"For Alakazam, you'll be the first to attack," Ash thought for a second and threw the Poké Ball.
"Go ahead, Snorlax!"
Great!
A large Snorlax appeared.
[LV59 Snorlax/Champion]
"It actually has the potential to be a champion..." Gary had never seen Ash's Snorlax and had always thought that this Snorlax had Elite potential. He didn't expect that its potential was so high and its level was also very high.
Ash had captured this Snorlax and never took care of it. Except when he needed it in battle, he left it at Professor Oak's Laboratory, where Professor Oak took care of it.
Ash was really wasting its talent. He didn't train the good Snorlax and kept it in the Laboratory. No wonder its strength improved so slowly.
"Gary's first Pokémon is Alakazam, and Ash's Pokémon is Snorlax. I wonder what kind of matchup it will be," the host said.
"Snorlax has high special defense, use Psyshock," Gary ordered.
"Kazam!" Alakazam's eyes radiated psychic energy, and a substantial pink beam rushed towards Snorlax, hitting Snorlax's belly.
"Snorlax..." Snorlax was hit by Psyshock, and its large body staggered back a few steps, but it still successfully resisted Psyshock.
"Snorlax, use Body Slam to counterattack," Ash ordered.
Snorlax jumped up, and although it was large, it jumped very high, aiming to land on Alakazam.
"Teleport, then continue to attack with Psyshock," Gary ordered.
Bang!
Snorlax landed, and the ground was instantly smashed into a hole, with surrounding rocks breaking. Alakazam dodged with Teleport and countered with a Psyshock, hitting Snorlax on the back.
Although Snorlax was in pain, it stood up immediately with its strong physical strength.
"Snorlax, use Defense Curl!" Ash saw Snorlax in pain and immediately gave up attacking to increase its physical defense first.
"Snorlax!"
Snorlax immediately used Defense Curl, and its body seemed to become wider and rounder.
"Disable the Defense Curl skill," Gary said.
This Snorlax is tanky, and if its physical defense is increased, Alakazam will have a hard time fighting.
"Huh!"
Alakazam's eyes radiated spiritual energy, and an invisible energy landed on Snorlax, imprisoning the Defense Curl skill.
"Snorlax, use Ice Punch!" Ash ordered.
Snorlax's huge fist was covered with a layer of ice energy, like an Ice Hammer, and rushed towards Alakazam.
Gary was very calm and did not issue any orders. Alakazam first launched a Psyshock attack. Snorlax forcibly resisted the damage of Psyshock, approached Alakazam, and punched out, hitting a rock, and the rock broke.
Alakazam had already dodged with Teleport, and then used Psyshock to sneak attack Snorlax. Snorlax used Heavy Slam to chase him, and the two sides chased each other. Alakazam kept flying kites to consume Snorlax's energy.
After several rounds, when Snorlax was hit by Psyshock again, its physical strength was obviously not enough. It lay on the ground, gasping for breath, and its physical strength was close to the limit.
"Snorlax, use Rest," Ash immediately ordered.
Snorlax immediately used Rest, and its physical strength recovered rapidly.
"Ash wants to fight a war of attrition to consume Alakazam's mental energy, but looking at Alakazam's condition, it seems that it can continue to fight," the host explained.
Gary also saw Ash's plan and had to say that this method was indeed feasible. If Alakazam didn't know Psyshock, this tactic would be even more perfect.
Seeing Snorlax fall asleep, Gary didn't rush to attack and ordered, "Keep using Calm Mind."
Alakazam crossed its legs, suspended in the air, and used Calm Mind to refresh its special attack and make its mental power stronger.
"Snorlax, get up quickly," Ash felt something was wrong and shouted.
However, Snorlax was sleeping very deeply, with no signs of waking up, and Alakazam kept using Calm Mind to improve its special attack ability.
In a short while, Alakazam's suspended legs opened and fell to the ground. Calm Mind had already increased Alakazam's special attack ability to the limit.
Gary snapped his fingers and said, "It's time to end the battle, use Psyshock."
"Snorlax, come back." And at this moment, Ash suddenly took out the Poké Ball, recalled Snorlax, and Psyshock hit in vain, smashing all the rocks on the track. It kept hitting the shield before it stopped.
"The battle is over," Gary thought to himself.
Gary's Alakazam is Elite-level, and a Quasi-Elite Pokémon can compete with an Elite-level Pokémon, but now, after Alakazam's ultimate Calm Mind, a Quasi-Elite Pokémon will definitely not be able to withstand an attack from Alakazam.
This is also thanks to Ash's consumption strategy. He wanted to consume Snorlax's high physical strength, high special defense, and Rest skills, but forgot that Gary's Alakazam has the skill to strengthen its own ability.
Ash must be feeling bad now, and I don't know if Ash has a way to deal with it. If not, he can only defeat 3 Pokémon first to end the first half of the game.
"Oh no, Alakazam's ultimate Calm Mind is very terrifying. What should Ash do? If there is no way, then everything is over!" the host nervously explained.
"Muk, please!" Ash threw the Poké Ball.
Great!
[LV52 Muk/Quasi-Elite]
Gary didn't care when he saw Muk. In the original plot, Ash used Muk to fight Gary, so he was not surprised by Muk's appearance.
Moreover, Muk is a Poison-type Pokémon, but it is weak to Psychic skills. Putting Muk on it can only be said to be a gift.
"Alakazam, use Psychic," Gary ordered.
The next moment, Ash also quickly ordered, "Muk, use Haze."
Gary was shocked.
The Haze skill can reset the change of ability, whether it is an increase or decrease, as long as it is contaminated by Haze, it will be reset.
Alakazam also used Psychic before Haze touched it, and Psychic broke through Haze and hit Muk's body.
"Muuk...!!"
Muk wailed in pain and was directly knocked out of the field by Psychic, instantly losing consciousness.
"Muk loses the ability to fight, Alakazam wins!" the referee immediately announced.
Although Muk was defeated, Haze also successfully touched Alakazam and reset all the amplification of Alakazam's Calm Mind.
"It can actually use Haze..." Gary didn't remember Ash's Muk knowing this move it seems to be Muk's natural skill.
