Chapter 94 Xia Mu: I was just saying it casually, everyone took it seriously!
"Quick Attack!!!"
With a shout from Corey, Pidgeot let out a sharp cry.
Completely different from Pikachu's Quick Attack, Pidgeot truly transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting straight out.
Its speed was extreme, too fast for the naked eye to follow, and there wasn't even time to give a command.
The battle arena in the gym wasn't as large as a league-level arena, and it was an indoor battle arena, so the area was very limited.
If it were larger, Xia Mu would have had time to react, but now he was indeed on the defensive and caught off guard.
Quick Attack successfully hit Charizard, causing Charizard to let out a painful roar.
Clearly, Corey was also avenging Ash.
Just now, Xia Mu used Charizard's ability to fly to prevent Pikachu from launching ground attacks, forcing it to continuously use ranged attacks.
Now that Corey has landed a Quick Attack, he's also telling Ash that his Pikachu can't fly, which is why it was in such a sorry state earlier.
[This kid is quite the mentor, and with that kind of skill, no wonder he made it to the finals of last year's Indigo League. I wonder what kind of person the last champion, Arlong, really is, that he could overpower him.] Xia Mu couldn't help but admire him.
He immediately became serious, because Corey gave another order.
"Now! Pidgeot, Aerial Ace!!"
Aerial Ace is indeed a very difficult move to deal with and counter.
The most crucial thing is its guaranteed hit, which hasn't changed even in the anime world; in fact, it's become even more unpredictable.
This is the first time Xia Mu has encountered this move in the real world, but he has a clear memory of how familiar he is with it.
In the anime, there are many ways to counter it.
The most straightforward way is to trade blows, a head-on attack!
"I think I know your tactics now. Since you want to fight this kind of war of attrition, then I'll defy your wishes! Charizard, charge in, Giga Impact!!" There was no mercy, no intention of playing around.
Corey was indeed skilled; Pidgeot was also a tough opponent.
However, this tactic was also easy to counter.
Even though Charizard wasn't a physical attacker, the power of Giga Impact was still considerable.
How could Aerial Ace compare?
Moreover, the level difference meant that even Charizard would suffer a backlash, temporarily losing mobility, but Pidgeot would definitely suffer greater damage.
'Boom!!'
The two collided violently.
In the contest of power, Charizard was clearly far superior.
Pidgeot's Aerial Ace was exhausted, and she was sent flying by Charizard's Giga Impact, crashing onto the battle arena, kicking up a thick cloud of dust.
Everyone who saw this couldn't help but feel a chill.
Especially those familiar with Corey, who were all sweating bullets for him.
The man's expression was serious, his fists clenched, and his heart was pounding with tension.
He wasn't even sure if Pidgey could withstand the attack, let alone expect Xia Mu to go against the grain and choose a direct confrontation.
He had originally been very confident in his Aerial Ace technique, which was why he chose this tactic, but he never imagined that this sure-hit move, which he couldn't counter, would be broken by Xia Mu in such a direct and ruthless way.
In fact, the reason he taught Pidgey Aerial Ace was because he had suffered from this move at the previous Indigo League tournament, and only through diligent training had he taught Pidgey the technique.
As the dust settled, Pidgeot's figure slowly emerged.It hadn't lost its ability to battle, but it had suffered a blow; one of its wings was clearly badly injured.
"Do you still want to fight?" Xia Mu asked, prompting a question.
It had to be said, Corey was very strong, and he was certainly qualified to take the Volcano Badge from him.
However, having participated in the Indigo League, he probably already had the Volcano Badge and didn't really need it anymore…
"Pidgeot, do you still want to fight?" Corey gave the choice to Pidgeot.
This action alone surpassed most trainers.
No wonder it had reached this point; trusting its Pokémon and giving it the opportunity to decide indicated a high bond, resulting in a greater power boost.
According to the percentage-based power increase described in the cheat simulator, it essentially meant unleashing power exceeding 100% to a certain extent.
'Pidgeot~~' Pidgeot let out a loud cry, then, ignoring its injury, flapped its wings and soared into the air.
A level 50 Pidgeot already possesses strength exceeding the elite level; this level is equivalent to a league champion.
"Alright! Let's continue the battle!" Seeing Pidgeot's reaction, Corey's expression shifted from gloomy to sunny, his eyes blazing with even stronger fighting spirit.
Seeing this, Xia Mu glanced at the Charizard in the air: "Then let's go all out! Charizard, Flamethrower!"
'Roar!!!' A loud roar erupted, and a dense stream of flames surged from Charizard's mouth, incredibly powerful.
"Dodge, Pidgeot." Corey commanded Pidgeot, watching it circle and dodge the Flamethrower, then shouted, "Now! Steel Wing!"
'Pidgeot~~!' Pidgeot's wings shone with a dazzling steel luster, like steel blades, charging straight at Charizard.
Despite being injured, its speed was still faster than lightning.
However!
Even faster speeds had been seen.
Prepared, Xia Mu's eyes narrowed, and he made a decision.
"Dragon Claw, next!"
'Roar!' With a roar, Charizard's claws were enveloped in Dragon-type energy, transforming into giant energy claws.
A deafening boom resounded.
The unstoppable Steel Wings were simply grabbed and blocked by Charizard's claws.
"What? How is this possible?" Corey exclaimed in shock.
Today's battle had completely overturned his previous worldview.
All the trainers who witnessed this scene were dumbfounded, even Blaine and Professor Magnolia, who were hiding behind the scenes, were greatly surprised.
Xia Mu's fighting method was truly unbelievable; the impossible had been made possible.
"Unfortunately, Pidgeotto's speed is indeed very fast after activating Tailwind, but its strength is clearly insufficient after being injured, making it unable to directly confront Charizard." Xia Mu smiled, then his expression changed again, giving Charizard the final command, "Flamethrower, end the battle."
Charizard, holding Pidgeot in its claws, flashed a fierce light in its eyes, unleashing a close-range Flamethrower that blasted Pidgeotto away.
This attack hit squarely, greatly amplifying the damage.
"Pidgeot !" Seeing the Pidgey plummeting from the sky, its feathers singed, Corey lost his composure and, to avoid further injury upon impact, immediately recalled it with a Poké Ball.
And so, Pidgeotto was rendered unable to battle, and Corey was forced to leave the arena.
Before leaving, Xia Mu left his designated spot for the first time to deliver a powerful healing potion purchased from the system to Corey.
