Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile-Chapter 695 - 372: Crushing Victory, Still the Negative Attribute Master!

Chapter 695: Chapter 372: Crushing Victory, Still the Negative Attribute Master!

Just as Blaziken thought Flare Blitz could hit its target, and May’s eyes revealed a hopeful light, two thick green plants suddenly crossed in front of Venusaur!

"Boom!!" Flare Blitz collided with Frenzy Plant, producing a deafening roar. The scorching flames swept over the two thick green plants instantly, as the orange-red tongues of fire madly licked the surface of Frenzy Plant, causing a sizzling burning sound. Black smoke accompanied by sparks soared into the sky, and a choking scorched smell permeated the entire battlefield.

Blaziken’s whole body’s flames grew increasingly fierce, and it exerted all of its strength to push Flare Blitz forward. The high temperature continually seeped through Frenzy Plant’s tough surface. Under the extreme heat of the flames, the previously indestructible green stems began to crack. In just a few seconds, the two green plants blocking Venusaur were about to be completely burned away.

Seeing this, a look of joy appeared on May’s face.

Although Venusaur’s Frenzy Plant was somewhat mysterious, it was still ultimately a Grass Type Move, and the restraint of Fire Type Move against it was undeniably real. The obstacles that Fire Kicks couldn’t overcome did not mean Flare Blitz couldn’t break through!

But this joy didn’t linger on her face for long before it instantly froze—

Venusaur’s enormous petals gently trembled, while a rich emerald green light spread across the leaves. The ground shook violently again, and countless tender green stems crazily surged from the soil, denser and thicker than before, as if they had been poised to strike, wrapping furiously around Blaziken’s limbs and torso!

Blaziken sensed the anomaly and quickly tried to use its strength to leap away, but the remaining Frenzy Plant bent directly behind it, blocking its retreat. Now it had only one choice: to directly break through Frenzy Plant and attack Venusaur itself to save itself.

Upon observing this, Blaziken didn’t care anymore, releasing all of its internal power without reservation, and the flames around it transformed from red to blue, signifying a qualitative change in the fire!

In the transformation of the flames, Frenzy Plant in front of Venusaur was rapidly burned away, allowing Blaziken to successfully break through to Venusaur. The intense flames slammed fiercely against Venusaur’s body!

"Boom!!" Huge smoke exploded in the field, violent gusts swept layer upon layer outward, and this time, for some reason, nothing blocked the surrounding wind waves. The stirred sand confused the spectators’ eyes, including May, who couldn’t see for a moment.

After a full ten seconds, the dust that had risen on the field gradually settled, the smoke slowly dispersed, revealing the situation within.

"Impossible!"

"Oh my god! Is that Venusaur made of iron? Even if it were iron, getting burned by that kind of temperature shouldn’t just result in such minor damage?"

"Wow, is this Ash’s strength? It’s terrifying! Even a Venusaur is this powerful, it’s truly hard to imagine how strong Ash’s Legendary Beast might be!"

"..."

The situation in the field caught everyone’s eye, sparking discussions among the spectators.

The expected scenario where Venusaur was hit by Blaziken, causing it to be unable to maintain Frenzy Plant, didn’t occur. Instead, Blaziken was trapped in midair, with its limbs firmly bound by the tough green plants, showing a pained expression on its face.

On the other hand, Venusaur not far ahead, although slightly scorched on the forehead and its huge petals, only suffered that level of injury after a direct hit from such a powerful Flare Blitz, which was simply incredible!

In this clash, the advantage remained with Venusaur, and this wasn’t just an advantage; it was a decisive victory!

Blaziken, wrapped in Frenzy Plant, no longer had any flames. Its face showed pain, and even some suffocation, simply watching it made one empathetic.

"Blaziken, break free quickly! Flare Blitz!!" May’s anxious shout reached Blaziken’s ears, but even though May was worried, breaking free was just impossible.

Blaziken’s power was nearly depleted due to successive attacks and the recoil from Flare Blitz.

A counterattack? That’s just a pipe dream.

In just moments, Blaziken’s eyes lost their luster completely, its tightly clenched fists relaxed, and its raised head drooped without any movement.

"Anthea." Venusaur gradually released Frenzy Plant and stopped absorbing Blaziken’s Physical Strength and Life Force, tossing it to the ground.

Falling to the ground, Blaziken remained motionless, clearly having lost its ability to fight.

"So the outcome’s decided just like that! It feels like we only fought for a while."

"Indeed, it seems a bit unfinished! But this is Ash after all! Ash’s strength is evident to all."

"Truth be told, Ash hasn’t exerted his full strength here, right? If Ash used the kind of power he did against Elite Lorelei, Blaziken would be successful if it stood for more than one round!"

"Yes, although this battle was intense, it’s still considerably different from the match against Elite Lorelei."

"But come on, isn’t the person across the field about Ash’s age too? Being this skilled at such an age surely is a sign of a genius Trainer!"

"Exactly, exactly, if you tried, you might not last a single round against their Pokemon!"

"..."

With Blaziken’s defeat, the atmosphere among the spectators became lively again.

The intensity of the recent battle left them utterly speechless; even opening their mouths slightly meant eating a mouthful of dust. Now, with the battle over, they could finally speak freely.

After the battle, May retrieved Blaziken, and amidst the various discussions, everyone left the training field.

Along the way, some approached wanting to find Ash, some wanting to challenge, and others wanting photos and autographs, but Ash politely declined them all.

Fortunately, the spectators here were enthusiastic yet considerate. After Ash repeatedly expressed his refusal, they didn’t persist and gave way for Ash and his companions to leave.

The first thing after leaving the training field was, of course, to return to the Pokemon Center. Although the Pokemon Center was packed, that was just concerning the registration area’s entrance. In preparation for the Silver Conference, the Pokemon Center’s recovery entrance and devices had long been relocated elsewhere.

May handed over Blaziken to Miss Joy and then found a place to sit with Ash and others, immediately asking the question that had baffled her since the start of the battle: "Why..."

"Why is Frenzy Plant unaffected by Fire Type Move? Grass Type Move should clearly be restrained by Fire Type Move, even if my sister’s Blaziken’s level doesn’t match your Venusaur’s, the restraining effect of Fire Type Move shouldn’t be completely negated due to level differences, right? What’s so special about your Venusaur?"

May hadn’t even started asking before her brother Victor jumped in. Despite being only a teenager, Victor’s research on Pokemon was not inferior to that of some seasoned Trainers, though he couldn’t travel and own his own Pokemon due to age limitations.

Just like his sister May, Victor was puzzled by the situation on the battlefield; such level differences shouldn’t have reversed the attribute opposition to that extent!

"Because my Venusaur is special. All of its Grass Type Moves contain powerful Life Force; thanks to that terrifying Life Force, the Grass Type Moves it uses are not only powerful but also not particularly afraid of Fire Type Moves. As the grass’s power gets burned, its internal Life Force fills the gap."

"That means... if you can’t destroy all the Grass Type Moves at once, you’ll face the constantly regrowing robust plants. This is why Frenzy Plant isn’t particularly afraid of Fire Type Moves."
