Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

Piao Tai, standing on the left side of the field, also seemed somewhat puzzled.

"My Aerodactyl has converted its Flying-type to Normal-type using Roost. Even with Feather Dance reducing its output, its STAB boost should still make Giga Impact stronger than its opponent's!"

Neither side was satisfied with the result, each believing they should have crushed the other in this match.

"Bi~"

"roar~"

The battle finally came to a conclusion after both Pokémon roared in unison.

Ultimately, the fossil aerodynamic blast from Pidgeot's deep purple Hyper Beam knocked the aerodynamic blast off the sky and onto the ground.

Then the final steel wing strike sealed the deal.

"Aerodactyl is unable to battle. Gym Leader, please replace it with a different Pokémon!!"

After a slight pause, the referee made a surprising judgment.

Although this Aerodactyl is a Pokémon that Gym Leader Hyotai recently revived, its strength is definitely not weak, and it can definitely still be among Gym Leader Hyotai's main force.

They still lost so easily.

Shinji: “…”

Shinji remained silent on the stage, but he understood one thing: the Pidgeot had become stronger again.

Either they didn't use their full strength last time, or they've recently made a breakthrough in their abilities.

Regardless of the reason, it demonstrates Ash's strength, which is why the Gym Leader revealed his true power.

"Wow! Is this the gym challenge? This is amazing!" Feeling the intense battle, Hikari couldn't help but stand up, excitedly waving his arms and legs.

"You can force the opponent to bring out their main force, that's more like you, Xiao Zhi!"

Xiao Gang squinted slightly, equally happy for Xiao Zhi, and sincerely offered his blessings.

"Great job, Pidgeot! You've improved a lot these days!"

Looking at the large bird in front of him, Ash smiled and stroked it, showering it with praise.

"Bi~"

Pidgeot turned its head to the side, bringing its head closer to Ash, enjoying the trainer's pats and praise.

"What a formidable opponent!"

Piao Tai, standing to the side, offered a few words of comfort to Aerodactyl, while his gaze burned even more intensely at Ash.

It had been a long time since he had encountered such a satisfying challenger. The battle had successfully piqued Piao Tai's curiosity, and he unconsciously picked up another of his main Pokémon's Poké Balls.

He shouted excitedly, "Go, Warhammer Dragon!"

With a flash of red light, a warhammer dragon with a gray body and blue stripes on its tail, knees and neck appeared before everyone.

This is also an ancient Pokémon, an evolved form of Cranidoth.

It is much larger and extremely adept at headbutt attacks, as can be seen from the white spikes that grow on its head.

The two scarlet eyes gave off an extremely heavy and oppressive feeling.

(Two generous donors gave gifts totaling 8.8 this morning, which, combined with the 8.14 from yesterday and the late-night donation, equals 16.94. One more chapter will be added for every 10 donations over 10. Please continue to donate!)

Chapter 35: The Scizor, a Balance of Speed, Strength, and Defense

"Hmm, Warhammer Dragon?"

The appearance of this Pokémon was truly unexpected for Ash, since in his memory it was still that small, goofy Cranidoth.

Instead of the Warhammer Dragon standing before them, whose imposing presence was even greater than that of the Pteranodon.

However, considering that this is the true strength of the gym leader, then this Warhammer Dragon is very likely to be one of the main forces in Piaotai's team.

"Thank you for your hard work, Pidgeot. Now, leave the rest of the battle to Scizor!"

I stroked the eagle's soft feathers a few more times, and then put him back into the ball.

It's not that Pidgeot is no match for this Warhammer Dragon. Even though Pidgeot took a hit from an Aerodactyl's Thunder Fang, thanks to the sustain it gains from Roost, Pidgeot will definitely still have a fighting chance.

But he definitely has to consider the feelings of the other Pokémon.

One Pokémon, one battle—that's the agreed-upon distribution method.

"Your turn, Scizor!"

A scyther clad in crimson armor appeared on the field, its massive pincers raised towards its enemy, its gaze sharp, everything ready.

"Warhammer Dragon, calmly observe the situation!"

Seeing Ash send out his Steel-type Scizor, Piao Tai knew he was being targeted and warned his Rammus to be on high alert, not daring to be careless at all.

"Bullet punch!"

With the initiative in hand, Ash immediately had Scizor use Bullet Punch, a move that was guaranteed to be the first strike.

"Warhammer Dragon, stay alert!"

Piao Tai and War Hammer Dragon kept a close eye on the Scizor not far away, paying attention to its position.

But the moment Ash gave the command, the crimson figure vanished from its spot.

"Disappeared!? It's that fast? Doesn't the weight gain from its evolution have any effect on Scizor?" Shinji on the stage said, speechless.

"I see, the lightweight metal properties? My weight is reduced to half of what it used to be, I have unparalleled speed, and I also have the formidable strength and impenetrable defense of steel armor."

The more experienced owner, Piao Tai, quickly understood the reason, but his expression became even more unpleasant.

Because the weakness of Warhammer Dragon lies in its speed.

Facing a swiftly charging mantis, you might not even be able to touch its fur, making it difficult to mount an effective counterattack.

boom!

Just as Piao Tai was pondering, the Scizor swung its massive pincers and delivered a straight punch to the face of the Warhammer Dragon.

Without any time to react, the Warhammer Dragon was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Get up and use Rock Tomb on Scizor!" Piao Tai shouted at the fallen War Hammer Dragon. To break the stalemate, he had to limit the opponent's speed.

"roar~"

The Warhammer Dragon quickly stood up, its forepaws and eyes radiating an earthy yellow energy. Huge rocks rose from the ground and surged towards the location of the Scizor.

"Move at high speed!"

Faced with the pincer attack from both sides of the rocks, Scizor instantly vanished from its spot, escaping the encirclement of rocks like a streak of red lightning.

"roar~"

However, the Warhammer Dragon relentlessly controlled the rocks, and more and more rocks blocked the Scizor's path, relentlessly entangled the Scizor.

"This... the rock blockade is really long-lasting!"

Looking at the increasing number of rocks on the battlefield, Ash said somewhat uncomfortably, "At this rate, this battlefield will soon be transformed into a rocky landscape."

"Charge towards the Warhammer Dragon!"

Since the other party is so determined to fight, he has no choice but to comply.

"Cha~"

As a proud warrior, Scizor enjoys head-on battles even more.

So, without questioning Ash's command, it charged toward the direction of the Rammus.

"Very well, in that case, let's use the Double-Edged Headbutt!"

Seeing that the other party wanted to go head-to-head with his Warhammer Dragon, Piao Tai's eyes flickered slightly, and he excitedly made the Warhammer Dragon unleash its strongest attack.

"roar~"

With a roar, ochre-colored energy gathered in the head of the Warhammer Dragon, which then savagely charged at the oncoming Scizor.

The two sides looked like a case of an egg trying to break a rock.

boom!

The moment the Warhammer Dragon's head collided with the Scizor, the red figure vanished in a puff of smoke.

"Oh no, it's a stand-in!"

Piao Tai instantly realized he had fallen into a trap; the other party's true identity had already been hidden.

"Hmph! Now that the rocks are everywhere, they've become a perfect hiding place for the Scizor!"

He naturally couldn't let Scizor clash head-on with the opponent's Double-Edged Hammer, so he hid his true form behind a rock and sent a substitute to confuse the opponent.

"Cannon light cannon!"

The Scizor focused the light of its body on a single point and unleashed a burst of metallic energy, which struck the Warhammer Dragon, which had just stopped its double-edged headbutt.

This Steel-type move, which has a double advantage, struck the Warhammer Dragon's belly and then slammed it into the ground.

"Roar!"

The Warhammer Dragon was in agony, and it raged helplessly at the distant Scizor.
