Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile

In the center of the arena.

"Pika... Pika... Pikapikapika——!!!"

Pikachu let out an extremely passionate scream, and the thunder entwining it erupted completely at this moment!

Countless golden arcs of electricity burst forth from its tiny body, covering it entirely.

The density of that Thunder Light was astonishingly high. It almost solidified and transformed Pikachu into a dazzling golden sun!

An overwhelming catastrophic power poured from its body, causing the entire Gym to shake violently at this moment.

Inside the Pokeball, Mewtwo’s expression changed slightly, again?!

She didn’t hesitate to extend her hands from the Pokeball, channeling her Superpower without reservation into that transparent barrier.

The League-supplied barrier shattered instantly, dispersing into a sky full of light points.

At the moment of its shattering, a more solid and deeper azure barrier reformed around the battlefield, firmly sealing the entire battle area within.

The next moment, Pikachu’s electricity-filled body charged fiercely towards the Meteor Shower descending from the sky.

"Rumble——!!!"

Golden Thunder Light fiercely collided with the crimson Meteor Shower in mid-air.

It was a clash between the power of bonds and the dignity of the Steel Dragon.

Blinding light instantly engulfed the entire Gym, even causing the azure barrier to shake violently, rippling endlessly with densely overlapping waves.

The entire crimson Meteor Shower was shattered and obliterated under the impact of the golden Thunder Light.

Yet Pikachu’s golden lightning didn’t halt for a moment; instead, it charged relentlessly through the Meteor Shower, striking directly towards Duraludon on the other side of the battlefield.

"Duraludon——!!"

Raihan’s pupils shrank suddenly, but he was already too late to react.

"Boom——!!!!"

The golden Thunder Light, filled with the power of bonds, hit Duraludon’s body solidly.

Terror filled the steel body, swallowing it whole.

The blinding electric light rampaged crazily in the center of the arena for more than ten seconds before gradually subsiding.

Once the golden electric light dissipated, the entire arena was completely altered beyond recognition.

A massive charred pit appeared in the center, with lingering electrical arcs flickering on the azure barrier.

And at the center of the pit, Duraludon’s massive body lay heavily on the ground.

Its once snow-white steel armor was charred black, covered in dense burn marks from the electric currents.

Duraludon had its eyes tightly shut, without even a hint of struggle remaining, and completely lost its ability to fight.

The entire Gym fell into dead silence.

The referee stood dumbfounded for a long time before coming to his senses, tremblingly raising the flag in his hand.

"Duraludon is unable to battle!"

"All six Pokémon are unable to battle. The winner of this Gym battle is the challenger Ash——!"

Ash and Pikachu slumped to the ground, gasping for air.

The Pika Papow move consumed them both significantly.

Ash supported himself with one hand on the ground and raised his other hand, forming a fist towards Raihan on the other side of the field.

That meaning couldn’t be clearer—we won.

From within the Pokeball, Mewtwo’s voice slowly transmitted into Ash’s mind through telepathy.

’You’re as reckless as ever.’

Ash smiled helplessly, responding internally.

’Can’t help it, Pika Papow’s power is uncontrollable.’

’Once unleashed, it’s the maximum power attack.’

’Since Gym Leader Raihan used his strongest move, we can’t hold back on our side.’

Inside the Pokeball, Mewtwo shook her head helplessly.

’If I hadn’t acted, the entire Gym, or even half of Blackthorn City, would be turned to ashes.’

’That move’s aftermath isn’t something the League’s barrier could withstand.’

Ash grinned widely.

’I knew you’d intervene.’

’That’s why I dared to let Pikachu go all out.’

Mewtwo paused, finally chuckling helplessly and withdrawing her consciousness back into the Pokeball.

Though her tone carried a hint of scolding, she ultimately indulged her reckless trainer.

After all, it’s not the first day her trainer’s been so reckless.

As Ash’s Pokémon, what could she do but help cover for him continually? Indulge him.

On the other side of the field, Raihan hurriedly crossed over the battered arena and quickly approached Duraludon’s side.

He crouched down, carefully inspecting Duraludon’s condition.

Once he confirmed Duraludon was still breathing, he let out a long sigh of relief.

That scene just now was clear as day to him.

The League-supplied barrier was actually shattered directly by Pikachu’s attack.

Without a doubt, Pikachu’s Pika Papow far exceeded the range achievable by Champion Level.

It likely... touched the threshold of Divine Domain Level.

This possibility was absurd to the extreme.

A champion-advanced Pikachu whose attack could reach Divine Domain Level?

What kind of international joke is this?

Yet the facts lay bloodily before his eyes.

The League barrier’s strength was without error; being shattered outright indicated the terror of that strike.
