunderbolt blocked Poison Tail, but this made Pikachu's already poor stamina even worse.

Even though Arbok's attacks didn't hit Pikachu once, Pikachu was already panting heavily.

Ash sighed inwardly. It was really difficult to fight a higher-level opponent. Pikachu's attacks hit the opponent so many times, and two of them even hit the opponent while the electric field was active.

Arbok, however, remains strong, with its stamina only slightly lower than Pikachu's.

This stark contrast is the difference brought about by social class.

"Your reaction time is really fast! If it weren't for your special ability that gives you such quick reflexes, Pikachu would have been knocked down by now," A-Ju couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Trainers with special abilities are indeed enviable.

Such a huge level difference was completely bridged by the trainer's ability. If Ash's Pokémon were of the same level as his, the battle would probably have ended long ago.

"Without the power of aura, I wouldn't even be qualified to stand before you, Mr. Akira. Let's settle this with a single move," Ash said in a low voice.

It's not that the next move will decide the outcome, it's that the next move will definitely decide the outcome!

If this move fails to defeat Arbok, then Pikachu will be the one to lose, as it no longer has the strength to fight Arbok.

If Arbok uses the same charged-up swallowing move to delay Pikachu again, Pikachu will have no choice but to collapse in frustration due to lack of stamina.

Therefore, it is necessary to use the most powerful move to defeat the opponent in one go.

"A decisive battle? It seems your Pikachu can't hold on much longer." Aju said, her vigilance already at its peak.

Pikachu will likely concentrate all its power on this move. If it blocks it, it wins; if it doesn't, there's nothing more to say.

Theoretically, all he needs to do now is defend. No matter what moves his opponent uses, as long as he holds his ground, he'll win. But he's a king!

Even if he's just a backup, he's still a superstar!

Facing a rookie trainer who has only been in the industry for two months, and who even used a mid-level Elite Four Pokémon, he still has to rely on defense to win. Even if he wins, he will have completely lost face!
It's being broadcast live across the entire league right now, so no matter what, he can't possibly adopt a defensive stance.

Since the opponent is saving all their power for the next move, then he can do the same.

He simply couldn't believe that Arbok could lose to Pikachu in a head-on attack!
"Pikachu, Flash!!" Ash waved his hand, giving the order for Pikachu to use its last move.

"Flashing Lightning?" A-Ju was taken aback when she heard the name of the move.

After Electric Speed-Up and that move called Float Fall, here comes another four-character move name, which he has never heard of before... Could it be that Ash created all of these moves himself?

The first two moves can boost Pikachu's speed to its limit, and their power seems extraordinary. Even after his Arbok increased its defense, it was still hit hard, as if the opponent ignored Arbok's increased defense.

The next move allows Pikachu to float briefly in the air and change direction mid-air, essentially giving it the ability to fly.

So what is the purpose of this move?
Arbok was filled with a myriad of thoughts, but less than a second later, he directly commanded, "Arbok, use Garbage Shot!"

No matter what kind of move the opponent uses, just use your most powerful move to meet it head-on!

Even if it's a speed-boosting skill like Electric Acceleration, if the opponent dares to run into it, then Aju is 100% confident that this trash shot will hit the opponent.

Do you really think that being fast and having quick reflexes means you can do whatever you want?

As for a clash of standard moves, then his Arbok has even less to fear. A mid-level Elite Four member against a beginner-level Elite Four member—do I need to avoid his attacks? You're kidding!

Pikachu erupted with dazzling golden lightning, the bolts shooting straight into the sky. The area above was covered by the defensive barrier, but under Pikachu's lightning burst, the barrier was as fragile as paper and shattered instantly!
Lightning blasted into the sky, and in the next instant, the sky was instantly filled with dark clouds, through which golden flashes of electricity could be faintly seen.

Ah Ju narrowed her eyes. This move seemed similar to the ultimate move of the electric type, Thunderstrike. It appeared to use her own lightning to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to strike with lightning.

No wonder they said they would use this move to decide the outcome; it seems to be quite powerful. But so what?
Arbok opened its gaping maw, the purple light within so intense it had almost turned black!
"Go, Arbok, finish him off!" Arbok commanded coldly, and at that moment, Arbok unleashed its accumulated poison power to the limit!

A black, toxic force, resembling sludge and garbage, suddenly erupted, its target Pikachu on the ground.

"Pikachu!!" Pikachu leaped into the air, and with his shout, a golden bolt of lightning struck down from the sky!

Thunder's target isn't Arbok, it's Pikachu!
"Crack!" Golden lightning struck Pikachu, filling its body with dense electric power. Ash clenched his fists at that moment, his gaze becoming incredibly sharp. His heart and Pikachu's heart were completely aligned at that instant.

We must win! We absolutely must win!
The desire to win reached its peak at this moment, and the power of the flashing lightning also erupted to the extreme in Pikachu!
Golden lightning mixed with a hint of black burst forth from Pikachu's body!

The thunderbolts, as thick as buckets, collided with the garbage cans in mid-air!
"Boom!!"

The moment their moves collided, an unparalleled and terrifying power erupted from the center of the arena, instantly covering the surrounding protective barrier with countless cracks!

A-Ju stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

This barrier, which could withstand even attacks from the top-tier gym leaders, was now riddled with cracks by the aftershocks of the first collision!
Keep in mind that the shockwaves from a clash of moves don't just occur once; if there were another collision...

"Boom!"

"Crack!!"

The shockwave spread out again and struck the surrounding barrier, which shattered with a crisp sound in full view of everyone!

The staff members watching from the sidelines, Aya, Xiaoxia, and Xiaogang, were stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran away without hesitation.

Without any barriers to prevent it, this dojo would probably be demolished!
"boom!"

The shockwave spread for the third time, but it did not hit the dojo buildings or Xiaoxia and the others. Instead, it was blocked by a blue barrier.

A-Ju was taken aback and quickly looked towards where Xiao-Zhi was. She found that Xiao-Zhi's eyes were fixed on the center of the collision, completely unaware of the surrounding scene.

'Wasn't it Ash who did it? Then who was it?'

On the other side, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang, who had run halfway, turned around and found a brand new barrier had appeared. Knowing Xiaozhi's strength, the two knew that Xiaozhi must have made a move.

However, Ash seems to be very focused on dealing with the situation on the battlefield. How could he possibly be distracted by creating a barrier to protect the people around him?

At this moment, the clash on the field intensified! The black and gold lightning and the dark garbage shooting were locked in a stalemate, with both sides exchanging blows. Whoever lost first would be the one to give in.

'Don't lose to Pikachu! Trust in our bond. The power of Lightning Bolt depends on our mutual affection, so theoretically, its power can be limitless because our bond has no upper limit. Suppress him!!'

"Pikachu... Pikachu!!!"

Ash's shout echoed in Pikachu's mind. Pikachu, who had already reached its limit, suddenly focused its expression, then shouted loudly, and a new power burst forth from its body!

The black and gold lightning shattered the dark energy that was fighting against it with unstoppable force. The energy pillar shattered inch by inch, and finally, under Arbok's terrified snake eyes, the lightning completely covered Arbok!
Lightning shot into the sky from the direction of the Arbok, completely piercing the heavens!
A dozen seconds later, the lightning that erupted on the field slowly dissipated, and Pikachu fell from the air to the ground, looking very weak.

On the other side, Arbok's entire body had turned black, looking like a charcoal ball, and it looked more than ten times worse off than Pikachu!
The entire audience, including countless people watching the live stream, stared blankly.

They won again?

A novice trainer has defeated another Pokémon that was a potential Elite Four member? And it was even a main Pokémon!

Is this really not an act or a sign of leniency?

However, no one can act to this extent. Even if it is acting, it is still real. The final collision was absolutely genuine. Both sides had unleashed power far beyond their limits, just to win this battle.

Pikachu was ultimately superior. Although he was too weak to move, compared to the charred mess on the other side, Pikachu was in much better shape.

Most importantly, Pikachu is not unconscious and therefore does not lose its ability to fight, so this second victory belongs to Pikachu.
