Chapter 927 Ash and Shinji's Peak Teamwork
Chapter 927 Ash and Shinji's Peak Teamwork
With Riko and her Bug-type Gym Leader working together, as expected, the Earth King finally fell to Meowth's feet.
Whoosh! A commotion broke out at the edge of the field.
It turned out that Ash and Shinji had gotten up. The two of them went to the edge of the sports field together.
"Teacher, did I do okay?" Rico asked, leaning closer.
"Well done." Ash smiled with satisfaction as he ruffled Riko's hair.
"Alright, let's leave now. Next up is our battle." Shinji twisted his wrist, revealing a shimmering Keystone bracelet.
"Go ahead." Ash nodded, gesturing for Riko to go find Roy and the others.
Then, he instructed the three children, "Watch carefully, the experience you're about to share will come in handy for you in the future."
"Yes!" The three little ones nodded vigorously.
From a second-floor window not far away, Coral and Onikis, dressed in school uniforms, observed the sports field together with Agate, who was disguised as a teacher.
They could never be too wary of Ash's strength.
"It's starting. Let me see how far this person can resist the strongest trainer in Padia." Agate sneered.
The two Gundams lingered in her shadow, and only a regular battle could give her a chance to strike.
Amidst enthusiastic cheers from students and parents, Ash and Shinji's rival, the Pokémon League Chairman and also the Padia Champion, Yaji, waved as he entered the arena.
"Please allow me to apologize first. Because the battle is something I can't hold back in, so... be careful." Ye Ci said with a very gentle smile.
"Heh~" Shinji's lips twitched: "You're welcome."
"President Yoji, be careful." Ash nodded helplessly. Shinji, that guy, isn't very shrewd...
"So, both sides only need to defeat one of the champion's Pokémon..." Before Orihime could finish announcing the rules, Shinji interrupted her.
"There's no need for that. We'll fight normally and win." Shinji waved his hand and looked at Yaji seriously.
"Oh, sorry, I was rude." President Yeci was taken aback, then chuckled and nodded: "Going all out is the proper etiquette in battle."
"Then, let the competition begin." Huang Bo nodded helplessly, then raised her hand to announce.
"Then, Crystal Sprout, Crystal Flower, I'm counting on you."
As soon as President Yatsura made his move with his Pokémon, Ash and Shinji exchanged glances.
Guess it right!
The two studied the video of President Ye Ci's battle. If the opponent got serious, there was an 80% probability that this mother-child lineup would appear.
"Raichu, prepare for battle." Shinji waved his right hand, and Alolan Raichu, riding on its large tail, floated in mid-air like a surfer.
"Iron Tracks, go!" Ash followed closely behind, releasing his Pokémon.
"Whoosh!!" The red iron's long nose rose, and its mechanical and armor-like body was majestic and powerful.
"That's it!" The teachers at the academy were all surprised. They hadn't expected Ash to catch this Pokémon!
“That aura and physique are not those of an ordinary paradoxical species, but those of a treasure master!” Hachisaku rubbed his teeth.
"Ash-sensei, what a terrifying trainer!" Principal Clavel shook his head helplessly.
"Judging from the situation, Ash's team has the advantage," Xinli said leisurely as she returned to the Elite Four's area.
"Hmph, they're not facing an ordinary opponent either." Aoki smiled confidently: "That Crystal Flower is quite terrifying."
"Ash, let's go!" Shinji gave the order, and the two of them attacked simultaneously.
"Raichu. Mega Evolution!!"
As the dazzling Mega Light shone, Shinji's Raichu evolved into a Pokémon with two large lightning bolt ears on its head.
"Enhanced Mega Evolution?" Ash frowned.
"No, it's evolution through evolution stones." Shinji and Huang shook the Key Stone in their hand.
"Iron Tracks, Electric Terrain!!" As soon as Ash finished speaking, the field was suddenly covered with a layer of golden energy, and shimmering arcs of electricity rose up!
"What a shrewd choice!" Fried exclaimed in admiration from the corner.
The two worked together seamlessly. Shinji used Mega Evolution's instant invincibility frames to forcefully support Iron Tracks, while Ash directly used Electric Terrain, a move that benefited both of them.
Ash and Shinji's combined strategy was successful in the first phase.
"Crystal Flower"
Let's shine together!
President Yeci took out the Taijing Pearl almost without hesitation.
Bang!! Amidst the sound of crystal shattering, a waterfall of crystal energy poured in, and the Crystal Flower was enveloped in the crystal, with a Normal-type totem appearing above its head.
"Strike first, Raichu, high-five and attack!" Shinji ignited the battle.
"Thunder!" A bolt of lightning tore through the air; Mega Raichu's speed was incredible, and all that could be seen was a golden streak of lightning hurtling towards them!
“Crystal Flower, spiked defense,” Ye Ci said calmly.
Whoosh! The crystal flower suddenly opened its stamens, and emerald green thorns shot out.
"Now! Change direction!" Shinji suddenly abandoned his attack. At the same time, Crystal Flower saw a rolling wheel hurtling towards them!
It was Ash, his iron tracks following Raichu. Charging forward, their target was the Glitterbloom.
"Did you take it down?!" Just as everyone curiously peeked out, President Qingqing waved her hand: "Strange Light!"
Whoosh! A mesmerizing, seven-colored beam of light suddenly shot out from above the Crystal Flower.
"Buzz! Buzz..." Instead of retreating, Tie Zhe's thick body advanced, pressing down directly on him.
Boom! With a loud bang, despite the sharp spikes of the Crystal Flower defending him, Iron Tracks still managed to hit his target with a single blow, sending him flying.
Ash raised an eyebrow as he watched the purple poison spikes burst forth.
As expected, it has the common characteristic of being covered in poison; poison spikes will fall when attacked.
"Watch out!" The attack hit its mark, giving Ash no time to react. Both the Crystal Blossom and Crystal Sprout simultaneously unleashed a shower of glittering gems.
It is an energy gem.
"Raichu, use Light Screen!" Shinji's support was even faster than Yaji's command.
Thump! Thump! Thump! The Power Gem smashed into the wall of light, but the iron tracks remained completely undamaged!
"Great teamwork!" President Yeci clapped his hands approvingly. "But how about this move! Magic Dazzling!!"
Buzz! A dazzling seven-colored light shone from the center of the crystal flower, and for a moment the entire area was blinded.
Shinji nodded to Ash: "Raichu, protect!"
Ash instantly understood: "Iron tracks. Earth Power!!"
Snap! In the blinding vision, a beam of concentrated magical light suddenly struck the light shield—it was Crystal Sprout's sneak attack!
Fortunately, Raichu's light shield held up remarkably well!
As the magical flash faded, everyone stared wide-eyed. Where were the iron tracks?! Where had that huge iron track gone?!
“There!” Poppi suddenly looked up.
The iron tracks had somehow appeared above the Crystal Flower!
"That's Raichu's psychic power!" Ye Ci suddenly realized. However, it was too late.
Huge iron tracks descended from the sky, as the four legs exerted force!
Boom!! The power of the earth erupted directly, and the earth-yellow energy was transmitted from the Crystal Flower and Crystal Sprout to the ground, causing the earth to shatter into pieces!!
*Thud!* The Crystal Sprout collapsed on the spot, and the Crystal Flower also swayed precariously.
"Raichu, Iron Tail!!" Raichu, following closely behind, swung its large tail, the black iron-colored tail slashing down forcefully.
Boom!! One shot, one kill!!
Ash and Shinji, without even looking to the side, raised their fists and bumped them, defeating him!
