Chapter 327 This is the Divine Beast Man, according to Ash!
We walked together through the long corridor and arrived at the center of the bustling arena.
Ash slowly walked to his designated battle area, while Brock sat down at the coach's bench.
Nana was already waiting there, full of fighting spirit.
With both sides having arrived, the roulette wheel spun once more on the large screen in the center of the arena.
"The first match will be played on an ice field!"
This time, Ash managed to take the initiative.
"It's finally my turn to make the first move." Ash smiled slightly at Nana.
The little girl opposite hadn't yet figured out the meaning behind Xiaozhi's smile, and simply returned a sweet smile.
The two released their Pokémon at the same time.
"After so much hard work and training on this journey, it's time to prove myself to the master! Come on, my first baseman, Electric Dragon!"
Nana lifted her leg high and, with a standard baseball pitcher's stance, stylishly threw the Poké Ball onto the battlefield.
A flash of red light appeared, and a Pokémon with a yellow body, a red sphere on its tail and forehead, and two small hands resembling plesiosaur fins appeared on the battlefield.
"As expected, it's Nana's favorite Pokémon with its yellow background and black stripes."
This girl's thoughts are hard to guess.
This time, Ash prepared a yellow Pokémon with black stripes to take care of his lovely student and broaden her horizons.
Ash casually tossed his baseball cap down and threw his Poké Ball towards the enemy's battlefield.
"I've chosen you, Big Yellow!"
Similar to Nana's side, Ash's Pokémon appearance in the second half of the match was also accompanied by yellow lightning.
The lightning bolt was just a tiny bit bigger.
"Oh my god, what is that?"
"That's strange, the weather was fine just now, where did these thunderclouds come from?"
The audience was startled by the sudden appearance of dark clouds in the sky.
Yellow lightning flashed across the entire sky above the arena, and in the blink of an eye, a bright yellow figure gracefully descended from it.
"This—this is a Zapdos!!"
"What? That legendary Pokémon?"
The raging thunderclouds dissipated the moment Zapdos flapped its wings, and the audience's enthusiasm was completely ignited by its appearance.
The sound of camera shutters clicking incessantly filled the air around the arena.
On a smooth ice surface, the newly arrived Electric Dragon broke out in a cold sweat as it looked at the Zapdos in the sky, which was baring its fangs and making loud cries.
Zapdos's appearance was incredibly intimidating, but Ampharos and Nana stood firmly on the battlefield without flinching.
"My God, this is amazing!"
"Right at the start of the final tournament, Ash Ketchum brought out the extremely rare legendary Pokémon, Zapdos!"
"Is this okay?"
The commentator originally intended to make a few sarcastic remarks about Ash when he was with the cute girl, as usual, but she was surprised when the legendary Pokémon appeared, which made her so shocked that she could even speak human language.
Since the Silver Conference was first held, no one has used a legendary Pokémon in the competition for nearly a century.
The audience was full of amazement.
This is a Pokémon that Ash specially chose for his lovely students.
"Eh," Xiao Zhi was even a little touched by his own good intentions.
I bet Nana on the other side will be overjoyed too, right?
(Nana: Do I look a little happy now?)
"Ash, that kid, actually sent out a legendary Pokémon just to deal with a new trainer. I really don't know what he's doing."
Professor Oak, startled by a passerby next to him who suddenly pulled out a camera and started snapping photos incessantly, couldn't help but complain.
At this point, Xiaoxia had no choice but to defend her immature man.
"It seems that this is because Nana was a student that Ash once took on."
"So Ash wanted to show her his authority as a teacher, that's why he did that—"
"Oh, there's such a reason." Professor Oak believed him.
Of course, that's one of the reasons, but the main reason is that Xiaozhi wanted to boost his own TV station's ratings.
The fact that someone brought out a legendary Pokémon in the very first match of the tournament's final competition was absolutely explosive.
Moreover, given his prior statement, Crimson TV was the most well-prepared and had the most cameras set up among all the TV stations for this match.
Want to watch legendary Pokémon in the highest definition?
Then quickly switch to Red TV, and place a huge order for plush toys and lottery badges, so that Ash can make a fortune again!
Plan Complete.jpg
At this moment, the staff at the conference also began to whisper among themselves.
Finally, the commentator was notified shortly afterward.
"After discussions between the tournament organizers and Chairman Damaranchi, it has been decided that the use of legendary Pokémon will not be prohibited in the League Tournament."
"The match will proceed as scheduled!"
"I knew this would happen," Xiao Zhi said with a confident smile.
After all, it's already the final tournament, and the goal of the event is to allow every participating trainer to fully demonstrate their strongest abilities.
As long as it's legal, there will absolutely be no restrictions on Pokémon!
"Zetzart, use Thunder!"
As the first to strike, Ash decisively issued a command to Zapdos.
"Eat!"
The feathers of the flat-feathered bird in the sky bristled instantly, its eyes burst forth with light, and thick electric currents coursed between its wings.
Suddenly, lightning bolts rained down, blasting the electric dragon on the ice like a railgun.
That astonishing aura made Nana's electric dragon seem rather small.
"Ash-sensei is really amazing," Nana sighed inwardly.
Ash's Zapdos was a dominant force at Lake Zephyr in Mt. Chimega, a powerful member of its species and of a very high level.
After being subdued, he continued to train with Xiaobai, which caused him to be disrespectful and lack manners when fighting.
Even in this situation, Nana quickly adjusted her mindset.
Her main purpose in this battle was to show Ash how much she had improved; the girl was determined not to be discouraged.
"Electrodemon, our families are all cheering us on in front of the TV right now. We absolutely can't let down our reputation as Electabuzz fans!"
"Use 100,000 volts!"
A thick bolt of lightning struck the electric dragon from the sky, instantly cracking the smooth ice surface and sending ice fragments flying everywhere.
Fortunately, Ampharos is also an Electric-type Pokémon, so it is resistant to lightning attacks.
It endured the damage from the powerful attack and struggled to raise its fins to unleash a Thunderbolt counterattack.
"Great!" Ash's eyes lit up.
Despite Zapdos's relentless attacks, it was still able to retaliate.
"Nana has really grown up."
Of course, this refers to the level of a trainer; his physique is still that of a perfectly fit kid.
The electric dragon gritted its teeth and roared loudly, mobilizing all the electricity in its body.
Within the lightning pillar, lightning belonging to the Ampharos slowly emanated from its entire body, struggling against the Zapdos's thunderous attacks.
Ash, who was in the middle of a battle, was also observing with great interest the muscles in Nana's Ampharos's legs as she forcefully flexed.
With the approval of the muscle master, Xiao Zhi can give it an excellent rating.
"It seems Nana's training is quite thorough, but not enough."
"You're far from being able to fight me!"
Motor, motor one!
"Zetzart, power up!"
"land!!"
The Ampharos, which had just begun to show signs of improvement, was utterly defeated by Zapdos's powerful lightning that illuminated the entire sky.
An even stronger current surged forth instantly, pushing back the 100,000 volts that the electric dragon had painstakingly built up.
"Keep going, electric dragon!"
Unfortunately, no miracle occurred. The electric dragon was struck by lightning and its entire body was pierced through, causing a violent explosion at its location.
The once smooth ice field has now been completely shattered by the lightning clash between the two Pokémon.
When the smoke cleared, the electric dragon was lying in a pile of broken ice.
"Electric Dragon, incapacitated!" The referee was stunned for a moment before quickly waving the flag down.
"Wow, Ash's Zapdos showed amazing dominance as soon as it appeared!"
"Adorable Nana, her electric dragon has been defeated~!"
After a moment of silence, the audience erupted in thunderous cheers.
"Wow, to see a legendary Pokémon make its move, even if I die, it's worth the ticket price!"
"That's too strong! There's absolutely no chance of fighting back—"
Rookie Trainer Nana is facing setbacks—
But after she retracted the electric dragon, she immediately clenched her little fist and gave herself a big pep talk.
"This is only the first time I've swung and missed, it's far from time to give up!" Nana quickly released her second Pokémon in a pitching stance.
Ash stared at the red light flashing across the field. If Nana had a Ground-type Pokémon, then she might still have a chance to win.
Ash's Zapdos doesn't actually learn any non-Electric moves.
It's usually used to train Ash to be proficient in Electric-type resistance, so there's really no need for it to learn any coverage moves. Even its appearance this time was Ash's last-minute decision.
Unfortunately, Nana didn't bring a Ground-type Pokémon; her second Pokémon was a Giant Spike.
"Another yellow Pokémon with black stripes. This girl really loves Electabuzz."
To Nana's surprise, Ash also recalled Zapdos at that moment.
After all, the reason he sent out Zapdos first was simply to broaden Nana's horizons.
We can't really let them lose their fighting spirit.
Moreover, Xiao Gang, who was sitting on the coach's bench, also noticed it.
"That incredible lightning strike just now also drained Zapdos of a lot of its energy."
The damage was clearly excessive; focusing solely on momentum resulted in a significant waste of energy.
Zapdos, having spent too much time in the wild, was battling other trainers' Pokémon for the first time, so it didn't hold back.
They immediately follow their old habit of open combat, attacking the single target without reservation as long as there are no other threats around.
Although they still have the stamina to fight again, they've already learned enough from the experience, and there's no need to keep the ruthless Zapdos around.
"It's your turn for the second round, Eight Treasure Porridge!" Ash immediately pulled out a Luxury Ball and threw it onto the battlefield to rotate the battle.
The idiot, who already knew he would be making his appearance, immediately stopped talking and pretended to be an expert.
Gone is the usual bouncing and jumping; now, only an elegant and unrestrained aura shines through.
Looking at the crowd around him and the admiring looks on their faces.
"That's right, just like that! Praise me to my heart's content!" Eight Treasure Porridge closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and basked in the glow.
"Ash's second Pokémon is the legendary Suicune!!"
This time, the cheers from the crowd were even louder than when Zapdos had done it.
There's no way around it, Suicune is just too popular in the Johto region.
Meanwhile, Nana on the other side felt a little numb.
"Teacher Xiaozhi, do you really have to treat people like this?"
"Nana, you've done a great job training your electric dragon. This isn't just a consolation or compliment; it's my honest opinion."
"That's why, in my teacher's eyes, you have grown into an opponent that I should take seriously."
"That's why the teacher is going all out, do you understand now!" Xiao Zhi said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.
"The radio ratings are going to explode this time!"
Meanwhile, the innocent Nana had a crying cat-like face.
"Teacher Xiaozhi—"
Nana was deeply moved, never expecting that Ash had such good intentions.
"I will definitely not let you down, teacher! Beedrill's deadly sting!"
"Uh, be careful, Eight Treasure Porridge!"
Nana wiped away her tears, immediately switched to battle mode, and Beedrill's figure quickly disappeared from the field.
When it reappeared, it was already right behind the Eight Treasure Porridge.
Babaozhou, who was still enjoying the flowers and applause from those around him with his eyes closed, had no idea that danger was quietly approaching.
Suddenly, it jumped up.
"Ouch, that hurts so much! Who dared to poke my butt?!"
"Huh? What's that sound? Is that Suicune speaking?"
The surrounding audience was taken aback.
Fortunately, the situation changed in the blink of an eye, and the arena was far enough away that the commentators and spectators could not hear clearly.
This allowed Babaozhou to react in time, her silly face instantly transforming back into an elegant one, without letting the audience notice anything amiss.
Meanwhile, Kojiro and his two companions at the broadcasting station also quickly gave orders to their subordinates.
"Hurry up and cut that part out, meow!"
"That's right!"
"You're only allowed to show Suicune's cool side, or your wages will be docked!"
The four company employees were all angry but dared not speak out.
Fortunately, Sundae, who was also present, immediately corrected their mistake.
She gave each of the trio a powerful dunk.
"Hey, is this how you talk to your dear subordinates?!"
"If every leader were like you, our Crimson Group would still be developing like this, still be achieving its grand ideals, and still be a home for every employee forever!"
Upon hearing this, the employees present were all moved to tears.
"Secretary General of Sundae" x4
Kojiro and the other two lowered their heads in shame.
"That's how it should be." Sundae immediately put on a disgusted face, picked up a small leather whip, and lashed it across their backs.
"You lowly wooden craftsmen, get to work for me now!"
"We must extract every last drop of value from your filthy souls!"
The three were shocked. "You've gone even further than we did just now, meow!"
And the employees responded with "Ah, yes!" x4 (enjoying the sound).
"To be whipped by someone as beautiful as Miss Sundae is the greatest honor of our lives."
Then they immediately threw themselves into their work with fervor. (Note: These are all female employees.)
Meow Meow: "—The Crimson Group is beyond saving, meow."
With a flash of lightning, Suicune returned to the battlefield and, after a few leaps, finally shook off the Beedrill that was relentlessly pursuing Kikyo.
The scene was so cringeworthy that even Xiao Zhi had to speak up and offer a reminder.
"Eight Treasure Porridge, get serious! Don't let us down again! Use the water cannon!"
"I understand!"
With its mane shimmering and flowing, Babaozhou gave a stylish head toss.
The water cannon, brimming with the rage of being violated, gushed rapidly from its mouth.
The thick column of water, like a flood falling from the sky, instantly submerged the entire battlefield.
However, because Beedrill can fly, it did not suffer much damage.
"This guy's been blinded by anger." Brock shook his head as he looked at Suicune on the field.
But after Xiao Zhi reminded him, Babaozhou quickly calmed down.
They began to aim precisely at the swarming Beedrill and launch accurate attacks.
It's fortunate that it usually makes a fool of itself a lot; otherwise, if it were Emperor Yan who got his rear end violated, who knows how long his rage would last.
"Beedrill, let Ash-sensei see all the hard work we've put in!"
"Second swing, Pin Missile!"
"Eight Treasure Porridge, get out of the way!"
At this point, the drawbacks of Zapdos breaking the terrain became apparent.
Because Beedrill can fly, damage to the terrain doesn't significantly affect its movement.
Although Suicune can rely on the north wind to help her glide, there isn't a single flat spot on the ice field at this moment.
Eight Treasure Porridge could only jump back and forth between several large pieces of ice to avoid being hit, which greatly hindered its movement.
