46. Scyther

"Brother, look, it's a Scyther!"

Molly immediately covered her mouth and said meekly. Her sudden voice just some time ago attracted a bunch of Beedrills. She didn't want to disturb these Scythers anymore with her sudden entrance.

"It's Scyther, the strongest hitter of the team is about to appear." Molly held her breath and said nothing, but in a blink of an eye, a voice came from the other side of the jungle.

"The most powerful opponent appears!" This is Casey's voice, and you can hear her emotions are very high. "Use the fastest and strongest fastball on the first ball to give the opponent a powerful blow!"

"Go ahead, Razor Leaf!"

Ash quietly moved over with Molly, and saw Casey commanding Chikorita to use Razor Leaf to attack an outside Scyther.

This Scyther is smaller than the usual size and its eyes don't look that sharp. No wonder it is on the periphery of the group.

But even this Scyther is definitely not something that Casey and Chikorita can fight at their current level!

What's more, it can be seen from the outside that her Chikorita is in very bad condition now!

Razor Leaf hit Scyther very smoothly, but Grass type move were not very effective against Scyther or against any Bug or Flying type.

But Casey was very excited, "Good shot, Chikorita!"

She didn't notice that Chikorita was now panting and tired. Unlike Ash and the others who went head-on but not against everyone, Casey brought Chikorita to fight all the way. She even specially asked Chikorita to use Tackle one the tree trunks to attract the attentions of the Bug Pokémon's.

Scyther became angry after being attacked, crossed his scythes, and attacked Chikorita head on.

Seeing this scene, Casey shouted, "Chikorita, don't be afraid. If you are afraid, you will lose!"

However, the exhausted Chikorita was instantly knocked away by Scyther. The Bug types attack was extremely effective against her!

"Chikorita, come on! You're just out of the game, show your fighting spirit!" After hearing Casey's words, Chikorita stood up again.

"Second ball, hit the ball right in the center, Razor Leaf!"

The second Razor Leaf had no power or accuracy. Scyther swung his double scythes, there was a green energy covering all the flying slashes, and with the flying slashes hit Chikorita!

"It's hitting the pitcher, hurry up and avoid it!" Casey also exclaimed at this time.

But at this time, Chikorita no longer had the physical strength to move, and was knocked away by the Scythers attack.

"Brother, that Chikorita is too tired to move!" Molly said softly to Ash while watching the battle from further away.

Yes, even Molly can see the fact, why doesn't Casey notice it! Even the previous Ash would have seen it.

Chikorita was knocked down not far from Ash. He walked over and gently picked up Chikorita, "That's it!"

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"

Pikachu's Thunderbolt easily defeated the Scyther, and it returned to the group with its body burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

Ash ignored it and came to Casey with Chikorita in his arms.

"Ash, what are you doing?" Casey's battle was interrupted. Of course, she was unhappy and glared at Ash angrily.

Ash has grown a lot in height now. He was originally less than half a head shorter than Misty, but now he is almost as tall as her.

Casey could only raise her head and neck to glare at the taller Ash.

Ash stretched out his finger and poked her forehead, "Take a good look at Chikorita!"

He sent Chikorita back to Casey's arms. Just now, Casey asked Chikorita to follow her so that she could start fighting at any time.

At this time, holding Chikorita in her arms, Casey felt that something was wrong with Chikorita!

"Chikorita, why are you breathing so hard? Are you ok, Chikorita?"

Ignoring what Casey could comprehend, Ash turned around and carried Molly behind him again.

"Standard operation, hit the small one and the big one will come out!"

Ash smiled confidently and took Pikachu back to the depths of the jungle.

In that direction, three huge Scythers were also coming towards them.

When the two parties met, even Entei's daughter was frightened and grabbed Ash's pant tightly.

The Scyther in the middle is 1.8 meters tall and extremely strong, with a cold light flashing on both of his scythes. Even the two Scythers next to it are very powerful, much stronger than the one that he just beat up. The three Scythers standing together seem to be blowing sharp winds.

However, Ash pointed the Park Ball at the strongest one in the middle, "Scyther, let's battle, if I win you will come with me and if I lose, your choice!"

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu's cheeks sparkled with lightning, full of fighting intent!

The Scyther accepted the challenge he bestowed. He turned around and called the two Scythers behind him a few times, then walked towards Ash and Pikachu with his two scythes ready for the battle!

"Come on Pikachu!"

Molly put her chin on Ash's head and found a comfortable position to watch the upcoming battle.

Facing the Bug type and Flying type Scyther, Pikachu has a type advantage.

Moreover, although Scyther's blade-like wings allow it to fly, it is rare to actually see Scyther flying in the air because the wings are both quite weak and frail.

"Pikachu, Quick Attack!"

After receiving the order, Pikachu suddenly appeared in front of Scyther.

Scyther's reaction was also very fast. At that moment, he crossed his hands and blocked Pikachu's Quick Attack.

The next attack, like showing why he is the leader, comes towards Pikachu with full force. This Scyther's combat awareness is terrifyingly high, and it will launch lightning-fast attacks when it seizes the opportunity. His time in the wild must have made him more aware of his opponents and use full force from the very beginning.

"Iron Tail!"

Shining with a metallic tone, Pikachu's tail collided with Scyther's blades, and Pikachu was launched into the air by the force and so was Scyther.

Scyther quickly adjusted his body and was about to catch up when Ash's order was issued in an instant.

"Thunderbolt!"

Now Pikachu is a true warrior, very reliable in both long-range and close combat!

The galloping thunder was barely avoided by Scyther. After the two collided again, Pikachu landed smoothly and regained his strength.

"It's a very good one at that!" Ash was extremely satisfied with this Scyther!

It will become a powerful Scizor under him!

"Come on Pikachu!"

Molly cheered on top of Ash's head, cheering for Pikachu to win it.

As soon as she finished speaking, Scyther's figure suddenly disappeared in front of everyone!

"Agility!" Ash commented seeing Scyther using this move.

Ash frowned and his whole body flashed with blue light, "Pikachu, left, Iron Tail!"

Pikachu didn't hesitate at all, Iron Tail struck towards his left side almost subconsciously!

Ding!

Sure enough, it was the sound of two heavy objects clashing. Scyther's figure paused at that position, and another one of his scythe was about to strike at Pikachu from the front!

Pikachu, only has one tail so he can't block that!

"Thunderbolt, again!"

Pikachu was knocked away and bounced up on the ground. Before Scyther had time to react, thunder had already arrived and he has all toasted and charred!

"Go, Park Ball!"

The Park Ball seems to be particularly effective against Bug type Pokémon, and Scyther was subdued in one go.

"Great, we got a Scyther!"

Molly cheered, stealing Ash and Pikachu's original way of celebrating a new catch.

This Scyther leader was obviously enough for Ash to win the Bug Catching Contest. Not only did he get the Scyther, but he also got a half-year cheese, of all things.

Cheese made from milk from a Miltank is a good thing, and it's perfect for his and the groups diet.

Pikachu: 230/255
