193. The Last Stand
This is an extra chapter because I missed yesterdays one, hope you like it.
————————————————————
"Feraligatr loses the ability to fight, Houndoom wins this round!"
Harrison's Houndoom was actually able to use Counter, which was really beyond Ash's expectation. Unexpectedly, Harrison was still thinking of ways to fight back after it had reached this point.
At this moment, there are only two Pokémon left that Harrison can use, this already injured Houndoom and the last one must be his Trump Card Blaziken, which are his two strongest Pokémon's before his Steelix.
And Ash so far has only lost two of his Pokémon so far, and there are even three most likely stronger Pokémon that have not appeared in his team!
The situation is very much leaning towards the side of Ash. After comparison, it is obvious that Harrison's Houndoom is much different from the Pokémon's he sent out in the previous rounds.
"Ash, I never thought that I need to use such petty tricks and cleverness to fight against you. It's really great to be able to fight against you without holding back!" Harrison was now convinced by Ash at this moment. Only when he really fights with everything can he really feel this good, to feel the powerful strength Ash commands at his fingertips.
His power does not lie in the level of the Pokémon itself, but in the battle, all Pokémon trust Ash wholeheartedly without a single doubt!
"This is my fourth one!" Ash took out the Poké Ball he held in his palm, "Get ready to for a speedy lose, Scizor!"
Scizor's appearance caused an uproar in the entire venue!
"The fourth Pokémon sent by Trainer Ash turned out to be Scizor. Is he trying to do something with this Houndoom right now?
As we all know, or at least I hope we do, Scizor's main weakness is the Fire-type!
But now facing Harrison's Houndoom, he actually sent out his Scizor who is very weak against Houndoom!
Perhaps only Brock and Misty, who were traveling together with him, could understand Ash's thoughts, "Ash is definitely testing his Scizor!"
"Brother Brock, what is this test?" This is the first time Molly has heard of this test thing!
"Scizor has just returned from Pokémon Ninja Academy and all we heard was that he had learned many secrets. Ash can be said to have locked on the battle now. He wants to take this opportunity to review Scizor's power and see what he missed!"
There's no better candidate for a test like this than a string Fire-type rival like Houndoom!
Ash and his team met a Trainer who used Skarmory, who was looking for Fire-type opponent to fight against a long time ago.
"Scizor, let me see your new power!" Ash smiled softly and saw Scizor covering his left hand with the giant pincer in his right hand, staring at Houndoom with his bright golden eyes.
"Scizor sci!" Which roughly translates to, "Alright my lord!"
"Houndoom, Flamethrower!" Harrison launched the first attack!
However, Ash did not issue any orders directly, he commanded Scizor with his Psychic to see if it would work, and Scizor finally moved at that critical moment marimba that it did!
There was only a single metallic voice, and everyone could only see a red flash passing by. Scizor's voice and shadow then suddenly appeared behind Houndoom.
It gently took back its right hand covering the left side, and then slowly straightened up!
"Did he really learn this?"
Ash suddenly murmured this, and when everyone behind him was confused, Houndoom fell to the ground with a loud sound!
The referee was also confused, but after careful inspection, he immediately announced, "Houndoom has lost the ability to fight, Scizor wins this round!"
"He fell down. What happened just now was too fast for me to react. Let's check the slow motion of the scene!" The commentator was confused again. This is the first time in the Silver Conference that he has asked for slow motion playback!
At that moment, Houndoom's Flamethrower was gradually attacking Scizor, but Scizor remained indifferent to it!
The moment Flamethrower came closer, Scizor suddenly raised his head, turned into a red flash and avoided Flamethrower. A flash of sword light flashed by, and Scizor used the Slash skill on Houndoom!
This is a move that has been practiced by Scizor thousands of times under both Ash before he left and by the old Principal. It can be said that without the numerous times of practice, it is absolutely impossible to reach the level it is today. This shows j how much effort Scizor's had put in the Academy!
Houndoom couldn't even see the sword light, let alone use a move like Counter to deflect it.
"Trainer Ash's Scizor is really too awesome, and now Trainer Harrison has only his last Pokémon left!"
Already forced into such a desperate situation, Harrison's mood seemed to be getting higher and higher, "Ash, you are really amazing. I haven't had such a fulfilling battle in like never!"
"I will show you my full strength with my strongest Pokémon, go, Blaziken!"
This Blaziken was very handsome that even Ash couldn't help but want for himself. Next time he goes to the Hoenn Region, he will make sure to catch one for himself!
"Scizor, this Blaziken is not an easy opponent by any means!" Ash reminded Scizor and gave out an order, "Sword Dance!"
The fierce sword energy burst out from Scizor's body, and Scizor further increased his attack power by a further two stages!
"Blaziken, Quick Attack!" Harrison has already detected Scizor's power increase just now, this is a skill that will take a little time to be in effect, so he decisively let his Blaziken start a lightning fast attack!
However, Ash's Scizor is a Pokémon that will hardly ever lose in terms of speed, "Scizor, Bullet Punch!"
It's time to compare speed and priority!
Scizor turned into red flash once again, leaving a beautiful arc on the grass field, came to the side of Blaziken, and struck hard with a shining metallic punch!
"Blaziken, hold on, Fire Punch!"
Harrison gritted his teeth, Blaziken received the punch from the side, and then Blaziken's flaming fist managed to hit Scizor!
It had an outstanding effect!
What a fight this was!
Harrison became more and more ruthless. He wanted to at least defeat this Scizor before anything else. Fire-type attack had an outstanding effect on Scizor. He thought he would definitely win if he kept going like this!
But how could Ash and Scizor give him such a chance again?
"Blaziken, use Blaze Kick!"
"Ninja Art - Razor Wind!"
The attack that Ash called out made all the audience stunned for a moment, and then they all cheered ever more loudly. They didn't expect that such a powerful young man could have such side to him, most of them even forgot that he was only 16 years old.
Delia even clicked the shutter wildly, "Ah, my son is so cute!"
However, this is indeed a skill that has become more skillful after being trained at the Ninja Academy!
Scizor quickly retreated, avoiding Blaziken's Blaze Kick, waving his pair of huge pincers wildly, countless wind ninjas flew into the air!
The Razor Wind skill is a skill that first creates numerous wind blade and then attacks the opponent. It is easy to hit the vital points with this many blades!
"Damn!" Harrison immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly ordered his Blaziken, "Blaziken, get out of the hit range!"
However, it was not so easy to avoid. A large number of wind blades such fell from the sky from many angles, immediately injuring Blaziken by a lot!
For a moment, everyone present was stunned by the power of this move!
"It happened, Scizor's Razor blades hit Blaziken, and Blaziken is now severely damaged!"
"Damn it, Blaziken, cheer up and set the entire grass field on fire!" Harrison suddenly had a flash of inspiration, looked at the green grass field in front of him, and secretly said sorry to them!
Blaziken immediately erupted flames from everywhere, the flames spurted out high, drying up the grass in the grass field, and then ignited the grass field into flames. It went from a beautiful green field to a sea full of flames!
"Oh my god, the grass field is on fire, Scizor can't move now!" The commentator became more and more excited. This game was really too exciting for him, maybe he should retire soon. Even at such a large disadvantage, Harrison still didn't gave up.
Seeing this scene, Ash couldn't help but have a frown on his face. He didn't expect Harrison would do such a thing like this right now!
"Come back, Scizor!" Ash took his Scizor back, "Let's stop here for now, you passed your test!"
There was no need for Scizor to be injured because of his own pride. He looked up at Harrison and said, "Harrison, the battle is over for you!"
