"Charizard has lost the ability to fight, Electivire wins!" the referee announced.
"What a wonderful game! After a fierce battle, Electivire has emerged victorious. Now Ash only has Pikachu left. Can he make a comeback?" the host commented.
"Comeback? If Ash can do it, I'll eat a ton..."
"What the heck, can this host explain it? This Pikachu just played, and its strength is just so-so, but Gary still has three Pokémon that haven't played yet."
"Yeah, Pikachu fought with Scizor in the first half, but it took a lot of time."
"Hahaha! A complete victory in the second half, I bet on the right one."
The audience didn't think Ash had a chance to turn the tables. After all, the only Pokémon Ash had left was Pikachu. Everyone had seen Pikachu's performance. It was simply a pipe dream to fight 1V5.
In the arena, Ash stood in the command area, clenched his fists, and was very unwilling to accept the result.
At the Indigo Plateau Conference, he lost to Gary once. He didn't expect to lose again this time. However, this time, Ash was not as miserable as at the Indigo Plateau Conference.
At the Indigo Plateau Conference, although Ash also defeated one of Gary's Pokémon, it was because Gary did not replace the Pokémon, and it was also because Ash used Curse to exhaust the stamina of Tyranitar.
This time, Ash fought back and forth with Gary. If it weren't for the type disadvantage, Charizard might not have lost.
"Pikachu, I'll rely on you in the end," Ash said.
"Pika!"
Pikachu nodded heavily and rushed into the venue.
Gary looked at Pikachu. At present, Ash's Pikachu only has Electric and Normal-type attack skills. It will master Iron Tail later, but that was only mastered when traveling in the Hoenn Region.
Although in the future World Championship, Ash let Pikachu use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt to directly blast Electivire, that was for the future. The current Pikachu can't do it.
"Electivire, use Dynamic Punch!" Gary ordered.
"Electivire!!"
Electivire rushed towards Pikachu quickly.
"Pikachu, attack with all your might!" Ash ordered.
"Pika!!"
Pikachu charged forward, rushing towards Electivire. Without any hesitation, Electivire punched Pikachu with a heavy punch.
Huh!!
"Pika!!"
Pikachu was light and flexible, and it was not that it could not compete with Electivire in strength. It was directly knocked into the sky.
"Body Slam!!" Gary did not give Pikachu any chance to rest.
Electivire leaped high, soon surpassing Pikachu's height, and descended with Pikachu.
"Pikachu!" Looking at Electivire above, Pikachu was helpless. Electric skills could not be used. Pikachu had no means to stay in the air and could only watch Electivire fall. If it did not run in time after landing, it would definitely be crushed by Electivire.
"Pikachu, after landing, use Quick Attack to escape," Ash shouted loudly.
Bang!!
As expected, Pikachu used Quick Attack as soon as it landed, speeding up its escape, and Electivire missed, pressing a small hole in the ground.
"Use Quick Attack to catch up," Gary ordered.
"Electivire!"
Electivire quickly caught up with Pikachu, just like a cat playing with a mouse, and easily caught up with Pikachu, directly knocking Pikachu out.
"Pika!"
Pikachu dragged its injured body and stood on the ground with difficulty, with a fierce look on its face. It had not given up yet.
"Good fighting spirit, but it ends here. One move will decide the outcome. Electivire, use Thunder Punch," Gary ordered.
"Pikachu, use a self-sacrifice attack!" Ash also immediately issued an order.
"Electivire!!"
"Pika!!"
Electivire's fists were covered with lightning. Pikachu sacrificed all its performance and used a desperate self-sacrifice attack, rushing quickly.
Electivire did not underestimate Pikachu and punched with both fists, colliding violently with it.
Bang!!!!
Pikachu's body was knocked out, and Electivire staggered back a few steps.
"Electivire!!" Electivire was also shocked. It didn't expect Pikachu to force it back. When Electivire looked at Pikachu, Pikachu had already fallen to the ground, lying on its face, motionless.
"Pikachu has lost its ability to fight, Electivire wins!" The referee announced: "All of Ash's Pokémon have lost their ability to fight, and the winner of this game is Gary."
After the words fell, the venue erupted in huge cheers.
"Great! I bet right!!"
"Mr. Gary, make your debut. I will definitely buy all the peripherals you release."
"Darn it, why can't you win all the games? I bet on all the nights."
"Darn it, why not three in a row!!!"
"Mr. Gary, I won't hold you accountable this time. This Ash is pretty good. He should be able to win the next game without any surprises."
Obviously, these viewers thought too much. Gary will win the next game, but it is unlikely that he will win completely, after all, Gary did not use too powerful Pokémon.
The main reason is that there are several very strong players in the Silver Conference, such as Ash, Harrison, and Jon, and the level of the rest of the players is similar to that of the players in the Indigo Plateau Conference.
Ash was supposed to win, but now Gary has won. The next match is Harrison, the next match is Jon, and finally the other players.
So the probability of Gary winning the next two games is very high, and those who bet on a one-out-three must be involved.
At this time, Ash has already left with Pikachu.
Gary also left the stadium and went to the Pokémon Center in the Players' Village, and handed over all the Pokémon that played today to Nurse Joy for treatment.
Then, Gary found Ash waiting in the waiting area, and Brock and Misty were also there. The key point is that Harrison was also there, because the matches were arranged according to the match table.
Harrison's match today was the first game, and he advanced. The next match is the winner of the second game.
However, Harrison was comforting Ash at the moment. The two had met on the way to Silver Town. They were acquainted once and their friendship was not deep.
Gary's footsteps naturally attracted the attention of Ash and the others.
Especially when Ash saw Gary, he looked like he wanted to speak but couldn't. It was so funny.
"Ash, although you lost it to me, I have to say that you have made great progress, much better than in the Indigo Plateau Conference," Gary comforted.
"Are you comforting Ash?" Misty asked with a puzzled look.
