Chapter 819 - 434: Pika Papow! The Pokemon That Commands Thunder Is Defeated by Thunder!
"Why... why can that Pikachu achieve such a level? No matter how special it is, being able to make such a leap in strength is just too exaggerated!"
Faced with Morty’s skepticism, Ash was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Because the bond between Pikachu and me is unmatched. It’s the power of our bond!"
Partner Form, Aura Fusion... This kind of power boils down to two words—bond!
The intangible bond, yet in their hands, could be transformed into substantial power!
Upon hearing this, Morty showed an expression of disbelief. A bond... How is he supposed to be convinced of that reasoning!
"Pikachu, Zippy Zap!" Ash didn’t give him time to think and ordered again, as the battle was still ongoing; if distracted, it only shows the Trainer’s skills are lacking!
Pikachu once again transformed into golden lightning and immediately closed in on Raikou. Morty instinctively wanted to order an evasion, but Pikachu’s speed was simply too fast.
Ash could read Raikou’s speed, as he first figured out what Morty wanted Raikou to do, but he couldn’t understand Ash’s command, let alone, Morty had been pondering the effect of the so-called ’bond’ power.
"Focus Punch!"
Ash’s voice rang out at the moment Pikachu charged in front of Raikou.
Pikachu’s right fist suddenly tightened, and a vast amount of Fighting Energy crazily converged onto its small fist!
No charging action, no readiness, Focus Punch just exploded without any warning!
"Boom!!!"
The glowing white fist solidly smashed into Raikou’s jaw, sending its massive body soaring into the air!
"How is it possible that it could unleash Focus Punch without even charging?" Morty’s mood was in turmoil again; not having recovered from Zippy Zap, he was once again shocked by this charge-less Focus Punch.
Focus Punch, a powerful Fighting Type move.
The principle of this skill is to concentrate all the body’s power at a single point. The longer the charge, the stronger the power.
Even Champion Level Fighting Type Pokemon require at least half a second of charge time to gather enough energy to release Focus Punch.
But what did that Pikachu do?
As soon as Ash’s command was given, the full glow of Focus Punch burst forth from Pikachu’s fist!
No charging, no readiness, no preparatory action. The moment the command was given, the skill was released.
It’s like making a Pokemon use Hyper Beam and completely skipping the charging and rigid moments, utterly absurd!
In the audience, the students had their mouths agape, their jaws practically hitting the ground.
"No way... that’s not possible!" Ah Xiang rubbed his eyes, thinking he was mistaken, "That was Focus Punch, not Mach Punch! How could it possibly be used without charging?"
"I didn’t even clearly see how it threw the punch..." Another student murmured to themselves, their face showing a worldview-shattering expression.
Xiao Qi, as the referee, stared intently at that small yellow figure in the field, her mouth wide enough to fit a Pokeball.
"Gym Leader Morty clearly said during class that Focus Punch requires charging... Did he teach something wrong?"
Morty’s lips twitched. Of course, he didn’t teach wrong! Focus Punch is indeed a skill that requires charging; it’s common knowledge acknowledged by all Trainers in the Pokemon Realm!
But that Pikachu just broke this common knowledge.
"Now, Volt Tackle!" Ash’s onslaught still hadn’t stopped; he once again commanded Pikachu to use its ultimate Electric Type move, also Pikachu’s signature move—Volt Tackle!
Pikachu stomped on the ground, and the surface instantly exploded. His body was once again enveloped in golden thunder, like a rising comet, soaring upwards fiercely, crashing towards Raikou in mid-air!
"Raikou, Thunder!"
Morty finally reacted, and his command came at this critical moment.
Raikou, stabilizing its stance in mid-air, roared fiercely as thunderclouds surged in its crimson eyes. It let out a thunderous roar, and the lightning mane surrounding it burst out blinding golden thunder light!
A golden lightning column, thick as a giant pillar, erupted from its body, charged with the power to destroy everything, crashing down towards the charging Pikachu!
The momentum of that thunder column was more terrifying than any previous attack; even with the protective barriers, nearby students couldn’t help but move back, and Xiao Qi was so scared her legs went a bit weak.
Because she was the closest to the field!
"Pika! Pika! Pika—Pi-ka-chu Pikachu!!"
Pikachu didn’t dodge, his gaze locked on the golden thunder tiger. It clenched its teeth, its expression twisted in pain due to the thunder’s impact, but amidst his thunder eruption, the terrorizing thunder column was forcibly split apart!
The golden thunder light from Volt Tackle and the golden thunder column from Thunder clashed fiercely in mid-air, emitting a piercing "crackling" sound.
Pikachu’s body continuously trembled amidst the thunder light, but its charging momentum didn’t slow down in the slightest!
Just like that, Pikachu charged upstream against the terrifying Thunder, forcing its way to Raikou’s front!
"Boom!!!"
Volt Tackle hit solidly against Raikou.
A blinding golden sphere exploded in mid-air, and the intense shockwave spread in all directions, causing the Gym’s transparent barrier to tremble violently, creating ripples.
