Chapter 107: This single move turned the tide of the battle.
"This...is..."
"Photosynthesis combined with Super Absorption—did these two skills completely negate the power of Solar Flare?"
Xiao Gang, with his greater experience in combat, immediately understood what the forest turtle had done upon seeing the scene, but—
"Multitasking?" Cai Zhong crossed her arms and nodded, saying, "For Torterra and the Torterra that it will evolve into later, learning to multitask is indeed very important. Being able to use two skills at the same time can turn the disadvantage of speed into an advantage."
The advantage of the vegetable variety is, of course, the aspect of lowering the opponent's guard.
After all, even she, a master of Grass-type Pokémon, hadn't expected that this Torterra could multitask. Now it seems the trouble is on her side.
"Magic Leaf!"
After simply expressing its appreciation, Caizhong immediately launched a counterattack.
Sakura, trapped by the Super Absorb vines, moved its body, and instantly a burst of leaves covered in blue light erupted from around it. The sharp leaves instantly shredded the Super Absorb vines, while the remaining leaves that did not obstruct the flow continued to attack the Forest Turtle.
"Flying Leaf Blade!"
With no other options available and given Torterra's limited movepool, Ash had no choice but to resort to Razor Leaf as a last resort.
However, Razor Leaf has one major disadvantage compared to Magic Leaf: Pokémon's control over it.
"Avoid the flying leaf blades, then dodge past them yourself!"
With the issuance of various commands, the magic leaf, which was originally about to collide with the flying leaf blade, completely changed its original trajectory in the blink of an eye.
Although some leaves still collided, they fell helplessly to the ground.
Meanwhile, with the help of chlorophyll, Sakura Treasure's speed remained at a very high level. In fact, the previous defeat seemed to have made Sakura Treasure work even harder, and several afterimages of Sakura Treasure had already appeared on the field.
"boom--"
The magic leaf, having dodged the flying leaf blades, landed on the forest turtle, which was unable to move. The constant pain made the forest turtle squint its eyes.
What should I do?
At this moment, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but start asking himself questions.
Although he was caught off guard in the first round, how should he deal with it afterward? If it's just a regular, fast-moving Forest Turtle, it can still suppress the opponent with its own strength.
However, when faced with Pokémon that possess chlorophyll properties under bright sunlight...
"?!"
Just then, an idea seemed to flash through Ash's mind.
No response?
Ash used to be able to react to his commands in the shortest amount of time, but why is he not making a sound now? Is he no longer able to deal with Sakura's speed, or is he planning something?
Cai Zhong's suspicions only flashed through her mind for a moment, after all, even a Grass-type Pokémon expert like her couldn't figure out how Torterra could win.
After all, it has already revealed most of its skills: photosynthesis, leaf blade, and super absorption.
If it had some hidden skill that could break the current situation, it wouldn't be able to continue to endure it. That's why the vegetable was able to conclude that Ash and Torterra had been driven to the brink of despair.
In that case...
"Keep using Magic Leaf!"
Then continue to use mid-to-long-range skills to slowly whittle down the forest turtle's stamina.
Photosynthesis!
Faced with the constant pressure from the vegetable seeds, Ash seems to have truly run out of ideas, and can only let Torterra rely on photosynthesis to take the beating for nothing.
"Why doesn't Ash switch out Torterra...? There's no point in continuing this competition, is there?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Xiao Guang couldn't help but ask this question.
"I don't know." Even the experienced Brock was at a loss. "But in this situation, it's best to trust Ash... Ash's creativity and unpredictability will always catch people off guard... If you easily think that Ash has no way out in a battle, you will definitely suffer a great loss."
Yes, including myself back in Pewter Gym.
Ash couldn't hear what Dawn and the others were thinking. His gaze was fixed on the field, and his fingers were shaking in a certain order as he did during training. Torterra's gaze also occasionally crossed with Ash's hand gestures.
They were all waiting for the right opportunity.
Still no response?
Seeing that Ash and Torterra had no intention of resisting even in this situation, Nash felt a little disappointed.
Although the Forest Turtle will have a hard time dealing with fast-moving opponents due to its limited skills, what's the point of just taking hits?
Okay, let's leave it at that.
With that thought in mind, Cai Zhong issued the final instruction—
"Full power! Solar Flare, end the battle!"
"Chin!"
Upon hearing this, Sakura immediately stopped using the magic leaf and began to gather sunlight again.
On the other side, Ash's lips curled up involuntarily. Without even needing his command, Torterra couldn't help but raise its front legs and then slam them heavily to the ground.
Is it some new skill? But it's useless.
Cai Zhong thought to himself.
With such a long distance between Sakura and Torterra, no matter what move Torterra plans to use, Sakura can successfully launch Solar Beam. Torterra's defeat is already a foregone conclusion!
Although that's what Cai Zhong thought, the forest tortoise's next move completely shattered her understanding.
"on!"
"Clam!"
The instant the forest tortoise landed, countless thorny vines shot up along the boundary of the area, but their target was not Cherry Blossom Treasure. They simply converged towards the sky, eventually forming an impenetrable wall of thorns.
"?!"
At this moment, the vegetable seed seemed to realize something, and its gaze subconsciously turned towards the location of Sakura Treasure.
At this moment, Sakura was no longer exposed to sunlight, and the blazing sunlight that had almost fully coalesced was slowed down due to the super absorption blocking the sunlight.
With just this one move, the instantaneous solar flames and chlorophyll were sealed off, leaving Sakura Treasure with nowhere to escape within the domain formed by the super absorption.
"That's it, control as many vines as possible! Super Absorption!"
"Clam!"
Under the control of the forest turtle, most of the vines fell to the ground like living tentacles, stirring up a thick cloud of dust.
The loud noise echoed throughout the entire dojo.
