Chapter 1192: Ash vs. Local Ash! (Part 2)
Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
"Damn it, is he looking down on me? I choose you, Swellow!!"
Local Ash felt that Ash was merely going easy on him, and his battle intent flared up once more.
The magnificent Swellow spread its wings, its red-marked face looking particularly majestic.
Ash's move made everyone's gaze turn fervent.
The second one, what is it?!
That Dragon God Pillar can't battle, so will it be a new Legendary Pokémon?!
Or four Magikarp?!
Everyone wished they could strip this Trainer they were calling Tobias bare and see everything he had.
“I choose you...!”
Ash didn't try to be mysterious, tossing the Poké Ball high into the air.
"Wuuu~~!!"
A melodious and graceful cry rang out as a red-and-white dragon soared high into the sky, circling above everyone.
Its streamlined body was like a small jet.
It had a long, slender neck, and its small head resembled that of a human girl, making it look exceptionally cute.
Each floor of the Battle Tower was over ten meters high, barely allowing for indoor aerial combat.
"It appeared, it's Latias!"
"It's really another Legendary Pokémon, again!!"
"Latias is so cute!!"
Latias's appearance, though at the same altitude as Swellow, instantly ignited the entire arena, capturing everyone's attention.
Every Pokémon he sends out is a Legendary Pokémon. Just who is this person?!
Except for the Pikachu on his shoulder, which kind of lowered the standard... though its grayish-white special form could barely be considered rare, I guess.
This guy... don't tell me all his Pokémon are Legendaries?!
"Beep! Swellow versus Latias, the battle begins!"
The robot referee didn't understand any of this. It finally recognized the Pokémon sent out this time and issued the battle prompt.
This prompted the two aerial creatures to begin a high-speed chase, circling various positions in the sky within the Battle Tower's room.
"Swellow, use Wing Attack!!"
However, it was clear that Swellow was more aggressive.
Its wings were enveloped in a white light as it closed in on its target again, swinging them to strike!
But Latias continuously dodged.
VROOOM...!!
The roaring engine-like blast from its flight gave it extreme speed, and for a moment, Swellow couldn't catch up to its target.
"In that case, use Aerial Ace!!"
Local Ash quickly changed tactics.
"Sbaaa~!!"
Swellow spun in the sky, its speed suddenly doubling.
The white light on its wings transferred entirely to its beak, transforming into a sharp, piercing charge!
"In that case, Latias, use Dragon Pulse!!"
Seeing this, Ash also chose to meet it with a frontal attack.
Latias nodded in understanding, turning and bracing its body. It opened its mouth, and a beam of rainbow-colored energy shot out!!
Swellow did not retreat. Using Aerial Ace with all its might, it resolutely charged into the Dragon Pulse!
However, it had clearly underestimated its opponent's power.
The terrifying impact of the Dragon Pulse first tore through the Aerial Ace. Then, the fearsome draconic energy violently exploded on Swellow's body!!
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
A massive explosion erupted in mid-air.
The next second, Swellow's body fell vertically out of the black smoke, unable to battle.
"Swellow!?"
Local Ash's gaze tightened. He hadn't expected another clean and decisive battle.
"My Latias doesn't like to battle, but she's holding the Soul Dew. The power of her moves isn't something Aerial Ace can withstand."
Ash simply stated in a low voice.
"Wuu wuu~!"
Latias circled once in the sky before landing beside Ash again, affectionately nuzzling its head against his cheek.
"Tch, I only have one Pokémon left!"
On the other side, Local Ash's expression kept changing, finally settling on one of do-or-die desperation.
"I'm counting on you, Pikachu! You have to defeat it!!"
"Pika!!"
This Pikachu's gaze was resolute. It immediately leaped onto the battlefield, its electric sacs crackling with power.
It wasn't like Ash's Pikachu, whose first reaction upon encountering a powerful enemy it couldn't match was to avoid the fight. This one, however, would always fight!
No matter how strong the opponent, this Pikachu would never show a hint of fear.
"What do you say, Pikachu? Do you feel ashamed?"
This display made Ash look at the lazy Pikachu on his own shoulder.
Is it possible... that his Pikachu was once just like the one opposite him?
"Pika~"
However, Pikachu was completely unfazed, lying there without any intention of moving.
It had been scared stiff by the Black Rayquaza; its physical body needed a month to recover.
But its spirit might need a year to recover...
Ash: "..."
The final battle officially began!
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!!"
Right off the bat, it was its signature Thunderbolt. A powerful electric current shot out, forming a writhing electric snake.
"Dragon Pulse!"
However, the Dragon Pulse fired by Latias, empowered by the boost from the Soul Dew, directly pushed back the Thunderbolt and attacked its source.
This forced Pikachu to hastily dodge, looking back with lingering fear at the spot where the move had exploded.
BOOM-WHOOSH!!
However, a second Dragon Pulse was already shooting towards it!
"In that case, Pikachu, use Steel Tail!!"
Pikachu leaped up, spinning its body and striking the incoming Dragon Pulse head-on with its Steel Tail.
"Pika..."
But after only a moment's stalemate, Pikachu let out a wail of pain. Its Steel Tail was overpowered, and its entire body was sent flying by the Dragon Pulse.
"Damn it, even Steel Tail won't work?!"
Local Ash's face was incredibly grim, as if this were the final, life-or-death match... he had completely forgotten that he was at an absolute disadvantage.
At least, I have to take down one!
"I've got it!"
Watching Latias circle back and forth in the sky, Local Ash's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Pikachu, get on its body!"
The next moment, as Latias swept past overhead, the Pikachu on the ground suddenly vanished.
Sharp-eyed spectators could already see Pikachu clinging to Latias's back.
"Wha-?!"
This made Latias's expression turn frantic. It twisted its body constantly in mid-air, trying to fling Pikachu off.
"Now's the time, use Thunderbolt!!"
Local Ash, however, swept his thumb forward. At point-blank range, this was the perfect time to attack!
"Pika, chu!!"
Pikachu also gritted its teeth. A powerful electric current immediately burst from its body, scoring a direct hit on Latias.
BZZZT-BOOM...!!
Amidst the electric glow, Latias curled its whole body in pain, letting out a pained cry as paralysis took hold.
"Pikachu, keep using Thunderbolt!!"
"Latias, use Light Screen!!"
Thunderbolt erupted again, but Latias had already put up a Light Screen.
BZZZT-BOOM...!!
This time, the Thunderbolt burst across Latias's body again, but the pain was significantly reduced.
