Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile-Chapter 706 - 378: Ace vs Ace, Pikachu vs Slaking!

"Lucky..."

On the field, Blissey let out a weak whimper that was almost inaudible, the sound devoid of its usual gentleness and strength, only extreme frailty remained.

She struggled to get back on her feet, but even after recovering with Egg, her body was still severely damaged under the intense heat of the flames.

Restoring half of the HP through Egg didn’t help much, as Charizard’s ATK and the Flare Blitz with Hard Claws could almost completely empty Blissey’s HP.

After all, despite Blissey’s strong physical strength, it was still no match for a formidable physical attacker; its maximum HP was still inadequate.

Pure physical strength doesn’t equate to overall defensive power. With Blissey’s pitifully low defensive power, facing an ultimate physical attacker like Charizard, especially with a direct hit from Flare Blitz under Hard Claws, even with Blissey’s higher Level than Charizard, it was futile.

In the end, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Blissey slowly closed her eyes, tilted her head, and lost her ability to battle.

"Roar!!" Charizard roared towards the sky, hot flames soaring high, signaling its excitement.

This battle ended quickly, but Blissey still caused quite a bit of trouble, and with Blissey at a higher Level, Charizard was quite surprised at being able to defeat her with one hit.

"How could... Dad’s Blissey... Dad’s Blissey has such high physical strength! How could it be defeated in one hit!!" Victor was utterly incredulous, muttering to himself, unable to accept this fact.

Previously, when his father battled others with Blissey, although there was never a scene where Blissey could kill with one hit, there were scenes where opponents exhausted all efforts and could barely scratch Blissey. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Often, enemies would manage to deplete Blissey’s physical strength, only for Blissey to use a single Egg move to fully restore her HP.

Victor, even knowing Blissey’s typical commands, understood that the strategy was to minimize Blissey to increase the chance of evading enemy attacks, and then use Skills to counter the opponent during missed attacks.

If HP dropped to a certain level, the strategy was to immediately use Egg to recover, ultimately leaving the enemy worn out by Blissey’s enduring tactics.

That’s how the legend of the pink demon came to be!

In Victor’s impression, his father’s Blissey had never lost a battle before, but today she wasn’t just defeated, she was killed in a single hit. That Charizard was absurdly powerful!

Is Ash really only fifteen? How could a fifteen-year-old train such a formidable Pokemon, more powerful than the Pokemon his father had trained for more than ten years? It’s so unreasonable!

"Victor, don’t get too worked up, the battle isn’t over yet. If you act like this, it might affect Dad." May patted Victor’s shoulder, signaling him to stay calm.

Judging by Victor’s posture, he practically wanted to rush into the field to check on Blissey, unable to believe Blissey was knocked out.

But this was the harsh reality! Blissey was indeed killed in one hit by Charizard’s Flare Blitz. Such high HP, a Pokemon known as a blood cow; once it’s faced a situation where it could be killed in one hit, its overall strength greatly diminishes.

Blissey’s ATK itself wasn’t strong, even the special attack was relatively strong, relying solely on offense to defeat opponents was a pipe dream.

To defeat an opponent, it relied on endless wear-down tactics, using Egg Skills to continuously deplete the opponent, which was the best strategy.

Unfortunately, against Charizard with ultimate ATK, the wear-down strategy could only concede defeat.

If it were an ordinary Charizard, even with close-range attacks, it wouldn’t kill Blissey in one hit, hardly one hit; if a single hit could deplete a third of Blissey’s HP it would be a miracle for Charizard.

Without Hard Claws, Species Value ATK boost, a vast Level difference, how could Charizard take on Blissey?

Unfortunately, there were no such ifs. Post-MEGA Evolution, Charizard’s skill hits could definitely defeat Blissey.

Norman sighed gently, then recalled Blissey: "Hard work, Blissey. I’m sorry, there was a bit of a command error. I’ll take you to the Pokemon Center later."

After apologizing to Blissey in the Pokeball, Norman took out his last Pokeball.

"Honestly, before battling you, Ash, I never thought I’d be pushed to this extent. To be accurate, I never thought I’d be pushed to this point by you in this state."

The "this state" referred to Ash not using Aura Fusion.

Although Ash defeated Lorelei, any Trainer with experience could see that Ash’s Pokemon achieved that feat with his special power, otherwise, with an Elite Level Pokemon against Champion Level Pokemon, how could it compete?

Thus, before engaging in battle with Ash, Norman prepared for Ash to use that special power augmentation for his Pokemon.

If Ash used that method, even Norman would struggle to cope, having to fight with all his might, but most likely the result would still be a loss.
