"Pikachu, I choose you!"
Xiao Zhi waved forward, and Pikachu immediately stood on the field.
Facing Mr. Mime, who has the Fairy-type, Pikachu was indeed the best choice besides Gengar.
However, this battle could basically only use Pikachu and Gengar.
Sabrina saw Pikachu step out and murmured, "As I expected, you would use Pikachu."
Xiao Zhi: ???
Did she just open a cheat?
Xiao Zhi patted his cheeks, trying to clear his head, and commanded, "Never mind that, Pikachu, use Quick Attack to get close to the opponent!"
"Pika!" (Okay!)
Pikachu quickly started running at high speed, flexibly circling around Mr. Mime, able to dart through various corners in the blink of an eye.
When Pikachu ran behind Mr. Mime, Xiao Zhi shouted, "Now! Use Iron Tail!"
Pikachu leaped up, its tail becoming as hard as iron, like a sharp weapon.
A cold light emanated from Pikachu's tail, cutting a beautiful arc through the air.
Sabrina said calmly, "Barrier."
Mr. Mime turned around, rapidly waving its hands; its creation speed was even faster than Pikachu's speed!
Soon, an incredibly hard glass barrier appeared out of thin air, barely blocking Pikachu's Iron Tail attack.
In this situation, Sabrina just nodded slightly, everything was under control.
Xiao Zhi frowned and continued, "This time, use Thunderbolt!"
In an instant, a powerful electric light erupted from Pikachu's body, and a golden-yellow electric current, like a lightning snake, shot straight towards Mr. Mime's face.
Just as Xiao Zhi thought Pikachu's attack would be effective, Mr. Mime used the Light Screen move again, its arms waving continuously, and soon a block of glass appeared.
The Thunderbolt hit this square glass block, and what was originally like a thick rope of electricity was reduced to a thin thread after being weakened.
This move directly weakened the power of Thunderbolt by more than half!
[Light Screen: Special Attack damage received is reduced by half.]
'Silent command; some Superpower users employ this move, so be careful.' Li Qingfeng's words made Xiao Zhi perk up and think about what to do next.
Seeing Xiao Zhi hesitate, Sabrina took the initiative: "Psychic."
A powerful mental energy emanated from Mr. Mime's body, which was filled with mystical power.
As it raised its hand, Pikachu felt itself suspended in the air, unable to control its body.
Facing this situation, Xiao Zhi quickly shouted, "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt to stop it!"
"Pi... Ka!"
Pikachu strenuously tried to control the electric current stored in its body, hoping to release it all at once to break free from Mr. Mime's Psychic.
However, the opponent's mental power was truly immense, and Pikachu felt powerless.
Mr. Mime casually waved its arm, and Pikachu moved along with it.
Xiao Zhi watched anxiously, wanting to quickly figure out a way to break free.
'Bug-type, Evil-type, and Ghost-type are strong against Psychic-type.
Pikachu doesn't have Bug-type or Ghost-type moves.
Oh, wait, Evil-type!
And James's Koffing also used an Evil-type move to break free from Psychic back then.'
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhi eagerly asked, "Li Dage, does Pikachu have any Evil-type moves?"
Li Qingfeng thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, Trick. This move is innate to Pikachu; your Pikachu knows it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi shouted to Pikachu, "Pikachu, use Trick to break free from Psychic! Remember what happened with Koffing back then!"
Pikachu was startled at first, then recalled Koffing's appearance from back then.
It racked its brain, a cunning look flashing across its face, and a surge of malice emanated from its entire body.
The once powerful Psychic instantly became ineffective under the influence of Trick, which startled Mr. Mime.
This was the first time a Pokémon had broken its Psychic.
Pikachu jumped back to the ground, bathed in a red glow, its Special Attack greatly increased.
Xiao Zhi's confidence surged, and he shouted, "Use Thunderbolt again!"
Pikachu patted its cheeks, and electricity flashed from its sides.
This time, the Thunderbolt was even more powerful than before, and the lightning illuminated the entire arena.
Sabrina tilted her head; Pikachu's recent Trick had caught her by surprise.
She sighed, her voice very soft, but her tone remained as calm as water: "Indeed, the future is always changing."
She closed her eyes, seemingly communicating and commanding Mr. Mime with her Superpower.
Mr. Mime extended its hands forward, and its psychic power erupted once again, fiercely resisting the Thunderbolt's attack, attempting to stop it.
This move was clearly much stronger than the last time; even with the Light Screen's reduction, if it were to hit, it would certainly cause heavy damage.
Pikachu maintained its Thunderbolt, and Mr. Mime likewise used Psychic.
The two sides went back and forth, and for a moment, neither could overpower the other.
'No, I need to find an opportunity to take down Mr. Mime in one go.
If this continues, Pikachu will definitely collapse before it does!'
Xiao Zhi was a bit anxious but still carefully considered a plan to deal with Mr. Mime.
He thought of many ideas, but each one was immediately rejected by himself.
Directly use Quick Attack?
No, no, the power is too low, and it will be controlled.
Use Nuzzle... No, it would be bad if it stuck to the glass.
...
'Right, I can do this!'
Xiao Zhi's mouth curved into a slight smile, and he shouted, "Pikachu, use Quick Attack to charge up and make it trip!"
Mr. Mime's legs were incredibly slender; it looked like it would be easy to trip.
Pikachu stopped its Thunderbolt, and before the opponent could react, it rushed to its feet with lightning speed and vigorously swung its tail at Mr. Mime's legs.
"Bari!" (So fast!)
Mr. Mime had just moved its Thunderbolt to another spot and hadn't noticed Pikachu's departure; its speed was already too fast to be caught by the naked eye.
By the time Mr. Mime reacted, Pikachu had already extended its tail and launched an attack towards it.
Suddenly, Mr. Mime lost its balance and fell to the ground.
Xiao Zhi smiled triumphantly and said to Pikachu, "That's great! We succeeded! Now, while it's down, seize the opportunity to deliver the final blow, Iron Tail!"
Pikachu approached the fallen Mr. Mime.
Its tail glowed with a metallic sheen, and with a swing of its tail, Iron Tail fiercely struck Mr. Mime.
The powerful force caused Mr. Mime to be violently sent flying, landing heavily on the ground in the distance.
As it fell, dust flew up, temporarily obscuring Mr. Mime's condition from those around.
A muffled thud came from Mr. Mime's location, and it lay motionless on the ground.
Seeing this, Sabrina shook her head and recalled Mr. Mime, whose eyes had turned into circles.
Immediately after, she took out another poké ball and then threw it onto the field...
