Pokémon Heart Journey

Just when everyone thought Pikachu was about to lose.

It trembled, struggling to hold itself up with its limbs! It raised its head, its eyes, though filled with pain, still burning with an unyielding flame! Its hidden ability—the "lightning rod"—absorbed some of the electrical energy at the last moment, barely preserving a trace of its strength, but it was already at the end of its strength!

"Still standing?" Xiao Mao was slightly surprised, but then sneered, "It's a last-ditch effort! Shock the monster and give it one last lightning punch!"

The Electric Beast strode forward, and the Thunder Fist condensed again, smashing towards the staggering Pikachu!

"Now!" Xiaozhi seemed to have seen the last hope and shouted with all his faith: "Pikachu, use all our strength... to throw!"

Isn't this just a regular skill? But Pikachu instantly understood what Xiaozhi meant!

Facing the incoming lightning punch, Pikachu didn't dodge. Instead, he lunged forward, narrowly avoiding the blow by just touching the ground. Then, he instantly bounced up, using his last bit of strength to cling to the sturdy arm of the electric monster, and used the force to suddenly leap upward like a swing! At the same time, his iron tail tightly wrapped around the electric monster's horn!

"What?!" Xiao Mao was stunned.

Pikachu, using his inertia, utilized his weight and all his strength to deliver a fierce shoulder throw! Although it couldn't shake the massive body of Electramon, the sudden and well-aimed interference and blow caused Electramon to lose its balance and stumble forward!

"Use Iron Tail!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu, who had been gathering strength long ago, suddenly smashed down his metallic iron tail!

bump! ! !

"Roar!!!"

The electric shock beast let out an unprecedented howl of pain. Its huge body slammed heavily to the ground, splashing a large amount of dust. It struggled twice but was unable to get up immediately.

The referee quickly stepped forward, took a closer look, and raised the flag: "The electric shock monster loses its ability to fight!"

Reversal! Incredible reversal!

The entire audience was stunned, and then erupted in thunderous cheers!

Ash also breathed a sigh of relief and rushed forward to hug Pikachu, who had fallen off the Electramon and was equally exhausted: "Great! Pikachu! You did it!"

However, Xiaozhi's joy lasted less than two seconds.

Xiao Mao, who was standing opposite him, did not show any regret or surprise on his face, but instead showed a hint of sneer.

He had retrieved the electric beast almost at the same time it fell, and threw out another Poké Ball at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye!

"Well done, but that's all! One more time, Mantis!"

A flash of red light appeared, and the familiar crimson figure reappeared! It was none other than the Mantis that had earlier engaged in a fierce battle with Infernape and had been quickly replaced!

Although its carapace still bore dents and burnt marks from its battle with Infernape, it still maintained its powerful fighting strength after a brief rest! Meanwhile, Pikachu was completely exhausted, barely even standing!

"Giant pincer mantis, bullet punch."

The cold command was issued.

The giant mantis turned into red lightning, and a silver-white fist shadow flashed by.

There was no time to react. The exhausted Pikachu was hit directly, and his small body was sent flying, losing consciousness in the air.

The referee's flag waved again: "Pikachu is incapacitated!"

The situation reversed again in an instant! Xiaomao used the sacrifice of Zapmon and a nearly seamless switch to successfully redeem Xiaozhi's fifth Pokémon. Now he only has one left!

The cheers in the venue suddenly stopped, replaced by uproar and exclamation.

Xiaozhi hugged the unconscious Pikachu and looked at it with heartache, then slowly raised his head and looked at the stern-looking Xiaomao and the ready-looking Mantis across from him.

"It's decided to be you, Iron Baggage!"

A flash of light passed, and the mechanical penguin reappeared. The display on its head rapidly flashed a series of complex codes and ice crystal patterns, as if analyzing and locking onto a target. After the previous round of rest, its condition had recovered considerably.

Seeing this, Xiao Mao paused for a moment, then changed his mind and took back the Poké Ball he was about to send out: "Continue fighting, Mantis!"

"Whoosh!"

"Iron bag, freeze-dry!" Xiaozhi took the initiative.

The iron-wrapped curling stone quickly condensed into a pale and cold energy ray, with a temperature low enough to freeze the blood, and shot accurately at the giant mantis!

"Bullet Punch breaks it!"

The figure of the giant mantis suddenly became blurred, and the silver-white fist shadow came from behind but arrived first, so fast that only a residual light was left!

However, the iron bag seemed to have anticipated this. While releasing the freeze-drying force, it suddenly spurted out cold air from its mouth and used the reaction force to slide backwards!

Bang! The bullet fist narrowly missed the iron bundle's body, shattering a trail of ice debris it left behind. Meanwhile, the freeze-drying light struck the ground where the giant mantis had been, instantly freezing a large area of ​​frost!

"What a quick reaction!" the commentator exclaimed. "Iron Bundle used the recoil to dodge!"

"Didn't hit? Then keep going! Sword dance!" Xiao Mao immediately changed the order, intending to strengthen it.

The giant mantis crossed its pincers, and a red strengthening light appeared all over its body, and its attack power suddenly increased!

"I won't let you succeed! Saltwater!" Xiaozhi ordered.

The iron bag unleashed a jet of high-pressure water, precisely targeting the dancing giant mantis! While the jet of water failed to inflict significant damage on the armor, it successfully interrupted its strengthening process. The icy water seeped into the cracks in the carapace and past scars, causing stinging pain and a slight sluggishness in its movements.

"Shadow clone, then cross scissors!" Xiao Mao tried to disrupt the counterattack.

The figure of the giant mantis became blurred for a moment, and instantly it split into several clones that were difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, rushing towards the iron bundle from different directions at the same time!

"Lock it! Then use blizzard!" Xiaozhi responded calmly.

The display on Tie Baofu's head flashed red rapidly, instantly capturing the giant mantis' true form! Ignoring other illusions, it frantically gathered the extremely cold icy energy at the curling mouth. A small, yet extremely dense, icy blizzard instantly swept out, covering the giant mantis's sprinting path!

The wind was biting, the icy pebbles sharp as knives! The giant mantis's speed was greatly hampered by the blizzard. Frost quickly formed on its body, and its movements became stiff and slow! The light of the cross shears flickered in the wind and snow.

"Now is the time, freeze-dry!" Xiaozhi seized the opportunity and issued the decisive command!

The iron bundle poured all its energy into it, and a pale ray that was more condensed and colder than before, like the gaze of the god of death, penetrated the blizzard and shot directly at the giant mantis that was blocked in its movement!

"Mantis, hold on!" Xiao Mao shouted.

The giant mantis struggled to raise its frost-covered pincers, attempting to pry open the light shield, but the low temperature severely affected its energy flow and speed! Just as the pale green light shield began to take shape, the deadly freeze-drying ray crashed down!

Swish! The extremely cold energy instantly shattered the unformed defense and poured fiercely into the giant mantis's chest!

"Clang!!!" The giant mantis let out a sharp and piercing scream like the collision of metal. The huge impact force threw its entire body away. The steel armor on its chest was visibly covered with a thick layer of ice, and it was concave and shattered inward!

It fell heavily to the ground, ice chips flying everywhere. It struggled to stand up, but the severe frostbite and physical trauma made it collapse helplessly.

However, just as the giant mantis was knocked away, Xiao Mao's order came to an end: "Iron Hoof Beam!"

The giant mantis flew backwards, relying on its last bit of fighting instinct, gathered amazing steel energy in its pincers, and then suddenly shot out a silver-white beam of light.

boom! ! !

The iron burden, momentarily frozen by the full force of his attack, was tumbled backward several times by this final blow. The monitor on his head flickered with random characters, tiny sparks erupted from his mechanical joints, and he finally collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

The referee quickly stepped forward, carefully checked the status of the two Pokémon, and finally waved the flag: "Giant Mantis and Iron Bag, both lose their combat capabilities!"
