【Rocket Team】 right?
【Wait, who’s Kiana again?】
【I’ve been following this show since the first episode, I’m sure this character hasn’t appeared yet】
【Another foreshadowing, right? The Dragonite Master’s plot hasn’t been resolved yet】
【Is that Sea Star using Ice? Another new element pops up】
【Damn, this is an NBA team! You weird folks, get out of here！】
【Just you wait! One day, I’ll drive all of you out, not a single one left!】
…
Su Yi Huan likes to use foreshadowing, which has become commonplace for old fans who have been following the show since the summer.
Earlier, Gary casually asked Ash “How long has Pikachu been with you”, both Ash in the show and the audience off-screen didn’t think much of it.
Then the next episode, a new setting was introduced: “Gym leaders won’t use their full power against challengers”.
And last episode, another character emerged: “Dragonite Master”.
But just when fans were excited to see what kind of person this alleged first character who dared to kill in the Pokémon world was,
the latest episode completely ignored the character.
Now, the Dragonite Master’s plot isn’t resolved yet.
And now, Kiana pops up.
Can you keep up with all these plots?
…
But the viewers had no time to think about it.
Because on screen, Bulbasaur was already at a disadvantage.
Its deep blue skin was covered with a thin layer of frost, and it moved with a noticeable lag.
“Ice-type moves are strong against Grass-type, and Water-type Pokémon are often good at using Ice-type moves, just like Rock-type Pokémon are good at Ground-type moves, so Water-type isn’t particularly disadvantaged against Grass-type.”
Since Gary joined the team, he replaced Misty as the new “commentator”.
Plop～
As soon as Gary finished speaking, Sea Star jumped back into the water field.
Ash didn’t have any other solutions for now, he could only let Bulbasaur use its vines like a pole vault to get back up.
To expand its field of vision and search for Sea Star’s position.
But Bulbasaur, with frost on its legs, was indeed much slower than before.
“Once hit by Ice Wind, the body will be covered in frost, and the speed will be reduced.”
Gary reminded Ash again, while giving a supplementary explanation to the audience.
“Ice Wind!”
Misty commanded once again.
This time, Sea Star jumped out from Bulbasaur’s right rear.
Once again, it used the Ice-type move that was effective against Grass.
“Ga…na…”
After taking two consecutive hits of moves that were effective against it, Bulbasaur, which wasn’t a defensive Pokémon, couldn’t hold on any longer.
Its eyes went black, and it fell.
Misty, standing opposite, put one hand on her waist, a confident smile on her lips.
We’ve traveled together for a few days, you really think you’re at the same level as me?
Ash, who had withdrawn Bulbasaur, fell into a brief dilemma.
Who to send next?
Squirtle, who also uses Water?
It can’t be Charmander, who’s completely countered.
After a brief contemplation, Ash knelt down.
“Pikachu, this time, it really depends on you.”
“Pika, Pika!”
This time, Pikachu didn’t refuse.
It also realized that Misty, who had been traveling with them, was very strong.
Its previous thought was too naive.
“Electric-type isn’t countered by Ice-type.”
Seeing Pikachu come on stage, Gary commented.
But before the audience could be happy, Gary’s tone changed again, “But…”
As Gary said, Sea Star had no way to deal with Pikachu.
Moreover, the Water battle field would conduct electricity.
Even if Sea Star hid in the water, it wouldn’t be useful.
Two Thunderbolts took out Sea Star.
However, Misty’s expression didn’t show any anxiety, tension, or any negative emotions.
This made Ash and the kids in front of the TV unable to be happy.
“Go, Goldeen!”
Misty sent out her second Pokémon, Goldeen.
Just like Sea Star, it was also a Pokémon that Misty often used to battle the Rocket Team.
Ash knew it very well. Its strength was just like that.
“Pikachu! Go!”
On the Water field, Pikachu didn’t even need to aim deliberately. The conductive pool would automatically help it track its target.
The bar friends on the forum frowned and stared intently at the screen.
It felt like the Water field was completely convenient for Electric-type Pokémon to attack themselves. As the Water-type Gym Leader, Misty shouldn’t have overlooked this, right?
The camera focused on the water droplets.
The electric sparks, using the pool as a pathway, attacked Goldeen from both sides.
But unlike Sea Star earlier.
Goldeen, also a pure Water-type, remained completely unfazed after being enveloped by the electric current.
Instead, it seemed to be getting stronger, charging straight towards Pikachu on the platform above the water.
Horn Attack!
Watching Pikachu being thrown high in the air, and Goldeen remaining calm.
Ash and Pokémon fans all over the country were stunned.
Seeing Goldeen’s spirited expression, as if it was saying “You can try again”,
Old fans who had been following the show for a month doubted if they had remembered the attribute list wrong.
Isn’t it Ground-type, not Water-type, that’s immune to Electric?
At this time, Misty kindly explained:
“Do you think, as a Water-type trainer, I wouldn’t have a countermeasure against Electric?”
“Goldeen’s ability, Lightning Rod, converts all electricity into its own power, and it can also increase its Special Attack!”
