"Next, allow me to be your opponent."
As soon as Ash said that, the entire venue fell silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Corey and the others even wondered if there was something wrong with their ears.
"He… he didn't make a mistake, did he? This is a terrifying opponent that can instantly obliterate even Elite Four Lorelei's six main Pokémon when she goes all out. He wants to fight her with his bare hands? What a joke!" Neesha swallowed, her words filled with disbelief.
No normal person would say something so idiotic!
"He does have some special abilities, but… no matter how strong a human is, it's impossible to fight a Pokémon. Humans are humans; how can they fight a Pokémon? And such a powerful Pokémon at that!" Corey also completely failed to understand Ash's actions.
It was like how he couldn't understand Mewtwo, as a Pokémon, suddenly becoming a Trainer. A Pokémon becoming a Trainer was simply inconceivable. And now, something even more inconceivable had occurred: a human was going to fight another Pokémon as a Pokémon!
And that Pokémon was the one that had just instantly obliterated a Champion-level main Pokémon. Is this even right?
Pokémon commanding Pokémon only requires using one's brain. Intelligence, with enough training, will always yield some results. But strength is different… no matter how much a human trains, even if they train their body to its absolute limit, they can't compare to a Pokémon.
A human entering the battle as a Pokémon is far more absurd than a Pokémon entering as a Trainer!
Misty, Brock, and Gary, though they said nothing, their faces were also filled with worry. More than others, they knew how strong Ash was. In terms of special abilities, he was definitely at the peak of humanity.
But Mewtwo's strength was at the peak of Pokémon! This was vastly different from the peak of humanity; in fact, there was no need for comparison at all.
Therefore, Ash's peak and Mewtwo's peak were simply incomparable. It wasn't that Misty and the others didn't want to believe Ash, but with such a disparity in strength, how could they fully believe him?!
To be able to defeat Lorelei's main Pokémon in such a way, Mewtwo had undoubtedly entered that realm. No matter how strong Ash was, could he really contend with a God Domain Level Pokémon?
This was clearly unrealistic.
But Ash wasn't someone who was reckless. So far, many of Ash's tactics and battle arrangements that seemed unreasonable to them had ultimately yielded unexpected results. So this time, perhaps Ash also had some strategy to deal with it?
Lorelei's expression also shifted slightly when she saw Ash step forward. She subconsciously took a step forward, but then retreated.
Although she hadn't been with Ash for very long, Ash was clearly not the kind of person who would rush to his death, knowing it was futile. Behind him, there were so many beings he needed to protect. If he were to charge in without any plan, that would be irresponsible to his partners and companions.
So Lorelei ultimately did not move, but silently watched Ash's back, praying in her heart: 'Be careful, Ash.'
'Nonsensical.' Mewtwo looked at the young man standing before her, and for the first time, a look of disdain appeared on her calm face. Ash's actions seemed to fill her with contempt.
To still dare to stand before her after witnessing her strength was no longer a matter of commendable courage, but rather outright foolish and idiotic behavior.
The fact that Ash hadn't abandoned his Pokémon stirred some ripples in Mewtwo's heart, but Ash's act of standing before her made her feel utterly foolish.
"Whether it's nonsensical or not, you'll know if you try." Ash said, stomping his foot heavily. His figure streaked across the air, leaving an afterimage, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Mewtwo.
This abnormal speed caused Mewtwo's pupils to constrict. She instinctively activated a barrier, and a light blue Psychic barrier firmly protected her.
This was the same barrier that had just reflected all of Elite Four Lorelei's six Champion-level Pokémon's attacks, its defensive power having already been proven.
Facing this barrier, Ash merely threw his fist, which glowed with a faint blue light.
"Bang!!"
"Crack, crack, crack!!"
A dull thud echoed throughout the entire venue. A visible shockwave spread out from the center of the two, blowing away all the gravel and debris on the ground.
And that Psychic barrier, which could defend against the full power of six Champion-level Pokémon, actually showed spiderweb-like cracks!
"Shatter!!"
"Snap!!"
At Ash's furious shout, the barrier in front of Mewtwo completely shattered. This scene left not only Gary and the others watching, but even Mewtwo herself, completely dumbfounded.
"Dude, what the hell is your fist made of? Are you a God Domain Level Fighting-type Pokémon? How can you break my barrier with one punch?! This was a barrier that six Champion-level Pokémon couldn't even make a ripple in with their combined efforts, and you just broke it like that?!"
While Mewtwo was stunned, Ash had already crouched down, and his left fist, already prepared, shot out from his waist!
"Bang!!" This punch landed directly on Mewtwo's face, making her already stunned brain even dizzier—the Friendship Breakface Punch!
"Thud—Bang—Crack!" With one punch, Mewtwo rolled dozens of times on the ground, eventually embedding her entire body into the wall of the arena.
All of this happened in a flash of lightning. No one had any idea what had happened until a faint breathing sound emerged from the venue after a full ten seconds.
Corey was gasping for air in small breaths, not daring to breathe deeply. The scene just now had made him forget to breathe and almost suffocated him. Now, he only dared to breathe in small sips, afraid that his breathing would break this dream-like scene.
What did he see? That Mewtwo, who could suppress Elite Four Lorelei's six Champion-level main Pokémon, was now hit by the young man named Ash—one punch to break the barrier, one punch to the face, and finally sent flying over a hundred meters to smash into the arena wall!
Besides dreaming, Corey truly couldn't imagine any other situation where he would see such a scene.
Neesha and Fergus, needless to say, had almost the same thoughts as Corey. They were already cursing in their hearts. Is this something a human can do?
Misty and Ash's other close friends, who knew him better, were also dumbfounded. They knew Ash was strong, but they never expected him to be this strong.
Mewtwo's barrier just now couldn't have been holding back; it was definitely the same barrier that had blocked six Champion-level Pokémon, which meant God Domain Level power. Yet Ash broke that barrier with one punch, and then sent Mewtwo flying over a hundred meters with another punch!
What does this mean? It means Ash's power has reached God Domain Level!!
What, what, what, what are you kidding?! Humans don't even have God Domain Level Pokémon, and now they're telling us someone already possesses God Domain Level power? Good heavens, you must be a human-shaped Legendary Pokémon!
"Is Ash a reincarnation of Arceus?" Gary held back for a long time, finally blurting out a sentence. This wasn't a joke, but his true thoughts.
Damn it, besides the reason of being Arceus reborn, what other reason could explain all the miraculous events happening to Ash?
First, he traveled for less than three months and then defeated an Elite-level Pokémon. Then, after traveling for just over three months, he could contend with a Pokémon at the peak of the Elite. Later, he used some unknown method to beat Mewtwo, whose strength surpassed the peak of Champion-level, like a dog!
Then, just over four months later, Ash already has a Gym-level Pokémon. Four months—Gym-level, is this something that can happen in the real world?
Finally, there's now, the most incredible thing: with his bare hands, he broke a God Domain Level Psychic-type Pokémon's protective barrier with one punch, and then sent Mewtwo flying with another punch!
Goodness gracious, besides Arceus reborn, is there any other explanation?
Either Ash is Mew in disguise, who just lost her memory of being a Pokémon and thinks she's a human! Hmm, that's a very reasonable explanation.
"You're going too far with that, I've been with Ash since he started his journey. We watched him improve little by little, it's just that his progress was a tiny bit fast…" Misty retorted, her voice lacking conviction.
"A tiny bit fast… If my Pokémon's training speed is like walking, then he's riding a rocket! You call that a tiny bit fast?" Gary's mouth twitched, and he retorted with a pained expression.
"And now it's not a matter of training speed; the problem is with the guy himself! We've been playing together since I was old enough to remember. We've argued since we were kids, what abilities does he have that I don't know about? But besides being a little strong, he's just an ordinary person."
"As a result, after he started his journey, his talent for training Pokémon could be said to have only developed because he was just introduced to Pokémon. But how do you explain this Aura power he possesses? Did his hidden power suddenly burst forth after he started traveling, making him this strong all at once?"
Gary's question also plunged Misty and Brock into silence.
They became Ash's companions shortly after he started his journey, but they weren't very clear about what happened before Ash's journey. And the power Ash possessed was already there when they first met him.
Even Misty, who met Ash on the very day he started his journey, didn't know where the power in Ash's body came from.
She met Ash at noon on the day he started his journey. At that time, Ash was punching and kicking a flock of Spearow, which indicated that Ash should have already possessed Aura at that time.
If Ash didn't acquire Aura before his journey, then it's not possible that he awakened that power on the morning of that day and then trained it to this level in just a few months, right? That's even more unscientific!
Misty probably couldn't even imagine, no matter how hard she thought, that Ash really did awaken Aura on the morning of that day, and upon awakening, it was God Domain Level power. It was just that Ash at that time couldn't fully utilize that power yet.
And now, Ash can not only use all the power of the inherited Aura Ash, but also the Aura he developed himself. That's why, despite both being God Domain Level, Mewtwo was beaten so badly.
Of course, Mewtwo's carelessness was also a factor.
This scene caused even Lorelei, who was usually calm and unperturbed, to feel a violent tremor in her heart.
Imagine this: you are a Champion Trainer, and your six strongest Pokémon are among the top Pokémon in the world, yet all six of them combined can't defeat one Pokémon. But then, a human appears and instantly defeats the opponent that all your Pokémon, with all their might, couldn't beat. How would you feel?
All the shocking things Lorelei had encountered in her life combined didn't have as much impact on her as this scene before her.
Even with her composure, she wanted to say—this is so f*cking outrageous!
Lorelei's six Pokémon also stared dumbfounded at Mewtwo, who was embedded in the wall. They couldn't help but doubt their 'Pokémon' lives, wondering, 'Is he Champion-level, or are we Champion-level?'
On the field, Ash slowly retracted his fist, letting out a breath. This was the first time he had gone all out since gaining Aura!
The effect, it seemed, was quite good. Even Mewtwo was knocked down by his punch.
He had been a little worried at first that he couldn't beat Mewtwo. After all, Aura Ash had said that inheriting his Aura meant at least God Domain Level, and Aura Ash had also contended with Legendary Pokémon, but Ash still had some worries in his heart.
But now, all worries had vanished—he could win!
Mewtwo, embedded in the wall, opened her eyes with some difficulty. She still felt the pain on her cheek; that punch had almost knocked her out.
After all, that punch was no different from being hit on the head.
After a slight recovery, a feeling of disbelief immediately flooded Mewtwo's heart.
Why… why could a human do this? She was God Domain Level! She had reached the ultimate level of the Pokémon world, but why was she beaten like this by the opponent?
One punch broke her barrier, another hit her face, and now her body was embedded in the wall, completely unable to move. She couldn't even imagine such a result, no matter how hard she thought!
Mewtwo had always known that Ash possessed special power. Her senses had vaguely detected the terrifying energy hidden within Ash, but that was back at the Viridian Gym.
Now she had become stronger, possessing immense power after her breakthrough, so much so that Mewtwo herself could hardly believe it. She felt that there was no Pokémon in the world that could be her opponent.
Then today, Ash brought her back to reality.
Ash had also reached her level, and he was even stronger than her!
A mere human… how could he!!
"Hey, Mewtwo, how long are you going to sleep there?"
