"Strange, why isn't this guy giving his Pikachu any orders?!"
Seeing that Rhydon was getting close to Pikachu, why was this Ye Feng still not giving the command?
Could it be that he was too scared to speak?
Temporarily lost the ability to think?
"As expected, a rookie trainer? It seems I'll have to set some entry requirements outside the gym in the future, otherwise, if any Tom, Dick, or Harry comes to challenge me, wouldn't it be a waste of my time?"
He had just thought this.
When he saw that Pikachu suddenly make a move on its own.
The small body flashed with golden light, and a powerful Electric-type move was unleashed.
"That's Thunderbolt!!!!"
"Rhydon, charge directly at it."
Giovanni continued to command.
Rhydon could withstand this move without any problems.
After all, the type advantage was there.
But what surprised Giovanni was.
He saw that the powerful Thunderbolt hit Rhydon, and Rhydon let out an extremely painful cry.
Then, it directly fell to the ground, unconscious, and lost the battle.
"Huh?!"
"What the heck?!"
Giovanni stood up from his chair in shock. He looked at the scene below, disbelieving.
"What's going on? One Thunderbolt, and my Rhydon actually..."
Giovanni felt like he was seeing things?
Was he dreaming???
His Rhydon lost just like that?!
Brother, even if you had an advantage over me, you shouldn't be able to knock me out in one move, right?
Let alone, I have the advantage over you?!
Compared to Giovanni's shock, Ye Feng's Pikachu looked calm, as if all of this was perfectly reasonable.
Giovanni recalled Rhydon. Thus, he finally dared not underestimate this person.
"Come out! Nidoqueen!"
Another dinosaur-like Pokémon.
A purple exterior, a ferocious expression.
It was also Ground-type, but Rock-type was replaced by Poison-type.
Giovanni watched Ye Feng remain silent.
He then said, "Nidoqueen! Use Earthquake!!!"
Giovanni had learned his lesson this time. He stood far away, so he could dodge even Thunderbolt if necessary.
He would directly teach you a lesson with an Earthquake.
But in the next second, something strange happened again.
That Pikachu, without receiving any command from its trainer.
First, it teleported in front of Nidoqueen, and then he saw Pikachu's small fist unleash a powerful force!
A Mega Punch hit Nidoqueen's belly just before it could use Earthquake.
With just one move, it was knocked unconscious and lost the battle.
"This?!"
"Is this even a Pikachu?!"
Giovanni slammed his hands onto the railing on the second floor.
His eyes widened.
He stared intently at the Pikachu with red stripes below.
Where was this a Pikachu?
It was simply a Super Saiyan.
Giovanni had been in the martial world for so long, he had never seen such an outrageous thing!
But outrageous or not, he had seen it.
"Return, Nidoqueen."
Giovanni recalled Nidoqueen.
At the same time, his gaze met Ye Feng's.
Ye Feng stood with his arms crossed, a smile always on his face.
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Giovanni's forehead.
Good heavens.
Even the Elite Four of the Kanto region couldn't put this much pressure on him.
Who was this young man?!
"Last battle, it's you!"
Giovanni threw out a Poké Ball.
A Beedrill appeared on the field.
When this Beedrill came out, it looked around as if it hadn't been out for fresh air in a long time.
Upon seeing this Beedrill.
Ye Feng's eyes finally showed a hint of change.
"Finally using this Pokémon?"
Ye Feng smiled slightly.
The Beedrill species, to be honest, was weak.
Very weak.
For a Pokémon species, its base stats basically determined everything.
But Giovanni's Beedrill was not like that. This was the charm that anime had over games.
In games, data was data. No matter how hard you tried, Beedrill would always be Beedrill.
But in anime, it was reality.
As long as you worked hard, even a pig could be trained into a wild boar that bites.
Giovanni's Beedrill was like this.
It was also his first Pokémon.
He had trained it since it was young, and it had the deepest bond with Giovanni.
His Beedrill could defeat Lance's Dragonite, the strongest of the Kanto Elite Four, can you believe it?
However, even if Rayquaza were here, Ye Feng wouldn't care.
Just Giovanni's Beedrill.
"Beedrill."
Looking at his first Pokémon.
Giovanni couldn't help but recall his youth.
How beautiful it was then? It's a pity it can't go back.
If Ye Feng wasn't so outrageously strong, he wouldn't have gone all out and summoned his ace, Beedrill.
"Next, Beedrill, use Swords Dance!!!"
Beedrill heard Giovanni's command and used Swords Dance, shaking its whole body and greatly boosting its Attack. It seemed Giovanni knew that to deal with that Pikachu, he needed to strike a decisive blow and not give it any chances.
"Pikachu, enough playing, finish it off!"
"Use Flamethrower!!!"
Boom!
A terrifying flame erupted from Pikachu's mouth, shooting towards Beedrill.
"What? Flamethrower?!"
Seeing this move, Giovanni's jaw almost dropped.
A Pikachu that knows Flamethrower?
How did it learn it?
But as the title of "Giovanni of the Ground" suggests, he immediately made a decision.
"Beedrill! Dodge quickly!!!"
Beedrill received the command and immediately dodged the move. Who would have thought that the next second, a cold beam of light was rapidly approaching?
"That's! Ice Beam?!"
Seeing this move, Giovanni was already on the verge of cursing.
"What the heck?!"
But still.
"Dodge quickly!"
Beedrill, relying on its speed advantage, dodged again. But after this, Giovanni realized that the Ice Beam had filled the entire battlefield with icicles, trapping Beedrill's movement range.
"There's no other way, Beedrill, use Brick Break!!!"
Giovanni decided to go head-to-head with Pikachu.
"Pikachu, since it wants to go head-to-head, use Iron Tail to send it away."
"Pika pi!"
The red-striped Pikachu's tail glowed and hardened.
Its tail slammed fiercely into Beedrill's stingers.
At first, it was an even match, but the next second.
Beedrill couldn't compete and was hit hard by Iron Tail, being flung against the wall with a loud crash.
It immediately lost the battle.
When all of this happened.
Giovanni felt like he was still dreaming.
Because this was not reasonable!
It was outrageously too strong!!!
It was ridiculously out of line!!
This was his ace!!
A Pokémon with absolute Champion-level strength!!!
At this moment, Giovanni even wanted to use his secret weapon, Mewtwo.
But thinking that three rounds were over and he had lost.
He tossed the green badge from his pocket into Ye Feng's hand.
Immediately, a surge of energy erupted from his hand and flew into Beedrill's unconscious body.
Beedrill, which was originally unconscious, slowly woke up, and its injuries also began to heal.
Then, Giovanni recalled Beedrill into its Poké Ball.
"This is the first time I've lost so wholeheartedly since I became the Viridian City Gym Leader, no, ever since I started being a Pokémon trainer."
Giovanni was not discouraged by his loss.
He stared at the young Ye Feng below.
And said, "Your Pikachu is very special, it knows Fire and Ice-type moves."
"And you're not a rookie trainer, are you? Did you come to Kanto from another region?"
Giovanni would never believe that this was a rookie trainer.
No matter how strong a rookie trainer was, they couldn't be this strong.
This was unbelievably strong.
It was definitely of Super Champion level.
