In the mid-air in the center of the venue, two terrifying forces were colliding with each other. The shock waves spreading out were visible to the naked eye. The audience only reacted to this violent impact. Why were they not harmed at all?
In fact, they should have noticed it before, but they were too immersed in the fighting atmosphere on the field to come back to their senses. But now, in front of them, the damage caused by the shock wave has caused ripples to appear on the barrier in front of them.
Only then did they realize that there was a barrier protecting them in front of them. No matter how fierce the fighting was, they would not be affected in any way. It turned out to be the credit of the organizer of the venue!
When Chief Drake fought before, the audience didn't get this kind of treatment, but think about it, how could Drake's previous opponents compare to Ash Ketchum? Isn't it unnecessary to set up a barrier?
However... these barriers were not set up by the organizers of the Orange Islands at all. They were also confused when they saw the barriers. When did such barriers appear in the auditorium?
When the Infernape and the Electivire were fighting, they were all thinking about how to reduce the damage to the audience. As a result, the effect of the barrier was already revealed at that time.
This Elite Four-level battle fully demonstrated the power of the barrier.
This kind of aftermath, which could blow up the entire Citrus Stadium, was unable to break through the barrier at all. Whose handiwork was that?
But now is not the time to dwell on such things. The collision on the field has entered a white-hot stage.
At first, the blue dragon energy could barely suppress the lightning with its murderous aura and Outrage amplification, and gradually advanced towards Pikachu. But slowly, the suppression of the Dragon Dive slowed down, and finally stopped completely when it approached Pikachu!
Seeing this scene, Drake clenched his fists fiercely and shouted: "Dragonite! Come on, we're almost there!"
Just a little bit... just a little bit close!
As long as this move can hit Pikachu, it will be able to completely defeat Pikachu. Even if Ash releases the next Pokémon, Dragonite can quickly recover in the meantime.
However, no matter how much Drake shouted, Dragonite's Dragon Dive could not get any closer to Pikachu. Instead, he was gradually forced back by Pikachu's thunder and lightning.
The golden arc continued to tear apart the dragon energy and murderous intent, and the originally violent blue torrent melted at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Dragonite roared in pain, and the violent will brought by Nilin gradually collapsed under the impact of the thunder. The blue light around him gradually became dim, and the momentum of the dive was completely curbed. The huge body continued to tremble under the package of thunder.
In the blink of an eye, Dragonite was surrounded by the Quick attack erupted by Pikachu.
"Come on Pikachu!!"
"Pika Pika!!" As Pikachu roared, the thunder and lightning on his body surged again. The terrifying thunder and lightning directly wrapped Dragonite's whole body. This time, the dazzling light made it impossible for the surrounding audience to open their eyes.
The shining lightning is even brighter than the sun!
I don't know how long it took, but the thunder light on the field finally began to dim. The audience immediately turned their attention to the field when they felt that their eyes were no longer uncomfortable.
In fact, they had already expected the final result. The lightning flashed like that just now, and the fast dragon was directly swallowed by the lightning. Could a miracle still happen?
On the field, neither of the two Pokemon fell down. Pikachu lay on all fours panting, staring at Dragonite in front of him. Although Dragonite had black marks all over his body from thunder and lightning, he seemed to have not lost his ability to fight.
The audience present couldn't help but clenched their fists. Could it be that... a miracle happened? !
Although Ash still has five Pokemon, as long as Dragonite does not fall, there is still hope of winning!
However, when the audience was still a little lucky, Drake's fists had loosened and he let out a long sigh.
Lost...
Although Dragonite is still standing at this time, in fact, viewers who are closer should be able to notice that the standing Dragonite does not even have the fierce breathing sound of Pikachu.
Is that because Dragonite consumes less energy than Pikachu? That is of course impossible.
Because Dragonite had lost his fighting ability at this time, his eyes had lost the slightest sparkle, and the violent emotions brought by Outrage had also disappeared.
After all, Dragonite has lost his fighting ability, and of course the side effects caused by the Outrage are gone.
After a moment of silence on the field, Dragonite finally lost the strength to stand brought by his last will. His huge body fell backwards, and finally fell to the ground with a crash, his body sinking slightly into the sand.
The whole place fell into a brief silence. The islanders stared at Dragonite who had lost the ability to fight with their eyes wide open, their faces filled with disbelief. This Elite Four-level dragon that conquered everything in the Orange Islands was actually defeated by a Pikachu in a head-on confrontation!
This is when Dragonite uses the Outrage, and also superimposes the extremely powerful Dragon Dive, a very powerful trick in the dragon attribute. If these two sets of combined punches are used, even the Pokemon at the peak level of the Elite Four may not be able to reap any good results.
But Pikachu relied on a move they had never heard of to defeat the dragon in this state. It was simply incredible!
"Drag... Dragonite loses the ability to fight, Pikachu wins! The winner of this game - Ash Ketchum!!"
The first person to react was the referee. He quickly waved the flag in his hand and declared the victory for Ash and Pikachu!
Referees with good professional ethics were shocked for a long time before they came to their senses, let alone others.
Following the referee's order, Pikachu relaxed his tense body and collapsed.
Although he has not lost his fighting ability, the successive collisions have brought his physical strength to the limit. His opponent is pseudo-legendary Dragonite, and he is just a Pikachu at the peak of the gym. Even if he has a partner form, he is only a junior Elite Four.
Facing Dragonite in the Outrage state, his victory was all due to the bond between him and Ash.
The skill of Pika Papow is equivalent to the exclusive skill of the mythical beasts. Its power is enough to reverse the outcome of a game. This is why Ash chooses to use this skill in every decisive battle.
So far, the skill of Pika Papow has not failed. Even an Electivire with an electric engine will be overwhelmed by the terrifying electricity of Pika Papow. This is the gold content of Pika Papow.
What's strange is that since Pikachu's debut, apart from the solo battle with Ash, he has only lost one battle, and that was the battle against Cynthia.
And in that game, they happened to not use flashing lightning.
In that game, it was not that Ash and Pikachu didn't want to use it, but that they used all the methods they could with their best efforts. The tacit understanding between the two has reached the extreme, and the power of the Pika Papow will definitely be maximized.
But the problem is that Pikachu no longer has the energy to use Sparkling Thunder. In this battle, it seems that Dragonite's power will completely suppress Pikachu, but in fact the gap between the two sides is only the difference between the intermediate Elite Four and the junior Elite Four.
But the battle with Cynthia...it was a junior champion versus a senior champion!
The two small levels of the champion level are probably even more exaggerated than the one large level of the Elite Four level. In that case, it would be weird to be able to use the Pika Papow.
However, the final collision this time was not that easy. Pikachu was equivalent to using the power of an intermediate Elite Four to burst out with flashes of lightning, the strongest blow that could hit a pseudo-legendary at the peak of the Elite Four.
Outrage plus Dragon Dive, a pure fail-or-win combo of moves.
Fortunately, Pikachu managed to block it, and even defeated the opponent with a flashing lightning counterattack, which was the final reason why Pikachu completely lost his physical strength.
"Pah." Pikachu collapsed on the field, but he did not feel the sand and gravel. Instead, he felt that he had entered a soft embrace.
Pikachu reluctantly raised his eyes and found that Ash had appeared in front of him at some point. The place where he fell was not in the bumpy dirt, but in Ash's arms.
"Thank you for your hard work, Pikachu, you did a great job, we won!!" Ash excitedly threw Pikachu high, his face full of excitement and happiness.
"Pikapi~~" Although Pikachu was very tired as he kept rising and falling in the air, after seeing Ash's happy look, most of his fatigue seemed to be dispelled. Even his physical strength recovered a little, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Pika Pika~~" After the ups and downs, Pikachu finally returned to Ash's arms. He recounted his feelings with a comfortable face - Infected by your emotions, Ash, I feel that the injuries I just suffered are not so painful, and my physical strength has recovered a lot. It's really magical!
"What, this is me using the power of Viridian to treat you, okay?"
Pikachu:...
Give me back my touch, you bastard! !
On the other side, Drake also took Dragonite back and comforted Dragonite softly.
Dragonite has tried his best. It's not that he is not strong enough, but his opponent is too abnormal. The power Dragonite unleashed this time can be said to be unprecedented, stronger than any previous battle.
After using the Outrage, all aspects of attributes will be greatly enhanced. However, it is very difficult to concentrate on using skills in that state. Generally speaking, being able to use some small skills is already the limit.
But Dragonite could still use Dragon Dive in that state, which was already beyond the limit for Dragonite. Even so, he still lost to the opponent.
In that case, there is nothing to complain about. If you still lose after trying your best, it can only be said that your skills are not as good as others. Just go back and train hard and get revenge on Ash and the others in the future.
"Congratulations, Ash, for becoming the honorary trainer of the Orange Islands." After taking back the dragon, Drake walked to the field and extended his hand towards Ash to congratulate.
"Thank you Mr. Drake, it was such a hearty and wonderful battle!"
"Are you having a good time..." Drake murmured, and then shook his head silently: "Ash and Pikachu, you haven't used your full strength yet, have you? This can't be considered a good time for you."
Hearing this, Ash and Pikachu looked at each other. If they use their full strength, it is indeed useless. One is the power of aura fusion, and the other is that the current Pikachu is not in its best condition yet.
Before entering the Orange Islands, Pikachu's level was already at the level of Elite Four, but after so much time, it was now only at the peak level of the gym, so it was okay to say that he didn't use all his strength.
But in fact, this battle has used up all the power that Ash and Pikachu can use at the moment, so it is correct to say that this battle has used up all their strength.
Either way is actually okay.
"Dragonite and I will become stronger. Let's fight again then, Ash!"
"Well, there will be a chance!"
…
This majestic competition finally came to an end. Drake, who had never lost since becoming the chief trainer, finally lost once, and this time the defeat was not a simple defeat, but a complete defeat.
Ash had a total of six Pokemon, and not even one of them had lost their ability to fight. If people outside didn't watch the game, but just saw the headlines, they might think that Drake was beaten violently by Ash without any power to fight back from the beginning to the end.
In fact, Drake has dealt with it very well, but Ash's Pokemon are not only powerful, but also weird. Unexpected situations always occur during the battle. Otherwise, Drake can more or less solve one or two of Ash's Pokemon.
At least against the first three non-main Pokemon of Ash, Drake has a chance to win.
After the game, the remaining heat of the battle still lingered on the entire Citrus Island. Everyone was discussing the details of the battle between Drake and Ash at home, and the three of them followed Drake to the Victor's Palace.
This place is registered for trainers who have defeated the chief trainer of the Orange Islands.
On a stone slab, the Pokemon who have fought can leave footprints, handprints, or body parts.
A large group photo of the Pokemon and the trainers will also be taken and hung in the Victor's Palace. People who travel to Citrus Island, or the islanders of Citrus Island, can see the photos and marks left by the trainers who have defeated the chief trainer in the past after entering the Victor's Palace.
It has to be said that the winner of the Orange League, or the champion, can be said to have surpassed other league conferences. Which league conference can leave a mark on what hall after winning the championship?
Only the Orange Islands can do it.
No wonder the Orange League has become increasingly popular in the past two years.
