Elf: Pikachu Super Revealed, Mortal Body Rivals Gods

Chapter 89: The Hoenn Gym is tough? Don't you know what kind of hell Gate is?!

After defeating the fourth gym, Lava Gym, Ash and his friends continued their journey.

There were also many battles, large and small, along the way.

Until one day, Ash was battling someone wielding a Roar Bomb by the roadside.

Both sides shone with the brilliance of evolution at almost the same time!

It has a bluish-green body, and a very long leaf grows from its head.

Three blade-like green leaves sprouted from its arms.

The tail also became flat.

This is the evolved form of Treecko, Grovyle!

Roaring Bomb evolved into Boomsoon, and Ash's Treecko... finally evolved into Grovyle!

And he learned the signature move of the Treekia clan, Leaf Blade Slash!

After a stylish leaf-blade slash, the forest lizard cut off a new branch and placed it in its mouth.

This signifies that he has now adopted a completely new attitude!

[Cynthia: All those battles, big and small, finally made Treecko evolve! Now, when Sceptile uses Leaf Blade, it's starting to look a bit like Sceptile!]

[Shiba: The Forest Lizard is indeed well-bred... but... even if it evolves into a Sceptile, reaching the level to fight Darkrai won't be easy, will it? To be honest...]

[Yu Longdu: To be honest, this forest lizard isn't anything special, is it?]

[Yulongdu: I think so too. Although he's faster than most forest lizards, aside from his personality, speed, and the fact that he carries a twig in his mouth, he's not actually that much better than other forest lizards!]

[Adek: Perhaps... the forest lizard's power isn't solely due to the forest lizard itself?]

Professor Oak: You're right! Ash's Pokémon aren't actually the most talented ones! But... the reason they've grown to be so powerful, even at the top of the world level, is entirely due to the bond between them and Ash!

[Professor Blatano: Bonds... have always been an unfathomable and mysterious power in this world! Let's see what happens between Sceptile and Ash! I think... that will be a turning point for Sceptile, or rather, for the Sceptile King!]

Many observant trainers, or some Grass-type specialists, have noticed that

Although Ash's Forest Lizard was trained very well

He is also proud and aloof, yet considerate of his companions.

However... his current growth is not worthy of his future achievement of defeating Darkrai!

Perhaps, as Dr. Da Shimu and the others said,

The Forest Lizard itself may not have that much talent, but when it's with Ash,

They will produce a magical chemical reaction!

This is the key to how the Lizard King will become so powerful in the future, even to the point of slaying gods!

In the video—

After evolving at home, Grovyle's move set has been significantly expanded!

A flash of lightning, a leaf blade slash, high-speed movement, shadow clones, continuous slashes, cross-shaped shears!

Compared to before, when they had limited moves and could only rely on striking,

The Treekia, which uses a cheap seed machine gun to fight, is simply incomparable to the Treekia!

During their subsequent journey, Ash and his friends arrived at Petalburg Gym!

From Ash's conversation with May and others, we know that Ash arrived at Petalburg Gym at the very beginning!

However, Petalburg Gym requires three Pokémon to engage in a formal battle.

Ash placed all the Pokémon he had previously caught at Professor Oak's lab for foster care.

Therefore, at the beginning, with only Pikachu, he was unable to formally challenge the Petalburg Gym.

Although it was a friendly match, the outcome was still undecided.

This time when we return, we will officially face the Petalburg Gym!

[Daiwu: Oh? Ash is going to challenge the Petalburg Gym now? I doubt Mr. Senri will use his full strength!]

[Michael: Indeed, after all, he's the man known as the next Heavenly King! He already possesses Heavenly King-level power!]

[Yulongdu: ...Are all other dojos this high?]

[Professor Kukui: Actually, I think... the gyms in the Kanto region are really outrageous... I've battled Gym Leader Kiku at full power, as well as Gym Leader Giovanni, Gym Leader Blaine, and Gym Leader Sabrina...]

[Yu Longdu: Uh... never mind then...]

As Dr. Kukui said, if we're talking about difficulty, the Kanto Gym is truly insane!

If we don't give the badge away halfway, we probably won't be able to beat the Kanto Gym!

Sabrina, the Gym Leader of Saffron City

He is an extremely powerful superhuman in Kanto, and even in the whole world!

Its superpowers are probably comparable to those of a typical Elite Four level psychic Pokémon!

Without being waterproof, she would definitely be a top-tier fighter!

Aside from Kukui, very few reckless individuals actually venture into Saffron City to battle Saber.

After all, there are rumors that if you lose to Sabrina, you will be turned into a doll and played with by her for a few days!

Just hearing this rumor sent chills down Adu's spine.

Turning into a doll... what a terrifying superpower!

As for Blaine from the Crimson Gym, he was an extremely powerful trainer back then!

Now that he's older, all of his older companions, except for the Dracovish, have retired.

Even the Magmar has actually declined in strength quite a bit.

However, the opponent that Kukui faced back then definitely had strength close to that of a near-Elite Four member!

As for A-Ju... on the surface, she is an ordinary poison-type ninja dojo master.

In fact, he has already decided to take over as the king of poison in the Chengdu area!

When he gave it his all... you can imagine!

The last Giovanni... The Viridian Gym is known as the strongest gym in the Kanto region!

I understand everything I understand.

Sakaki of the Earth is no joke!

However... recently there seem to be some clues pointing to Giovanni, who is said to be the leader of Team Rocket.

Adu naturally didn't believe it 90% of the time and was only half-believing.

How could Giovanni possibly be the leader of Team Rocket?!

He often did charity work when he was in Tokiwa City!

Well... lately, the Viridian Dojo is often deserted, and I have no idea what Giovanni is up to.

Did they go on vacation?

We've gone off-topic.

Actually, there are more than eight dojos in Kanto, more than a dozen!

But... Professor Kukui just happened to choose the four strongest gyms to challenge!

This left A-Du speechless.

[Daiwu: Those gyms Kukui mentioned earlier... could they all be equivalent to the Petalburg Gym?]

[Kona: Uh...]

[Mickey: Holy crap! What kind of hellish dungeons do you guys have?! We already thought it was ridiculous to have one Elite Four member as the Gym Leader, and you have four???]

[Edward: No, no, that's not true. I no longer possess the strength of a Heavenly King.]

[Qianli: Not at all, Blaine's strength is still formidable!]

It's bubbling up from a thousand miles away.

Everyone's talking about him these days, so he has no choice but to come out and make his presence felt.

However, even he did not expect that there would be so many dojos with the power of the King-level dojos in the Kanto region!

This is truly a hellish dungeon!

[Genji: Oh? Senri is out! Seeing your future self about to battle Ash, what are your thoughts?]

[Chiri: Hmmm, I'll probably have to use a lot of my strength against Ash.]

"Using a lot of strength" means... not using full power!

After all, Ash Ketchum has only been traveling for a year at most, right?

Asking him to compete with the Heavenly King within a year is somewhat difficult.
