Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"Charizard can't fight, Swampert wins!" the referee announced.

"Charizard, you've worked very hard. Come back and have a good rest." Xia Bo took back the Charizard that had fainted on the ground.

"Great! Now each side only has two Pokémon left." Misty said with a smile.

"It's hard to say. The two Pokémon that Chabot has left are both in full condition, while Ash only has the injured Swampert and Pikachu that has not been sent into battle yet. The next battle may be a tough one for Ash." Brock analyzed.

"Xiaozhi will definitely win the game." Xiaoxia said firmly.

Xia Bo took out a super ball and threw it out: "This is my No. 5 player."

"Cry~"

The light faded, and a Pokémon that looked like a chandelier appeared on the playing field. It had a round head with stripes and round yellow eyes without pupils. It had a smaller black spike on top of its head, with a tall, shining purple flame on it. Below its head was a black lamp holder, with a pair of curled black lamp-shaped arms, with four clusters of burning purple flames on the ends.

"This Pokémon is..." Xiaozhi took out his Rotom phone and scanned the Pokémon in front of him: "Crystal Lantern Spirit, a seduction Pokémon, the evolved form of Lantern Ghost. It is said that in a house that uses Crystal Lantern Spirit as a lighting device, there will be continuous funerals. If you are surrounded by the flames of Crystal Lantern Spirit, your soul will be absorbed and burned, leaving only a walking corpse."

"This Pokémon sounds so unlucky." Xiaoxia shuddered.

"Because most ghost Pokémon represent bad luck," Xiaogang replied.

"Crystal Lamp Fire Spirit uses Big Word Explosion Flame!"

"Cry~" Crystal Lamp Spirit aimed at Mega Swampert and sprayed out a large word made up of hot flames.

"Swampert uses Surf to counterattack!"

"Roar!!" Mega Swampert summoned a huge wave and hit the big word "Explosion"...

Zi~ Zi~ Zi~

The blazing flames and the cold waves collided, creating a large amount of steam that filled the air, blocking the sight of both sides...

"roar~"

The giant Swampert, surrounded by steam, looked around to prevent the opponent from attacking him, but he didn't know that the Crystal Lamp Spirit was lurking behind him, waiting for the opportunity to attack...

"Crystal Lamp Spirit uses Sun Flame!"

"Cry~" The crystal lamp spirit hiding behind the Mega Swampert began to condense a burning light and released it at the target...

"roar~"

A blazing beam of light came from behind the Mega Swampert and hit it, causing it to wail in pain...

After the steam dissipated, the Mega Swampert who had fainted on the ground appeared in front of Ash. Because of the fainting, Mega Swampert exited the Mega Evolution state.

"Swampert is unable to fight, Crystal Lamp Spirit wins!" the referee announced.

"Swampert, come back and have a good rest!" Xiaozhi took back the fainted Swampert and said to Pikachu standing next to him: "The last battle is up to you!"

"Pika~" Pikachu nodded, and then came to the front of the crystal lamp spirit.

"The game begins!" the referee announced.

"Crystal Lantern uses Dark Shadow!"

"Cry~" The Crystal Lamp Spirit aimed at Pikachu and then shot out two black rays from its eyes...

"Pikachu use high speed move!"

"Pica~"

Pikachu ran towards the Crystal Lamp Spirit quickly. Its figure disappeared instantly like lightning, but it reappeared in the next moment, and appeared closer to the Crystal Lamp Spirit. And every time Pikachu flashed, it avoided the attack of the Night Shadow...

"Pikachu, use Thunder Punch now!"

"Pica~"

After Pikachu dodged the last Dark Shadow, he bent his limbs slightly and jumped in front of the Crystal Lamp Spirit, and smashed it hard with his right fist covered with electricity.

"Cry~"

The sudden heavy blow knocked the Crystal Lamp Spirit back several meters, and the moment it stopped, it quickly aimed at Pikachu and shot a black beam of light...

"Pika~chu!!"

In an instant, Pikachu's entire body was filled with electricity, and he immediately released a high-voltage current towards the oncoming Dark Shadow...

BOMM!!!

The smoke caused by the explosion filled the air, and the Crystal Lamp Spirit took this opportunity to hide in the black fog, trying to seize the opportunity to sneak attack Pikachu...

"Are you trying to use your old tricks again? I won't let you succeed this time. Pikachu, use Counter Shield!"

"Pica~"

Pikachu, who was covered in smoke, quickly lay on the ground and spun while releasing 10 volts. The 10 volts spun not only blew away the smoke, but also covered the crystal lamp spirit hidden in the smoke in a protective shield...

Bang~bang~bang~

"Cry~"

The Crystal Lamp Spirit, which was covered by the counter-attack shield, was constantly hit by 10 volts. At the same time, due to the continuous attacks, it was unable to escape from it. The moment Pikachu stopped releasing 10 volts, the Crystal Lamp Spirit fell heavily to the ground like a sandbag, making a dull sound...

"Shabby, this is the anti-fist shield that Pikachu and I created after traveling in the Sinnoh region." Xiaozhi smiled.

"The Counter-Fist Shield is a good skill that can combine attack and defense, and can also block the opponent's Pokémon's movements." Xia Bo praised.

Then Xia Bo changed the subject: "But I accept this counter-punch shield move. The crystal lamp fire spirit will use the jet of fire while spinning!"

"Cry~"

The crystal lamp spirit rotated in place, spraying flames to form a protective shield that continued to expand...

"I didn't expect that my original move could be learned so easily, but since I created this move, I certainly have a way to restrain it." Xiaozhi smiled slightly.

Even though the command was given: "Pikachu use Iron Tail on the ground!"

"Pika~" Pikachu jumped into the air, and then hit the ground hard with its metallic tail. The ground instantly cracked with Pikachu's tail as the center. As the ground cracked, the Crystal Lamp Spirit became unstable and forcibly released its skills...

"Pikachu is using the power grid right now!"

"Pika~" Pikachu aimed at the crystal lamp spirit and threw out a net made of electric current, covering it...

"Cry~" The crystal lamp spirit was restricted by the power grid and suffered damage from the current...

"The crystal lamp fire spirit uses jet flames to break free!" Xia Bo ordered.

"Don't even think about using Surf, Pikachu!" As soon as Xia Bo finished speaking, Xiaozhi issued a new order.

"Pika~" Pikachu took the lead and summoned a huge wave to hit the crystal lamp spirit.

"Cry~"

At the same time, the Crystal Lamp Spirit had just used its blazing flames to break through the electric grid, when it was hit hard by the huge wave summoned out of thin air by Pikachu...
