Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile-Chapter 692 - 371: Blaziken vs Venusaur, The Second Three Starter to Reach Elite!

Faced with May's request, Ash only hesitated for less than a second before nodding: "Bring it on."

This time it was May's turn to be stunned. Generally speaking, when faced with a challenge from someone you've just met for less than half a day, shouldn't you at least ask why? Yet Ash didn't even ask and just agreed directly.

"Between Trainers, as long as you lock eyes, that's a signal for a duel. I could tell from the beginning that you wanted to battle me, so I was already mentally prepared, let's go, May, there's a training field nearby that we can use as a battle venue," Ash noticed May's surprise, so he shrugged and said.

When he first met May, he already saw the fighting spirit hidden in her eyes. This girl was not only beautiful but also seemed very enthusiastic about battles, which could be discerned from her aura.

Therefore, when May proposed a battle, Ash only instinctively paused for a moment before directly agreeing.

"Oh, oh, let's go then." Ash's straightforwardness left May a bit flustered. Clearly, she was the one who proposed it, but why did it seem like Ash was the eager challenger instead?

The group left the drink shop and arrived at the battle field near New Bark Town. The usually unused battle field was now packed with people.

Just like Ash said, between Trainers, locking eyes is the signal to start a battle. New Bark Town's Trainers flooded in like waves recently. Even if they didn't know each other, as long as they saw the Pokémon released by the other and felt an itch, they could propose a challenge.

Adding a little wager increases the excitement of the battle, and one could say that there was an endless stream of people battling.

After May and Ash arrived, they could only queue up and wait. New Bark Town added eight new battle fields, making ten in total, all filled with people. Although there were many battle fields, when constructing them, the League and designers considered whether the Pokémon's skills would affect the people around or interfere with neighboring battle participants.

That's why these battle fields are spaced out nicely. Although there's no fence surrounding them, a range is marked out on the field's four sides to keep spectators from getting too close.

Ash and May queued for about thirty minutes before it was their turn.

"How about a single match to decide the winner?" Ash proposed.

"Sure, multiple Pokémon battles take a lot of time, and once we're done, we can recover and head off to Violet City." May agreed readily. She also thought of a one-on-one match so that they could experience each other's strength without wasting too much time. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

...

"Hey, isn't that Ash at the battle field over there?"

"Ash? The one who battled Lorelei of the Elite Four?"

"Isn't he the one who brought out a Legendary Beast? Wow, it really is him! Let's go take a look!"

...

Ash was almost instantly recognized by the spectators outside when he appeared. Upon seeing the battle field with Ash, they all rushed over to this viewing area, and suddenly, the entire battle field was surrounded tightly by people.

Serena stood behind Ash, looking at the crowding scene all around. She couldn't help but shrink her neck.

"This... there are just too many people, right? It's clearly just a little informal match, why does it feel so exaggerated, no less than the time in the Orange Archipelago where he battled the Orange Archipelago's top trainer?"

"This is Ash's fame for you. With so many people watching, Ash, don't embarrass us from Kanto!" Misty shouted to Ash.

"Don't worry, I won't tarnish the name of us Kanto people. Then I'll decide to use him, go, Venusaur!" Ash tossed out his Pokeball, and with a flash of light, a robust Venusaur appeared on the field.

"Banana!!" Venusaur hadn't been out in a while, and finally having a chance, it let out an excited yell.

"Venusaur, one of the Kanto Three Starter, then I will send him out! Go, Blaziken!" May tossed her Pokeball, and with a shimmering light, a majestic figure appeared on the field.

This was a Pokémon with white feathers and a V-shaped crest, its eyes were blue, and it had bandaged claws and strong, powerful legs.

Overall, it looked pretty cool, and just by looking at its appearance, it gave off a very powerful vibe.

Ash glanced at the information about the opponent and discovered that this Blaziken was actually a Gym Peak Pokémon, with quite high attribute values. Besides dual defense and physical special attack reaching A-Level, its speed and attack were even S-Class.

This Blaziken has the bearing of a Champion!

Who would've thought that a random Trainer encountered by the roadside would turn out to be the daughter of the Thousand Miles Gym Leader, with this much power? Judging from her appearance, she seems to be around his age; to think she possesses a Gym Peak Pokémon at such a young age!

"How about it, isn't my Blaziken cool?" Seeing Ash's dazed look, May thought he was stunned by Blaziken's debut charm. According to her aesthetics, Blaziken's coolness was undoubtedly top-notch, and among many Pokémon, it was considered quite attractive.
