Chapter 841: Chapter 445: Power Amplifier and Magnet, Trouble in Pallet Town!
As the barrier shattered, the remaining energy poured unimpeded onto Electivire.
Nine purple Dragon Pulses and nine blue Aura Spheres exploded simultaneously, engulfing the entire field in an ever-expanding purple-blue sphere of light.
The transparent protective shield issued by the League emitted a strained wail the moment it touched the shockwave. Web-like cracks spread frantically from the center in all directions, and in the next second, it shattered explosively, turning into countless light fragments scattered through the air.
"Oh no!!" Ah Yi’s face turned pale instantly, and Misty and others in the audience also had a change in expression.
However, at the very moment the barrier shattered, an even more solid and profound blue barrier appeared out of nowhere, sealing the entire battlefield tightly once more.
The violent shockwaves crashed against this new barrier, only causing slight ripples before being silently dissolved.
Mewtwo—forever divine!
Ah Yi’s attention was briefly captivated by the appearance of the barrier, but he quickly returned his focus to the field.
"Crack----"
The Gym’s floor could no longer withstand such destruction. From the explosion point, the entire field sank nearly half a meter. Web-like cracks extended to the edges of the field but were ultimately tightly restricted by the barrier, preventing further cracking outward.
The dense dust hung like a gray curtain, obscuring everything on the battlefield.
As the smoke finally began to clear slowly, the outline that first emerged from the smoke was the deepest pit in the center of the field.
Electivire lay at the bottom of the pit, limbs spread wide, covered in shocking wounds.
Those strong and powerful arms hung limply at its sides, with its body still harboring the last faint arc of electricity, flickering like a candle in the wind before extinguishing completely.
Even until the end, Electivire did not give up resistance. While releasing Light Screen, it also used its most powerful Electric Type Move as a defense.
However, in front of the terrifying Nine Dragons Playing with a Pearl, its Thunder was like an ant trying to stop a chariot and was shattered without any room for resistance!
The final result was—its combat ability was lost.
Not far from the pit, there was a half-kneeling figure.
Lucario supported itself on the ground, panting heavily, its body trembling slightly. Traces of Aura Energy lingered around it, and its chest heaved so violently that each breath made its body shake.
The cost of Nine Dragons Playing with a Pearl was enormous; maintaining nine Dragon Pulses and nine Aura Spheres simultaneously, and precisely directing them to strike the target at the same time, caused a terrifying drain on both Spiritual Power and Physical Strength.
This move virtually exhausted its stamina. If the opponent hadn’t fallen, Lucario would have had no room for resistance.
This move could only be used as a trump card skill and must be deployed when physically strong.
That is to say, for Lucario now, this move could only be used as a one-for-one skill. If the opponent hadn’t fallen, then it would be the one going down.
Even if the opponent fell, it still lacked the ability to continue battling, though it would, in terms of determining the battle, be judged as conscious and hence victorious, much like now.
"Electivire has lost its combat ability, Lucario wins. Because all of the Gym Leader’s three Pokemon have lost their combat ability, the victory of this battle goes to—Ash!!"
"Yeah!!" When Ah Yi announced Ash’s win, Misty and others jumped up joyfully.
Serena even hugged Misty, their pretty faces beaming with joyous smiles.
This battle may not have pressured Ash much, but for the two spectators, it was tense.
Reflecting carefully as an outsider, one should recall that Ash hadn’t even used his third Pokemon, so even if Lucario failed to defeat the opponent, Ash could send out a third Pokemon to finish the job.
But winning directly was also good, avoiding further risks, as in Pokemon battles, one never knows who will win or lose until the very end.
Volkner also recalled Electivire. He looked at the Pokeball in his hand, remaining silent for quite a while.
Ah Yi stood at the referee’s seat, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately nothing came out.
He had been with Volkner for so long and had never seen the Gym Leader wear such an expression—a complex, indescribable look.
Volkner raised his head, placed the Pokeball back at his waist, and then walked towards Ash, extending his hand when he reached Ash.
"I concede." Volkner said softly, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
Ash shook his hand, grinning widely. The boy’s smile was always carefree and innocent.
"Senior Volkner is really strong too. The pressure from that Electivire was no joke."
Volkner shook his head. He wasn’t being modest; he genuinely didn’t believe he was that strong. Or perhaps, before today, he thought he was already very strong—the strongest Gym Leader in Sinnoh, undefeated in Sunyshore.
However, today’s Ash genuinely taught him a lesson—a deeply memorable lesson!
