Pokémon: Simultaneous time travel, this Ash is too versatile!

Chapter 273 The Abandoned Monkey's Last Song, Dragon-Type Ultimate Move, Reverse Scale!!
Under the explosive charge of Flare Blitz, Abandoned Monkey flew backwards to the edge of the field, while Arcanine remained in Flare Blitz stance, poised against Abandoned Monkey, seemingly determined to wear down the last bit of Abandoned Monkey's stamina.

"Now! Fist of Fury!" Ash showed no sign of panic at the plight of the abandoned monkey; everything was under his control.

At this moment, the most dangerous creature is not the Forsaken Monkey, but the Arcanine!

At this distance, with Flame Charge active, it's practically impossible for Arcanine to dodge or use Protect to block Forsaken's Rage Punch. So, this punch is bound to hit him!
The abandoned monkey kept one arm in front of him, while the other hand was already on his waist, gathering strength to throw a punch!

"Boom!!" An extremely terrifying black shadow flew out from the Abandoned Monkey's fist, transforming into an extremely oppressive fist. The black fist shadow was even larger than Arcanine's size.

The Arcanine, still engulfed in flames, was blasted away by the giant black fist and exploded mid-air!
"Boom!!" The Fist of Wrath struck directly, and a huge plume of smoke filled the center of the arena. The Forsaken Monkey remained standing in the same position, still in the punching stance. Judging from his continuous panting, he had not yet lost his ability to fight.

Meanwhile, Arcanine in the smoke was in a completely different situation. The sudden turn of events left Gary dumbfounded. Just moments ago, Forsaken was being relentlessly suppressed by Flare Blitz, so how did the situation reverse in the blink of an eye?
And what the hell was that punch? Why was it even more powerful than the previous ones?!

When Abandoned Monkey defeated Alakazam with its Rage Punch, Gary noticed that Abandoned Monkey's Rage Punch seemed to have become more powerful. If it were just a slight increase in power, he might not have noticed it with his sharp eyes, but the power was almost doubled. It would be strange if he didn't notice.

But at that time, Xiao Mao didn't take it to heart. He just thought that the abandoned monkey might be having a final burst of energy before death, which was why it was able to throw such a punch.

However, to everyone's surprise, this last burst of energy went too far, and it's still going strong!
This punch was much more powerful than the one he used to hit Alakazam, and it wasn't just a little bit stronger.

What? So the lower the health, the higher the attack power, right? But that doesn't feel right. When fighting Alakazam just now, Monkey King's health should have been almost at its lowest point.

If we quantify stamina, then the Abandoned Monkey's stamina should not exceed twenty points. Now, after being hit by Flame Charge, even if it manages to absorb the damage with Endurance, it will only reduce its stamina from twenty points to one.

With just a little less stamina, how did the power of this Fist of Wrath undergo such a qualitative change?

If the previous Fist of Wrath was a high-level skill, then the current Fist of Wrath has reached the level of a top-level skill, namely the level of explosive burning.

The terror of an explosion and combustion without side effects is self-evident. The punch that the Abandoned Monkey just threw was an explosion and combustion without side effects, but the price might be that his own physical strength was reduced to its lowest point...

Is this some kind of skill like resurrection?

As Xiao Mao was filled with doubt, the smoke and dust on the field slowly dissipated, revealing the figure of Arcanine lying on the ground, seemingly unable to stand up again.

With a single move, Gary instantly defeated Arcanine. Gary had actually anticipated this situation. If Arcanine hadn't lost its ability to battle, it would have definitely rushed out of the smoke and delivered the fatal blow to Monkey King.

However, after nearly ten seconds, there was still no movement inside the smoke, so it would be strange if Arcanine could still fight.

However, when Gary actually saw Arcanine fall down, his eyes were somewhat dazed, and he felt a great sense of loss.

Why... why, even though it was so close, was there no way to defeat the Abandoned Monkey?

If there was absolutely no hope before, then this was the greatest hope yet. But despite such a great hope, the fully-powered Arcanine was instantly defeated by the opponent, who even used the Extreme Speed ​​Combination Technique that he and Arcanine had been training for who knows how long.

The combination of Swiftness and Flame Charge makes this move an absolute killer for first-time players.

However, he ultimately lost. Gary helplessly recalled Arcanine, and Ash, seeing Gary's expression, moved his lips slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

He believed that Xiao Mao would pull himself together.

Gary didn't disappoint Ash. After his initial helplessness, he took a deep breath and his face regained its fighting spirit.

He still has four Pokémon left, and the outcome is still uncertain, so why should he give up?

"The third one, I choose you, Pidgeot!" Gary's third Pokémon, Pidgeot!

Normally, it has a speed of Mach 2, and after training, it can even reach Mach 3 or Mach 4, which is equivalent to three or four times the speed of sound. In terms of speed, even among all Pokémon, Pidgeot's speed is quite impressive.

Furthermore, sending out Pidgeot can achieve a comprehensive suppression of Abandoned Monkey in terms of type. Abandoned Monkey's Ghost type is ineffective against Pidgeot, and Pidgeot's Flying type is also super effective against Abandoned Monkey's Fighting type.

Actually, Pidgeot would have been a better second Pokémon to appear than Arcanine, but Gary was too eager to succeed and wanted to completely overwhelm Abandoned with an absolute first move!
On the other hand, it was also because Gary was too wary of Ash. Even though Abandoned was in a state of near collapse, he still felt that Abandoned had the power to turn the tide.

That's why he wanted to get rid of the Abandoned Monkey as soon as possible, but he ended up losing both his wife and his army. He not only failed to kill the Abandoned Monkey, but the Abandoned Monkey also turned the tables and defeated the Arcanine instantly.

The Pidgeot that Gary sent out was only at the intermediate professional level, which was indeed a bit low compared to the previous two Pokémon. However, it was already a mainstay in Gary's team. Apart from Blastoise and the first two Pokémon, Pidgeot was the fourth highest level.

This is why Gary didn't use Pidgeot when facing the Forsaken Monkey; choosing to trust Arcanine was one factor, but the level difference was another.

However, right now, there's no Pokémon more suited than Pidgeot to deal with Forsaken.

"Pidgeot, Gary has such a troublesome Pokémon..." Ash also felt uneasy after seeing Pidgeot. Other Pokémon would be fine, but Normal-type Pidgeot is immune to Forsaken's Rage Punch.

If the Monkey cannot defeat the opponent in one move, it will be at a great disadvantage.

In this situation, the best course of action would be to recall Abandoned, but after Ash and Abandoned exchanged a glance, Ash understood Abandoned's thoughts: he wanted to continue fighting! Regardless of winning or losing, he wanted to fight to the very last moment as the end of his first battle after evolving.

"I understand. Let's continue with Abandoned Monkey and show Gary our perseverance!" Ash nodded, deciding to let Abandoned Monkey continue to battle!

"Are you still going to use Abandoned Monkey in this situation? If I didn't know you, I would have thought you were trying to get me Ash, but I won't hold back. Pidgeot, use Air Blade!" Continuing to fight with a Pokémon that has almost no stamina in this situation is just suicide, isn't it?

But this person is Ash. Until the very last moment, you never know what kind of power his Pokémon can unleash. Even if you're lying on the ground, as long as you haven't lost your ability to battle, he might suddenly jump up and slap you to death!

Although this description is a bit far-fetched, this is Gary's impression of Ash. This guy is a miracle in himself, so it's not surprising that something unreasonable happens to him.

At Shigeru's command, Pidgeot flapped its wings in the sky, scattering countless blades of pure white energy.

The air blades fell like a dense rain, sealing off all possible escape routes around the Abandoned Monkey. It seemed the Abandoned Monkey had no choice but to take the hits head-on.

"See through it." With Abandoned Monkey's current strength, even if it uses Protect, it will be difficult to defend against so many air blades. As long as Pidgeot continues to attack, Abandoned Monkey will inevitably be worn down.

Therefore, Ash chose to use a defensive move of the same level as Protect, See Through!
The "See Through" technique allows the user to identify weaknesses in all attack paths. If the user can dodge, their body will automatically dodge. Only when dodging is impossible will the "See Through" technique control the body to block the opponent's attack with minimal damage.

Essentially, this is a skill similar to "Guard". As long as the opponent's attack level is not much higher than your own, you can completely avoid the damage.

Moreover, this move consumes less power and focuses on dodging, but there are always downsides as well.

The downside is that if you encounter an attack that you can't dodge, you will be injured by the attack, even if the damage is only slight. But if you are injured, there is no point in using the ability to see through things, at least for the current Abandoned Monkey.

Even the slightest damage would probably defeat the current Abandoned Monkey, so the Abandoned Monkey can only dodge all attacks and not get even a single hit!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!" The air blades kept falling in the air, and the abandoned monkey on the ground kept dodging the air blade attacks by the slightest difference, with not a single unnecessary movement.

The only sounds on the field were the constant dodging of the Forsaken Monkey and the slicing of air blades hitting the ground.

A barrage of sharp blades struck the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. After more than ten seconds, Pidgeot finally stopped its attack.

The figure of the abandoned monkey on the field was obscured by the billowing smoke and could no longer be seen.

"Abandoned Monkey, use Reverse Scale!!"

Xiaomao:? ? ?
The surrounding audience: ? ? ?

This phrase, "Outrage," completely baffled Shigeru and the surrounding audience. As everyone knows, Outrage is a Dragon-type move, a desperate move used by Dragon-type Pokémon to turn the tide when they are in dire straits.

Once the skill's duration ends, the user will attack indiscriminately, regardless of whether the user is friend or foe.

Even among Dragon-type Pokémon, this is an extremely difficult skill to learn. How can a non-Dragon-type Pokémon like you use Outrage?

"Could it be that the Abandoned Monkey has dragon attributes?!" If Shiba was very excited when he saw the Abandoned Monkey before, then now it's Adu's turn to be excited.

If the Abandoned Monkey really has the Dragon type, he wouldn't mind getting one. After all, it can learn Outrage right after evolving, which shows how pure its Dragon type is!

Even for Pokémon with dragon names like Charizard and Aerodactyl, learning Outrage is extremely difficult.

But now, a monkey has actually used Outrage after evolving! And you still say you're not a Dragon-type Pokémon?!

……

Regardless of the shock of those around him, the Abandoned Monkey had already unleashed its Reverse Scale attack. This move unleashes all of its power, resulting in a chaotic and violent rampage. It has significant side effects, but its power is also extremely strong.

The figure of the Abandoned Monkey burst out of the smoke, its fist, as big as a casserole dish, slammed into Pidgeot's body, and then switched to kicking Pidgeot's abdomen. At this moment, its limbs seemed to have turned into a fighting machine, constantly bombarding Pidgeot's body. Due to the enormous force, Pidgeot even stopped in mid-air for a moment and did not fall down!

Pidgeot was being relentlessly attacked by Abandoned Monkey, and a look of pain appeared on its face. Although Outrage did not have a type advantage effect, the original power of the move was simply too strong. In addition, Abandoned Monkey was a level higher than Pidgeot, and Abandoned Monkey's attack power exceeded its own level. If this machine gun-like attack continued, it was hard to say whether Pidgeot could withstand it.

"Pidgeot, get away quickly and fly away!!" Gary shouted, urging Pidgeot to leave, but Pidgeot was already completely caught in the vortex of Abandoned Monkey's punches and kicks and couldn't get out.

He is now under attack from head to toe. He can only survive if he finds an opening in the Abandoned Monkey's attack or manages to push the Abandoned Monkey away while enduring the attacks. However, both of these conditions are very difficult to meet.

Now, the Abandoned Monkey is fighting like a desperate man, because he knows this is his final act.

When the Abandoned Monkey's attacks have a lull, it means that the Abandoned Monkey has burned out.

"Boom!!" With a final loud bang, the Abandoned Monkey finally exhausted all its strength and fell from the sky.

Along with Pidgeot, it also plummeted down. Seeing this, Ash rushed onto the field and, in the blink of an eye, reached the center, catching the falling Pidgeot safely. Pidgeot, however, didn't have such a powerful trainer to help it, and it fell directly to the ground with a dull thud...
