Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile

Chapter 817 - 433: Thunder Master Raikou? Standing Before You Is Pikachu, the Thunder God!

After completing thorough preparations, Ash finally let Pikachu leap onto the field to confront Raikou.

Before unleashing its full power, neither Raikou nor Morty could determine Pikachu’s true strength.

Perhaps Raikou could vaguely sense it, but that would be all.

"So, finally sending out Pikachu? Let me see how powerful the Pikachu that defeated Lorelei’s main Pokemon really is." Seeing Pikachu enter the field, Morty’s expression turned serious.

Those unaware of the details might find it ridiculous for such a Pokemon like Pikachu to face Raikou.

But he knew the background of this Pikachu; it had once defeated Lorelei’s main Pokemon months ago. Only Ash could know how strong Pikachu is now.

Sending out Pikachu at this moment shows he has enough confidence in Pikachu.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt." Ash initiated the attack first, his voice calm but full of undeniable combat intent.

"Pika---chu!!!"

Pikachu stomped the ground forcefully, and the surrounding thunder erupted entirely at that moment! A golden lightning bolt as thick as a python shot out from its body, carrying destructive momentum, and struck towards Raikou!

Where it passed, the air was ionized into mist, and the ground was burnt into a charred ditch. All the lights in the gym dimmed under the Thunder Light.

"Raikou, Thunderbolt!" Morty issued the same command almost simultaneously.

Raikou let out a thunderous roar, scarlet eyes swirling with thunderclouds.

It stomped the ground sharply, countless golden lightning bolts spewed forth from its thundercloud-like mane, forming a pillar of lightning on its head, no less than Pikachu’s, and charged to meet Pikachu’s Thunderbolt!

The two golden lightning bolts collided fiercely in the air.

"Boom!!!"

Deafening thunder exploded in the gym, causing the entire venue to tremble violently! The brilliant golden lightning illuminated everyone’s face into pale white, the violent shockwave spreading in all directions, kicking up debris and dust.

The transparent barrier issued by the league shook intensely, rippling, nearly torn apart by this terrifying energy.

The Mewtwo in the Pokeball frowned slightly, then silently released its power, stabilizing the barrier once more.

This clash of thunders had already faintly touched the threshold of Champion Peak.

The stalemate lasted less than a second.

Pikachu’s golden lightning bolt burst into even more dazzling light, tearing through Raikou’s Thunderbolt with undeniable momentum!

"Crack------"

Raikou’s lightning bolt split like a bamboo cut by a sharp blade, splitting in two, scattering countless tiny arcs of electricity.

And Pikachu’s Thunderbolt did not pause for a moment, piercing through the remnants of lightning, solidly striking Raikou!

"Boom!!!"

The golden lightning swallowed Raikou’s massive body entirely, blasting the ground into a charred pit with debris flying.

Raikou let out a low growl, bracing itself against the ground, withstanding the blow, but its body was pushed back by the terrifying power, digging four deep claw marks in the ground.

The dust gradually dispersed, and Raikou still stood firm in the center of the field.

Several charred marks appeared on its golden fur, and its thundercloud-like mane was slightly disheveled, but those scarlet eyes still burned with violent battle intent, its breath slightly disrupted but not weakened.

The physique of a legendary Pokemon is incredibly terrifying.

Morty’s pupils slightly contracted, looking at that small yellow figure on the field, his mind rife with indescribable shock.

Elite Advanced Level.

He finally saw Ash’s Pikachu’s true level.

But how could an Elite Advanced Level Pikachu unleash such terrifying momentum?! From its aura, Pikachu’s power seemed to have reached Champion Advanced Level!

Moreover, in that thunderbolt clash earlier, Raikou’s thunder was easily ripped apart as if it were made of paper before Pikachu.

This is Raikou! A controller of thunder, one of the Three Holy Beasts, Raikou!

In a direct confrontation of Electric Type Moves, Raikou actually lost to a Pikachu?!

Raikou’s level was Champion Advanced Level, even if the opponent was also Champion Advanced Level, it couldn’t possibly so effortlessly crush Raikou’s lightning head-on.

The only explanation is... that Pikachu’s true power is even stronger than its level, stronger than the aura it displayed!

"This Pikachu... what kind of monster is it." Morty murmured, his voice filled with uncontrollable shock.

In the audience, Misty and Serena simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, their tightly clenched fists slightly relaxing.

"Pikachu, Zippy Zap!"

Ash’s voice rang out again, not giving Morty any chance to breathe.

"Pika!"

Pikachu stomped the ground forcefully, and the ground beneath it cracked instantly. Its body turned into a golden lightning bolt, moving so fast that even its afterimage couldn’t be seen, leaving only a dazzling electric arc in the air!

Morty’s pupils contracted abruptly, completely unable to capture Pikachu’s figure!

"Bang!!!"

The muffled sound of impact exploded in the gym.
