Elf: Pikachu Super Revealed, Mortal Body Rivals Gods

Just like the Gible that evolved this time.

Gible's level is definitely not low, but it took so long to evolve, and there are many factors involved.

(To be honest, if evolution is possible at level 18 in the anime, then Ash's Snivy shouldn't be unable to evolve. I remember that girl knows Leaf Storm.)

Ash readily agreed to Professor Oak's request; in fact, that was exactly what he had planned to do.

……

[Lance: I'm really looking forward to it! It seems like this time we'll get a glimpse of Ash's full power!]

[Da Ye: Putting everything else aside, I just want to see how strong that Infernape is! I have a feeling it's an Infernape that's just as strong as mine!]

[Wu Song: That's enough. You've already said it once, Big Leaf. It's hard to tell if you're praising your Infernape or using Ash's Infernape to praise yours.]

[Da Ye: ...]

So all I've been doing is praising my Infernape?

[Daiwu: I'm actually quite interested in Ash's Snorlax. Even though he's always sleeping when the camera focuses on him, I can feel the immense energy contained within that huge body!]

Sabrina: I'm telling you, you've all gone too far. Anyone who didn't know better would think you all had superpowers. What are you speculating about through the screen? Ash will see their strength when he battles with those Pokémon.

[Cattleya: Exactly! And you're all praising Ash's Pokémon, are you scared off by Ash's Baby Team and thinking you'll be proven wrong?]

[Yu Longdu: To be honest, putting everything else aside, I think that Swellow is definitely weak! It was instantly killed by Latios's Giga Impact!]

As a Flying-type... no, as a part-time Flying-type champion, A-Du believes he has some knowledge of Flying-type Pokémon!

In his opinion, that Swellow... was definitely a weak Flying-type!

Even if Latios is strong, being defeated in one move... isn't that a bit too weak?

[Karuno: A guessing game – will Wataru make a bad prediction this time?]

Cynthia: Yes

Kona: Yes

【Cadelia: +1】

【…】

The comments were unanimous; not a single person was optimistic about Adu's statement.

Although A-Du is the champion of the flying class, and the performance of the Great Swallow was indeed disappointing.

But... they believed in the possibility of Adu's mouth being open!

It can heal the living to death, and the dead to live! This is the most poisonous healer in the world—Yu Long Du!

I'm shivering and cold, when will Adu be able to stand up again!

Yu Longdu clenched his fists, determined to avenge himself and erase his reputation as a jinx!

It all depends on when the Great Queen Swan will appear to fight...

……

In the video—

Several days have passed since the match against Lt. Surge.

During this period, Ash did not go into battle, but instead began to carry out his mission as a special researcher.

It wasn't a big mission; most of the time it was just checking out the sprites and investigating them.

As a result, Ash's ranking has dropped somewhat during this period.

After all, if Ash doesn't participate in the battle, then if someone else wins, their ranking will definitely rise and put Ash down.

However, Ash wasn't flustered at all, since there was still a long time before the season ended.

All he can do is try his best to win every battle; panicking won't help.

Today, Ash and Haru received a mission to find Ditto.

It turns out that a versatile actor from a film crew has gone missing.

That Ditto was actually a pretty good actor, but he always got nervous and couldn't transform properly.

During a reprimand from the director, Ditto ran away.

Now, the director has another new film that requires the Ditto. If the Ditto performs well...

Maybe that's how I'll officially embark on my acting career.

Therefore, the manager asked Ash and Haru to find Ditto as soon as possible.

However, Ash and Haru searched every street and alley but could not find Ditto.

The scene shifts to the other side.

The missing Ditto was actually in Team Rocket's 'secret base'!

It was called a secret base, but it was really just a sewer.

Ditto wasn't captured by Team Rocket; they just happened to encounter it.

After Meow Meow translated, they understood that Ditto was kicked out of the show because he couldn't transform!

This was a lie told by Ditto; she didn't want anyone to know that she had secretly run away.

(Ditto is normally genderless, but in the anime, everyone considers it female, so we'll just refer to it as 'she' here.)

Subsequently, the Rockets' trio began doing things that were completely inconsistent with their status.

That is to help Ditto perfectly learn to transform!

They claimed that Ditto's perfect transformation would make it easier for them to capture Pokémon!

However, the audience knew that the final result would definitely not be like that...

Thanks to Team Rocket's tireless efforts, Ditto finally mastered the Transformation skill perfectly.

And the Rockets trio used a scheme,

They want to use magic to replace Pikachu with Ditto, and then let Ditto secretly escape!

However, Ash, a breeder of electric mice for twenty-five years,

How could they not recognize their own electric mouse?

He's obsessed with electric mice.

They immediately recognized Ditto's perfect transformation and exposed Team Rocket's true colors!

After a series of struggles, Pikachu was rescued by Haru's Yonex.

The production team's agent also contacted them and informed the Rockets trio.

It turns out that Ditto didn't leave because he was fired, but simply because he couldn't accept being reprimanded.

That's why I left the group.

They retreated first and returned to their own secret underground base.

After much deliberation, they decided... to let Ditto continue to fulfill her dream!

Because Musashi also hoped to debut as an actor back then.

However, due to various reasons, she eventually had to give up her dream.

She couldn't bear to see the Ditto, who shared the same dream as her, end up with the same fate!

So, the Rockets' trio began to devise a plan.

This time, they're not going to do bad things, but good things!

Therefore, the long-standing principle of 'failed schemes' did not work this time!

They first lured the agent to a secluded forest and demanded a ransom from him.

After Ash and Haru's manager arrived, the Team Rocket trio took out the trapped Ditto and began to taunt Ash and the others.

Xiaochun keenly sensed that something was amiss.

Why did they come with ransom money to redeem the elves, yet have no intention of actually paying it?

And they kept mocking Ash...

"...Hahaha, how about that? You're all helpless watching us trap and torture Ditto, aren't you!"

"If you want to defeat us, you'll at least need to use a powerful move like Thunderbolt, meow!"

"Even if you used 100,000 volts, it might not have worked! After all, we are extremely powerful now!"

Jessie winked at Ash, who looked completely bewildered.

What the hell are they talking about?

Seeing Ash's slow reaction, Musashi couldn't help but curse angrily.

"What a slowpoke! I told you I used 100,000 volts, didn't you understand?!"

Xiao Zhi was stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily in return.

"I don't understand a word you're saying. Since you're insisting... Pikachu, Thunderbolt!!!"
