Chapter 39 The King of the Forest
"Rustling sound~ rustling sound~~"
The rustling sound coming from the bushes caught Ash and his friends' attention. Without Ash giving any further instructions, Pikachu and Aipom had already moved in front of him, ready to deal with any enemies that might appear at any moment.
"Make sure you see who it is before you act, so you don't hurt anyone," Ash reminded him.
Although few people would accidentally wander into the Forest of Confusion, at least at this time, besides himself, there were also Dawn, Brock, and Shinji in the Forest of Confusion. If it really was them who came, it would be bad to make a rash move, which is why Ash gave this advice.
However, Ash's worries were clearly unnecessary. Before Pikachu and Aipom could answer his question, several Stunning Deer emerged from the bushes and began charging straight towards them.
"100,000 Volts! High-Speed Star!"
Ash knew about wild Stunners, especially those that lived in groups in the forest. They would hypnotize any outsiders without hesitation. That's why Ash didn't hesitate to command Pikachu and Aipom to attack after confirming that the opponent was a Stunner.
only......
"Pikachu?"
"OKI?"
Pikachu and Aipom, who were preparing to attack, realized the moment they launched their attack that the Stunning Deer's attention didn't seem to be on them. The Stunning Deer just looked back in a panic and then hurriedly ran away from Ash and the others.
"Skin?"
"OKI~"
Watching the Stunted Deer disappear into the distance, the two Pokémon let out puzzled cries.
"Running away? And looking so scared... Could it be..."
Just as Ash's thought crossed his mind, a heavy footstep sound came along with the sound of the Stunted Deer fleeing. Looking up, they saw a giant Ursaring nearly 2.5 meters tall appear in front of them. After giving them a disdainful glance, it launched Hyper Beam without saying a word.
"Continue the original attack!"
Sure enough, encountering a circle bear in the wild was never a good thing; in the blink of an eye, it started attacking them like a madman.
Fortunately, Pikachu and Aipom's attacks did not completely relax after the Stunning Deer left, which is why they were able to launch a counterattack the instant Ursaring launched its Hyper Beam.
"boom--"
The high-speed star collided violently with a 100,000-volt destructive ray.
A gust of wind arose from the point where the two attacks met, and its residual force was so great that Ash had to take several steps back before he could barely steady himself.
This is extraordinary...
Looking at Ursaring, which still looked majestic even after using Hyper Beam, Ash couldn't help but praise it in his heart.
Although Ash wasn't a Pokémon professor, this was the first time he had ever fought a Ursaring of such a large size in his many years of travel experience, and its strength was clearly beyond that of a wild Pokémon.
The king of the forest?
As Xiao Zhi thought this, he became excited.
"Aipom, back off! Pikachu, go forward! Get ready to capture!"
"Pickup!"
"OKI~"
Upon hearing that Ash was going to catch the Ursaring, Pikachu became excited, while Aipom was somewhat dejected.
Although it could tell from the previous exchange that its strength was far inferior to that of the Ursaring, the fact that it couldn't fight it head-on still made Aipom feel a little down.
"A flash of lightning!"
Ash sensed Aipom's feelings, but with the enemy right in front of him, it wasn't the time to talk about such things. What Ash needed to do now was defeat Ursaring as quickly as possible.
"Pickup!"
Pikachu's figure flashed by, then disappeared from the spot, quickly running towards Ursaring's location.
Although Ursaring's expression remained terrifying after using Hyper Beam, it was merely putting on a show. The stiffness after using Hyper Beam persisted, giving Pikachu an opportunity to attack.
"boom--"
A muffled thud came from Ursaring's chest. After taking the hit head-on from Pikachu's Quick Attack, Ursaring's expression didn't change at all; if anything, it just looked even more ferocious.
Although the power of the lightning strike is not particularly strong, it is the best choice when you need to seize the time to attack.
"Roar!"
Circle Bear roared, and a white light emanated from its right hand, making it look very heavy.
Arm hammer.
Xiao Zhi immediately made his judgment.
It even knows how to use an arm hammer, and it looks quite skilled at it. This circle bear is indeed of a very high level.
"Iron Tail!"
Although it would be easy to dodge this attack, Ash wanted to roughly assess the power difference between Ursaring and Pikachu, so he chose to confront it head-on.
"Pickup!"
Pikachu swung its Iron Tail with all its might, and the two attacks collided, producing another explosive sound. This time, Pikachu was slightly disadvantaged and was thrown away, but it still landed safely on the ground without suffering too much damage.
"Roar!"
Seeing that it had won the contest of strength, the circle bear roared as if celebrating.
After all, these are Pokémon that live in the wild, and their biggest weakness is their ability to judge situations. Faced with this Ursaring, Ash simply gave the order casually.
"Charge! 100,000 Volts!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu took another step, its body crackling with electricity. This time, Pikachu's aura was noticeably different from before. After its STAB moves were unlocked, Pikachu's expression also became much more confident.
"Roar!"
Seeing Pikachu charging forward without any fear, Ursaring's temper became even more violent.
Having roamed the forest for so long, this was the first time it had encountered an opponent who wasn't afraid of it. Normally, not to mention its destructive power, if it were to strike with its arm, who in the forest wouldn't give way to it? Even its own kind would be no exception.
Today, this tiny yellow mouse dared to act arrogantly in front of him, which naturally made Circle Bear furious.
Faced with the crackling, flickering electricity, the teddy bear neither dodged nor evaded, but instead took the full force of the 100,000-volt attack head-on. And it did this for one purpose only—
"Roar!"
The arm hammer once again condensed in Ursaring's right arm. It aimed at Pikachu's position, and after confirming that the distance between the two was very close and that Pikachu had no intention of dodging, it fell straight down.
All it wants is a single, decisive blow.
