Pokemon; Freshman Ash

Grimsley, one of the Yi Xiu Elite Four, is as good at Attribute as Karen in Chengdu and Sidney in Hoenn. Ash is also very curious about who is stronger and who is weaker among the three Dark Type Elites.

Grimsley looked at the handsome boy with a Pikachu in front of him. He always felt familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

However, the boy's fighting and eager eyes made him very interested. How should I put it, it reminded him of his own age.

"If you have time, let's play with this boy," Grimsley thought, looking at Ash and nodding.

"I agreed to your battle request, but boy, you have to take out corresponding things as bets."

"Bet?" Mei was taken aback.

"Yes, if you want to fight me here, please bet on the most important thing," Grimsley said with a smile.

It's not that Grimsley is trying to make things difficult for Ash, it's just how he has always been. It is very difficult for him to change now.

Ash nodded helplessly, hearing that Grimsley was born into a downtrodden noble family, so he was infected with the bad habit of gambling. Although Ash has never understood the corresponding relationship between being born in a declining noble family and being contaminated with gambling habits.

It is said that they are declining nobles, so how can they have money to gamble? Or the nobles of Yi Xiu Region have a tradition of gambling.

A silver wing-shaped Badge appeared in Ash's hand. The moment Grimsley saw this Badge, Grimsley's eyes widened suddenly, and the original casual expression on his face disappeared instantly.

"Silver Feather Badge representing Elite, why are you..." Grimsley suddenly remembered who the boy in front of him was in the middle of the sentence, with a clear smile on his face: "Sinnoh Lily of the Valley Conference Champion Ash, it's you, I should have thought of it earlier. I didn't expect you to come Yi Xiu".

"Come here not long ago, how about it, Mr. Grimsley, is this enough as a bet?" Ash asked with a smile.

Grimsley smiled wryly and shook his head, "You are really willing, but I'm not as generous as you, so let's forget this bet."

Only asking the other party to make a bet, but not expressing it on his own side, this is inconsistent with Grimsley's long-standing style. But he really couldn't offer anything of the same value.

Silver Feather Badge, as a Badge, he certainly has it, but Grimsley dare not take it out as a bet. Because he's not 100% sure he can beat Ash.

Seeing this, Ash took back his Silver Feather Badge, "Okay then, please give me your advice."

Grimsley breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Mei behind Ash, "Then, this beautiful lady, I'll trouble you to be the referee temporarily."

"Ah?!" Because Mei was always thinking about why the organization came here, she couldn't hear what Grimsley was saying because she was distracted by Contest Condition.

Ash looked back at Mei behind him, didn't say much, and said to Grimsley, "It's just a 1-on-1 battle, it doesn't matter if there is no referee."

"Okay then." Grimsley nodded. It was indeed like what Ash said, it was just a one-on-one battle, and it didn't matter much whether there was a referee or not.

A silver coin appeared in Grimsley's hand "The order of first strike depends on this coin, I choose heads".

"Yes" Ash's choice is naturally only the opposite.

While the two watched, the coin was thrown into the air by Grimsley, and when it fell again, Grimsley caught it firmly. Ash looked at Grimsley's hand, it was right.

"It seems that luck is not on my side." Grimsley smiled wryly, it is not a good thing for him to strike first. The first attack decides to send Pokémon first, so it is very likely that Ash will send Pokémon restrained by Attribute.

Looking at the Pikachu Grimsley on Ash's shoulder, he said softly, "Leave nothing else to say, that Pikachu is not easy to deal with."

Noticing Grimsley's gaze, Pikachu raised his little hand and yelled with a smile, seemingly in greeting. It's hard to believe that this harmless and cute figure has defeated the Nightmare God Darkrai.

After thinking for 3 seconds, Grimsley threw the Poké Ball. A white light flashed, and a level 70 liumang crocodile with Blue qualification appeared in front of Ash.

Fighting in the desert terrain is more beneficial to the liumang crocodile, and the Ground Type can also restrain Pikachu's Electric Type. Grimsley sent him with consideration, too.

Ash glanced at the crocodile's data, smiled slightly, and opened the Poké Ball. Accompanied by the loud roar that shook the sky, the surrounding temperature rose instantly.

After the white light dissipated, Charizard with sharp eyes appeared in front of Grimsley. Feeling the aura exuded by the Charizard, Grimsley actually had the feeling when facing the Alder Volcarona. No, his first feeling was that this Charizard would be stronger than the champion Alder's Volcarona.

"Impossible," Grimsley thought, but his expression became very serious. This Charizard is tricky, if not as good as Alder's Volcarona.

"Dark Pulse!" The moment Grimsley's voice fell, a huge purple and black light beam quickly hit Charizard.

The speed and momentum of this Dark Pulse alone is definitely the strongest one Ash has ever encountered, and it is comparable to his Dark Pulse of Darkrai.

"Flamethrower".

Facing this purple black beam, Charizard opened his mouth and spit out a red gold flame. When the two attacks collided with each other, Grimsley thought that at most it was evenly matched, but the result was beyond his expectation.

The flame of Red Gold broke through Dark Pulse in less than a second, and the liumang crocodile was knocked down by the Flamethrower before it could react.

The liumang crocodile quickly stood up from the ground, but its expression was very painful. Looking at the burns on the liumang crocodile, Grimsley frowned, "It's a terrible flame."

"Flame Charge!".

Ash's voice brought Grimsley back to his senses, and he saw that Charizard, whose whole body was wrapped in red gold flames, had come in front of the crocodile.

", "So fast?!" While shocked by Charizard's speed, Grimsley hastily let the crocodile use Dragon Claw.

The liumang crocodile raised its green claws, and grabbed the charging Charizard again. Seeing this scene, the corners of Ash's mouth rose slightly, and choosing head-to-head was exactly what he wanted to see.

Facing the Dragon Claw of the liumang crocodile, Charizard immediately stretched out his claws, and strangled the liumang crocodile's claws with his backhand. Before the liumang crocodile could react in surprise, it was thrown into the air by Charizard.

"What?" Grimsley exclaimed, this Charizard's combat awareness and strength far exceeded his imagination. It was actually able to strangle Dragon Claw in this moment and throw the crocodile into the air.

"Take him out with a big bang!" Ash yelled.

"Protect!".

At the critical moment, liumang crocodile successfully used Protect. The light green energy mask narrowly and dangerously blocked the red Gold large-character flame.

But before Grimsley could breathe a sigh of relief, Ash yelled "Fire Pledge".

Seeing that the ground under the liumang crocodile's feet (for Zhao) began to crack, Grimsley immediately directed "use Sandstorm".

The violent sandstorm immediately enveloped the crocodile, and it was unrealistic to block the Fire Pledge just by this. However, Grimsley didn't intend to use Sandstorm to block it, he just wanted to use Sandstorm to weaken the power of Fire Pledge before counterattacking.

It's just that after seeing the might of the Fire Pledge, Grimsley's heart sank suddenly, and the pillar of red fire shot straight into the sky, and the momentum was even more terrifying than the explosion.

In the next second, the tragic Growl of the liumang crocodile came from Sandstorm, and then everyone heard a loud noise. Grimsley's face was a bit ugly, because this was the sound made by the liumang crocodile falling to the ground.

The Sandstorm gradually dissipated, and what appeared in front of everyone was the liumang crocodile that had passed out on the ground.

"Huh" Grimsley took a deep breath, feeling his brain short-circuit. As one of the Yi Xiu Elite Four, he lost in three rounds!!

Ash wasn't too surprised by this. After being trained by Reshiram Blue Flare, Charizard has risen to level 87, which is enough to crush a liumang crocodile. .
