He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4261 vs. Yuuji! A high-intensity close-quarters battle!

As the lightning struck, Ash immediately responded:

"Use your frozen teeth to block it!"

The ichthyosaur bit down on the ground again, and the cold air quickly condensed into ice spikes along the ground.

With the enhancement of the Strong trait, it instantly solidified into a thick ice shield, which stood in front of him.

Zzzzz boom—!

The lightning struck head-on, the current colliding violently with the ice. After a brief stalemate, the ice began to crack and was completely shattered the next moment.

The remaining current fell entirely on the gill ichthyosaur, and the electric light flowed along its body, emitting a piercing crackling sound.

"Gills—!"

The gill harpoon was jolted by the electric shock, let out a muffled groan, and staggered backward.

But they quickly regained their footing and were not pushed back too far.

It's not a matter of type advantage; the combination of Dracovish's types makes its resistances excellent, and only Dragon and Fairy type moves can deal significant damage to it.

Of course, it really hurts.

"Its power is quite impressive."

As an electrical expert, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but praise him.

Come to think of it, it's a Pokémon that the other party brought from the Orange Islands to where it is now.

Instead of, like him, building a new team when he arrives in a new region.

Yuji didn't stop, and continued his fierce attack:

"One more time, thunder!!"

The Electrified Beast raised its arms again, and electricity rapidly gathered and blasted out, clearly not intending to give its opponent any chance to get close.

He already knew that the most powerful weapon of the ichthyosaur was its strong forehead.

Although Electivire is also good at melee combat, there's no need to let the opponent take advantage of it.

Maintaining a distance and using electricity to suppress the opponent is the most reliable strategy.

So Ash made a quick decision and took out a Poké Ball:

"Come back first, ichthyosaur."

With his other hand, he threw out a second Poké Ball, while simultaneously giving the command:

"Flash Ace, use Scorching Sands!"

As soon as Flame Ace appeared, it immediately took action, leaping up and performing a backflip kick, sending the sand ball that had formed at its feet flying into the air.

Zzzzz boom—!

Thunder then struck, and all the lightning bolts hit Flame Ace.

"cowry!"

It snorted coldly, landed steadily, and after a burst of violent electricity surged across its body, it was forcefully repelled without causing any harm.

The Free Spirit ability activates, transforming it into a Ground-type Pokémon!

"The characteristics of a free agent?"

Yuji's gaze sharpened, and he almost immediately noticed something amiss.

He was quite knowledgeable, and the situation with the ichthyosaur wasn't a mistake. It was simply that the information about the ichthyosaur was too bizarre and obscure!

In mid-air, the sand ball fell to the ground along a parabolic trajectory and then exploded with a bang.

*Splash! Splash!*

Scalding hot sand surged out, instantly transforming into a two-meter-high sand wave that swept outwards, the sand surface radiating heat and burning hot.

"Electrify the monster, use Dig!"

Yuji's command was equally swift.

The electric monster immediately bent down and dug a hole, burrowing directly into the ground to avoid the scorching sand.

Immediately afterwards—

The ground beneath Cinderace's feet suddenly cracked open, and Electivire burst forth, its body surging upwards.

His right fist swung out from below, aiming straight for Flame Ace's jaw.

With its punching power and attack angle, regardless of attribute advantages or disadvantages, as long as it hits, a single punch can drive a person insane.

However, Flame Ace is faster.

"Sandstorm!" It flicked its toe, and a small clump of sand shot out, hitting the electric monster precisely in the eye socket.

Crash—

The sand exploded, and the fine sand instantly obscured the view.

The Electivire faltered, its vision obstructed, and its uppercut, which should have landed, missed completely, grazing past the Flame Ace.

"One more time, scorching sands!!"

Flame Ace showed no mercy. While the opponent was still picking at the sand in his eyes, he gathered a ball of scorching sand under his feet, twisted his body, and kicked it out fiercely.

This time it didn't explode upon landing.

The sand ball flew straight out and slammed into the chest of the electric monster.

Boom!

It exploded directly on Electivire's body, and a sandstorm instantly surged up, carrying high temperature and impact force that sent Electivire flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

The effect is outstanding!

The electric monster, in pain, landed on one knee, panting heavily.

As the sandstorm dissipated, a layer of flames suddenly ignited around it, as if bursting forth from within its body, and its physical form weakened.

He's burned!

However, Ash's joy was short-lived. Electivire pulled out a green berry and bit into it.

Juice spilled out, and he quickly swallowed it.

The next moment, all the flames on his body were extinguished, and the weakness he had felt earlier vanished, allowing his breathing to stabilize.

Xiao Zhi raised an eyebrow and whispered:

"Did you also bring tree fruits?"

It looks like a wood seed fruit, which has the effect of removing all abnormal statuses.

"In that case, use the Freeze Fist!"

Yuji immediately changed his move, and the Electric Beast charged forward, his fists quickly becoming covered in frost, with cold air surging on his knuckles.

This time, its cable tail is raised high, so if it tries to use small tricks like throwing sand to attack the eyes, the tail can sweep it away like a windshield wiper.

Ash's expression gradually became excited; this was exactly the kind of thrilling battle he wanted.

"Elemental advantage? Then let's try it too, with a Flame Kick!"

Flame Ace charged straight at its opponent, and the instant its Frozen Fist was about to strike, it raised its right leg high, flames suddenly erupted, and it unleashed a sweeping horizontal kick.

Whoosh!

The frost was instantly shattered, and the punch was forcibly blocked.

Using the force of the blow, Cinderace spun halfway through the air, flames still burning on its legs, and prepared to kick Electivire straight in the chest.

"Grab it!"

The cable tail behind Electrify lashed out, precisely wrapping around Flame Ace's ankle and interrupting Flame Kick's attack.

He pulled it downwards, trying to drag it along and slam it hard onto the ground.

Flame Ace slammed his palm on the ground, using the force to push himself up, hanging upside down, which was just right for him to use that move.

"Triple Spin Strike!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

Its legs were spread apart, and it spun backwards at high speed, with cold air gathering and swirling around its toes, forcibly breaking free from the restraints of the cable tail.

Snapped!Snapped!

Two of the kicks even landed hard on the face of the Electrified Beast, knocking its head to the side and freezing it with frost.

Yongci's breathing tightened as he continued to press forward:

"Electric Beast, use Cross Cleave!"

The electric monster crossed its arms, covered in a thick white light, and aimed at the rabbit's head, then slashed down fiercely.

However, the figure of Flame Ace flashed in place and suddenly disappeared.

Boom!

The cross-shaped slash missed its mark, leaving a cross-shaped crater on the ground.

The next instant, Cinderace appeared to the side of Electivire, lowered his body, and kicked out fiercely.

Swallows return!

Whoosh! Bang!

A tricky strike landed squarely!

The electric monster was kicked and slid back several meters, leaving a long trail behind its feet. A sharp pain shot through its side, and it once again half-knelt on the ground! (End of Chapter)
