"Electabuzz, thank you, you did your best!"
With only her last Pokémon left, and facing Rhydon who had perfectly restrained himself and was almost perfectly healthy, Macy still chose to not give up, so she took out her last Poké Ball.
"I will never give up, please, Quilava!"
Obviously, this Quilava is Macy's Starter Pokémon, her current strongest Pokémon and the one she trusts the most. At least she wants to defeat this Rhydon, this is what Macy's only thought at this moment!
Her level is indeed far behind Ash, but she has also worked hard to collect all the eight required Gym Badges and come here to participate in the Silver Conference, so she must not give up and must fight until the last moment because that is her Pokémon Way!
Ash could also understand her thoughts, so he did not choose to replace his Rhydon, "Macy, let's fight a final battle without any regrets! Rhydon, you know what to do!"
Many large chunks of rocks were smashed by Rhydon again, but Quilava was obviously much faster than Slugma and Electabuzz.
"Quilava, use Flame Wheel after avoiding those rocks!"
This is the signature move of the Cyndaquil Evolution Line. After all, they can easily curl up their bodies into a ball and roll around. Of course, Ash's Typhlosion has learned much more stronger skills under him now.
All those rocks were avoided by Macy's Quilava. The fireball hit Rhydon directly, and the high temperature also slightly gave a trace of black on his rock armor.
But neither Ash nor his Rhydon took this attack seriously at all. Instead of their body burning, their fighting spirit was burning, "Hammer Arm!"
This is one of the strongest move of the Fighting-type, and its power was obviously very terrifying. This is an attack that Ash specially trained hard with Rhydon for his evolution.
Rhydon's evolved Rhyperior has very strong arms with terrifying power!
BOOM!
Rhydon hist the ground hard where Quilava was standing. The flames dissipated and heavy dust rose on the field because of the heavy impact. This blow was truly terrifying!
"Quilava!"
Macy screamed, but Quilava had already lost her ability to fight anymore!
"The arm hammer skill is showing its power. This move is really amazing. Trainer Ash's Rhydon defeated the three Pokémon of Trainer Macy without looking the slightest bit of injury!
This is something that I have never witnessed in my 10 years of being a professional commentator here!"
"ROAR!"
Rhydon roared to the high heavens. Training with Ash and all of his other Pokémon's, especially his Tyranitar, made him become this strong!
Ash took him back to his Poké Ball and said, "It's time for you to evolve!"
"Ash, thank you, you are really strong! Thank you for fighting with me until the end!" Macy came to Ash to show how much she was convinced by his strength.
According to the rules of the preliminaries, a victory over one of their opponents will get 3 points, a defeat will get no points, and a draw will get 1 point each. When the three battles are over, the person with the highest cumulative point will be able to enter the next round of the tournament.
Now, Ash had already got his first 3 points. Next, it's time to watch Macy's battle with another Trainer from Group H.
In the second round of the Silver Conference Group H in the preliminaries, the one who entered after Macy was...
Of course, Ash and his team were paying close attention to this battle. After all, Macy's opponent would have a battle with Ash later on.
Unexpectedly, this young man actually appeared in front of the giant live broadcast camera, wearing a cape and making a high-profile appearance, "Jackson from New Bark Town is here!"
This guy is honestly such a joke.
Ash hopes that during the battle, his IQ will not be lowered by this guy.
Form what Ash saw, it was pretty obvious that this Vincent boy is really a bit too stubborn and also to full of himself for his own good. He actually did send out a full Water-type team against Macy. He sent out a Golduck, a Quagsire and a Poliwhirl as his three registered Pokémon's.
But this time, Macy's team did not have an Electabuzz, but instead she replaced him with a Starmie, perhaps to a stop her opponent from bringing out a Ground-type or Rock-type Pokémon.
As Ash said, she just has a preference for the Fire-type.
After her battle with Ash, her Slugma evolved into a Magcargo. After a long battle, both sides only had their last Pokémon left with them.
Macy's Quilava versus Jackson's Poliwhirl!
"Okay, I'm going to work hard and burn it out till the end! Quilava, use Flamethrower!" Although facing a full Water-type team, Macy was still in her very high-spirited form.
"It's not that simple!" Jackson on the opposite side thought he looked very handsome wearing a cape, but when he was about to give the order, he accidentally stepped on the cape and fell to the ground.
His Poliwhirl looked back at Jackson to make sure that he is okay, no longer even caring about Quilava's attack!
How could Quilava and Macy not use such a gift? The Flamethrower hit the Poliwhirl against the wall, and it immediately lost its ability to fight.
Only then did Jackson react, but he had already lost the first round of the preliminaries at that point!
"Poliwhirl lost its ability to fight, Quilava won this battle, so the winner is Macy from Mahogany Town!"
In this way, Ash and Macy each scored 3 points. In the next match between Ash and Jackson, even if it is a draw, Ash will still successfully enter the next round.
However, Ash smiled and said, "How can there be a draw? I will definitely win against this guy!"
Back at the Pokémon Center, Ash happened to see Jackson talking on the phone with Professor Elm.
"Uncle Elm!" Molly approached Professor Elm and greeted him happily.
Seeing Molly, Professor Elm immediately smiled and said, "Well if it isn't Molly, how have you been? Have you eaten anything yet?"
"I'm doing perfectly fine. Big Brother just bought me a very tasty sandwich!" Molly said with a smile, obviously very happy after her lunch.
Seeing Molly's happy look, Professor Elm also smiled and said, "By the way, Molly, your dad just contacted me and said that he is on his way to Silver Town!"
"Is Daddy really coming over?" Molly was pleasantly surprised. She hadn't seen her father for a long time now and deeply missed him everyday.
"Ash, are you there too?" Professor Elm called over.
Ash came over quickly.
"Ash, Ranger Mason said that Larvitar and Tyranitar are now living happily in Mt. Silver. This is all due to your hard work, thank you for that!" Professor Elm and Professor Oak are both very thankful to Ash about this.
Jackson recognized at a glance that this was the opponent taht he was going to fight against next, "It's you! You are Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. I have heard the Professor mention you before, you must be powerful! Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Jackson and I'm from New Bark Town!"
Ash shook hands gently with Jackson, "Nice to meet you. So it looks like you too know Professor Elm!"
"I got my Starter Chikorita from Professor Elm when I went on my journey!" Judging from his age, he should be Casey's senior. Even though they are of different years, Jackson was unable to participate in the last Silver Conference because he forgot to sign up.
And now he was still very unlucky. He had already lost the first match in the preliminaries and had to battle Ash of all people next.
Professor Elm really did feel bad for Jackson knowing that he could defeat Ash by any way.
"I heard that your Chikorita has evolved into a Meganium!" Professor Elm revealed Jackson's information unceremoniously to Ash.
"Then how come you didn't use it just now?" Misty asked very confused. If Meganium was used, it wouldn't be so hard to fight against that Starmie.
"Of course you didn't see it. I wanted to save my strength for the next round of the tournament, so I didn't use my Meganium. That's why I lost the battle!" Jackson's words made Ash not know how to think anymore.
The reason why you lost the battle was that you were too high-profile and too flashy. Why did you want to put on such a stupid cape during the battle in the first place, and also performe those very unnecessary actions when giving orders?
Jackson did not put on his cloak anymore when facing against the well known Ash. Apparently he knew that he had no way out and planned to go all out instead of hiding like last time, which did not work anyway.
"Let's have a fight without any regrets!" Ash could fell Jackson's mood. Indeed, such a opponent was worthy of his burning desire to fight. "I'll go first, get ready to get drilled, go Heracross!"
So far, Ash has only sent out the Pokémon's captured in the Johto Region, other than Pikachu, but the combat effectiveness of each of them is already more than strong enough for the Trainers here!
"Go, Azumarill!" Jackson sent out another of his Water-type Pokémon, knows as the "Dragon Slayer" because it had the very strong Fairy-type, but at this stage, Ash knew that it couldn't use any Fairy-type skills!
"Azumarill, use Water Gun!"
The basic Special Attack skill of the Water-type was just a greeting by it, but its power is also quiet good. It can be seen by its reaction that this Azumarill had been trained well by Jackson.
It is of a higher than the level than the three Water-type Pokémon he used when facing against Macy before.
He had no way out and was obviously going all out to face Ash, so he chose to send out all three his strongest Pokémon's for this round. Because he knew there won't be a second chance for him to go to the next round if he lost this battle.
"Aerial Ace!"
Heracross suddenly opened his eyes, opened the carapace behind him, flapped his strong insect wings and rushed towards the incoming Water Gun.
Azumarill immediately adjusted the direction of her Water Gun, but it was still unable to hit the speedy Heracross. Instead, Heracross kep getting closer to her!
"Hera her!" Which basically translated to, "I'm fast as fuk boi!"
Seeing how fast his opponent was, Jackson immediately changed his tactics, "Azumarill, use Icy Wind!"
The cold Icy Wind blew towards the incoming enemy, but Heracross suddenly rose upward and avoided the cold wind. Then it circled in the sky, and then his huge insect horn slammed into Azumarill!
"No, it's to strong!"
Within less than thirty seconds, Azumarill has changed her moves three times, but she still couldn't hit the very big and fast Heracross. Instead, she was hit by its strong Aerial Ace combination with a even stronger Megahorn.
"No time for you to lose your sight!" Ash's attack showed no mercy, "Close Combat!"
Heracross landed on the ground without wasting any of his very precious time. There was light under his feet, and he suddenly came in front of the Azumarill. His strong arms grabbed her pair of ears on the top of her head.
Ash was almost laughing because this is the same Pokémon that had somehow terrorized many Dragon-type Pokémon's with her Ability and Fairy-type.
Heracross exerted a strong force and threw it upwards the sky!
Then his insect wings behind him vibrated at heavy speed, and he chased after the thrown Azumarill. He added his fists and insect horns to his Close Combat, forming a comprehensive blow from all four directions, and knocked Azumarill back to the ground!
"Azumarill loses the ability to fight, Heracross wins this battle!"
"Heracross's Close Combat is such powerful attack! Not many Pokémon can use this move. I really did not expect that Close Combat can be used like this. I have never seen such a strong Heracross in my 11 year of being a Official Battel Commentator!"
Hearing the commentator's exclamation, Ash smiled faintly. This was a formation that he had developed with his Annihilape when he transferred him over. He was merciless when it came to fighting and would seize the opportunity to make the opponent fall if he had the chance!
"Thanks, you have tried your best!" Jackson took Azumarill back, "It's your turn next, go Magneton!"
Jackson's Magneton has no blue and red poles on its body and is completely metallic green-grey. It is obviously a rare Shiny Pokémon!
"Heracross, come back. You did well, partner!"
"Facing Jackson's Shiny Magneton, Trainer Ash has decided to take back his Heracross even though it was perfectly unharmed. But what Pokémon will he send out next?" The commentator also looked very curious about his next Pokémon.
"I spent a lot of effort to get this. It is not an ordinary Magneton taht you can underestimate!" Obviously Jackson is very attached to the appearance of his Magneton.
Ash smiled when he heard Jackson's words, "Get ready for an eruption, Typhlosion!"
"ROAR!"
Typhlosion made a fiery debut, the temperature of the entire venue suddenly seemed to rise by a lot.
Macy, who was watching the battle in the arena with everyone else, was now suddenly starry-eyed, "Wow, it turns out Ash also has a Typhlosion!"
Ash and Brock had already investigated Jacksons Pokémon before the match began. Except for his strongest Meganium, his second strongest Pokémon was this Shiny Magneton.
He has no second chance, so he will definitely send his strongest Pokémon's to face Ash's unbeaten team.
Do for thsi round, the Fire-type Typhlosion is the best choice to deal with Jackson's Magneton!
Looking at Ash today, Brock was really looking nostalgic, 'I still can't believe this is the same boy who dared to send a Pikachu to fight my Onix. He has now grown so mature!'
"Magneton, use Thunderbolt!"
Seeing the incoming Thunderbolt, the smile on Ash's face became even bigger. This is the time to use one of his favorite moves, "Typhlosion, Eruption!"
The volcano was ready to erupt!
Ash's attacks are mercilessly quick. The more energy that his Typhlosion has when using Eruption, the more powerful the attack will be. So now that his Typhlosion has just appeared, it is naturally at his most strongest form!
And recently, his Typhlosion has been receiving training from Entei himself under Ash's order!
The crimson red flames easily defeated Magneton's Thunderbolt and rushed towards it!
"No, Magneton, get out of the way!"
Magneton is always suspended in the air by using his power over electromagnetism, so its mobility is obviously much higher than most Pokémon.
Finally, it and Jackson was able to react quickly enough to successfully avoid most of Ash'sTyphlosion's Eruption range!
"So strong!" Jackson's face froze, "Lets go, Magneton, use Thunder Wave!"
After barely being able to avoid the dangerous Fire-type attack, Jackson decisively started to counterattack. Thunder Wave trailed along the ground, which was a skill that is able to paralyzed an opponent.
He hopes to paralyze Typhlosion and make him unable to move for some time!
But Ash, as an expert in using electricity, obviously can't let this one slide.
"Flamethrower!"
Typhlosion had not moved slightly his feet from where he was standing from the beginning of the battel to now. The flames were sprayed out ready to burn something, but all Magneton can do is dodge for now, there is no other way to go about it!
"Magneton, use Double Team!" Flamethrower hit a one of the clone, Magneton was able to escape again.
"Keep it like this and use Tri Attack!" It was impossible to use Thunder Wave right now, so Jackson could only bite the bullet and launch the attack.
Tri Attack is a very powerful versatile Normal-type Special Attack. It was one of the stronger Normal-type Special Attack, it can shoot out three types of light with three different types: Ice, Fire, and Electric. While causing lots of damage, the opponent can also fall into the condition of being Frozen, Burned, or Paralyzed!
Apparently this is also one of Magneton's secret skills!
Now under Double Team, Jackson thinks this wave of attacks should be able to do some damage!
As long as any kind of Status Condition is caused to Typhlosion, the balance of victory can tilt in his favor!
"Use Lava Plume!"
However, Ash will not let that slide and chose to of his own thsi g against this Tri Attack, and also he didn't intend to find out which one of them was the real body using the Tri Attack!
So he decided to use a range attack that will hit everyone!
Hot molten lava spread around Typhlosion, not only destroying the Tri Attack, but also ready to do lots of damage to the real Magneton!
"Typhlosions Lava Plume skill is so beautiful used, no matter how many clones Magneton has, it will still be hit! This is something I never saw before in my 12 year career!"
As the commentary voice fell, Magneton's true form appeared.
"No, Magneton, go up!" At this moment, Jackson could only focus on getting Magneton out of Lava Plume's attack range, but he didn't know that he had made it a living target by asking him to go up!
"Flamethrower!"
Flamethrower hit Magneton head-on, knocking it out of battle! Now, Jackson has only his last Pokémon left while Ash has all three of his Pokémon's that are all perfectly healthy.
