Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

Chapter 368: Aislo vs. Xiaozhi (2) End!

Aislo raised his hand to take back the Rogue Crocodile, which had burn marks on its body but still stood proudly. His fingertips brushed across the dark ball, he took a deep breath, and cast his eyes on Xiaozhi who was opposite him with an equally solemn expression.

"You're the only one left, Pikachu..." Xiaozhi's voice was low, but it contained a fire that would never go out. Even though he already knew the result, so what?

The boy looked down at his feet. The familiar bright yellow figure was looking up, with the electric bag on his cheek flashing brightly. The little paw gently rested on the upper of his shoe, "Pika Pika!"

A smile appeared on Xiaozhi's face. He understood his partner's intention, "Then... Pikachu, come on!"

"Pika--chu!" Pikachu leaped onto the battlefield, and his small body burst out with amazing momentum, forming a very sharp contrast with the huge beast on the opposite side that stepped out of the Poké Ball again.

"Banky--!!!"

A deafening roar and a sandstorm swept across the entire field. Bangilas' silver-gray body stood still, the scars on his body faintly visible in the sandstorm, and his dark red pupils were fixed on the tiny yellow figure in the center of the field.

"Pikachu, lightning! Don't get caught in the sandstorm!" Ash threw his fist, the light in his eyes brighter than ever before in Eslo's eyes.

"Pika!" Pikachu's figure instantly turned into a golden stream of light, nimbly shuttling through the howling sandstorm. His speed was so fast that only an afterimage was left in the gaps between the sand and gravel, trying to find the flaw of Bangilas.

"Banguilas, rockfall!" Aislo began to restrict his opponent's movement.

"Bankyu!" Bankius roared. The brief respite in the dark ball had restored some of his energy. He leaned over and punched the ground. Countless huge rocks fell from the sky like a meteor shower, covering all possible evasive routes for Pikachu.

"Pikachu! Iron Tail, smash them!" Xiaozhi's voice was filled with determination to fight to the death.

"Pika, Pika!" Pikachu's small body spun rapidly in the air, and its steel-like tail flashed a cold metallic light.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

The crisp sound of metal colliding with stone was as dense as rain, and Pikachu turned into a golden whirlwind. His iron tail hit the fallen boulders accurately, and the hard rocks exploded in front of him.

Gravel was flying everywhere, dust was everywhere, and Pikachu was moving through the rain of rocks, his speed increasing instead of decreasing, heading straight for the huge body of Bankiras.

"So fast..." Aislo's eyes narrowed. He noticed the light burning in Pikachu's eyes, which was exactly the same as the light in Xiaozhi's eyes. "Banguirus, bite it to pieces!"

The boy felt vaguely uneasy, but he couldn't find the source of the uneasiness.

On the field, Bangilas opened his bloody mouth, and terrifying evil energy condensed on his sharp fangs. With the momentum to devour everything, he bit down fiercely at the rapidly approaching golden light.

"Pikachu! Now, Volt Attack!" Xiaozhi shouted with all his strength. This was their desperate charge.

"Pika Pika Pika Pika--Qiu!!!"

Pikachu's whole body burst out with unprecedented golden-white thunder. His speed instantly broke through the limit, leaving a long-lasting burning electric mark in the air. The tiny figure bravely faced the huge mouth of Bankiras, aiming directly at the scar on Bankiras' abdomen below.

At this critical moment.

[Banguiras, hold on! ] Aislo's wave came. Because the feeling of uneasiness had not yet dissipated, he finally chose the safest way to play.

hum-

Out of trust in his father, a tenacious light curtain instantly opened in front of Bangilas.

"Xiaozhi!" In the audience, Xiaoguang and Xiaogang exclaimed almost at the same time.

However, a look of determination that had been expected emerged on Xiaozhi's face.

"Pikachu - break through it!" The boy's roar carried an unknown power, and the scenes they had experienced together in the past emerged in the minds of Xiaozhi and Pikachu at the same time.

From the initial meeting to the gradual recognition of each other's understanding, and finally to the trust that can entrust one's life to each other.

"Pikachu!" Terrifying electricity burst out from Pikachu's body. The dazzling golden light was very blinding, and it burst into gorgeous electric light. It was as if an additional 100,000 volts was added to the 1-volt attack, but it seemed to be more than that.

boom--!

The tough light curtain in front of Bangilas lasted for less than two seconds when it came into contact with the golden thunder, and then it shattered like fragile glass, turning into light fragments all over the sky.

In Bangilas' pupils full of astonishment, the golden thunder that broke through all obstacles was reflected and hit his body hard.

At the same time, the destructive ray that Bangilas had been ready to release, also burst out uncontrollably from his wide-open mouth due to the severe pain of being hit.

Boom——!

An explosion of horror that could not be described in words exploded on Bangilas' body.

The golden thunder and the blazing white destructive light collided almost at zero distance.

The extremely dazzling light instantly engulfed the entire arena. A huge ball of light made of pure energy rapidly expanded in the center of the venue. The violent shock wave swept through the entire arena like a tsunami. The incomparably solid energy shield let out a piercing whine and was instantly covered with spider-web-like cracks. The entire venue seemed to be shaking violently, as if it would collapse at any time.

Wusong, who was watching the fight from a distance, stood up almost instantly, ready to take action at any time.

Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes; the light and impact raged for more than ten seconds before slowly dissipating.

When people trembled and put down their arms, looking towards the center of the venue, the first thing they saw was the tragic battlefield, followed by the huge body of Bangilas. His head hung limply, as if all his strength had been drained away, and there were still jumping arcs of electricity and charred marks on the edge of the scar on his abdomen.

In front of Bangilas's drooping head, in the center of the huge pit, a small charred figure was lying there quietly. Pikachu's hair was burnt and curled in large patches, and one could even faintly see the scars under the skin. His iconic tail drooped limply, and the electric pouch on his cheek was dim. The small body twitched slightly, and then it became completely motionless.

The sandstorm had stopped at some point, and deathly silence enveloped the entire arena.

The referee's lips were trembling, and he could hardly make a sound. He had no doubt what would have happened if he had been a little slower. Out of professionalism, the referee first looked at the fallen Bankiras on the left, and then at the tiny, charred Pikachu in the pit on the right. He raised the flags with both hands as if he had finally used up all his strength and announced: "Bankiras, Pikachu... have lost their ability to fight at the same time! Since Xiaozhi no longer has any Pokémon that can continue to fight, the winner of this game is - Aislo!"

"Banquilas!" Without caring about the silence in the audience, Aislo's voice was filled with urgency, and he rushed to the center of the venue.

"Pikachu!" Xiaozhi also shouted and rushed out almost at the same time as Eslo.

The two young men met at the edge of a huge deep pit. Aislo touched the somewhat cold and rough scales of Bangiras with his fingers, and the wave force gently flowed into that huge body. Xiaozhi knelt at the edge of the pit and carefully held the charred little body in his arms.

"Pikachu, you did a great job, really great..." Xiaozhi's voice was choked with sobs.

Finally, the battle came to an end, and the two boys quickly ran towards the Pokémon Center.
