After the Earthquake waves passed, Ash's Pikachu finally landed.
Though it was panting heavily, it had not lost its ability to battle.
"Snorlax is unable to battle. Please switch Pokémon!"
After the referee stepped forward to check Snorlax's condition, he raised the small flag in his hand and announced.
[This is bad. It looks like Lu Ze might really lose to Ash.]
[Indeed. Lu Ze only has one Pokémon left, while Ash still has two.]
[Honestly, I feel like there's something off about Ash's Pikachu's battle strength.]
[Yeah, I noticed it too. Pikachu isn't even holding its exclusive item, so why is it this strong?]
[Lu Ze's Snorlax's strength is obvious to everyone, but Ash's Pikachu's battle strength... Was Pikachu this strong during the Masters Eight Tournament finals?]
[If Pikachu had been this strong back then, Ash would have won the championship already.]
[Maybe after the Masters Eight Tournament ended, Ash and Pikachu reflected on their losses and successfully grew stronger.]
[They're already at Master level. How could they possibly improve further?]
[Above Master level, there is a legendary realm: Champion level.]
[Clearly, Ash's Pikachu has already reached Champion level.]
[Champion level? Since when was there such a classification? How come I never knew?]
[Mustard said it. Just because you didn't know doesn't mean Mustard could be wrong.]

[Isn't this perfect? Lu Ze won the Masters Eight Tournament, while Ash defeated Lu Yuan and earned the title of uncrowned king. Everyone wins!]
[Bullshit! Lu Ze definitely still has a trump card. He won't lose this match so easily!]
[Stop struggling. What trump
