Chapter 1190: Ash vs. Local Ash! (Part 1)

"I still have to battle this Ash?!"
Standing behind the stage, Ash's eyes lit up when he heard the robot's words.
It was clear that the trainer, Arlon, was powerful. Ash had to give it his all just to barely defeat him.
He hadn't expected to face him in either the singles or doubles brackets, but here they were, clashing after all.
"This is even better!"
This battle had Ash's blood boiling with excitement, making him eager to fight "himself."
Moreover, using this bizarre participant name, Ash subconsciously decided not to hold back. He was prepared to strike hard.
"Tobias?"
On the other side, the Ash who had just won his match raised his head, having also heard the announcement.
By now, he had more or less heard the news from the Double Battle side of the Battle Tower.
A mysterious trainer named Tobias, controlling a legendary Pokémon, had been sweeping through everyone...
No one had even been able to force him to use a second Pokémon.
Of course, the "Dragon God Golem" they spoke of looked more like a stone statue of a Charizard. If it couldn't be released from a Poké Ball, it wouldn't even be recognized as a Pokémon.
Many people were even speculating that Tobias's other four Pokémon were probably just four Magikarp.
"Ash, I watched that guy's battle. He's ridiculously powerful."
"Yeah, it's terrifying."
The local Ash's Supporters also gathered around to offer advice and strategy.
Brock and Max had just found time to watch Ash's match. It was a total steamroll.
Is this guy here just to crush the low-ranks?!
"No matter what, I won't give up."
The local Ash's gaze hardened. He could only take Pikachu to the Battle Tower's Pokémon Center to heal up first.
He had wanted to battle Mr. Juan and obtain the Rain Badge in advance, but now he had no choice but to bite the bullet and face this!
In comparison, Ash was much more relaxed, humming a little tune as he wandered around.
"I wonder where Brother Red and Senior Mewtwo went?"
He hadn't seen the two of them go off to find this local Ash.
They had always been with him. Now that they'd time-traveled, he figured they didn't want to keep staring at his face and had run off to have some fun.
It was clear that this local Ash was a bit similar to him...
But in the last couple of days, he had completely made a name for himself. Walking inside the Battle Tower, people were pointing and whispering everywhere.
Many people even came up to ask Ash for a photograph. It was just that in the resulting pictures, his face was always distorted as if by a divine power, impossible to look at directly.
Half an hour later.
Inside the largest battle room in the Battle Tower.
The spectator stands were already packed with an audience. Down on the field, Ash and the local Ash had taken their places at opposite ends of the arena, facing each other from a distance.
"Why... does it feel like the guy down there is fighting himself?"
A similar feeling arose in everyone's minds.
In the VIP seats to one side sat a gentlemanly middle-aged man dressed in a long blue robe, his face always wearing an elegant smile.
"Mr. Juan, these two are the champions of the single and double battle brackets, respectively. The winner will have an exhibition match with you tomorrow."
An intelligent robot informed him from the side.
Juan nodded, his gaze turning quite cautious as he looked down below.
A trainer with Golem Pokémon... He couldn't afford to be careless and had come in advance to do his homework.
At one end of the arena, the local Ash also stared straight ahead, not daring to be complacent. Even his breathing was tight.
The guy in front of him gave off an extremely strong sense of pressure, far greater than that of the previous trainer named Arlon.
"The rules for this battle are 5v5. The match will end when all of one side's Pokémon are unable to battle!" the robot referee announced.
The rule was proposed by Ash. The local Ash had originally been expecting a Double Battle, but upon hearing it was a Single Battle, he naturally accepted.
Although his goal was to completely defeat his opponent, now that he was actually facing him, a new thought sprouted in the local Ash's mind.
"Just force out his second Pokémon, and I'll count it as a success!"
He was also curious if the person before him, as everyone said, really only had four Magikarp besides his two Golem Pokémon.
The battle began!
"I choose you, Regieleki!!"
"I choose you, Heracross!!"
On the arena, similar opening phrases rang out.
Ash, as unflappable as ever, sent out Regieleki, while on the other side, the local Ash sent out Heracross.
Including Pikachu, he had only caught five Pokémon from the Hoenn Region so far, and his Water-type Corphish would be useless if sent out...
So, just a moment ago, he had called back a Pokémon from his hometown.
"Heracross, use Megahorn!!"
Right off the bat, the local Ash called for the Bug-type's ultimate move.
Its beetle wings vibrating, Heracross's large horn began to glow with a dazzling radiance as it charged straight forward with powerful force!
"Regieleki, use Shock Wave!!"
Ash commanded unhurriedly. He was all too familiar with Heracross!
Regieleki's speed was obviously several levels higher. Heracross hadn't even flown two meters before a beam of electric light shot toward it.
Boom!
The massive explosion sent Heracross flying, interrupting its Megahorn.
"Hera...!"
However, it didn't fall after just one hit. Heracross pushed itself back up.
"In that case, try this... use Hyper Beam!!"
The local Ash raised his hand and pointed, once again unleashing an ultimate move!
"Use Thunderbolt!!"
However, as Regieleki raised its hands, the power of the shooting electric current was doubled by its Transistor ability.
Zzzzt—Boom!
As the lightning and the Hyper Beam clashed, it took only a moment for the latter's orange-yellow energy to be shattered. The attack then landed heavily on its source, Heracross.
BOOM!
A huge explosion erupted, and the impact of the electric current sent Heracross flying before it crashed down onto the ground.
Unable to battle!
"How is that possible?!"
The local Ash had a look of disbelief on his face. His Heracross was an ace fighter, so how was it taken out in just two exchanges?!
For some reason, a bad feeling suddenly surfaced in his heart, sending a chill down his spine.
"You did well. Next up, it's you, Torkoal!!"
The local Ash took a deep breath, recalling Heracross while sending out Torkoal.
He could still make a comeback!
Meanwhile, Ash just watched quietly.
It seemed their team lineups were basically similar, all familiar faces.
"Torkoal, use Flamethrower!!"
Torkoal raised its head, and scorching flames burst forth from its mouth.
"Regieleki, use Thunderbolt!!"
However, Regieleki's Thunderbolt was clearly superior.
Zzzzt... BOOM!
The surging electric current tore through the center of the flames and, with momentum to spare, continued onward to explode violently against Torkoal's body!
When the smoke and dust cleared, Torkoal had been taken down in a single, clean exchange and was already lying collapsed on the ground.
