Chapter 150 ends. Lin Jian faces the chapter. Shinji's disappointment?
"Oji!"
The power emitted during Pokémon evolution, and Cyndaquil... no, I should say Cyndaquil's Blaze, are also playing a role.
The two forces complemented each other, and in an instant, they completely suppressed the power of the little fire monkey's extremely special flames.
Just before Chimchar was knocked away by Rockruff, the flames on Chimchar's body surged towards Rockruff for a brief two seconds, and this strange phenomenon only disappeared completely when Chimchar landed.
"Ouch..."
After being knocked away, the little chimpanzee's bright red eyes gradually faded, and it returned to calm.
However, it's unclear whether it's because its fierce fire has been weakened to a level it can control, or because it doesn't want to fall now, here.
The little chimpanzee, whose stamina should have been exhausted long ago, was still half-paralyzed, supporting itself only with the little strength left in its arms.
"..."
Ash looked at Chimchar with a complicated expression.
Chimchar managed to maintain a semblance of rationality as it looked at Ash.
As if they were confirming each other's wishes, after an extremely brief eye contact, the little Chimchar, with power from who knows where, stood up once again on its legs, with flames burning fiercely behind it.
Is that all?
Seeing this scene, Xiao Guang didn't know how to describe his current feelings.
Despite barely interacting, Ash and Chimchar seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, or perhaps there's some kind of unspoken bond between them.
No words are needed; they can understand each other's feelings simply through eye contact.
Just before the flames ignited, Chimchar's gaze wasn't on Shinji, but on Ash.
Dawn, standing next to Ash, noticed this immediately.
But why did Ash go to such lengths to help Chimchar? It would have been so easy for Ash to end the match.
Could it be that...
Thinking of this, Hikaru quickly shifted his gaze to Shinji.
More accurately, it involves constantly shifting between Shinji and Chimchar.
Ash did this so that Shinji would understand—
......
"We have to continue."
Ash saw that Chimchar refused to fall down and understood what it was thinking.
Even a casual observer who doesn't care about Pokémon battles could see how things were going on, but despite this, Chimchar still wanted to have one last battle with Ash.
"Oji!!"
Chimchar rode its Flame Wheels toward Rockruff. Although its power was not as great as when it went berserk, it was definitely under Chimchar's control.
"Flame Wheel!"
Ash was naturally unwilling to back down when faced with the challenge from Chimchar.
Now that they are on the battle stage, since Chimchar hasn't given up the fight, neither he nor Cyndaquil, as Chimchar's opponents, will choose to back down.
"MA!"
Cyndaquil also wrapped itself in flames. With the boost from evolution and the power of Blaze, Cyndaquil's Flame Wheel was significantly more powerful than Chimchar's Flame Wheel.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two fiery wheels finally collided.
The result is obvious.
After letting out a scream, Chimchar was knocked away by Rockruff and crashed nearly ten meters away, eventually losing its ability to battle.
"Chimchar is unable to battle!"
The referee breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chimchar finally fall down.
If Chimchar gets up again, it will be a test of his conscience, since Chimchar really can't fight anymore... The miracle of getting up to fight again and again is indeed inspiring, but it is ultimately the Pokémon's willpower that makes it through.
One or two times in the same round is fine, but what about three, four or more times?
......
"..."
The referee announced that Chimchar had lost its ability to battle, and Shinji didn't say a word, not even the simplest word of comfort.
"I give up the fight."
The next second, Kaoping shook his head, adjusted his glasses, and decisively chose to give up.
"Keep fighting, there's a chance to win."
Shinji said.
"That's too difficult~ I have no intention of giving it my all in this kind of competition. After all, I'm better at reading the room, right, King Hippo?"
Upon hearing this, the Hippo King crossed his arms and nodded naturally in agreement.
As a Pokémon, it did not question Koppin's judgment, but instead chose to support it.
And so, amidst the applause of the crowd, this combination competition, which could be described as full of twists and turns, finally came to an end.
.......
evening.
In the woods near the competition venue.
"..."
Shinji walked over and, without saying a word, silently released the little fire monkey.
After receiving treatment and bandaging, the Chimchar was covered in bandages all over its body. After meeting Shinji's indifferent gaze, the Chimchar hurriedly lowered its head.
It failed again.
It understood perfectly what Shinji wanted it to possess, but it...
"You should know what I'm trying to say."
Shinji looked at it and said this.
"..."
The little chimpanzee's body trembled visibly, and it cautiously raised its head, as if it wanted to say something.
"You can't control the raging fire I want right now."
However, Shinji did not give it that chance.
"And your performance on the field today was still as weak as before. Once the raging fire erupted, you lost all rationality and acted on your own. If it weren't for that fire rock rat deliberately helping you share the power of the raging fire, do you think you would have been able to return to normal later?"
"Ouch..."
The little chimpanzee kept its head down, not daring to reply.
Because it knew that Shinji was right, and it truly had no way to control that power.
It can't even keep itself awake, let alone master it; its power is simply a hindrance.
That's all I wanted to say.
Shinji closed his eyes, didn't turn around, and continued talking to himself:
"So, do you have anything to say? Why have you followed us all this way?"
"..."
After Shinji pointed it out, Ash didn't continue to hide, or rather, he never intended to hide in the first place.
"Tsk, this is really annoying."
Shinji frowned, his tone somewhat displeased.
"You came here for this guy, didn't you? You're after his talent?"
Shinji said this, but after seeing that Ash didn't react, Shinji calmed down, crossed his arms, and quietly revealed the truth.
"Or was it the act of igniting a fire within you that moved you?"
Shinji certainly understood.
After seeing that Chimchar still couldn't control the power of the raging fire, and after giving Chimchar a disappointed look, Chimchar's attention had already shifted to Ash.
For a moment, Shinji felt that the little fire monkey had finally recreated the miracle of raging fire when its stamina was pushed to the limit.
But then he realized that this guy, who had boundless talent but was extremely weak, had only ignited the flames in response to the hopes of trainers as weak as himself.
This is also what Shinji was most disappointed with.
