As one of the Elite Four of the official Pokémon Alliance, Lorelei is also good at Ice Type.
However, given that the Kanto Region rarely contains single Ice-Type Pokémon, most of them are dual-Attribute.
This means that several of Lorelei's main Pokémon all have dual attributes.
Slowbro, Jynx, Cloyster, Lapras and Dewgong are the five most powerful Pokémon in Lorelei.
Among these Pokémon, there are four that are Water Type.
I can understand Misty's excitement when she saw Lorelei. After all, ice and water are inseparable.
Therefore, when Lorelei brought Ash to the battle stadium behind her villa.
"Go ahead, Cloyster."
She also sent out Cloyster, who had appeared in the demonstration match before.
It is known for its extremely high defense, and its attack power is also not weak.
"The rules of the game are one-on-one. Each side sends out a Pokémon. Is that ok?"
Lorelei, who took out the Pokémon first before explaining the rules, had already given the advantage to Ash.
After all, she is one of the Elite Four of Alliance, while Ash is just a Rookie Trainer who has just debuted for a year.
Although this Rookie Trainer has already won the Indigo Plateau Conference championship~~~
"Of course."
Ash smiled and said, "Then the Pokémon I sent out...
He looked at the Pikachu beside him: "Please, Pikachu."
"Pika Pika~!!"
Pikachu immediately leaped into the battlefield, its two rosy cheek air bags constantly emitting electricity.
"Pikachu? As expected~~"
Lorelei crossed her arms, not surprised by Ash's choice.
As the Pokémon that follows Ash around, it must be his main player.
Moreover, Pikachu is good at special attacks and is an Electric Type that restrains Water Type, so it is the most suitable choice for battle.
"Let me get you started first, Ash."
"Then I won't be polite~~~"
Rival is the Elite Four, and Ash also went all out right away.
"Thunder!!"
"Protect~"
Cloyster's Species Strength is as high as 180, but its special defense is only 45 points.
Faced with a special attack-level move like [Thunder], even Lorelei didn't dare to let Cloyster take it head-on.
Cloyster's only skills to improve Contest Condition are [Withdraw] and [Iron 02 Wall], which greatly increase defense.
So if you want to defend against this Electric Type's special defense trick, using [Protect] is the best choice.
Buzz!
The bright green light blocked all the pouring thunder.
"Use Drill Run~"
Lorelei ordered softly.
Drill Run, Ground Type's special move, can just restrain Pikachu.
"Hey!"
At that moment, Cloyster received the order and closed the two huge shells.
All the raised edges on its body are facing Pikachu.
The whole body immediately spun like a steel drill, and it rushed towards Pikachu while spinning.
"Agility, get out of the way."
Ash was also very calm, "Then use [Electro Web]."
"Pikachu!!"
Suddenly, Pikachu's feet were like the wind, and his shadow seemed to be constantly turning and moving.
The ultra-fast movement allowed it to easily jump away from Cloyster, which was attacking like a steel drill from Normal.
And when jumping high into the air.
"Pikachu!"
It used its tail as the center of gravity in mid-air and swung violently towards Cloyster below.
Suddenly, a ball of electric current surged from the tail of the lightning model.
When they were thrown out by Pikachu, they intertwined with each other and formed a huge golden Electro Web.
Covering the Cloyster that was gradually coming to a stop!!
Sizzle!
Like a spider web woven by a spider, it directly covered Cloyster in place.
The crackling electric current suddenly exploded on Cloyster's body.
"Use Thunder at its maximum power now."
"Use [Light Screen], then counter with [Freeze Ray]!"
Lorelei calmly directed Cloyster to respond.
[Light Screen] weakens the special attack from Rival, and then uses [Freeze Ray] to resist the opponent's Thunder move.
It can be said that this is the standard response that Cloyster can currently make to this move.
Not to mention Normal's Electric Type Pokémon.
Even if it is a special move performed by another Elite Four Electric-Type Pokémon.
It might not be able to cause any significant damage to Lorelei's Cloyster.
After all, her Cloyster has received professional training in this area.
But unfortunately~~~
The Electric Type Pokémon they were facing was Ash's Pikachu.
Although it looks like Pikachu, it is actually a legendary beast, Pikachu!!
"Pikachu!!!"
Pikachu on Soaring in the sky swelled up electricity all over his body, condensing into the most dazzling shining beam at the moment!!
It was a thunder so strong that even Soaring in the sky couldn't cover it, and everyone had to close their eyes!!
boom!!!
The exploding lightning shattered the Light Screen built by Cloyster in just a moment.
In addition, the Ice Type's ultimate move for defense [Freezing Ray]~
Under this thunder, they couldn't hold on for long.
To describe it as a complete collapse at the first blow might be a bit of an exaggeration.
But it only lasted for a few moments before it could no longer hold on.
Boom~!!
The boundless electric current hit Cloyster directly.
The blooming lightning continued to surge on Cloyster's body, gradually covering his entire body surface with a charred black.
"Such power of thunder...as expected."
Under the lens, Miss Lorelei, who witnessed this scene with her own eyes, slightly raised the corners of her mouth for the first time.
Squeak~~~~~
It was like the crackling sound that came from something burning.
Cloyster's entire body was charred black.
Hot steam was still coming out.
"Come back, Thornyshell."
Lorelei did not continue the game, but chose to take Cloyster back.
"Is this the end, Miss Lorelei?"
Ash saw this and asked.
"Well, because I already got the answer I wanted..."
Lorelei chuckled and said, "If we continue to fight, there won't be much point."
The answer I want... Sure enough, this is what literary young women like to say~~~
"Ash, what do you want to do next?"
She suddenly asked.
"Next?"
Ash answered without hesitation: "Let's challenge the Orange Alliance Winner's Cup first."
"After that, I plan to go to Johto Region and Hoenn Region to challenge Alliance competitions in other regions."
"And I heard that Battle Frontier seems to be quite famous recently."
"There are other regions such as Sinnoh Region, Unova Region, Kalos, Alola, Galar, etc. Go check them out."
"To see different customs and cultures, as well as the Pokémon there."
This was the route he had thought of a long time ago, and it was the path he had always wanted to follow.
"I see…"
Lorelei nodded slightly.
The answer she wanted was that she saw the shadow of a certain person in Ash.
That person was also from the Galar Region that Ash mentioned.
Also when he first debuted, at the age of ten, he won the championship cup in his first gym challenge.
Since then, that person and his good partner Charizard have maintained a winning streak in all competitions, including official events.
He is known as the invincible champion and is the object of admiration of all Trainers.
With his amazing record of never losing a single Pokémon battle, he also became the champion of the Galar Region.
The Trainer's name is Dan Di.
And now, Lorelei also saw the shadow of Emperor Dan in Ash.
Even, in Lorelei's opinion~~~
"He may have higher potential than the Dan Emperor back then."
Lorelei looked at Ash who picked up Pikachu again and placed it on his shoulders, and whispered in her heart.
During the Alliance Conference, her Elite Four-level eyesight was extremely sharp.
How can you not see the strength of the Pokémon that Ash possesses?!
When talking to Bruno, the latter also praised Ash highly.
It is possible for a strong person at the same Elite Four level to have such an evaluation.
Then only people of similar level can receive such praise.
And now, when he was personally fighting against Ash.
I also realized this more deeply.
Ash and his Pokémon have the potential to compete for the Pokémon Alliance Regional Championship Representative!
Even more than just potential.
"The strength of his Pokémon is not far from that level~~~"
The battle between the two ended in such an anticlimactic way.
Ash also knew that Lorelei was not taking the fight seriously.
Otherwise, the battle could be prolonged just by using [Protect], [Substitute], and other tricks alternately.
"The nearest gym is in Metropolis."
At the entrance of the villa, Lorelei was also pointing the road to Ash and his group:
"That's the city on the other side of Little Orange Island."
Little Orange Island is very big, so big that you can see several cities inside the island.
"No matter what, your trip will never be wasted, come on~"
"Yes~"
Ash also smiled and nodded: "When I get lost, I will definitely listen to the sound of the wind and the waves, and then remember what Miss Lorelei said to me.
"Me too!!"
Misty also made her presence known: "I will also work hard towards my dream of becoming a Water Type Pokémon Master!!"
Tracey followed up with: "Me too! I want to see all kinds of Pokémon! And then solve their puzzles!
"Goodbye, be careful on the road~"
After saying their final goodbyes, both sides waved goodbye.
Ash and the others continued to move towards the third Orange Islands gym.
Lorelei couldn't help but chuckle as she watched them go away:
"I'll probably hear stories about you in the near future, Ash.
"Sooner or later, you will grow up to be a being that is no less powerful than the Dan Emperor~~~"
The metropolis was on the other side of the Orange Islands, so Ash and his team also needed to pass through the city in the middle.
During this period, they also came to a city called Yangbella.
city.
"Although this place is not big, it is very beautiful~"
Several people walked on the street, looking at the surrounding scenery which was completely different from that inland.
It is also a beautiful scenery in their journey.
However, the more you come to such a city, the more things will happen.
For example~~~
"Meili! Meili!! Where are you?!"
A girl with blonde hair and a pink dress ran over hurriedly, shouting.
"Excuse me, have you seen my Meili?"
She stopped in front of Ash and the others and asked anxiously.
"Meili? Who is Meili?"
Misty and Tracey were confused.
"Oh, sorry, that's my Pokémon, Nidoran♀, I call it Miri..."
The beautiful girl who is looking for her own Pokémon Nidoran♀ is called Coco.
She is very beautiful, but has a willful personality.
And because of her willful personality and the fact that her Pokémon is the same as Laerfu's, she often quarrels with Laerfu.
As for who is Lai Erfu...
"Jiang En?! Jiang En?! Where are you!!"
In the park in the center of Yangbella, Ash and others also met a little boy in blue clothes who was also calling out the same name.
"I'm looking for my Pokémon Nidoran♂, I call it Jon..."
Well, he is Lai Erfu, he is enthusiastic and very handsome, but he is also very competitive.
One is unruly and willful, the other is competitive and aggressive...
So the two people often have conflicts.
As for the Qiang En and Mei Li that the two were looking for...
There are many beautiful flowers in the 090 park.
There is a statue in the middle surrounded by flowers.
This is also where Qiang En and Mei Li had their secret meeting.
Ash and the others saw with their own eyes the two Pokémon, Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀.
There they held flowers in their mouths, snuggled up to each other, and bubbles of love were floating above each other's heads~
"Jiang En!!"
"Meili!!"
After finding their Pokémon, Coco and Ralph's faces changed immediately.
They walked straight forward and roughly took their respective Pokémon away, separating the two Pokémon.
"Don't meet it again, it will make you lose your class!!"
"That Nidoran♀ is not suitable for you, don't go see it again next time!!"
The two of them parted ways directly, and left the village right away.
Even Ash and the others who were watching the excitement were left behind.
Only the two Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀ were staring at each other from a distance, shaking their legs and feet.
Both eyes were filled with reluctance and love for each other.
Ash and his group:
I always feel like I've watched a big show.
Afterwards, they also heard about their story in a coffee shop.
Both Ye Mili and Lai Erfu are very famous in this city.
When they were young, they often compared with each other and quarreled frequently.
For some reason, they often use the same Pokémon.
Pokémon appraisal meetings are often held in their city.
Every time they argued fiercely over whether Lai Erfu or Ye Mili should be declared the winner.
At this year's review meeting, they also brought out the same Pokémon for the competition.
It was Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀.
And the decision was also very interesting, as they both won at the same time and thus no trouble was caused.
However, they didn't expect that the two Pokémon they took out would fall in love with each other at first sight.
However, due to the bad relationship between the Trainers, the two cups were torn apart alive...
Hmm~~~
Isn't this the perfect love story of Romeo and Juliet?!
What's more, it's a Pokémon version!
Ash once thought that he had watched the "masterpiece" of that Hollywood director again.
Well, the movie that was released in Hollywood before told stories about this aspect.
As a result, this happened again in reality!
Moreover, the two Pokémon, Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀, also persevered in escaping, meeting secretly, being discovered, being separated, and then escaping and meeting secretly again.
This kind of drama can be said to be constantly being played out.
Ash felt that it was not mainly because the two houses were too close to each other.
Well, the two of them are neighbors, and there's not even a fence between the two houses, just a few trees~
In Ash's opinion, this is just the pure tsundere attribute between the two owners.
He doesn't have time to play house games with these two children.
But Misty couldn't help but want to interfere.
