Although Pikachu's attack is strong enough, the current situation really isn't suitable for using electric attribute moves.
Typhlosion and Sliggoo also have trouble handling the current issue, as anyone approaching Electrode risks its sudden self-destruction.
And they can't even take Electrode down with a single strike.
Moreover, don't forget, there's a group of Voltorb around Electrode ready to trigger an Explosion at any time.
Ash thought of this and quickly looked back at Mewtwo, who had just returned to his side, the worries on his face diminished considerably.
If it's Mewtwo, this situation is actually well-suited for Mewtwo's abilities.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Mewtwo."
Mewtwo slightly turned its body, waiting for Ash's next arrangement.
Ash and those purple eyes exchanged a glance, the rapport built over the years quickly formed a simple tactic.
"All those Voltorb are your job, no matter what happens next, don't let any Voltorb successfully trigger an Explosion."
Ash raised his right hand, directly pointing at the Electrode in the center of Moonview Arena.
"Then we'll cooperate and take it down in one strike!"
"Alright."
Mewtwo wasted no words, its body slowly floated forward.
Electrode seemed to notice this unfamiliar opponent, its black eyes gradually shifted from Ash and Pikachu to Mewtwo, and followed by an earth-shaking roar.
"Thunder—!!"
The Voltorb that were peacefully stationary around all suddenly started to Rollout, their bodies soon emitting a dazzling white light.
While in the center, Electrode also began frantically mobilizing the remaining power within, the golden light enveloping its whole body flickered violently, a muffled energy roar continuously emanating from inside.
Ash saw this scene, instantly understood Mewtwo's earlier warning was entirely correct.
These Voltorb were preparing to trigger Explosion, even Electrode itself had already started inducing the energy within, clearly preparing to self-destruct when they got closer.
"Mewtwo!"
Ash just shouted its name, and Mewtwo understood his intention.
Dense purple light instantly shone from Mewtwo's eyes
The immense Mental Power engulfed Moonview Arena in the blink of an eye; those Voltorb that started Rolling were simultaneously lifted off the ground by invisible Telekinesis, then all suspended in mid-air.
No matter how they struggled, they couldn't continue approaching Ash and Cynthia.
The white light on Voltorb's body surfaces continued to flicker, and the energy inside preparing to burst grew increasingly agitated.
But Mewtwo's Mental Power had firmly restrained all Voltorb, even forcefully suppressing the Explosion already in motion.
At the same time, another much stronger Telekinesis directly enveloped Electrode, the massive body that just began to stir suddenly froze in place, the energy about to burst from inside was forcibly subdued by Mewtwo.
"It's now! Psychic!"
The purple light in Mewtwo's eyes suddenly became more dazzling, the Telekinesis originally used to suppress Electrode instantly transformed into terrifying Psyshock, all concentrated on the huge golden sphere.
"Boom—!!!"
The immense Mental Power erupted head-on, Electrode didn't even have time to self-destruct before the gigantic body was directly blasted, flying backward, then heavily crashed into the mountain wall at the back of Moonview Arena.
Bang!!!
The whole rock face violently shook from the impact, a large amount of debris continuously fell from above.
Electrode's massive body was forcibly embedded into the rock wall, yet Mewtwo's control over force was precise to the extreme.
All the shock concentrated almost entirely on Electrode; the surrounding mountain wall didn't suffer widespread collapse because of it.
The Voltorb suspended in mid-air similarly didn't experience the impact of the shockwave.
Though they were all already at the stage of triggering Explosion, under Mewtwo's constant Mental suppression, the agitated energy was stabilizing bit by bit, none successfully exploded.
Once the dust from the impact gradually settled, Electrode had completely lost its ability to fight, but the unusual golden light on its reddish-brown body still hadn't disappeared.
One strike ended it!
"We did it!"
Joy appeared on Ash's face instantly, Pikachu excitedly called out, and Cynthia standing alongside also showed clear delight in her silver-gray eyes as she watched Mewtwo levitate ahead.
The trouble-causing Electrode and Voltorb that could explode at any time were quickly subdued once Mewtwo appeared.
Especially that last strike, not only directly deprived Electrode of its fighting capability, but even the surrounding environment wasn't really affected.
As Ash looked up at Mewtwo, Mewtwo also happened to turn back to look at him, the gaze between human and Pokemon met in mid-air, no need for words, both knew today's cooperation was just as seamless as ever.
"Still as in sync as ever!"
'You haven't changed either.'
Ash's smile grew even wider upon hearing Mewtwo's response, the worries accumulated over this period finally completely lifted.
But as of now, the unusual golden light on Electrode still hasn't been dealt with; clearly, it wasn't the time to sit down and reminisce leisurely.
