Chapter 197 What exactly are the unreasonable factors?
Snorlax, charging ahead at an astonishing speed, has already begun battling Team Galactic's Pokémon.
Unlike the Team Galactic members we encountered on the hillside before, these Team Galactic members here seem to be stronger. At least they didn't hesitate to release all their Pokémon as soon as they realized there was an enemy.
A rough estimate suggests there are probably close to a hundred of them...
Seeing this, Sceptile and Ursaring sped up to provide support, leaving only Pikachu running alongside Ash.
After all, Ash's speed is only faster than that of an average person; compared to those Pokémon, it is slightly inferior.
"Phew... But it seems there shouldn't be any problems. The opponent's Pokémon don't look to be very high level."
Ash ran while observing the situation ahead. When he saw Snorlax plop down on a Skunk, he realized that his opponent wasn't as troublesome as he had imagined. Once Ursaring and Sceptile joined the battle, the current situation should become one-sided.
"Pikachu, you go provide support first—"
"Pickup!"
Just as Ash was about to let Pikachu go first, Pikachu, who was running beside him, suddenly cried out in surprise, then jumped up and struck the figure falling from the sky with Iron Tail.
"boom!"
The dark purple light, as if poisoned, collided head-on with the metallic iron tail, producing a crisp sound.
The two then jumped away from each other during their exchange.
"You are... from those two times..."
"Hehe, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you anywhere."
Xiao Zhi frowned as he looked at the familiar figure ahead.
In contrast to Ash's cautious attitude, Sensei, one of Team Galactic's top executives, seemed less surprised and merely chuckled twice.
At the same time, the Toxicroak that Zhenxing had sent out in the Ruins of Random also let out the same cold laugh, standing next to Zhenxing and confronting Ash's Pikachu.
"Are all those Pokémon yours? They're very well trained."
Zhenxing turned around and stared for a long time at the Pokémon behind him that were battling the other members of Team Galactic, before uttering this strange sound of admiration.
However, Ash didn't have the leisure to chat with Zhenxing right now. Although he was confident that Sceptile and the others would achieve final victory, the sooner the battle ended, the better, since the fire caused by the helicopter crash in the rear had begun to spread.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
"Poison Skull Frog, Sludge Bomb!"
Without any warning, the instant Ash gave the attack command, Zhenxing reacted and made Toxicroak retaliate as well.
The collision of purple and gold produced waves of mud that made one's brow furrow, which then scattered in all directions, emanating a sinister aura.
The explosive sludge bomb was no match for the sustained 100,000 volts. In less than ten seconds, the 100,000 volts had already overwhelmed the Poison Skull Frog's sludge bomb, and the undiminished power of the lightning continued to advance towards the Poison Skull Frog's location.
"Charge!"
Zhenxing's cold tone made Xiaozhi freeze for a moment.
The Poison Skull Frog did not question Zhenxing's orders in the slightest, as if it would obey Zhenxing's command even if it were to die the next moment.
The Poison Skull Frog charged forward swiftly, and just before it was about to dodge, 100,000 volts covered half of its body. The remaining electricity coiled around its body like a hunting python, draining its strength.
"Hold on, use Poison Strike."
Despite the Poison Skull Frog's increasingly pained expression, Zhenxing showed no pity whatsoever.
Like a machine that knows no pain, Toxapex's crimson spikes on the back of its hand glowed with a dazzling purple light. Then, Toxapex broke through the electric current and ran straight toward Pikachu.
"Electrical shock!"
Since Saturn and Toxicroak wouldn't back down, Ash certainly had no reason to back down either.
Compared to 100,000 volts, the electric light from a high-voltage shock is far more rampant and flamboyant, and the screams created by the friction between currents sound like the mournful cries of thousands of birds.
The electric light pierced through the purple glow emanating from the poisonous skeletal frog's hand and struck its abdomen.
Faced with the damage from a 100,000-volt high-voltage electric shock, Poison Skull Frog naturally could not continue to withstand it. After being thrown back a distance, Poison Skull Frog's body fell straight to the ground, with no possibility of getting up again.
That's it?
Ash had no idea what Zhenxing was thinking. Just when he thought Zhenxing was about to send out other Pokémon to battle him, Zhenxing simply recalled the fallen Toxtricity and shrugged, saying:
"You've won the game."
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Zhi asked, frowning.
"You'll find out later... Hey! Everyone, retreat!"
"Retreat! Hurry! Hurry!"
At Zhenxing's command, the Team Galactic members, whose rear had been turned into a mess by Sceptile and the others, frantically recalled their Pokémon that were lying scattered on the ground, seemingly having no desire to continue fighting.
"Don't even think about it! Pikachu, use—"
See you next time.
Before Ash and Pikachu could even make a move, the Team Galactic members threw smoke bombs onto the ground.
In an instant, the entire park was enveloped in thick smoke. Ash managed to lead a few Pokémon out of the smoke with great difficulty. Looking up at the sky, he saw the remaining undamaged helicopters rapidly leaving the area.
At this moment, the Starhawk, with its somewhat disheveled feathers, also flew down from the sky. During this time, it had defeated about a dozen opponents, and in the end, only two Crobats and three Zubats were left to escape.
"Huh?"
Staraptor let out a confused cry, seemingly asking Ash whether it should give chase.
After thinking for a few seconds, Xiao Zhi shook his head helplessly.
There's no point in continuing to chase them, since the Starhawk can't carry that many people, and reckless pursuit will only give them an opportunity.
Furthermore, the Galactic Team did not achieve their objective this time. They lost a helicopter and several members were arrested, but the meteorite was still intact in the center of the park, which was enough.
From any perspective, this should be considered a victory for him.
only--
"His behavior just now seemed a bit strange."
Ash recalled Zhenxing's performance in the early and middle stages of the battle and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He felt like he had missed some details, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. Perhaps it was because he had never figured out why the Galactic Team was making such a big fuss about plundering meteorites.
Or rather...
Where exactly does this unreasonable factor manifest itself?
