Gary explained to Ash, who was puzzled: "Ash, you've been a Trainer for so long, don't you know that if you're hit by a Poison-type move, there's a chance your Pokémon will be poisoned?"
"And in close combat, even if it's a physical move, if you make contact, you might get poisoned."
"What! There's such a thing?"
This was the first time Ash had heard of such a thing.
"I really don't understand how you got five badges. Golbat, use Cross Poison to deal with Pidgeotto," Gary ordered.
"Pidgeotto, hold on, use Quick Attack!" Ash shouted loudly.
"Pidgeotto!"
Pidgeotto shook his head, regaining a bit of consciousness, and he jumped lightly, flapping his wings, and used Quick Attack to meet the attack.
Pidgeotto and Golbat collided with each other.
Bang!
The two Pokémon collided and bounced off, and the poisoned Pidgeotto was not in good condition and fell to the ground again.
"Supersonic!" Gary saw that Pidgeotto was not easy to take down, so he decided to confuse it.
"Golbat!"
Golbat turned Supersonic into a straight sound wave and hit Pidgeotto.
"Pidgeotto!"
The harsh Supersonic made Pidgeotto fall into confusion. Now, Pidgeotto was doomed.
"Pidgeotto, come back." Ash immediately recalled Pidgeotto to the Poké Ball.
Gary did not stop Ash from recalling Pidgeotto. Anyway, it was already poisoned, and even if he took it back to remove the confusion, it wouldn't have much effect.
"Pikachu, please." Ash decided to send Pikachu onto the field without hesitation.
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu immediately rushed out from Ash's side.
"Phew! Fortunately, he knows how to use Pikachu," Misty breathed a sigh of relief. She was very worried that Ash would send Bulbasaur out.
"Golbat, come back and rest." However, Gary recalled Golbat.
Ash's Pikachu is formidable, and Gary didn't want to take any chances, especially with a Pokémon that had a type disadvantage.
Ash should keep the title of reverse type master for himself.
"Primeape, you're up." Gary threw the Poké Ball.
Great!
"Primeape!"
Primeape, with a spherical body, appeared.
"Oh, it's Primeape." Seeing Primeape, Ash said with surprise.
Seeing Ash's reaction, Gary said: "Why? Do you have any objection to me having a Primeape?"
"No, it's just that I also captured a Primeape," Ash said.
Gary suspected that the Mankey he captured was not the same as Ash's, and it turned out to be true. In this way, Gary felt that his luck was not bad, at least he encountered a wild Pokémon with quasi-elite potential.
"Then will there be a battle between Primeape?" Gary asked.
"Forget it, I left my Primeape at the Fighting Spirit Gym for training, and I didn't bring it with me," Ash said. Gary was speechless. What do you mean by keeping Primeape for training? You've become a master, but you still haven't brought Primeape back.
"You're so confident. If you let others breed and train your Pokémon, can it still be considered your Pokémon?" Gary said.
"Primeape loves fighting, so I left Primeape there," Ash retorted.
"I won't argue with you. Let's fight quickly," Gary was too lazy to argue. With Ash's stubborn personality, he would definitely not listen.
Especially in this case, it can't be said that Ash is wrong. He just cares too much about the Pokémon's own ideas.
"Pikachu, use Thunder Shock!" Ash ordered.
"Pikachu!" The red dots on Pikachu's cheeks emitted golden electricity, and a scattered Thunder Shock shot out.
"Dodge."
Primeape performed agile movements and barely avoided Thunder Shock.
In reality, the attack speed of Electric-type moves is notoriously fast, with a high hit rate, and it is difficult to dodge.
"Fury Swipes!"
Primeape took a step forward and quickly slid in front of Pikachu, punching Pikachu with both fists. It was more like Comet Punch than Fury Swipes. His fists kept landing on Pikachu, knocking it back repeatedly.
Although Pikachu was passively beaten, he defended well. It was obvious that he had received some basic boxing training and knew how to defend. However, even so, Pikachu was still knocked back several meters.
"What a fast speed. Pikachu, let's use Agility," Ash ordered.
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu ran quickly, his body flashing on the field.
Primeape's eyes swayed left and right, constantly chasing Pikachu's figure, and then slid to the track of Pikachu's advance and threw a heavy punch. Pikachu immediately swung his tail to counterattack.
Bang!
Although Pikachu fought back, there was a big gap in physical strength between the two sides. Pikachu's use of elemental energy was far from the level of the world competition and was directly forced back by Primeape's power.
Ash suddenly felt a headache. He had owned a Primeape before and felt that Gary's Primeape was even more difficult to deal with than his own.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt." Ash could no longer bear it and asked Pikachu to use the strongest Electric-type move.
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu was bathed in golden thunder and used thunder to destroy the darkness. A golden electric current attacked Primeape like a thunder snake.
"Stone Edge!"
Primeape punched the ground under him.
Bang!
The ground collapsed, and stone pillars emerged from the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Thunderbolt dissipated after shattering a few stone pillars, but the stone pillars that emerged from the ground did not stop. A stone pillar emerged from under Pikachu and pushed Pikachu directly into the sky.
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu was very surprised. After so many battles, this was the first time he saw Stone Edge, and he had no idea how to defend himself.
"It's time to end it. Use Mega Kick!" Gary ordered.
Primeape immediately rushed out and quickly came to the landing point of Pikachu, with his right foot shining white.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt quickly," Ash shouted hurriedly.
Pikachu couldn't move in the air, but it could still release Thunder Shock. It knew how terrible Mega Kick was. Pikachu didn't hold back and released all the electricity in its body.
"Pika... Chu!!"
The golden thunder fell, and Primeape couldn't dodge in time. He was hit by Thunderbolt, and his whole body was bathed in golden thunder. The violent power of thunder and lightning kept ravaging every inch of Primeape's skin.
"Primeape!"
Primeape endured the ravages of thunder and endured the pain. The anger in his heart became more violent, and the energy on his feet became more condensed, and he carried Thunderbolt down.
"What!"
"Pikachu!"
Ash and Pikachu were both shocked. They didn't expect Primeape to be so resistant. Pikachu's Thunder Shock is very strong. Normal Pokémon can't withstand it.
