Chapter 139 Ash's... Choice?
"Using two skills at the same time isn't your exclusive right."
Having finally gotten a good deal out of Ash, Melissa was naturally a little smug.
"...I really didn't expect that."
Ash straightened his slightly crooked baseball cap and returned to the match.
Although he had guessed that the Dream Demon should have a chance to fight back, the speed at which that mental wave was used was simply too fast.
Let alone dodging while distracted, it's difficult to even intentionally dodge this skill alone, not to mention the threat of the magic leaf.
"Well then, it's my turn! Mismagius, keep using Magic Leaf!"
“MI~”
Melissa thought she had found a way to suppress Ash, but Ash didn't seem particularly nervous. Instead, he calmly called out:
"Seize the center position!"
"Ok?"
Ash's command momentarily stunned Melissa, but she quickly guessed Ash's plan after she came to her senses.
"Stop it! Use mental waves!"
“MI!”
As the magic leaf was released, another mental wave swiftly descended from above and struck Swimsuit Itachi.
However, the Swimsuit had learned from its previous experience. When it first started running forward, it did not use its full strength. It was not until Melissa gave the command for the Psychic Wave that the Swimsuit suddenly accelerated and used the speed difference to successfully confuse the Misdreavus and dodge the Psychic Wave's attack.
Although Ash evaded the first wave of danger, Magic Leaf continued its pursuit of the Swimsuit. However, Magic Leaf was no longer of any use to Ash because—
"Counterattack Shield!"
Seeing that the Swimsuit had already arrived in the center of the field, Ash gave the command as expected.
"Hey!"
As before, the Swim-Style Weasel once again used a counterattack shield made of water to sweep across the entire area.
"As expected..."
Melissa muttered to herself, frowning.
To risk injury in order to seize the center position, one must definitely continue to use the counter-punch shield.
Why must it be in the center of the arena? That's because the counterattack shield has a large range. If the Swimsuit Weasel is in the center, there will be almost nowhere to dodge on the entire arena.
This skill is inherently both offensive and defensive; whether or not to engage in combat with Mismagius is entirely in the hands of Itachi.
Even if Mismagius escapes to a higher position to avoid the counterattack shield, who can guess what will happen then... or whether Ash will change his strategy and use Water Gun to attack a single point?
Besides, if you just keep dodging, the game will never end.
But, even so...
“MI~!”
The counterattack shield broke through the encirclement of the magic leaves that Mismagius had released with all its might in an instant. As the magic leaves fell one after another, Mismagius had no means of defense against Swimsuit Itachi.
The Mismagius's body was directly knocked down by the counterattack shield. Facing the knocked-down Mismagius, Ash did not rush to send the Buizel to charge up with Water Jet or Ice Punch, but instead took a more prudent approach.
"water gun!"
"...Dream Demon, use Dark Pulse!"
When Melissa saw that even though Mismagius had been shot down, Ash still refused to let Itachi get close, she knew that the opportunity she had been waiting for had completely disappeared. Not getting close meant that Mismagius's... or rather, Ghost-type Pokémon's ambush ability, would be useless.
"boom!"
The water gun clashed head-on with the evil wave.
If we're talking about levels, Melissa's Mismagius is definitely a higher level, and the power of Dark Pulse is certainly greater than that of Water Gun.
However, after having its stamina depleted so many times, the power of the Dream Demon's attacks was far less than it had been at the beginning.
Even the Dark Pulse only managed a draw against the Water Gun this turn, which was unacceptable to Mismagius and Melissa.
"Go for it! Charge forward and unleash the full power of the Dark Pulse!"
Melissa could no longer hold back. Continuing the match would only lead to her defeat, so she had to make this final attempt.
just.
"Reverse Punch Protective Shield!"
"Hey!"
The final counter-punch shield effectively sealed Melissa's fate, ending her determination to fight back.
The water kept falling on the Dream Demon. After several rounds, the Dream Demon could no longer rely on its willpower to move forward. The next moment, it was knocked back by the whip formed by the water and lost its ability to fight.
.......
"That's already defeated two of Melissa's Pokémon? That's unbelievable..."
Xiao Guang said blankly.
Anyone with a discerning eye who understands Pokémon battles can see that Melissa's strength is definitely not weak. If we only consider the level of her Pokémon, the level of Melissa's first two Pokémon must be higher than that of Buizel.
However, Melissa could not break through this counterattack shield no matter what she did, and as long as Melissa could not break through Ash's attack in one round, she would not be able to win in one round.
.......
"Come back, Misdreavus, you've already tried your best..."
Melissa closed her eyes and recalled Misdreavus, but when her gaze fell on Ash again, she was able to put on a generous smile.
"You are truly amazing. Even among the trainers who have challenged me over the years, you are among the top tier. Your unique counter-attack shield has indeed caused me a lot of trouble... But!"
Melissa changed the subject and threw out her last Poké Ball.
"Defeat it, Ghost Balloon!"
Melissa confidently played her last trump card, the Ghost Balloon.
Although Ghost Balloon only evolved after battling Xiaowang yesterday, Melissa calls it the ace because Ghost Balloon has too many types of moves it can use, plus it has agility that other Ghost-type Pokémon can hardly match.
In summary, Melissa has figured out how to break through the counterattack shield.
only--
"Come back, Swimsuit Itachi."
Melissa: "???"
Xiao Guang, Xiao Gang, Piplup, Pikachu: "???"
The people on the field were all completely bewildered.
Why was it suddenly replaced by Itachi, who was on a winning streak and in high spirits?
Ash's thoughts were beyond their comprehension, and Ash himself was unaware of theirs. After switching out of Foley, Ash simply sent out his next Pokémon as usual.
"I choose you, Night Patrol Spirit!"
