Chapter 117: Charmander Goes To Battle

"Where?!" Lt. Surge narrowed his eyes, trying to find the trace of Charmander in the thick smoke, but his eyesight was obviously not up to the level of detecting through the smoke, so he could only search blindly.

The same was true for Magneton. Although it had three eyes, which greatly increased its range of vision, the smoke covered almost one-fifth of the battlefield, with a width of 20 to 30 meters. Finding the small Charmander wasn't easy.

"It's this tactic again...it's it again!" Lt. Surge gritted his teeth. These weak Pokémon always used these pointless moves, "Magneton, use Thunderbolt and shoot through the Smokescreen!"

"Magnemite!"

Magneton received the order and acted immediately. Electric-type energy was stimulated and gathered in the center of the three Magnemite, forming a dazzling aura. The next moment, it blasted out.

The irregular lightning penetrated the air and blasted into the smoke at the left side, then followed the ground and shot all the way to the right!

On the other side, although the smoke blocked the sight of Ash and Charmander, Ash didn't panic because he had seen this scene before and had thought of ways to deal with it.

"Charmander, get out of the smoke's range, and go to the leftmost edge!" Ash issued a command to Charmander, and this command also involved a certain amount of risk.

This tactic also had certain shortcomings; it couldn't defend against moves with a huge attack range, such as Surf, Blizzard, etc., but Magneton didn't have such moves, so the smoke was a good hindrance, which was why Ash had Charmander learn this move.

Charmander immediately exited the range of the smoke, appeared in front of Ash, and then quickly ran to the left of the smoke. Just when it reached the target point, a thunderbolt suddenly appeared in front of it, less than a meter away.

Although the Thunderbolt quickly shot towards the right, it still surprised Charmander, and even Ash couldn't help raising his eyebrows, thinking that Lt. Surge had discovered Charmander's actions.

"Now, Charmander!" Ash reacted immediately, seizing the momentary opportunity, and letting Charmander rush out, "Use Flamethrower on Magneton!"

"Char!" Charmander rushed out of the smoke in front of it without hesitation, looked at Magneton for the first time, and condensed flames shot out from its mouth!

"What?! Get out of the way!"

Lt. Surge was taken aback, and Magneton obviously didn't expect Charmander to appear at this time. It had just completed Thunderbolt's strafing, and it was the time when the old power was not exhausted and the new power was not generated, making it impossible to dodge!

"Boom!" The scorching flames struck Magneton through a distance of tens of meters, and the power of the raging fire blasted Magneton back several meters, causing high-temperature smoke to emit from Magneton. Its breath became weaker, and it had obviously suffered a lot of damage!

"Damn! Damn! Damn!" Lt. Surge felt that he was about to explode, but he was a Great Ball trainer after all, so he quickly forced himself to calm down, and after taking a deep breath, his eyes became cold.

It was true that he had a huge shortcoming, but in the battle, as long as he calmed down, he believed that he would definitely be able to win this battle!

"Magneton, use Magnet Bomb!" Lt. Surge no longer pursued powerful moves, but wanted to rely on the gap in strength to defeat Charmander through some moves that were easier to hit. Magnet Bomb was a good choice.

Magnet Bomb used biomagnetism on the opponent's body to launch a Steel-type bomb to track the opponent, so that the attack could hit the opponent to the greatest extent.

Although the Fire-type could reduce the damage by half, as long as it could hit, it could cause a lot of trauma to the normal-level Charmander!

"Magneton!" Magneton screamed, and the energy of the Steel-type was stimulated, condensing into three steel balls around it, and strands of white electric arcs were wrapped around the steel balls. At the same time, Charmander's body also flashed with electric arcs!

Attracted by the magnetism of Charmander, three steel balls flew out suddenly, and the target was exactly where Charmander was!

Ash's face changed slightly when he saw this. He couldn't block the opponent's sight with smoke to avoid it, because it didn't rely on visual tracking.

Instead, it was magnetic tracking!

"Charmander, Flamethrower!" Ash asked Charmander to use Flamethrower to crush the three steel balls without hesitation.

"Charr!" Charmander roared, and hot flames spewed out of his mouth again, turning into a dragon-like form and meeting the three steel balls.

"Boom!" The energy collision erupted with a powerful shock that swept across all four directions. Charmander had to use his hands to block himself, while the closer Lt. Surge stepped back half a meter.

"Can it be counteracted?!" Lt. Surge couldn't believe it. It was just a Charmander, and it was only at the ordinary level, yet it was able to compete with the moves of the elite-level Magneton. This made him even more uncomfortable; after all, the opponent was just an unevolved Charmander!

Thinking of this, Lt. Surge's face became more and more ugly. The Pokémon he looked down upon could resist the Pokémon he was proud of, in front of so many people...

Ash breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that the difference in strength between Charmander and Magneton was not too far, and with the advantage of the Fire-type, there was still a chance, as long as the opponent showed his flaws.

Lt. Surge didn't know how to deal with this battle for a while. Thunderbolt and Tri Attack could be blocked by the opponent's smoke, and Magnet Bomb could be offset by the opponent's attack.

If he had let Magneton use Magnet Bomb to consume Charmander's physical strength from the beginning, there was still a chance, but the problem was that after suffering a Flamethrower, Magneton's physical strength had dropped by at least 1/2, and the total amount was not as good as Charmander's. If he continued to try to wear Charmander down, Magneton would surely be the first to fall!

"No! There is still a chance! There is still!" Lt. Surge's eyes lit up; he thought of a way, swung his right hand suddenly, and issued an order to Magneton, "Magneton, use Supersonic!"

"Magneton!" Magneton made a piercing sound, and then a sound wave visible to the naked eye suddenly spread, impacting Charmander's body.

Ash's face changed. Supersonic had no damaging effect, but it had a special ability, which was to make the opponent fall into a confused state, and the current Charmander was like this.

After the sound wave passed by, Charmander seemed a little dazed. Its body was constantly swaying, and its eyes were constantly rolling around, as if he couldn't see clearly.

"Don't give up, Charmander! Think about your past, do you want to fail like this? Use Flamethrower!" Ash had no other choice now but to see how strong Charmander's own will was, and whether it could resist the confusion brought about by the attack.

After hearing Ash's shout, Charmander's eyes suddenly became clearer. It looked at Magneton, its face became fierce, and hot flames suddenly spurted out, heading straight for Magneton!
