Chapter 139

"Pelipper, use Thunderbolt! Absol, use Night Slash!" After blocking the attack, Ash immediately launched a counterattack. "Captain! Use Volt Tackle to clear away all this fog!" Friede instructed Captain Pikachu to use Volt Tackle, generating a strong gust of air to blow away the surrounding fog. "Pika—chu!" "Ab!" Pikachu and Absol took the initiative. Absol rushed forward and struck the Claydol—which was unleashing Hyper Beam—with a direct Night Slash, while Pikachu's Thunderbolt hit the Bronzong behind it. Both Pokémon were instantly knocked out and fell to the ground. Seeing that the immediate threat was gone, Captain Pikachu began executing Volt Tackle, racing in circles around the room. The massive airflow generated by the attack blew the fog completely away, revealing the entire chamber to the trio. Beyond that, a few bewildered Duskull, Banette, and Drifblim drifted into view.
