"What's going on!" Looking at Growlithe's current appearance, Takeo was very puzzled. Although Growlithe's flame vortex was suppressed by his Rhydon, all the hair on Growlithe's body stood up one by one, giving off a fierce feeling!
"I have to say, to be able to force my Growlithe to use this move, this is also my miscalculation. It seems that the gap between a High Elite and a Quasi-High Elite is not something that can be reversed by tactics alone!"
"The first gate of the Eight Inner Gates – Gate of Opening, the second gate – Gate of Healing – Open!!!" Looking at Growlithe's appearance, Ash immediately gave the order. The Eight Inner Gates was created by Ash according to the body techniques in Naruto and the physique of Pokémon!
This Eight Inner Gates was forbidden by Ash because the side effects of this move on the body were very great. In the worst case, it could lead to death. There were eight gates in the Eight Inner Gates technique, and opening each gate would instantly increase one's strength!
The Gate of Opening, the Gate of Healing, the Gate of Life, the Gate of Pain, the Gate of Limit, the Gate of View and the Gate of Wonder, each gate required a certain level of physical strength, especially the Gate of Death, once opened, there was a 98% chance of death.
Because Ash was afraid that his Pokémon would act recklessly, his Pokémon had only learned the first three gates and he had not started teaching the rest. Moreover, Ash did not intend to teach them the Gate of Death, after all, it was too dangerous!
"Woof!!!" Hearing Ash's words, Growlithe's body was instantly wrapped in flames, and the flame vortex seemed to have been reborn. Its power also suppressed the Rhydon's Hyper Beam!
"What!!! How is this possible, it can actually increase the power of a skill in an instant? And this skill doesn't seem to be Flash Fire, after all, the power of Flash Fire is limited! "Looking at Growlithe's explosive might, Takeo's eyes widened!
"This skill is so strong, it can actually instantly suppress a Pokémon that is four levels higher than itself!"
"Not only that, the Eight Inner Gates, just from the name, you can tell that there are eight gates. Just now, Ash only allowed Growlithe to open two gates, and just two gates can already reach this level, if all eight gates are opened …"
There was no need to say the rest, everyone present also understood the meaning of this skill, but this skill was really hard to believe, not to mention that Ash was only a fifteen-year-old youth!
"It shouldn't be that easy, this skill called Eight Inner Gates is indeed very strong, but it definitely has a side effect. Otherwise, for Ash to be able to let Growlithe enter this state from the start, it seems like there is a side effect and time limit!" Unlike Mitch Wright and John Wright who were shocked, Henry Wright was a bit more careful!
Ethan who was at the side was already completely speechless. Although he was the champion, when facing Ash who was only a quasi-High Elite, Ethan felt an unprecedented pressure. Creating a skill, although it was easy to say, if one were to put it into practice, it would take at least a few years of effort to complete it!
"Damn it, is the power still not enough? I definitely can't open the third gate, with Growlithe's current physique, the side effect of opening three gates is too great!"
"Growlithe, enter the Flash Fire state, use all of your strength to increase the power behind the flame vortex!" Thinking up to here, Ash instantly gave the order. Flash Fire also increased the power of a Pokémon's skill!
"Woof!!!"
Hearing Ash's words, Growlithe's entire body, which was covered in flames, emitted a red glow. The red flames gradually began to turn blue, and a blue flame vortex instantly surged up against the previous skill!
"Impossible, it can actually make a Pokémon activate its ability on its own!" Seeing Ash give this order, Takeo and the people in the monitoring room stood up in shock!
The Ability of a Pokémon could only be triggered when its physique was reduced to a certain level. Moreover, this trigger would not succeed every time, it should be said that there was only a 50% chance of success!
"Boom boom boom!!!"
With the power of Flash Fire, the blue flame vortex finally hit Rhydon, causing a cloud of dust to fly up on the battlefield. At this moment, Ash and Takeo were both anxiously looking at the dust on the battlefield!
Not long after, the dust on the battlefield dissipated, and everyone saw Rhydon and Growlithe on the battlefield. At this moment, the two Pokémon had already lost their ability to fight, and had fallen on the battlefield!
Rhydon had suffered quite a bit of damage from the previous battle, and with the addition of the blue flame vortex at the end, Rhydon had lost its ability to fight. Growlithe had also suffered quite a bit of damage from the previous battle, and had also opened two gates. Because her physique was not very strong, the side effect of the Eight Inner Gates came very quickly, and she had also lost her ability to fight!
"Rhydon and Growlithe have both lost their ability to fight at the same time. This battle is a draw. Gym Leader, please proceed to the next battle!" Seeing that the two Pokémon had lost their ability to fight, the referee, Brock, immediately determined the outcome of the battle!
"Growlithe, you've done very well. The reason we lost this time is because of me. The main reason is that I underestimated a High Elite. I'm sorry!" After retrieving Growlithe, Ash said to Growlithe in the Poké Ball!
"What an exciting battle. He was actually able to fight a High Elite Middle Stage Rhydon to a draw with a Quasi-High Elite Early Stage Growlithe. I don't think many people would believe it even if I told them about it!"
"The biggest highlight is the Pokémon skills that Ash created. They're really amazing, and every one of them is very powerful!"
After the two Pokémon lost their ability to fight at the same time, the people in the monitoring room all expressed their admiration for Ash's battle!
"Come out, Golem!" Not long after, Takeo released his second Pokémon, Golem!
A large tortoise type Pokémon made of round stones appeared on the battlefield. Just from the sound of its feet stepping on the ground, one could tell that this Golem was definitely heavier than Rhydon. This also reflected the defensive power of this Pokémon!
"System, list Golem's information!" Looking at the Pokémon in front of him, Ash once again asked the system to list its information. However, this time, the pressure on Ash was even greater because the level displayed on the information was too much for him to bear!
"Ding ~!"
Name: Golem
Level: High Elite Late Stage
Ability: Rock Head, Sturdy
Attributes: Ground, Rock
Potential: 100% (Developed 57%)
"Onix, I choose you!" This time, Ash sent out Onix. Pikachu was destined to be the finale, and Pidgeotto was a Flying Type. It focused on speed. Although its power was not bad, against a High Elite Late Stage, it probably would not be able to do much damage to Golem!
"Roar!!!" As soon as the Onix appeared, a loud roar could be heard. Its huge body gave off a very strong sense of intimidation!
Looking at Ash's Onix, Mitch said in shock, "It's so big. This Onix's size is almost the same as a Steelix!"
"I never thought that there would be such a rare Pokémon in the wild. Looks like Ash's luck is not bad!"
"However, this battle will be very difficult. After all, it's a High Elite Late Stage. The difference in level is too great!"
