The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Discharge is an area-of-effect (AoE) attack that will also attack the user's teammates, showing no mercy. Its range is even wider than an electric grid, and Ash never intended for Incineroar to dodge it.

On one hand, the Blazing Roaring Tiger's speed made it impossible to dodge, and on the other hand, the Blazing Roaring Tiger, which was almost at full health, faced no pressure in taking this attack, so it was a good opportunity to switch opponents.

Incineroar withstood the electric attack, then began spitting out profanities, causing Tapu Koko's Attack and Special Attack to each drop by one stage.

Then it transformed into a red light and returned to the Poké Ball hanging on Ash's waist. Ash then waved his hand, pointed at the battlefield, and shouted.

"Fiery Roaring Tiger, you did a very good job."

"Pikachu, I choose you! Prepare for battle!"

"Pickup!"

Ash Ketchum's sixth Pokémon is Pikachu!

After Incineroar was removed from the battle, Ash switched to Pikachu to continue the fight.

This is a battle between Electric-type Pokémon: Pikachu versus Tapu Koko.

"This exhibition match was absolutely fantastic! The winner will be the ultimate victor. Who will emerge victorious? Let's wait and see!" Shi Kuang exclaimed excitedly.

"Tapu Koko, that's so strong," Lana said with some concern.

"Ash and Pikachu will definitely win," Mallow said.

“That’s right, let’s keep cheering them on,” Lillie said.

“That’s right.” x2

Kachi and Mamane said in unison.

Although Pikachu may not look like much, it can be quite powerful when it's carrying an Electric Ball.

The Electric Ball doubles Pikachu's Attack and Special Attack stats, not its base stats. This is important to understand.

Pikachu's Attack stat is 55, and its Special Attack stat is 50.

If you go for physical attack, then with maximum physical attack (252 Attack EVs), a 1.1x Attack modifier, and an Attack IV of 31, you can reach 117.

If you go for a Special Attack build, then you'd need to maximize Special Attack, which means maxing out your Special Attack EVs to 252, using a nature that also boosts Special Attack, and having an IV of 31 in Special Attack, reaching a total of 112.

Equipped with its exclusive item, the Electric Ball, the numbers double to 234 and 224.

Groudon's maximum Attack stat is 222.

The attack stat of Kyogre in Ultimate Ninja Gaiden is 222.

Therefore, in terms of pure damage output, Pikachu equipped with an Electric Ball surpasses Kyogre in terms of damage output.

The reason I'm talking about just the stats is that Kyogre has the Rain ability, which gives it a 1.5x power boost to Water-type moves every time it enters the field. Does Pikachu have that?

Kyogre has Water Spray and Root Pulse, with power levels of 150 and 110 respectively. These are area-of-effect attacks that can hit two opponents without any side effects. Does your Pikachu have those?

Moreover, Pikachu only catches up with Kyogre and Groudon in terms of attack power, but what about its durability and speed?

With Pikachu's pathetic base stat total of 320, its bulk is incredibly low, and its speed isn't fast enough. Any priority move like Extreme Speed ​​can easily take it down, leaving it no chance to even attack.

Besides, even disregarding Kyogre's advantages in abilities and moves, it can still hold items like Life Orb, Specs, and Mystic Water to boost damage, while Pikachu already has Electric Ball.

While Primal Groudon or Primal Kyogre do lock items, their base stats are increased by a full 100 points compared to their Primal form, and they have an SSS ability. Pikachu shouldn't even try to compete with those two heavyweights.

However, on the other hand, Ash's Pikachu is no ordinary Pikachu; it's Pikachu the god of creation.

Back to the present.

"Assault, Tapu Koko, unleash Flash Magic."

"Pikachu, use one hundred thousand volts."

Tapu Koko gathered Fairy-type energy around its body, which shimmered with colorful light as it charged towards Pikachu.

Ash then made the most of Pikachu, first letting it benefit from Tapu Koko's Electric Field, and then starting with its signature move Thunderbolt.

To everyone's surprise, Tapu Koko's charge was blocked by Pikachu's Thunderbolt.

The Thunderbolt attack instantly dispelled the Fairy-type energy on Tapu Koko upon contact, but then struck Tapu Koko directly, proving ineffective.

However, thanks to the power boost from Electric Terrain, it still inflicted considerable damage on Tapu Koko.

"Pikachu, use Extreme Speed ​​repeatedly."

"Tapu Koko, block the attack."

With its incredible speed boost, Pikachu moves so fast that it's invisible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Dr. Kukui realized that this attack was basically unavoidable, so he immediately had Tapu Koko defend.

Tapu Koko immediately closed the shells on its hands, shrinking its entire body inside, almost like using Protect, in an attempt to block Pikachu's attack.

But to Professor Kukui's surprise, Pikachu's Extreme Speed ​​was not only fast, but also extremely powerful.

Although Tapu Koko had retreated into its shell, it only managed to block the first one or two attacks.

Pikachu rammed into Tapu Koko several times in succession, knocking him and his shell off the plane and crashing heavily to the ground.

man!

"what!"

Dr. Kukui was very surprised, not expecting Pikachu's attack power to be so strong.

"Hit Tapu Koko! Pikachu's Extreme Speed ​​worked!" Shi Kuang exclaimed excitedly.

"Tapu Tutu, unleash the magic of sparkle."

"Pikachu, get out of the way!"

Tapu Koko scrambled to its feet and launched a swift counterattack. Gathering its Fairy-type energy, it unleashed another Dazzling Magic, its powerful strike carving a deep trench into the battlefield.

But Pikachu reacted quickly, dodging Tapu Koko's attack with incredible speed even while airborne.

"Pikachu, use Iron Tail."

"Tapu Koko, get out of the way!"

Pikachu leaped into the air, its tail gleaming silver-white with the gathering of Steel-type energy, and descended from the sky, slashing fiercely at Tapu Koko.

Unfortunately, Tapu Koko dodged it, and Iron Tail struck the ground, embedding itself in the earth.

"Tap Koko, unleash Nature's Wrath."

Dr. Kukui immediately seized the opportunity and had Tapu Koko launch an attack.

Unfortunately, the skill "Nature's Wrath" always reduces the opponent's current HP by half. In other words, this skill will never kill anyone unless the opponent has only 1 HP left.

Tapu Koko slammed one hand on the ground, creating a pink shockwave that simultaneously produced several blue halos on the surface. The impact was incredibly powerful.
