Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile

Chapter 833 441: Here Comes Good Luck! Snorlax: Thunderbolt? I Thought It Was a Speed Bump!

Not only was Volkner shocked, but so was Ah Yi. Despite being a Trainer for so long, he had never seen a Snorlax move at such speed. Isn't this just an agile fatty?!

At this moment, Manectric was already unable to dodge. Its Wild Charge had already struck, and it was caught in the inertia of the move.

Thus, Manectric could only watch as the earth-toned energy swirled around the bear paw, growing larger in front of its eyes.

"Boom—!!"

High Horsepower slammed against Manectric with incredible force!

The golden Thunder Light around Manectric was ripped apart by the earth-toned Ground Type energy upon impact, scattering into countless arcs of electricity!

Its body was like a baseball hit by a bat, flying backward at an even faster speed than it had come!

"Crash!"

Manectric heavily collided with the transparent barrier at the edge of the Gym, producing a deep, resonant sound. The barrier shook violently, causing ripples to appear.

Its damaged body slid down from the barrier and collapsed on the ground, yet after a while, Manectric managed to stand back up; it wasn't defeated by that single blow.

However, the scars left by High Horsepower were clearly visible on its body, with several parts torn open, each breath accompanied by a deep, wheezing sound.

After Belly Drum, Snorlax's Physical Attack was pushed to the limit. Not to mention, High Horsepower is a Ground Type Skill, having double restraint against pure Electric Type Manectric.

Combining the two, with just one strike, Manectric's Physical Strength was knocked down to the level of a flickering candle.

Volkner's face became extremely grim, not just because Manectric was beaten into this shape in one hit, but also because of Snorlax's anomaly.

This speed was simply not typical for a Snorlax; in terms of flexibility, it was like an agile monkey!

What kind of monster is this Snorlax?

Misty held Togepi and thoughtfully nodded: "When Ash captured Snorlax, I felt something was off. In terms of speed, this Snorlax is extraordinarily fast."

Brock slowly closed his mouth and rubbed his face, stiff from shock. That slap from Snorlax had really taken him by surprise.

Because he hadn't had much interaction with Snorlax, and basically, Ash hadn't trained it much after acquisition, mainly focusing on bonding through eating, drinking, and having fun.

After all, Snorlax is one of the few Pokemon that doesn't require training but grows stronger rapidly.

It's better to say eating and sleeping is Snorlax's training method.

So Brock had no idea that Ash's Snorlax had such special qualities!

"Ash really... none of the Pokemon he captures are normal! Each one is stranger than the next!" Brock couldn't help but remark.

"I have no idea why, but all those weird Pokemon seem to be drawn to Ash, like he has some special attraction, right, Togepi?"

"Jioji Dui~~" Togepi joyfully chimed, being one of Ash's many peculiar Pokemon!

Having Togepi seems to have further boosted Ash's luck with draws to a terrifying extent!

But that's something Misty and the others wouldn't know.

On the field, Volkner took a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart.

Manectric's Physical Strength was already spent, another hit might take it down. Engaging directly offered no hope of winning; a change in strategy was necessary.

"Manectric, Electric Terrain." His voice returned to calm.

Manectric let out a low roar, and the dim Thunder Light on its body brightened again, but this time it didn't coalesce into an attack; it spread from beneath its feet outward in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield was covered by a layer of golden electric grid, with delicate arcs of electricity filling the air, making a gentle sizzling sound.

Electric Terrain—while the terrain persists, the power of Electric Type Moves used by Electric Type Pokemon on the field gets enhanced.

Moreover, the terrain offers special uses for Electric Type Pokemon; under electrified conditions, Manectric's Speed could increase!

"Manectric, Thunderbolt!" Volkner continued swiftly to give the second command.

If close combat won't suffice, then wear them down with long-range attacks.

This Snorlax is indeed agile, but that's all there is to it; in terms of actual Speed, surely it can't outrun Manectric?

As long as they can establish distance, using Thunderbolt from afar to attack will be effective; no matter how nimble Snorlax is, it won't matter. If Snorlax tries to approach, Manectric can use its speed to widen the gap!

Moreover, now with Electric Terrain's boost, Thunderbolt's power has leveled up significantly; even Snorlax's Physical Strength wouldn't withstand continuous Electric Type attacks.

Watch as he uses the last bit of Manectric's strength to toy with the opponent!

At Volkner's command, the Thunder Light around Manectric surged under the reinforcement of Electric Terrain.

A thick golden lightning bolt shot out from its body, striking toward Snorlax! That speed was astonishing, leaving only a dazzling afterimage in the air.

Ash's command echoed almost simultaneously with the generation of electricity.

"Snorlax, Giga Impact."
