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

Chapter 164 Static electricity triggered with a one in a thousand probability! Pikachu that makes everyone who hits it feel frustrated.

This wasn't the first time Shigeru knew Ash's Pikachu was overpowered, but this was the first time he'd realized Ash's Pikachu could be this overpowered!
It can fly, and it can use STAB moves like Extreme Speed, but what's with it spraying water now?!

Tell me, what is that wave that appeared out of nowhere? It's activated, isn't it?
Xiao Mao looked at Xiao Xia and Xiao Gang beside him and found that although the two were slightly surprised, it was almost negligible, as if they had long been used to Pikachu's behavior.

Seeing this, Shigeru couldn't help but exclaim, "Hey! Aren't you all surprised? Pikachu used Surf! Surf! This kind of skill is completely beyond what Pikachu is supposed to learn!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxia looked at Xiaomao with surprise: "Does that mean it's normal for Pikachu to be able to fly?"

Xiaomao:......

"Since Pikachu can fly, why can't he use surf? It makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"

Since it can fly, spraying water is perfectly reasonable... What a load of rubbish! Xiao Shi couldn't accept this reasoning at all!
Is there any necessary connection between spraying water and being able to fly? Besides, being able to fly is quite strange!

Seeing Xiao Mao's devastated expression, Xiao Gang laughed and said, "We've been traveling with Ash all along, so we've known about Ash's special qualities for a long time. We're not as surprised as you are. Although Pikachu's behavior is indeed a bit illogical, that's Ash for you, the man who breaks the rules."

What you said makes so much sense that I'm speechless!

When it comes to spending time with Ash, besides his mother, who spends more time with him than his uncle Gary?
Ash did often do amazing things in the past, but those things were just minor and within the realm of normal understanding.

But ever since he started his journey, Ash seems like a completely different person. He does many things that are beyond his comprehension, such as giving a Pokémon a sudden surge in power, Mega Evolution, Pikachu using Surf, and even wearing a hat that makes its power skyrocket...

Is this something a human can understand?

Breaking the rules is fine, but this is unacceptable! This is breaking the rules and fighting completely against the laws of the Elf world.

To be honest, if all Pokémon in the world used this method, then the experience of Elite Four Champion trainers would be completely useless.

The reason why Elite Four and Champion trainers are so powerful is not only because of their terrifying adaptability, but also because of their rich experience. However, all of Ash's actions were completely outside their experience.

Even with the extensive experience of an Elite Four champion, he would never encounter an opponent like Ash.

Against Ash, it all comes down to how quick your adaptability and sharp your eyesight are.

……

On the field, as Arcanine was covered by Surf, Pikachu landed smoothly on the ground. The two Surfs cooled the entire field down considerably, and now it didn't feel hot at all, but rather a bit cool.

As the waves subsided, Arcanine, looking like a dead dog, reappeared before everyone. Two hits from Water-type moves were enough to overwhelm even a high-level Arcanine.

Blaine's confident smile, which she initially displayed when releasing Arcanine, vanished without a trace. Who would have thought that Pikachu could use Water-type moves, and such powerful ones at that!
He now understands that nothing is surprising when it happens to Pikachu, and he also understands the devastated state of mind that A-Ju had during the battle.

Even with Blaine having a lot of information about Satoshi, he still got beaten up like this. Who can he complain to?

"Arcanine, can you still battle?"

"Roar……"

Arcanine growled and slowly stood up, but judging from his expression, it was very difficult for him to stand. However, as long as he did not lose his ability to battle, anything was possible.

"Very good, use Sunny Day!" Using Sunny Day at this time shows that Blaine is preparing for the Pokémon to set up the stage.

After all, using Sunny Day would result in Pikachu elbowing him. Arcanine might be able to withstand it with his stamina, but by then, he probably wouldn't have much fighting power left.

However, with the combination of a sunny day and the volcanic crater terrain, the amplification of fire-type moves might approach 100%. Even if the Nine-Tails loses the boost from its Flash Fire ability, it can still unleash powerful fire-type moves.

Moreover, this weather skill can also boost Arcanine's power, killing two birds with one stone. Under a clear sky, if Pikachu takes a hit from Arcanine, he'll have to go back to his dream to see his grandma!

"Pikachu, Electric Speed ​​Boost!" Ash naturally didn't want Arcanine to use Sunny Day, so he chose to use his fastest move to stop the opponent from using it.

Pikachu touched the ground with its paws, a golden arc of electricity flashed across the field, and in the blink of an eye it arrived in front of Arcanine. Its small body contained enormous power, and it rammed into Arcanine!
Arcanine's massive body was knocked back more than ten meters, but it still roared, and a ray of light rose from its body.

Ash frowned slightly. He had actually managed to withstand the electric speed boost and use Sunny Day. Was it due to an information leak?

Blaine must have studied Pikachu and knew that while Pikachu's Electric Accelerator was fast, its power wasn't that great.

With Arcanine's stamina, taking one hit wouldn't be a problem.

And that's exactly right. This Arcanine is a real piece of work. Although Pikachu's attack power has been weakened by Intimidate, its Electric Speed ​​Boost can always hit a vital point. When a vital point is hit, the attack will ignore the opponent's increased stats and the user's decreased stats.

In other words, Arcanine essentially withstood the full power of the Electric Boost.

Just as Ash was thinking about how to deal with the bright sunshine, the light that had risen halfway suddenly dimmed, and Arcanine let out a mournful cry, its limbs slightly bent, and some golden electricity appeared around its body.

Both were stunned upon seeing this, but Ash was the first to realize that this was a state of paralysis!
Reduces the opponent's speed by half and has a chance to paralyze them, rendering them unable to move.

Both Surf and Pikachu's Static ability have a chance to paralyze the opponent, but Ash couldn't see any electric arcs on the opponent after using Surf twice in a row.

The sudden appearance of the electric arc is likely related to Pikachu's direct contact with the opponent using Electric Speed, triggering its Static ability!

Thank goodness! Since getting Pikachu, he has fought no fewer than a thousand battles!

The number of times static electricity could be triggered could be counted on one hand, which was far different from the characteristics of static electricity that he knew!

The probability of static electricity triggering is 30%! His Pikachu's trigger probability is probably less than 3%.

This is perhaps one of the prices that makes Pikachu so overpowered.

"Pikachu has been paralyzed! Now's your chance, use Surf!" Ash didn't miss the opportunity and immediately commanded Pikachu to attack!
Pikachu leaped into the air, and a surging wave formed beneath its feet once more, turning Blaine's face almost a liverish color. To trigger paralysis at a time like this, it's unbelievable!
"Arcanine, Flamethrower!" There's no way to dodge it. That Pikachu used a move called Surf that almost covered the entire field. Unless you can fly into the sky, how can you dodge it?
The best way is to prevent him from using it. If he does use it, then we'll just have to tough it out.

Arcanine opened its gaping maw, accumulating a dense amount of fire elemental power. Fortunately, this time it didn't trigger the paralysis status, and the Flame Burst was successfully unleashed from its mouth.

A flame shaped like a large character is violently bombarding the surging waves, and the water is evaporating fiercely at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a battle of moves with opposite attributes, Flame Burst actually comes out on top, as the opponent has the advantage in terms of terrain and level.

However, Ash didn't expect this move to defeat his opponent.

The surging waves were just a feint; the real attack was...

"Pikachu, Flash!!"

Riding on the waves, Pikachu leaped up again, its figure almost thirty meters away from the arena, its tiny body bursting with unparalleled black and gold lightning in the air!
Because it was already late, Blaine didn't notice that the sky was already covered with countless dark clouds, with lightning flashing within them. As lightning erupted from Pikachu's body, the lightning from the dark clouds also crashed down and struck Pikachu.

In an instant, the entire world was illuminated by the lightning emanating from Pikachu. At this moment, Pikachu was like a god of thunder!

"Take this, Blade!"

"Pikachu!!!"

With the shouts of the man and the rat, and Blaine's slightly shocked expression, the divine lightning of the heavens suddenly fell from the sky!
The lightning bolt was as thick as a bucket, its entire body enveloped in terrifying black-gold lightning, and the air itself sizzled as it struck.

The electric-type skill somehow produced the effect of a fire-type skill.

"boom!!"

Arcanine, still paralyzed after using Flame Burst, had no way to dodge the lightning strike. The surging lightning directly struck the entire area, spreading outwards.
The moment the lightning spread, the ground was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, like glass struck by a heavy hammer, and the violent shockwave destroyed everything around it!

The entire crater was suddenly cut off, and a blue shield appeared in front of Ash, Blaine, and Gary, preventing them from being blasted away by the shockwave or seriously injured.

Blaine's initially grim expression faltered upon seeing the blue shield in front of him, then his expression gradually returned to calm, replaced by curiosity.

This shield... must be Ash's doing, right? Is this what Ash's special power looks like in its materialized form?
It's somewhat like a superpower, but not quite. More than a superpower, it's a power originating from the very source of life.

As the shockwave dissipated, the blue protective shield in front of everyone also disappeared from their sight.

The Arcanine on the field was unrecognizable; its entire body was charred black, as if it were covered in a layer of black charcoal. At most, one could only barely identify it as an Arcanine from its appearance.

"Growlithe!!" Upon seeing Growlithe, Blaine instantly remembered that his dog had just been hit directly by that terrifying force!

In terms of power alone, that lightning bolt was almost comparable to a high-level ultimate move of a Champion. Arcanine, who was already in a precarious state, was hit head-on by that lightning, and his fighting power was definitely not going to be reduced. But what Blaine was worried about now was not Arcanine's fighting power, but whether he was still alive!

"Don't worry, Blaine, Arcanine has only lost its ability to battle, it's not in any danger. Pikachu and I were careful," Ash reassured Blaine.

Upon hearing this, Blaine breathed a sigh of relief, but his gaze toward Ash became strange.

Was that last move just a result of holding back? If he really unleashed his full power, how incredibly strong would that be!

"Come back, Arcanine." Blaine recalled Arcanine, letting out a sigh involuntarily. "You've had a tough time. It's not that you're not strong enough, it's just that the opponent was too monstrous!"

Who would have thought that a high-level Elite Four Arcanine would have such an outcome against a top-tier Pro Pikachu?

Being defeated by an opponent who was almost two levels higher, and it was a Pikachu at that! Nobody would believe it!

The main reason was that Surf was far beyond Blaine's expectations, and then Arcanine was paralyzed. Once it falls into an abnormal status, whether it's poison, sleep, or burns, its combat power will be reduced by more than half.

The confusion state can only be resolved by recalling the Poké Ball.

From the moment Arcanine was paralyzed, the scales of victory began to tip in Ash's favor.

"Come back, Pikachu." Ash called Pikachu back to his side, as the continuous attacks had almost pushed Pikachu to its physical limit.

Pikachu is still panting heavily on the field and looks very tired.

In fact, the best way to deal with a Pokémon like Ash's that has been artificially boosted is to stall for time.

As long as Ash's Pokémon doesn't hit him with an attack, he will naturally exhaust his stamina without even attacking Ash's Pokémon.

After all, the stamina consumption of launching an attack beyond one's level is simply too terrifying.

If Flashy Shot fails to take down Arcanine, then it's likely Pikachu's turn to be defeated.

Every time Ash appears to win a battle against a much stronger opponent, he's actually just licking the edge of a knife.

Upon receiving the command, Pikachu darted back from the field and jumped to Ash's feet.

"What an amazing guy. I've never seen a Pikachu use that level of lightning before."

"Hehe, my Pikachu is special."

"I can see that. How could Pikachu, which can surf and fly, not be special?" Blaine's lips twitched, and she said somewhat irritably.

Honestly, Pikachu is so annoying, whoever hits it gets frustrated, regardless of winning or losing!
