On one hand, it had to withstand the recoil from the Wave Crash, and on the other, endure the pressure of Hydro Pump. Only a tough-skinned turtle like Blastoise could manage; any other Pokemon probably would have fallen by now.
"Blastoise! Don't give up, break through it! Use Rapid Spin!!" Seeing that Blastoise was in a stalemate with the Hydro Pump, Gary was anxious. In this dire situation, he thought of using Rapid Spin to break through!
His Blastoise had already mastered combining moves, but it hadn't learned Wave Crash for long. Gary wasn't sure if it could successfully combine it with Rapid Spin.
But now, he had no choice but to try!
"Blastoise!" The Blastoise, enveloped in water, roared. Its huge foot stomped fiercely, and its whole body spun like a drill!
The water instantly turned into a spinning water drill, forcibly tearing open a gap in the Torrent! Blastoise's body, like a giant blue top with sharp water blades, charged straight toward Mewtwo's Blastoise.
"Boom!!"
A violent rumbling resounded throughout the arena, and a thick cloud of white smoke rose from the center, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
Ash stood on the edge of the field, looking intently at the smoke, then sighed helplessly: "What a pity, Gary worked so hard."
"Lost, huh?" Brock asked casually, knowing Ash's abilities.
"Yeah." Ash nodded.
As if to confirm Ash's words, the thick smoke on the field began to slowly dissipate, revealing the scene within.
Mewtwo's Blastoise had a crack in the patterned shell, and its face showed a hint of pain, but Gary's Blastoise had already fallen before it and had reverted from its MEGA Evolution form.
Lost.
Gary clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, and showed a look of unwillingness.
The all-out strike only managed to damage a part of the opponent's shell, showing that the gap to top trainers was still too large. However, Gary immediately recalled Blastoise into his Pokeball, his expression softening as he said, "You did your best."
Gary's actions made Mewtwo glance slightly, her eyes trembled slightly, but soon returned to normal.
There might indeed be some special individuals among humans, but they are very few. The world is still sick, and Mewtwo's ideas remain unchanged.
"It's my turn next." Ash walked up to Gary, patting him on the shoulder.
"Though I'm not satisfied, it seems like it's up to you now. Good luck, make sure you don't lose all three matches." Gary took a deep breath, his expression serious and solemn as he said to Ash.
"Don't worry, we'll win." Ash gave a thumbs-up to Gary, then waved his hand as Charizard soared from behind him, landing heavily in front of Ash.
"Come on, Mewtwo, the third match. You want to battle as a human Trainer, right? So let's fight according to the normal competition rules."
Mewtwo: ?
Facing Mewtwo's puzzled gaze, Ash continued slowly, "You used three Pokemon to battle, I sent three people, but the number of Pokemon we use is the same, so it's a three-on-three, just that our Trainers vary."
"So... you can still use three Pokemon, and on our side, there's only my last Pokemon left, do you understand what I mean?"
'You mean to fight my three Pokemon with just that Charizard?' Though Ash's words weren't very clear, Mewtwo's intellect understood that Ash intended to use Charizard against her three Pokemon.
"Who is this guy? Isn't he too arrogant? Whether it's that boy who can Mega Evolve Blastoise or my Venusaur, they've all lost. And now he wants to take on all three?" Corey said, utterly bewildered.
Mewtwo's three Pokemon were obviously of an elite level, certainly not something an average person could defeat.
Corey prided himself on being a fairly skilled Trainer, having Pokemon of professional level at his age was rare, and Gary was even more talented. But against Mewtwo's Pokemon, both of them were utterly powerless.
His Venusaur didn't even touch Mewtwo's Venusaur, and Gary's Blastoise only managed a minor injury; the damage was insignificant.
Yet this new kid brazenly claimed he'd challenge all three of those Pokemon? Isn't that far too arrogant!
"You know Lorelei but not Ash?" Gary looked at Corey strangely.
"Ash? The name sounds familiar..."
"Wait, Ash!! I remember, wasn't he the one who had a public match with Lorelei recently? During that match, Ash used a Charizard!!" Sweet slapped her palm, looking at Ash with surprise.
Upon Sweet's remark, Corey and Fergus suddenly remembered. Not half a month ago, Lorelei did have a public match, and her opponent was a very young Trainer named Ash!
Not only that, but Ash also had other remarkable achievements, including defeating the Elite Four candidate, Koga!
