"Bulba!" Bulbasaur yelled, Grass-type energy was activated, and a small brown seed shot out from the mouth of the bulbous seed on its back, hitting Electrode directly!
"Dodge the attack!" However, in the face of this blow, Lt. Surge gave the order freely, not paying attention to it.
Although Electrode has no hands and feet, and looks bulky, it is actually very fast. It also has a speed advantage among most Pokémon, so a slight roll allowed it to avoid the Leech Seed attack.
"What other moves do you have? Use them all and let me see." Lt. Surge looked at Ash and Bulbasaur with a taunting smile, and then his face turned hideous and terrifying, "Then die!"
Ash's expression remained the same; he was not affected by Lt. Surge's taunt. Electrode's strength was stronger than Bulbasaur's, and it was normal for Leech Seed to miss. Besides, it was just a feint.
"Bulbasaur, use Razor Leaf." Ash waved his right hand and issued another command to Bulbasaur.
"Bulba!" A ruthless look flashed in Bulbasaur's eyes, Grass-type energy was stimulated again, and several leaves sprayed out from the seed base. Under the influence of the energy, they turned into sharp blades and shot rapidly towards Electrode.
"If you only have this level of power, how could you reach the Poké Ball level!" Lt. Surge looked a bit enraged because, in his opinion, Bulbasaur's power was too weak, far too weak!
"Electrode, use Sonic Boom!" Lt. Surge clenched his right fist and gave an order to Electrode ruthlessly.
"Elec!"
Normal-type energy was activated, and Electrode let out a high-pitched cry. Ripples visible to the naked eye suddenly spread, and at the same time, all the flying leaves that came to the side were scattered, and at the same time, turned into a shockwave that attacked Bulbasaur!
"Use Vine Whip, hit the ground to avoid the attack! Then use Sleep Powder!" Ash smiled lightly. Lt. Surge really underestimated him, and Bulbasaur too!
"Bulba!" Bulbasaur immediately used Vine Whip according to Ash's order, but the target was not the shockwave coming from ahead, but the ground under its feet!
"Bang!"
Taking advantage of the reaction force from the Vine Whip hitting the ground, Bulbasaur took advantage of the momentum, jumped into the air, avoided the shockwave from the attack, and launched Sleep Powder in quick succession. Silver-blue powder scattered from the air, drifting towards Electrode!
"What?!" Lt. Surge's expression changed. He obviously didn't expect the opponent to have this kind of countermeasure, but he quickly reacted and immediately issued an order to Electrode, "Use Sonic Boom again!"
"Elec!" Electrode roared, and Sonic Boom launched again. The shock visible to the naked eye shook off the Sleep Powder floating above it, and then the shockwave attacked the seemingly helpless Bulbasaur in mid-air!
"So... you underestimate me and Bulbasaur too much! This is something that only Bulbasaur and Ivysaur can do before they evolve into Venusaur!" The corners of Ash's mouth raised slightly, without even issuing an order, because of this tactic, he had already practiced it with Bulbasaur!
In mid-air, Bulbasaur, which seemed to have nowhere to rely on, was about to become a target and would be hit by the impact of the Sonic Boom, but it did not panic, and used its unretracted Vine Whip to slam the ground, smashing onto the ground, and elevating itself to a certain position again!
The impact pierced through where Bulbasaur had been, but failed to hit it. This scene once again surprised Lt. Surge, and even the audience couldn't help but exclaim.
"Encore, Sleep Powder!" This way alone was not enough to defeat Electrode, so Ash knew that Sleep Powder was the key to victory in this battle!
"Bulba!" Sleep Powder was launched again, and the silver-blue powder drifted down again. Along with the Sleep Powder that hadn't been completely scattered last time, it also attacked Electrode!
"Even Encore is useless! No, no matter how many times you use Sleep Powder, it is impossible to hit Electrode! Use Sonic Boom!" Although Lt. Surge was shocked by Bulbasaur's performance, he was not careless. He ordered Electrode to perform Sonic Boom again!
"Elec!" Ripple spread out again with Electrode itself, shaking the Sleep Powder around, and then the impact hit Bulbasaur in midair again!
"Bulbasaur, dodge the attack!" But this kind of attack had no effect on Bulbasaur at all. At least, in the case of having enough distance, it was equivalent to giving Bulbasaur enough time to react!
Bulbasaur did not use Vine Whip to hit the ground this time but stretched out the Vine Whip upwards and pushed it against the ceiling to accelerate its fall and avoid the attack of the shockwave!
"Is Sleep Powder coming again?!" Lt. Surge's eyes narrowed slightly. After two rounds of Sleep Powder attacks by Bulbasaur, he also wanted to understand Ash's tactics, so he became vigilant.
But when Bulbasaur landed on the ground, Ash still didn't issue an order to let it use Sleep Powder, which made Lt. Surge's face change slightly, a little ugly, "Did he... guess wrong?"
"Use Vine Whip!" Ash glanced at Electrode and commanded Bulbasaur to attack with Vine Whip.
Bulbasaur launched Vine Whip without any hesitation, and the two slender Vine Whips slashed fiercely at Electrode with a howling sound, piercing through the air.
"It's such a daring direct attack; you really don't know what to do. This time, I won't let you dodge again. Electrode, use Thunderbolt!" Lt. Surge saw that Ash was attacking from the front, with a smirk on his face, and shouted an order at Electrode.
But Electrode didn't respond at all; it just stood there silently, not only didn't fight back against the incoming Vine Whip attack, it didn't even take any evasive moves!
"Bang!" Electrode was slammed and flew several meters away, and rolled out for a few laps. At this moment, Lt. Surge saw that his Electrode had fallen into a sleep status without knowing when!
"How is it possible?!" Lt. Surge looked at this scene in disbelief. Why did Electrode fall asleep?!
"Could it be...?!" Lt. Surge raised his head suddenly, only to find in astonishment that there was Sleep Powder in mid-air that hadn't completely fallen. What was going on?
"Bulbasaur, use Leech Seed!"
Ash didn't miss this opportunity, took advantage of the victory, and ordered Bulbasaur to use Leech Seed.
In this way, even if Electrode lost the ability to fight, even if Smelling Salts came over, its physical strength would continue to be absorbed, and its movement would be subject to certain restrictions!
"Bulba!" Bulbasaur immediately used Leech Seed, and the brown seed hit the sleeping and immobile Electrode without any issue.
Immediately after the seed hit Electrode, it split open, and a large number of vines grew wildly from the seed, instantly entangling Electrode.
Emerald green light flashed across the vines, which was absorbing Electrode's physical strength, and then a group of emerald green light floated out and merged into Bulbasaur's body, restoring Bulbasaur's strength.
