Ash's aura truly startled Shingo.
The boastful words he was about to utter were swallowed, and he could only say stubbornly, "Since you want to humiliate yourself, I have no reason to refuse."
The young master actually agreed to the battle, and these disciples were even more excited than Muramasa, immediately clearing the battleground.
Ash, with Heracross, looked at these disciples, "After this battle, I hope to battle all of you as well!"
This statement made it seem as if Ash already had victory in his grasp, completely disregarding Shingo, who was already sitting opposite him with his laptop.
Shingo was furious, "Damn it, I'm going to teach you a good lesson!"
Saying that, he threw out his Poké Ball, and from it emerged another Scizor!
"Blaze, he is my strongest Pokémon! His speed, power, and stamina all surpass my father's Muramasa; he is the most perfect Scizor in the world!"
Looking at the Scizor named Blaze, Ash was speechless, "Shingo, how big is your world?"
To dare to say this is the most perfect Scizor in the world, putting aside everything else, where do you place the Scizor of the Kalos Steel-type Elite?
Shingo didn't immediately react to Ash's words.
"Young master, he's mocking you for being a frog in a well!"
It was only with a reminder from a disciple behind him that Shingo understood Ash's meaning, and his anger became uncontrollable.
Seeing Shingo's expression, Muramasa nodded. Before the battle even began, Shingo's emotions had been stirred by Ash, which would inevitably affect his judgment in the upcoming battle.
Muramasa looked at Ash, but saw that his face always carried a mocking smile, yet his eyes were incredibly clear.
How did he find such a profound young man!
"Enough with the nonsense, Blaze, use Quick Attack!" Shingo's emotions were stirred, and he lost his composure. He couldn't hold back any longer and ordered Blaze to attack!
It must be said that this Scizor was indeed well-trained; its speed and explosiveness were both excellent.
Ash and Heracross seemed to not even react before Blaze knocked them backward.
"Hmph, you can't even react to Blaze's attack, and you say you want to defeat me!" Shingo grew complacent, his gaze at Ash filled with contempt.
"Nothing more than that!" Ash chuckled softly, "Heracross, use Aerial Ace!"
The retreating Heracross suddenly opened its eyes, spread its hidden wings, and turned around to fiercely ram into Blaze!
It knocked Blaze flying out.
"Blaze!"
Shingo exclaimed in surprise when he saw Blaze get hit. He then looked at the computer, which showed that this Heracross's command reaction speed reached 0.18!
This greatly exceeded Heracross's normal value!
"Your Scizor's speed is indeed excellent, but can it maintain that speed consistently?" Ash said with a victor's smile.
"Do you still have time to look at the computer?" Ash's smile suddenly vanished. "Brick Break!"
No sooner had he spoken than Heracross caught up to Blaze again, striking its head with a palm!
Shingo's computer suddenly displayed a warning; this was a new record.
Heracross's command reaction speed was even faster.
"How can it be so fast!" Shingo still didn't know what had happened. He had just updated Heracross's data, and Blaze was already taking hits consecutively.
"Blaze, adjust your stance, use Flash Cannon!"
Upon receiving the command, the attacked Blaze immediately stood up, took its stance, and its large pincers gleamed with a metallic luster!
"Focus Blast!"
The metallic energy cannon and the fighting-type energy sphere collided, creating a terrifying explosion. Both Blaze and Heracross were blown away.
"Blaze, get up quickly!"
"Heracross, use Take Down!"
The aftershock of the explosion was still present, but Ash's command had already been given. A glint flashed in Heracross's eyes, and it fearlessly charged towards Blaze.
Relying on its sturdy Bug-type shell, Heracross bravely pushed through the explosion's aftershock, striking Blaze's waist with a slap!
"Blaze, quickly dodge, use Agility!"
Blaze's figure vanished the instant Shingo's command was given.
It seemed Shingo had realized he should have utilized Blaze's speed advantage earlier!
Blaze's speed was indeed very fast. Under Agility, it transformed into several afterimages, surrounding Heracross.
"Heracro!"
From within these afterimages, Heracross's cries of pain could be heard, clearly indicating it was taking continuous hits!
"Heracross, use Megahorn, strike the ground!"
Faced with such a predicament, Ash showed no panic, instead giving a strange command!
Just as everyone was puzzled, Heracross's large horn fiercely slammed into the ground!
Rumble!
Heracross's strength was already formidable, and it was using a Bug-type ultimate move. Instantly, the entire ground vibrated under the immense attack!
Everyone present felt unsteady on their feet, almost falling over.
Scizor, which was under Agility, stumbled even more and fell directly to the ground!
"How is that possible? Using Megahorn caused an Earthquake effect!"
"That's too amazing! Who is this person!"
"Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!"
At this sight, only four words appeared in Shingo's mind!
"Beyond comprehension!"
"Beyond comprehension!"
"Beyond comprehension!"
As he was still in a daze, Ash's command came again, "Heracross, Brick Break!"
Heracross flapped its wings and flew up, striking Blaze's head with a palm.
"Blaze is unable to battle. The winner is Ash!"
Muramasa announced Ash's victory, looking at his beloved son, who still seemed disoriented. Looking at his computer, it displayed a series of question marks.
He couldn't help but shake his head. Had this child been too traumatized?
He had originally wanted to find a peer to defeat Shingo, so he could understand that battles aren't decided by data, but who knew the Ash he found would be so formidable.
Of course, Muramasa wouldn't blame Ash for this. If anyone was to blame, it could only be his son for being too sensitive.
He had someone escort Shingo back to his room and went to accompany him, planning to have a good talk with his son once Shingo recovered.
He believed that after this setback, his son would be reborn, reach a new level of strength, and gain a new understanding of Trainers and battles.
As for Ash and the others, since he wanted to challenge all the disciples of the dojo, he would let the disciples play with him first.
