"Squirtle, Squirtle!" Squirtle jumped in front of Ash, then spewed out a column of water the size of half a fist. To the nearly ten-meter-tall robot, this level of attack was like a tickle.
But if you add Pikachu's Thunder Shock, it's a different story!
"Pika——chu!!" Golden electricity surged from Pikachu's body and intertwined with the water column shot by Squirtle in the air.
Water Gun combined with Thunderbolt, forming the Hydro Electric Cannon!
This move possessed power and piercing strength greater than a regular Water Gun, only achievable through precise and ingenious cooperation of thunder and water flow.
Despite being their first cooperation, Pikachu and Squirtle displayed an extraordinary level of coordination.
The Team Rocket trio controlled the robot to clench its fist and punch out, the air whistling as it moved, the punch heavy as a thousand catties!
"Sizzle!!"
The Hydro Electric Cannon collided with the mechanical fist, momentarily locked in the air, but in just a few seconds, the combined technique from Pikachu and Squirtle actually penetrated the giant robot's fist!
The Hydro Electric Cannon penetrated all the way down, piercing through the robot's entire arm!
The eyes of the Team Rocket trio inside the robot nearly popped out. How the heck did they do that? Their robot isn't made of paper!
Even with Pikachu and that turtle, it shouldn't be possible to completely disable one of their arms, right?
"It's that brat's doing, Meowth!" Meowth was the first to notice something was off.
Behind Pikachu and Squirtle, Ash also raised his hand, a faint blue glow emanating from it.
Though they didn't know what Ash did, there was definitely his handiwork in that attack just now. Otherwise, how could the situation, which was evenly matched a few seconds ago, suddenly end with their robot arm being crushed overwhelmingly?!
"This is your power, Squirtle. Don't doubt yourself because you were abandoned by a Trainer. Your potential is to surpass all Squirtles. For the sake of your little brothers, defeat them completely, use Skull Bash!"
Ash passionately urged behind Squirtle, facing a Pokemon that has been belittled and abandoned by a Trainer, causing it to doubt its own abilities, the only thing to do is to fiercely instill confidence in it.
Don't care whether he's helping Squirtle "cheat" or not, as long as Squirtle hasn't noticed, it was the power emitted jointly by him and Pikachu.
Previously weak power was purely due to the lack of a good team partner. In reality, he is very strong—Ash wants to give Squirtle this kind of confidence, paving the way for its future.
"Squirtle, Squirtle!" Squirtle also couldn't quite believe that this was an attack it could perform, but under Ash's encouraging words, it mustered its strength, the eyes beneath its sunglasses sharpening, and then its short legs suddenly kicked out!
Its round head aimed at Team Rocket's cockpit, its whole body shot out like a rocket—Skull Bash!
Behind Squirtle, Ash focused and gathered Aura at his fingertip, forming a marble-sized blue Energy Ball at his fingertip.
'Miniature Aura Sphere.'
"Sizzle!"
The nearly imperceptible Aura Sphere, along with Squirtle's Skull Bash, crashed hard into Team Rocket's cockpit. In an instant, that once invulnerable cockpit barrier was pierced with a large hole!
The Team Rocket trio inside hastily moved to the side, narrowly avoiding being struck by Squirtle's Skull Bash and Ash's Miniature Aura Sphere.
But with the Miniature Aura Sphere breaching the defense and Skull Bash breaking through the wall, a large hole appeared at the robot's center. Wisps of electricity flickered at the edge of the hole, as if it could explode at any moment…
