Although Pikachu doesn't like staying in its Poké Ball, under the current circumstances, only by staying in its Poké Ball will it recover faster.
Gary looked at the Pidgeotto in the sky, "An 18-level Pidgeotto, now this is interesting!"
"Gary, no, don't attack that Pidgeotto." Seeing Gary make a move, Ash quickly tried to dissuade him.
But at this moment, Gary had already ordered Bulbasaur to attack, and Razor Leaf directly slashed towards the Pidgeotto.
Ash shook his head slightly. He could have resolved this crisis, but now it seemed a bit tricky.
Because this Pidgeotto didn't really have much malice; if they had retreated, they would have been safe and sound.
But now that Gary had directly attacked, he was probably going to anger this Pidgeotto and invite retaliation.
The Razor Leaf attack was directly blocked by Pidgeotto's Air Slash.
It was clear that there was still a gap between a level 15 Bulbasaur and a level 18 Pidgeotto.
What's more, Pidgeotto had now undergone a stage of evolution; both its speed and strength had achieved a qualitative leap.
At this moment, Gary still smiled disdainfully, appearing somewhat nonchalant, "Not bad, you're qualified to be my opponent."
He looked at the heavily injured Pidgeotto, "Bulbasaur, Sleep Powder!"
Ash was slightly stunned, "Has Gary's Bulbasaur become this strong?"
It must be said that there is still an unbridgeable chasm between those with status and commoners.
But no matter what, this green field never lacks geniuses; effort is the only entry ticket!
Some people are born at the top of the pyramid, while others struggle at the bottom, but they never choose to give up.
True gold always shines; every young person should have dreams, be a dream chaser with light in their eyes and fire in their heart.
"Bulba, Bulba." Bulbasaur suddenly sprayed powder from its back, flying towards the Pidgeotto.
"Pidgeotto!"
The originally calm Pidgeotto became agitated at this moment, and gusts of wind swept towards Bulbasaur.
"This is... Pidgeotto's Flying-type move, Wing Attack!"
"Bulba, Bulba." Bulbasaur tried to dodge but was directly hit by Wing Attack and sent flying to the side.
At this moment, Bulbasaur was covered in bruises because Pidgeotto's Flying-type move happened to be super effective against Grass-type Pokémon.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Gary's face was filled with disbelief; he couldn't believe such an easy attack would injure Bulbasaur so badly.
Ash and Xiao Mu rushed forward, "Gary, let us help too."
There is strength in numbers, and judging by the current situation, Gary's predicament was not very optimistic, due to the level difference and type advantage.
Ash looked at the Pidgeotto in the sky, his brows slightly furrowed, "I choose you, Froakie!"
With a bang, a flash of white light, Froakie jumped out.
Although Pikachu had already recovered from its poisoned state, it was still somewhat weak, so Ash did not call Pikachu out.
Xiao Mu also didn't hesitate, "Come out, Cyndaquil!"
A Pokémon similar to a hedgehog jumped out of the Poké Ball, its back covered in blazing flames.
Cyndaquil's gaze was incredibly sharp, staring at the Pidgeotto in the sky, and the flames on its back burned fiercely.
Ash was somewhat shocked by this, "This Cyndaquil isn't high-leveled, but its personality is excellent; such fighting spirit is truly commendable!"
Xiao Mu chuckled, "I think so too. I'm already very content to have such a Pokémon!"
Xiao Mu looked at Cyndaquil on the ground, his eyes filled with pride and affection. In his opinion, Cyndaquil was a unique existence.
"Bulbasaur, Razor Leaf!" At this moment, Gary also began to become a bit serious.
Because he seemed to have been a little careless; this Pidgeotto was very unusual, having actually learned such an advanced Flying-type move!
Receiving the command, Bulbasaur began to gather strength, and Razor Leaf quickly slashed out.
"Good, we're up too, Froakie, use Bubble!" Ash smiled slightly, already prepared.
Running now was definitely too late; given Pidgeotto's flying speed, they would certainly be unable to escape, with no chance at all.
If the three of them teamed up, there was still more than a fifty percent chance of success, and they had Pokémon of different types.
Ash's Froakie was Water-type, Xiao Mu's Cyndaquil was Fire-type, and Gary's Bulbasaur was Grass-type!
After this series of successive attacks, Pidgeotto would likely be in a tough spot. They just needed to find a weakness to critically injure Pidgeotto.
"Cyndaquil, we need to work hard too! Give it your all, use Ember!"
Xiao Mu was filled with fighting spirit, full of glory, and bravely moving forward, as if nothing could stop him.
The three high-spirited young men, at this moment, worked together to confront this powerful opponent.
Razor Leaf, Bubble, Ember—a series of attacks directly hit Pidgeotto.
"Pidgeotto!!"
Pidgeotto let out a mournful cry, its body covered in terrible injuries.
At this moment, Pidgeotto was incredibly furious. If it hadn't been so heavily injured, how could it have fallen to this state?
"Nice job, Froakie!" Ash looked at the Bubble attack that perfectly hit Pidgeotto and felt very satisfied.
Because generally speaking, with such a large level difference, Froakie's attack might miss.
After all, the evolved Pidgeotto's speed far exceeded Froakie's.
With the Blaze ability, Cyndaquil's attack was also extremely powerful, its might not to be underestimated!
"Now's the time, Bulbasaur, use Sleep Powder!" Gary seized the opportunity and immediately gave the command.
At this moment, Pidgeotto was simply making things worse for itself; its condition was extremely low, and its speed would drop significantly.
"Bulba, Bulba." Soon, a cloud of powder sprinkled onto Pidgeotto, also hitting accurately.
Hit by Sleep Powder, Pidgeotto felt weak all over, dizzy, and fell directly from the sky.
Boom, Pidgeotto crashed heavily to the ground, stirring up clouds of dust around it, forming a foggy area.
"Bulbasaur, use Vine Whip!" Gary didn't give Pidgeotto any chance; only by striking while it was asleep could he inflict heavy damage!
Ash opened his mouth slightly, as if to say something, but quickly closed it.
Bang, Bulbasaur's Vine Whip attack harshly whipped Pidgeotto, looking somewhat cruel.
After this series of attacks, Pidgeotto had lost its ability to battle, its eyes seeing stars.
Froakie directly leveled up to level 9, and Xiao Mu's Cyndaquil also leveled up to level 9!
At this moment, Gary's Bulbasaur had not yet leveled up, because the further along, the slower a Pokémon's growth rate becomes.
"I still have to rely on This Young Master; you're really too weak."
Gary smoothed his hair, his expression incredibly proud, as if he had never experienced any setbacks.
Ash lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking about.
Just as Gary was still showing off, huge noises were coming from ahead.
At this moment, it was as if heaven and earth trembled, and the fallen leaves on the ground were all swept up.
"What is that...?" Xiao Mu's eyes widened as he curiously looked ahead.
He didn't know until he looked, and when he did, Xiao Mu was so scared his soul almost left his body, "Everyone run, it's a flock of Pidgeotto!"
Hearing Xiao Mu's words, Gary immediately vanished without a trace, taking off running, completely disregarding his image.
It could be said that as much as he was showing off a second ago, he was just as disheveled now, almost losing his shoes.
The two fell silent, quickly recalled their Pokémon, and also hurried to catch up, not daring to stop for a second.
In this situation, let alone three people teaming up, even combining their feet wouldn't help!
Because this was a flock of Pidgeotto, a dense group of them, it looked like there were dozens!
One Pidgeotto was already tough enough; they didn't want to die young. They had to run for their lives before the Pidgeotto arrived.
"Xiao Mu, you stepped on my heel, ah, my shoe!!" Ash cried out, but still didn't dare to stop.
Shoes or life, Ash knew the difference. He bent his entire body forward, sprinting at a hundred-meter dash speed.
Just like that, one of Ash's shoes said goodbye to its owner, "Tonight I sail away."
In moments of desperation, the body's potential is unleashed, and the few of them demonstrated this vividly now.
To exaggerate a little, Su Bingtian would feel inferior if he saw them.
You can imagine what it's like when a dog is chasing you.
"I can't go on..."
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Mu collapsed to the ground, panting, his face incredibly pale.
A moment later, Ash and Gary also slowly stopped, lying directly on the ground, gasping for air.
Ash, wearing only one shoe, looked somewhat... "Ash, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to!"
At this moment, Xiao Mu felt incredibly embarrassed because he was in such a hurry that he accidentally stepped on Ash's shoe.
Ash forced a smile, "It's fine, I don't need shoes. Just think of me as a barefoot immortal."
"A barefoot immortal? What's that, can you eat it?" Xiao Mu looked at Ash, asking with a puzzled expression.
Ash's face was covered in black lines, and he fell completely silent. Sometimes, he really wanted to curse.
But then he thought, he was a person of quality, how could he say such things!
Suddenly, Gary signaled them to be quiet, "Everyone be quiet, it sounds like something is approaching!"
The two immediately shut their mouths, not daring to even breathe, for they absolutely had to remain quiet until they knew what it was!
