Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 364 An Unbreakable Move, Next Round of Competition

In the first round of combat, Shinji achieved a great victory.

This Aggron is indeed much stronger than the Grovyle; its level and strength are clearly the result of careful and dedicated training.

Having established his advantage, Shinji's next step was naturally to press forward and end the battle as quickly as possible.

"Keep using heavy-hitting punches!"

The forest tortoise, which has become cumbersome after evolution, has no way to avoid a heavy impact.

Therefore, when these turret-type Pokémon battle, it's basically a simple contest of who has better attack power and who has better stamina.

Simple, boring, and uninteresting.

However, Ash had already asked Professor Oak's former companions in the backyard of his lab to teach the Torterra a few useful skills.

This includes—

"Hold on."

"Ha~ya~"

The pale green barrier opened instantly just as the powerful impact was about to hit.

This time, the heavy-hitting impact failed to demonstrate its true power.

Aggron's heavy body was blocked by the barrier and could not be approached. When the white light on Aggron's body dissipated, the seed attached to it began to take root and sprout again.

Soon, as the vines enveloped Aggron's body once again, some of its stamina would be converted into that of the Forest Turtle.

Ash, seizing the moment when Aggron was unable to retaliate, quickly issued the command to counterattack—

"Super Absorption!"

"Ha~ya~"

The forest tortoise gently raised its forelimbs.

Four or five thorny vines broke through the soil and, together with the vines bearing parasitic seeds, tightly wrapped around Aggron's body.

A pale green light flashed continuously, not only on Aggron but also on Turtle.

"Cannon beam!"

A hint of impatience flashed in Shinji's eyes.

Given the level difference between the two, Bosscodora should have ended the match within three rounds.

But unexpectedly, the situation was slowly tilting in a direction that was not good for him.

Parasitic seeds, super absorption.

Neither of these two skills is considered a major threat.

However, if Shinji is not mistaken.

The strategy that Ash is planning to use in this round might just be—

"Hold on!"

"Ha~ya~!"

really.

When Shinji chose to attack the Torterra for the second time, Ash once again chose to use Protect.

The powerful cannon beam still proved powerless when faced with a barrier that could withstand almost any attack.

The smoke and dust cleared.

The forest turtle's injuries did not worsen; instead, they were slowly recovering.

And Aggron was once again ravaged by parasitic seeds.

If this drags on, things might really get out of hand.

Substitution?

Shinji had considered this question before.

The best way to break through this tactic is to choose a Pokémon with a higher agility level, or to send out your own Torterra.

But wouldn't that mean he's admitting that even with his level advantage, he still can't do anything to Ash? That's not like him at all.

Moreover, even if Shinji did choose to trade Pokémon, wouldn't Ash make the same choice?

Under this rule where both sides have the right to exchange Pokémon, the side that fails to break through the opponent's defense first is essentially losing the combat power of a Pokémon.

"A major shock!"

With that in mind, Shinji no longer hesitated and immediately commanded Aggron to launch a new round of attacks.

"Super Absorption!"

Xiao Zhi continued to follow the established procedures and push forward with his ideas.

The vines wrapped around Aggron's body again, but Aggron remained unaffected, allowing the forest turtle to absorb its energy.

A silvery-white light wrapped around Aggron's body.

It charged forward relentlessly, taking heavy and destructive steps, and quickly approached the forest turtle.

With a loud crash, the forest turtle was sent flying again.

The vines that had been wrapped around Bosscodora all retracted, losing their emerald green luster.

"Don't stop! Keep using the metal claw!"

The success of this attack did not put Shinji at ease.

After all, when facing such a shameless fighting style, you must seize every opportunity to attack, so that the Grovyle has no time to slowly drain Aggron's stamina with Leech Seed and engage in a protracted battle with them.

All attacks must be completed within a few rounds.

Metal claws.

Ash breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Shinji's command.

One powerful skill after another kept coming. Even though the forest turtle usually trained its stamina and defense, even the strongest shield would eventually be breached.

However, skills like Metal Claw are easier to deal with.

After all, the metal claw's strength lies in its fast attack speed, but its power...

Photosynthesis!

Shinji: "?!"

Ash had his last move in mind.

It's not an attack-type skill, but rather photosynthesis.

The bright, blazing sun continued to cast its intense rays.

The forest tortoise, which had been sent flying, suddenly opened its eyes. The small bushes on its back swayed gently, and soon its body was covered by the blazing sun. The pain it had shown just a moment ago disappeared under the sunlight, and the tortoise returned to its usual calm.

Even though Aggron had already closed in on it.

The metal claws had already swung down.

But despite the constant barrage of attacks from Aggron, Torterra didn't budge an inch.

Although a fleeting look of pain would occasionally flash across the forest tortoise's face, that momentary pain would quickly vanish under the sunlight.

obviously.

The damage caused to a forest turtle by a metal claw is less than the amount of energy it can recover through photosynthesis.

Upon witnessing this scene, Shinji found himself struggling to breathe.

so tired.

Normally, it's he who designs the situations that put the opposing trainer in a desperate situation.

As a result, the roles of offense and defense have now shifted.

Those who rely on tactics are definitely not good people!

Their hearts are filthy!

But if we change the attack strategy now, the outcome will definitely be—

"A major shock!"

"Hold on!"

It's exactly the same!

The exact same scene is playing out again on the shores of Wise Lake!

Even Hikaru, who was watching from the sidelines, began to feel sorry for Shinji.

If it were her in this match, she definitely wouldn't want to continue.

"Won't Shinji suffer psychological trauma from this kind of comparison?"

Hikaru asked this question out of genuine concern for Shinji.

However, asking such a question during a competition is somewhat inappropriate.

Even though Hikaru had deliberately lowered his voice, Shinji on the field could still hear it.

Shinji's facial muscles twitched visibly twice, but he ultimately suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down.

"call--"

Although being defeated by this style of fighting made Shinji feel somewhat ashamed.

But if they continue to push their luck at this point and Aggron actually loses to Torterra, that would be truly shameful.

"return."

With no other choice, Shinji decided to recall Aggron.

After being attacked by Mega Drain and Leech Seed for so many rounds, although it hasn't suffered too much damage yet, its stamina is estimated to be down by one-third. If it continues to delay changing the timing, Aggron might end up like Staraptor and Ursaring, struggling to survive.

"Go back and get some rest, Wood Tortoise. You did a great job."

In contrast to Shinji's somber expression, Ash's smile grew even wider.

As Ash progresses in catching more Pokémon, the team he can focus on training and nurturing can only consist of a few.

As for Pokémon like Staraptor and Shellder.

He could only entrust the training to his companions in the backyard of Oak's lab, asking them to help with the special training. All he could do was explain the training content to them and check the results of the training regularly.

Regarding the training of the Forest Torterra, Professor Oak said that Bulbasaur put in the most effort and was also the most responsible.

Despite being much smaller than Torterra, according to Professor Oak, Torterra will be scolded by Bulbasaur if it fails to complete its daily training tasks.

They might even be cornered and trembling in fear by Bulbasaur.

Just imagining that scene is quite interesting.

Bulbasaur and Torterra must have had a tough time.

......

They really did change it.

After determining Ash's battle style for the day, Shinji was prepared for a full-scale battle, but he still felt fatigued after seeing Ash switch Pokémon again.

Ash gave him a feeling that was different from all the trainers he had ever battled.

Even Cynthia is the same.

Of course, the difference in strength between Shinji and Cynthia was simply too great, which prevented Shinji from fully probing Cynthia's true command abilities.

A strategic game of command between Light Theory trainers.

The battle with Ash felt like facing a war.

His instructions, his thoughts.

Even his Pokémon attacks.

They seep into every nook and cranny, giving him no chance to rest and think properly.

No matter how powerful his trump card was, Ash always seemed to have an even more powerful one waiting for him.

Despite having only such a short travel experience, he commanded battles with the ease of a seasoned general, his every move revealing his wealth of experience and the wonder of his mind.

Thinking about this.

His usually frozen expression has softened a little.

Even though winning the battle would be difficult against such a formidable opponent, Shinji couldn't help but let a slight smile appear on his lips.

Even though it only lasted a second, it was noticed by the onlookers.

Just as everyone was surprised by Shinji's change in expression, Shinji himself did not notice anything unusual. He simply threw a Poké Ball at the same time as Ash.

No one wants to take advantage of the other first.

"Mavira, prepare for battle!"

"I choose you! Swimsuit Itachi!"

Strength and strength.

Sky and sky.

Forests and mines.

This time it is.

Clear water and solid ice.

Even without any communication or discussion between them, Ash and Shinji inexplicably seemed to have reached an agreement.

At the same time, two Pokémon that were somewhat subtly similar were dispatched.

This round is a contest between water and ice.

From an attribute perspective, the Water-type Swim-It has a slight advantage because Water-type Pokémon are resistant to Ice-type moves, while Ice-type Pokémon have to take the damage from Water-type moves.

But this is only from the perspective of attributes.

If Ice-type moves are powerful enough, Swim Itachi may face a situation where he won't even be able to control the water flow he creates.

Neither side's Pokémon had been defeated, so there was no need for the referee to announce the start of the match; Ash and Paul immediately began their actions.

"Freeze Ray!"

Shinji launched the first attack.

There isn't much information about Focalid. Although Ash's Focalid didn't evolve, it is still Ash's Pokémon, so Shinji can't afford to be careless.

"Water Ripple!"

In the first round of combat, neither side used any unusual moves.

Water Ripple VS Freeze Ray.

The two skills clashed in mid-air, but this collision didn't produce anything particularly amazing.

The water ripples and the freezing rays collided, creating only a small ripple in the air before dissipating.

This means that, in a casual attack, the difference in power between Swimsuit and Weavile is not significant.

Therefore, the situation mentioned earlier is unlikely to occur here.

"Metal Claw!"

After assessing the strength of both sides, Shinji did not continue with a cautious approach, but instead chose to let Weavile get close to test Itachi's true strength.

"Sonic boom!"

"Hey!"

Facing the Weavile rushing towards it at high speed, the Swim-Style Weasel leaped high into the air, its long tail sweeping out powerfully, unleashing several sharp, circular sonic waves.

However, the attack of the Swimsuit Weasel failed to stop Weavile's steps. Its mouth curled up slightly, as if it was showing off its strength to the Swimsuit Weasel. Its claws, which were covered in silver-white light, were held horizontally in front of its chest, and several sonic booms exploded on the metal claws.

Black smoke swirled around, but as it dissipated, Weavile burst through the smoke, leaping up to the same height as Swimsuit. It tilted its body and then spun around sharply, its sharp right claw slicing across Swimsuit's body.

The impact of the metal claws sent the Swim-Style Weasel flying, landing directly in the calm Lake Wisdom.
