Chapter 368 Go and defeat it!
Chapter 368 Go and defeat it!
A dark purple flame suddenly flashed in everyone's sight.
The thunderbolt, which was less than half a meter away from Infernape, fell straight to the ground.
"It was dodged?!"
Although everyone had already anticipated the speed of Infernape.
However, when they saw that Infernape, with only a sliver of energy left, had unleashed such terrifying speed to dodge the Thunderbolt, which should have been impossible to avoid, they couldn't help but marvel.
"Hold on!"
Of course.
The speed of Infernape at this moment cannot be compared with that before.
After all, the previous Infernape could only achieve such imperceptible speed by using Mach Punch at its peak, while the current Infernape possesses this speed innately and does not require any additional skills.
Unable to track the opponent's movements, Shinji could only have Electabuzz take defensive measures first.
Speed has never been Electabuzz's strong point, but rather Infernape's.
Electabuzz is superior to Infernape in terms of its strength.
But now, with the blessing of Blazing Fire, and this Blazing Fire that looks somewhat unusual, Infernape has...
What will the outcome be?
"boom--"
"?!"
None of the people present reacted at that moment.
Even Electabuzz, who was in the middle of a battle, didn't react in time.
A loud bang rang in my ears, followed by the feeling of my body being pushed backward.
Take a closer look.
The figure shrouded in dark purple flames had already appeared before them, still in a punching motion.
Even under the protection of Guard, Electabuzz retreated several meters. If it had been hit head-on, it would have been in serious trouble.
Electabuzz: "..."
Electabuzz's expression froze completely.
It's very clear.
The frail figure I remembered is no longer frail; perhaps in its eyes, it is I who is frail.
"BI!"
The mere thought of being weak in the eyes of others caused Electabuzz's pride to begin to stir restlessly.
It immediately lowered its arms and stared intently at the Fire Monkey that was looking at it.
Even if it's strong, so what?
Electabuzz knew very well that as long as its attack hit it once, it could win the match.
Electabuzz's idea was not wrong, because no matter how much Infernape's power increased, it could not hide the fact that its current condition was already very bad.
but--
Can it hit?
Electabuzz didn't seem to have thought about this at all.
Sonic Punch!
Ash and Infernape became one in their minds.
This is not simply using waveguide power for silent command; it is even faster than waveguide command.
Because Ash and Infernape share the same idea, not two separate ideas.
Their tacit understanding reached its peak at this moment. Not only were their eyes and consciousness bound together, but even a single glance was enough for them to understand each other's thoughts.
Therefore, rather than the Infernape launching its attack under Ash's command, it is more accurate to say that it is fighting based on its own will, supplemented by Ash's experience.
The difference may seem small, but the actual results are worlds apart.
"Oji!"
The Infernape disappeared again.
"Hold on!"
Even before Shinji gave the order, Electabuzz had already set up a protective barrier.
Because it knows it can't catch Infernape's shadow, nor can it withstand its attacks, it has to use the Guard move.
"boom--"
"BI?!"
Infernape's fist landed on the barrier.
In this round, Electabuzz's body was sent flying backward.
Didn't it get blocked?
wrong.
Shinji clenched his teeth and pondered.
No matter how strong the power, it shouldn't be able to break through the defense. Even if the attack was indeed very powerful, it would at most knock the Electric Beast away, and wouldn't cause it any real damage.
What exactly is it?
Shinji carefully observed the Electabuzz flying backward, and when he saw the flames coming out of the Electabuzz's hands, he seemed to realize something.
"100,000 volts!"
"Flame Jet!"
Shinji immediately had Electabuzz launch a counterattack in mid-air.
Just like what Infernape did before.
Although Electabuzz couldn't steady itself, it wasn't difficult for it to use Thunderbolt after accurately positioning Infernape.
However, Electabuzz's Thunderbolt was somewhat inferior in the face of Blaze's enhanced power.
The 100,000 volts was instantly consumed by the blackish-purple flames the moment it clashed with the jet flame.
Get out of the way!
However, thanks to the collision of the two skills, the Electabuzz in the air managed to find a bit of power.
That's how it managed to spin around and narrowly avoid the attack of the flames.
Sonic Punch!
Swah——
As Infernape disappeared again.
Electabuzz, who had just breathed a slight sigh of relief, tensed up again.
This time, without Shinji's command, Electabuzz, which had just landed, erected its barrier once again.
boom!
The Sonic Punch once again slammed into Electabuzz's barrier without holding back.
The immense impact sent Electabuzz flying once more.
In this round, Shinji finally realized why Electabuzz was still injured even after using Protect.
This guy's attacks deal additional damage...
It sounds absurd, but that's the truth.
The instant Infernape's Mach Punch hit, another gust of wind flew over the barrier and indirectly struck Electabuzz.
That extra attack also transferred the flames from Infernape to Electabuzz.
monster.
Shinji does not like to exaggerate the strength of his opponents.
Even after Shinji fought Kamishiro and was completely defeated by him, he did not give Kamishiro such an evaluation.
But this one is the only one.
It made Shinji truly feel a pang of fear.
Keep in mind that it hasn't fully grown yet. Ash seems to have only trained its speed and combat skills so far. Later, it will increase its attack power, along with this strange and fierce fire state.
Will there really be any Pokémon in the world that can defeat it?
wrong.
It should be said that it was them.
Shinji hadn't forgotten that Infernape alone couldn't master this power. Even when it was a baby Infernape and was pushed to the brink, the power of the Infernape it unleashed was still incomparable to the Infernape it had now.
That's amazing!
Shinji couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Lightning Fist!"
Flame Wheel!
"BI!"
"Oji!"
The two figures rushed towards each other.
A dazzling light filled the entire arena the instant the two skills clashed.
After the light disappeared, only Infernape remained standing on the field. Electabuzz, which had been defeated by Infernape, had completely lost its ability to fight. Its entire body was covered in charred black color, and it lay motionless on the ground.
The outcome of the battle was obvious.
This time, even Reiji forgot to announce the outcome of the match for a moment. It wasn't until Shinji recalled Electabuzz that Reiji finally raised his hand to announce the result of this round of battle.
"Electabuzz is unable to battle!"
......
at the same time.
On a tree in the distance.
Several figures were holding binoculars, watching the entire battle between Ash and Shinji.
"Hey, isn't that guy a little too overbearing?"
"What I'm saying is, what's with that shape? It doesn't make any sense at all. Even TV shows wouldn't dare to film something like that!"
"This guy, the Pokémon that was abandoned by that cold-faced guy, what a blind man!"
Team Rocket's three members unexpectedly passed by Lake Wisdom and bumped into Ash and Shinji fighting there. So they skipped their part-time jobs and perched on a tree, intently studying the battle.
In the previous rounds of Ash and Paul's battles, Team Rocket had actually learned a thing or two, but after watching this round, they just looked at each other in bewilderment.
What a load of rubbish!
How do I learn this?
Whose Infernape can transform?!
The Rockets trio felt as if their common sense had been severely challenged.
At the same time, I was also thinking about what would happen if I gave this Infernape to Giovanni, and whether Infernape or Pikachu was stronger.
......
"You're probably the only one in the world who can create such a powerful fire."
After recalling Electabuzz, Shinji remained silent for a long while.
Ash and Infernape are waiting for Shinji to send out his last Pokémon.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for so long, it was Shinji who expressed his approval before Tsuchikage.
"However, I will not lose in the next round."
After Shinji finished speaking, a look of confidence in his victory flashed in his eyes, and he threw out the last Beast Ball.
As the earth turtle appeared, a loud booming sound rang out at the scene.
The Earth-Platy Tortoise's eyes were completely different now than when it first appeared.
Clearly, when Torterra saw what Infernape looked like, it realized that this was an opponent it would have to fight with all its might to defeat.
"Game start!"
Lei Si's voice rang out.
The Inferno Monkey, already in its infernal state, didn't have time to continue recalling Shinji's words of approval.
Instead, all the flames vanished along with them, just like every previous attack.
The difference is that Shinji's Torterra doesn't use moves like Protect, or rather, Shinji never intended for Torterra to learn such a move in the first place, because—
boom--!
A powerful explosion rang out.
In the blink of an eye, Infernape blasted Torterra's head with a Mach Punch.
The flames on its body burned away the Earth-Turtle's stamina.
just.
The Earth-Turtle, which took the hit head-on, didn't even change its expression; it simply took a small step back.
"No way? They blocked an attack with that kind of power?!"
"What an amazing defensive capability. Shinji really knows how to take advantage of the Tortoise's turrets."
"If I'm going up against his Earth Tortoise, I definitely can't use my Emperor Naboo."
The spectators almost simultaneously expressed their amazement at the Earth-Turtle's defensive capabilities.
Shinji, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened, as if he had foreseen this scene all along, and immediately sounded the horn of counterattack.
"Ultimate Absorption!"
Flame Wheel!
The countless vines that had sprung up during the battle against the Swim-Style Weasel have awakened once more from the earth, displaying their terrifying power.
Each vine was thicker than Infernape's waist, and almost instantly they wrapped around Infernape's body, illuminating it with a deep green light.
It was as if it wanted to absorb all of Infernape's remaining energy in an instant.
However, with Ash's support, it would be easy for Infernape, which is known for its speed and agility, to dodge this attack. But the reason Infernape didn't choose to dodge was because it didn't think there was any need to dodge at all.
Before those life-giving vines begin to sprout.
The flames on Infernape's body had already begun to burn fiercely.
The dark purple flames, far hotter than ordinary flames, burned almost all the vines to ashes in the instant they ignited.
Under the cover of flames and ashes, the figure that was heavily surrounded just a moment ago is now looking down at the earthen tortoise below from mid-air.
Its defense is very high, and even if there is an elemental advantage, the power of ordinary attacks is not as good as one might imagine.
The Infernape stared intently into the distance.
It requires greater strength and more powerful skills.
In order to defeat this existence that it could not reach before.
Fear? Admiration?
Have it.
After all, it had sparred with the Earth Tortoise quite a bit before, and had been taught a lesson by it many times.
In the past, in Chimchar's world, Torterra was the most powerful creature it could frequently encounter.
Although I always sparred with it and ended up in a terrible state.
But Chimchar never stopped wanting to catch up with and surpass it.
Now that the opportunity is right in front of it, how could it not cherish it?
Is that so?
The two are of one mind and body.
Ash could understand what Infernape was thinking, of course.
He could understand and sense the elation and overwhelming new power that Infernape was feeling at that moment.
(Then let it bloom here!)
In his mind's eye, Ash and the Infernape, whose figure was beginning to become somewhat illusory, stared at each other.
They were both sensing each other's thoughts.
Ash is, after all, a trainer, so naturally he has to make the final decision on many things.
So he said—
"Go."
"Unleash your true power! Then, defeat the opponent you've always admired!"
