Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile-Chapter 683 - 366: Pikachu vs Suicune, the Burst of Volt Tackle!
In Ash’s eyes, Suicune’s various data has already appeared. In addition to reaching the Champion Advanced Level, its physical strength, special attack, and speed have all reached S-Class, and the other three attributes have also reached A-Level. Such data placed on ordinary Pokemon would be considered extremely luxurious.
However, when placed on a Legendary Beast, it can only be said to be average. Ash has seen four or five S-Class ability value Legendary Pokémon, not just one or two; he’s even seen plenty with all S-Class stats. Moreover, his Gardevoir also has a full S-Class ability cap.
Therefore, Suicune’s stats aren’t enough to shock him yet. In terms of combat power, it should be on par with Pikachu.
Pikachu’s level is Junior Elite Level; after entering partner form, it can reach Mid-Elite Level. With Aura Fusion, it achieves Champion Intermediate Level. Plus, with the boost from the Light Ball, confronting Champion Advanced Level Suicune directly is not a problem. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
’I’ll take care of the surrounding safety. You can just fight to your heart’s content.’ Mewtwo’s voice appeared in the hearts of Suicune and Ash and the others, followed by a barrier that enveloped both Pikachu and Suicune. The range was precisely the size of a battlefield, coincidentally the range cleared by the mist.
The top of the barrier is left open. After all, some skill moves require the power of heaven and earth. If the top was also shielded, some skills couldn’t be used.
Now that Mewtwo, at the Intermediate Divine Realm Level, is covering a battle between two Champion Advanced Level Pokémon, he has absolutely no problem.
Even against Divine Domain Level clashes, he could still defend. Psychic-type Pokemon are the most comprehensive in their development among all Pokemon at the same level, not to mention Mewtwo is a Psychic-type Legendary Beast.
Suicune glanced around the barrier, understanding why Ash released Mewtwo. To his surprise, the emissary of Ho-Oh carried a field restrictor.
In this way, they could indeed completely fight without reservations. Otherwise, if a battle between Champion Level Pokémon continued without ending quickly, it might destroy the entire forest, and even distant New Bark Town could be affected.
"Ooh!" Suicune issued a cry and initiated the attack. He opened his mouth wide, and a water-blue column of water sprayed out, spiraling toward Pikachu.
The moment the water column appeared, even the surrounding water vapor seemed to increase!
The power, the size — without a doubt, this move is a Water-Type ultimate move — Hydro Pump!
Shooting Hydro Pump instantly, that is the power of a Legendary Beast.
"Pikachu, use Quick Attack to dodge!" Only an idiot would endure the power of such an ultimate move head-on. Ash decisively commanded Pikachu to evade first.
Before he finished speaking, Pikachu’s golden figure turned into a shadow, electric light sparkled beneath its feet, instantly moving horizontally several meters.
Almost at the same time it left the original spot, the water-blue Hydro Pump slammed down with a bang!
"Boom!"
The violent impact reverberated through the ground, which hummed and vibrated, blasting a crater several meters in diameter from what was once flat forest land. Soil overturned at the crater’s bottom, and nearby shrubs and small trees were snapped in half by the force of the water flow, while spray scattered like a torrential downpour.
Even though Pikachu’s motion was extremely fast, some of the spray still splattered onto it. However, this caused Pikachu no harm or impact.
"Now’s the time! Pikachu, use Volt Tackle with full force!" Ash seized the gap when Suicune used its move and gave a sudden arm command.
Pikachu, whose foot just touched the ground, had its eyes bursting with electric light, its cheeks’ electric sacs flashing furiously, golden currents condensed into thick electric posts winding around it, turning Pikachu into an electric mouse forged as though in gold, its fur standing on end due to the fullness of the current, tilting the air surrounding its body with scorching heat.
"Pika Pika Pika!" With Pikachu’s cry, the destructive aura of Volt Tackle transformed into golden thunder, blasting straight towards Suicune.
As the electric current passed, puddles on the ground were instantly electrolyzed, producing a vast amount of white bubbles. The originally moist soil was scorched to cracking by the current, the remaining water currents across the ground traced webs of scorch marks. The entire battlefield seemed as if it had transformed into an inferno of electric light.
Suicune’s pupils contracted, feeling the terrifying energy contained in the Volt Tackle. It had a heavy expression, rapid sounds issuing from its mouth.
"Ooh!" As the sound rang out, the water vapor around Suicune crazily gathered, the puddles at its feet seemed dragged by invisible forces, swiftly rotating. In just a brief moment, a deep blue whirlpool several meters in diameter formed, its swirling waters rushing fiercely, the sound of the wind howling as it sheltered Suicune firmly at the center.
Water-Type skill Whirlpool! This move corresponds to the Fire-Type’s Fire Spin. Although the damage it causes isn’t very high, it inflicts continuous damage that makes escaping the whirlpool impossible.
Although Whirlpool is an attack skill, when used for defense, it can also become a solid bulwark.
"Boom!" The golden Volt Tackle collided heavily with the deep blue Whirlpool. Screeching electric currents and exploding water sounds intertwined, shaking the barrier slightly.
Initially, Whirlpool relied on its rushing water flow barely resisting the current’s assault. At the collision areas between water flow and current, white mist constantly erupted while tiny electric flashes suffused the whirlpool’s wall.
However, as the force of Pikachu and Ash incrementally increased, the whirlpool created by Suicune began to be eroded by the golden currents, currents like boa constrictors wrapping entirely around the whirlpool, with Pikachu as the core force constantly assaulting the whirlpool’s center.
"Crack!" Cracks first appeared on the Whirlpool wall. The rotation speed of the water flow gradually slowed, and the originally deep blue whirlpool started becoming muddied.
The next moment, with a thunderous roar, Volt Tackle completely shattered Whirlpool’s defense. The golden currents moved as if floodwaters rushing forth, striking straight upon Suicune while spreading throughout the battlefield.
Suicune let out a painful cry, its body knocked several meters by the currents, landing heavily on the ground, its fur slightly smoking from the electric shock, numerous areas on its body already showing charring.
In terms of attack, Pikachu in the entire team stands amongst the top. Volt Tackle is also a major ultimate in Electric-Type moves. Even Suicune shouldn’t think of blocking this move with just a Whirlpool.
On the battlefield, the water churned by Whirlpool had reached boiling, the ground covered with craters of varying depths, the surrounding trees’ trunks charred black from the currents, the air filled with a mingled smell of water vapor and burnt odor.
The terrifying combat aftershock didn’t harm Misty and the others at all. You can always trust Mewtwo.jpg!
"Ash’s Pikachu has gotten stronger again! To think it can break through the Whirlpool of Suicune head-on. Previously, even if adding Ash’s power and partner form, it likely wouldn’t have been able to break through that defense," Brock said, filled with emotion.
It’s only been a month since he and Ash last parted, yet Pikachu has made significant progress again. This isn’t just a matter of moving from the gym to Elite Level, Pikachu is among the extremely strong batch of Pokémon within Junior Elite Level.
Otherwise, relying on external power to rise to Champion Intermediate Level, why would it be capable of breaking through the defense of Champion Advanced Level Suicune?
Even attribute advantage wouldn’t suffice.
"What is partner form? Is it because of Ash’s hat?" Serena doesn’t yet know about Pikachu’s partner form. Although it isn’t the first time Ash has displayed his partner form, it’s the first time Serena has heard of this term.
Previously, during the match against Yuji, the partner form was used, but at that time her focus was entirely on the battle, overlooking Pikachu’s special transformation.
Hearing this, Misty also explained the so-called partner form to Serena a bit. It’s Ash’s Pikachu’s exclusive state. As soon as it wears the hat, it can enhance its strength, be of one heart and unity, and possess exclusive skills, nicknamed — hacker mode.
"Wearing a hat makes it that powerful! Is the hat miraculous, or is Ash’s Pikachu special?"
Misty shook her head: "Neither, what’s special is... Ash!"
