Battle Ash, Part One

"Gigalith, I choose you!"

The moment the referee finished speaking, Ash impatiently sent out his first Pokémon, Gigalith.

"Then Lucario, I'm leaving the opponent to you!" Gary snapped his fingers, and his Lucario appeared opposite Gigalith.

"Lucario, huh!" Looking at the still-standing Lucario, Ash's eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

"Let's go, Gigalith! Use Rock Slide!"

At Ash's command, several rocks circled Gigalith once before hurtling toward Lucario.

"Lucario, Bullet Punch!"

Though Gigalith's Rock Slide came in fiercely, Lucario's Bullet Punch shattered every rock one by one.

"Then use Stone Edge!"

After Gigalith let out a roar, protruding rocks rapidly spread toward Lucario.

"Agility!"

Before Gigalith's Stone Edge could touch Lucario, Lucario had already vanished from where it stood.

"What?" Ash's eyes narrowed slightly at the sight, and he immediately began searching for Lucario.

Although Ash quickly spotted Lucario, Gary's Lucario had already appeared before Gigalith, poised to attack.

"Lucario, Meteor Mash!"

At Gary's command, Lucario's Meteor Mash struck Gigalith directly, sending it flying on the spot.

"Aura Sphere!" Gary sensed that Gigalith had not lost its ability to battle, so he followed up with an Aura Sphere.

The Aura Sphere struck Gigalith without obstruction after it landed, and it completely lost consciousness.

"Gigalith is unable to battle. Lucario wins!"

After checking Gigalith's condition, the referee immediately announced the result.

"You worked hard, Gigalith!" Faced with this situation, Ash could only recall Gigalith into its Poké Ball and send out his next Pokémon.

"I'm counting on you next, Pignite!"

Facing Lucario, which had the Steel-type, Ash still sent out his Pignite.
