Chapter 118 Raichu and Pikachu

"Boom!" The flame bombarded Magneton, pushing it backward continuously. After a while, the flame dissipated, revealing Magneton's body.

Magneton was exuding bursts of smoke, and then fell from midair to the ground, losing the ability to fight!

"Magneton lost the ability to fight, Charmander won!" The referee immediately announced the result loudly.

"H-how could it be..." Lt. Surge couldn't believe what he saw. Charmander, who was affected by the confused status condition, was able to launch an attack with precision and hit Magneton. Could it be that luck wasn't on his side?

"Well done, Charmander!"

Ash clenched his fists hard. Charmander withstood the interference of the confused status condition with its own will, which proved that it did have a strong willpower, and this willpower was one of the cornerstones of becoming a strong Pokémon—worthy of being the future Charizard!

"Char!" After breaking away from the fighting state, the confusion also disappeared. Charmander happily shouted at Ash a few times, and then interacted with Pikachu.

"Come back, Magneton!" Lt. Surge retracted Magneton into the Poké Ball and took a deep breath. Now, he only had one Pokémon left, and Ash still had all three.

"I admit, I really underestimated you..." Lt. Surge looked at Ash, and he had to admit that this boy he looked down upon was indeed a powerful Trainer; at least, in Lt. Surge's opinion, Ash should not be a Poké Ball-level Trainer, but a Great Ball-level Trainer!

"However, I am the final winner of this battle!" Lt. Surge took out the last Poké Ball and threw it vigorously onto the battlefield, "Go, Raichu!"

As the white light from the Poké Ball spread across the battlefield, Raichu, who looked simple and cute, appeared in everyone's sight.

Raichu was more than twice the size of Pikachu, with dark red fur, a white belly, two brown stripes on its back, and a spark-shaped long and thin tail.

It had a pair of ears on its head, and there was a curly part at the end of the ears. The outside was brown and the inside was yellow; the limbs were short, and the hands had no fingers, but round brown palms.

The electric pouches on the cheeks were not red like they were during Pikachu's period, but had turned yellow.

Raichu

Attribute: Electric

Category: Mouse Pokémon

Ability: Static; Hidden Ability: Lightning Rod

Static: Pokémon with this ability has a chance to paralyze the attacker when receiving a contact move.

Strength: Elite

Naturally, this Raichu was not Lt. Surge's real trump card Raichu, but it had also evolved from the Pikachu equipped by the League.

When he got this Pikachu, Lt. Surge allowed it to evolve, so the general growth trajectory was almost the same as the Raichu he cultivated himself, but its strength was not as good as his real trump card Raichu.

But Lt. Surge also believed that with his understanding and use of Raichu, he could definitely defeat Ash's three Pokémon and win this challenge!

After the victory, Lt. Surge would also give the Badge to Ash. Although he didn't like Ash's Pokémon that hadn't evolved yet, he had to admit that Ash's strength qualified him to participate in the Indigo Plateau Conference.

"Come back, Charmander, take a good rest, and leave it to the other companions!" Ash took Charmander back without hesitation. Charmander was not suitable for confronting Raichu.

"Pikachu, it's up to you in the end!" Ash straightened his hat, looked down at Pikachu at his feet, and nodded slightly, indicating that it would go into battle.

"Pika!" Pikachu jumped up excitedly, jumped into the middle of the battlefield, and landed on all fours, with a trace of electric arc floating in the electric pouches on his cheeks, looking full of fighting spirit.

"I won! Ash will definitely win this game!" In the stands, Misty and Brock smiled when they saw that Pikachu was battling. They believed that Pikachu's strength was far beyond that of most Pikachu.

Especially with Pikachu's Thunder, with its terrifying power, even that giant Dragonite would be afraid, let alone this elite Raichu.

Pikachu might not even need to use Thunderbolt; after all, its current strength was also at the elite level!

"It really is... Pikachu..." Lt. Surge calmed himself down, not to be irritated by this Pikachu, then waved his right hand and gave Raichu an order, "In this case, I won't hold back, Raichu, use Thunderbolt!"

...

"Thunder—bolt—!" Raichu let out a high-pitched cry. Electric-type energy surged, and a violent and thick thunderbolt blasted out, heading straight for Pikachu. The speed was incredible, and it was not at all comparable to the moves used by the two Pokémon before.

"Pikachu, use Quick Attack to dodge, and then use Thunderbolt!" Ash didn't want to fight Raichu head-on. Although Pikachu wouldn't be at a disadvantage, he wanted to feign weakness and let his opponent become careless, so that it would be easier to defeat him!

"Pika—!" Pikachu immediately launched Quick Attack, leaving the spot like lightning, causing Raichu's Thunderbolt to hit empty space!

Then, Pikachu paused, and before Raichu could react, Thunderbolt was launched. The thunderbolt came out of the air, attacking Raichu!

"It's so fast!" Lt. Surge's pupils contracted slightly; Pikachu's speed was beyond his expectation. But he was a Great Ball-level trainer after all, so he reacted immediately and issued an order to Raichu, "Dodge the attack!"

Although Raichu also wanted to dodge, Pikachu's attack was too fast. Pikachu had caught Raichu off guard and attacked before Raichu had fully recovered from its previous attack, so its movements were a bit slower.

Although it tried to dodge as much as possible, it still couldn't completely avoid the attack. It was hit by Thunderbolt, and the golden lightning covered its whole body, causing quite a lot of damage to Raichu!

"Thunder—!" Raichu let out a cry of pain, and after half a sound, the thunder light dissipated, and Raichu half-kneeled on the ground weakly, with waves of smoke emitting from its body. Its health points dropped significantly; this scene surprised everyone.

"Is Pikachu's power so strong?!" Lt. Surge couldn't believe what he saw. Just one Thunderbolt, even with the type reduction, caused Raichu so much damage?!

Ash couldn't help being slightly taken aback, but quickly realized that the current Pikachu was not an ordinary Pikachu. It was an existence that was already qualified to aspire to the top, and it had the inheritance of the legendary flying dragon that controlled Osiris within its body!

"So... I don't need to be so careful!" Ash's eyes shone brightly; he had still underestimated his Pikachu. The power of Pikachu didn't just rely on summoning thunderbolts!
