Pokémon: A Roundup of Ash's Eight Masters' Peak Battles!

The image reappeared within the light screen that had been filled with white light.

The wave collision in the video has ended.

Pikachu stood steadily in front of Ash.

Before them lay Zapdos, which had already crashed to the ground.

Zapdos must have been in a terrible state at that moment.

Those eyes were filled with disbelief.

It never imagined that it would lose to other Pokémon in the Electric type category!

Was the opponent too strong, or did I underestimate them?

Zapdos can't remember anymore.

Just as it was pondering, a shadow fell over its head.

Zapdos instinctively looked up.

The young man squatted down in front of him.

The young man reached out and stroked Zapdos's forehead.

A surge of dark blue aura energy flowed from Ash's palm into Zapdos's body.

Warmth filled Zapdos's heart.

Such a gentle power.

This power is even healing the remaining injuries within its body.

Is this power truly something that humans can possess?

At this time.

The young man in front of me took out a Poké Ball.

The Poké Ball gently rested on its head.

Then Zapdos transformed into a beam of white light and was absorbed into it.

Chapter 133 Releasing! Forgive me, Zapdos, for refusing!

The Poké Ball gently rested on the top of Zapdos's head.

Then Zapdos turned into a white light and was absorbed into it.

This time, the Poké Ball didn't fall apart like it did last time.

Instead, it gradually calmed down after shaking.

What does this mean?

The moment the Poké Ball stopped shaking.

The whole world fell into silence.

They had seen trainers capture gods before, but this was the first time they had ever seen a trainer capture a god in front of everyone.

And unlike ordinary trainers, they don't try to persuade the gods to join their team by appealing to their emotions and reasoning.

Ash and Pikachu truly conquered Zapdos with their own strength.

And it's in the area where the opponent is most proficient!

The god of thunder was ultimately defeated by thunder!

It may sound ironic, but isn't it also a kind of glory?

Zapdos should be grateful that it was defeated by Pikachu!

[Lorelei: Wow, this is so dramatic! Zapdos, known as the God of Thunder, was defeated by Pikachu with a powerful Electric-type move like Megavolt. It's really taking a beating.]

[Denji: I hereby declare that Zapdos is stripped of its title of Thunder God, and Ash's Pikachu is now the true Thunder God!]

[Professor Kukui: To be fair, Zapdos still deserves the title of Thunder God. You have to understand, that's tens of millions of volts! It defeated Tapu Koko, who possesses divine powers!]

[Lance: Now that you mention it, it does seem that way. Compared to the island's guardian deity, it seems rather natural that this Zapdos, lacking any divine authority, was defeated by 10 million volts.]

[Little Daisy: You guys make it sound like defeating Zapdos is easy. Why don't you try it yourselves?]

[Iron Spin: Grandpa, let me correct you. Ash didn't just defeat Zapdos; he used his strongest Electric-type move to earn Zapdos's respect. Not everyone can do that.]

[Darkrai: No wonder Darkrai didn't struggle much when I captured it; it's because even with Darkrai by my side, it couldn't give me nightmares!]

[Kamidai: You're quite something. Even Darkrai can't give you nightmares. I think you should get your brain checked; its structure might be different from ours.]

[Cynthia: Congratulations, Ash! You really defeated and captured Zapdos this time. You can now be called a god-like figure.]

[Shiba: Ash's title of "Master" is probably going to increase again!]

Following the Rainbow Warrior and the Sea Warrior.

Ash has earned the title of God-Slayer once again!

……

In the picture—

After the Poké Ball stopped shaking.

Ash stepped forward and picked up the Poké Ball.

Finally, he glanced at Pikachu to the side.

Their eyes sparkled with starlight.

"I caught Zapdos!"

"Pikachu~"

Ash and Pikachu hit it off immediately. Pikachu lightly leaped up and landed in front of Ash, and then Ash and Pikachu gave each other a high five at the same time.

Their tacit understanding was self-evident.

This battle was arguably the most exhilarating one Ash and Pikachu had ever fought in a long time.

None of Pikachu's previous opponents in the World Championships could force it to use its full strength.

Not only Pikachu is upset.

Even Ash was very upset.

Fortunately, the opponent this time was strong enough.

It even led him and Pikachu to use a move like Ten Million Volts.

However, Zapdos clearly lacks the ability to fully absorb 10 million volts.

As for Pikachu.

He finally taught that scruffy bird that was flirting with electricity in front of him a lesson.

Of course, this was the name given before Zapdos was captured.

Now that they've won over the other side, Pikachu can no longer lead the way in causing division.

Since they are both in the electrical engineering field, it's not a big deal to have the other person as my subordinate.

Ash picked up the Poké Ball and led the still-shocked Haru away from the power plant rooftop.

Their destination was naturally the Pokémon Center.

Pikachu needs a quick check-up after the battle.

After all, Pikachu withstood Zapdos's thunder for so long.

As for Zapdos, it needs proper treatment.

First, it was hit by Pikachu's thunder, and then it was struck by tens of millions of volts.

He also suffered from the side effects of Mad Volta.

To retain consciousness even at the very end of being subdued is quite remarkable; self-awareness is already an achievement.

We arrived at the Pokémon Center.

This resulted in Pikachu and the Poké Ball containing Zapdos being placed in front of Nurse Joy.

Miss Joy and Ash are old acquaintances.

Ash obtained his Riolu's Pokémon egg from this Pokémon Center.

Upon seeing that the visitor was Ash, Nurse Joy greeted him warmly.

After letting Xiaozhi wait a while...

Miss Nurse took Pikachu and the Poké Ball to the recovery room at the back.

after awhile.

Nurse Joy walked up to Ash with a Poké Ball and Pikachu.

only.

At this moment, Miss Joey's face was full of unspoken words.
