I caught a Pokémon

Even Nurse Joy couldn't allow herself to miss such a great battle, so after handing over the Pokémon Center to her Chansey, she came along as well.

The road, which wasn't too far, passed by in a flash.

Once the group entered the Battle Pyramid, they immediately saw Shindai and his assistant, Kanatarou, waiting for them in the center of the hall.

Xia You was the first to greet him: "Mr. Kamishiro, we meet again."

Kamishiro nodded, his gaze sweeping over the group of people.

"I didn't expect you two to know each other."

"Hehe." Xiao Zhi chuckled, "Xia You and I have known each other for a very, very long time and have been traveling together ever since!"

Kamishiro was clearly not the type to reminisce or chat idly with them. Without beating around the bush, he went straight to the point: "Which of you two wants to go first?"

Xia You and Xiao Zhi exchanged a glance, and seeing the obvious interest in Xiao Zhi's eyes, Xia You gave a direct signal.

"Then you can go first."

"it is good!"

Ash didn't stand on ceremony and took the first step, standing opposite Age of Gods.

"Mr. Kamishiro, I will challenge you!"

Despite Ash stepping forward first, Shinji still didn't say anything, or rather, he hoped to save the battle with Xia You for last.

Seeing that Kamishiro tacitly agreed, his assistant, Sotaro, quickly walked a few steps to the side of the battlefield.

Seeing this, apart from Xiao Zhi, Xia You and the others quickly moved to the edge of the arena and became spectators, leaving the entire arena to them.

Clearing his throat, Sotaro announced loudly, "Now, let's begin the battle of the Pyramid's pioneering spirit! First up, the challenger is Ash from Pallet Town! Next up is my master, a passionate man, to battle the pioneering mind of the Pyramid—Pyramid Pharaoh Age!"

After introducing both sides, Sotaro continued, "This match will be a one-on-one battle. So, please let the Brain of the Frontier send out their Pokémon first!"

It's clear that, while Kantairo's style is somewhat unconventional, he remains quite capable, which allowed the match to proceed smoothly without any delays, directly into the preparation phase.

At the same time, Shinjiro also took out a Poké Ball and released his Pokémon to participate in the battle.

"Come out, Registeel!"

With a flash of blue light, a peculiar Pokémon nearly 2 meters tall, resembling a metal golem, appeared before people's eyes.

Looking at this Pokémon, Xiaoyao, Xiaoshun, Xiaogang, and Nurse Joy, who were standing next to Xia You, all subconsciously widened their eyes.

"Is this Registeel?" Miss Joy exclaimed excitedly. "This is the first time I've ever seen it in person!"

Xia You also began to examine this legendary Pokémon.

In terms of appearance, Registeel does indeed resemble a golem.

Its upper body is gray and spherical with black stripes. Its face has a hexagonal pattern composed of seven red dots. Each black arm has three fingers, and its legs are cylindrical. It doesn't look like a living organism, but rather like a technological product.

Out of curiosity as well, May also took out her Pokédex and pointed it at it.

Feedback on the Pokédex came in very quickly.

"Beep, Registeel, Black Gold Pokémon, Steel-type, a legendary Steel-type Pokémon, one of the legendary giants. It is said that Registeel was originally born in the mantle and appeared on the surface about 1 years ago. It was a Pokémon that was sealed away in the past. After being tempered by underground pressure for tens of thousands of years, it has a body that is harder than any metal and has become invulnerable to blades and spears. Although it also has the flexibility to stretch and shrink, it is actually made of a mysterious substance that is stronger than any metal. Therefore, people believe that the metal that makes up its body is a substance that does not exist on this planet."

Chapter 905 My Turn!

The Pokédex isn't complete, but it at least gives May and her friends a general understanding of these legendary Pokémon, so they're not completely clueless.

Immediately, everyone's attention turned to Ash, wondering which Pokémon he would use to face Registeel.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ash solemnly took out his Poké Ball.

As he opened the Poké Ball, his Torkoal appeared on the battlefield the next second.

As they watched this Pokémon, the people in the audience had different thoughts.

Well, this choice isn't necessarily bad.

After all, the Fire-type Torkoal has a certain type advantage when facing the Steel-type Registeel.

only……

Looking at this Pokémon, Xia You knew that Ash's challenge would likely end in failure.

After all, everyone probably knows Torkoal's strength; among Ash's Pokémon, it's not only not outstanding, but...

Even with a type advantage, it's not a very optimistic situation to have a Pokémon like this against a Registeel.

Moreover, Ash has a long-standing tradition of losing when playing with a type advantage.

Looking at it this way...

But in any case, this was Ash's choice, and he must have his own plans.

Under the tense gaze of the crowd, Ash's second battle against the Pyramid Challenge finally began.

Right from the start, he commanded the Coalossal to attack using Flamethrower.

It has to be said that Torkoal has participated in many battles, big and small. Although its win rate is not high, its experience is definitely enough. This makes its flames fast and accurate. In the blink of an eye, they have formed in its mouth and accurately sprayed onto Registeel.

Of course, it could also be said that, given Registeel's slow speed, Shinji probably never intended for it to dodge!

Regardless, the flamethrower did damage Registeel, and it seemed to work quite well!

However, Torkoal was immediately met with a counterattack from Registeel.

Registeel raised its right claw, its sharp edge gleaming, and strode toward Torkoal.

Perhaps it was because of its weight that Regischiru's every step seemed to make the whole place tremble, giving it a powerful presence.

Faced with such an attack, Ash naturally wouldn't sit idly by. Under his command, when Registeel arrived close, Torkoal leaped high, not only escaping the metal claw attack but also taking advantage of the opportunity to use Body Slam.

The Coal Tortoise is only half a meter tall and weighs just over 100 kilograms, but despite its small size, it was like a huge rock that crashed down on Registeel under the weight of Mount Tai!

"Great!"

Seeing Regischiru's massive body fall to the ground due to the attack, Kakeru and the others instinctively cheered!

Is this still the same Coal Tortoise they know?!

No one expected that Ash would succeed twice in a row before the battle had even begun!

If things continue to develop this way, there might actually be a chance to win this battle!

Even Xia You was happy with Xiao Zhi's performance. You see, Xiao Zhi was completely different from usual at this time. He did not show any recklessness. On the contrary, he seemed to be very calm. In this state, he could indeed exert stronger strength!

but……

Turning her head, Xia You glanced at Shindai, whose expression remained calm, and still felt a pang of worry for Ash.

The opponent still hasn't gone all out...

The battle continues on the field.

Although Registeel fell to the ground, it quickly got back up and immediately condensed an electromagnetic cannon to retaliate. Almost the next second, a powerful ball of lightning formed in its hand and was fired at Coal Turtle.

Xiao Zhi remained calm and composed.

Under his command, the Coal Turtle once again unleashed a jet of flame, intercepting the electromagnetic cannon in mid-air.

This also shows that Ash really put in a lot of hard work for this battle!

The two moves collided, causing a violent explosion. The smoke from the explosion enveloped the center of the arena, temporarily obscuring their vision.

Xiao Sheng and the others were happy about the advantage that Torkoal had gained, but just then, Torkoal was suddenly locked onto by a red light, and at the same time, Registeel on the other side of the smoke used the Electro Giant once again.

Upon seeing the red light, Xiao Sheng immediately frowned.

"Oh no, it's locked!"

After saying that, seeing that Xia You and Xiao Yao were a little confused, he quickly explained, "When we first went to challenge the Battle Pyramid, Regirock used this move to lock on, which prevented Ash's Sceptile from dodging the Hyper Beam, and thus it was defeated!"

Xia You nodded knowingly.

He naturally knew about the Lock-On move. As a Normal-type move, it doesn't deal damage itself, but it marks the target, giving the Pokémon's next move a tracking ability, thus ensuring a guaranteed hit.

It can be said that with its powerful moves, most Pokémon can't dodge or block it, and there's really no way to deal with it!

Now, let's see how Ash breaks this deadlock when he faces it again.

And the answer will be revealed soon.

The coal turtle first used Iron Wall, then suddenly retracted its body into its shell, leaving only the shell sticking out. It can be said that it took its defense to the extreme!

Seeing this, the group finally understood why Ash had sent Torkoal to fight this battle.

So this is what we've been waiting for!

It seems that he had already planned to use the tortoise shell to evade the pursuit of the gods long before the war began!

From this perspective, planning before acting is really not something that Xiao Zhineng would do!

Just then, the electromagnetic cannon arrived at high speed and struck the turtle's shell precisely. In the explosion, the coal turtle's entire body was launched into the air and flew into the air.

The group's gazes immediately followed.

It was clear that the attack was quite heavy, but Torkoal managed to block it with its Iron Wall and Shell Dive defensive moves. However, the Electro Cannon was an Electric-type move, and although it didn't cause any damage, it unfortunately caused Torkoal to become paralyzed!

The coal turtle was crackling with electricity. After landing, it emerged from its shell with a pained expression, but fortunately, apart from being paralyzed, it was not injured.

However, overall, paralysis still carries significant risks, especially in this kind of battle, making the situation less optimistic than it seems.

Seeing the Torkoal entangled in electricity, Ash gritted his teeth and gave the command again.

This time, Torkoal tried the same trick again, attempting to use its Mount Slam attack. However, just as it jumped and fell, Registeel blocked it with its claws and firmly held Torkoal in its claws.

It can only be said that he was too presumptuous this time.

Putting aside whether the paralysis effect would have any effect on Torkoal, the fact that it had already been used once already makes it unlikely that Age of Gods would let it succeed again. Moreover, without any cover or opportunity, using Mount Slam directly like that would be a miracle if it even hit!

However, Xiao Zhi quickly showed everyone what it means to make good use of the situation!

After catching Torkoal, Registeel was also infected by the electric current on Torkoal's body through the transmission of the electric current through his arm, and he was also temporarily paralyzed!

However, the paralysis was very weak for Registeel, and it recovered immediately, throwing Torkoal away!

Meanwhile, Torkoal, having been transferred, also alleviated its paralysis. The moment it hit the wall, it regained its mobility. Using the force of being thrown, it lightly tapped the wall and propelled itself into the air, where it once again unleashed a powerful attack on Registeel!

Caught off guard, Regischiru was hit again and knocked to the ground once more.

This finally moved Shinji and made him take Ash seriously.

"Well done! Young man, use this momentum to unleash all the power you have!"

It's easy to tell from Shinji's words that he now highly approves of Ash and greatly admires Ash's spirit, which is quite rare for someone like him.

Unfortunately, Ash didn't have time to deal with him right now, as he was directing Torkoal to launch another attack.

This time, it used hot air!

It has to be said that Torkoal has really grown a lot. You know, Heat Wave is a pretty powerful move among Fire-type moves, and it's one that Torkoal hadn't mastered before. The fact that it can use it smoothly now shows that both Ash and Torkoal have made ample preparations for this challenge.

It's unrealistic to think you can defeat a legendary Pokémon with just this.

The hot wind, like a large cloud of steam mixed with blazing flames, blew onto Regischiru.

Fire overcomes steel, and this attack caused considerable damage.

But before Ash could even be happy, the next second, as Registeel clasped its arms together and then suddenly opened them, all the hot air that had been enveloping Registeel was blown away!

At that very moment, the seven red dots on Registeel's face, which resembled its eyes, suddenly burst forth with intense light!

Registeel, this legendary Pokémon, is starting to really unleash its power!

Faced with Torkoal's renewed fire attack, Registeel used Sandstorm to continuously disperse the flames, and with immense power, it rapidly approached Torkoal!

At the same time, Kamishiro laughed: "Taking all of your opponent's moves and then launching a counterattack to turn the tide is one of the great joys of battle!"

Just as he finished speaking, the Sand Tornado, still wreathed in flames, enveloped the Coal Turtle.

It was at this moment that, after hearing what Shindai said, Xiaosheng and the others suddenly realized what was going on.

So that's what Kamishiro was thinking!

According to what he said, he first tested the strength of the Coal Turtle to gauge its true power before unleashing his real abilities!

That's quite a boast, and it takes immense confidence in one's Pokémon to do something like that.

However, the Gods certainly have the ability to do so, after all, they are now fighting against the legendary Titans!

After being caught in the Sand Scroll, people lost track of Torkoal, which made Ash extremely worried. Especially when Registeel also entered the Sand Scroll, Ash cried out anxiously.
