Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile-Chapter 708 - 379: Anomalous Slaking and Anomalous Pikachu, the Final Ultimate Clash!
Slaking’s species ability value itself surpasses those of the Quasi-Gods, and without special enhancements, even the Three Divine Birds are no match for Slaking’s comprehensive ability.
Among Slaking’s ability values, its Attack Power is the strongest!
At the same level, the number of Pokemon that can go head-to-head with Slaking can be counted on one hand, and yet Ash chose to have Pikachu go head-to-head with Slaking!
How the hell did he dare to do that! Even if Ash used special abilities to enhance Pikachu, Pikachu’s physical quality is fixed there, wanting to go head-to-head with Slaking unless Pikachu reaches Champion Peak level is about right!
This comes from the inherent gap in species ability. The reason Pokemon like Pikachu are considered ornamental is not only that their potential is low and hard to raise to high levels but also because their species ability is quite weak.
Even when their levels are higher than others, in terms of ability value they may not necessarily be stronger than other Pokemon.
That’s why no one really trains a Pokemon like Pikachu!
Norman admits that Ash’s Pikachu is certainly different, but at most, it’s just a bit stronger than a regular Pikachu. To compare it with Slaking in a direct confrontation is a pipe dream.
Just when everyone thought the clash between Pikachu and Slaking would end with Slaking’s overwhelming victory, an unexpected event occurred.
Pikachu leaped towards Slaking’s large descending foot, with its hardened Iron Tail carrying a piercing sound through the air, smashing down onto Slaking’s foot!
"Boom——!!!"
A deafening explosion erupted in the center of the battlefield, a visible shockwave spread outwards, causing ripples on the surrounding barriers. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
The scene of Pikachu being effortlessly defeated by Slaking did not happen; instead, they were locked in a stalemate in mid-air!
Slaking’s powerful Mega Kick was intercepted mid-air by Pikachu’s Iron Tail, and even its downward momentum was instantly halted.
The laziness in Slaking’s eyes turned to seriousness; he didn’t expect that the mouse-like opponent could withstand his attack directly. Their strength should not be on the same level. Moreover, Pikachu’s emitted aura indicates its level is far below his!
He was attacking from above, Pikachu was attacking from below, and from the angle of attack, he had a complete advantage on all sides. The result should not have been like this. Slaking has never been evenly matched with a Pokemon of lower level than himself in a power confrontation.
No, it’s not evenly matched. Slaking can feel the iron-like force on the tail constantly increasing on his foot!
Pikachu did not give Slaking any chance to respond, the power surged on its tail, the silver gleam becoming more dazzling, pushing Slaking’s colossal several-meter-high body upward, followed by a fierce swing!
Boom!
Another loud noise, Slaking’s massive body was struck like a runaway boulder, instantly losing all control, like a leaf caught in a storm, shooting straight backward!
It drew a long arc in the air, moving so fast that only a blur of brown shadow remained, crashing heavily into the barrier at the edge of the field, once again causing a deafening sound.
Slaking’s body bounced against the barrier once, then fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, limbs sprawled, losing all previous strength and momentum.
On the battlefield, only Pikachu landed steadily on the ground, its cap intact, Iron Tail slowly returning to its original state, its small body standing upright, not even showing signs of heavy breathing, creating a stark contrast to Slaking’s mess.
A deadly silence fell over the crowd.
Victor’s mouth was wide open, eyes bulging, disbelief sweeping over him again, even more shocking than the time Blissey was defeated in one hit. He muttered to himself, "How is it possible... How could Dad’s Slaking lose in strength to Pikachu!!"
Slaking is his father’s trump card! Its sheer strength made Victor feel that not even the Hoenn Champion could be a match for Slaking!
If not for Slaking’s laziness, his father might have become the top Trainer in Hoenn long ago!
Yet this powerful Slaking lost in a direct confrontation with Pikachu, and Pikachu used Iron Tail! This is not even Pikachu’s type skill, while Slaking’s Mega Kick is a type skill for Slaking.
In terms of level, Slaking should also have the advantage, let alone the power of skills, Mega Kick is stronger than Iron Tail, not to mention Slaking’s overwhelming physical quality compared to Pikachu!
No matter from which angle you look at it, Slaking should not and could not lose! How could this happen!
Even May, known for her calm composure, was stunned, rosy lips slightly parted, her beautiful eyes filled with incredulity and confusion. She was more aware of her father’s strength than Victor.
Victor blindly admired his father, while May clearly knew her father’s strength, especially Slaking, which could go toe-to-toe with champions’ trump cards without falling behind.
