Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile-Chapter 658 - 354: The Final Clash, Outrage Dragon Rush vs. Pika Papow!

The tension on the field grew heavier; Dragonite, who had been at a disadvantage since appearing, was experiencing an unfamiliar situation for the locals of Ganju Island.

When had Yuji’s Dragonite ever been beaten so badly?

Every time Yuji brought out Dragonite, it usually secured a decisive victory, and there were hardly any stalemates.

But now, Dragonite was being suppressed by a small Pikachu, and that Pikachu’s skill moves included several they had never even heard of.

What was this Zippy Zap, what was this Floaty Fall, were these skills Pikachu could learn? Were they just too out of touch for too long? Had the world outside changed without them knowing?

For Yuji and Dragonite, this battle was an unprecedented challenge; their journey had been too smooth, without encountering any real setbacks.

At a young age, Yuji had already become the top Trainer of the Orange Archipelago and was undefeated. His dream was to someday turn the Orange Archipelago into a true league region like Johto and Sinnoh.

Although the Orange Archipelago also had the label of the Orange League, in the end, it was just a subsidiary region of Johto and Kanto. The archipelago wasn’t small, but the level of Trainers here was really not that impressive.

With just one Elite Level Dragonite, he could dominate the entire Orange Archipelago, and compared to the previous top Trainer and the current Southern Cross Star, his strength was a clear gap ahead.

Because of this, after becoming the top Trainer, his strength hadn’t improved for a long time.

It’s not quite right to say he hadn’t improved, it should be said that he no longer improved at that kind of Extreme Speed like before.

Previously, when facing challenging opponents, he grew stronger as the battles went on, but when there were no opponents, his growth slowed down.

Initially, the solitude of being undefeated was thrilling, but slowly, the lack of opponents made him feel bored, and the stagnation in strength made Yuji slightly anxious.

Just at this time, he heard that Ash had come to the Orange Archipelago, leading to this battle.

"Ash, you’re amazing! Dragonite, you think so too, right?"

"Roar!" Dragonite nodded, its honest face showing full battle intent and excitement.

It’s only interesting to fight opponents like this!

Those previous one-sided battles were alright at first, but over time, he even lost the will to fight because it was just too boring.

But now, it was completely different. Rather than saying the opponent was weak, it might be that he himself was weaker; battles like these were much more interesting!

"Go all out, Dragonite, use Outrage!" Yuji gave an unexpected command, opting to have Dragonite use Outrage!

Outrage is a signature move for Dragon Attribute Pokemon, only used as a last resort. After using Outrage, all-encompassing power would be enhanced, as if receiving a buff that increases all attributes, but after some time, it would enter a confused state, unrecognizing friend from foe.

Among experts’ battles, a slight mistake can determine the victory or defeat, entering a confused state in such circumstances, how was it different from suicide?

Therefore, the skill of Outrage, especially in high-level matches, is typically only used at the very last moment.

As a finishing move, this skill could turn the whole battle around, or it could be the final straw that breaks the camel’s back.

Yuji’s Dragonite was obviously not yet at the brink of desperation, but now he chose to use Outrage to make a last-ditch effort in battle, somewhat out of character with Yuji’s calm and composed nature!

It might also be that this battle had gotten to Yuji’s head, leading him to use Outrage in such a situation as a desperate move.

No matter what, after activating Outrage, Dragonite’s all-encompassing power underwent a qualitative change, and it was no longer realistic for Pikachu to suppress Dragonite as before.

"Roar!!" Dragonite roared to the sky, the clarity in its eyes gradually replaced by a ferocious look as the Outrage activated, enhancing Dragonite’s entire power, though its ferocious will started to replace its mind.

Currently, Dragonite could still hold on, with a trace of clarity in the midst of the rampage, able to hear Yuji’s commands and think for itself, but if the time dragged on, Dragonite would enter a violent state.

Dragonite was Yuji’s last Pokemon, and even if Dragonite fell into a confused state, Yuji had no way to retrieve it back into the Pokeball under the pretense of rotation.

In other words, if Outrage ended and Pikachu was still standing, then this battle would draw to a close.

"Be careful, Pikachu!" Dragonite’s state also brought a serious expression to Ash’s face; in the Outrage state, Dragonite had completely surpassed the current Pikachu.

The partner form wasn’t omnipotent, even if it was a second form with the companion form, its ability value could only be said to reach the pinnacle of its current level. If Pikachu had a third form now, it wouldn’t fear or retreat from the Outrage state at all.
