Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master.

Chapter 501 You Super Evolve, I Super Evolve Too

The ferocious flying dragon circled in the sky, and the surrounding disciples cheered. The battle had finally reached its climax.

"Wow, compared to Ash's Salamence, Mr. Genji's Salamence is much more imposing."

"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen Ash's Pokémon get outmatched in a battle of wills."

Xiaoyao and the others quickly put in even more effort to cheer on Xiaozhi.

"Keep it up, Ash!"

"Pikachu, Pikachu pikachu!"

The moment Ash saw the Grimmsnarl, he knew that its strength was extraordinary.

It is definitely a more troublesome opponent than the Poisonous Algae Dragon or the Double Haxorus.

At this moment, Genji had not stopped what he was doing. He twisted the sailboat badge in the middle of his captain's hat, revealing a keystone hidden behind it, and then immediately shouted loudly.

"Respond to my heart, Salamence Mega Evolve!"

"roar!"

The already imposing Salamence suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

The surrounding sailors were all shocked, never expecting their teacher to be so serious today.

In a burst of light, the pair of wings on the back of the Salamence gradually grew larger and merged into one, forming a huge new crescent-shaped wing.

The head, neck, and torso became slimmer, the limbs shortened, and the tail became longer and thinner, giving the whole body a pleasingly streamlined shape and greatly increasing its flight speed.

A moment later, the Super Salamence hung majestically in the sky.

Genji also immediately issued the order to attack without any hesitation.

"Salamander, charge!"

"roar!"

The Mega Salamence broke through the sound barrier in the blink of an eye and charged down with tremendous speed.

Its imposing presence frightened a large flock of seagulls that had been circling above the sailboat, causing them to flee in an instant.

Because after Mega Evolution, Salamence's ability changes to Flying Skin.

Therefore, every Normal-type move it uses at this time will change its type to Flying and gain an additional 20% power boost.

Furthermore, with the added 50% damage bonus from the Flying-type STAB after the attribute change, Mega Salamence's charge attack is incredibly powerful.

It's important to know that Charge is a powerful Normal-type physical attack with a power of 120, which is something that ordinary Pokémon cannot withstand.

"Is this what it looks like when Genji-san goes all out? It's truly—truly exciting!"

Ash didn't hesitate at all when facing such a strong opponent.

Thinking, "Should I avoid his sharp edge?", I also waved my hand in a grand gesture.

"Go, Garchomp! Let's use Dragon Dive again and ram it!"

"Aww!"

Garchomp immediately sprang up from the ground, and its massive dragon head phantom reappeared, colliding with Crescent.

It instantly caused a violent explosion in mid-air, and people around covered their ears.

A few moments later, the smoke dissipated.

The Mega Salamence and Garchomp were still locked in a fierce stalemate in mid-air.

"Salamander, give it your all! Our power won't stop here!"

"roar--!"

The Salamence, which had transformed into a crescent moon, ripped through the dragon's head phantom with a roar from Genji.

"Ah, Ash's Garchomp!"

"As expected, Garchomp's power still can't compare to Mr. Genji's Mega Evolved Salamence."

Just as May and Max exclaimed in surprise, Ash immediately looked towards the field.

"Is Garchomp alright?"

"Aww~"

At this moment, Garchomp crashed heavily back onto the battlefield. However, being Ash's Pokémon, it did not lose its ability to battle immediately. Instead, it stubbornly stood up.

However, the intense poison then took effect, and combined with its injuries, the pain caused it to immediately kneel down.

"Hold on, Garchomp!"

Although Garchomp lost the collision just now, its attack was not without effect.

At this moment, Salamence had several more wounds on its body, and because it charged forward to attack its opponent, it also suffered nearly 1/3 of the damage it dealt as a reflection.

Therefore, Ash understands that Mega Salamence is definitely not having an easy time either.

However, Genji's Salamence was still full of energy after its debut, and its condition was much better than Garchomp's.

At this moment, Salamence once again approached Garchomp.

"Now's your chance, Salamence, unleash your Dragon Tail!"

"Garuda, Dragon Claw!"

While Dragon Tail Attack can force the opponent's Pokémon back into its Poké Ball while dealing damage, its long wind-up time means it always attacks after the opponent has used it.

Garchomp swung its claws first, but unfortunately, its venom took effect, causing Garchomp to stumble and miss its target.

Meanwhile, Mega Salamence's now elongated tail lashed out like a whip at Garchomp.

This attack rendered Garchomp incapacitated.

Its body transformed into a beam of light and returned to the Poké Ball, then switched Ash's Salamence out.

"Why is it Salamence again?" Ash was also surprised, but since it's here, let it make the most of it.

The Salamence, still a bit dazed, was somewhat confused by the Mega Salamence in front of it, but Ash's voice quickly snapped it out of its daze.

"Salamander, use Outrage!"

This is a skill that Ash specifically taught to Salamence.

Outrage is a powerful physical attack move of the Dragon type, but it will lock the attack for a period of time after each use.

During this time, Salamence will uncontrollably use Outrage to attack wildly, and after the attack ends, it will fall into a confused state.

However, Salamence was already in a bad state. The damage it had suffered earlier, coupled with the depletion from its poison, meant it didn't have many chances to attack.

Ash doesn't care about chaos; the key is to inflict as much damage as possible on the opponent.

Salamence charged toward Mega Salamence with its claws outstretched.

Then, without even glancing at it, Mega Salamence immediately unleashed a Dragon Claw attack, sending Ash's Salamence crashing back to the ground at high speed.

Ash's Salamence is unable to battle!

There was nothing he could do; the level difference was too great. This result was within Ash's expectations. After saying thank you for your hard work to Salamence, he put it back into its Poké Ball.

Salamence and Garchomp need to grow even more.

"As expected of Mr. Genji's ace Pokémon, it's really strong. It took away two of my Pokémon in one go."

"However, this is the end of the reverse trend!" Ash looked up again, his gaze firm.

He once again sent his main Dragonite back to the battlefield.

A yellow figure flashed by, instantly flying into the air to confront the Salamence.

The fat guy is back!

The poison spikes on the ground were activated again, but Dragonite just brushed them off as if they were being bitten by a mosquito.

Its sharp gaze met the flying dragon in the sky, sparking intense energy.

At this moment, Ash rolled up his sleeves, revealing the Key Stone on his wrist.

Since they obtained that evolution stone after challenging the Orange League, neither he nor Dragonite have had a proper chance to use it.

"Dragonite, Mega Evolve!"
