“Counter Shield?”

Bai Ze raised an eyebrow slightly, recognizing this battle method that was no different from the tactic Ash had created in the Sinnoh region in the anime TV. His expression showed no great surprise.

Although netizens in his previous life revered it as a god-tier tactic, as if with this one tactic alone, Ash’s battle prowess had been infinitely elevated…

He wouldn’t deny it.

Ash indeed had a lot of ingenuity in impromptu battles.

But,

This was merely ingenuity.

Such ingenuity was happening every moment in the world of Pokémon… invisible tri-color bubbles, disappearing String Shot arrays, tracking-deployed Stealth Rock…

Perhaps rare in the TV world.

But in the special manga series.

If you didn’t have a couple of unique and ingenious special moves, you wouldn’t even be embarrassed to have a name!

True powerhouses, top-tier trainers,

Such as the Kanto Elite Four Champion, Pokédex holders, Team Rocket’s Giovanni, which one of them hadn’t already developed a mature battle style and utilized and trained certain Pokémon abilities to their extreme?

Even the cleverest tactics have methods to break them. Only a mature battle philosophy and the excavation of a Pokémon’s potential are the fundamental paths to true strength!

Therefore,

Facing Blaine’s Torkoal’s Flame Wheel tactic, which was gradually going to envelop more than half of the battle platform and turn it into a fiery domain, Bai Ze actually didn’t take it too seriously.

To break it, honestly, there was more than one method.

But the real difficulty.

Or rather.

What he truly focused on was the extreme high temperature of Blaine’s Torkoal’s Fire-type moves, which was different from the usual!

“Must test its limits…”

Bai Ze’s gaze flickered. He lightly called out to Gardevoir, who was automatically hovering and constantly using Psychic to resist the spreading flames: “Gardevoir, increase output, try to grab it with Psychic!”

“Gar~de~”

Gardevoir nodded slightly, waved her hand, and a pale purple Psychic hand instantly materialized, descending directly towards Torkoal.

Sizzle—

However, at the moment of contact, this Psychic big hand was singed by the outer flame ring, burning and licking layer by layer, like peeling an onion.

Before it reached halfway, the pale purple Psychic hand was already less than a meter in diameter.

It looked like it was about to be burned away completely…

“Gar~de~!”

Gardevoir frowned at the sight, her vast eyes seemingly shooting out rays of fighting light, and the Psychic Orb on her bracelet also burst forth with great light.

Instantly.

The Psychic hand, which was less than the size of a normal person’s palm, immediately solidified again.

Its lines were lifelike, as if substantial!

Then, this palm-sized Psychic hand completely ignored Torkoal’s scorching inferno of flames, breaking through layers of flame rings one after another, directly grabbing towards Torkoal’s still-rotating body.

“Good kid…”

Blaine stroked his beard and smiled, seemingly greatly appreciating Bai Ze’s direct and central response. He unhurriedly commanded: “Torkoal, Eruption!”

“Woo~hm~”

Buzz—

Torkoal let out a soft cry. Accompanying it, rolling steam accompanied by thick smoke spewed out, encircling Torkoal’s body in a fiery red, like burning charcoal.

And the Psychic hand, which had treated the inferno of flame rings as nothing, dissolved and evaporated rapidly like butter upon contact.

In a short while, the Psychic hand, which was as substantial as real, was completely gone…

“Hahaha, how about it? Have you witnessed the scorching appearance of Fire-type Pokémon?” Blaine seemed not in a hurry to counterattack. After evaporating Gardevoir’s Psychic hand, he laughed heartily: “These scorching flames are the greatest charm of Fire-type Pokémon!”

This was a lie!

However, words were also weapons, a manifestation of battle strategy… Moreover, Bai Ze had already seen through Torkoal’s battle style and essence!

Looking at Torkoal, which was once again spinning in the field, raising its flame ring, and confronting Gardevoir head-on.

“It seems Gym Leader Blaine is really going all out…” Bai Ze shook his head and chuckled: “But if I’m not mistaken, this Torkoal has abandoned its already weak speed and chosen a defensive counterattack style, right?”

“…”

Blaine’s expression froze.

And Bai Ze continued: “As for scorching flames, it would be better to say that this Torkoal’s strongest and most powerful weapon is its extreme heat, far surpassing its kin, isn’t it?”

“…Hahahahaha!”

Blaine was momentarily speechless, but then, he couldn’t help but let out a long laugh, and simply said directly: “You saw through it in just one exchange?”

“You guessed right on everything, but how do you plan to break this situation?”

Blaine looked at Bai Ze with anticipation in his eyes.

He was truly looking forward to it, looking forward to this young man in front of him displaying even more excellent and dazzling brilliance. He might be old, but he still possessed a battle heart as hot as fire!

“Battle is nothing more than advancing and retreating. Since Gym Leader Blaine’s Torkoal is holding its ground, then we shall break the extreme with the extreme… a direct charge!”

“Gardevoir!”

Bai Ze let out a soft cry. At this moment, his eyes were full of spirit, and his high battle intent seemed to affect Gardevoir: “Let’s decide the victory with one blow! Psyshock!”

“Gar~de~”

Buzz—

Accompanying the soft chant, Gardevoir’s slender arms lifted, and a materialized wave of psychic energy quickly gathered between her palms.

Then, with a clap and pull of her palms, the seemingly ordinary psychic wave that had been floating in front of her was stretched, molded, and condensed into a magnificent psychic spear.

Swish! Swish! Swish!!!

Swish—

As the long spear danced, in the next second, Gardevoir charged straight forward.

The wild psychic energy driven by the move surged like waves, amplified by the Psychic Orb, turning into torrents that pushed away the encroaching flame rings layer by layer.

In the blink of an eye,

She had already broken through the flame rings and approached Torkoal!

“Torkoal, Eruption!”

“Woo~wu~”

With Blaine’s command, Torkoal repeated its trick, and the terrifying high temperature that twisted the air rose with the scorching mist.

And at this moment.

Gardevoir, holding the spear, suddenly twisted her slender waist, gripping the spear with her two small, soft hands, one in front and one behind.

Her body slightly bowed.

Like a Valkyrie on the battlefield.

In mid-air,

Holding the spear,

She swept across!

Sizzle—

The sound of hot charcoal being drenched in water rang out.

Along with the rising heat, the Psychic spear also found it difficult to bear. It had only just touched when it showed signs of melting.

But in the next second,

An explosion roared!

Bang!

A materialized impact erupted from the tip of the Psychic spear, turning into a dazzling pillar of light that directly engulfed Torkoal, which had been swept by the horizontal strike.

Psyshock · Modified · Spear Version!

Terrifying psychic energy mixed with pure, powerful impact, forming a spiral.

It directly sent Torkoal, which had no power to resist, flying.

And continued to push forward.

It almost grazed Blaine by a hair’s breadth, crashing head-on into the rock wall of the high platform behind him.

Rumble—

The powerful blow directly blasted a large hole in the rock wall, including the alloy door inside it. For a moment, dust rose everywhere, and thick smoke accompanied by the impact instantly spread to the volcano’s mouth!
