The strongest gym leader starts by beating up Gary.

And now Ash has actually sent out Pikachu!

This made them feel somewhat uneasy.

Ma Zhiqi took a deep breath and brought out his true main Pokémon.

"Go ahead, Raichu!"

Pikachu vs. Raichu.

"The Gym Challenge initiated by Ash from Pallet Town has officially begun, and the rules for the match are 1v1!"

"Game start!"

"Iron Tail!" X2

Xiao Zhi and Ma Zhiqi gave the exact same commands.

When you don't know whether your opponent is a lightning rod or static electricity, it's normal to use other skills to engage in a fight first.

On the fighting stage, the battle between the two electric mice produced a clanging sound like metal striking metal.

"Chu~ Pikachu!"

Pikachu's Iron Tail clashed with Raichu's Iron Tail several times, but Pikachu only managed to gain a slight advantage and was not completely overwhelmed.

The new trainers around were stunned by what they saw.

"How is this possible? His Pikachu wasn't completely crushed?!"

"Could it be that Ash's Pikachu is a higher level than Raichu?"

As novice trainers, they cannot determine the approximate level of a Pokémon with the naked eye.

"What's going on? Boss Raichu's level is much higher than that kid's! How could this happen!"

Even Ma Zhiqi's group of underlings were stunned.

They couldn't understand why their boss Raichu, despite having a level and base stats that completely outclassed Pikachu, couldn't defeat Pikachu.

"Of course, it's because of the bond between Ash and Pikachu!"

"That's right! That's right, Pikachu is Ash's starter Pokémon, and it's incredibly strong."

Misty, as a witness to Ash's journey to the present, and Pikachu, who has just started his journey, can easily defeat a flock of Spearow.

Xiaoxia was well aware of the terrifying power contained within Ash's Pikachu.

"Of course, that brat Pikachu is the strongest!"

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to such lengths to catch him!"

In an inconspicuous corner of the gym, the Team Rocket trio had already disguised themselves and were lying in wait inside.

They were just trying to find a job and save some money, but they never expected to witness such a scene.

"Go for it, little rascal!"

"Your Pikachu is the strongest! Only your Pikachu is a target worth our Team Rocket trio's lifelong struggle to catch!"

"That's right! Meow!"

Team Rocket also switched sides at lightning speed, wholeheartedly cheering for Ash and Pikachu.

Even Xiao Mao seemed a little surprised at this moment, and touched his chin.

"Wait a minute, when Ash battled me, Pikachu wasn't this strong, was it?"

"Does being a brute make you stronger?"

Just as Xiao Mao was pondering whether he should go and challenge the other players himself.

Suddenly, Ma Zhiqi, who was still the dojo owner, noticed something amiss.

If Pikachu can hold its own against Raichu, there's only one possibility!

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said...

"Hey kid, your Pikachu has an Electric Ball with it, right?"

[Electric Ball: Pikachu's exclusive item, which doubles Pikachu's Attack and Special Attack.]

In terms of boosting effect alone, the Electric Ball is undoubtedly the number one item in Pokémon!

Unfortunately, the Electric Ball can only be used on Pikachu, whose base stats are so low that it's practically a stray dog.

Perhaps this is a prop created by the Creator God in the dark to reward Pikachu for its contributions to the development of the Pokémon world.

Upon hearing the extremely obscure name of this item, the new trainers present were completely baffled, and even Ma Zhiqi's underlings had only a vague understanding.

Only Xiao Mao, Xiao Gang, and the others suddenly realized and slapped their foreheads, saying...

"Oh right! There's also the Electric Ball, that exclusive item! It's so obscure I almost forgot about it!"

However, just as he suddenly realized what was going on, Xiao Mao suddenly understood something.

"Wait, Ash, did you not bring any items when you battled me?"

Ash looked completely bewildered.

"Yes, this electric ball was given to me by my master before I left the dojo."

Hearing Ash's words, Gary suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

"Why won't Master give it to me?"

Fang Yuan responded, "You're Professor Oak's grandson, do you really need those ordinary gadgets?"

Yes, all of Gary's Pokémon are equipped with items of at least blue quality.

This is completely different from Ash, who recklessly charges in from beginning to end.

Items? I've barely memorized the attribute counter chart, my understanding of items is still in its early stages.

Shigeru took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask himself a question: If Ash had all the items, plus his evolved Charizard, could I still win?

Xiao Mao banished those chaotic thoughts from his mind and stood up.

As the top disciple of the Matsuzo Dojo, Shigeru knew he wasn't thinking about these things, so he stood up and said loudly.

"Ash! Go for it! You have to win!"

Looking at Ash's Pikachu, Ma Zhiqi's face showed impatience for the first time.

"Damn it, you really think you can win with just one gadget?"

"Raichu, knock it down!"

[Knock Off: Dark type, knocks off the opponent's items, rendering them ineffective.]

Ash's expression turned serious, and he said to Pikachu...

"Dig a hole in the ground!"

Ash's Pikachu frantically scratched the ground with its little paws before burrowing into the ground.

"They've even learned how to dig tunnels!"

Ma Zhiqi felt even more agitated as he watched Pikachu disappear.

Raichu's slap missed, and he looked at the cave entrance in front of him with some confusion.

The next second, Pikachu burst out of the hole, lunging forward with one hand, its movements resembling those of Superman.

"Get out of the way!" Ma Zhiqi immediately commanded.

But Pikachu's fist still carried surging Ground-type energy, and it landed squarely on Raichu's chin.

If Ma Zhiqi hadn't given the order quickly enough, Pikachu's punch would have been enough to give Raichu a run for its money.

"Lai, Lai."

Raichu rubbed his chin, wincing slightly.

Looking at the scene, although it was unbelievable, Shigeru could clearly see that Ash and his Pikachu had actually gained the upper hand!

Seeing this, Ma Zhiqi was very unhappy, but he had to admit that his chances of winning were very slim if the fight continued like this.

At this moment, Ma Zhiqi deeply regretted choosing Raichu in order to better humiliate his opponent.

Instead of sending out his strongest Pokémon.

"Damn guy!"

Ma Zhiqi took a deep breath. As a dojo master, he could not accept being challenged by disciples from other dojos.

If he really loses, how can he face continuing to be the dojo master? Let alone compete for the position of one of the eight dojos!

"We must win! We must win, no matter what it takes!"

Chapter 120 Despicable Methods, Fang Yuan Makes His Move

"Is this the Speed ​​Dojo?"

Fang Yuan touched his chest, his face pale, and looked at Cynthia standing beside him, who had a normal expression, and Garchomp, who was still full of energy.

Fang Yuan could only think silently in his heart.

"As expected of the world of elves, everyone here is a super newbie."

Cynthia looked at Fang Yuandao with a calm expression.

"Master Fang, let's go."

Cynthia looked at Fang Yuan, whose face was somewhat pale, and felt a pang of regret in her heart.

"It's a pity that his health isn't very good; even supersonic flight makes him feel uncomfortable."

Seemingly sensing Cynthia's gaze, Fang Yuan gritted his teeth and said...

"I really need to improve my physical abilities, otherwise, in a Pokémon world where everyone is a complete newbie, my physical abilities are really not enough!"

Fang Yuan and Cynthia each entered the Speed ​​Gym with their own thoughts.

Incidentally,

A regular Poké Ball simply cannot hold two ancient Pokémon.

Fang Yuan originally planned to first put Mewtwo through the trouble, and then see when the system shop would be upgraded, or get a Poké Ball from Professor Oak that could hold the ancient Pokémon.

However, Chao Meng decisively rejected Fang Yuan's idea.

Mewtwo has its own methods.

After helping Fang Yuan "teach" the two ancient Pokémon a lesson, Mewtwo once again demonstrated its special abilities as a legendary Pokémon.

After studying the sealing artifact that sealed Alakazam, Mewtwo actually used fragments of Gengar's and Jigglypuff's sealing artifacts to create two brand new sealing artifacts by hand.

He immediately locked Gengar and Jigglypuff back up, turning them into Fang Yuan's Dynamax power banks.

Fang Yuan and Cynthia entered the Matsuzo Dojo.

“It’s quite lively.”

Fang Yuan was somewhat surprised to see the Feisu Dojo, which was almost packed with people.

However, this situation was still no challenge for Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan's eyes glowed blue, and an invisible superpower cleared a path through the crowd.

And so Fang Yuan led Cynthia all the way to the edge of the ring.

Looking at the battle on the arena, Fang Yuan scratched his head in disbelief and said...

"Wait? Am I seeing things? Why is Ash the one dominating the opponent?"

Fang Yuan was somewhat confused for a moment.

But when Fang Yuan saw that Ash was actually commanding Pikachu to battle Raichu, Ash wasn't surprised at all.

After all, Ash's Pikachu is known as the Raichu killer!

Just then, the Team Rocket trio standing by the ring saw Fang Yuan and were so frightened that they couldn't move, as if they had seen a plague god.

"Why is this guy here?"

"Or we should run away quickly, meow."
