Chapter 533 Debut! Infernape VS Electivire, a fateful rematch!
Chapter 533 Debut! Infernape VS Electivire, a fateful rematch!
Light flows, energy is transferred!
The instant Ninjac was recalled to its Poké Ball, all the enhancements it had accumulated instantly transformed into a visible stream of energy, lingering in mid-air on the battlefield, waiting for the next Pokémon to appear.
The entire Suzuran Arena seemed to hold its breath, with countless eyes fixed on Shinji on the field.
Shinji simply smiled and gently tossed the Poké Ball into his hand.
This time he didn't call out the Pokémon's name, as if in response to the audience's expectations.
It was also because he understood that Ash definitely knew which Pokémon he was going to send out.
The red light landed, and the ground trembled slightly.
A burly, imposing figure appeared in the center of the arena.
As soon as it appeared, the two long detonators on its back flashed with dangerous electric light, as if intimidating its opponents.
Shinji chose Electivire as the Pokémon to inherit the baton of power, which is among the top three strongest of all his Pokémon.
"EI!!!"
As soon as Electabuzz appeared, it let out a powerful roar to the sky.
At the same time, the energy from the Iron-Faced Ninja that had been suspended in the air was completely integrated into its body.
Visibly, the electric arcs around the Electrified Beast's body became even more violent, and its aura instantly surged.
The extreme boost to attack power and speed has taken the already terrifying Electivire to a new level.
Did they actually use the baton-passing skill?
Ash looked at the aggressive Electivire on the field and couldn't help but feel a little threatened.
He had considered the possibility that Shinji might use the baton tactic, after all, the various characteristics of Ninjagalyne made it a natural fit as a baton taker.
The only thing that made Ash doubt the use of the baton tactic was the scene in his memory where he fought against Shinji's masked ninja.
Back then, the Iron-Faced Ninja was the main attacker and did not use baton passing.
But this time, Shinji unexpectedly changed his fighting style completely, turning the masked ninja, who was originally difficult to deal with as the main attacker, into a support.
Moreover, it must be admitted that Shinji's choice was extremely brilliant.
The combination of Flash, Shadow Clone, and Guardian, learned by the Iron-Faced Ninja, is almost a universal solution.
This skill set can play a significant role regardless of the type of opponent, creating conditions for subsequent succession.
Shinji is indeed the most formidable opponent...
Ash's gaze involuntarily swept over the Poké Ball at his waist.
Now it's his turn to make a choice.
Shinji had already explained it to him yesterday when he was registering his Pokémon, and he understood what Shinji meant.
The biggest difference between this Suzuran Tournament and the previous one is that Shinji will send out his true ace, Tortoise, to fight.
In the previous Suzuran Tournament, Shinji had already used Torterra in the previous round of battles, and Torterra was seriously injured, making it difficult for it to exert its full strength in the second day's battles, which is why it did not participate.
But this time is different. Neither Torterra nor Electabuzz appeared in Shinji's battle yesterday, so this time he will face Shinji at his full strength.
But this is good, after all, not being able to fight Torterra was a big regret of his in the past, and now that regret will be made up for.
Is there anything more wonderful than this?
However, in its current state, Night Demon is no longer able to fight against Electivire, whose speed has been increased to this level.
If they were to actually fight, they probably wouldn't even be able to open a magic space before being instantly killed.
"Come back, Night Demon, thank you for your hard work."
Ash quickly made a decision and took out a Poké Ball to recall Dusknoir.
Almost at the same time Ash recalled Dusknoir, on the opposite side of the field.
Shinji's lips curled up slightly, almost imperceptibly, as if he had long anticipated that Ash would make such a choice.
Originally, at the start of the match, his strategy was for Raven Leader to defeat Night Demon, so that he wouldn't have to worry about Night Demon using Trick Room to threaten Electivire, whose speed had been boosted.
However, it seems the outcome is about the same now.
He also knew very well which Pokémon Ash would send out to fight Electivire.
Ash ignored Shinji's expression and silently tossed the Poké Ball into his hand.
"I choose you! Infernape!!"
"OKI—!!!"
With a roar full of fighting spirit, a red light exploded, and a figure engulfed in raging flames appeared on the field.
As soon as Infernape appeared, the flame-like fur on its head suddenly shot up a bit, its golden pupils instantly locked onto Electivire opposite it, and a grin spread across its face, revealing a smile full of fanatical fighting spirit.
The two Pokémon are also old rivals to each other.
The Electivire on the other side also showed a hint of excitement the moment it saw Infernape appear, and beckoned to Infernape as well.
However, this battle between the two Pokémon was not a fair fight.
Originally, the two Pokémon had different strengths: Infernape was faster and more agile, while Electivire was stronger but slower.
Now, with Ninja Mask taking over, Electivire's power and speed have overwhelmed Infernape.
In other words, this battle will test Ash's command skills to some extent.
The referee's gaze swept over both sides, and after confirming that there was no mistake, he suddenly swung down the flag in his hand!
"Game start!"
"Infernape, use Flamethrower!"
Almost the instant the referee finished speaking, Ash decisively issued the command.
Facing an Electivire whose attack and speed have been enhanced, it would be unwise to engage in close combat rashly.
"OKI!"
The Infernape understood immediately. It took a deep breath, its chest rising and falling slightly, and rapidly gathered intense heat in its mouth.
The next second, a thick pillar of crimson flame, like an angry fire dragon, roared and swept towards the electric monster.
The air seemed to ignite wherever the flames passed, emitting a sizzling sound.
Shinji responded calmly to the surging flames.
"Electric Demon Beast! Thunderbolt!"
"EI!"
The Electrified Beast grinned, and the detonators behind it suddenly burst forth with intense lightning.
boom--!!!
Golden lightning and crimson flames collided violently in the center of the arena.
In an instant, electric arcs and sparks flew everywhere, and a powerful shockwave spread in all directions, producing a deafening roar.
