Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

"Ahaha, is that so?"

“However…” At this moment, Xiaosheng adjusted his glasses and looked at the battlefield with some surprise.

"Even if it's just a single attack from its main body, we've seen Ash's Swellow before. Slaking withstood a fierce attack from Slaking and was completely unharmed."

"This is really..."

"Kick, kick, kick~"

As the smoke cleared, the Slaking that had been hit by the Great Swan remained unharmed, motionless in the same position as when it had raised its hands to cover its face after landing.

Despite the attack just now, he didn't have a single scratch on his body.

"That's amazing! The teacher's king of taking leave! No wonder he's known as the legendary king of taking leave, who supposedly trained his hands to be as strong as a Steel-type Pokémon!"

Upon seeing the King of Leave display his formidable defensive power, the students of Qianli were all in an uproar.

However, their cheers also brought a message to Ash.

That's right, the way Senri dealt with the forced rest time caused by Slaking's ability was to focus on strengthening Slaking's defense.

Especially its enormous hands, whose defensive capabilities have been trained to the point of being impervious to swords and spears.

Senri was confident that with Slaking's defense, even if Pikachu used Volt Attack, Slaking could block it with its palm.

Faced with the attack of the Swellow, Slaking didn't need to determine which one was the real Swellow.

Its tough fur and paws can block all of an opponent's attacks!

"Now it's our turn to fight back, Wang..."

"Not yet, Your Majesty Yan! Use Tsubame Return! Attack the Fake King's face!"

"what?"

Before the command was even finished, the Great Swallow had already broken free from the counter-damage state caused by the Brave Bird's Fierce Attack.

It quickly flew into the air, then tilted back and fell again, launching the Swallow Return attack just as the King of Suffering lowered his arm and was about to use his skill.

Its speed was so fast that even a thousand miles away couldn't see the Great Swallow's movement trajectory before its attack animation ended.

When facing Slaking, which attacks once and rests once, most Pokémon can only launch two attacks.

However, given Swellow's incredible speed, it can launch another attack during the gap between the time Slaking ends its rest and the time it prepares for its second attack.

While others can only take two hits, Swellow can take three. That's what makes Swellow so powerful.

The students around them were all incredulous at Xiaozhi and Dawangyan.

What surprised Chiri even more was that Ash actually had Swellow attack Slaking's face directly.

"You discovered it in such a short time?" Qianli frowned in surprise, but quickly smiled with relief.

"You really can't underestimate today's young people."

[Ding! Qianli: Affection +5]

The unique nature of the Swallow Return technique meant that Slaking didn't have time to readjust his defensive stance before being struck directly by the sharp beak that appeared before his hands could reach his face.

This was the first time that the giant beast had shown signs of pain from the Great Swallow's attack.

"Good, I knew the key defensive points would be the weak points. Well done, Queen Swallow!"

"Spa, Spa!"

The giant swallow was also happily flapping its wings. The fierce attack from the brave bird in front made it feel like it had crashed into a mountain. It was in great pain, but the other side had not suffered any damage.

He was even mocked by the King of Leave with a contemptuous look, but now he has finally gotten his revenge.

"That's quite an impressive speed. In that case, we won't hold back. Slaking, please grab Swan and then unleash your full power with the Thunder Fist!"

"Great King Yan, use Shadow Clone Technique again!"

"Spar!"

"Ash, the same moves won't work on us. Slaking, sweep it over."

"Kill!!!"

Feeling the pain on its face, the lazy dog ​​was no longer lazy; it gritted its teeth and leaped up.

A thick arm swung around and hooked, instantly turning all of Da Wang Yan's shadow clones into smoke, and then Da Wang Yan caught them.

Slaking, a Pokémon that seems honest and unassuming, has actually hidden its true strength; its speed has increased dramatically compared to when it was first released.

Furthermore, as the final evolution, Slaking finally shed the hook-shaped claws of Sloth and Hyperactive Apus, and its hands have a flexible knuckle structure like those of a human.

It roared and grabbed the Great Swallow's body with one hand, then its other hand instantly clenched into a fist and flashed with several strong electric currents.

The giant swallow was pinched and thrown around, followed immediately by a lightning fist that struck its abdomen.

Slaking, like hitting a punching bag, sent the entire Swellow Pokémon flying, crashing through the gym's ceiling.

"Kick, kick!"

"What a powerful attack!"

Everyone watching was terrified by King Suga's lightning punch, and at the same time, they couldn't help but worry about the Great King Swallow who was sent flying.

This is a strike from Slaking with attack power comparable to Groudon's.

"Although it's not a skill of this type, it's twice as effective against Swellow, and combined with the terrifying attack power of Slaking..."

"The Great Swallow is definitely not going to make it!"

At this point, the students started discussing it animatedly, and even Jin Zhi shook his head and sighed.

"Ash, go outside the gym and retrieve your Swellow. You only have one Sceptile left, so get ready for battle."

But to everyone's surprise, Ash shook his head.

"Not yet! My Great King Yan hasn't fallen yet!"

"Oh, Ash, do you think Swellow can withstand Slaking's Thunder Punch just now?"

"Of course, it's my Pokémon! Swellow!!!"

"Spar!"

At that moment, Qianli immediately looked up and stared at the large hole in the dojo's ceiling.

Sure enough, the loud and clear chirping of the giant swallow soon echoed back from there. Everyone looked and saw the giant swallow appear in the center of the cave, flying back to the battlefield at high speed.

"How is this possible? The Great King Yan hasn't fallen!"

"And it looks like it's flying very nimbly, what's going on?"

Is it really still a giant swallow?

……

"Hmph, that's what you don't understand. The Great King Yan's perseverance can create miracles."

Xiao Yao then fully demonstrated her brilliance, finally allowing her to show off in front of her fellow disciples.

"A miracle of perseverance..." Chisato was also shocked.

At this moment, the giant swallow, its body wrapped in electricity, swooped down, its eyes bloodshot. Due to static electricity, its willpower was truly triggered.

Ash might have thought twice about other attacks, but Thunder Punch really hit Swellow's strike zone perfectly.

It becomes energetic as soon as it is electrified; the BUG Swallow mode is officially launched.

As their attack power increased, they also became bloodthirsty.

Seeing that the distance was about right, Ash immediately shouted, "Swellow, Brave Bird, attack!"

The electric current around him was easily broken, and the Great Swallow was once again enveloped in blue flames.

Qianli could only hurriedly tell Qingjia Wang to raise his arm and cover his face with his palm again to defend himself.

But then, Ash suddenly smiled and called out to Swellow again.

"Lower body, upward flight!"

At Ash's command, the Swellow, which was flying at high speed, slightly adjusted its tail feathers, and its body quickly sank downwards at an astonishing angle.

It then flew vertically upwards, directly impacting Slave King's arm from below.

This flying skill was personally taught to the giant swallow by a muscular man who was an expert in flight.

With such immense power, Slaking's arm was instantly knocked away by Swellow, and then wings wreathed in blue flames swept across Slaking's face, sending it flying with tremendous force.

Slave King's heavy body crashed directly into the dojo wall, raising a thick cloud of dust.

Chapter 452 Let's Turn the Tide, Lizard King

At this moment, everyone's eyes were tensely fixed on the large hole that the absent king had created, and Kim Ji craned his neck as far as he could.

After all, he was the referee, and he had to confirm the Pokémon's condition as soon as possible.

Ash looked over nervously as well.

"One close-quarters battle, one Brave Bird attack, plus the Swallow Return that hit the weak point and this strike... that should be enough damage. Fall, Slaking!"

Ash felt the Aura that was gradually weakening in Slaking's body, and he had high hopes for it.

Slaking's tankiness was beyond Ash's expectations, while Swellow's strength was currently only at the level of a strong Gym Leader.

Although its damage output is quite considerable thanks to Brave Bird's powerful attacks, its physical attack is not high and it doesn't have any type advantage, so it's still barely effective against Slaking.

Bug Swallow's perseverance isn't truly invincible; as the saying goes, one should strike while the iron is hot, but the momentum will wane and eventually be exhausted.

The Great Swellow was currently suffering from the backlash after using Brave Bird's Fierce Attack, making it difficult for it to launch another strong attack.

Just then, a crisp sound of fruit shattering rang out from within the smoke, and Ash's expression changed drastically.

A huge hand emerged from the billowing dust and with a powerful swing, a strong gust of wind was unleashed.

The surrounding dust settled, and King Sukkuri emerged from it with a fierce expression.

The students from all over immediately burst into cheers.

"Great! The teacher's leave request king is back! Hooray!"

"But what was that sound just now?"
