In wilderness battles, it's common for Trainers to use underhanded tactics, and directly attacking a Trainer is just a basic move. The League has issued reminders multiple times, saying that if a Trainer encounters villainous organizations or enemies with grudges in the wild, they should first pay attention to their own situation.
But for Ash, such a problem simply doesn't exist.
Because among all his Pokemon, only Mewtwo can compare with him now, and even it's slightly inferior.
Yes, after more than six months of travel, Ash's Aura Power has reached a higher level, now arriving at the Intermediate Divine Realm level, even vaguely touching the threshold of Divine Realm Advanced.
Every Pokemon battle, every Aura Fusion, every day of training not only brings improvement to the Pokemon but also to Ash himself, who trains alongside the Pokemon in both battles and training!
So now, the strongest in Ash's lineup is not Mewtwo, but himself!
Attacking him is truly the wrong target.
The shockwave caused by the stomp blew Tyranitar several meters away, breaking several trees before it barely stopped.
This strike was even heavier than Pikachu's earlier Thunderbolt! And this was merely a residual wave of Ash's attack.
"It's about time you faced reality, isn't it? You're not my opponent, but I've already given you many chances. I said, if you don't leave now, you'll be lying in this forest!" Ash glanced at Tyranitar, confirming it wasn't in danger of life before turning his gaze to Iron-Masked Marauder, his eyes full of coldness.
Generally, he faces others with a smile, and with the learning from the top trainers in the group, he gets angry less and less.
His growth isn't just in Pokemon knowledge and Trainer skills but also in his personal quality.
Although he's still passionate and kind-hearted, he no longer acts impulsively, gets easily angry, or acts without thinking.
But this time, Iron-Masked Marauder's actions truly angered him; he not only disrespects other Pokemon's lives but also doesn't even respect his own Pokemon's life!
He's utterly the scum among the dregs!
Such a guy needs to be beaten to the point of being unable to take care of himself, to question life, to question oneself.
Iron-Masked Marauder swallowed hard, finally sensing something was wrong; the guy in front of him could withstand Gym-level Tyranitar's Earthquake with his own body, he simply wasn't human.
From the beginning, he should have realized, being able to block his robot's kick directly is not something a human can do, but he only thought the opponent was just strong.
Now it's a big problem.
That Tyranitar wasn't his Pokemon; it was a Pokemon he took from someone else using a Dark Ball.
The power of the Dark Ball completely unleashed Tyranitar's Quasi-God power, overextending its future potential, leaping from its original Elite Level to the Gym Peak Level.
However, this also means that henceforth, that Tyranitar would have no room for improvement, and even its lifespan wouldn't last long. Simply put, it's—dying soon, no future.
Plus, the fight should have further shortened Tyranitar's lifespan, since that first clash with Thunderbolt was enough to make Tyranitar lose consciousness.
But Tyranitar could still fight because the Dark Ball forcibly controlled its consciousness, even preventing it from losing battle capability.
Either continue to fight or die, that's the fate of being controlled by the Dark Ball!
Even now, Tyranitar still has fighting power, but it just needs to continue exhausting its own life, which is meaningless to Iron-Masked Marauder, because even if it continues to battle, Tyranitar is simply no match for Ash.
So, he must think of another way.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt on that guy." Ash decisively commanded Pikachu to use its skill against Iron-Masked Marauder.
Directly attacking another Trainer? He can do that too!
Besides, this guy really deserves a shock!
"Tyranitar, Double-Edge!"
"Tyranitar has lost the ability to fight...what?!" Ash's words had not yet finished when the Tyranitar lying on the ground actually stood up. Even with its hands hanging down and head lowered, something was still supporting it to stand.
This clearly wasn't the bond between a Trainer and their Pokemon, but rather some force forcibly controlling it.
In Tyranitar's current state, using Double-Edge might very well lead to its death!
If Pikachu's Thunderbolt hit Tyranitar, it would also result in its death.
This guy...wants to use Tyranitar's life to stop his attack!
"If you've got the guts, go ahead and attack big guy, to me it's just a tool; if it breaks, just replace it with another tool, but I wonder if you, a kind kid, can bear it." Iron-Masked Marauder shouted arrogantly, a ferocious smile on his face.
"Too much!" The boy behind Ash couldn't help but curse.
This masked guy is the most evil and disgusting person he's ever seen!
How could there be a Trainer so devoid of moral values? And what's this Team Rocket? He's never heard of this organization!
