He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4383 High-level Ball, Ash vs. Mirat!

Soon, Ash and Mirat set up their battle arena in the open space in front of the Battle Pyramid.

Galar's official drone, Rotom, was also in position, hovering in mid-air with its camera pointed at the trainers on both sides.

Yashida and the others stood in the spectator area. The former pushed up his sunglasses, looking excited.

Steven, the current representative of the Hoenn region, has successfully entered the top eight of the Master Ball level, which is quite stable.

Although the Battle Frontier and Hoenn regions are located close to each other, most trainers still consider them to be different systems.

Therefore, when they face the Trail Blazers, they need a representative player who can make a name for themselves and reach the top eight in the Masters category!

Mirat was the one he chose.

But this time, his opponent happens to be Ash.

Ashida's face tightened; now she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it!

"The World Championship Senior Ball Ranked Match is currently underway!"

The sound of the drone Rotom came from above.

"The two players facing off are Ash, ranked 40th, and Mirat, ranked 26th!"

"Each side can use four Pokémon. The match ends when all of a side's Pokémon are unable to battle!"

Ash and Mirat nodded at the same time, standing at opposite ends and each taking out a Poké Ball.

"It's up to you!"

"let's go!"

As the red light faded, it would be absurd for Mirat's starting lineup to be a tree—

From the battle zone, there are many narrow paths or dead ends. If you see a strange tree growing in the middle of the road, it is most likely a wild tree.

On Ash's side, a red light fell, revealing Mr. Mime.

"Bari!"

Upon entering the scene, Mr. Mime tugged at his collar and then stylishly took off his suit and tossed it behind his back.

Xiao Zhi smirked and quickly held up his clothes.

Battle begins!

"Mr. Mirage, use hypnosis!"

"Tree? No way! Double-edged hammer!"

The moment a hypnotic glow appeared in the pupils of Mr. Mime's eyes, Susanoo charged forward.

Its entire body was covered in a grayish-brown glow, and a pair of sharp stone horns extended from the front of its head!

They unleashed their ultimate move right from the start!

Mirat curled the corners of his mouth. His Tree Monster had the Hard Head ability, so his moves wouldn't cause any damage back, allowing him to use such powerful self-sacrifice moves at will.

In terms of attributes, Tree Monster also has the advantage.

"Bari!"

The Mr. Mime quickly changed tactics, withdrew its hypnotic gaze, turned around, and vanished from the spot in a flash.

Instant teleportation!

Throat! Throat!

The double-edged hammer missed its target, and the tree monster plowed out an exaggerated furrow in its wake.

However, it had barely gained its footing when Mirat gave the order:

"Use imitation!"

The same strange light shone in the tree's eyes.

Whoosh!

The next instant, it also disappeared from its original spot and suddenly appeared behind Mr. Mime.

An arm made of three fruit balls glowed with a bright green light and slammed down without hesitation.

boom!

The Mr. Mime was immediately struck on the side by the mallet, and flew sideways, looking quite disheveled.

Ash frowned. Had he been eyeing this move from the very beginning?

Sure enough, trainers who reach this ranking are bound to be strong, and the pressure is immense right from the start.

The trainer in front of me, whose legs look like they're on stilts, is at least a League Elite player.

Hep and Mary exchanged a glance, their expressions both turning serious.

"Bari!"

The Mr. Mime stood up again, wiped his mouth, and looked serious.

Xiao Zhi understood and immediately shouted:

"Counterattack! Use mental power to strengthen your resolve!"

Mr. Mime's eyes instantly glowed blue, and a massive surge of psychic power rushed forward, freezing Sudoku in place.

Mirat reacted extremely quickly, immediately shouting: "Spirit Strike!"

The tree monster's body was unable to move, but sharp stone blades quickly condensed around it, swirling around it a few times before shooting towards the Mr. Mime!

"Bari!!"

With a low shout, the Mr. Mime's eyes shone brighter and its mental power exploded, actually binding all the flying stone blades in mid-air!

Mirat's expression changed; what powerful mental strength!

This time it was Ash's turn to smile. You see, Mr. Mime had been spending most of his time meditating and training, apart from the daily affairs of the castle.

It even willingly went into the Poké Ball, which it usually disliked.

Moreover, the castle doesn't need much management anymore.

Therefore, the improvement in mental strength has yielded remarkable results!

"Bari!"

The Mr. Mime's gaze turned serious.

The stone blades in mid-air were all reversed under the control of telekinesis, and shot back towards the location of the Tree Monster.

Mirat had no choice but to change his tactics, shouting:

"Instant teleportation!"

The tree monster suddenly vanished from its spot, and all the sharp stones and blades missed their mark.

Whoosh!

When it reappeared, it was already behind Mr. Mime.

Mirat waved his hand and launched a surprise attack:

"Now! Double-Edged Hammer!"

A grayish-brown light once again enveloped his entire body, and with sharp stone horns pointing forward, Tree Monster charged wildly toward the back of Mr. Mime.

However, a sneak attack from behind is of little significance to a wave guide user or someone with strong psychic abilities.

"Use white mist!"

Mr. Mime immediately locked onto Judas's location, turned around, opened his mouth wide, and a thick cloud of icy mist instantly engulfed Judas, obscuring his vision.

Tree Monster charged into the white mist, lost his aim, and his double-edged hammer missed again.

Before the fog could be cleared, Ash's next attack had already begun.

Freeze-drying!

The Mr. Mime pushed out his hands, and a bone-chilling cold spread and surged wildly along with the white mist!

The mist instantly crystallized, freezing along with the trees within it into an ice sculpture with snow-like edges.

The only downside is that Ice-type moves only deal double damage to Rock-type opponents.

Mirat reacted quickly, almost without hesitation:

"Use Flame Fist!"

Inside the ice, the fruit ball arm of the tree monster suddenly burst into flames.

Sizzle—!

The Flame Fist burned the ice shell from the inside, quickly melting the ice and snow completely.

But no wonder the tree had just regained its vision when it saw that Mr. Mime had somehow closed in.

His eyes gleamed with a dangerous and mysterious purple light.

"Now! Icy gaze!!"

Two beams of purple light shot out from the eyes of Mr. Mime, striking Sudoku's pupils with precision, like laser beams.

Shu Cai Guai was shocked and felt a strange sense of fear and chill.

The next second, I suddenly found myself unable to move!

"nonsense.?!"

It stood frozen in place, trembling all over, struggling desperately, but to no avail for the time being.

"Is this... being frozen?"

Off the court, Ashida took off her sunglasses, looking confused.

Although its combat skills are average, its vision is exceptional.

I've never seen it frozen like this before!

Mary, being a local, was aware of the situation.

This is a move, or rather, an exclusive ability, from Galar Articuno.

A "frozen state" originating from the mental level cannot be melted or dispelled by a physical fiery fist! (End of Chapter)
