"Bliss..."
On the field, Blissey let out a faint, almost inaudible wail, its voice devoid of its usual gentleness and strength, filled only with extreme weakness.
She struggled to stand up, but even after recovering from laying eggs, her body was still severely damaged by the scorching flames.
Laying an egg can restore half of your health, but with Charizard's attack power, a single Flame Charge with its hard claws can almost completely deplete a Blissey's health.
After all, while Blissey has great stamina, its maximum HP is still not enough when it encounters a powerful physical attacker.
Physical strength alone cannot constitute comprehensive defense.
It's incredibly powerful. With its pitifully low defense, Blissey is no match for Charizard, an ultimate physical attacker. Plus, Charizard's powerful move Flare Blitz under the Hard Claws ability hits directly, so even if Blissey's level is higher than Charizard's, it's useless.
Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, Blissey slowly closed its eyes, tilted its head to the side, and lost its ability to fight.
"Roar!!" Charizard roared to the sky, its blazing flames shooting high into the air, indicating its current excitement.
Although the battle ended quickly, Blissey caused him considerable trouble, especially since Blissey was a higher level than him and its attack was able to defeat it directly, which surprised even Charizard itself.
"How could this be... Daddy's Blissey... Daddy's Blissey has such high stamina! How could it be defeated in one blow?!" Max's face was full of disbelief as he muttered to himself. He simply couldn't accept this fact.
Isn't using a dragon a bit too exaggerated?
Is Ash really only fifteen years old? How could a fifteen-year-old train such a terrifying Pokémon, even stronger than the Pokémon his father trained for over ten years? That's just too illogical!
"Max, don't get excited. The battle isn't over yet. You might affect your father." May patted Max's shoulder, signaling him not to be too impulsive.
Judging from Max's posture, he even wanted to rush into the arena to check on Blissey, since he simply couldn't believe that Blissey had been defeated so easily.
But that's the harsh reality! Blissey was indeed killed in one hit by Charizard's Flare Blitz. This kind of Pokémon with high HP, practically a tank, will have its overall strength greatly reduced if it is killed in one hit.
After all, Blissey's base attack power isn't strong; even its special attack only makes it relatively powerful.
To defeat an opponent through pure offense is pure wishful thinking.
To defeat your opponent, the only way is through endless attrition. The best strategy is to continuously wear down your opponent by using the egg-laying skill.
Unfortunately, if a strategy focused on attrition encounters a Charizard with extreme attack power, then it's simply bad luck.
If it were a normal Charizard, even using close-range attacks, it wouldn't be able to kill Blissey in one hit. Let alone kill it in one hit, it would be considered a superhuman performance if it could reduce Blissey's health by a third in one attack.
Without claws, its attack stat isn't increased, and its level is far behind, how can it possibly compete with a Blissey?
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Once a Mega Charizard is evolved, as long as its moves hit, it can reliably kill a Blissey.
Norman let out a soft breath, then put the Blissey back: "Thank you for your hard work, Blissey. Sorry, it was me who gave the order."
In the past, when my father used the Blissey to battle others, although there were no shocking scenes of one-hit kills, there were scenes where the opponent could only scratch the Blissey no matter how hard they tried.
Moreover, it often happens that the enemy finally manages to deplete Blissey's stamina, only to have Blissey use a special egg to completely restore its stamina.
Even a beginner knows the normal strategy for using Blissey: Minimize Blissey to increase the chance of dodging enemy attacks, then use skills to counterattack when the opponent's attack misses.
If your stamina drops to a certain level, just use the Egg-Laying skill to restore your stamina. In the end, the enemy will just be played to death by the Blissey.
That's how the legend of the Pink Devil came about!
In Max's memory, his father's Blissey had never lost, but today it wasn't just defeated, it was killed in one blow by that Charizard.
Charizard unleashed a massive area-of-effect attack; even if Blissey were shrunk, it would likely suffer considerable damage from such a wide range.
I don't know what the situation is like inside the venue now.
As time passed, after a dozen seconds, the flames in the arena began to slowly die down, revealing the true state of the arena.
The entire area was scorched black, and the pitch-black Charizard stood upright. It was clear from its body that it had also suffered some damage, which was the result of its Flare Charge reflecting off the target.
It didn't have much of an impact on Charizard, but not far away, Blissey lay half-lying on the ground, its shrunken half of its body charred black, looking like half an egg that had been dyed black.
The Minimize ability did allow Blissey to barely dodge Charizard's attack, but the area of effect after Flare Blitz's explosion...
There's been a slight problem; I'll take you to the Pokémon Center later.
After apologizing to the Blissey inside the Poké Ball, Norman took out his last Poké Ball.
"To be honest, before battling you, Ash, I never thought I would be pushed to this point. To be precise, I never thought I would be pushed to this point by you in this state."
This so-called state means that Ash is not using waveguide fusion.
Although Ash defeated Lorelei, experienced trainers could tell that Ash's Pokémon relied on his special power to achieve that. Otherwise, how could a Elite Four-level Pokémon possibly fight against a Champion-level Pokémon?
Therefore, before battling Ash, Norman had already prepared for Ash to use the special power of those boosted Pokémon.
If Ash uses that method, even he had no way to deal with it, so he could only fight with all his might, and the final result would most likely be a loss.
Ash didn't even use that move, and still managed to defeat his two Pokémon.
On one hand, he underestimated Ash, believing that he still had the advantage before Ash used that move. On the other hand, he overestimated himself, believing that even if Ash used that move, he would still be able to fight back.
The final result is as follows: even without that move, Ash defeated both of his Pokémon without suffering any casualties himself.
However, to be fair, this is just a harsh way of putting it; in reality, Ash's Lucario is practically incapacitated, and Charizard's stamina has also been significantly depleted.
That Charizard is Ash's ace, so it's reasonable for it to be a bit fierce; Ash has already sent out his ace.
The reason is that even if you successfully train a Slave King, it is very difficult to use him.
Slaking's trait is Sloth; after launching an attack, the next attack will enter a stagnant phase. In other words, every attack by Slaking is equivalent to using Hyper Beam.
This characteristic will undoubtedly cause many trainers a lot of headaches. Moreover, after evolving into Slaking, this Pokémon's personality will become very lazy. Although it won't completely stop training, it's normal for it to lie down for twenty hours a day.
If you can find half an hour to train each day, you should be grateful.
Therefore, although it is easier to train Slaking to its final evolution than to train other pseudo-legendary Pokémon, there are still not many people who train this Pokémon.
Battle mode is not good, training mode is also difficult.
This kind of Pokémon is so lazy that only highly skilled trainers can control it.
Home. Coincidentally, Norman was a practitioner of this highly skilled training.
Not only had he trained this Slaking, but it was also his ace Pokémon! Ash glanced at Slaking's level and saw that it had already reached the intermediate Champion rank!
Compared to the other Pokémon that Norman has, Slaking is simply overwhelmingly stronger!
"Ace against ace? In that case, I'll have to bring out my 'ace' too. Charizard, come back here!" Ash said, recalling Charizard.
This move surprised Norman, May, and Max.
Why did Ash recall Charizard? Does that mean Charizard isn't Ash's ace Pokémon? That can't be right, such a powerful Charizard isn't Ash's ace? Then what is Ash's ace Pokémon...?
"The final battle is up to you, Pikachu." Ash turned to Pikachu at his feet and said firmly, entrusting the final battle to his most trusted Pokémon!
Ash treats all his Pokémon equally, and rarely shows favoritism towards any particular Pokémon. However, this is only a general rule; within the entire team, all the Pokémon know that Pikachu is different.
He was Ash's first Pokémon and the one Ash trusted the most, a fact well-known among Pokémon.
Regardless of whether Pikachu is the strongest in the team, in important battles, it is always Ash's trump card, just like in this battle.
"Pikachu?" Norman was stunned when he saw Pikachu.
He didn't expect Ash to recall Charizard and replace it with Pikachu.
Ash's Pikachu is powerful, and it has a special mark.
While Ash's Pikachu possesses a certain level of ambition, it pales in comparison to Charizard's impressive record. It's said that Ash's Pikachu has many unusual moves, but those moves are nothing but illusions in the face of absolute power.
No matter how strong a Pikachu is, its strength is limited. How can it be compared to a Charizard that can Mega Evolve?
After Pikachu appeared, the children watching were dazzled. It has to be said that Ash's Pokémon are just right for them. They are either handsome or cute, and they want them all!
But then again, even children don't think that Pikachu, such a cute Pokémon, can exert much power compared to that big guy on the other side.
"Come on, Mr. Norman, let's have our final battle!"
"The final round? I don't think so."
"My Slaking alone will defeat all your Pokemon." Norman calmly uttered these words with unwavering certainty.
Ash said it was the last round, which means that Ash thought he could defeat Slaking in this match, but Norman had no intention of falling here.
Whether it's Pikachu, Charizard, or even Lucario in its weakened state, his Slaking will defeat them all!
"No, I'll end this battle here, Pikachu!" Ash said, taking off his hat and tossing it into the air. Pikachu leaped up and landed the hat steadily on his head.
"Was it a Pikachu wearing a hat from the very beginning? Ash is going all out!" Brock said seriously, arms crossed.
"What does 'Pikachu wearing a hat' mean? Will anything different happen if Pikachu wears a hat?" Max asked curiously.
