He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4386 Your Pokémon Has a Big Problem!

"."

Mirat lifted the Poké Ball and recalled Dusknoir, his expression much more serious than before.

The opponent truly lives up to his reputation as the previous champion who dominated the Battle Frontier; he's incredibly skilled.

Both this pseudo-legendary Galar and the trainer's command ability, especially the latter.

So strong!

She's not that old!

Unfortunately, I can't use my best abilities—

Mirat can instantly discern the origins of Pokémon and know their homelands.

It then uses a mechanical arm device to throw out the corresponding soil, thereby calming down the unfamiliar Pokémon.

They may even establish temporary command relationships.

Somewhat similar to Pokémon Rangers, they use a hunting dart to establish temporary cooperative relationships with wild Pokémon.

It will be quite useful when operating in the wild.

However, in formal competitions like these, it becomes completely useless.

Mirat took out his third Poké Ball and let out a long breath.

Regardless of winning or losing, we have to fight now. At the very least, we have to take down one of their dogs!

boom!

As the red light fell, Mirat's third Pokémon was also an old acquaintance, a burly, robust gray-brown gorilla with a tangled white mane covering its head.

Slaking, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon from the Hoenn region!

It rivals a top-tier legendary unit in terms of base stats, but due to its frustrating "lazy" trait, it has to rest after every turn.

It's a peculiar existence that trainers both love and hate.

"what?"

Ash raised an eyebrow. Usually, when Slaking asks for leave, he has a lazy expression, lying on his side like a sleeping Buddha, right?

However, this dog that asked for leave stood firmly, its eyes looking bright and alert.

He bared his teeth and raised his fist, looking full of energy.

Of course, the most eye-catching feature is the forehead of the "Fake King," which is inlaid with a grass-green, diamond-shaped gemstone—

It's exactly the same as the green gem on Mirat's forehead.

"That gem."

Ash squinted and looked closely. It was the first time he had seen the gem on Slaking's head, but he felt a strange sense of familiarity about it.

But the battle had already begun, and there was no time to investigate.

Mirat launched the first attack, preparing to press forward in one fell swoop:

"Please, Wang, knock it down!"

"Awooo—!!"

King Succeed roared, raised his thick arm covered in black light, and strode forward.

With each step, the ground trembled!

Despite its bulky and heavy appearance, it is surprisingly fast when it runs.

Ash immediately said, "Use Dragon Pulse!"

In mid-air, Dorambaruto opened its mouth and spewed out a dragon-shaped shockwave!

The latter neither dodged nor evaded, but directly used its large belly to push aside the dragon's wave, and its attack was not hindered in the slightest.

The slam was about to land on Dorombalut's head.

"Doryu!"

Dorombalut immediately leaped upwards, narrowly avoiding the palm strike.

I was still feeling lingering fear when we were airborne.

The blow, delivered with the force of a king seeking leave, was incredibly effective. Will its fragile body be able to withstand it?

However, Ash didn't rush to counterattack during his opponent's lazy turn, but instead kept a close eye on him.

This Slacker King is strange!

Sure enough, the "Leave King" showed no signs of slowing down or becoming lazy.

Mirat's command has been summoned again:

"Shoot it down!"

Slaking immediately leaped into the air, using his brute leg strength to reach a height similar to Dramberto's. This time, his palm, glowing with a rocky gray light, was about to slam Dramberto to the ground!

Xiao Zhi's heart tightened, and he quickly said:

"Use rapid turnaround!"

Dorombalut was also startled, as a mountain of flesh suddenly appeared on him.

Its body instantly transformed into a gray-green energy sphere, slamming into the Slave King's large belly before it could strike, sending it flying backward—

This Slaking is very fast, but in terms of speed, few Pokémon can match Dragapult.

Swoosh!

The next instant, Dragapult transformed into a red light and automatically returned to Ash's Poké Ball.

"This Slaking doesn't have the Sloth ability?!"

"how is this possible?"

On the sidelines, Hop and Mary both widened their eyes, their faces filled with shock.

Slacker is a consensus among all trainers, and neither Ability Capsules nor Ability Balms can change it!

It seems this is the exclusive rule that the world has set for the Slave King:

Since it possesses stats comparable to legendary Pokémon, it must be hampered by its Sloth ability, reducing it to the level of an ordinary Pokémon.

Of course, in some doubles battles, you can take advantage of your teammate's special abilities and moves to temporarily remove the Sloth ability and unleash its full power.

But this is a singles match, and this Slaking hasn't done anything; it entered the battle already in a non-lazy state!?

That's against the rules!

"Hehe~ This is where Mirat, the fake god, came from~"

Beside him, Ashida said with a grin, clearly already knowing this information.

The point is not that this "slave king" is particularly special.

It's because of the green rhombus-shaped gem on its forehead—

It seems to have some kind of magical effect, suppressing the abilities of Pokémon and turning the Pokémon that carries it into a blank state.

For the vast majority of Pokémon, this is an absolutely useless junk item, or even a side effect.

But for the King of Taking Leave, that's a god-tier item!

On the field, Ash's back row Pokémon also took advantage of the rapid turn to enter the arena.

Boom!

Like the King of Leave, it also made a heavy thud when it landed.

In stark contrast to the excited and energetic appearance of the "Fake King," it stood there expressionless, like a large toy doll.

If a character has the "Whiteboard Special Feature: Request for Leave" ability, then its attribute panel will be exceptionally powerful.

Especially its physical attack ability, it is definitely at the level of a legendary Pokémon!

Since it's a power-type opponent, Ash pulled down his hat and said, "Let's go!"

"I've chosen you! Wearing a bear!"

Suddenly, the two Pokémon, which were of similar size, stared at each other from afar.

Is it just another common forest bear from the Alola region?

Mirat had seen this kind of Pokémon before, so he wasn't worried and attacked first:

"Fake King, use your True Qi Fist!"

"Awooo—!!"

Wang clenched his fists, and his fists quickly enveloped in a thick orange aura, rushing out to smash head-on into the bear's face.

Xiao Zhi immediately raised his hand and shouted:

"Next!"

Mirat doubted he had heard correctly.

However, the bear-like figure stood still, raising its two paws to meet the powerful punch head-on.

Boom!

The sound of fists colliding was frighteningly heavy, and the impact force spread from between the two Pokémon.

The sheer power of the fake king was so great that even the bear-wearing creature was forced back three meters by this terrifying force.

"Three meters?"

Mirat's pupils contracted in disbelief.

Only three meters?!

That was a brute force attack that surpassed even a level two god and rivaled a level one god! And it was blocked so easily?!

This bear-clad creature seems to have a bigger problem! (End of Chapter)
