"Zeraora!"
Seeing the big golden cat walking upright appear from within the ruins, Margo immediately exclaimed, only to find that its body was wrapped with arcs of electricity, but it was covering its shoulders with one hand, and it looked like the previous injury had not yet healed.
But despite its injury, as it looked at Ash and Pikachu, it had a fierce expression, especially at Pikachu.
Is this because it was a cat and Pikachu was a mouse?
Although Pikachu was knocked back a little, he was not at all injured.
At this moment, however, Pikachu had no intention of fighting. It just kept shouting something that Ash understood as telling that they wanted to help it.
"Don't act rashly, you are seriously injured." Ash stopped in front of Zeraora. This big guy seemed to have little to no good impression of human beings and it showed fully on its level of wariness.
It looked very similar to the Tigers he remembered, the golden hair all over its body rose up, and the electric arcs all over its body were raging around. However, such intimidation was not enough to hold Ash and Pikachu back.
"Ash, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought you here!" Margo blamed herself. It was clear to her that Zeraora got injured to protect her, but now it was her again that is causing such a situation to happen.
On the contrary, Molly smiled and comforted her and said, "Margo, don't worry, Big Brother is the most powerful person in the world, he must have a way to help Zeraora!"
However, after Molly finished speaking, Zeraora with no hesitation launched an attack. Its figure suddenly disappeared, and as if it was an electric arc flashed, it came to Pikachu. Its feline paw flashed with bright electric sparks and hit Pikachu.
Zeraora, a powerful pure Electric-type Pokémon that can emit large amounts of electricity from the pads of its hands and feet, thereby creating a powerful magnetic field.
The power of the magnetic field created by Zeraora can even allow it to overcome gravity and float in the air and increase its speed. It is even said that its maximum moving speed is that of the lightning it represents.
"Ohh, so you have an advantage in terms of the body," Ash was still calm at this time, he was leisurely analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of both parties. His Pikachu and this Zeraora were probably about the same in terms of electric skills at most, but he still inclined to believe that his Pikachu has the advantages because of his training, but compared to Zearora, his Pikachu did have a physical disadvantage.
However, Pikachu didn't seem to care about this, truly his Pokémon. He was instantly covered in lightning and used his strongest signature move at the moment, Volt Tackle, to knock Zeraora back.
However, other than being forced back, Zeraora was not injured, but instead recovered from her injuries.
Its ability was Volt Absorb.. When attacked by any Electric-type moves, it won't be hurt by them, but instead will recover.
Zeraora stood up, its now recovered injuries fueling its deep, innate fighting spirit. The arc on its pair of cat claws shone with light.
This was its own signature move!
Plasma Fists!
Not only was the speed of this move extremely fast, but its power was just as amazing. With this, it even managed to knock Pikachu away before he could react.
Ash frowned and stopped his l Ralts who was about to rush out to help her friend, and golden light began to release from his body.
"Pika!"
Pikachu stood up, with only a few scratches, and golden lightning raged all over his body, leaving streaks of burnt energy on the green forest grass.
The long-not used Bond Evolution was once again on stage. His tail shining with golden thunder was like a long sharp sword.
Ash also took off his hat and put it on Pikachu's head.
The lightning flashed, and its two unique Bond Evolutions skills, Electric Terrain and Electromagnetic Levitation, were used one after another.
The ruins of the forest were shrouded in the golden color of pure electricity moving around. The Pokémon on the ground were not able to rest, and all grounded Electric-type moves will be stronger.
This was equal for both Pikachu and Zeraora, but now Pikachu can also use its unique Electromagnetic Levitation to fly in the air. It's said that Zeraora too can do something similar, but not proven yet.
"Pikachu is now getting even stronger than before!" Molly can naturally see the changes in Pikachu at the first glance.
In the Electric Terrain, the electric arcs all over Zeraora's body became more and more terrifying. Its figure just flashed and came to Pikachu again. The Plasma Fists roared again, but Pikachu easily avoided it this time.
"Thunderbolt!"
The golden and blue blast from the past hit Zeraora unceremoniously, but it did not cause any harm to it.
Zeraora had the Volt Absorb ability that made it immune to all Electric-type moves, and now it was gradually recovering from its old injuries under Pikachu's attacks.
"Roar!" Zeraora felt the power emerging from its body and violently tore Pikachu's Thunderbolt into pieces, only to find that Pikachu had returned to its original shape and was now back on its Trainers shoulders.
"Well that's that, you're fine now, don't worry." Ash gave Margo little head a good pat, "The festival is about to begin, let's go back quickly!"
As he said that, he took Molly's hand, turned around and said with a smile, "Zeraora, don't forget to eat those foods, they'll help you!"
Zeraora looked at Ash's leaving figure and the Pikachu on his shoulder waving goodbye to him. He reached out and picked up one of the tangerines on the ground and threw them into his mouth, then returned to the depths of the forest and would wait quietly there for when he's needed.
Neither he nor Ash would have thought that when they came here, the man who had been possessed by the Great God Usopp would say some nonsense to a beautiful young girl who came to participate in the Wind Festival and wanted to catch a Pokémon, "Yes Yeah uh huh, that's right there, there's information that there are super rare Pokémon on that mountain!"
He was making nonsense, and he knew it, but now he was unknowingly referring to the mountain where Ash and his little group were at this moment. "The Wind Festival and catching competition will be held later on the main street. All Pokémon Trainers can participate!"
Ash and his party followed Margo back to the city and arrived at the main venue, just in time to catch up with the catching competition that was about to begin.
For a Pokémon Trainer, what could be more exciting than catching Pokémon?
"Big Brother, I'm definitely going to participate in this competition!" Molly can technically be considered a Pokémon Trainer, as she had a partner in her Jigglypuff!
Ash thought for a second and said that there was no problem, and the organizer also agreed after he talked with them, "Just make sure that she pays attention to her safety when doing anything."
Kellie, the little girl whom they met before, also grabbed her uncle's hand and said, "Uncle, look, there seems to be a catching competition there, how about you go and participate! You'll definitely win if you join in!"
Looking at his little niece's eyes full of admiration and hope, the man finally couldn't refuse and agreed to join in, "Leave it to me, after all, I'm a very powerful Pokémon Trainer! I will definitely defeat all the powerful Pokémon and bring back the champion trophy to you!"
Hearing this, the little girl was very happy.
His big lie was about to bite his ass again, but he had a solution, or hoped he had one. He actually broke into the Pokémon Research Pavilion of Fula City and found the young, knowledgeable but very cowardly Professor Toren for assistance, and asked him to help him coach himself online to catch a Pokémon.
For a time, the main street of Fula City was crowded with people and bustling with nothing but excitement. Ash and Molly of course stood together, followed respectively by their Pikachu and Jigglypuff. They had already registered for the competition and were waiting for the start of the catching race.
"Oh, is that you two brother and sister?" The man with the hat recognized the two of them and came up to chat.
"Oh, hi Uncle Usopp!" Ash walked out without hesitation.
The man was stunned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Anyhow, my name is Callahan! And, I don't know why, but I have a feeling that says that you must be a very powerful Pokémon Trainer. You have to hold back then!"
"Actually, Callahan, wouldn't it be better for you to be more truthful? Such bragging and lies will eventually blow up with everyone knowing the truth." Ash can actually understand this man, but it's hard to imagine how that little girl will react when she finds out uncle was saying nothing but bullshit.
How much disappointment she'll feel, Ash couldn't help but wince when he thought about that.
