One must know that Splash was widely considered the most useless move, completely lacking in attack power and providing no status boosts to the user. It was an utterly wasted move.
However, at that very moment, the Magikarp, whose eyes were originally dull, suddenly narrowed its eyelids, its gaze sharp. Its aura abruptly changed. The instant the attack arrived, it thrashed its tail, propelling its entire body out of the water.
Water splashed on the surface. Magikarp's body leaped out of the water, and as its tail swayed, water scattered all around. Magikarp directly soared into the air.
For some reason, the moment Magikarp leaped out of the water, it exuded a sense of beauty. Below it, a giant arch seemed to appear, and Magikarp, with resolute eyes, leaped over the Dragon Gate.
Soon, the Dragon Gate below transformed into a Bubble Beam, passing beneath Magikarp and directly striking the water surface. The astonishing force impacted the water, a strong explosion echoed, and the water blasted upwards into the air.
At the same time, the force of this explosion propelled Magikarp even higher into the air.

"What?!" Daisy's face instantly showed surprise when her attack was dodged.
"To use Splash to dodge an attack, this kid really has something!" And on the shore, Violet and Lily were equally surprised.
A move they considered utterly useless could actually be used in such a way.
Ash, upon arriving in this world, had come to understand many things through personal experience. In the games, Splash indeed had no use.
However, after coming to this world, he realized that Magikarp often used this move to jump out of the water. It seemed useless, but in reality, because of the long-term, continuous use of this action.
In fact, Magikarp, despite appearing unable to battle, had developed a strong physique and explosive power, all in preparation for evolution.
Moreover, Ash also discovered that the moment Magikarp leaped out of the water using Splash was incredibly fast. Coupled with its recent weighted training, Magikarp's physique had become even stronger, and its reaction time had improved.
With increased speed, it naturally generated impact force. The current Magikarp's power was very strong.
"Even if you dodged, what good is it? You can't dodge in the air! Horsea, use Water Gun." Daisy reacted and immediately changed her attack strategy.
Horsea looked up at the sky. Its cylindrical mouth was naturally like a targeting scope, directly aiming at Magikarp and firing a powerful blue water stream.
"Dodge, use Tackle!" But Ash's expression remained calm as he calmly issued the command.
"Impossible, you can't in the air... Ah!"
Just as Daisy was about to speak, she saw Magikarp in the air continuously thrashing its tail. Its tail was strong and powerful, each swing like a wing, allowing Magikarp to change its position.
The moment the Water Gun sprayed over, it precisely dodged in the air. Then, Magikarp's eyes became even more serious, and it directly descended from the sky.
Using the force of its descent, it plunged down from the air, its entire body transforming into a torpedo.
Bang!!!!
Daisy was startled and had no time to make Horsea dodge. Magikarp directly crashed down from above.
Boom-splash-splash-splash!!!!
The water surface erupted with a loud crash. A powerful impact force struck the water, sending water several meters high. Magikarp directly slammed into Horsea.
The astonishing power carried Horsea, directly crashing into the water below. It continued underwater without slowing down. Magikarp's tail thrashed wildly left and right, its body pressed against Horsea.
Under the impact force of Magikarp's descent and the water's natural buoyancy, Horsea was tightly pressed against Magikarp's head, utterly unable to escape.
It was directly slammed by Magikarp into the bottom of the pool. The water at the bottom vibrated, and a pit was created in the ground. Horsea was directly embedded in the pit, with Magikarp still pressed tightly against it.
One must know that Magikarp's body was very robust. Magikarp's scales themselves were very hard, and its body structure basically had no discernible head; its entire body was mostly bone.
Being hit in such a situation was no less than being struck by a rock.
"Horsea!" Daisy called out, somewhat worried.
But Ash wouldn't give her a chance. This was reality, not a turn-based game. At a time like this, he had to press his advantage.
"Magikarp, use Flail!"
With Ash's command, the Magikarp, still pressing down on Horsea with its body, its eyes flashed with a sharp light, and it directly thrashed its body underwater.
The water swayed. Magikarp's movements seemed chaotic, like a drunken human fighting, but its tail and head continuously struck Horsea, which was embedded in the ground.
Flail: this was one of the few offensive moves Magikarp had besides Tackle. To be precise, it was a move any Pokémon could learn.
Any experienced player knew that generally, any Pokémon, no matter how low its level, would have one move.
083 But if you use cheat codes to delete all moves, then during battle, a Pokémon with no moves will default to this one.
It was considered a life-saving move for Pokémon. The power of this move was determined by the Pokémon's own HP; the higher the HP, the greater the damage.
However, this desperate move would also cause self-inflicted damage, similar to Double-Edge or Flare Blitz.
But Magikarp's body rhythm, coupled with its naturally sluggish nerves, meant it felt almost no pain, making this move perfectly suitable.
The water beneath continuously vibrated with Magikarp's movements. A moment later, the water surface gradually calmed down, and a pale yellow belly first floated to the surface.
It was Daisy's Horsea, now belly-up, spitting water from its cylindrical mouth, its eyes spiraling as it lay unconscious. On the other side, Magikarp also gradually surfaced, its mouth twitching as it blew bubbles.
Its intelligent gaze had returned, but clearly, Horsea was no longer able to battle.
"Damn it! I actually lost to a Magikarp." Daisy looked at the scene, feeling annoyed and humiliated.
"Can we start the next round?" Ash asked, ignoring her and looking at the two on the shore.
