"Watch! Don't say anything!!" Ash said indifferently. Misty, however, looked at Ash with a bit of dissatisfaction. He was the one who brought Charmander here, and now he was acting as if nothing was wrong. This wasn't like him at all!
"What's wrong with Ash?"
"Misty, don't worry. Ash probably has his own ideas!" After talking with Ash last night, Brock knew that Ash wouldn't just stand by. Although he didn't know what Ash was going to do, he was sure that Ash wouldn't let Charmander suffer.
....
"Alright, no need to be polite, come at me!" Daigo said proudly, looking at Charmander. After catching Charmander, he had it fight Poliwag. It was clear that Charmander was defeated due to the type disadvantage, so Daigo was very confident now.
Char!
Charmander didn't hold back either. It opened its mouth and directly released a hot force, spewing countless orange-red particles. It was the Ember attack.
"Hmph! As expected, no progress at all. Poliwag, use Water Gun!!" Daigo immediately shouted. Poliwag heard him, leaped out, and then spat out a blue water jet, aiming directly at Charmander.
Bang!!!
Fire and water, two forces clashed. Both sides continuously unleashed power. Charmander's power constantly increased, but it struggled to overcome the type disadvantage. Steam continuously rose in the air, but the power of Ember was continuously suppressed.
Sizzle!!!
Water Gun overpowered Ember. Charmander couldn't dodge in time and was directly hit by Water Gun. Charmander let out a low cry, its body pushed back by the force of Water Gun,
then it fell heavily to the ground. Hit by a Water-type move, its body uncontrollably fell to the ground, soaked in water. But Charmander gritted its teeth and struggled to get up.
"It can still stand up. It seems it hasn't made no progress at all. Poliwag, use Double Slap!" Looking at the half-risen Charmander, Daigo didn't give it a chance. He commanded Poliwag again. Poliwag charged forward, directly swinging its tail.
Charmander had just gotten up. Poliwag's speed was very fast. It swung its tail left and right, continuously hitting Charmander. Charmander staggered backward, continuously taking hits from Poliwag.
Poliwag!
After continuous hits, Poliwag's last slap hit Charmander's face. Charmander flew backward again, falling to the ground. It had just rained, and the ground was a bit muddy, so it fell into the mud. Charmander looked very disheveled.
"Hmph! Such a weak Pokémon is not worthy of staying with me. You'd better not waste time and get lost!" Daigo said proudly, looking at the scene. His cronies cheered him on, while other trainers, seeing this scene, either looked at Charmander with sympathy or frowned at Daigo.
"Damn it! Huh?? Ash..." Misty was almost fuming. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Ash walk out. She looked at Ash with a bit of confusion. Ash ignored her and walked directly with Pikachu. Many people's attention was also drawn to Ash. Ash walked into the field, behind Charmander, standing directly opposite Daigo, forming the scene of a battle between the two sides.
"Huh? Who are you?" Daigo saw someone appear and frowned slightly, asking arrogantly.
"Me? I'm just a passerby who can't stand your actions. I brought this Charmander here," Ash said calmly, looking at Daigo.
"So you're the one who brought me trouble. Don't meddle in my affairs!" Daigo frowned after hearing this. Only now did he realize that Ash was the one who brought Charmander here.
"Don't misunderstand. I simply can't stand you. Someone like you, who always blames your Pokémon for your failures, has no right to be a trainer," Ash replied expressionlessly.
"What did you say??"
"What I mean is, you're weak!" Ash slightly pointed at Daigo, speaking calmly, then looked at the fallen Charmander. Charmander's eyes were filled with unwillingness, but as Ash walked in, a complex emotion flashed in its eyes, and its heart was slowly moved. Daigo was infuriated by Ash, but Ash didn't wait for him to speak.
"If you want to prove your strength here, then listen to me!" Ash said calmly, looking at Charmander, who was lying on the ground and seemed to have little combat power left. Hearing this,
the surrounding trainers looked at Ash with a bit of surprise, secretly wondering. Does this person really want to battle Poliwag with a Charmander in such a bad state?
"Hmm?? You want to use that weak Charmander to battle my Poliwag? Interesting, then give it a try!" Daigo was also a bit surprised to see this scene. Then he said mockingly.
"There are no weak Pokémon, only weak trainers!"
Char!
Hearing this, Charmander's eyes suddenly opened wide. It immediately supported itself with its hands on the ground and slowly got up, standing before Daigo again. Although its body was covered in mud and looked a bit disheveled, its eyes were incomparably firm, burning with the flames of fighting spirit.
"I hope your strength is as good as your mouth. Poliwag, use Water Gun!" Daigo was also enraged by Ash's words. Ash's words were undoubtedly mocking him. He commanded again. Poliwag immediately launched another offensive. Poliwag once again used Water Gun attack towards Charmander.
"Charmander, use Smokescreen!!" Charmander wouldn't have lost so badly if it had cooperation. Ash looked at Poliwag's renewed offensive, his aura suddenly changing. With a command, Charmander immediately understood.
Char!!!!
Opening its mouth, as Water Gun was released, Charmander exhaled a large cloud of black smoke from its mouth. The smoke spread everywhere, engulfing Charmander itself. It also spread in all directions.
Water Gun entered the smoke, but there was no movement at all. It simply passed through to the other side of the smokescreen, clearly missing. At this moment, the smokescreen also spread to Poliwag's side. Poliwag was temporarily unable to distinguish Charmander's location.
