He knows Pokémon better than me.

Ash was facing off against Freymi, a female model with a buzz cut and blue hair. They were separated by a carriage, but when the train left the tunnel and came to the surface, their eyes lit up.

Fremy gave the first command:

"Electric Flying Squirrel, use Shadow Clone Technique!"

The electric flying squirrel spread its arms and took flight, its small body creating more than ten shadows in the air, surrounding Flame Ace.

Then, from his blind spot, he suddenly lunged at Flame Ace, not by leaping down to press down, but by aiming for the latter's face.

Rub your cheek!

Ash wasn't surprised by this. Trainers who are good at Electric-type battles usually start by paralyzing their opponents.

Only his own Pikachu was used for a quick attack to probe the enemy at the start.

"Mud bomb!"

Cinderace used the same trick again, switching to Ground type and kicking out a mud ball.

Plop!

Although the mud ball hit its target precisely and burst open, it did not slow down the electric flying squirrel's diving attack, and all the mud bounced off.

The electric squirrel was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of Flame Ace, cheek to cheek.

However, the scene of the electric current spreading and proliferating as imagined did not occur. Like mud, the electric current bounced off Flame Ace.

Bang bang!

Flame Ace turned around and kicked Electric Flying Squirrel away. The latter quickly spread its arms, raised its wing membranes to absorb the force, and created distance.

"Ground attributes?"

Freymi was obviously seeing the Freeman trait for the first time, and naturally assumed it was a Ground-type rabbit.

"In that case, use the electric ball!"

The electric squirrel condensed a ball of electric energy in front of it, and instead of throwing it at Flame Ace, it threw it into the sky, catching it steadily with its body as the current fell.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!
This caused the electric flying squirrel to instantly become as if it had been charged, with sparks flying all over its body, making its flight movements even more agile.

"Hehe, this move was taught to me by Miss Xiaoju'er~"

Fremy chuckled and then gave the order:
"Since it's a ground-type, use an energy ball!"

The electric flying squirrel moved nimbly, circling the Flame Ace at high speed, then condensed a green light bullet on its side and launched it out almost without delay.

"Just use a fireball!"

Cinderace was just sitting there bouncing a pebble around, but upon hearing Ash's command, it instantly turned around and kicked the pebble away.

Tsk-!
The pebble burst into flames halfway through, piercing the energy ball right through the middle. Even with its +1 speed, the electric squirrel couldn't react in time and was hit head-on by the fireball.

A burst of flames erupted in mid-air!
At the same time, another battle was taking place inside the train carriage.

"Thunder Zebra, use Charged Flame Strike!!"

To Douzi's surprise, his opponent did not use electric-attribute moves, but rather fire-attribute moves that Yanwu Wang was good at.

However, she quickly realized that her opponent's goal was not to attack Yanwu King, but to accelerate.

The lightning zebra, its entire body engulfed in flames, raced at high speed through the cramped carriage.

Tap! Tap! Tap!
It was clearly not the first time it had fought in this environment; it had long since memorized the positions of the railings and handles. Its hooves not only trod on the ground but also leaped onto the walls on both sides, making a crisp sound as it trod. Its movements were light and unique.

The speed also increased continuously during this process.

"."

Douzi's Flame King stood rooted to the spot, holding his breath and intently watching Thunder Zebra's movements. "Now! Crazy Volt!"

The female model named Anpei suddenly attacked.

In an instant, the flames surrounding the Thunder Zebra transformed into a raging cloak of lightning. It suddenly lunged at the Flame King from a tricky angle, raising its front hooves and stomping on its target with sparks of electricity!
Douzi, however, curled the corners of his mouth and responded with great confidence:
"Use bodybuilding to block it!"

King Yanwu also curled his lips into a mad smile, then suddenly raised his arms high, unleashing a deep, thunderous roar:
"Fire Roar—!!"

Its muscles bulged wildly as if inflated, and instead of dodging or avoiding the hoof strike that was accompanied by violent lightning, it straightened its broad shoulders and met the attack head-on!

Boom!
The force of the Mad Volt landed on it, causing Yanwu Wang's shoulder to sag, and the floor of the carriage to tremble.

But it was just a tremor.

Yanwu King, like an unshakeable heavy fortress, steadily withstood the attack!
"How is this possible?!"

The female model, Amber, had her pupils contract, her expression one of utter astonishment, completely unable to break free of her defenses!
Yanwu King's ferocious grin grew even more unrestrained, and his other arm was already covered in a deep white light as he roared and swept it across fiercely.

boom! ! !
The muscular elbow slammed hard into the Thunder Zebra's neck!
The overwhelming force sent the zebra flying like a cannonball, crashing into the iron door at the end of the carriage before finally landing.

Bodybuilding Arm Fist!

With a single blow, the lightning zebra's head lolled to the side, and it collapsed unconscious.

"Wow, that's some force!"

Ash secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. After being enhanced by Bulk Up, the power of his Emboar was almost on par with that of his Melmetal!

"Hehe, don't underestimate the fighting skills of urban female white-collar workers!"

Douzi stood with her hands on her hips, smiling smugly.

Besides her demanding work, her only way to relax every day is by training and battling with her Pokémon.

"Piccoo~!"

Victini flew from Ash's shoulder to his head, its eyes fixed intently on Emboar and Frostbite.

It's been wandering around the Unova region for over a year now, how come it hasn't discovered another pair with such an equally strong "will to win"?!

Above the carriage, Flame Ace's progress was a bit slower, but it was almost there.

Suddenly, it leaped up and darted onto the top of the electric flying squirrel's head, raising its right foot high while slamming it down with a powerful strike.

Flame Kick!
boom!
The electric flying squirrel suddenly plummeted, crashing heavily into the aisle of the carriage, losing its ability to fight.

Xiao Zhi glanced at the time; it took 4 minutes and 29 seconds. Uh, another 10 minutes of wasted time.

"We just chose the 'Super Train' level, it's not enough to fight this."

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but complain.

Initially, registration was divided into two levels: "Regular Train" and "Super Train."

Most battle facilities offer this difficulty level option.

Douzi rolled his eyes at him and spread his hands:
"Is it possible that the difficulty level isn't too low, but rather that we're too strong?"

Given their combined strength, the only real challenge they'll face is the final two battles against the subway manager.

Does he really expect to face a king or champion in the subway battle?!

"That's true."

Ash scratched his head. Even a League Elite Four member wouldn't have time to be waiting at the subway station whenever he needed them. (End of Chapter)
