**Palace Gate Stadium Audience Seats**
"This... this... this... Unbelievable! Unbelievable!!"
"What... What just happened???"
"Did I... Did I see that right?"
"Regice lost its ability to fight, and Pikachu won? How... How is this possible!!"
"Oh my god, this actually happened!"
Many viewers, still processing what they had seen, were so shocked that they stuttered.
**Instant Kill! Instant Kill!**
Mr. Brandon's legendary Pokémon, Regice, had cleared its paralysis status through Rest, restoring its full strength and stamina.
But even so...
It was instantly defeated by Ash's Pikachu's Volt Tackle!?!
"It's over... It's really over just like that??"
Chibana, seated in the Champion Guest section, wore an expression of shock.
"Well... It seems to be over, and the way it ended was beyond anything we could have imagined."
Even Professor Oak was stunned.
"A full-strength Volt Tackle... instantly defeated Regice..."
Cynthia, too, looked astonished.
She had believed that Ash would win in the end.
But she hadn't expected it to happen like this!
Pikachu, despite being so close to exhaustion, defeated the legendary Pokémon Regice, at full health and full strength, in just one move!
This, without a doubt...
left a profound impression on Cynthia and the champion trainers.
"Ash and Pikachu truly have this kind of power."
Uncle Alder was visibly shaken.
"Pikachu is just... too strong. This isn't the work of an ordinary trainer. Even the trump card Pokémon of an Elite Trainer might not withstand such a Volt Tackle."
Diantha, the Champion of the Kalos Region, froze in astonishment.
Ash's Pikachu had always been special.
This was a fact everyone knew.
It had battled Regice for so long, trading powerful moves.
Pikachu, at its peak, might already be at an Elite-level strength.
But the sheer power it displayed in that final moment...
was far beyond an ordinary Elite-level Pokémon!
Not just Ice-type Pokémon like Regice—
even Ground-type Pokémon might have been obliterated by that Volt Tackle!
If this attack had been aimed at Dodo's Gyarados, it wouldn't have survived, even if it had ten lives!

**Kanto Region, Team Rocket Headquarters**
"What the hell!! How is this possible!!"
Team Rocket Executive Proton was so shocked his jaw dropped.
"Did Brandon let it happen? How is it possible for Regice, fully rested and at full strength, to be taken out in one move?! Even Dodo might not be able to pull that off."
Ariana was equally stunned.
"Damn brat... Is that Pikachu really this powerful!?"
Archer, watching the scene, smacked his lips in disbelief.
This was the first time he had ever seen such an absurdly powerful Pikachu.
Even Giovanni, Team Rocket's leader, wore a frozen expression.
The strength Pikachu displayed...
was far beyond that of an ordinary Pokémon.
To defeat a legendary Pokémon with a single strike...
How many Pokémon in the world could achieve such a feat?

**Sinnoh Region, Veilstone City**
"How is this even possible!!!"
When Shinji saw the scene unfold, his usual cold demeanor vanished.
"Ash..."
Reggie was equally shocked and left speechless.
Mr. Brandon had lost.
This was a completely unexpected outcome for Reggie.
In his mind, Mr. Brandon was invincible.
But now...
Mr. Brandon had truly lost.
And it was a devastating loss.
Regice, known for its impenetrable defenses, had been shattered by Pikachu's final Volt Tackle...
**Terrifying!**
This was truly terrifying!
Was this really just a Pikachu?
Or was it some kind of Mega Invincible Pokémon disguised as Pikachu?!

**Sinnoh Region, Sunyshore City**
Volkner stared in disbelief, murmuring:
"How... did he manage this? With the strength Pikachu displayed, it could compete in the Elite Exchange Tournament without any issue."
"No... It could even participate in the Masters Eight Tournament."
Volkner, the Sunyshore Gym Leader, had a strong reputation.
He was known as "Sunyshore Thunder" and regarded as one of the most powerful Electric-type trainers in Sinnoh.
However, witnessing this battle rekindled something in him.
Volkner had grown disillusioned with battles over the years.
He had even begun awarding Beacon Badges without requiring challengers to battle.
But after watching Ash and Pikachu's performance, his eyes lit up.
Excitement returned.
"If Ash and Pikachu visit in the future, Raichu, we'll have to be ready." Volkner said to the Raichu at his side.
"Raichu!"
Hearing its Trainer's newfound enthusiasm, Raichu responded with excitement.

**Kanto Region, Cinnabar Island**
"That little brat did an amazing job! Pikachu's incredible! It finally defeated that giant ice block."
Jessie jumped up in excitement.
"That was incredible! The final Volt Tackle defeated a fully-rested Regice. So cool!"
James shared her enthusiasm.
"I told you, meow~ That brat's Pikachu is leagues beyond any Pikachu we've ever seen."
"As long as it tries, there's nothing Pikachu can't do, meow~"
Team Rocket's infamous trio celebrated with glee.
They seemed even more excited than Ash himself.
"Now... that little brat's Pikachu has proven it's stronger than a legendary Pokémon. If we can present Pikachu to Giovanni..."
James' eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"That could get me promoted to branch manager, meow~"
Meowth added.
Afterward, the trio shared a look.
Imagining their future success, they grinned and exclaimed in unison:
"What a great feeling!!!"
