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

Chapter 231 Shattering the Waves! A flash of lightning as fast as divine speed!
The situation on the field was initially that Kingler had a slight advantage, but Exeggutor's psychic ability and Grass-type typing made it relatively easy to deal with the clumsy Kingler, not to mention that both sides were at almost the same level.

As a result, the Exeggutor died on the battlefield due to just one mistake.

While Extreme Claw is a one-hit kill move, it's incredibly difficult to land it on an opponent. However, Exeggutor created an opportunity for Kingler Crab's attack to hit it, essentially destroying itself.

But you can't blame the Exeggutor. Who would have thought that the Exeggutor, despite using all its strength to control the water flow and create a whirlpool, couldn't trap the Giant Crab inside, or even budge it an inch?

Although Water-type Pokémon are highly proficient in water, even a Water-type Pokémon could be caught off guard and drawn into a whirlpool of that level, unless this Krabby has undergone some special training.

Whatever the reason, Exeggutor has now been instantly killed. Dowu doesn't believe that Kingler is stronger than Exeggutor; it's just that his command error caused Exeggutor to be hit by the opponent's one-hit kill skill.

If he had been more careful, he would never have fallen into the other party's trap. But now that the die is cast, there's no use in regretting or reviewing the situation.

Dowu took a deep breath, retrieved the Exeggutor, and then took out the next Poké Ball.

"It was a truly unexpected result. Viewers, including myself, thought it would be a fierce battle, but it ended in a very unexpected way."

"As expected of a super rookie, Ash has not only achieved remarkable results in training his Pokémon, but his command skills are also quite superb. Duwu only made a small mistake, and Ash seized the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow!"

"Will Duowu's next Pokémon be able to help him turn the tide?"

The host's voice rang out at just the right moment. Although he wasn't a powerful trainer, his eyesight was unquestionable; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to serve as a host.

How can someone who can't even see the game footage clearly be a host?

A qualified host should be able to clearly see the footage of the match and provide detailed explanations so that even those who are not familiar with the game can easily understand the situation of the battle.

On the other side, Dobu had already thrown out his second Poké Ball. With a flash of light, a powerful Pokémon, resembling a seahorse yet also like a dragon, appeared on the water field.

Horsea's ultimate evolution – Kingdra!

This Pokémon is one of the main top-tier Pokémon in the team, possessing elite-level strength. While it's necessary to go against the grain and send out Grass-type Pokémon in the Water Arena, it's impossible to replace all the Pokémon in the team with Grass-types.

You can't possibly bet that all of the opponent's Pokémon are Water-type, right? That's definitely unrealistic!
Furthermore, Duowu doesn't have that many powerful Grass-type Pokémon. Being able to produce one elite beginner Grass-type Pokémon is already Duowu's limit.

Therefore, Duowu's second Pokémon was also changed to a Water-type Pokémon, Water Dragon - Kingdra!

Not only is it proficient in water, but it also has four times the resistance to water-type attacks, making it a countermeasure Pokémon against water-type attacks.

Compared to Exeggutor, although it no longer has the Grass-type advantage, its resistance is even higher. It can also utilize Water Terrain like Kingler, and its level is also higher than Exeggutor's. This match is a sure win!
After seeing the information about the opponent's Kingdra, Ash thought for a moment, then took out a Poké Ball and aimed it at Kingler: "Come back, Kingler."

Ash has recalled the Kingler, who just won a victory. It is at a disadvantage in terms of type and level. Without using Aura, it will probably have to rely on the accuracy of its Claw Drop to defeat the opponent.

That's a bit unnecessary. Since there are other Pokémon that can deal with Kingdra, there's no need to make Kingler work so hard.

"I choose you, Pikachu!"

Xiaoxia and the others in the audience: ? ? ?

Good grief, they're sending out Pikachu as their second Pokémon? That's ruthless! Are they completely leaving the opponent no chance of survival?

When Duowu saw the small, yellow-skinned mouse jump onto the floating board, his face darkened.

Pikachu is such a common Pokémon that it's practically impossible for anyone not to recognize it, let alone Ash's Pikachu!
Putting aside other Pokémon, Ash's signature Pokémon is undoubtedly his Pikachu.

It's not just because Pikachu is incredibly powerful, but also because Ash trained Pikachu to such an incredible level. There probably isn't another Pikachu in the world with such explosive power besides Ash.

Ash's other Pokémon are strong, but they are far from unique. There are even stronger Pokémon out there, such as Charizard and Venusaur. Even though Ash's Pokémon improve incredibly fast, they are still only Pokémon that haven't even reached the Elite Four.

But Pikachu is different. Not to mention that this Pokémon is a very common Pokémon in the game, no one other than Ash has been able to raise it to the level it is at so far.

It can be said that Ash's Pikachu is unique and a benchmark for Ash.

Furthermore, Ash's Pikachu always wears a hat before each battle, and that pose makes it look completely natural, unlike other Pikachu.

Countless people have tried to emulate Ash's training methods with Pikachu, but unfortunately, at best they can only train Pikachu to the advanced level, never even reaching the elite level. Compared to Ash, they are far behind.

When Dobu faced Ash's Pikachu, his face turned completely green.

Damn it, the first match was supposed to be for training, right? Why did you send out your main Pokémon as your second Pokémon? And it's not just any main Pokémon, it should be Ash's ace Pokémon!
What merit do I have to deserve you sending Pikachu to fight?

Although the Indigo League preliminary rounds are three-on-three, you can't change the Pokémon you're going to battle on the fly.

Because the three Pokémon to be used are registered before the match starts, instead of having to choose three out of six during the match based on the opponent's lineup.

Therefore, Ash had already chosen Pikachu to fight from the very beginning.

He did intend to use the first game as a training ground, but he didn't intend to use it entirely for training!
If he fails to send out his main Pokémon and ends up losing unexpectedly, he'll have nothing left to complain about.

Even if the second team's Pokémon uses Aura Fusion, it's impossible for them to battle against a Gym Leader, and they can't even get a chance against a top-tier professional Pokémon. Although the possibility of training a Gym Leader-level Pokémon in two years is extremely slim, he is the best example!
Even with cheat codes, he only spent half a year and now has one gym at the peak level and two gyms at the advanced level.

Even without any special abilities, if someone has good talent, training a gym-level Pokémon in two years shouldn't be a problem, right?

Therefore, in order to avoid being caught off guard, Ash prepared a main force, and it was his strongest main force!
Pikachu, who has been reincarnated once, is still the highest level one. Without considering Gengar, Pikachu is the strongest!

Even the fossil aeroda can't compare to Pikachu.

"Never mind, so what if it's Pikachu? The battle between Pokémon isn't decided by levels. I was fooled by your feint earlier, but I won't fall for it again this time. Now it's Kingdra's turn to have the field advantage!" "Kingdra, use Dragon Pulse!" Dowu gritted his teeth and shouted the command.

No matter who his opponent is, he can't possibly admit defeat. He's come this far, how could he possibly give up without even trying?!

At Dobu's command, Seadra suddenly spewed out a turquoise wave from its mouth, and Pikachu watched the dragon wave approach without dodging or avoiding it.

Just as it was about to hit Pikachu, Pikachu leaped up, its tail flashed with a metallic sheen, and then it slashed down fiercely.

"boom!!"

A huge aftershock spread out, and the water field was filled with rolling waves and rising tides!

However, this did not prevent the people in the high seats from seeing the scene of the battle. Everyone exclaimed in surprise because Pikachu's Iron Tail had actually split Dragon Pulse in two!

He himself was completely unaffected, his face showing obvious ease, which revealed just how vast the gap was between the two sides.

"Pikachu, Quick Attack!" After cutting through the opponent's Dragon Pulse, it was Ash's turn to counterattack, and Ash's command was just an ordinary Quick Attack.

"King Thorn Dragon, use..."

"boom!!"

Before Duo Wu could finish speaking, a golden figure appeared in front of the Thorn Dragon King on the water's surface and rammed into it fiercely!
A muffled thud echoed across the field, and then Kingdra was sent flying backward out of the water!

Immediately afterward, Pikachu reappeared above Kingdra in the blink of an eye, its tail lashing out—it didn't even use Iron Tail.

The ordinary tail lashed out at Kingdra, instantly twisting its already contorted expression of pain even more, causing its eyes to bulge out, and its body plummeted like a meteor!

"boom!!"

The violent force spread outwards and descended vertically, directly slamming the center of the water field into a vacuum!
Kingdra crashed into the pool floor like a cannonball, creating spiderweb-like cracks!

Pikachu's attack didn't send Kingdra splashing into the water; instead, it used its immense force to push the water back, causing Kingdra to crash directly onto the ground of the pool.

The entire arena fell silent except for the sound of the water bubbling. As the water in the arena slowly receded, the Seadra, which had been slammed to the floor, floated to the surface, its eyes darting around. One move, instant kill!!
This is Pikachu's power, this is the difference in power between the two!

The Flash of Lightning was just an ordinary Normal-type move, nothing special except for increasing attack speed. Its power was among the lowest of all moves.

But this one skill instantly killed the King Thorn Dragon and even created a vacuum in the entire pool.

The visual effects were truly stunning to the surrounding audience; scenes that were rarely seen on television were now being witnessed in the real world.

As the master of King Thorn Dragon, Dowu was now completely stunned, his face filled with disbelief.

It was as if the one who had fainted on the water was not his Kingdra, but himself.

This is ridiculous! Kingdra is so much stronger than Exeggutor, but its final result is even worse than Exeggutor's!

Exeggutor was at least killed in one hit, but Kingdra was killed instantly by Quick Attack!
The difference in power between the two moves is not small, yet Kingdra was still instantly defeated. This shows that the gap between Kingdra and Pikachu is enormous!

"Wow, is that Ash's Pikachu? This person is terrifying!"

"Thanks for the invitation. I was fortunate enough to see Ash's Pikachu at the Indigo League. This is definitely a different kind of Pokémon from the regular Pikachu!"

"Damn, a single flash of lightning can create a vacuum in the pool! Just how strong is this Pikachu? Could it really be a Champion-level Pokémon?"

"You know what, I always feel that this Pikachu is different from the one I saw on TV... This shouldn't be Ash's Pikachu's full strength."

"This isn't even his full strength? No way, even if Ash is freakish, he wouldn't be that freakish, would he?"

"That's hard to say, that's Ash Ketchum..."

"..."

The audience was buzzing with discussion. Most people had already predicted the outcome of this battle: one was an unknown player, and the other was a super rookie who had recently shone brightly in Kanto.

This is a newcomer who defeated even the Champion-level players. If he uses his full strength, no one who comes to the Indigo League will be able to mess with Ash.

To defeat Ash, you can only pray that Ash didn't bring out his main Pokémon, got overconfident, and then lose the match.

Aside from that... they really couldn't imagine Ash losing in any other way.

Unless Ash is a paper tiger, and his battles against Kikkoman and Lorelei were temporary power spikes using some special method, and he wasn't actually that strong—but the current result is that Ash really is that strong.

His Pikachu seems stronger than when he battled A-Ju!
……

In the special audience section, a woman with long blonde hair, wearing a black coat and black trousers, with her hair covering one eye, stared at Pikachu with great interest.

"Ash's Pikachu is much stronger than when he battled Kikyo."

Others might not notice, but as the Sinnoh Champion, she could tell at a glance how different Pikachu was from the one she fought against Kikyo.

The Pikachu of that time clearly had various power boosts, but the current Pikachu, without any power boosts, is almost comparable to the Elite Four level!
