I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

"Hu!"

Alakazam's eyes emitted a vast and powerful spiritual energy, which formed a ball of light and rushed towards Snorlax.

Bang! !

"Kirby!!"

Snorlax, hit by the Psychic Blast, let out a painful howl, but even so, it did not fall down and was even freed from the confusion state, although its condition was quite poor at the moment.

"Snorlax, use Crunch," Ash commanded.

Snorlax charged toward Alakazam, opening its mouth wide, a dark red energy covering its teeth.

"Mental shock!" Xiao Shigeru commanded.

Alakazam unleashed another Psychic Blast, the powerful psychic energy blast knocking Snorlax to the ground. This time, Snorlax couldn't hold on and lay there, its eyes spinning.

"Snorlax is unable to battle, Alakazam wins!" the referee announced.

Gary successfully captured two of Ash's Pokémon.

"That's awesome! One more!"

"Yeah, one more, and we'll finish with a 1-on-3 run in the first half!"

"Father Mao...no!! Master Mao, one more, I beg you."

"Ancestor, if you capture one more Pokémon from Ash, I'll kowtow to you."

"If you can't win me over, I'll disown you!!"

The audience was thrilled; this Silver Conference had truly made them a fortune.

"Sigh! Ash is still far behind Gary," Hanako said worriedly.

“That’s true. Gary trains Pokémon very quickly, while Ash’s Pokémon are lagging behind in level,” Professor Oak said.

Professor Oak carefully observed Gary and Ash's Pokémon and could clearly see that Gary's Pokémon leveled up very quickly, completely overpowering Ash's Pokémon.

If they were at the same level, Gary and Ash could have a fair fight. The difference between them wasn't in command skills, but rather in their overall strength.

"Pikachu, please!" Ash said, bowing his head.

"Pickup!!"

Pikachu immediately rushed into the arena. It had never forgotten losing to Gary once at the Indigo League.

Don't be fooled by Pikachu being an actor; if you really anger it, it can truly transform into Pikachu God.

【LV60 Pikachu♂/Champion】

After some time, Pikachu has reached the Elite Four level. Unfortunately, Bulbasaur and Squirtle, which Ash bred in the first generation, have great potential, but they don't like to evolve and are destined not to become mainstays in the future.

After all, Pikachu went through many opportunities to gain such strength.

"Alakazam, come back." Xiao Mao also recalled Alakazam.

The battle with Snorlax drained Alakazam of a lot of its mental energy, and if the battle continued, it might not be able to defeat Pikachu.

"Brother Mao! No, why did you take back Alakazam? Keep fighting! It's just a Pikachu, what's there to be afraid of!"

"You bastard, you did that on purpose!"

"Waaaaah... I lost my house and I'm still in debt."

"Haha, luckily I played it safe and bet on a complete first-half victory, I made a profit!"

Xiao Mao didn't know what the odds were; he just played according to his own rhythm.

"Scizor, it's your turn!" Gary threw out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

The Scizor makes its appearance, its crimson armor reflecting a metallic sheen, looking incredibly tough.

【LV60 Scizor (male) / Near Legendary】

Scizor was a Pokémon that Gary caught a long time ago, but it had never appeared in the Indigo League before. This was its first appearance in a competition.

"A Scizor...!" Ash frowned. He knew that Gary had a Scizor, but he had never seen this Scizor fight.

But what is certain is that this Scizor was a Pokémon that Gary caught a long time ago, so it must be quite powerful.

"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Ash commanded.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu unleashes a Thunderbolt attack on Scizor.

"Shadow clone, dodge, then attack with Bullet Punch," Shigeru commanded.

"twitter!!"

Scizor immediately used Shadow Clone Jutsu. Pikachu's Thunderbolt hit one of the clones, while the rest rushed towards Pikachu. Pikachu couldn't tell which one was the real Pikachu and could only try them one by one.

However, Pikachu attacked several times in a row, but all of them hit the clones. The real Scizor suddenly attacked Pikachu from the left.

"The one on the left is the real one!" Ash shouted quickly.

289: Gary vs. Ash (3)

"Pickup!"

Pikachu looked to its left, its body crackling with electricity, trying to unleash an electric shock. But Scizor was faster, its red pincers striking relentlessly, bombarding Pikachu and sending it flying. The electric shock it unleashed went astray, shattering a nearby rock.

"Too light..." Xiao Shi was thinking that Scizor could defeat Pikachu with a barrage of Bullet Punches, but Pikachu was too light and was sent flying by the Bullet Punches.

Bang!

Pikachu was quite agile; when it fell to the ground, it used its tail to brace itself and landed safely, avoiding the damage from the fall.

Gary looked at Pikachu and saw that it wasn't seriously injured. It seemed that Ash's Pikachu had higher base stats than a regular Pikachu.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash commanded.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu quickly unleashed a Thunderbolt, the electric shock being released so fast that Gary didn't even have time to speak before the Thunderbolt was already in front of Scizor.

"twitter!!"

Scizor tried to dodge, but it was too late and was hit by Thunderbolt. Because it was a Rock 020 terrain and the ground was made of rock, it couldn't conduct electricity underground and took a full Thunderbolt from Pikachu.

"Pounce!" Xiao Mao commanded.

Whoosh!! Scizor pounced on Pikachu, and Pikachu countered with Quick Attack. The two collided, and with a bang, Pikachu was sent flying.

"Pickup!!"

Pikachu struggled to its feet, its internal condition was very poor, and the sudden pounce caused significant damage.

"Take care of Pikachu, use the Phillips Shears!" Gary commanded.

"twitter...!"

The scyther prepared to move, but found itself unable to move. A strong sense of paralysis swept through its joints, preventing it from exerting any force.

"Why isn't the Scizor following Shigeru's orders? What's going on?" the host asked in surprise.

Instantly, the audience in the stands tensed up. They had all bet on Shigeru to win decisively. If Shigeru lost a Pokémon, many of them might have to meet on the rooftop.

Gary was also surprised, but he knew that his Scizor had been paralyzed. Ash's Pikachu has the Static ability, but Gary didn't expect his Scizor to be affected.

"Pikachu, use Thunder!" Ash saw an opportunity and immediately had Pikachu use its strongest Electric-type move.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu unleashed a Thunder Dragon, which instantly appeared in front of Scizor and struck it.

"twitter!!"

Steel-type Pokémon are highly conductive. Even though Electric-type moves are not super effective against Steel-type Pokémon, they can still damage the flesh inside the steel armor, causing significant harm.

Shigeru never expected this to happen, and he no longer had the chance to replace his Pokémon.

The ability to switch Pokémon isn't unlimited; you can only switch once per battle. I just switched out Alakazam, so Gary can't switch out Scizor unless he defeats Pikachu.

"Scizor, pounce!" Shigeru commanded.

Since we can't substitute them, we'll have to go all out.

Despite the discomfort of the paralysis, Scizor pounced on Pikachu. Due to the paralysis, Scizor's movements were not fast. Pikachu jumped to dodge Scizor's pounce and then unleashed a Thunderbolt.

Being paralyzed in the game is a gamble, but in combat, it slows down reaction time and speed, which can be fatal.

"Scizor, use Leer!" Shigeru resigned himself to his fate, lowering Pikachu's defense to help prepare for the later Pokémon.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash didn't hold back at all, and Pikachu unleashed Thunderbolt.

"twitter!!"

The scyther cried out in pain, then lost consciousness and fell backward.

"Scizor is unable to battle, Pikachu wins!" the referee announced.

"That's amazing! Ash's Pikachu defeated Scizor. This is the first time Gary has had a Pokémon lose a battle since we started participating in the Silver Conference," the commentator said.

"Holy crap, the complete victory is gone, and so is my youth!"

"Little Gary, can't you switch to a stronger Pokémon? Where's the Tyranitar you used at the Indigo League? It made me lose money."

"Do you think Ash could beat Gary?"

"What are you thinking? This is an all-out battle. Look closely, Ash has lost two Pokémon, and Gary has only lost one. And that Pikachu is seriously injured. How can they possibly win?"

Despite the losses suffered by many, viewers still believed that Shigeru would win.

"It was my mistake to make a decision. Let's come back and rest." Xiao Mao originally wanted to use Scizor to sweep the team, but unfortunately, Pikachu paralyzed him, leading to defeat.

"It's up to you now!" Shigeru threw out the Poké Ball.

Baton!

Electivire with tiger stripes makes its debut.

【LV60 Electabuzz♂/Champion】

"Shigeru sent out Electivire, which is a very strong Electric-type Pokémon. Is Shigeru going to have an Electric-type mirror match?"
