Pokémon: Ash's New Journey

"Heracross, use Megahorn and tear up the entire battlefield!"

"Swellow, use Aerial Ace to shred the ground debris into dust, then unleash a maximum-strength Hurricane, spinning it like a tornado!"

Everyone held their breath, their eyes wide open!

Nobody wanted to miss a second of this thrilling battle!

Especially Tucker's fans!

They had never seen such a powerful challenger before!

So strong!

Tucker was on the defensive from start to finish!

"Wow, Ash is amazing, much stronger than anyone Tucker has faced before. He truly lives up to his reputation from so many league competitions."

"Both are using combo moves! It's exciting to see Tucker's fire and water fusion in action again!"

The audience erupted into even louder cheers, while Tucker, though captivated by the applause, kept his gaze fixed on Swellow and Heracross, who had both completed their moves.

Tucker gaze froze in shock!

Suddenly, a massive, ash-brown tornado appeared, seemingly ready to engulf the entire battle dome!

"This is my combo move with my Pokémon – I call it the Earth Storm! Go, Earth Storm!" Ash shouted.

Using Heracross's tremendous strength, they ripped up chunks of the battlefield.

Swellow's Aerial Ace shattered the debris into dust, which was then swept up by Swellow's full-power Hurricane, creating the brown tornado before them.

This combination move was Ash's counter to Tucker's fusion move, and he had designed it to overwhelm the opponent entirely. The Earth Storm!

The only downside was that Swellow hadn't yet learned the Tornado move, so they had to use Hurricane instead, slightly limiting its potential power.

Fire and Water Fusion vs. Earth Storm!

The fusion attack was instantly countered as the debris nullified the fire and water combination.

A perfect counter!

To Tucker's utter shock, his powerful fusion technique was completely neutralized and wiped out so easily!

After annihilating Tucker's Fire and Water Fusion Attack, Earth Storm continued its assault on Swampert and Arcanine.

Nobody could see clearly!

After the whirlwind died down, the entire battlefield was shocking…

The field was left in utter disarray, with pits and holes everywhere.

No, it couldn't even be called a battlefield anymore, because it had been destroyed!

The ground was littered with craters.

While, Swampert and Arcanine lay defeated...

At the same time, Ash heard a notification from the system in his mind:

"...Swampert and Arcanine have lost the ability to continue battling, so the winner is the challenger Ash from Pallet Town!"

The announcer regained their composure and declared the result, with the crowd erupting into thunderous applause. Tucker, acknowledging this was still a match, accepted the outcome. He personally handed Ash the Symbol of Tactics Badge.

"Great, I 've earned the Gold Tactics Symbol!"

"Pikachu!"

"Swellow!"

"Heracross!"

Pikachu, Swellow, and Heracross all celebrated together!

Afterward, Ash allowed Scott to inform the media that they could start the interviews.

During the press conference, Ash brought Misty, May, and Brock along to be interviewed.

He introduced them, and soon many people following the tournament learned about this, getting to know the group.

Ash's mom, Delia, called right away to congratulate him, saying he was amazing and now even being interviewed on TV.

The neighbors were all so proud, and Delia was overjoyed!

Professor Oak also sent a congratulatory message. Surprisingly, Ash also received a call from his first rival, Gary.

But by now, the two had long since buried the hatchet and were true friends.

As Ash and his friends were about to leave the battle dome, they found someone waiting for them.

"Hello, my beautiful lady. The name's Brock, and my goal is to become the world's greatest... huh?"

But Brock's enthusiasm deflated as the woman ignored him, her gaze fixed instead on Ash.

Brock's inner world crumbled…

"Ash, congratulations! If you have time, you should visit the Unova region. There are Pokémon there that you've never seen before. When you come, you can challenge my gym. I won't go easy on you!"

This was the first time that Elesa had ever spoken so much in one go.

"Of course, I'll definitely challenge Nimbasa Gym."

Ash replied with a radiant smile, a glint of determination in his eyes.

Elesa instinctively avoided Ash's gaze, unable to resist his charm!
