**On the screen**
"Pikachu... lost the battle..."
[Just as the referee of the Battle Pyramid was about to announce that Pikachu had lost its ability to fight...]
"Pikachu!"
[Suddenly, Pikachu's cry interrupted the referee.]
[The audience worldwide was stunned as Pikachu, encased in ice, began to emit golden sparks.]
[A brilliant saffron-colored Thunderbolt shattered the ice and struck Regice, inflicting paralysis.]
Seeing Pikachu, who had regained its fighting spirit, the audience was amazed.

**Palace Gate Stadium Audience Seats**
"I can't believe it! Pikachu… can still stand!!"
"After taking such severe damage and being frozen, even ten Pikachu would have fallen by now."
"It must have heard Ash's call and found the strength to rise again."
"That was incredible. I didn't expect it to keep fighting."
"The battle isn't over yet!!"
The audience erupted in excitement.
---
Meanwhile, Shinji from Veilstone City in the Sinnoh Region and the Team Rocket executives in the Kanto Region were left speechless.
"No way... this is actually happening!?"
Proton was completely dumbfounded.
"Snarl can not only lower the opponent's Special Attack but also remove freezing? How did I not know that?"
Archer was equally shocked.
"I've never seen such an absurd combination!!"
---
Pikachu successfully removed the frozen condition.
Not only that…
Regice was now paralyzed.
It seemed...
This match still held a glimmer of hope!
---
**On the screen**
[Despite being paralyzed, Mr. Brandon showed only a brief expression of surprise before quickly regaining his composure. He gave his next command:]
"Regice, use Focus Punch!"
[The massive Regice lunged forward, delivering a devastating punch aimed at Pikachu.]
"Bang!!!"
[The sheer force knocked Pikachu back, sending it bouncing off several ice pillars.]
[But Pikachu swiftly adjusted its stance, pushing off a wall with its hind legs and rebounding back into the fray!]
"Bang!!!"
[With its Iron Tail glowing metallic silver, Pikachu landed a powerful strike on Regice's icy body.]
[Shards of ice scattered as Regice staggered from the blow.]
[Before Regice could recover, Pikachu leapt forward and delivered another Iron Tail with devastating precision!]

"Two consecutive Iron Tails! Regice's stamina is dropping rapidly!"
Dodo exclaimed in excitement.
"The freezing effect and icy terrain created earlier aren't slowing Pikachu down at all!"
Diantha added with admiration.
"There's a real chance... Ash and Pikachu might actually win this," Cynthia said with a serious tone.
---
**The battle continued—**
[Regice, now heavily injured, was forced into a corner.]
"Use Ice Beam!"
[The icy, zigzag-shaped beam shot toward Pikachu once more.]
[Pikachu dodged nimbly, leaping over the beam.]
[However...]
[Mr. Brandon had no intention of hitting Pikachu. Instead, he aimed the Ice Beam at the battlefield, creating another small iceberg to trap Pikachu.]
[Seeing Pikachu immobilized, Mr. Brandon smirked and gave his command:]
"Use Rest."
"Reeegiiiii..."
[A mechanical sound echoed as Regice fell into a deep sleep, gradually recovering its strength.]
---
**Palace Gate Stadium Audience Seats**
"Not Rest again!"
"This will let Regice recover completely!"
"All the damage done earlier will be for nothing!!!"
"If Ash doesn't act quickly, it's over."
"But is it even possible to defeat Regice before it wakes up?"
The audience was anxious for Ash, as were the ever-enthusiastic Team Rocket trio.
---
**On the screen**
[Pikachu broke free from the iceberg with another Iron Tail.]
[Seeing that Regice was about to wake up, Ash knew he had no choice but to take a gamble:]
"Pikachu, use Volt Tackle!!"
"Pi-ka, Pi-ka, Pi-ka, Pi-ka!!"
[Pikachu dashed forward, its entire body enveloped in a radiant, golden electric aura.]
"Bang Bang Bang!!"
[Every ice pillar blocking Pikachu's path shattered under the force of the Thunderbolts.]
---
**Champion Guest Seats**
"There's still hope..."
Dodo's eyes glinted with determination.
"At this speed, Pikachu might reach Regice before it wakes up..."
Cynthia silently cheered for Ash and Pikachu.
---
**On the screen**
[Pikachu closed in on Regice with lightning speed.]
[But...]
[Pikachu had been trapped in the iceberg for too long.]
[Regice finally woke up!!]
It was over!
At that moment, every fan rooting for Ash felt their hearts sink.
A fully recovered Regice meant one thing—defeat for Pikachu.
However...
What happened next shocked the entire world.
---
**In the video**
[As Regice regained consciousness, Mr. Brandon wasted no time commanding:]
"Use Ice Beam!!"
[The ice-blue, zigzagging beam shot toward Pikachu.]
"Pika!!"
[Pikachu, still shrouded in golden sparks, swerved sharply, dodging the Ice Beam effortlessly.]
[It then leaped high into the air.]
Thunder roared, lightning struck!
With a deafening crash...
Pikachu unleashed its ultimate Volt Tackle, slamming directly into Regice.
[In that instant...]
[Regice froze mid-action, its mechanical body trembling.]
[The overwhelming force...]
[It wasn't normal!!!]
[Regice, unable to withstand the power, was hurled backward.]
[Its massive, crystalline body smashed against the Stadium's stone wall, breaking apart the structure.]
[Amid the rubble and falling debris, Regice lay motionless.]
[It had completely lost its ability to fight.]
---
At that moment...
The entire world went silent.
Looking at the defeated Regice...
Audiences everywhere were stunned.
Just now...
What exactly had happened?
Regice...
Was it truly defeated by Pikachu in a single move?
