Chapter 45: Pikachu VS Eevee
(First update, new book seeking collection, seeking flowers! Thanks to "13***661" boss for the reward!)
“Eevee!!!”
At this moment, Eevee, seeing Pikachu charging towards it, also charged forward. Both jumped at each other, a metallic sheen radiating from Eevee's tail.
And at this time, Pikachu, following Ash's command, jumped and lunged towards Eevee.
Misty on the side was a little worried, as Ash's training with Pikachu hadn't been completed yet. She was afraid that Pikachu would fail if Ash made it use a move now.
Pi~~~ka~~~!!
As Pikachu and Eevee approached each other in the air, a lightning-shaped tail also emitted a metallic luster. The tail, as if wrapped in iron, emanated a silver glow.
“Go for it!!” Even though it had been a string of failures, at this moment, Ash felt a strong sense that this time, he would succeed. He shouted to Pikachu.
Bang!! Boom!!!!
Eevee and Pikachu's tails collided. The hard tails clashed, creating sparks, and at the same time, powerful air currents constantly spread from the point of contact. Even Ash and the others standing far away could feel it.
“Good!! So strong!” The young warrior not far away watched this scene in astonishment. He couldn't help but swallow, judging by this, Ash hadn't even gone all out in his sparring with him!
Bang! Bang!! Bang Bang!!!
The two Pokémon kept launching attacks, their tails continuously colliding in mid-air. After landing, they'd continue jumping. With the continuous collisions, sparks kept flying, still with neither gaining an advantage.
Bang Boom!!!!
After several consecutive exchanges, the final, all-out collision sent both flying back. They landed on the ground, lying prone, their eyes still fixed on each other, full of fighting spirit. They both gasped for breath.
“PikaPika!!”
“EeveeEevee!!”
Eevee!!!
As if knowing that Iron Tail couldn't determine the victor, Eevee didn't attack directly, but rushed towards Pikachu, then leaped into the air before suddenly charging towards the ground.
Bang!!!
Only a puff of smoke instantly spread as Eevee crashed into the ground. When the dust settled, a hole had suddenly appeared in the ground, and Eevee's figure was nowhere to be seen.
“Ah! It's gone!!” Misty exclaimed in surprise.
“It knows Dig too? Interesting! Pikachu, be careful!” Seeing this, Ash was also a little surprised. He hadn't just learned Iron Tail from watching him and Pikachu train, it knew Dig as well.
“Pika!” Listening to Ash, Pikachu lay on the ground, its ears perked up, carefully listening for Eevee's movements.
CackCackCack Bang!!!
Just then, the ground beneath Pikachu's feet suddenly cracked open, a massive force sending Eevee crashing into Pikachu. “Pika!!!”
Pikachu was hit by Eevee emerging from the ground, its entire body flying through the air uncontrollably. Then, it fell from the sky, bouncing a few times on the ground before managing to rise to its feet, looking at Eevee with defiance.
Ash furrowed his brow slightly. Dig, a Ground-type move, was super effective against Pikachu.
“Eevee!!” Seizing the opportunity, Eevee used Dig again to burrow into the ground, attempting to repeat the trick. Seeing this, Pikachu hurriedly paced back and forth, watching the ground.
Ash knew that Pikachu probably couldn't withstand another Dig attack.
“Pikachu, don't panic, use Iron Tail on the ground!” Ash looked at the slightly panicked Pikachu and immediately gave it an order. Pikachu had complete trust in Ash and, upon hearing the command, jumped without hesitation.
“Pi~~~ka!!!!!!!!”
Pikachu leaped into the air, its tail emitting a glow. It spun in mid-air, swinging its tail, slamming it hard against the ground.
Bang!! Boom Boom Boom!!!
The ground roared, a powerful air current spreading. The power of Iron Tail smashed through the ground, the entire ground instantly cracking open, countless rocks flying outwards.
“Eevee!!!” Eevee let out a cry of pain, flying out from underground with the shattered rocks.
“Now, Pikachu! Use your final Iron Tail!”
“Pika! PikaPikaPika~~Ka!!” Pikachu jumped, using the flying rocks as stepping stones to leap back and forth, directly jumping in front of Eevee.
Bang!!!
The final strike. Iron Tail slammed heavily into Eevee, the immense force sending it flying backwards. It flew several meters away, landing on the ground, rolling a few times along the ground, leaving a long trail of dust.
“PikaPikaPika!!” Pikachu landed and gasped for breath.
“Eevee…Eevee~~~” Eevee landed, looked ahead, closed one eye, and managed to get up, its body trembling slightly.
A stubborn expression of defiance appeared on its face, its four legs shaking slightly, it gritted its teeth and held on as if it were still going to fight. Pikachu also had a look of fatigue on its face, but it still stared ahead with determination.
“Eevee~~~”
Finally, after staring at each other for a moment, Eevee's expression suddenly relaxed, and then its body collapsed, falling to the ground, gasping for breath.
Seeing this, Ash also breathed a sigh of relief, walked over, and squatted down beside Pikachu.
“Good job, Pikachu!” He gently stroked Pikachu's head. The day's harvest was truly great.
Not only had it defeated Eevee, but it had also successfully learned Iron Tail. Caterpie, in this one day, had directly evolved into Butterfree. With this, he wouldn't be afraid of going to Viridian City.
“Pika!!” Pikachu seemed happy to have learned a new move, especially since it had just defeated an opponent after learning it.
“Ash, Pikachu, are you okay?!” Misty also came to their side and asked with concern. Pidgeotto and Butterfree also flew down from the sky and landed beside Ash.
“We're fine, don't worry.” Ash simply responded.
“It looks like Pikachu needs to rest. How about going to my place? Otherwise, if the Beedrill wake up, it will be dangerous.” Seeing this, the young warrior also came over. He glanced around and suggested.
“Okay, thank you!” Ash didn't refuse, Pikachu was also injured and needed treatment.
“Wait!” Getting up, Ash glanced over, walked to where Eevee was now lying motionless, and picked it up. Seeing Ash's actions, the young warrior's evaluation of Ash increased even more.
