"Use shrinking to dodge," Ash commanded, relying solely on his battle instincts.
Muk shrank again, its body shrinking to half its original size, and the Dark Pulse missed its target entirely.
Muk is now less than 20 centimeters long, smaller than it was when it first appeared.
"Ash used shrinking to evade Tyranitar's attack, seemingly intending to buy time until the poison took effect," the host said.
"Continuous Dark Pulse, attack the ground!" Shigeru hadn't expected Muk to be so troublesome, so he could only take it slow.
"Roar!!"
Tyranitar lived up to its name as a tyrant, constantly launching attacks on Stink.
Boom! Boom! Boom...!
Although Muk has shrunk in size, its speed has also decreased. While the Dark Pulse may not hit Muk, the explosive impact from the ground can still affect it.
Minutes later, the area was completely destroyed, and the Mud had returned to its original size, lying on the ground in a muddy mess, its eyes darting around.
"Muk is unable to fight," the referee said.
After being wreaked havoc by Tyranitar, Muk couldn't withstand it either. After being hit by the shockwave multiple times, it collapsed from exhaustion.
Tyranitar's 203 form isn't in great shape right now either. Although it won, the deadly poison in its body is brewing into an even more potent toxin.
At first, the poison doesn't cause much damage to Pokémon, even less than that caused by ordinary poisoning. However, as time goes on, the toxicity of the poison will increase. Not to mention Elite Four level Pokémon, even Kyogre might not be able to withstand it.
"Muk has been defeated, but Tyranitar doesn't look too good right now. Ash still has two Pokémon he can use, so he should have a chance to defeat Tyranitar," the commentator said.
The host had no hope that Xiao Zhi could not win; now it was just a matter of whether Xiao Zhi could defeat one of Xiao Shi's Pokémon.
However, it seems difficult. If Gary wants to win the Indigo League championship with an undefeated record with a single Pokémon, he can just recall Tyranitar later.
"Abandoned Monkey, I choose you!" Ash threw out the Poké Ball.
Baton!
【LV43 Abandoned Monkey♂/Heavenly King】
"Ash's fourth Pokémon is Forsaken, which is very effective against Tyranitar. It's just unknown whether Forsaken will have a chance to get close to Tyranitar," the host said.
Ash chose to send out Abandoned. Although Abandoned had a type advantage, the level difference between the two was too great. It was questionable whether Abandoned would even have a chance to get close to Tyranitar.
"Apexopod, use Shadow Punch!" Ash commanded.
The Abandoned Monkey, its entire body radiating dark red shadow power, unleashed a punch, sending a dark red fist flying out.
boom! !
Tyranitar did not retaliate, but instead used its body to withstand the attack.
"Tyranitar, Dark Pulse!" Gary commanded.
"Roar...!"
Tyranitar, panting heavily, unleashed a Dark Pulse at Forsaken.
"Use shadow clones to evade!"
The Forsaken ran swiftly, creating numerous clones that easily dodged the Dark Pulse, and then charged towards Tyranitar from different directions with its clones.
"sandstorm!"
"Roar!!"
Tyranitar swung its arms, and a sandstorm swirling with sand particles spread outwards, blowing away all of Abandoned Monkey's clones. Abandoned Monkey's true form then emerged from the sandstorm and appeared before Tyranitar.
"True Qi Fist!"
"Tit for tooth!"
Gary and Satoshi issued commands almost simultaneously.
"Roar!!"
"Miro!!"
Tyranitar and Forsaken use their moves at the same time.
boom! !
boom! ! !
Abandoned Monkey was faster, and its Aura Punch hit Tyranitar first. Tyranitar's Iron Fist, glowing with black light, also struck Abandoned Monkey. Abandoned Monkey flew backward and crashed to the ground, its crimson eyes gradually fading to gray-black.
"The Forsaken Monkey has lost its ability to fight," the referee said.
Abandoned Monkey was defeated, while Tyranitar withstood a Power Punch but did not fall. However, Abandoned Monkey's Power Punch caused considerable damage to Tyranitar.
"The Abandoned Monkey successfully launched an effective attack, but still fell down. Who will Ash send out as his fifth Pokémon?" the host asked.
"Ah, I can't bear to watch anymore!" Xiaoxia lowered her head, unable to bear it any longer. She hadn't expected the gap between Xiaozhi and Xiaoshi to be so vast.
Xiao Gang also fell silent for a while. They had all been traveling with Xiao Zhi, and Xiao Zhi could be considered their half-disciple. Seeing Xiao Zhi being beaten so badly, they couldn't bear it.
Sabrina watched silently. She didn't understand why Gary would suddenly be so ruthless towards Ash, showing him no mercy at all, even though he had often given Ash pointers before.
Is this another attempt to give Satoshi a pointer?
...!
Ash's mood was terribly low. Even Ash himself didn't expect the game to turn out this way, but he wouldn't give up the match just because of that.
Ash turned to Pikachu beside him and said, "Pikachu, I'm counting on you."
"Pickup!"
Pikachu charged into the arena from the command area, looking fiercely competitive, with golden arcs of electricity constantly shooting out of its face.
"Ash's fifth Pokémon is Pikachu. This Pikachu has performed exceptionally well in previous matches. I wonder if it can defeat Tyranitar," the host said.
Gary looked at Pikachu and calmly commanded, "Tyranitar, use Rock Sharp!"
"Roar!!"
Tyranitar turned around and lashed its tail at the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom...! Sharp stone pillars burst through the ground and kept extending towards Pikachu.
"Pikachu, move at high speed to dodge."
Pikachu transformed into a golden streak of light, moving swiftly across the field. Stone Attack relentlessly pursued it, unable to keep up with Pikachu's speed. Pikachu quickly closed in on Tyranitar.
"Thunderbolt!" Ash immediately gave the command, and the lightning accumulated in Pikachu's body shot out.
Tyranitar used Sand Shield to defend, but Thunderbolt pierced through the sandstorm and hit Tyranitar, causing a numb sensation in its body and rendering it unable to move for a moment.
"It didn't even stop!" Xiao Mao was a little surprised. It seemed that the poison had a great negative impact on Tyranitar, as even Pikachu's Thunderbolt couldn't stop it.
"Well done, Pikachu, use Thunder!" Ash seemed to see the light at the end of the tunnel and continued his attack.
"Pika~chu!!"
The electricity within Pikachu surged forth, transforming into a powerful bolt of lightning that struck Tyranitar once more.
"Roar...!"
Tyranitar let out a mournful cry of resentment, its body tilting slightly backward as if it couldn't stop, and it fell to the ground.
"Tyranitar is unable to fight," the referee announced.
160: Ash is defeated!
"Oh my god, Pikachu defeated Tyranitar!!" the host exclaimed. "Brown has finally lost a Pokémon!"
With Tyranitar down, Gary's undefeated streak was finally broken.
"Great! Ash finally defeated one of Gary's Pokémon!" Misty exclaimed.
"It's too early to be happy now. Little Gary still has 5 Pokémon he hasn't used yet," Brock reminded him.
Xiaoxia's heart, which had just begun to calm down, immediately jumped again upon hearing Xiaogang's words.
“Although Gary used all his strength, it seemed like he was still giving Ash pointers. He could have easily recalled Tyranitar, but he didn’t. He deliberately let Ash defeat Tyranitar,” Brock said.
Xiaoxia fell silent. If Xiaozhi were to review the match recording after it ended, he would probably be in an emotional state for a long time.
"Brother Gary's Tyranitar lost. I wonder what Pokémon he'll send out for his second match. Will it be Blastoise, which he used in the preliminaries?" the host speculated.
In previous matches, Blastoise had been incredibly fierce, usually defeating its opponents with a single blow.
Gary looked at Ash and laughed, "Ash, you did a pretty good job, but your journey ends here. Let me show you my strongest Pokémon right now."
After saying that, Xiao Mao took the Maverick Advanced Ball from his waist and threw it into the sky.
Baton!
A golden figure appeared in the air above the arena.
"Aww!!"
A cry echoed throughout the quartz sports field.
[Level 63 Zapdos/Champion]
The Quartz Stadium fell silent instantly, everyone's eyes widened, staring incredulously at the golden figure in the arena.
"My goodness, Shigeru... he actually sent out the legendary Pokémon, Zapdos!!" the host exclaimed.
Not only the host, but the audience was also stunned, unable to believe that they could see a legendary Pokémon at the Indigo League.
"Holy crap!! Zapdos, Gary actually owns a Zapdos."
"Who exactly is this Xiao Mao?"
"No wonder they say that none of the contestants in the entire Quartz Conference are as good as him. Who can compare to him?"
"Master Mao, you're so handsome! I want to be your girlfriend, I'll even be your sex slave!!"
"...!"
The audience went almost crazy when they saw Zapdos; they were all incredibly excited.
Ash was stunned and took out his Pokédex to scan it.
Pokédex entry: "Zetzart, a legendary bird spirit, whose flapping of its shimmering wings produces intense lightning."
