Chapter 98 The Pink Demon, the Grand Elder of the Soul Palace
"It's your turn to shine, Clefairy!" Ash casually tossed it, and a pink demon appeared on the battlefield.
It hopped and skipped as soon as it appeared, its round, chubby body showing no signs of clumsiness at all.
"It's here, Clefairy!" Sundae couldn't forget the terror this Clefairy had instilled in her for a long time.
"Dragonite, use Dragon Dive!"
"Picoxi, become round."
It quickly ascends into the air above the arena, and as the Dragonite reaches its highest point, it makes a difficult sharp turn and dives towards Clefairy.
A terrifying phantom of a giant dragon appeared around him.
Clefairy, which had shrunk into a pink ball and then returned to its original shape, looked up and saw Dragonite already close by.
"Pico, hehe, hehe, hehe!"
A normal Pokémon would be terrified and shrink back at the sight of this, but Clefairy just laughed excitedly.
"Ash's Clefairy is just as wild no matter how many times I see it." Professor Oak thought back to the days when Clefairy caused trouble in his backyard.
If he hadn't intervened in time and caused them to both suffer heavy losses, Clefairy might have actually killed Gary's Arcanine.
"Picosie, Magic Flash!"
Upon receiving the command, Clefairy flashed with a brilliant light in the blink of an eye, and a beam of light, perfectly matching the shape of its body, shot towards the swooping Dragonite.
The two energies converged, and a series of huge explosions rang out, the strong winds that arose made it impossible for the audience to open their eyes.
"What an intense clash of skills! Which Pokémon ultimately gained the upper hand?" the commentator exclaimed excitedly.
Before the smoke had even cleared, Dragonite's figure flew backward from the edge of the dust cloud above.
Picoshi won the battle, and its round, chubby body remained in place, continuing to hop and jump.
He kept pounding his chest with both hands, like a gorilla.
"Pico, Pico!"
It felt like being back in Pokémon Academy, Clefairy waving her hand and challenging Sundae.
"Damn it, let's come back and rest for a bit, Dragonite."
Seeing the Dragonite struggling to get up, Sundae picked up a Poké Ball to replace it.
"I knew you'd send out Piccolo, so I've prepared a special surprise for it."
Despite Dragonite's defeat, Sundae showed no panic but instead revealed a calm smile.
"Ash, I spent almost all my savings to defeat you, so prepare to face my wrath."
"Bring on my beautiful rose, Metagross!"
She sent out a Pokémon that was entirely blue, had a disc-shaped body, and had thick, powerful legs extending from all four sides of its body.
"Wow, that's so unexpected! The Pokémon Sundae recalled Dragonite and sent out Metagross, an extremely rare Pokémon from the Hoenn region!"
"Metamorphose—another pseudo-legendary?!" Ash is now extremely envious of the Yuto family's power.
Many rare Pokémon can't be bought with money, and he really wants them!
"This Metagross looks really strong. Ash is in a bit of danger this time." Brock carefully observed Sundae's Metagross.
It was discovered that its color, shape, and body structure were all perfect, clearly indicating that a great deal of effort had been put into its careful cultivation.
"Metamorphosis uses metal claws!"
"Picosie, get out of the way!"
The Metagross, which is said to possess computing power greater than that of a supercomputer, is indeed formidable.
First, it slowly got up, slowly raised its arms, and then quickly attacked Piccolo with its claws.
This technique, so fast and slow, is truly overwhelming and leaves one momentarily speechless.
The powerful metal claw struck, and Pico was knocked into the ground.
"Metroid presses its advantage, unleashing Comet Punch!"
Although he was knocked into the ground, Piccolo quickly recovered.
He grinned and immediately jumped out of the pit to dodge Metagross's Comet Punch.
"Picosie, you go back first—"
"Pico!"
"Want to fight again? Alright, Piccolo, let's continue our battle and utterly defeat the enemy!"
Seeing the fighting spirit burning in Clefairy's eyes, Ash decided not to replace it.
"Wouldn't it be better to replace Clefairy, which has a type disadvantage, at this point?" Xiaochun didn't quite understand Xiaozhi's decision.
Brock seemed to understand a bit more about the difference between Ash and Clefairy.
"It's true that you should usually switch them out, but as a trainer, you also have to pay attention to what the Pokémon thinks."
Misty, who is most familiar with Ash's battle methods, was not at all surprised by his actions.
"Well, that's Ash's unique way of battling. He never plays by the rules."
"Pico used a powerful charge!"
The pink figure immediately charged at its opponent with astonishing force.
Before the opponent could react, it had already struck the Metagross's massive body.
Furthermore, when Piccolo bumped into Metagross, it nimbly grabbed one of its paws.
"What are you trying to do? Metagross Metal Claw, throw it off right now!" Sundae was worried that Piccolo was going to use a skill similar to a self-destruct attack.
"Destruction Ray!"
Metagross raised the claw that was firmly held by Piccolo, and it glowed white as it prepared to slam it to the ground.
But at that moment, Clefairy seized the opportunity and fired a Hyper Beam at extremely close range, hitting Metagross squarely.
After the explosion, both Pokémon were thrown away by the impact, but they both stubbornly stood up again.
"Taking advantage of the opponent's momentary lapse after using Hyper Beam, Metagross unleashed a barrage of Comet Punches!"
Metagross, with its supercomputer-like intellect, quickly regained consciousness.
Taking the initiative, they launched a fierce attack on Piccolo, with all four metal arms flashing white light as they frantically attacked Piccolo.
For a moment, Piccolo was like a pink ball being constantly patted by it.
Even after such a rapid onslaught, Metagross was getting a little tired and quickly retreated to create some distance.
But Piccolo actually stood up again.
Its eyes were bloodshot, and it wiped the dust off its face, letting out a strange, cacophony of laughter.
"How come this Pixi is so tough? It hasn't fallen down after so many moves!" Sundae was already a little scared.
This Picoxi is like an unkillable cockroach, seemingly never going to fall.
"Wow, Ash's Clefairy! It can still stand up after such a fast and type-disadvantageous attack. It's so resilient!"
The commentator and the entire audience applauded Picosi's willpower.
That's what they don't understand: Clefairy not only had Ash's type advantage but also served as his punching bag for a whole year.
It has high HP and can withstand a lot of damage.
"Pico—"
Although Pikachu still has the ability to fight again, Ash knows that its stamina will eventually run out.
"It's time to decide a winner; we at least have to take Metagross away!"
"Picosie, charge in with Comet Punch!"
Seeing the aggressive Pixie charging towards it, Metagross hesitated for a moment.
"We can't be afraid, Metagross uses Comet Punch too!"
The gap between the two Pokémon quickly narrowed, and their fists were about to land on each other.
"We've been tricked! Right now, Pikachu is using Flamethrower!"
Thanks to the tacit understanding gained from numerous battles, Clefairy can carry out Ash's ideas without needing any extra instructions from him.
With a swift movement, the chubby body squatted down, and Metagross's Comet Punch swept past Clefairy's head.
But then, beneath Metagross's body, Piccolo opened its massive maw and unleashed a burst of flame.
"Metamorphosis!"
Metagross was blasted away by Pixie's Flamethrower and took a lot of damage.
"Metamorphosis is incapacitated."
As the referee's flag was waved down, the Pokémon Globe on the big screen dimmed once again.
"Pico—heh, heh, heh!"
Seeing Metagross fall, Clefairy burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.
