Ash also saw that the Flareon was terrifyingly powerful. The other Pokémon in his hand were not Rival at all. Among the remaining Pokémon, there was only Pikachu.
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu took the initiative to walk away from Ash and into the field.
"Pikachu, are you willing to fight?" Ash was very surprised. Normally, Pikachu would retreat when encountering such a powerful Rival.
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu nodded. Although it sometimes avoided fighting, it was still willing to help Ash to fulfill his dream, especially in this battle. How could it be so serious?
"Okay, then Pikachu, this battle will be handed over to you in the end." Ash said.
Seeing Pikachu on the field, Brock and the others were also very nervous. After all, Blaine's Flareon was very strong. If Charizard did not trigger the ability of the Flareon, Pikachu would still have a chance of winning, but without "320"... Pikachu's chance of winning was not very big.
"Gary, do you think Pikachu can win?" Misty asked.
"I don't know, it depends on the situation." Gary shook his head.
It's unclear whether Pikachu can win, but Gary can be sure that Pikachu has strong electricity. He noticed this when he fought with Ash.
"Let me see how strong your Pikachu is." Blaine had tested Pikachu before and was also curious about the strength of this Pikachu.
", use Flamethrower."
Flareon Spit Up merciless flames, a wave of flames and heat swept towards Pikachu, leaving no room for escape. If Pikachu wants to hide, it can only Dig or fly into the sky.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash ordered.
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu released golden lightning, lightning exploded, flashing Thunder Shock in the flames, instantly detonating it, the explosion produced a strong impact, spreading outward, almost blowing away both the Flareon and Pikachu.
"Equally matched!" Misty was surprised. She thought that the skill match of Pikachu would not be a Flareon Rival. It seems that Pikachu is still very powerful.
But Gary was very confused, and at the same time he was sure of one thing, that is, Pikachu is an Actor.
When fighting with Ash in the hot spring town, Pikachu's Thunder Shock was not that powerful, and it couldn't even defeat Gary's Primeape. How come it can tie with the Pokémon that triggers Flash Fire Ability now?
Especially since Pikachu is only level 39, Bainel's fire Pokémon is 11 levels difference, which has crossed the range of 10 levels. Pikachu is definitely an Actor.
"Since it can be tied, use Fire Blast!" Blaine ordered.
"Don't give the flareon a chance to use Fire Blast, Quick Attack." Ash counterattacked.
Swoosh!
Pikachu drew out a stream of white light and rushed to the Flareon that had just jumped, knocking it away and interrupting the release of Fire Blast.
Bang!
After the flareon landed, it Spit Up attacked Pikachu with large flames, but Pikachu relied on its short body to pass through the gap of Fire Blast and successfully avoided it.
"Good, that's it." Ash was very surprised. As long as Fire Blast didn't hit Pikachu, there would be no danger.
"In that case, let Pikachu be unable to dodge, use Lava Plume!" Blaine ordered.
The Flareon burst into flames all over its body. With the Flareon as the center, the flames turned into heat waves and spread out in all directions, attacking the entire field, not giving Pikachu a chance to dodge.
"Pika!!"
Pikachu used Thunderbolt to counterattack.
Boom!!
The heat wave in Thunder Shock instantly exploded, and the huge shock wave sent Pikachu flying several meters away. Flareon was not seriously injured, but the hair on its body was a little messy.
"Pika...!"
Pikachu was a little tired. He was hurt by the shock wave twice in a row, and he exhausted his Discharge power, which consumed a lot of Pikachu. After all, the level gap was there.
Ash felt that this was not a solution. If he continued to fight like this, he would not be able to cause effective damage to the Flareon. So he changed his tactics and ordered: "Pikachu, use Thunder!"
"Pika~chu!"
Pikachu released Thunder, and a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket was released from Pikachu's body. Thunder turned into a long snake worm and flew to Soaring in the sky, leaving a golden arc on Soaring in the sky and falling towards the Flareon.
Flareon didn't dodge and took Pikachu's Thunder. It was not a big deal because the Flareon's special defense was relatively high, and Pikachu's Thunder couldn't cause much damage.
"What!"
"Pikachu!"
Ash and Pikachu were both very surprised that the Flareon could take Thunder without changing its expression.
"It's our turn to attack, Flare Blitz!" Blaine didn't hide his weakness and let the Fire Pokémon use the strongest fire-type move.
Blazing flames burst out from the Pokémon's body, and the flames lingered outside the Fire Pokémon's body. Then, the Flareon quickly rushed towards Pikachu.
"Pikachu, Thunder stop it!" Ash ordered.
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu saw that the Flareon was releasing a big move, and Normal Thunder would definitely not be able to stop it. It gathered a little electricity and released Thunder, but the Flareon was already close, and Thunder hit the flame ball.
Boom!!!
There was an explosion.
A cloud of black smoke suddenly rose up, covering the stadium, and the black smoke soon dissipated, revealing the figures of sheon and Pikachu.
Pikachu lay on the ground motionless, and the fire Pokémon maintained the posture of a winner.
"Pikachu, are you okay?" Ash immediately rushed into the stadium, picked up Pikachu, and checked Pikachu's injuries.
"Pika...!" Pikachu slowly opened his eyes. It had tried its best just now, but it was still not a Rival of the Flareon.
"It's okay, we will win back." Ash comforted.
The gym battle between Blaine and Ash ended.
Everyone returned to the Laboratory and used the healing equipment in the Laboratory to restore all the defeated Pokémon.
While the Pokémon was recovering, Ash was silent.
Misty and Brock also saw Ash like this for the first time, but Ash didn't need their comfort. Ash was thinking about the next tactics.
Although they lost the gym battle, the normal battle process was still thrilling, but this was not Ash's credit.
If Gary hadn't provoked Charizard, Charizard would not be willing to fight, and this situation would not have happened.
In the next battle, Gary was not there, and Ash didn't know whether Charizard was still willing to fight. Even if Charizard was willing to fight, Blaine already knew Charizard's fighting mode and would definitely be on guard.
So Ash's second battle with Blaine would be much more difficult than the first time.
At this time.
Gary and Blaine also came to the treatment room, and there was an Eevee lying on Gary's shoulder. .
