Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 366 First Battle, A Victory!

coming.

The atmosphere became tense the moment Infernape appeared.

Those who understand the reason for Ash and Paul's battle know that all the previous battles were just ordinary preludes. In the end, the real protagonist of today's battle is actually the test of the bond between Infernape and Ash. If Ash fails to enable Infernape to master the power of Blaze...

So even if Ash really did completely defeat Paul, it wouldn't mean anything. It would only show that Ash was better than Paul in his role as a trainer and had stronger command skills.

As for Shinji's somewhat extreme beliefs, they are difficult to refute.

"Has it finally arrived?"

As Shinji spoke, he exchanged a glance with Infernape.

.

But in that one glance, he noticed that Infernape was different from the ones he had seen before.

At least now it dares to look up and meet his gaze. Putting everything else aside, it has grown quite a bit in terms of courage and no longer seems so timid.

However, while we can observe, the true measure of strength will ultimately be revealed in battle.

"return."

Without saying a word, Shinji first retrieved his Turtle.

He had no intention of using Torterra to battle Infernape; all he wanted to do right now was test Infernape, and Torterra wasn't the most suitable candidate.

However, some groundwork needs to be laid before sending out the most suitable candidate.

"Aggron, prepare for battle!"

Shinji made up his mind and then sent out Bosscodora to fight.

"They sent out Aggron again?" Hikari was a little surprised. "I thought Infernape's opponent would be Torterra, after all, isn't Torterra Shinji's ace Pokémon? Why switch Pokémon at this time?"

Xiao Guang, adhering to his excellent habit of asking any questions he had, turned to Xiao Gang and asked him this question.

Brock couldn't give a completely accurate explanation either, since he couldn't guess Shinji's thoughts, but perhaps—

"Perhaps it's because Shinji thinks that Infernape has no chance of winning against Torterra, and there's even a possibility that it will be easily defeated by Torterra. If it is defeated, Infernape cannot be summoned."

Call it arrogance or meticulousness.

The only undeniable fact is that Torterra's strength is indeed in a class of its own within Shinji's team.

If Infernape and Torterra really clash, Infernape probably won't be able to be summoned.

Although it might not be the best way to put it.

But Brock always felt that Shinji sending out Aggron was a little...

What does it feel like to offer a sacrifice?

It seems that in Shinji's eyes, Aggron's current state is just right to reduce Infernape's stamina, but it is absolutely impossible to defeat it.

I'm not sure, let's wait and see.

Xiao Gang thought to himself.

"Game start!"

"Sonic Fist!"

Xiao Zhi did not hesitate.

They immediately seized the initiative, allowing Infernape to get close to Aggron.

The speed of the Infernape truly surprised everyone present, including Shinji.

A red figure streaked across the field, leaving a white arc in its wake. The next second, Aggron had taken a solid punch to the face from Infernape.

"So fast!"

Ah Xun exclaimed in shock.

Logically speaking, while Mach Punch is indeed very fast, its speed is based on Infernape's own speed. However, the Mach Punch that Ash's Infernape unleashed felt like Quick Attack from a Flying-type Pokémon.

It's even much faster than that.

There wasn't even a moment to react.

After taking a solid punch, Bosscodora took two steps back, a hint of anger flashing in its eyes.

It couldn't accept the reality that it was hit without even having time to react, and that the one who did it was someone who was originally a drag on their team.

A tremendous roar filled the entire arena; clearly, Bosscodora was in its most furious state of the day.

The former was tricked by Torterra using Leech Seed and Protect, and now it has been punched unilaterally by Infernape.

Aggron's power is subtly rising.

Shinji showed no reaction to this, simply giving the order: "Charge at the cost of your life!"

"Roar!"

Aggron roared as it took heavy steps, relentlessly closing in on Infernape's position.

"Dig a hole."

Ash didn't actually think Infernape would lose to Aggron.

From the previous battle with Aggron, Ash had already realized that Shinji's Aggron didn't seem to have any ranged attack methods other than the Cannon, otherwise his Torterra wouldn't have been able to fight so easily.

Given its heavyweight status and lack of a ranged attack that allows for rapid deployment, Infernape essentially has no chance of falling to Aggron.

"Oji!"

Infernape leaped down to the ground and instantly disappeared into the earth.

Aggron's heavy body stepped over the hole dug by Infernape.

"Use the laser cannon at the cave entrance!"

Shinji had already guessed how Ash would command Infernape to dodge this attack.

So Shinji's attack command and Ash's dodge command sounded almost simultaneously. Aggron also used all its speed to gather a beam cannon and fired it at the hole dug by Infernape.

But just as Ash thought.

This kind of skill, which doesn't charge up very quickly, is almost impossible to hit with Infernape, which has extremely high speed and agility.

The moment the Cannon shot was fired, Infernape emerged from the ground, positioned directly behind Aggron. The Infernape that emerged from the ground swung its fist and punched Aggron in the chin.

The cannon, which was still firing, was instantly interrupted by Infernape's attack.

"Flame Wheel!"

"Oji!"

After punching Aggron in the chin, Infernape's body spun once in mid-air.

But its attack did not end there.

A flame wrapped around Infernape's body as it spun, spinning around it like a wheel.

The two attacks were almost instantaneous; Infernape, riding its flames, slammed directly into Aggron's back.

These two solid blows caused Aggron's consciousness to begin to blur slightly, and its legs, which had been firmly planted on the ground, began to tremble slightly.

"A major shock."

Shinji's command made everyone present break out in a cold sweat for Aggron.

Having just been attacked three times in a row by Infernape, Aggron should not have recovered from the blows yet, but Shinji still gave the order to attack without hesitation.

"Roar--"

but.

Perhaps this reflects Shinji's philosophy on raising Pokémon.

No matter how badly you are injured, no matter how many setbacks you suffer in battle, as long as you haven't fallen, you must continue fighting with your strongest spirit, without any delay or hesitation.

Boscodor stomped his feet on the ground, burying them deep to stay conscious.

Then, just like at the beginning, Aggron continued to run heavily toward Infernape's location.

Their momentum has indeed not diminished at all compared to the beginning.

"Dig a hole."

Ash didn't understand what Shinji was planning either, since after repeating this cycle, he couldn't find a way to break the deadlock.

This is what it says——

Based on Ash's understanding of Shinji, he wouldn't fail twice in the same place; Shinji might be holding some trump card he hasn't used yet.

What exactly is it?

"Oji~!"

Before Ash could figure it out, Infernape burrowed back into the ground.

Aggron's body stopped again as it passed the cave entrance. Just when everyone thought Shinji was about to have Aggron use its beam cannon on the cave entrance again, Shinji surprised everyone by revealing his trump card that he had been holding back.

"earthquake!"

"!?" xN

This moment.

Everyone present was stunned.

earthquake?

Did Shinji keep this skill hidden until this moment?

He could have used this move in the battle against Torterra, and he could have even had Aggron use Earthquake when facing Infernape's Dig in the previous round.

There was absolutely no need to wait until this moment.

Or was all of Shinji's forbearance just to lower Ash and Infernape's guard?

There's something I don't quite understand.

Regardless of whether they understand it or not, if this earthquake successfully hits the Infernape that uses Dig, it will definitely be instantly defeated.

"come out faster!"

Ash understood this, so he immediately shouted.

But as soon as Ash uttered those words, he realized that something seemed amiss.

From the moment the earthquake command was issued to when he called for Infernape to come out, only two seconds had passed. In those short two seconds, Aggron did nothing except move a few steps.

Could it be...?

Shinji—!?

The ground beneath Aggron's feet loosened, and without even needing Shinji's prompting, a white light enveloped Aggron.

A major shock!

"Go back quickly!"

"It's fake?!"

Xiao Zhi's reaction was slightly faster than the others present.

They finally realized it.

The earthquake was just a smokescreen. Shinji's Aggron doesn't actually know how to use earthquakes, but the moment he shouted it out, he completely fooled everyone.

By now, it was too late for Infernape to cancel its action.

As soon as Infernape emerged from the ground, it was met with Aggron's enormous body, covered in light, which magnified rapidly in its pupils.

"boom--"

"Oji!"

By the time it realized what was happening, Infernape's body had already been sent flying backward, as if it had been hit by a huge truck, with no chance to resist at all.

"Cannon beam".

Shinji said coldly, intending to have Aggron deliver a fatal blow to Infernape in mid-air.

The cannon beam was fully charged and fired with maximum power.

"Use a sonic punch on the ground!"

The scene was still so similar.

In mid-air, Infernape suddenly opened its eyes, white light gathering on its fists, and its descent speed increased slightly as it threw a punch.

The Cannon Lightning Blaster narrowly missed Infernape, traversing through the air and drawing a perfect silver-white arc.

"Flame Jet!"

"Oji!"

The Infernape hadn't completely landed yet, but having regained its senses, it unleashed Flamethrower at Aggron in mid-air without hesitation.

Although the power was reduced due to the distance, Aggron, which was already at its limit, could not withstand much damage. At this moment, even the slightest bit of damage could completely deplete Aggron's health.

"Sonic Fist!"

"Stop them!"

The battle on the field has now entered its final stage. Ash and Shinji have no intention of using any more tricks; they both want to fight to the very end with their last breath.

"Oji!"

With a flash of white light, Infernape disappeared from its spot once again.

However, Aggron and Shinji had already witnessed Infernape's speed, so the moment Infernape disappeared in this round, Aggron knew how to counter it.

Its entire body is covered in armor, so the only way to deal effective damage to it is to attack its face.

"boom!"

really.

Just as Aggron put its arms over its face, Infernape's fist landed on its arm.

Protected by its armor, Aggron didn't suffer much damage this time, but it had reached its limit. Even if it used all its willpower, it could only unleash one more attack.

"Cannon beam!"

"Flame Jet!"

In the final round, both sides unanimously chose to compete in skill speed.

Shinji knew that Aggron's beam cannon was slow to use, so he gave the order before Ash did.

only.

Willpower has its limits.

The accumulating injuries, coupled with the successful hit of Aggron's skill earlier.

All of these factors caused Bosscodora's concentration to decrease.

In this round's skill speed contest, Aggron's gathering speed was slower than in any of the previous rounds.

Even after the flames had completely engulfed its body, the cannon that Aggron had mentioned still failed to fire.

As the flames disappeared, Aggron's stamina also vanished, and its heavy body collapsed to the ground, completely losing its ability to fight.

"Aggron is unable to fight!"

The highly anticipated Infernape's first battle has finally come to a victorious end.
