Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

At the same time, he pulled out the first Poké Ball on his right from his waist and threw it hard. A turtle-shaped Pokémon with four legs on the ground and a large plant on its back appeared on the field.

"Turtle, prepare for battle."

This Torterra was his starter Pokémon. He originally planned to send out the potentially powerful Electabuzz to deal with the seemingly strong Pikachu in order to gain experience points.

But the series of defeats left him with no motivation to engage in battles of that caliber, so he could only bring out his longest-standing Torterra to fight.

"This big guy is..."

Seeing the somewhat familiar behemoth before her, Xiao Guang quickly took out her pink Pokédex to scan it.

"Torterra, a continental Pokémon, is the final evolution of Torterra. Sometimes, small Pokémon gather together and build a nest on the back of a motionless Torterra."

It turns out that it really is the final evolution of that little turtle from before, which is quite surprising.

Looking at the large green turtle, Xiao Guang couldn't help but sigh, no wonder this Pokémon looked so familiar.

"Come back, Aipom, thank you for your hard work."

Take your hat back from the mischievous long-tailed monster, praise it, and then put it back into the ball.

Just by looking at it, you can tell that this Torterra is extremely powerful and its defense seems to be quite strong as well. Aipom would definitely be no match for it.

Based on its level, it's at least a level 50 Pokémon, the most suitable Pokémon for a regular Gym Leader, and even close to the Elite Four level.

After all, Shinji is a trainer who has traveled to several regions, and Torterra, as his starter Pokémon, must be quite strong.

"This guy is really ruthless, he actually used a Turtles!" He couldn't help but mutter with a sneer.

But then they began to analyze which Pokémon to send out.

Because of his Pokémon slot, at the beginning of his journey he only carried Pikachu, a recently captured Scyther, a newly returned Pidgeot, and reserved a slot for the mischievous Aipom.

Only two Pokémon slots were reserved for catching newly captured Pokémon.

"In that case, I've decided on you, Pidgeot."

Analyzing the Pokémon I have, I found that besides Pikachu, the strongest Pokémon, only Pidgeot, which just returned, is capable of challenging me.

He didn't hesitate to take out Pidgeot's Poké Ball.

A magnificent-looking Pidgeot was seen flying in mid-air, full of fighting spirit, its sharp eyes fixed on the Tortoise below.

"The Pidgeotto of Kanto!"

Upon seeing this Pokémon, Shinji frowned. Was the opponent trying to exploit type advantage by sending out Pidgeot?

But he didn't think much of it. His Torterra had been with him in many regions, and its strength couldn't be judged simply by type advantage.

Chapter 12: M'Kel Released, and Dissatisfied Hikari

"Is this... a spirit from Kanto?"

Looking at the handsome Pidgeot, Xiao Guang couldn't help but take out his Pokédex again to check it.

"Pidgeotto, a bird Pokémon, is the final evolution of Pidgey. It can hunt for food at a flight speed of Mach 2, and its huge claws are very fearsome weapons."

"So...so awesome!"

Although he didn't know what Mach 2 meant, after hearing the description in the encyclopedia, Xiao Guang subconsciously exclaimed in admiration and focused intently on observing the battle between the giant raptor and the large tortoise.

Before the two sides clashed, she couldn't tell which side was stronger.

"Hidot, Air Blade!"

On the other side, Ash's team seized the initiative, allowing Pidgeot to use one of its few ranged attack methods.

Because the opponent's Tortoise is stronger, ranged attrition tactics are essential.

A stream of air seemed to gather out of thin air and condense around the enormous wings, as if it had been compressed, and the sharpness of the blade was visible to the naked eye.

"Bi~"

With a cry from Pidgeot, a sharp blade of air whistled past, hurtling towards Torterra at unparalleled speed.

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

One after another, sharp blades of air flew towards the earthen platform turtle below with a whooshing sound.

Due to their size disadvantage, the Terrapin Tortoise is destined to lack high mobility; it can either take the initiative to fight back or simply endure the attack.

And that's exactly what Shinji did.

"Use a seed machine gun."

"Tutai!"

Upon hearing this, the Earth Platform Turtle opened its gaping maw, and seeds imbued with luminous green energy collided with the sharp blades of air in the sky.

The evenly matched attacks canceled each other out in the sky, almost completely blocking Pidgeot's air blades.

As for the few sporadic attacks, they were simply not a concern for the massive and energetic Earth Tortoise.

After all, years of enduring hardship have allowed the Earth Platform Tortoise to develop extraordinary skills at a young age.

However, against Pidgeot, which has the ability to fly, Torterra can only silently endure attacks from the air for a short period of time.

Wait patiently for the right opportunity to strike back.

"It looks like Ash's side has the advantage again!"

Bling-bling blue eyes were fixed on the field, as if afraid of missing anything.

Even Piplup, standing beneath her feet, didn't blink an eye at the sight of the intense battle between the human and the Pokémon, as if afraid of missing anything.

Xiao Gang, standing to the side, was doing the same, constantly watching the outcome of the match between the two.

"Very good, use hardened plants!"

Meanwhile, Pidgeot used a ranged attack to lower its position slightly in the air, and Shinji keenly sensed this opportunity.

They exchanged a glance with their longtime partner, Torterra, who suddenly stomped its foot and launched an attack.

Thick, thorny plants sprouted from the ground, instantly surrounding the low-flying Pidgeot and constantly shrinking its living space.

"Steel Wings."

Ash remained calm as he watched Pidgeot surrounded by thorny plants, because he had already planned his response.

"Pedigree~Pedigree~"

With a rousing cry, the Pidgeot's pair of wings, nearly three meters long, gleamed with a metallic sheen, turning into something as solid as steel.

At that very moment, the hardened plants of the Torterra surrounded them, but Pidgeot used its Steel Wings to cut them all apart and escaped instantly.

Even so, Pidgeot still suffered considerable damage under the control of the Grass-type ultimate move.

"Lightning Flash plus Steel Wings!"

Since his skills were not working, he chose to charge at his opponent with the most powerful skill that Pidgeot currently possessed, intending to deal damage through melee combat.

"Hardened plants".

Shinji maintained his cold expression, but now a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Tutai~"

The earth turtle let out a deafening roar, its heavy feet slamming into the ground, and one green vine after another responded to its call, constantly sprouting from the ground.

This time, the target of the attack was not the Pidgeot that was about to attack, but rather the Torterra itself, which was completely enveloped and transformed into a huge green sphere.

"Pidgeon~"

At this moment, Pidgeot, who rushed up with a flash of lightning, used its steel wings to cut wildly. With its powerful strength and sharp steel wings, it cut all the plants in one go.

However, what Pidgeot will face next is...

"Now is the time for super absorption."

A wide smile spread across his face as several unique green vines extended from the Earth Tortoise's body, enveloping the sculptor's steel wings.

It frantically drains Pidgeot's stamina, while Torterra glows with a fluorescent green light, constantly restoring its own stamina.

"As expected of Shinji, everything he did before was a setup for this step!" Ash smiled as he looked at the Pidgeot in pain and the Torterra recovering its strength.

This aligns perfectly with Shinji's tactics; all the previous attacks were feints, all for the final counterattack.

But isn't this also what he was thinking?

"Brave Bird Striker!"

Despite Pidgeot being hit by Torterra's Mega Drain, the damage it actually suffered was not significant.

Having conserved a great deal of energy earlier, the eagle still has room to fight back.

"Bi~"

Just as he expected, Pidgeot suddenly unleashed a burst of energy, and the vines covering Pidgeot instantly crumbled.

The freed Pidgeot instantly charged at the belly of the Torterra and launched an attack, its powerful energy instantly flipping the enormous Torterra over.

Because it was one of the few remaining Flying-type moves that Pidgeot possessed, this attack was extremely effective.

Boom boom boom! ! !

Amidst the explosions, the behemoth, standing 2.4 meters tall and 5 meters long, was flipped over, its entire body sinking into the ground due to the blasts, with cracks appearing around the center of the tortoise.
