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

Chapter 230 The Giant Claw Crab Makes its Debut, Instantly Killing with Extreme Claws!

This wasn't Dowu's first time participating in the League Conference; he had over a year and a half of travel experience. He originally came to the Quartz Conference hoping to get a top-three ranking, otherwise, with his current experience, he wouldn't even consider such a conference worth his attention.

However, a dark horse emerged from this very conference that he looked down upon!
Ash's appearance made all the contestants feel like they were walking on thin ice. If they encountered Ash, they could basically be sure that they would stop at their current ranking. Even the most confident contestants would never want to meet Ash.

Even if you do manage to beat Ash, you absolutely have to reveal your trump card, Pokémon type, and type completely. Then, when you encounter other equally matched opponents, you'll be at a complete disadvantage.

Therefore, in the early stages of this competition, everyone, whether powerful or weak, absolutely did not want to encounter Ash, as there would be absolutely no benefit in doing so.

And Duowu was the first unlucky one.

I'm going to beat Ash? Seriously? This is a game I play! I might as well just surrender!

That's what they say, but of course Duowu would never choose to surrender. Even if there's only a slim chance, he'd still give it a try!

That's Dragon Island! Any normal trainer would want to go there and catch some Pokémon!

After all, Dragon Island is not only full of dragon spirits (whether they are dragon-type or not is unknown), but their talent is also extremely high. Who wouldn't want to go there to capture a near-god?

Besides the pseudo-gods from Kanto, there are pseudo-gods from other regions on Dragon Island, but they are much rarer than those from Kanto. In short, we'll fight tooth and nail for Dragon Island!

After seeing his opponent, Ash looked around and spotted Dobu with a grim expression. He then gave Dobu a friendly smile as a greeting upon their first meeting.

When Dobu saw Ash's smile, he immediately took it as a provocation and became furious. "You bumped into me, and now you're trying to provoke me? Do you really think you're invincible?!"
So what if you beat the alternate king? So what if you tied with Queen Kona? Is that something to be proud of?
...That's certainly impressive, but that's no reason for this guy to provoke him!

He's a seasoned trainer, after all, and he has elite-level Pokémon. What if Ash loses?
If he hadn't met Ash, with his skill level, making it into the top 16 of the Indigo League wouldn't have been a problem.

But there was nothing he could do; the Quartz tournament's matchmaking system was just too excellent, pairing him with such an overpowered opponent right from the start!
Now, Duowu has no choice but to bite the bullet and fight this battle!

……

At 2 PM, the match began. The stands were almost full, and the battle between Ash and Takeru was the focus of everyone's attention!

As for the reason, it goes without saying that everyone is here for Ash. Everyone is looking forward to seeing what kind of Pokémon Ash will use in his first battle. Will it be Charizard, or that special Pikachu, or even Bulbasaur that easily defeated the Elite Four's main force?

Ash then released his first Pokémon, Kingler, under the watchful eyes of countless people!

The first field is a water field, so using Kingler is reasonable. This is Kingler's first appearance in a battle. Before Kingler, it had never fought a formal battle. Of course, it had battles, but they were all training with its own Pokémon.

Now that it has evolved into Kingler, it has finally made its official appearance in front of everyone. This is its first formal battle in its life, and Kingler is a little nervous. However, for Ash's sake, it quickly calmed down and focused its attention on its opponent.

Dowu took a deep breath and then released his Pokémon. A Pokémon with many heads and many large green leaves appeared. This was Exeggutor, a Pokémon that combined Psychic and Grass types.

"As expected, Ash chose a Water-type Pokémon on the Water field!"

"But Duowu did the opposite, guessing that his opponent would use a Water-type Pokémon, he brought out the Grass-type Exeggutor, which was super effective against it!"

"It's clear that Duwu has prepared a lot for this battle! I wonder how Ash will deal with the Grass-type Exeggutor?"

In water-based environments, Water-type Pokémon are typically used because many Pokémon are not suited for movement due to their poor mobility when there are only a few floating platforms on the water.

Dowu specifically targeted this point and brought out the Grass-type and Psychic-type Exeggutor!
Regardless of their strength, the experience of traveling abroad over the past year has not been wasted!

The host on stage was quite skilled and immediately guessed why Duowu had brought the Coconut Tree.

Although Exeggutor is not a Water-type Pokémon and has difficulty moving around in this watery terrain, it also has Psychic-type moves. If used properly, this terrain can become Exeggutor's weapon!
"Exeggutor...a Grass-type Pokémon? Looks like they guessed we'd use a Water-type. But Kingler, type advantages and disadvantages are just a small obstacle for us, right?"

"Cook Cook~" The giant crab waved its two large pincers, displaying full confidence.

After the initial nervousness, the Kingler Crab has calmed down. No matter what kind of opponent it faces, it just needs to perform well and show its own style.

This time, his opponent turned out to be much weaker than he had imagined...

Although the battle hasn't started yet, and he doesn't have the ability to see through the opponent's power level like Ash, the pressure he feels from the opponent is far less than that from Charizard and Pikachu...

Kingler usually trains against Blastoise, Venusaur, Charizard, and Pikachu, among other main Pokémon. Although it gets beaten to a pulp every time, its strength has increased remarkably!
Therefore, he had no complaints.

This time, the opponent's momentum is not even comparable to a single hair of Ash's main Pokémon!

Ash's Pokémon not only surpassed the opponent's Exeggutor in level, but also completely outclassed it in all stats.

The aura they exude is on a completely different level.

Faced with such an opponent, even the giant crab, which hadn't won many battles, felt a surge of confidence from the bottom of its heart—this one will be won!

"Hmph! I knew you'd use Water-type Pokémon on Water Terrace, so I specially prepared Grass-type Pokémon to deal with you! That's reverse thinking!"

"Besides, your Kingler shouldn't be your main Pokémon, right? Its aura is nowhere near the level of the Pokémon you sent out before. As expected, you chose to train your troops for the first battle, so it's not impossible for me to defeat you!"

After a series of analyses, Doo seemed to have even guessed the color of Ash's underwear, but only Ash knew how accurate his guesses were.

"Exeggutor, Leaf Blade!" With a roar from Duowu, Exeggutor swung its head, and several sharp green blades shot out!

The high-speed rotating sharp blades seemed to slice through the air!
Ash was feeling dizzy from listening to the other person's analysis, but the shout of Razor Leaf woke him up. He then instinctively shouted, "King Crab, Crab Hammer!"

"Cook!!"

The giant crab's claws were covered in a layer of water, and then it suddenly swung out!

A series of shrill screams echoed through the air!
The giant crab fist, covered in water, slammed into the flying leaf blades and shattered them all!

The green leaves fell down listlessly, like withered leaves in autumn.

This time, Ash didn't use Aura Power, but relied entirely on Kingler's own strength, because the opponent wasn't a strong one. Although Exeggutor had a type advantage over Kingler, its level was only the same as Kingler's, Elite Beginner.

Ash's Pokémon have all received the most meticulous training. Even the earlier levels were only improved after their stats were trained to the limit. Over time, each of Ash's Pokémon has the power to fight beyond its level, even without the power of Aura.

"Elite beginner level... that's the same level as my Exeggutor, but the Exeggutor has an attribute advantage. If we can command it properly, we can win this battle. There's hope!"

With the Kingler's attack, Dowu also discerned the Kingler's level: Elite Beginner.

While this level was somewhat troublesome for Doo, it wasn't insurmountable; at least it offered much more hope than facing a Pokémon of Charizard's caliber.

However, the fact that the opponent used a water-type move to forcibly break through a grass-type move made Duowu feel a little strange. Normally, when the two sides are of similar level, a grass-type move should not be able to completely suppress a water-type move, even if it is not completely suppressed. It should not be so easy for the opponent to break through it.

Perhaps there's something about this giant crab that he doesn't know? Never mind, let's win this one first!
"Exeggutor, Magic Leaves!"

With a flick of its head, the Exeggutor sent several leaves, glowing with an eerie light, flying towards the Giant Claw Crab like sharp blades.

Magic Leaf is a tracking skill similar to Wave Missile. Once used, the skill locks onto the target, making it virtually impossible to dodge.

"Giant Crab, dive into the water!" If you can't dodge, then just make sure the opponent is exhausted.

Upon hearing this, the Kingler Crab jumped directly into the water. Magic Leaf followed the Kingler Crab into the water, but the water in the pool greatly mitigated the impact of the magic liquid. In the water, the Kingler Crab swung its large pincers and instantly shattered Magic Leaf.

Water-type terrain provides a significant boost to Water-type Pokémon. Unless the battle is so powerful that it can cut through the water flow, Water-type terrain can mitigate most moves, allowing them to be countered by the Pokémon directly in the water.

However, Dowu had already considered this point. He took out Exeggutor not only because of type advantage, but also because of Exeggutor's Psychic type.

"Hmph... Trying to take advantage of the terrain? Don't even think about it! Exeggutor, use Psychic!"

Dowu let out a breath, then commanded Exeggutor to use its psychic powers, turning the water in the entire water arena into a giant whirlpool!

The giant king crab appeared directly in the vortex, but instead of drifting with the current, it froze in the vortex with immense power, and the terrifying vortex had no effect on it at all.

"Giant Claw Crab, Extreme Claw Drop." (One-hit kill, guillotine.)
Compared to the water flow created by Blastoise, this level of water flow is no different from a shower for Kingler, so even in a seemingly fierce whirlpool, Kingler can easily stand on it.

Now, the opponent has used his superpowers to control the water flow. He originally intended to control the Kingler Crab as well, but now, he has used his superpower vortex, but he has failed to control the Kingler Crab. This is a fatal thing for Exeggutor itself!

It would be extremely difficult for a low-level elite Pokémon to control such a large amount of water. If it fails to achieve its goal, it will be a fatal backswing, making it a sitting target that can be hit by any move the opponent uses.

So Ash directly chose a move that would deliver a fatal blow—Ultra-Fast Claw!

Extreme Drop Claw is a one-hit kill move, but its hit rate is extremely low, mainly due to its sluggish movements and slow energy accumulation speed...

However, as long as it hits the opponent, it can directly ignore the opponent's defense and deal massive damage. Unless the level difference between the two sides is too large, such as a beginner Heavenly King versus a beginner Champion, or a beginner Elite versus a beginner Heavenly King, it can basically kill instantly.

However, if the level difference is too large, even if the move can ignore the defense, it cannot kill the opponent in one hit. Otherwise, when facing a legendary beast, you only need to let some Pokémon hold it back in front, and then send out a few Pokémon to unleash a one-hit kill move. Wouldn't that make it easy to kill and capture the legendary beast?

There are no such outrageous rules in this world.

However, if the levels are the same, a one-hit kill is truly a one-hit kill. In a one-on-one fight, there are very few opportunities to create such an environment to use a one-hit kill, but now this environment has appeared.

Even if the immobile Exeggutor withdrew its superpowers, it wouldn't have time to dodge.

After gathering its strength at the bottom of the whirlpool, the giant crab suddenly exerted force with its legs and sprang out of the whirlpool. In less than two seconds, it leaped in front of the Exeggutor and one of its huge pincers got stuck on the Exeggutor's neck.

Under the horrified gaze of the Exeggutor, the Giant Crab's energy suddenly erupted, and with a single crack, a crisp sound rang out from the Exeggutor.

"Crack!"

The next instant, Exeggutor closed its eyes and collapsed to the ground, losing its ability to fight.

The vortex field returned to normal after losing the power to stir it up. Kingler stood quietly beside Exeggutor, not saying a word, pretending to be an expert.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Before the surrounding spectators could even react, the battle was suddenly over.
