For example, the last game just ended, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will be Ash's Lily in the next Rival.
He stared at the scene on the field with a serious look.
She has now begun to think about how to deal with the next Pikachu.
As soon as Ash's Pikachu showed off one move, it brought tremendous psychological pressure to the many Trainers present.
The electrical-type special moves are all very powerful.
But the power displayed by this Pikachu is definitely far beyond the Normal level!!
"No wonder Ash always keeps me by his side…
At this time, Ritchie, who was under the most pressure on the field, took Butterfree away.
"This kind of lightning power is much stronger than my Rain..."
He himself has a Pikachu, so he knows how terrifying this Pikachu is to have such power.
But, he will never give up!!
"No matter how powerful you are, I will never admit defeat!!"
"Go, Jibo!!"
He threw another Pokémon ball.
"Huo Cha~!"
Charmander, one of his three most iconic and classic Pokémon, makes his debut.
"It's still Charmander after all~"
Ash was not surprised at all, he just continued to call out to Pikachu and give it orders.
"Use Thunder!"
"Pikachu!!"
At this moment in the arena, Pikachu seemed to be controlling the lightning.
After Ash gave the order, Soaring in the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.
Then, before the Charmander had time to use any of its moves.
Under the shocked gazes of the audience, the thunders from Soaring in the sky began to fall one after another.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunder Shocks struck the field below, and Charmander immediately fled in all directions.
"Yoshinami?!"
Ritchie opened his mouth, trying to find a way to dodge.
but...
Boom~Crack!!
Looking at the thunder that was striking down, Ritchie could only smile bitterly and could not utter any words.
Such a situation and such power cannot be overcome simply by avoiding it.
"Unless you have a move like [Protect] that can defend against attacks, you will fall to this Thunder sooner or later."
"Moreover, even if it's [Protect], it can only hold out for a while. If the subsequent Thunder attacks continue, [Protect] won't be able to hold out either... "
All the Trainers in the audience were thinking silently.
They looked up at Soaring in the sky, and then looked at the Pickup Maker on the battlefield...
This is completely different from the Thunder's special move they remembered.
boom!!
When a bolt of lightning from Soaring in the sky accurately hit the Charmander who was dodging in panic on the field.
"Huo Cha~!!"
With a scream, the entire fire dragon was blown away in an instant.
Plop.
Charmander rolled over on the ground several times before falling to the ground and unable to get up.
"Xt..."
Spiral circles came out of its eyes and black air came out of its mouth as it opened and closed.
"Charmander loses his ability to fight, Pikachu wins!!"
The referee raised the flag and announced it at the right time.
"Oh, what an amazing thunderbolt, what an amazing Thunder trick, what an amazing Pikachu!!"
The commentator used the word "amazing" three times in a row, and his tone was equally amazing.
"I didn't expect that after entering the fifth round, Ash would no longer hide his abilities."
"They brought out such a powerful Pikachu!!"
"I believe that many viewers who have watched Ash's games know that this Pikachu has always been by Ash's side."
"Everyone is guessing and looking forward to what kind of strength this Pikachu will have."
"But what really surprised us was that it actually performed so well!!"
"From a performance perspective, its strength is even more dazzling than the previous Kingler, Wartortle, and Gyarados!!"
The commentator did not hesitate to praise the audience, and he said it without hesitation:
"Now, Ash has shown us with his strength and performance that he has such a powerful Pikachu."
"He has to be extremely careful in his next match, Rival!!"
Well, even the commentator has basically acquiesced that the final result of this game will be Ash's victory.
Even other people didn't have any opinions.
This is a fact that has already been laid out in the open.
With Pikachu being so powerful, unless Ritchie can come up with a more powerful Pokémon.
Otherwise, there is no possibility of winning.
According to the information other Trainers learned about Ritchie, they also knew...
"His last Pokémon seems to be..."
On the battlefield.
"I didn't expect that in the end, I still have to ask you for help."
Ritchie silently took Charmander back.
At this moment, after witnessing Pikachu's Thunder move, he has completely realized the gap in strength between the two sides.
"Next, you just need to do your best and don't have too much pressure."
Knowing that he had no chance of winning, Ritchie let go of everything with relief.
"Go ahead, Ryan!!"
Now that he has let go of things, even his tone of voice has become calmer.
"Let them see your determination and will!!"
"Pika~!"
BANG!
A white light flashed, and the Pikachu with a tuft of forehead hair appeared in the venue.
"Oh?! I didn't expect Ritchie's third Pokémon to be Pikachu too?!"
"Could it be that his Pikachu is as powerful as Ash's Pikachu?!!"
The commentator said this loudly on purpose.
He already knew Ritchie's three Pokémon sets.
But there are definitely things that the audience at the scene don't know, so he uses this method to create suspense and heighten the atmosphere.
It's no wonder that some viewers who didn't know the truth of the matter began to look forward to it.
Other Trainers: "..."
If any Pikachu pops up, it will have the same strength as Ash's Pikachu.
They had already captured one each.
And it turns out that there is only one Pikachu as powerful as this one.
"Ryan, use Quick Attack!!"
"Pikachu, let's use Quick Attack too!!"
Both of them ordered together.
The two Pikachu that also belonged to the Electric Type gave up on using lightning moves.
Instead, it is a confrontation that relies purely on physical fitness.
Ritchie understood clearly that if it only depended on the power of lightning, his Pikachu would not be able to win no matter what.
On the contrary, if I compete by relying on my physical strength, maybe I can save a few points.
What a pity~
Bang!!
Two Pikachu with Quick Attack and fast-moving white light behind them suddenly collided with each other.
But there was only one Pikachu, and it was knocked away directly.
"Pika~"
The Pikachu with hair on its forehead rolled on the ground for several times before finally coming to a stop.
"You okay, huh?!"
Ritchie said worriedly from behind as the Pikachu in front of him stood up with difficulty.
"..."
He closed one eye tightly, but pretended to be energetic and shouted.
It really felt a bit overwhelmed by the tackle just now.
"Even the physical strength is so fishy?"
Ritchie looked at the Pikachu opposite him, who was standing there quietly as if nothing had happened.
I couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Even though he knew he was doomed to fail, he couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw Ash's Pikachu.
In fact, if it weren't for the wrong occasion, the relationship between the two parties would be very unfamiliar.
Ritchie wanted to ask Ash, somewhat offensively, how did his Pikachu become a breeder?!
How is Breeder's...
Ash said that just give it more ketchup.
Are you kidding? This is Pikachu!!
Pikachu is the one who can even hurt the God of Creation Arceus and make him feel pain.
"Pikachu, use the final Iron Tail!"
Ash didn't want to delay any longer.
"Ryan, we use Oreburgh tails too!!"
Knowing that this was the last chance, Ritchie gave the order decisively.
"Pika~~~Qiu!!"
The two electric-shaped tails all had an Oreburgh-like silver luster.
The two Pikachu jumped up at the same time, turned their backs, and swung their Oreburgh-like tails towards each other.
Bang!!!
The hard tackle sound makes people feel the powerful force.
However, when this level of force is unleashed, only one side can win in the end.
And it is the one with the least suspense.
Boom!!
Maynard's tail power is obviously inferior to that of the other Pikachu.
After a slight struggle, it bounced away.
Then he watched helplessly as the opponent's Oreburgh tail hit him hard.
There was a dull sound.
Then~
Plop.
The body fell rapidly and finally landed on the Ground.
"...."
Ryan Pikachu was sprawled on the Ground.
The tuft of hair on his forehead was swaying slightly in the wind and smoke.
This battle between Pikachu, there is no doubt
"Pikachu loses the ability to fight, Pikachu wins..."
The referee made a slightly strange decision, and then raised a flag in Ash's direction:
"So the winner of this game is Ash from Pallet Town!!"
Crash~!
The audience burst into cheers again.
Ash once again relied on a single Pokémon to defeat Rival very easily.
His record of powerful Keanu's brilliant achievements continues.
As for the commentator, he was also there constantly spitting saliva and telling Ash's words of victory.
He is basically a die-hard supporter of Ash now.
"Great, Ash wins again!"
"Yeah, he did it again!!"
Misty and Xiaogang were watching there and were equally happy for Ash.
However, their happiness was no longer as high as it was at the beginning.
Even now, Ash's victory seemed natural to them.
Ash had been winning for so long that both of them had gotten used to it.
And it seems that since they met Ash, whether it is the battle between Pokémon or some other
of events and competitions.
Ash seems to have never lost since he participated!!
He has no experience of failure!!
What we have is just success and victory again and again.
This is basically impossible to happen to a Normal Trainer.
But it happened to Ash, time and time again.
", "This way, I will advance to the next round."
After the game, take a break and leave.
Ash also said with a smile after he met Misty and Xiaogang.
"I am considered a top eight player."
"The top eight is just your current status~~"
Misty had already started to tease him: "After a few days, your grades will improve again."
"That's right! Congratulations, Ash."
Xiao Gang nodded in agreement, congratulated, and then looked at the Pikachu on Ash's shoulder:
"And Pikachu is also very good at fighting!!"
"Pika Pika!!"
Pikachu also smiled brightly as if he got ketchup.
"Um, sorry..."
Just then, a questioning voice came from behind Ash.
"I'm sorry to bother you."
When they turned around, they saw Ritchie, the player they had just played against, walking up to them.
"This Pikachu of yours is really amazing..."
Ritchie said sincerely: "I accept defeat wholeheartedly."
"No, you performed very well."
The other party was so polite, Ash was also very polite.
"No, no, no, compared to you, I am really far behind...
Ritchie waved his hands repeatedly, "I still have a long way to go in terms of being a Trainer."
He said sincerely and seriously:
"Ash, you will be the one I chase after on this Trainer's path!"
"When we meet again next time, I will definitely be even more powerful than I am now!!"
"I look forward to the time when we meet again in the future!!"
After leaving these words, Ritchie walked out of the stadium with full confidence and expectation for tomorrow.
It seemed that he did not feel any loneliness or sadness of failure.
"This is the mentality that a real Trainer should have."
Xiao Gang looked at Ritchie's performance and sighed:
"Always keep moving forward, no matter what the road ahead will be like."
"They all hold such a serious and determined heart to continue exploring and pursuing~~~"
This is how a Pokémon Trainer should behave when facing an adventurous journey!
"Aren't we the same?"
Misty also expressed her feelings:
"After this Indigo Plateau Conference is over, you won't just take the trophy and stay home forever, will you?"
She raised it like Solaceon.
"Of course not."
Ash smiled and said, "Kanto Region is just a starting point for me.
Under Misty's expectant and delighted gaze, Ash whispered:
"I've only just begun my journey [but it doesn't end here]."
"I want to be the world's number one Pokémon Trainer. A Kanto Region is clearly not enough."
"There are also the Orange Islands, Johto Region, Hoenn Region, Sinnoh Region, Unova Region…"
"There are many different places and Pokémon waiting for me to go there and have adventures.
"My journey has just begun."
Ash didn't know much about the subsequent games.
In addition to Paul and Gary's game, he watched twice more.
Because he knew that his rival in the next round would be Lily.
Her strength is similar to Ritchie's, and she only has one Ivysaur.
Unfortunately, Ash also happened to have an Ivysaur in his hand.
She doesn't need to care or pay too much attention.
If nothing unexpected happens, after defeating Lily in the quarterfinals, the next team will face the winner of the second half of the upper half.
Among them, Paul should be the best.
There is a high possibility that he will become Ash's Rival in the semi-finals.
And judging by his performance in the fifth round of the 16-to-8 match, this is indeed the case.
"Paul from Veilstone City in Sinnoh Region is as strong as ever."
The commentator also shouted passionately: "He showed us what Trainer's wisdom and design are with his excellent tactics!!"
"And his Pokémon lived up to expectations, perfectly following Paul's instructions and putting on a wonderful, commendable performance!!"
"Let us once again congratulate Paul for winning the fifth round and entering the next sixth round of Full Battle!!".
