Chapter 439 A Comprehensive Lead?
"Mr. Denji, the battle is still ongoing."
Ash, seeing Denji deep in thought about Pikachu's energy storage problem, spoke up to remind him.
You can't get distracted during a battle.
At the same time, without the slightest hesitation, he commanded, "Pikachu, use Quick Attack!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu responded to Ash's command, its body instantly enveloped in dazzling white lightning.
The lightning bolt streaked through the air like a meteor, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, and hurtled towards Raichu like a white lightning bolt.
Denji suddenly snapped out of his daze, immediately banishing all the "impossible" and "why" questions from his mind and focusing all his attention on the battle before him.
"Raichu, tie a knot with the straw rope!"
Although Dianci's response was somewhat hasty, it was mostly one of excitement.
Raichu's tail swept lightly across the ground, the movement elegant and swift.
Several green vines formed from grass-based energy rose from the ground, growing and spreading rapidly as if they had come to life.
These vines intertwined, forming countless knots that blocked Pikachu's path, attempting to stop its attack.
Will they still use this skill?
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiaozhi's eyes, and he immediately changed his mind.
"Pikachu, cancel Quick Attack and dodge with Speed!"
Xiao Zhi's voice was decisive and calm.
Pikachu reacted extremely quickly. Just as it was about to run into the grass rope and trip over it, it suddenly stopped, and the light around its body disappeared.
Then, with its amazing speed and agility, it weaved through the gaps in the vines.
Every movement was perfectly timed, brushing past the vines without getting hurt, as if dancing on the edge of a knife, narrowly avoiding the attack of the grass rope knot.
After successfully overcoming the obstacle of the grass rope, Pikachu didn't stop and continued to accelerate, instantly appearing behind Raichu.
"Now! Pikachu, Iron Tail!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu let out a loud shout, leaping high into the air, its body tracing a graceful arc in the air, its tail gleaming with a dazzling metallic sheen as it slashed fiercely at Raichu with the force of a thousand pounds.
However, at this critical moment, Raichu twisted his body at an incredible angle.
"Ray!" Raichu turned around with a mocking smile on his lips.
Its paw shot out with lightning speed, precisely blocking Pikachu's iron tail and preventing it from hitting it.
"boom!"
Iron Tail and Raichu's palms collided, producing a dull thud.
A powerful shockwave emanated from the two points and spread outwards, kicking up dust from the ground.
Pikachu's attack was blocked, but Raichu paid a price for it.
Its palms trembled slightly from the immense force it had endured, and the muscles in its arms could be clearly seen twitching slightly.
However, Denji didn't leave Raichu's other hand idle. With one hand restrained by Pikachu's Iron Tail, he swung it out with the other hand—
"Lightning Fist!"
"thunder!"
It quickly gathered a lightning fist, crackling with electricity, and slammed it into Pikachu's body at such a speed that its movements were almost invisible.
"Pikachu!!"
Pikachu cried out in pain as its body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string by the powerful force of the Thunder Punch. It flew through the air in an arc before crashing heavily to the ground.
"Pikachu!"
“Pikachu…”
Pikachu struggled to its feet, shaking its head as it tried to stay awake, its eyes still brimming with fighting spirit.
Ash looked at Pikachu, who had already stood up, and thought to himself:
As expected of a strong candidate for the Four Heavenly Kings, Denji's strength is indeed impeccable.
His Raichu, whether in terms of reaction speed, physical coordination, or terrifying explosive power, is astonishing. Lt. Surge's Raichu and Denji's Raichu are not even in the same league.
Ash was completely absorbed in the battle, oblivious to what he was thinking.
After Raichu knocked Pikachu away, Denji immediately launched a new offensive.
"Raichu, Volt Attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Raichu was instantly enveloped in dazzling golden lightning. The lightning-encased Raichu resembled a long-dormant ferocious beast, radiating destructive power from head to toe.
The next second, Raichu's body transformed into a golden lightning bolt, rushing towards Pikachu with overwhelming force. Only a golden afterimage darted across the field, leaving behind dazzling streaks of light.
"Pikachu, let's use Volt Attack too!"
Faced with Raichu's thunderous attack, Ash did not back down at all. He chose to meet it head-on, responding to Electric's challenge in the most direct and forceful way.
He also wanted to see if Pikachu, with the help of the Electric Ball, could break through its previous limits in such a clash of forces.
"Pikachu!!"
Pikachu responded to Ash's expectations without backing down.
Lightning enveloped its entire body, and Pikachu transformed into a golden bolt of lightning, charging towards Raichu with unstoppable momentum.
Two bolts of lightning collided violently in the center of the field, unleashing a deafening roar, like two meteors colliding.
The powerful electric currents collided and squeezed each other, as if trying to tear the air apart, and the entire battlefield was filled with electric light and the smell of burning.
Denji originally thought that, thanks to the advantages of evolution, even though Raichu's energy storage was somehow inferior to Pikachu's, it should still be able to easily surpass Pikachu in terms of power.
However, the result was beyond his expectations.
Pikachu's Volt attack is actually more powerful.
The current it releases is not only more condensed, but also more violent, seemingly endless.
Raichu was clearly at a disadvantage in the clash with Pikachu. Its body was actually knocked back by Pikachu's Volt Tackle attack, and it almost lost its balance and fell to the ground. Every step back seemed extremely difficult.
"How could this be..."
Denji's eyes widened in disbelief; he couldn't comprehend what was happening before his eyes.
Is it not just about energy storage, but also about the power that Raichu is more proud of?
Isn't this Pikachu a little too unconventional?
Pikachu once again shattered Denji's understanding of the world.
but.
fair enough.
At least in some sense, this shows that his training of Pokémon was not up to par.
If he could, he really wanted to have a proper discussion with Ash about breeding Electric-type Pokémon, but unfortunately...
The battle is still ongoing.
And he will win!
"Raichu! Use Surf!"

P.S.: I didn't expect to be staying out today and unable to go home. I typed the whole thing on my phone in the hotel. I'll fix any issues when I get back tomorrow afternoon, and I'll catch up on all the missed updates tomorrow.
