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

Chapter 267 Mental Shattering, Shattered Space!
Advanced Gym is one of the top levels in the Indigo League. So far, the only Pokémon stronger than Advanced Gym are Ash's Pokémon and Paul's Torterra.

Apart from those two, no one else brought out a high-level gym. If it weren't for Ash and Paul standing in their way, with Kaku's Trick Room team and Slowking's high-level gym, winning this year's Indigo League championship would definitely not be a problem.

Xiao Mao has no chance of beating Kaohsiung; he'll just have to send him away if they meet.

Why is it that Gary's travel time is too short, and he doesn't have the same cheat codes as Ash?
However, Kopei can only be said to have come at the wrong time. He happened to meet Ash and Shinji at this Indigo League. It would have been fine if they had met in the semifinals, but meeting them in the round of 16, he could only accept his fate.

But Koping has no intention of accepting his fate yet. With the appearance of Slowking, a confident expression returned to his face. This is the power of belief that Ace brings him.

Even if he is not as good as his opponent in terms of level or strength, as long as Slowking is on the field, he will feel a sense of security.

"We're about to face Slowking. The opponent is very powerful, so we need to restrict its movements first."

“Slow.” Slowking nodded solemnly. With his intelligence, he could clearly sense just how powerful the enemy Pokémon was. To put it bluntly, this was the strongest opponent he had ever faced since his evolution.

"Very good, use the Immobilize spell first!" Kaopin waved his arm, letting Slowpoke use the Immobilize spell to interfere with Gardevoir.

Gardevoir's last move was Luna Force, and that instantaneous Luna Force was terrifying. It had to be sealed away first, otherwise Slowking would never have had a chance to use Trick Room.

"Slow!" Slowpoke's eyes flashed with a sharp blue light, which directly affected Gardevoir. A faint blue light appeared on Gardevoir's black body, which meant that Gardevoir's lunar power had been sealed.

Furthermore, the effect of the immobilization spell is not limited to this. If you continue to attack after hitting the opponent, it can even achieve the literal meaning of the spell, which is to immobilize the opponent!
The effect is actually similar to telekinesis, which is to bind the opponent. However, the binding effect is stronger than telekinesis, second only to mental telekinesis.

Slowking desperately channeled its psychic powers, trying to freeze Gardevoir in place and prevent her from moving. Gardevoir cooperated perfectly, not even lifting her arm or trying to struggle, but simply watching Slowking quietly.

This image seems to say, 'I'll just quietly watch you perform.'

"Excellent, Slowking, use Trick Room!" Kopin finally saw an opportunity. Now that Gardevoir was bound, it was the perfect time to use Trick Room!

For Slowking, whose mental strength has greatly increased after evolution, using two skills at the same time is nothing. On one hand, he uses the Freeze spell to freeze Gardevoir's figure, and on the other hand, he opens up a space!

As long as he can create space, he still has a chance to win!

A cube materialized in front of Slowking, the tiny cube containing extremely profound spatial power. At this moment, Gardevoir still did not move, and Ash did not even give any command.

This made Kaoping a little puzzled. If the other party was immobilized by a spell, it would be understandable that it wouldn't move. But now Gardevoir didn't even struggle, and Ash didn't give any commands. What was going on?

A trap?
Are you kidding me? You think he'd create a magic space as a trap? If it really is a trap, then I'd love to step into it!
Why would anyone voluntarily choose to have the Space Team open a Trick Space? Isn't that ridiculous?
As more and more spatial energy gathered in Slowking's hand, time passed little by little. About two seconds later, the Trick Room in Slowking's hand was fully formed, while Gardevoir still did not make a move.

"Slow!" Slowking roared, spreading the spatial power in his hands, and the power of the Trick Space instantly enveloped the entire area!
Magic Space – Success!
"Hmph! Ash, although I don't know what you're up to, the scales of victory are no longer on your side after Trick Room opened. Now I'll show you what Slowking is all about! Slowking, cast Curse!"

Kaoping smiled with delight and then began to strengthen Slowking.

If a Ghost-type Pokémon uses the Curse move, it will reduce its own maximum HP by half, thus cursing the opponent and causing them to continuously lose HP, with the reduction doubling in magnitude.

However, if it is used by a non-Ghost-type Pokémon, then its speed will decrease by one level, while its defense and attack will increase by one level.

Slowking is not a Ghost-type Pokémon, so the curse will strengthen it.

If there were no Trick Room, and if Slowking were a high-speed Pokémon, the effects of the curse would definitely be more harmful than beneficial, because speed is extremely important in battles between Pokémon, and having the first move can, in a sense, determine the outcome of the battle.

However, Slowking is an extremely slow Pokémon, and now that there is Trick Room on the field, the slower it is, the faster it becomes.

This kind of abstract inequality was also used.

"Gardevoir, give it a try, use Psychic!" After Slowking used Curse, Ash finally spoke up, prompting Gardevoir to use its ultimate move, Psychic!
Gardevoir was not surprised, but nodded calmly. Then, she raised her hands in front of her and a bright purple energy ball rapidly formed and expanded in front of her.

The power contained within caused Slowking and Koppin on the other side to tremble involuntarily.

"What's going on? Why does that move feel so terrifying to me... It's not about its power, but rather the oppressive feeling it carries, it's like I've encountered..." a god.

If Kaoping's perception was already at this level, then Slowking was even more so. As a Psychic-type Pokémon, upon seeing the move used by the opponent, it was as if he saw a Pokémon standing at the pinnacle of Psychic-type Pokémon standing in front of him, as if a god had descended to earth.

The oppressive feeling carried by that skill is unparalleled. Just looking at it makes people feel like they can't breathe. Dazed King knows without a doubt that if he is hit by that skill, he will be dead without a doubt!

"Slowking, stop her! Use the Freeze spell!" Koping couldn't care less about attacking now; sealing that move was the most important thing. Regardless of whether that move could be used or not, at least Gardevoir couldn't use the next move.

At worst, he could recall Slowpoke the moment after using the immobilization spell to avoid damage. Although this was a bit unreasonable, Pokémon battles were all about using everything within the rules.

Returning the Pokémon to its ball to avoid damage is also part of the normal rules.

After receiving the command, Slowking's eyes flashed with a deep blue light once again. The light struck Gardevoir, but it did not stop Gardevoir from using Psychic Strike.

The effect of the "Immobilize" spell is to restrict the use of subsequent moves after a move has been used, rather than directly sealing the opponent's current move. However, Koping had already achieved his goal and was about to take out a Poké Ball to recall Slowking when Gardevoir intervened!

The swollen Psychic Strike, comparable in size to a person, was violently hurled into the sky by Gardevoir.

Seeing that the opponent's move had missed Slowking, Koping stopped holding the Poké Ball.

What are Ash and Gardevoir doing? Why aren't they using their moves on their opponent, but instead throwing them into the air? Are they deliberately holding back because they think their strength is too inferior to their opponent's?
Not only was Kaoping confused, but the surrounding audience and hosts were also baffled. What kind of operation was it to throw skills into the sky?
Just as everyone was wondering, the mental blast that had been aimed at the sky suddenly exploded!
A dazzling purple glow filled the entire sky, and a terrifying shockwave spread through the air, hurtling towards the surrounding spectators.

The audience members instinctively reached out to shield their eyes, as if the shockwave was about to hit them at any moment.

A-Du and the others also jumped up from their seats, quickly took out Poké Balls, and were about to make their move.

Kona stopped Adu, tapped her snow-white chin, and gestured for him to look at the arena.

A-Du then put down the Poké Ball and focused his gaze on the arena. He saw that a transparent blue shield had appeared around the arena, firmly locking in the impact of the Spirit Breaker and preventing the audience from suffering any harm.

"Hey, concern makes me lose my mind. I almost forgot Ash has that." Lance retrieved the Poké Ball and breathed a sigh of relief. If he had intervened just now, it might have been too late. Even with his fast hand speed, he couldn't have stopped the shockwave before it spread.

In reality, Ash would never allow the damage from his Pokémon to spread to the surrounding audience, no matter what. Not to mention that Mewtwo was there to protect them, Ash himself was also good at activating protective shields, so the possibility of the surrounding audience being harmed was almost zero.

However, this time the shield was probably deployed by Mewtwo. Lance didn't sense Ash's unique power on it, but rather a feeling of psychic abilities.

This doesn't count as interfering with the game. You can't just stand by and watch the surrounding spectators get killed by the spreading aftershocks, can you?
That's right, the shockwave from Gardevoir's attack could really wipe out the surrounding spectators...

With the appearance of the protective shield, the surrounding spectators were no longer in danger, and the ground-based Kao Ping was unaffected. It looked like Gardevoir had set off a firework for everyone to watch, which was only pretty but had no real effect.

That's not actually the case...

"Bang!!" A crisp sound rang out in the surrounding space, as if something had shattered.

Kaoping stared wide-eyed at the scene in the sky in disbelief: "The magic space... it's been shattered?!"

That's right, the power spread by the mental shatter did not harm the surrounding audience, but it directly shattered the opened magic space!

Mental Break is Mewtwo's signature move, which can materialize special attacks, making them have the effect of physical attacks.

In other words, it means using special attack power to inflict physical damage on the opponent, which is of great strategic significance in battle, especially against Pokémon with strong special attack.

But besides its strategic significance, this skill has another characteristic: it can shatter invisible skills, such as the Trick Space skill. Unless the space is reversed, it cannot be closed and can only wait for the time to end.

However, mental strikes can directly shatter the magic space; this is the power of divine techniques!
Besides the destruction of the magic space, what Kaoping didn't notice was that the invisible rocks on the field were also swept and bombarded by the power of the mental attack, and were directly shattered.

All the methods that Kaoping had previously laid out were rendered useless by this one mental attack.

Gardevoir slowly lowered its raised arm and looked at Slowking opposite it. Slowking's eyes were blank; even with its intelligence, it couldn't understand how Trick Room had been shattered by the other party.

Was the reason the other party allowed him to open the magic space just now because they thought they could break the magic space?

"Mewtwo was right. Psychic Smash has the power to sweep away all environmental factors. It seems we can use this move to overcome disadvantages on the field in the future..." Ash muttered to himself.

The reason he let Slowking use Trick Room just now wasn't because Gardevoir was immobilized by the opponent's immobilization spell, but because Mewtwo suddenly told him to let Gardevoir try using Psychic to shatter Trick Room.

Theoretically, her skill could do that, but that was just theory; she hadn't tried it. Now that she'd encountered it in real combat, it was a good opportunity to give it a shot.

Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. There are other spirits to fall back on. Just drag it out until the Trick Room ends, and don't open another Trick Room for the opponent after that.

Therefore, Ash decided to give it a try. If Psychic Break could break Trick Room, then he could use this move to deal with spatial and terrain-based moves, including Poison Spikes and Stealth Rock.

This attempt was undoubtedly successful; not only was the magic space broken, but even the invisible rocks were wiped out.

"Then the match should end now... Gardevoir, Moon Power!"

"Sarva!" The instant Ash's voice fell, Gardevoir used Teleport to disappear from its original spot, and the next second it appeared in front of Slowking, its black palm aimed at Slowking.

Under its slightly frightened gaze, the power of the moonburst suddenly rose and exploded!

"boom!!"

The Moonblast hit Slowking at point-blank range. Even though Slowking's Special Defense stat is very strong, it still couldn't withstand the attack due to the absolute level difference!
