"Seed!" Bulbasaur cried out, activating its Grass-type energy. A small brown seed shot from the bulb on its back and hit Electrode directly.

"Dodge the attack!" Ma Zhora shouted with a smirk, not worried about the attack.

Despite Electrode's bulky appearance, it was surprisingly fast. With a slight roll, it easily avoided the incoming seed.

"What else do you have? Show me!" Zhora taunted, his smile turning into a menacing grin. "Then prepare to lose!"

Ash remained calm. He knew that Electrode was stronger than Bulbasaur, and that missing the Leech Seed was expected. This was just a test.

"Bulbasaur, use Razor Leaf!" Ash commanded, raising his hand.

"24 seeds!" Bulbasaur's eyes flashed with determination. Grass-type energy surged once more as several leaves shot out from the bulb, turning into sharp blades as they sped toward Electrode.

"If this is all you've got, how do you expect to win?" Zhora sneered, unimpressed with Bulbasaur's power.

"Electrode, use Sonic Boom!" Zhora ordered, his voice dripping with arrogance.

Electrode let out a high-pitched cry, unleashing ripples of energy that scattered the Razor Leaf attack and transformed into a shockwave targeting Bulbasaur.

"Use Vine Whip to hit the ground and avoid the attack! Then use Sleep Powder!" Ash said, a knowing smile on his face. Zhora was seriously underestimating them.

Bulbasaur reacted immediately, using Vine Whip to strike the ground, not the shockwave. The force propelled Bulbasaur into the air, dodging the Sonic Boom. As it soared, Bulbasaur released Sleep Powder in a flurry of silver-blue particles that drifted toward Electrode.

"What?!" Zhora's eyes widened in surprise, clearly not expecting the move. But he quickly recovered, issuing a new command. "Electrode, use Sonic Boom again!"

"Naughty!" Electrode roared, and a second Sonic Boom reverberated outward, scattering the Sleep Powder in the air, and the shockwave barreled toward Bulbasaur mid-air.

"So you think you can stop me? You've underestimated Bulbasaur and me!" Ash smirked as he watched Bulbasaur's reaction.

Although Bulbasaur seemed vulnerable in mid-air, it wasn't as helpless as it seemed. Instead of panicking, Bulbasaur used its Vine Whip to strike the ground again, propelling itself upward to evade the impact of the Sonic Boom.

The shockwave passed through Bulbasaur, but it didn't make contact. The audience gasped in amazement, witnessing the impressive agility and strategy.

"Encore, use Sleep Powder again!" Ash commanded, seeing the chance to end the battle.

"Seed!" Bulbasaur immediately launched another round of Sleep Powder, blending it with the remaining particles from the previous attack. It drifted through the air toward Electrode.

Zhora's expression darkened as he realized what was happening. "Encore won't work! No matter how many times you use Sleep Powder, it won't hit Electrode! Use Sonic Boom!"

Electrode obeyed, sending another shockwave that knocked the Sleep Powder out of the air and charged toward Bulbasaur, who was still suspended in mid-air.

"Bulbasaur, dodge!" Ash called out. Bulbasaur was fast enough to evade the attack and was in perfect position to counter.

Instead of using Vine Whip to strike the ground, Bulbasaur extended its Vine Whip upward, pushing off the ceiling to accelerate its descent and avoid the shockwave.

Zhora's eyes narrowed. He understood Ash's tactics now, but was it too late? Bulbasaur had avoided two consecutive Sonic Booms and was ready for the next move.

Ash didn't issue an order for the third round of Sleep Powder, which threw Zhora off. "Did he miscalculate?" Zhora muttered, trying to predict Ash's next move.

"Vine Whip!" Ash commanded suddenly.

Bulbasaur didn't hesitate, sending the two Vine Whips crashing toward Electrode.

Zhora's eyes widened in disbelief. "Such a daring direct attack. I won't let you dodge this time! Electrode, Thunderbolt!" he shouted.

But to Zhora's shock, Electrode stood motionless, not responding at all. No evasive actions. No counterattacks. It simply remained silent.

"Bang!" The Vine Whips struck Electrode, sending it flying several meters. Electrode rolled out, and Zhora realized with horror that his Electrode had fallen into a deep sleep, and it wasn't even reacting to the battle anymore.

"How is that possible?!" Zhora exclaimed, staring at the scene in disbelief. He couldn't understand what had happened. How did Electrode fall asleep?

Ryo, watching from the sidelines, smirked. "It's the Sleep Powder, isn't it?"

Zhora's face paled. He had failed to notice the lingering Sleep Powder that had still been drifting in the air. It had affected Electrode just as Bulbasaur had planned.

"Bulbasaur, use Leech Seed!" Ash seized the opportunity and ordered Bulbasaur to finish the battle.

Bulbasaur launched another Leech Seed, hitting Electrode before it could react. The seed quickly split open, and vines began to grow, ensnaring Electrode and absorbing its energy.

The vines glowed with emerald light as they drained Electrode's strength, transferring it to Bulbasaur.

"Seed!" Bulbasaur chirped, feeling its own strength return as the energy flowed into it.

Zhora stood motionless, unable to believe what had just happened. His Electrode was completely incapacitated, and now his only hope was the possibility of Smelling Salts bringing it back. But the constant draining of energy from Leech Seed would make it difficult for Electrode to recover quickly.

Ryo crossed his arms. "It looks like Ash has this one in the bag. That was a perfect combination of tactics."
