Scorching energy shot out in a straight line.
Pikachu leaped into the air again and unleashed Thunderbolt with all its strength.
Endless electricity filled the air before striking down at the incoming Hyper Beam.
"Bzz!!"
Thunderbolt VS Hyper Beam!
The two sides collided violently, their energy erupting without restraint.
Eichi nodded to himself. As expected of Pikachu. It was really impressive.
Most Pokémon at the same level as it would probably have already gone down by now.
But Pikachu was different. It could face an opponent head-on without falling behind.
Pikachu gritted its teeth and pushed forward with all its strength.
But it could feel the opposing move steadily pressing toward it.
In less than three seconds, Thunderbolt's electricity had been completely forced back by Hyper Beam.
Pikachu itself was blasted away by the energy and slammed into the ground.
Ash shouted anxiously, "Pikachu!"
Pikachu climbed up from the ground, its body covered in dust. It shook its head hard and got back to its feet.
"Pika Pi!"
Ash said, "It's good that you're okay, Pikachu."
"Alright, let's keep going!"
"Pikachu, use Double Team!"
As though it had not been injured at all, Pikachu sprinted forward like an afterimage.
Its afterimages kept changing as it ran, and before long, dozens of copies had split off.
Eichi said, "Dragonair, we'll use Double Team too."
Dragonair swung its tail, and with one sweep, dozens of copies split off from its body in an instant.
The clones from both sides filled the entire Battle Arena.
Just a slight step forward would bring them crashing together.
Ash said, "Charge!"
"Pikachu, use Quick Attack!"
Eichi said, "Dragonair, use Dragon Tail."
"Pika Pi!"
Every Pikachu rushed toward Dragonair, electricity seeming to gather beneath their feet and accelerate their bodies.
All the clones collided, while Dragonair swayed
