Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 930 Ash's Counter Punch Shield

At the Pokémon Center in Jinhui City, Ash brought his three Pokémon to the training area outside after lunch.

On the other side, Pipa and Nemo also began their attempt at fighting.

The three little ones observed and waited for Xiao Zhi's instruction.

"Ahem~" Ash coughed twice, and only spoke after Riko and the others had their attention turned to him.

"So, tomorrow is Mr. Aoki's test. Have you collected the data yet?"

Both Little Dot and Rico have an academic-style playstyle, so data collection is very useful.

Although Aoki carries his bag around "running around doing business" every day, even though he's just a nobody office worker, it can't hide the fact that he's one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Padia.

Therefore, as long as you are willing, you will definitely be able to collect enough information.

"Based on battle videos and tactical deductions, Mr. Aoki usually uses these two Pokémon to evaluate newcomers."

"Earth Dragon Fist and M'K Eagle!" Little Dot said seriously, taking out his phone.

“It’s a normal type,” Riko nodded in judgment.

"Actually, Mr. Aoki has many Flying-type Pokémon, but officially, he is one of the Normal-type Elite Four," Little Point explained.

"That sounds like a complicated attribute." Roy scratched his head; he preferred to just get things done...

"To test the application of crystallization, the gym leaders of the academy select Pokémon based on the types that your Pokémon are not good at."

Therefore, figuring out how to use crystallization to reverse the tide of battle is a crucial step. "Xiao Zhi said calmly.

"So, Little one, what kind of elemental crystal do you think we should prepare?"

“Usually, people would definitely choose fighting games!” Roy blurted out.

“Not necessarily. Fighting is countered by flying, and Mr. Aoki’s second best skill is flying,” Riko said, drawing inferences from this example.

“Ghosts are immune to Normal-type skills, but their damage isn’t enough.” Little Dot frowned in thought.

"You're overthinking it!" Ash suddenly shouted.

"Teacher?" The three little ones looked up in confusion.

"Attributes are only part of winning a battle. How to use the Crystal Beads to fight your own battle is the most important thing."

"Think about the problem from a tactical perspective, not a technical one," Xiao Zhi continued to guide.

"First is Earth Dragon's Fluttershy, which has the hidden ability Fright. So you have to avoid Ghost, Dark, and Bug-type attacks that could speed up your opponent."

"Therefore, we should strategically abandon the Ghost-type Crystal!" Little Dot immediately thought of this.

"That's right. Secondly, Fighting-type is very effective, but Normal-type, except for Ghost-type, cannot be damaged by it. All other types have the same effect."

"So instead of forcing yourself to make choices that aren't right for you, it's better to strengthen your strengths," Xiao Zhi continued with a smile.

"I get it!!" Little Dot's eyes lit up. Since all attributes have the same damage multiplier, why not use the attribute you're best at to try your luck?

“Very good, then let’s move on to the details. Mr. Aoki’s Earth Dragon Joints are best known for using the paralyzing effect of the giant snake’s glare to control the field.”

Constantly avoiding eye contact will cause you to lose the initiative.

So what you need is an offensive technique that combines offense and defense.” Ash had a nostalgic smile on his lips.

"Is there such a technique?" Roy was the first to get restless.

"Of course, all three of you can learn it. As for how to apply it, that's up to you." Xiao Zhi's eyes flashed, and his tone was low: "This technique is... Counter Punch Shield."

"A counter-punch shield?" The three little ones looked completely bewildered.

"That's right, it's an offensive and defensive technique I created myself, specifically designed to counter moves like Hypnosis and Snake's Gaze." Ash nodded.

"I want to learn!" Roy exclaimed in surprise.

"We want to learn too!" Science and Little Dot looked at Little Zhi expectantly.

"What are you learning?" Nemo's voice came from behind. She had just given Pipa a sound beating, losing 1 to 3, and was in a good mood.

"Our teacher is going to teach us a unique skill!" Roy immediately boasted.

"Hey~ Can I learn?" Nemo looked at Ash with longing.

“Sure, we just happen to need a demonstration opponent.” Ash nodded. “Then, Nemo, you’ll have to do the work again.”

“Alright, I’ve been wanting to challenge you again for a long time,” Nemo replied with a determined look in her eyes.

"Alright, then Pipa, you and Riko can watch from the sidelines." Ash put his hands in his pockets and walked to one side of the field.

"Come on, come on, I can't wait any longer!" Nemo waved her arms excitedly.

"Go, mane rock werewolf!" Nemo unleashed her newly trained ace.

Daytime form of the Mane Rock Lycan.

"Since Little Point started first, then Carnival Duck, you're the one!" Ash released the Poké Ball from his hand.

"Cool!" With a cool dance move, the Carnival Wave Duck appeared in the center of the arena.

"Come on~" Ash beckoned to Nemo with his finger.

"I won't hold back!" Nemo clenched her fist: "Lycopter, High Speed ​​Star!!"

Nemo is quite sensible; she comes up with a skill that can't be dodged normally right away!

"Carnival Wave Duck, spin around and use Water Burst!"

"Cool!" With an elegant one-legged spin, the Carnival Wave Duck instantly began to spin like a small top.

With high-speed rotation, the sharp edges of the water flow transformed into a tornado, continuously radiating azure water blades in all directions.

Bang!! The high-speed star collided with the water flow and was instantly swallowed up.

"Wow, that's amazing! In that case, Thunder Fang!" Nemo continued to charge upwards.

"Awooo!!" The mane of the Lycanroc crackled with lightning as it pounced on the Carnival Dance Duck, its menacing lightning fangs opening and closing in mid-air!

Ash smiled slightly: "Flowing Water Waltz!"

Whoosh! A waterspout began to move across the field, accompanied by the spinning and leaping of the frenzied dancing ducks.

Bang!! Before the Thunder Fang of the Lycanroc could even land, its entire body was being torn apart by the guild's water currents.

Boom!! As he finally landed, what awaited him was a frenzied, dancing wave of water, sharpening its knives.

Whew! A single strike pierced the soul, and the mane rock werewolf instantly fainted.

"So dirty... such an unsolvable strategy," Piper couldn't help but complain.

With offense and defense combined, how can we possibly fight against that?!

"Just use brute force to overcome skill; I'll teach you that later." Ash retracted his Carnival Duck, put his hands in his pockets, and concealed his accomplishment.

"You just need to learn this move first."

"Teacher, that last move..." Little Dot asked uncertainly, "Was it a combination skill?"

"That's right, it's a combination of Water Spin and Water Slash. This is an advanced version; see if you can learn it yourself," Ash confirmed.

A scientific spirit shone in Xiaodian's eyes: "I understand, I will work hard!"

"Oh, by the way, about Flying-type Pokémon—Little Pikachu, you can think about it yourself." With that, Ash took Pikachu back to his room.

The food is already being fed to them; how they eat it is up to them.

"Okay, let's train!" Dian Dian shouted expectantly.

“We’ll go with you!” Rico and Roy nodded.

Watching the three little ones huddled together studying the scene, Nemo and Pipa exchanged nostalgic glances, thinking how youthful it all was.

Once upon a time, there was a friend who was just like her, and she was just as close to Papanimo.

"I wonder what she's been up to lately~" Nemo took out her phone, which showed Peony's contact information.
