Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 567 Charizard's Next Foreshadowing, Lugia's Trapped State

Dakdo's eyes were focused; he had spotted the opportunity. If he could seize it, this strike would be the final blow to end the match.

Although the storm had completely dissipated, Pikachu and Lugia were now very close as they fell.

Given the distance between Lugia and Pikachu, other moves are difficult to unleash their full power and may even be dodged. However, there is one move that can unleash its maximum power in the shortest amount of time and cannot be dodged by Pikachu.

He planned to use this move to deliver a fatal blow to Pikachu—

"Use Waterfall Climbing!"

Lugia let out a long howl, and its massive body, enveloped in rain, transformed into a towering column of water.

The water spun rapidly around it, forming an unstoppable offensive, and rushed towards the falling Pikachu with overwhelming force.

At such close range and with such a rapid attack, the waterfall climber had almost no way to escape.

Pikachu's small body could not possibly withstand the impact of the raging water current and the heavy impact of Lugia's main body at the same time.

Just as the surging water was about to engulf Pikachu, Ash's voice pierced through the rain once again, resounding throughout the area: "Pikachu, use Surf!"

Pikachu, about to be submerged by the water, suddenly opened its eyes, a clear blue light shining in its black pupils.

An incredible scene unfolded. Pikachu's tiny body was not defeated by the waterfall's torrents. Instead, it moved as steadily as a light leaf across the surging water, as if an invisible surfboard had sprung up beneath its feet. It managed to ride on top of Lugia's waterfall and narrowly escape the fatal blow.

Darko stared in disbelief, his expression frozen in shock. He never imagined that Ash's Pikachu would have a move like Surf.

The straw knot from before, the surfing now.

What skills does it still have that it hasn't used?

Dakdo felt increasingly panicked.

Pikachu, perched atop the wave, stared coldly at Lugia in the water below with its blue, gleaming eyes.

Blinding arcs of electricity flashed again from the electric sacs on either side of its cheeks, clearly indicating it wasn't going to let Lugia off so easily. Ash's voice followed closely, decisive and resolute: "Thunderbolt!"

Darko quickly snapped out of his shock and urgently commanded, "Lugia! Use Regeneration!"

Lugia, currently in mid-air, was unable to land immediately and use Roost, so she had to rely on Regeneration for defense.

The dazzling electric light and the self-regenerating light erupted almost simultaneously.

The golden 100,000 volts roared like an angry lightning serpent as it blasted into the water, striking Lugia, who was trying to recover his strength through self-regeneration.

Lugia's body trembled violently under the immense power of the 100,000 volts, and its self-regeneration effect was temporarily interrupted.

Lugia's massive body could no longer remain submerged in the water, and with a mournful cry, it plummeted straight down into the already shattered ground below.

However, after Lugia voluntarily gave up maintaining the waterfall, the light of self-regeneration on Lugia's body shone again, and Lugia's strength was rapidly recovering.

Lugia landed first, followed closely by Pikachu, which drew a swift arc in mid-air, its tail gleaming with a metallic sheen.

"Iron Tail!" Ash's command followed.

"boom!"

Lugia, which had just landed on the ground and was still in the process of regenerating, was struck by Pikachu's Iron Tail from above before it could move again.

"Ugh—" Lugia let out another mournful cry, and its body seemed to sink a little.

Upon seeing this, Dakdo couldn't help but frown.

Iron Tail?

Although the force of the fall amplified the damage somewhat, it was not fatal to Lugia.

He intended to launch a counterattack the moment Pikachu landed and Lugia was still in good condition after regenerating.

However, Dacto was shocked to discover that something was wrong.

"Click—"

A crisp cracking sound suddenly came from the ground beneath Lugia's feet. Before Darko and Lugia could react, the cracking sounds began to increase and become more frequent.

at last.

"boom--!"

Suddenly, a huge pit appeared beneath Lugia's feet. Unable to dodge in time, Lugia fell into the pit, with most of his body buried under rocks of various sizes. Only his neck and head were left outside, and he writhed in pain, trying to struggle out.

It would be impossible for Lugia's own weight combined with Pikachu's attack to create such a large opening.

“It was that explosion and fire…” Darko instantly connected this scene with the dying struggle of Charizard before it collapsed.

Unexpectedly, Charizard's explosion and fire not only provided Pikachu with an environment to hide from the hurricane, but also set a trap for Lugia at this moment.

The massive crater that collapsed with a deafening roar has now buried most of Lugia's body within it, with countless large and small rocks pressing down on Lugia's body, temporarily hindering its ability to continue flying.

If Lugia cannot flap its wings, then most of its abilities will be locked down.

Unexpectedly, it seemed that Pikachu was the one to be wary of in this battle, but in the end, it was Charizard, which had previously been defeated, that laid all the groundwork for the battle between Lugia and Pikachu.

Did that final strike, delivered just before the enemy's attack, conceal a deeper meaning...?

What a formidable opponent.

A sense of helplessness flashed through Darko's mind, but at this moment he could only command the trapped Lugia to launch a forced counterattack: "Water Cannon!"

Having just finished Iron Tail's attack, Pikachu, landing from mid-air, was unable to completely dodge this sudden attack. Since it couldn't dodge, it could only neutralize it.

"Pikachu! Use surfing like this!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu temporarily created waves on its feet and in front of its body.

Although the powerful water cannon still hit its body, most of the force was blocked by the water wall formed by the surf.

Even more surprisingly, Pikachu did not retreat due to the powerful impact of the water cannon. Instead, it used its exquisite control of the water flow through surfing to lift itself back into the air.

Only when Pikachu is in mid-air can its attacks land on Lugia without being blocked by rocks.
