Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile-Chapter 682 - 366: Pikachu vs. Suicune, the Outburst of Volt Tackle!

Faced with Suicune’s challenge, Ash chose Pikachu this time as his response.

On one hand, Pikachu’s Electric Attribute has a restraining effect on Suicune, and on the other hand, Pikachu has just returned to the Elite Level, precisely needing a battle with enough pressure to stimulate the potential within him.

Elite Level is a level Pikachu had originally reached, and now he has merely returned to it. The next realm is the one Pikachu truly needs to start breaking through.

For ordinary Pokemon, Gym Level to Elite Level is a threshold, which is much harder than Junior Elite Level to Mid-Elite Level. But for Pikachu, it’s relatively easy because he has already reached this realm.

Going from Junior Elite to Mid-Elite is uncharted territory. Even so, Pikachu is already closing in on Charizard and the others, and this battle may just be the opportunity for advancement.

If he can break through, it means Pikachu will rejoin the ranks of the Big Three and become the top among them.

However, come to think of it, in the few battles Ash has lost, it seems he lost every single one under attribute advantage conditions.

Charizard versus Glaceon, Pikachu versus Togekiss, in both battles Ash had the attribute advantage, yet lost the matches.

Conversely, in many negative attribute battles, he has defeated the opponents. If Trainers had titles, Ash might have earned the title of Negative Attribute Master by now.

Will this positive attribute battle be able to wash away the shame of always losing when at an advantage?

As Ash finished speaking, Pikachu jumped from beside him to in front of him, golden electric sparks dancing on his cheeks, looking eager and very excited.

At the same time, the Pokeball at Ash’s waist opened directly, and Mewtwo appeared in front of Suicune.

At the moment Mewtwo appeared, all the hair on Suicune stood on end, looking at Mewtwo with heavy eyes. From that Pokemon, it felt an extremely terrifying aura.

This Pokemon has reached the same realm as Ho-Oh. Unexpectedly, the messenger of Ho-Oh has such a Pokemon on hand. No wonder Ho-Oh would have the Three Holy Beasts test him.

When Suicune first saw Ash, it thought he was too young. Although it had not appeared before humans for years, it and the other Three Holy Beasts had always been silently observing humans.

It is generally clear on what level humans can reach at what age, and now Ash’s age barely qualifies him to have Gym Level Pokemon, which is already considered a genius. To accept the test of the Three Holy Beasts seemed like a fool’s dream.

But now it seems, the clown was itself. The strength of that Pokemon might not even be something the Three Holy Beasts could handle together, let alone one-on-one. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

However, Ash seemed not to intend to use that Pokemon in this battle, but instead...

Suicune’s gaze shifted to the small figure in front of it. Compared to the pressure Mewtwo gave it, Pikachu’s aura was insignificant. Although it was surprised that a Pikachu could reach this level, it still wasn’t enough.

It’s more fitting for the new one to come, but if that new Pokemon came to battle, then it would be Suicune who wouldn’t be enough.

"Woah~" Ho-Oh’s messenger, are you sure you want to use Pikachu for the battle?

"Of course, Pikachu is my partner. Don’t underestimate him, or you’ll suffer a big loss!" Ash said confidently to Suicune with a smile on his lips.

Those who underestimated Pikachu were all defeated, and Suicune would be no exception!

As Ash’s words finished, he took off his hat and threw it forward. The hat landed perfectly on Pikachu, and instantly, Pikachu and the hat seemed to merge into one—Partner Form!

Facing an opponent of Suicune’s level, not using the Partner Form from the start would be disrespect towards the opponent.

Besides the Partner Form, there’s also—Aura remains in my heart!

"Boom!!" The combination of the two powers caused Pikachu’s aura to transform instantly. The calm and composed embodiment of the North Wind watched in shock as the electric mouse, who was insignificant moments ago, reached a level almost on par with it in just a few seconds.

For a moment, Suicune questioned its existence. What is this? Have humans unknowingly advanced to this extent? This isn’t scientific!

Even as Ho-Oh’s messenger, one must adhere to the basic laws of the world! Ascending from Elite to Champion in a few seconds—what kind of concept is that? It’s as absurd as a Fearow evolving into Ho-Oh!

"We’re ready Suicune, let’s begin this first test! It’s just the right prelude for our entry into the Johto Region!" Ash said excitedly, waving his hand.

It’s been a long time since a full-throttle battle—the last time he went all out was commanding Mewtwo in battle, and further back, it was commanding Charizard in a battle against Lorelei.

Pikachu hasn’t experienced the power of a Champion in ages because he was in recovery. Now that he’s back at the Elite Level, he hasn’t fought a single battle. This is essentially the first rehabilitative duel!
