Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master.

Chapter 166 Stupid Gyarados

Chapter 166 Stupid Gyarados

"Ash has proven his strength by defeating Brock's three Pokémon. The match is now in halftime."

Will Chief Xiaoyong suffer his first defeat?

This is Xiao Yong's home turf in the Orange Islands, and the audience is enthusiastically cheering for their star player.

Of course, they also acknowledge Ash's strength; a powerful trainer will earn respect anywhere.

Although they didn't want their team's top player to lose, they didn't resort to insulting their opponents.

"Everyone's manners seem a bit too high."

"Come back, Milotic, you did a great job!" Ash recalled his Pokémon and went to the rest area where Misty was.

The rules of the game are that if any three Pokémon on either side are unable to battle, there will be a 15-minute break, and the battle location will be changed randomly.

"That's great, Xiaozhi." Xiaoxia brought him water and a towel.

"This is a huge advantage!"

Having already taken the lead with three Pokémon, Ash only needs to play steadily and surely to secure victory.

"We can't let our guard down. Xiao Yong must still have some trump cards up his sleeve."

The fact that someone can remain the top player for so long without ever losing a match definitely means they have some serious skills.

Even though Xiao Yong on the other side had already lost three games, he wasn't flustered at all. He just squinted and rubbed his Poké Ball necklace.

When he saw Ash looking at him, he immediately smiled and waved in response, demonstrating his excellent composure.

The halftime break ended quickly, and they returned to the battlefield.

The second half of the match changed to a sand field, but unfortunately, the two layers of diamonds that the Greatsword Demon had laid earlier were gone.

At the referee's signal, Ash and Brock threw their Poké Balls together.

"Go, Venusaur!"

"I choose you, Gyarados!"

Two enormous creatures suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

Xiao Yong's Venusaur has many brown spots on its body, and its four legs are firmly embedded in the sand like four thick pillars.

Ash's Gyarados made a much more stunning appearance, its huge golden body shining brightly in the sun.

At this moment, the commentator finally returned.

"Welcome back to the Winners' Cup Challenge!"

"Our chief, Xiao Yong, sent out Venusaur first in the second half. Its ever-changing moves and powerful Vine Whip have always been a nightmare for its opponents."

"And Ash's Pokémon are always so rare and unusual. This enormous Gyarados, which looks like it's made of gold, is truly breathtaking!"

Some audience members have already started discussing whether Ash's Gyarados is actually made of real gold.

Ash also hoped it was like that, but unfortunately it only resembled it in color.

"Venusaur, use Sunny Day!" This time, Brock took the initiative.

A small "light source" rose from the center of the large petals on Venusaur's back, instantly making the sunlight on the battlefield incredibly intense.

"Sunny day—In that case, Gyarados, use Flamethrower!"

Fire-type moves are more powerful on sunny days, while water-type moves are less powerful.

It's important to know that Gyarados can learn Flamethrower and Fire Blast, which actually puts Venusaur at a greater disadvantage.

Although Xiaozhi was unaware of Xiaoyong's actions.

However, with the help of a sunny day, Gyarados's Flamethrower, although not a STAB move, is still significantly amplified in power.

"Venusaur, get out of the way!"

After the sunny day, Venusaur's speed seemed to have increased dramatically.

Despite its enormous size, it moved incredibly fast on the soft sand, easily dodging the flames.

"Chlorophyll properties?" No wonder Xiaoyong had Venusaur use Sunny Day as soon as it appeared.

Pokémon with the Chlorophyll ability will have their Speed ​​increased to twice its normal value in battles under bright sunlight or strong sunlight.

"Oh, you recognized me? I never knew you were so knowledgeable, Ash."

Xiao Yong thought Xiao Zhi was the kind of hot-blooded trainer who only knew how to rush around, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhi to have such a wide range of knowledge.

The reason for the embarrassed smile is that whenever Misty can't stand it anymore, she uses knowledge of Pokémon battles to distract Ash.

So, with the help of the world's most beautiful girl, Xiaozhi learned a lot of knowledge.

"Since they've sped up, we'll speed up too!"

The opponent was too fast, making it difficult for Gyarados's attacks to hit, so Ash immediately gave the order.

"Gyarados uses Dragon Dance!"

"Venusaur, Solar Beam!"

"Flower, flower!"

As soon as Gyarados started to move, Venusaur's energy was fully charged, and Solar Beam was launched as if it were an instantaneous attack.

Boom!

The massive explosion abruptly interrupted Gyarados's Dragon Dance.

"Now, Venusaur, use Sweet Scent!" Brock shouted to Ash.

"From now on, I'm going to fight back, Ash!"

A sweet scent immediately emanated from the large flower on Venusaur's back, drifting towards Gyarados.

"~?"

"!"

The fool was so engrossed in the fragrance that he immediately forgot about the attack he had just suffered.

It even tried to stick its head over and get closer to Venusaur's back to smell it.

"You idiot, you're still fighting? Keep using Flamethrower."

Although Ash's Gyarados wasn't very bright, it finally reacted after Ash called out to it.

It continued to open its blood-red maw and unleash flames.

"Use the vine whip to toss the sand from the ground into the opponent's eyes, then use Solar Beam again!"

Venusaur moved very quickly, its Vine Whip whipping up two piles of sand from the ground and scattering them into Gyarados's eyes.

The rain dragon immediately began to wriggle around in discomfort, and since it was in a sandy area with no water to wash its eyes, it was in great pain.

Just then, Venusaur's Sunfire will strike.

"Gyarados, calm down and follow my commands!"

Ash's voice always brings peace to Gyarados.

Gyarados knows it's not very bright, but because of that, it understands that all it needs to do is wholeheartedly obey its trainer's commands without overthinking.

"Use the large-scale blast straight ahead!"

Instantly, the powerful flame energy and the intense sunlight on the field collided, triggering another massive explosion.

"Bulbasaur's Leech Seed!"

A seed carrying vines shot out from the smoke of the explosion and accurately wrapped around Gyarados.

"~"

The vines instantly glowed red, and Gyarados's stamina was gradually absorbed by them.

"While Venusaur is using the sleep-inducing powder now."

That Gyarados was not only large in size but also had strong defense; it was incredibly tanky and could withstand two Solar Beams without any problems.

With no other option, Xiao Yong had to resort to these underhanded tactics. The sweet scent he used earlier was also to reduce Gyarados's evasion at this moment.

However, Ash wouldn't just sit idly by and wait to die.

"Gyarados, use Hurricane at close range to blow away the Sleep Powder!"

This is the only Flying-type move that Gyarados, being a Water/Flying-type, can learn.

A gust of wind immediately rose around Gyarados, forming a tornado-like column of wind centered on its body.

The hypnotic powder, along with the Leech Seed, was blown far away. Even when the Leech Seed was forcibly pulled out, Gyarados still suffered damage.

"You can use storms like this?" Xiao Yong looked at the scene before him in surprise.

Generally speaking, it's not possible, but although it makes Ash's Gyarados look stupid, oh, I shouldn't call it "sacred as ever".

Because of their simple minds, their use of skills is also very pure, and they have extremely strong control.

However, the storm also caused considerable damage to Venusaur.

It was actually swept from the sand towards Gyarados's location by a storm.

This is also thanks to the fact that the Sand Terrain cannot provide Venusaur with enough grip.

"Perfect opportunity! Gyarados, use Ice Fang on your lower left side!"

"Venusaur, Solar Beam!"

Gyarados's gaping maw gleamed with fangs as it bit down, instantly striking Venusaur in the waist.

"Hua Yiyi!"

The Gyarados tore at its body several times before finally slamming it onto the sand.

It's probably because the sand here is softer, so the damage from being thrown around is not as high as on a rocky surface.

Venusaur mustered its last strength and used Solar Beam to splatter Gyarados's face before collapsing.

Being hit at close range by such a powerful skill, Gyarados couldn't withstand it.

The referee raised both teams' flags.

"Gyarados and Venusaur are both unable to battle!"
