—------------------—
The golden electric current cuts through the sky, pointing directly at the dragon in front of Drake. Pikachu's thunderbolt is not a bit more powerful than the previous Electivire, it can even be said that it is not on the same level!
As the thunderbolt flew out, the sand and gravel on the entire field were drawn into it, forming an existence similar to a sand and gravel electric cannon. Dragonite, who had been looking relaxed and carefree just now, became serious after seeing this electric shock.
The opponent this time was different from the previous ones. It didn't look like someone he could defeat easily. He hadn't encountered an opponent of this level in a long time.
"You're excited too, right? Dragonite? Use Dragon Wave to fight back!" Facing Pikachu's powerful thunderbolt, Drake commanded Dragonite to counterattack without fear.
Dragonite let out a clear dragon roar, and the lavender dragon energy condensed in his chest. The energy was wrapped in the biting wind and turned into a twisted dragon-shaped shock wave, heading towards the golden current.
Two powerful skills collided in the center of the field, and the violent energy exploded instantly, setting off dust and air waves all over the sky, and the broken sand around the field was shaken to the point of shaking.
The dragon's fluctuating purple energy and the golden current of thunderbolt collided crazily. The two streams refused to give way to each other. They came and went, seemingly evenly matched, and dazzling sparks and low roars continued to burst out at the energy collision.
But soon, Pikachu's thunderbolt showed even greater power!
The golden current seemed to be alive, slowly eroding along the energy lines of the dragon's fluctuations, compressing the range of the purple dragon-shaped energy bit by bit.
Seeing this, Dragonite struggled to activate his energy, and the lavender light suddenly became a little brighter, but he could only barely slow down the speed of the current advancement. After all, it was difficult to reverse the situation.
In just a moment, the dragon's fluctuating energy was torn apart by a thunderbolt, and the golden current enveloped the remaining sand and stone, breaking through the obstacle and shooting straight towards Dragonite.
"Get out of the way!" Drake's voice was very fast, but the speed of the thunderbolt was even faster. The thunderbolt that tore apart the dragon's wave directly hit Dragonite's body!
Dragonite grunted in pain and stumbled slightly. Part of his left wing was slightly blackened by the current, and the muscles in his shoulders also felt a slight numbness, but it did not damage the root.
After all, it was buffered by the dragon's wave. In addition, he had the typing of dragon plus flying, so he would not be restrained by the electric attribute.
"Junior Elite Four...another weird Pokémon." Drake murmured.
Why weird? Isn't it weird enough that the Junior Elite Four can defeat the Intermediate Elite Four in a head-on confrontation?
After reaching the Elite Four level, it is very difficult to fight beyond the level, let alone a pseudo-legendary when the opponent is just a Pikachu.
Pikachu's comprehensive ability value is well known to be low, while the comprehensive ability value of pseudo-legendarys is well known to be high. Generally speaking, it is normal for pseudo-legendarys to surpass Pikachu, but the reverse situation...isn't this a joke?
When will Pikachu become a pseudo-legendary? By coincidence, this situation appeared in front of him!
That's why Drake said, this is another weird Pokémon, why use another? Because there are too many weird Pokemon in Ash's hands.
If Drake knew that Ash's Pikachu was only at the peak of the gym, he would be even more surprised. Although he had experienced the weird over-level challenges from the Infernape and the Crystal Onix before, Drake would be more receptive to things like level-up battles.
But whether it was the Infernape or the Crystal Onix, they actually relied on Ash's power. This can be seen. However, Pikachu was different. Drake did not feel the same situation from Pikachu as the Infernape and the Crystal Onix.
In other words, Pikachu relies entirely on his own strength, without Ash helping behind him.
Under such circumstances, it is quite strange to be able to leapfrog and fight a pseudo-legendary.
In fact, if it weren't for the help of his partner form, it would be really difficult for Pikachu to suppress Dragonite normally.
In the partner form, Pikachu's level will be raised by one level regardless of all restrictions. Even from the peak of the gym to the Elite Four level, it can still be upgraded, and all ability values will also be improved. Coupled with the assistance of the electric ball, it is only a small level of a Elite Four, you can go as high as you like!
"Pikachu, Quick attack!"
"Dragonite, Extreme Speed!"
Ash used Quick attack, and Drake chose a skill that was faster than Quick attack, so fast!
The two Pokemon turned into an afterimage and shuttled across the field. The audience could only see two yellow shadows flashing across the field, and could not see the movements of both sides clearly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sounds of collisions on the field are endless. It can be heard that the two sides are constantly colliding on the field.
However, in the eyes of the audience, they can still only see the afterimages passing by on the field, as well as the trembling sand and gravel on the ground, but they can't see the movements of both sides.
Even the experienced host couldn't clearly see the movements of the two Pokemon. He only saw a little more than the audience.
The only ones who can really see the movements of the two Pokemon clearly are the two trainers on the field.
A capable trainer must not only have strong Pokemon, but also their own eyesight and reaction ability. Otherwise, they will only become a drag on the Pokemon.
Trainers and Pokemon make progress together. If the trainer cannot keep up with the pace of the Pokemon, then the speed of the Pokemon' progress will also be slowed down. This is why it is so difficult to become a top trainer.
Ash and Drake are both well-deserved powerful trainers, and of course it is impossible for them to not be able to see their own Pokémon's movements clearly.
Now... Dragonite has the upper hand!
With every collision, Pikachu would have more scars on his body, and gradually, Pikachu could no longer catch up with the speed of the Dragonite.
Although Pikachu can be faster than Dragonite, the skill used by Dragonite is Extreme Speed after all. Extreme Speed is one level higher than the speed of Quick Attack. The acceleration of this skill is enough to smooth out or even surpass the speed gap between the two sides.
"Iron Tail!" Ash suddenly shouted out. Almost as soon as Ash's voice fell, the Dragonite and Pikachu on the field collided again, but this time, the dragon was directly ejected!
When the audience took a closer look, they saw that Pikachu's posture changed to face the Dragonite with its back, and its lightning-like tail lit up with a metallic luster.
"So... such a fast Iron Tail! The moment Ash's voice fell, Pikachu used the Iron Tail as if it was telepathic. Normally, even if the Pokémon could hear the command, it would be impossible to react in such a short period of time, but Ash's Pikachu not only reacted, but also used it!"
After the host was briefly shocked, his good professionalism allowed him to immediately begin to explain the situation on the field.
Even he couldn't clearly see the speed of the collision between the two sides just now. But at this speed, Pikachu not only heard the command that Ash gave when he opened his mouth, but also used it in an instant.
This reaction speed, this move speed, is really too fast. It can even be said that it is not like hearing with the ears and then transmitting it to the central nervous system of the brain to react. Instead, the move of Iron Tail was used instinctively the moment Ash's voice fell.
Obviously this is a non-native move, but in Pikachu's hands, it seems to have become one of its own moves.
"Pikachu, thunderbolt!" Seeing that the Dragonite was repelled by the Iron Tail, Ash immediately ordered Pikachu to attack again.
Pikachu landed lightly on the ground, and his body was instantly filled with sparkling electricity. The next second, golden thunder and lightning flew out like an arrow from a string, aiming directly at Dragonite lying on the ground.
"Get out of the way!!" At Drake's voice, Dragonite endured the pain in his body and flashed the small wings on his back, and quickly flew from the ground to the air, barely avoiding the thunderbolt.
"Zippy Zap!" thunderbolt was dodged by Ash's expectation, and his real attack was hidden behind!
As Ash's words fell, Pikachu disappeared in the blink of an eye. A golden light of lightning pierced the sky. The audience only saw a Quick attack in the air, followed by a thunderous sound in the air!
"Hi!" As the thunder rang out, the Dragonite screamed sadly...
To the sky!
The Zippy Zap hit Dragonite, and the bright electric light shone in mid-air. Dragonite's entire body turned golden, and an extremely painful expression appeared on his face, telling how tragic the injury Dragonite was suffering now.
It was only at this time that Drake realized that Pikachu's speed just now was beyond his ability to see clearly. By the time he came to his senses, Dragonite had already been hit by a skill called Zippy Zap.
After turning the name of this skill around in Drake's mind, he was stunned but couldn't find any information about this skill.
Drake knew that Ash's Pikachu would be different after wearing the hat, but he didn't know that the hat Pikachu had his own unique skills, especially the Zippy Zap skill, which can only be described as abnormal.
The speed increase is the same as the Extreme Speed, but the power is even more powerful than the Extreme Speed, because this skill is sure to hit the vital point of the Pokémon.
Originally, this skill was only slightly stronger than the Quick Attack, but when it is sure to hit the vital point, it is a unique skill comparable to a high-voltage electric shock!
However, this skill consumes a pitiful amount of energy, and it will not be affected by the reaction force of high-voltage electric shock skills. Coupled with the acceleration effect it comes with, it can be said to be the most versatile and most useful skill among Pikachu's four special skills.
After the fast dragon in the sky was hit by lightning acceleration, its body that barely managed to fly finally couldn't hold up and fell down.
Of course, Ash would not miss such an opportunity. He then commanded Pikachu: "Pikachu, Floaty Fall!"
"Pika Pika!!" Pikachu flipped in the air, his head facing down, and then fell suddenly. His small body seemed to turn into a small meteorite, covered with a layer of light yellow energy. The surrounding wind gathered on Pikachu at this moment and became the force of his fall!
"What kind of skill is this? Dragonite, use Dragon Claw!" It was another skill that he had never seen before. Drake didn't care so much and used Dragon Claw to deal with it first.
The falling dragon barely opened one eye. After pinpointing the direction where Pikachu fell, he crossed his hands in front of him, and a green light appeared on his claws.
"Boom——!!!"
Pikachu's body, wrapped in wind pressure and light yellow energy, hit the dragon's crossed claws like a meteorite falling to the ground.
The emerald green dragon energy and the light golden energy on Pikachu exploded at the moment of contact. The ear-piercing tearing sound of energy was mixed with the muffled sound of bone shaking, which made people's eardrums ache in the arena.
Dragonite was already paralyzed by the critical impact of Zippy Zap. At this moment, the dragon claws that he tried to hold up with all his strength were cracked inch by inch under the huge force of Piao Piao's fall. Emerald green light scattered like broken glass, and the dragon claws were shattered by Piao Piao's fall!
After smashing the dragon's claws, Pikachu's remaining power also hit Dragonite. The two figures overlapped and fell to the ground quickly!
"Boom!!"
Dragonite's body hit the gravel floor of the arena heavily, instantly creating a deep pit with a diameter of several meters. The underground gravel was lifted dozens of meters into the air by the air waves, and then fell down like a heavy rain.
The softness of this sand and gravel field is compared to the normal ground, but this place is not a spring bed. If the sand and gravel on the ground pierce the body with force, it will be very painful. Falling from this height and with this force will still cause a lot of damage to Dragonite.
Pikachu bounced up lightly by the reaction force of the collision, and finally landed on the ground not far from Dragonite. His body undulated slightly, and the successive attacks also took a certain amount of consumption on Pikachu.
Since he used Iron Tail just now, his attacks have never stopped. thunderbolt, lightning acceleration, and falling, almost completely connected. Not only did Dragonite have no chance to breathe, but he also didn't.
But overall, the result was good. Dragonite was suppressed by him throughout the whole process, and his physical strength should have been exhausted a lot by now.
On the other hand, he only suffered some damage when he faced Dragonite's rapid attack at the beginning.
However, the name of pseudo-legendary Dragonite was not in vain. After a few seconds, Dragonite slowly stood up in the pit. Although he was covered with bruises, the fighting spirit burning in his eyes did not retreat at all.
On the contrary, it burned even more intensely!
It has been a long time since he met an opponent of this level. Although he is at a disadvantage now, it is just right for him. He has just started to warm up!
The real battle has just begun!
