"The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Is Ash going to be okay? Should we go check?" Inside the lighthouse, Misty looked worriedly out the window. The situation outside was very bad now.
The weather was gloomy, the wind howled, making the windows tremble. Outside, wind and torrential rain poured down, and the sea was raging with monstrous waves that seemed to have gone mad, continuously roaring.
Coupled with the increasing rain, the view towards the seaside was completely blurred, so it was impossible to ascertain Ash's situation, which made Misty even more worried.
"You can't go even if you want to now. Let's wait a bit longer!" Brock, with his usual narrowed eyes, glanced outside.
Rumble!!!
"Ah!!!" Just then, there was a sudden loud bang, and Misty, startled, subconsciously covered her ears. Thunder struck outside, filling Misty's heart with fear and worry.
While the two were worried, Professor Masaki was also silently watching out the window on the second floor. Although it was very blurry, he could still see several small dots of different colors, fighting against nature.
The downpour had lasted for almost half an hour, and still showed no sign of stopping. Ash and his Pokémon remained by the sea, not leaving. But now, training had become even more difficult.
At this moment, Ash connected his power with Pikachu. Pikachu closed its eyes, seemingly able to feel the surrounding waves, allowing the powerful waves to repeatedly crash onto its body.
Pika??
"Hmm??" Just then, Pikachu's ears twitched and suddenly stood upright. Ash, who was originally concentrating on sensing this power,
suddenly felt a hint of unease. Soon, Ash realized this was Pikachu's emotion. Sensing Pikachu's unease, Ash's heart also became uneasy.
Suddenly opening his eyes, Ash's eyes glowed red. He abruptly turned to look, only to see that not far from the beach, with the sudden surge of strong winds, a giant monstrous wave arose. It could no longer be called a wave, but rather a tsunami.
A several-meter-high tsunami swept in, covering a wide area. This time, it wasn't just Ash and Pikachu; once this tsunami hit, the other Pokémon would also be swept in.
A tsunami wasn't over once it hit the shore. As large amounts of seawater receded, a huge pulling force would drag them all into the sea.
Except for Squirtle, the other Pokémon, even if they were good swimmers, wouldn't be able to remain safe in this situation. Pikachu also opened its eyes at this moment, looking at the oncoming tsunami on the ocean.
The other Pokémon saw this scene and, braving the storm, came to Ash's side, wanting to protect him.
"You guys, no matter when, you can always rely on me to protect you. I can protect you all." Ash looked at the Pokémon beside him, deeply moved, his red eyes growing even more radiant.
"This time, it will definitely succeed. Pikachu, use Surf!"
His eyes glowed red, and a light, visible only to Ash, connected him to Pikachu. At his command, Pikachu charged forward with incredible speed, directly riding on the seawater.
This time, it didn't fall. It charged directly towards the tsunami, then quickly leaped high into the air, reaching the height of the tsunami.
"Go, Pikachu!!!"
Red light gleamed in his eyes. The moment Ash shouted...
Rumble!!!
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, emitting a deafening roar. The lightning seemed to spread with the rainwater onto Pikachu's body. In an instant, Pikachu was enveloped in electricity.
Pika~~~chu!!!!
Pikachu also let out a cry. Below, the seawater suddenly surged as if alive, transforming into a huge wave that continuously rose. At this moment, Pikachu, enveloped in lightning, also descended from the sky.
It directly stepped onto the rising wave. The electricity on Pikachu's body spread along the wave. The wave, in addition to its powerful water current, was also enveloped in electrical power.
The electrical wave, controlled by Pikachu, charged directly towards the tsunami. The two sides were like two massive monsters rushing towards each other.
Bang!! Boom boom!!!
The two waves crashed into each other, releasing astonishing power. The moment the seawater collided, although it fused, it still unleashed an immense force. The electrical power entwined around Pikachu's wave ignited.
Instantly, the seawater was blasted into the sky. Pikachu's wave was about the same height as the tsunami, but its range wasn't as wide. However, it was enough to shield Ash and the others' position.
Because a gap was blasted open, the tsunami's power was greatly reduced, but it still rushed onto the rocks and trees on both sides. In the sky, seawater splashed. Pikachu fell from the air into the seawater, and the tsunami gradually subsided.
The waves that crashed ashore gradually receded into the sea, dragging along the mud and sand and broken branches and trees. Ash and his Pokémon remained in place, completely soaked by the rain and seawater.
"Pikachu!!"
Ash ignored everything else and ran forward, diving into the water like a fish. The Pokémon looked a bit worried, and Squirtle immediately followed.
The other few also wanted to follow, but they didn't have such good types. Charmander could endure the storm, but truly diving wouldn't work. They could only wait anxiously on the shore.
Five minutes, ten minutes...
Time passed minute by minute. As the tsunami receded, it seemed to symbolize the end of the downpour.
The weather by the sea was changeable. The downpour came and went quickly. The wind began to subside, the heavy rain also started to lessen, the waves gradually became gentle, and the dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipated. Sunlight filtered through the clouds, gently falling on the sea surface.
Splash!!!!
A splash of water sounded. Under the watchful eyes of Eevee and the others, a familiar figure surfaced from the water. It was Ash, holding a very tired Pikachu.
Squirtle was on Ash's back. Ash surfaced, gasping for air. Seeing this scene, the Pokémon on the shore all cheered joyfully.
Ash brought Pikachu and Squirtle back to the beach, immediately lying on the ground, panting heavily. The Pokémon, however, all gathered around, piling onto Ash.
"Hahahahaha! You guys are going to crush me to death."
