He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4246 2 vs 1, Yuu vs Ash! (Part 1)

In response, Xiaozhi could only silently give Xiaoyou a thumbs up for her courage.

But since you've made that request...

"Then I choose you, Pikachu!"

Xiao Zhi didn't spoil the fun and said loudly.

This is a good opportunity for Pikachu to stretch its muscles; it probably hasn't had enough of what happened in the Slumbering Forest.

Regarding the battle rules, Ash hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Xiao You, just use two Pokémon in the field. You can switch out any of the back row. Pikachu and I will take care of everything!"

If it's really a one-on-one duel, then there's really no challenge; it's a sure-fire, one-sided victory.

Although, in a two-on-one situation, it doesn't seem like there's much difference.

"Pikachu~"

Pikachu turned its head and winked at Ash.

Is there any doubt about its acting skills and stage presence?

From a roadside stall to a legendary ancient god, they can all bring you to a 50/50 situation!

Xiao Zhi: "."

So the man and the mouse left the castle, while Xiaoyou made some preparations inside.

"A doubles match would be perfect!"

She seemed to have already figured out her tactics, and after a quick preparation, she followed suit and walked out the door.

Before long, the two had settled into a standoff in the open space in front of the watchtower.

Many Pokémon that were undergoing special training nearby also stopped what they were doing and gathered around the edge to watch.

At this moment, Xiaoyou's expression was very serious, and her eyes were fixed on what was in front of her.

She knew Ash was very strong, but as for Pikachu, it was probably about the same as Cinderace watching from the sidelines with his arms crossed, or Lucario resting with its eyes closed.

If it's two against one, it should work!

"Hehe~ Xiaoyou, go ahead and attack with all your might~!"

On the other hand, Ash grinned, exuding a relaxed and confident aura.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu also jumped into the fray, its electric sac surging with electricity, completely unconcerned about which Pokémon the opponent would send out.

Xiaoyou narrowed her eyes and, without hesitation, threw out two Poké Balls.

"In that case, these will be my starting lineup!"

Once she enters battle mode, her demeanor and aura undergo significant changes.

boom!boom!

Two red lights fell, and Xiaoyou's starting lineup consisted of Galarian Double Gas and Patch Sea Urchin.

"Whoosh!"

Upon its appearance, the chimney cap atop the Double Gas tank emitted a wisp of white smoke, enveloping the entire arena.

Properties: Chemically changing gas, activate!

"Pikachu?"

This made Pikachu straighten up and frown.

It had just seen the sea urchin and thought it could test its lightning rod properties in the first game.

As a result, the area was shrouded in smoke, turning into wooden needles that offered no protection against lightning!

Sizzle—!

With a one-second delay, the electrical maker's special ability activated, instantly bathing the entire area in a golden filter of light, with faint electric arcs swirling in the air.

It's turned into an electrical field!

"Huh? The electrical manufacturer's characteristics aren't being masked?"

Xiao Zhi looked puzzled and blurted out the question.

Xiaoyou seems to have mentioned before that the properties of gases undergoing chemical changes are uncontrollable, and both the enemy and the friend will have blank properties.

Moreover, it is activated immediately upon entering the game, blocking all other players.

Xiao You, however, began to explain loudly from afar:

"Because my Pachi Sea Urchin also has the 'Special Ability Gear' item, the special ability was retained."

"Special protective gear?"

Ash blinked, it was the first time he had ever heard of such a gadget.

The Rotom automatically emits a prompt sound when it folds into a tri-fold shape, and a corresponding pattern appears on the screen.

"Beep beep! Ability Gear. The ability of a Pokémon holding this item will not be changed or removed. This is a rare item from the Padina region called Roto~!" Xiaoyou had specially prepared this because she was a little late coming out earlier—

If your companion has the properties of a chemically changing gas, then this item is a surprisingly good fit.

Only within the Watt merchants themselves can they obtain such items, which are quite rare even in other places.

"Interesting, you've prepared quite a bit."

Xiao Zhi adjusted his hat, his eyes lighting up.

Now that we don't need to worry about Pikachu's lightning rod ability, Xiaoyou took the initiative and commanded:

"Double-shot gas, use poison gas!"

"Whoosh—whoosh!!"

The double-shot gas immediately spewed out a large cloud of murky green gas mist, enveloping the entire area and completely swallowing Pikachu's figure.

These highly flammable and explosive gases can be completely ignited by just a tiny spark, whether from an electric spark or an electric spark.

Xiao You's eyes sharpened, and she went straight to the point, raising her hand and shouting:

"Now! Splash the sea urchin, use electricity to rise!!"

The sea urchin lay quietly on the ground, its sharp spines sparking with electricity.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The surrounding ground seemed to be forcibly pierced by high-voltage current, and bolts of lightning rose up one after another like fountains, tearing straight up the fog ceiling.

With the support of an electrical environment, the power of electricity generation is increased dramatically!

However, it's not just the electricity that's rising.

The lightning struck the poison gas, and after a delay of several seconds, it was completely ignited!

Rumble—!!

The chain reaction of explosions swept across the entire area at an astonishing speed, with lightning fountains and fiery explosions intertwining and churning, and shockwaves hurling debris from the ground, making the ground vibrate and hum!

The exaggerated commotion caused all the Pokémon around to take a step back and look at Xiaoyou with surprise.

Is this seemingly cute girl going to unleash such a ferocious combination of punches right from the start?

However, as the smoke cleared, the opposite arena was empty, with only a few wisps of smoke swirling close to the ground.

"Huh? You missed?!"

Xiaoyou quickly looked around and suddenly heard a soft "tap, tap" sound coming from above her head.

The sound was rhythmic, like stepping on a drumbeat, accompanied by tiny crackling electric arcs.

She instinctively tilted her head back.

Pikachu looks like it's flying in mid-air!

Xiao You rubbed her eyes hard, then looked closely and realized it wasn't flying—

As if there were solid walls in the sky, Pikachu was using them as leverage to leap into the air, its movements as agile as if it were doing parkour on flat ground.

With each step, an arc of electric current would emanate from the toes.

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Hehe, compared to lightning rods, electric fields are the biggest benefit for Pikachu~!"

Thundercloud Lines' ability is simply ridiculously powerful!

Before the shockwave from the explosion had even fully dissipated, Pikachu had already darted into the air to dodge.

Xiao You immediately regained her composure and decisively launched a swift encirclement and annihilation attack:

"Smash the sea urchin, with the electric grid! Double-boiled gas, with the magical steam!"

Pikachu raised its head and sprayed out electric grids one after another. With the help of the electric field, the grids expanded to twice their size, about to completely block Pikachu's movements.

"Waaaaah—!!"

On the other side, two gas canisters floated up, spewing out a cloud of blue and pink mist that looked dazzling and beautiful.

In reality, as its signature move, its power is definitely not low.

Furthermore, once the target is hit, there are additional effects of dizziness and confusion.

However, Pikachu remained completely calm in mid-air.

"Pikachu!"

With limbs on electric arcs, he leaped and ran swiftly high in the air, his movements fluid and graceful.

The barrage of electric nets and mysterious steam attacks came flying at Pikachu, but it didn't even touch a hair on its head; it was all easily dodged! (End of Chapter)
