There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

"Raichu, store the electricity in your tail and then split it!"

After hearing the instructions from the trainer, Raichu became spirited and gathered a large amount of electrical energy to its tail. Until the entire tail was flashing with dangerous electricity, it swung its long tail and held it in front of it.

The powerful electric current attached to Raichu's tail actually split Psyduck's water cannon like an axe!

The water droplets, having lost their power, no longer fell with the same momentum as before, and Xiaoye and Psyduck both felt a moment of palpitations.

At this moment, the Raichu with lightning flashing at its tail was making terrifying "sizzling" sounds all around, and the dark area was also illuminated by it.

At that moment, Xiaoye's heart suddenly shrank, and the sudden discomfort was as if something was suddenly taken away from him.

Obviously, the current environment is favorable created by the "Pray for Rain" released by Psyduck, but he always feels that something is slipping away from his palm. He swings his playful tail and pounces on Raichu, whose battery bag on the cheek is emitting a slight electricity.

"Hahahaha, Raichu, you're excited too!?"

Ma Zhishi laughed and tore off his black coat and threw it away casually, then took a step forward into the field, letting the rain soak him.

Then he pushed back his hair that was wet by the rain and hung down. With his entire upper body exposed, he looked indescribably wild.

"Then let's end this battle with the brightest lightning! Use Thunder!"

Following Ma Zhishi's order, Raichu could no longer restrain the electricity that had been stored in its battery bag for a long time, and raised its tail glowing with lightning towards the dark clouds above the field.

"Psyduck, Surf to interrupt it!"

Xiao Ye, whose heart was beating faster for no reason, had a premonition that if Raichu really succeeded in releasing this skill, the situation... would no longer be under his control!

Psyduck, who felt the same as his trainer, was also aware of the urgency of the situation. He shouted, summoned a huge wave, and pushed his hands forward. The huge wave rushed towards Raichu like an ocean wave.

The huge waves successfully knocked the Thunder Hill to the ground. Just when Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief and thought that everything was settled, several completely purple lightning bolts rushed out from the tail of the Thunder Hill and pierced the clouds above the field.

And Raichu slowly stood up in the lightning. Even though its fur was wet, it did not look embarrassed. Its eyes were full of determination for victory.

Rumbling--

That's... thunder?!

Everyone, including Xiao Ye, looked towards the clouds where dull thunder suddenly sounded. The lightning that passed through the clouds brought a strong sense of oppression, making everyone under it breathless.

The thunder roared louder and louder, like someone beating drums in my ears.

At this time, Xiao Ye's heartbeat, which was facing the thunder, was uncontrollably in sync with the thunder. The two sounds were entangled with each other, making him unable to distinguish what the sound was.

As the dark clouds above the venue were almost completely eroded by lightning, bolts of lightning began to fall from the sky with deafening roars.

Every strike of lightning brings with it rocks that fly out as the site is damaged.

The thunder is unstoppable!

Everyone in the gym had deep purple lightning flashing on their faces as they watched the scene in shock.

At this time, the last bolt of lightning also arrived above Psyduck, falling down with overwhelming force!

"Psyduck, water cannon!"

Xiaoye's whole body was trembling, but at this moment he used his gradually clearing brain to wave his forearm with two more rows of teeth marks on it and shouted.

He didn't know whether Psyduck could withstand this powerful lightning, but if he gave up first, Psyduck would really have to face this lightning alone.

Just like he said to Ma Zhishi, this battle was a challenge they initiated together, and no one could escape until the last moment!

Psyduck was also stunned by the fierce thunder, but after hearing the trainer's clear voice, it quickly returned to combat mode, raised its head to face the falling lightning, and used all its strength to condense the most powerful water cannon in its throat.

"Go!"

Ma Zhishi and Xiao Ye both roared, their eyes fixed on the confrontation between the thunderbird descending from the sky and the water dragon soaring into the sky.

After a loud bang, the entire gym was filled with smoke and dust.

The referee, who was lying sideways and covering his nose, wanted to turn on the ventilation equipment to disperse the smoke and dust that was blocking his vision, but no matter how he pressed the button in his hand, there was no response.

Could it be that...even the exhaust system was destroyed in the confrontation just now? !

After an unknown amount of time, the smoke and dust finally dissipated naturally, and everyone present stared closely at the location where Psyduck had previously released the water cannon.

"Psyduck has lost its ability to fight, Raichu wins! Challengers, please change Pokémon!"

The dark clouds gradually dissipated, and the faint light outside the window was finally able to shine into the gym through the glass, revealing its current appearance.

Xiao Ye's heart ached as he looked at Psyduck lying unconscious in the huge pit created by the lightning.

Although the Raichu on the opposite side was panting and very tired, he still persisted on the field.

The referee's voice echoed in the silent gym.

pop- pop-

Suddenly, there was a burst of applause in the stands. The stunned Shamatte boys came to their senses and stood up, waving their arms and applauding this wonderful duel.

Amidst the endless applause like waves, Xiaoye took out the Poké Ball and retrieved the exhausted Psyduck.

"This applause belongs to you, Psyduck."

The boy tightly grasped the small round ball in his palm. When he raised his eyes again, he placed his right arm in front of his chest and threw the Poké Ball with his backhand. "Venetian Snake, I leave it to you."

The little green snake returned to the venue and stood on the edge of the huge pit.

It lowered its eyes slightly to see the depth of the huge pit, and admiration for Psyduck emerged in its heart. It took the game more seriously.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Ma Zhishi laughed and said, "Sakuya Ye, you really didn't disappoint me! Just like Takenori said, you are indeed a very difficult novice trainer!"

Xiao Gang then put down his red palms and asked, "Did he just say 'martial arts'?"

"Yes. He is the Rock-type Nibi Gym Leader, Takenō. He is highly sought after by many people who are into Rock-type Pokémon. He is famous for defeating the current Team Rocket leader Cahill's six Pokémon with just one Onix."

Kitazawa Reiyuu didn't expect that the leader of the Withered Leaf Gym would be related to the leader of the Nibe Gym, and judging from Ma Zhishi's tone, the two seemed to be quite familiar with each other?

"Uncle Wu Neng...?"

"Yes, Nibi Gym Leader Takenō."

Ma Zhishi nodded and stretched his muscles. He was so refreshed at this moment that he didn't mind revealing more about his good friend.

"Not long ago, he specifically told me that he estimated that a little baby with silver-gray hair would soon arrive in Vermilion Leaf City, and asked me to show off my real skills to you."

Xiao Ye and Xiao Gang were both stunned, but Ma Zhishi didn't seem to have much patience to waste on small talk, and waved his hand.

"The rest will be decided after the battle. Raichu, 100,000 volts!"

"Vine Snake, dodge and use the vine whip to grab Raichu!"

After Snake dodged the 100,000-volt attack by leaning sideways, it extended its vine whip to wrap around Raichu as its trainer instructed.

"One hundred thousand volts!"

"Stare!"

The two voices sounded almost at the same time, and were interrupted by the glare of the Vine Serpent just after lightning appeared on the surface of Raichu's body.

Its amber pupils were now filled with ferocity, causing Raichu to panic and interrupt the flow of electrical energy.

Vine Snake successfully lifted Raichu and pulled it in to its side.

"Use this force to perform a million-ton kick!"

Raichu shook his head and came back to his senses, struggling to break free from the vines, and using gravity to release a more powerful million-ton kick from a high altitude.

"Vine Snake, dodge and use Charm!"

The vine snake retracted its vines and pulled away, jumping high when Raichu's legs kicked into the ground, splashing a large piece of gravel and unable to move, closing one eye and running a hand across its lips, a heart floating towards Raichu as it blew a kiss.

After being hit by Charming, Raichu completely lost his will to fight, and looked at Serpentine falling back to the ground with hearts in his eyes.

At this moment, it was only attracted by the graceful posture of Snake when it landed, and its ears automatically rejected the attack commands from the trainer.

"Vine Snake, the final blow to Leaf Storm!"

"Raichu lost the ability to fight, and Snake won! Since both Pokémon of the gym trainer lost their ability to fight, the winner of the gym challenge is the challenger Sakuya Ye!"
