I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

Page 348

Although Ash's Pokémon were also at Professor Oak's lab, Gary hadn't noticed them. After all, Venusaur was the security captain among Ash's Pokémon, and it would intervene to stop any disputes among them.

Now that Bulbasaur has evolved into Venusaur, the upcoming battles should be quite interesting.

The battle begins.

Dusknoir used Black Gaze to prevent Venusaur from escaping, and Venusaur took the opportunity to use Leech Seed, parasitizing Dusknoir.

Although Dusknoir defeated Charizard, it also suffered severe damage. Even with the Evolution Stone, it couldn't withstand so many attacks.

Venusaur unleashed a flurry of petals, a snow-like storm that extinguished the will-o'-the-wisp of Dusknoir, burying it like a torrent.

Venusaur decisively defeated Dusknoir.

Kamishiro retrieved the Wandering Night Spirit and dispatched a second spirit, the Iron-Faced Ninja.

【LV63 Iron-Faced Ninja♂/King】

"Venusaur, come back."

Upon seeing the Iron-Faced Ninja, Ash decisively recalled Venusaur (237).

Although Venusaur is affected by Black Gaze, in actual battles, the effect of Black Gaze will disappear simply by defeating the Pokémon that has Black Gaze.

"Next... I choose you, Squirtle!" Ash sent out his third Pokémon.

Baton!

【LV62 Squirtle♂/Elite Four】

"Jenny!"

Ash's Squirtle didn't evolve and remained in its initial form.

The two sides engaged in battle, exchanging various powerful moves. In the end, Squirtle defeated Ninjamas with a Team Rocket Headbutt, successfully helping Ash defeat the second Pokémon from Generation II.

“Alright, go, Sun Rock.” Kamishiro remained completely calm and sent out a third Pokémon.

Baton!

【LV64 Sunrock/Uranus】

It's clear that Shindai is holding back, as the Pokémon he's using aren't very high level, mostly between level 60 and 65, which is even lower than Lila's.

However, this is understandable, as almost no trainer could clear the Kanto Frontier by directly using the three legendary Pokémon.

Although Squirtle had the advantage in terms of type, it was very vulnerable to being targeted in terms of move usage, and its move pool was too small. In the end, it was defeated by Solrock's Solar Beam.

Next, Gary sent out Venusaur to fight again.

511: Successive Battles

Solrock is also type-countered by Venusaur, but Solrock knows Psychic and Psychic Wave, both of which are effective against Venusaur. The two clashed fiercely and finally unleashed Solar Beam at the same time.

Boom! !

With an explosion, both Pokémon were thrown off the field by the shockwave and landed on the ground.

“Solar Rock and Bulbasaur, both are now unable to battle,” Sotaro said.

Everyone watched as Solrock and Bulbasaur were defeated at the same time, and they were all worried for the two. This match was too difficult, with all sorts of comebacks. Now both sides only had one Pokémon left.

"In this way, both of them will only have one elf left."

"The moment of truth has finally arrived."

"I wonder what kind of spirit Mr. Kamishiro will bring out?"

"So far, Mr. Kamishiro has used Regirock and Registeel in official competitions."

Which one will he choose to fight? Or...!

Everyone is curious about what the fourth spirit of the Age of Gods will be.

As for Ash's last Pokémon, is there even a need to guess?

...!

On the field, Ash said, "Pikachu, I choose you."

"Pickup!"

Pikachu rushed into the arena.

"Alright, it's finally your turn. Go, Regice." Shinji threw out the Poké Ball in his hand.

Baton!

An ice giant made entirely of ice makes its appearance.

"Leji!"

[LV60 Regice/Near Legendary]

"What kind of Pokémon is that?" Xiaoyao immediately took out her Pokédex and scanned it.

Pokédex entry: "Regice, an ice-cold Pokémon, has an ice body formed during the Ice Age. It does not melt when exposed to fire and can manipulate air at temperatures as low as -200 degrees Celsius...!"

"So the Pokémon that Kamishiro captured at the ruins was this Regice."

"This is the first time I've ever seen this."

Xiao Mao was somewhat disappointed.

I originally thought that Reggie's level in Age of Gods was around 65, but it turns out he's only level 60. That level isn't low, but it's definitely a bit weaker compared to the other two pillars in Age of Gods.

Now, Pikachu's journey to slay gods begins.

Pikachu unleashed a Thunderbolt attack first, but Regice withstood the attack without sustaining any damage.

Regice has a Special Defense stat of 200, so Special Attack moves are basically ineffective against it.

After being hit by 100,000 volts, Regice began to retaliate, firing two Ice Beams. Although they didn't hit Pikachu, they froze the entire area, demonstrating Regice's unparalleled control over cold air.

Regice is slow, but it still has considerable speed on ice. The battle that followed was just like the plot of the anime, with Pikachu hitting Regice with a double Iron Tail (Giant Slash).

Regice used Ice Beam to retaliate, which missed Pikachu, but the ice pillars it created surrounded Pikachu. Then it used Sleep to recover its stamina.

Pikachu's Iron Tail shattered the ice pillars and charged rapidly towards Regice, its entire body bursting with golden lightning.

High-voltage electric shock!!

Regice also woke up and used the Ice Beam to counterattack, but Pikachu dodged it with a clever move.

boom! !

Pikachu crashed headfirst into Regice's frozen body, sending Regice flying backward and crashing into the wall outside the arena, where it lay motionless.

"Regice is unable to battle, Pikachu wins." Sotaro announced, "So the winner is Ash from Pallet Town."

"We won!!"

"Pikachu!!"

Ash and Pikachu jumped up excitedly to celebrate, having finally cleared the Battle Frontier.

After the match, Shinji handed over the symbol of bravery to Ash.

"Xiao Zhi, congratulations!"

"Congratulations on clearing all the battle frontiers."

"What a fantastic match."

Everyone came over to congratulate Ash.

Ash then looked at Gary and asked, "Gary, don't you want to say something?"

"There's not much to say. Although you won, you made quite a few mistakes in this game, especially your stupid shot on the ground," Xiao Mao complained.

Ash: "This...(￣ω￣;)!"

Indeed, the opening battle was really subpar; it was a mistake only a rookie trainer would make.

"It's alright. Although there were some mistakes, it's still good overall," Professor Oak comforted her.

Xiao Shigeru didn't say much, turned to look at Kamishiro, and asked, "Mr. Kamishiro, when can I fight you?"

At noon, Shindai heard Ashida talk about Shigeru and knew that Shigeru was a very strong challenger who had defeated the other six pioneer leaders in less than 10 days.

“Then let’s wait until the venue is repaired before we begin the battle,” Kamishiro said.

"What! We're going to fight so soon?"

"Not until tomorrow?"

Haruka and Masashi were both surprised; they hadn't expected that Kamishiro would continue fighting.

"...It's alright, I have other Pokémon I can use. I'm going to other places tomorrow, so I'll fight them all today," Kamishiro said.

"no problem."

Xiao Mao didn't want to waste time either, so he wanted to hurry as much as possible.

"That's great! We can see Shigeru's match!" Xiaozheng exclaimed excitedly.

Xiao Zheng really admires Xiao Mao, especially since Xiao Mao dominates his opponents in every match. He thought it would be difficult for Xiao Mao to challenge the Frontier Zone, but he reached the Battle Pyramid so quickly.

"Then I'll stay and continue watching, Mao, is that alright?" Xiaoyao said.

"Whatever, watch if you want," Xiao Mao said indifferently.

And so, everyone decided to stay and continue watching the match between Shigeru and Kamishiro.

There are healing devices inside the Battle Pyramid, and Ash's Pokémon can also receive treatment.

15 minutes later...!

The site has been prepared.

Shigeru and Shinjiro were both standing in the command area.

Inside the command area, Zotaro began, "(Alright, Zhao) Let's begin the Pyramid Expansion Battle Tournament."

"The challenger is Gary from Pallet Town, and next up is Pharaoh Shinji from the Pyramid."

"This competition will be a 2V2 match. Only the challenger has the right to substitute their Pokémon. Now, please send out your Pokémon, Leader."
