Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile-Chapter 703 - 376: Round Two, Charizard vs Blissey!
Ultimately, under Lucario’s final full-force punch, Kangaskhan could no longer hold on, its massive body flew out with a rumble, crashing into the barrier, and the kids nearby couldn’t help but cover their eyes, afraid to witness the violent scene.
Lucario maintained the punching posture, gasping for breath, and the next second, a light shone on its body, it retreated from its MEGA Evolution form and reverted to its original appearance.
Although Lucario hadn’t lost its ability to fight, it was as good as defeated, having exhausted all its strength. If Kangaskhan hadn’t collapsed by now, Lucario would have no choice but to accept defeat.
In the silent scene, Kangaskhan remained on the ground, the result was evident.
"Kangaskhan is unable to battle, Lucario wins!!" Priscilla waved her arm, announcing Lucario’s victory.
Victor stared ahead as if petrified, clearly having difficulty accepting the outcome, but he quickly snapped back, realizing it’s just one Pokemon’s defeat; his father hadn’t lost yet!
Although Ash won, Lucario’s condition was very poor, even withdrew from MEGA Evolution, though still conscious, it had no fighting strength left, making this battle a draw for both sides!
Through Victor’s self-consolation, he reluctantly accepted his father’s defeat in the first round, knowing Kangaskhan’s strength, considered average in his father’s hands. In future battles, his father will surely triumph over Ash!
May, on the other hand, wasn’t as optimistic. Knowing Ash from past interactions, she understood Ash hadn’t yet shown his true strength.
Kangaskhan wasn’t one of his father’s strongest Pokemon, and Lucario wasn’t even close. Ash had at least three Pokemon stronger than Lucario, who was just below average in Ash’s team, making upcoming battles not necessarily easier.
"Well done, Lucario, thank you for your hard work, come back and rest!" Ash retrieved Lucario who was nearly fainting into the Pokeball. He had just checked Lucario’s level, now it had broken through to Elite Level.
The battle was a great success, not only defeating the opponent but also enabling Lucario’s breakthrough.
Indeed, it’s only in real battles that one can truly break through oneself; training with one’s own Pokemon lacks something, requiring external pressure.
Including Lucario, Ash now has six Elite Level Pokemons in hand!
Pikachu, Charizard, Gardevoir, Venusaur, Blastoise, and Lucario!
If assigning Trainer levels based on Pokemon levels, then Ash is now an authentic Elite Level Trainer!
"Good job Kangaskhan, have a good rest." Norman comforted the Kangaskhan in his hand, then brought out his second Pokemon.
"Meeting you in person is more impressive than the legend; the Superstar from Kanto excels at battling above their level. Seeing for myself, these tales are well-founded, defeating my Elite Advanced Kangaskhan with merely a Gym Peak Level Pokemon. If I hadn’t experienced it, I’d find it hard to believe it’s true." Norman’s voice carried a hint of admiration.
Even firsthand witnessing it was deeply shocking for Norman, still finding it hard to believe that his Elite Advanced Kangaskhan was genuinely defeated by a Gym Peak Lucario.
Attribute restraint, MEGA Evolution, they seem insignificant in the face of absolute power—this was Norman’s initial thought before the battle.
However, the boost from MEGA Evolution was more formidable than expected, making the gap between Lucario and Kangaskhan surmountable after evolving.
Coupled with Lucario’s initially strong Ability Value, leading to equal footing between the two in battle.
If Lucario’s physical strength were more abundant, allowing Extreme Speed to become a regular skill, Kangaskhan would’ve lost even more severely.
The saying goes, "In martial arts, speed is invincible," even if speed doesn’t mean everything, once enhanced, minor flaws become obscured.
Lucario exemplifies this, his speed advantage effectively masked deficiencies in attack power, defensive power, and physical strength.
Utilizing the advantage from Extreme Speed, Lucario achieved parity with Kangaskhan and ultimately emerged victorious.
Ash and his Pokemon’s ability to battle above their level is truly terrifying, and it’s hard to imagine if all of Ash’s Pokemon reach Champion Peak, he might become invincible among Champions.
The thought alone is overwhelming, even Leon likely wouldn’t exert such pressure, but that’s for when Ash reaches full Champion status; now, he still needs more practice.
"My second Pokemon is this fellow, go, Blissey." A flash of light, and a round, egg-shaped Pokemon appeared.
This Pokemon’s upper body is pink and the lower half is white, with some curling hair on its head. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Its shoulders have white wings, a white pattern encircles the body, with a bag holding an Egg on its belly.
This is Blissey, the final evolution of Chansey, often seen assisting Miss Joy at the Pokemon Center.
Blissey has immensely terrifying physical strength, but its defensive power is particularly weak. If using a physical attacker, it’s a prime weakness to exploit.
Ash knows Blissey is a reasonably strong Pokemon, yet encountering it in battle for the first time, he lacks any Pokemon specially prepared to counter Blissey, even among the group’s big shots lacking experience in battling Blissey, indicating how rarely Blissey appears in normal battles.
"Elite Peak... I can’t afford to be lax either! Let’s go, Charizard!" Ash threw out a Pokeball, and the fierce and imposing Charizard appeared.
Ash’s second Pokemon on the field is the top player in his team, one of the team’s trio giants, Charizard!
Charizard has reached mid-Elite Level, and with MEGA Evolution can upgrade to Elite Advanced Level, plus the evolved X Charizard is a physical attacker, ideally countering Blissey’s weaknesses!
"Charizard, huh? Could this be your ace Pokemon, Ash? You’ve brought it out so quickly?"
"No choice, since Norman has brought out Blissey, I must respond in kind." Ash’s words made Norman squint, sensing Ash might know about Blissey?
From online information? That’s unlikely; Norman’s Blissey seldom appears, those aware of Blissey’s presence and level are few, and unlikely to leak online.
Could Ash have discerned Blissey’s level purely by observation? If so, that’s truly terrifying!
"I won’t hold back, Mr. Norman, let’s surge to the peak, Charizard!!" Ash raised his arm high, the Key Stone on his wrist shining brightly again!
This is the power unique to Ash, using MEGA Evolution twice in the same battle!
As the Key Stone’s light enveloped Charizard, Charizard’s form began to change, and soon, the ink-black Charizard appeared in the arena—MEGA Charizard X!
The evolved Charizard’s cool form instantly incited children’s screams; this black sleek appearance is enchanting, especially to boys, a lethal attraction!
Originally supporting Norman, now even some children began considering switching sides to Ash, for—cool is justice!
