Chapter 135 Shocks the Entire League, Cynthia's Attention
"Can I believe my eyes? Mr. Aju lost again?!"
"Unless there's something wrong with my eyes too, then I'm not mistaken."
"Who is that little boy? He's so strong! He's already defeated two of Mr. Aju's Pokémon in a row!"
"And this second one was defeated using Pikachu! That's a bit too much!"
"Why does that Arbok look like Mr. Akainu's main Pokémon to me?"
"Heh, that's a good joke, but it's not very sophisticated. Mr. Aju's main force is an Elite Four member! You're telling me that an Elite Four member was defeated by a little boy and a Pikachu? Are you kidding me!"
On the surrounding houses, the audience members were all talking and discussing among themselves.
A-Jie's consecutive defeats were indeed surprising to them, after all, very few of the challengers had been able to defeat A-Jie, and they were all basically much older than Ash.
Xiao Zhi has only been traveling for a little over two months, and the childishness on his face hasn't faded yet, so his age can be easily determined at a glance.
Therefore, it's not surprising that you can tell Ash's age.
However, the amateur spectators around them didn't seem to have much of a grasp of the Pokémon's level.
Although they felt that the damage caused by the two sides in these two matches was a bit outrageous, many people did not think about the Elite Four, at most they just wondered if A-Ju had used a professional-level Pokémon.
Previously, A-Ju's battles were mostly against elite-level opponents. Now the battles are more intense and the destructive power is higher, so it is a reasonable guess that he will be upgraded to a professional. As for the Gym Leader, how could a trainer of this age possibly beat a Gym Leader?
Let alone Ash, even among trainers who have traveled for two years, very few can reach the Gym level; those people can basically be called geniuses.
Judging from Ash's appearance, he doesn't seem like a trainer who has been traveling for two years.
Therefore, many people around the scene considered this battle to be a professional-level clash, and even so, it was still quite amazing to them.
A seemingly inexperienced trainer actually defeated a professional-level Pokémon with Pikachu; this level of skill is definitely among the top of the younger generation in Kanto.
However, there were a few people in the crowd with exceptional eyesight who could tell that in both matches, A-Ju used his main Pokémon, which were... Elite Four level!
This means that the two Pokémon that Ash defeated were both Elite Four level Pokémon!
This result was hard for those who knew Aju's Pokémon level to believe. When did it become so easy to defeat a Champion-level Pokémon? And the one who defeated him was a little boy who looked to be at most sixteen years old!
Could this guy look young but actually be in his twenties or thirties?
This speculation is indeed outrageous, but compared to the scene of Pikachu unleashing its Elite Four-level power and defeating an Elite Four-level Pokémon, this outrageous speculation doesn't seem so outrageous after all.
Even if Ash is really in his twenties or thirties, a Pokémon like Pikachu can't be trained simply by having enough time.
As a common Pokémon in Kanto, none of the known powerful trainers use Pikachu as their main Pokémon, and no Pikachu can surpass the professional level.
Even if there are Gym Leaders or Elite Four members, they've already evolved into Raichu. What powerful trainer can keep using Pikachu forever? Isn't that just asking for trouble?
Seriously, if you find someone who can train Pikachu to this level without putting in the hard work, that's absolutely unheard of, unprecedented. Just that alone is enough to leave the surrounding trainers speechless with astonishment.
1T1
After seeing Arbok turned into "charcoal" in the backyard of Professor Oak's lab, Professor Oak and the surrounding Ash Pokémon cheered.
"This kid actually won! That was Arbok, one of Aju's main Pokémon, and even among main Pokémon, it's above average."
He actually won with a Pikachu that's against its own species! Truly worthy of being a trainer from Pallet Town!
Professor Oak praised her, but the words that almost slipped out seemed to be abruptly stopped by him and changed into other phrases, so they sounded slightly strange.
However, since only Ash's Pokémon were around, no one paid attention to Professor Oak's abrupt change in words.
Butterfree, Primeape, and Gengar were all cheering and celebrating for Ash. Gengar even shed a few tears, muttering something like, "The child has grown up and doesn't need him anymore."
These words added a slightly strange look to Professor Oak's excited expression. What the hell? The kid's grown up? Anyone who didn't know better would think Ash was raised by you.
However, on the other hand, Ash's only option when facing Elite Four level Pokémon was to send out Gengar.
If Gengar doesn't intervene, even if Ash uses all his Pokémon together, he still won't be able to defeat a Champion-level Pokémon.
But now, Ash defeated the two Pokémon commanded by the Elite Four trainer without relying on Gengar. This was due to a combination of factors, including information asymmetry, the predictive power of Aura, and the power unleashed by the Pokémon.
Even if Ash were to challenge him again, he might not be able to win.
At least Ash won this match, and if Ash is given more time to grow, he will win even more easily next time he faces Kikyo!
Of course, this is assuming Ash's own abilities are taken into account. As for when Ash will be able to defeat Elite Four Pokémon without relying on his special abilities, that remains to be discussed.
It should be at least after the Quartz Conference.
The strongest Pokémon reached the professional level in just two months, which far exceeded Professor Oak's prediction. However, leveling up beyond the professional level is not so easy, and the Indigo League will begin in almost four months.
If a little AI can train a Gym Leader-level Pokémon in four months, that's considered a success, okay?
"But I'm a little curious. Ash didn't bring me along. Charizard and Pikachu aren't completely defeated yet, but they're basically unable to fight anymore. So who will Ash send out for the last battle?" Gengar's expression turned serious after "shedding tears," and he asked a very earnest question.
That is, what Pokémon Ash will send out as his last Pokémon.
Although he wasn't always by Ash's side, he knew most of Ash's Pokémon.
Besides Charizard and Pikachu, only Gardevoir can rival them.
While Gardevoir is powerful, it's at best on par with Charizard, and can't compare to Pikachu.
Charizard was able to win because it faced the opponent's weakest Pokémon and unleashed its mysterious flames; otherwise, even ten lives wouldn't have been enough to defeat it.
Now that A-Ju has lost two Pokémon, he might send out his ace Pokémon for the last one to ensure victory!
It couldn't possibly be a low-level Heavenly Soil existence.
So if Ash wants to beat Kikyo, his final Pokémon needs to be stronger than Charizard and Pikachu!
Where does Ash have that kind of Pokémon?
Upon hearing this, Professor Oak fell into deep thought. If he had to think of a Pokémon that could be used as a trump card, he couldn't think of any other possibility besides Gengar.
But Gengar is at Professor Oak's lab right now. Ash can't just start fighting it halfway through and then say, "Wait a minute, I'm going to the Pokémon Center to get a Pokémon."
We'll fight again when we get back.
Is this even realistic?!
So what other trump cards does Ash have to deal with Elite Four level Pokémon?
Exclamations of surprise echoed through the streets of Blue Smoke City. Ash had once again defeated an Elite Four Pokémon, and this time it was with a Pikachu!
That's Pikachu!
It's a common, ubiquitous, roadside stray Pokémon in Kanto. It's certainly popular as a pet, but it's only slightly more popular than Rattata in battles.
After all, Rattata's appearance and species are pretty much the same as Pikachu's, but Pikachu can at least evolve into Raichu, although this evolution is a bit costly and requires a Thunder Stone.
If Pikachu could evolve normally, it would be extremely popular with both battle enthusiasts and those who enjoy watching it.
However, now, a novice trainer, using a Pikachu that hasn't evolved into Raichu, defeated Arbok, a snake-type Pokémon that is a natural counter to rats and is also at the Elite Four level with Elite Four-level command.
With all these debuffs stacked up, let alone Pikachu, even Raichu wouldn't know how to win!
But he won anyway!
No words can adequately describe their amazement at this match!
too exaggerated!
Ash's battle against Fuchsia City Gym Leader today is likely to go down in the history of the League!
I used an elite Charizard to battle the Elite Four member Toxicroak, and a pro Pikachu to battle the Elite Four member Arbok, and won both!
Such an abnormal record must be recorded in history.
Shigeru watched Ash enter the arena in front of the TV screen, holding Pikachu, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
At this moment, his heart felt as bitter as if he had eaten gall jasmine.
The difference is too big, it's just too big!
He now has to use all his skills to defeat even elite-level Pokémon, and can only barely win against Rika. On the other hand, Ash has already started battling against the Elite Four!
What the heck?! Are they really traveling together?! Why is there such a huge difference between them?!
You know, in the last battle, his Wartortle could give Pikachu some trouble, although it was quickly defeated.
But the gap shouldn't be this big!
If they were to battle again now, even if Wartortle has evolved into Blastoise, it probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single attack from Pikachu.
"Hey—can't you slow down a bit? I'm risking my life too!"
In a villa in the Sinnoh region: "Okay, I understand, I'm watching now."
"Hmm, I think I started watching from when Pikachu battled Arbok. That Pikachu was really something else."
"Oh? He even defeated a psychic with a high-level Elite Four Pokémon? That final battle looks pretty exciting."
"Fifteen years old? That's much better than me back then. I had already trained Garchomp before I even started this trip."
"Okay, I'll hang up now. Let's talk again after the game."
The woman, dressed in casual loungewear, gently closed the flip phone in her hand and casually placed it on the sofa next to her.
The woman had long, golden hair that fell naturally, adorned with black bows that added a touch of playfulness.
Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and her light gray eyes seemed to contain a faint sense of weariness and tranquility. Her eyelashes were long and thin, her facial features were soft, and her fair skin appeared extremely delicate under the light and shadow.
Her long, slender legs were casually placed on the table in front of the sofa. Under the light, her jade-like legs resembled warm, smooth white jade, delicate and with a soft luster.
This person is Cynthia, the youngest champion in history, known as the Sinnoh Valkyrie!
Cynthia was relaxing at home, enjoying her leisurely vacation, when Kona suddenly called and told her to turn on the TV and watch the live broadcast on the Kanto official channel.
Cynthia, unaware of what was going on, turned on the TV and saw Ash sending out Pikachu to battle Arbok.
With her sharp eye, she could tell at a glance, even through the television, that Pikachu was only at the beginner level of its profession, while Arbok was already at the intermediate level of the Elite Four.
Such a huge difference in level cannot be compensated for by tactics.
Moreover, Ash looks extremely young, perhaps he's only been traveling for less than a year, and his training level is probably not even in the same league as that of the potential Elite Four member, Kikyo.
Theoretically speaking, Ash is destined to lose this match.
Cynthia, who had just started watching the live stream, couldn't understand why such a mismatched match was being broadcast live by the Kanto League's official channel. She also wondered why Kaoru's expression was so serious when facing Ash, a trainer who seemed to be a novice. And why did Lorelei call her to watch the match?
Once the battle began, all of Cynthia's doubts were instantly resolved.
Good heavens, the professional-level Arbok is evenly matched with the Champion-level Arbok—no, not evenly matched, it's completely dominating the Champion-level Arbok!
The moves that Pikachu used were all unheard of, like Electric Acceleration and Floating Fall—I'd never heard of them before.
What's even more outrageous is that a professional-level Pikachu has such strong attack power and ridiculously fast reaction speed. Coupled with those few strange moves, Arbok and Arbok were completely overwhelmed.
She'd seen plenty of high-level matches, and even played quite a few herself, but none of them had ever been as interesting as the one unfolding on TV.
Ash's name was also deeply engraved in her heart.
