Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

Sloth, as depicted in the anime, can dodge opponents' fast attacks by shaking its body, but now that Chimchar is practically on its face, it can't dodge no matter what.

"You've got a knack for this, Lazybones! Use a surprise attack!"

"Keep using the enhanced punch!"

Faced with a sure-hit attack from a thousand miles away, Ash directly countered with an attack, gaining another attack boost.

"Provocation, then Cat's Hand!" After this exchange, Slaki inevitably fell into laziness, so Ash simply let Chimchar use a series of moves in close combat.

After re-locking the transformation technique, Cat Hand immediately unleashed another move, Rage.

"Lazybones, use your headbutt!"

"Take the hit, then unleash your powerful punch!"

After the second exchange of damage, Chimchar delivered a punch that sent Slaking crashing to its knees.

With three Power Up Punches and damage from being enraged, Chimchar has stacked up to level 4 Attack, which Slaking simply can't withstand!

"One more time with the cat paw!"

"Waaaah!" Ash was about to use his laziness to draw another power-up move, but Chimchar suddenly unleashed a powerful attack, sending Slaking flying far away!

"Oh my god..." "Wow..."

The first battle ended abruptly, leaving Ash and Chimchar looking at each other in bewilderment.

Too much force was used...

"This is not scientific!" Xiao Sheng couldn't help but complain. "What's wrong with that little fire monkey? Why does Cat Hand always draw useful special moves?!"

"Because besides Chimchar, Ash only has Swellow on him," Serena explained with a smile. "Paws randomly borrows a move from a teammate. If there's only one teammate, the move will only be used on that teammate."

"This works too?" Xiaoyao's eyes lit up.

Her cheeky cat also frequently uses Cat Paw, but it's always been a matter of luck when using the skill. Today is the first time I've heard that it can reduce the range of selections this way.

Indeed, High Shift, Wrath, and the final Billion Impact are all moves that Queen Yan excels at, and they are particularly suitable for the situation at hand.

“But if that’s the case…” Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment, but quickly found it even more hard to accept. “You mean he only brought two Pokémon and wants to beat Dad’s three?!”

If his family hadn't been there, Xiaosheng would definitely have roared right now.

Is this looking down on people?

His father is Qianli, a man universally acknowledged as being on par with the Four Heavenly Kings!

According to what Xiaosheng heard, ordinary challengers wouldn't even get to see Slaking, yet Xiaozhi actually wants to take on three opponents at once?!

"Two...?" Qianli's expression turned serious.

He sees much further ahead than Xiaosheng; Xiaozhi's Swellow might just be used to provide special moves.

Could this boy really possibly push me aside with a little fire monkey...?

Qianli guessed correctly; that's exactly what Xiaozhi was thinking.

To be honest, it wouldn't have much effect as Qianli originally planned.

Ash reaching Legend rank or fielding a top-tier hero to deal with a Gym Leader-level opponent like Trey is blatant bullying, isn't it?

Ultimately, Qianli doesn't understand the thought process of brainless fans. They always find numerous excuses for their idols, forcibly smearing this competition as unfair.

Therefore, Ash decided to utilize the promising Sinnoh master.

He refused to believe that anyone would question the outcome of being defeated by three of the starter Pokémon in their youth.

"Let's continue the battle, my second one is Hyperactive Ape!" After the little episode ended, Senri composed herself and sent out the raging Great Ape evolved from Lazybones.

"provocative!"

"Hyperactive ape, scratching wildly!"

Without laziness holding him back, Senri began to command the apes to launch proactive attacks... but he would soon regret it.

"Enhanced Fist!" Despite the scratches, he threw a punch, and the hyperactive ape immediately clutched his chest and staggered back four or five steps.

It almost lost half its life in one impulsive act, and also gave its opponent a level of enhancement.

"Hyperactive ape, use rocks to seal it off!"

"Try to dodge, use the cat's paw!"

Frustrated by Chimchar's agility, Thousand Miles began having the Hyperactive Ape continuously create rocks in an attempt to reduce Chimchar's speed.

As expected, Chimchar was hit on the ankle by a rock while dodging. Although it didn't take the full damage, its speed did decrease.

To Qianli's surprise, Cat's Hand unleashed another move, High Move, which made Chimchar even faster.

"Charge! Use a surprise attack!" Qianli had no choice but to let the ape attack with all its might.

He had no other choice; a sure-hit move would at least guarantee damage, otherwise it would all be in vain.

"Boost Fist!"

Another heavy punch collided, and Chimchar swayed slightly, while Apexis lay on the ground and started spinning its eyes.

Aside from that cat paw, Chimchar only needed two punches to knock down the second Chimchar from a thousand miles away!

"No way..." Attack +6, Speed ​​+3... Faced with such a little fire monkey, Xiao Sheng finally started to tremble.

"Ash, you're really amazing." Senri exclaimed with deep emotion, "I never expected the battle to turn out like this... This is the last one, can you really hold on to the end?"

As he spoke, he threw the last Poké Ball with all his might: "Go, Slaking!"

"King!" As soon as he landed, Slave King immediately let out a fierce roar.

The fact that Slaking, who is arrogant and hates trouble, takes this so seriously is enough to prove Chimchar's current strength.

But that's not enough... Ash always hopes that it can become stronger!

"Waaaah!" Before Ash could give the order, the Charmander, caught up in the excitement, threw out a taunt.

"Save King, use an earthquake!"

"Jump up and use your cat paws!"

Slaking unleashed a powerful shockwave across the field, but Ash was prepared and immediately commanded Chimchar to leap into the air.

As it took to the air, several feathers formed of energy suddenly appeared around Chimchar, and its stamina began to recover.

"Did you get Roost...? That saves a skill slot." Ash paused for a moment, as he had originally planned to use his last skill to ensure his survivability.

Here's a little background information: the Chimchar family are typical high-speed dual-wielders, and by all accounts they seem lively and active, yet they can learn lazy tricks by leveling up.

The senior brother's skill pool is indeed unfathomable...

"Slave King, a surprise attack!"

While Ash was still imagining things, Slaking, who was far away, attacked at lightning speed and slapped Chimchar away with its huge paw!

"Waaaaah..." The little fire monkey, caught off guard, fell heavily to the ground, even letting out a muffled groan.

It's a bit unbelievable. The opponent was clearly in a lazy state, yet the speed of their attack was too fast.

However, the damage wasn't as high as expected...

"Great! Dad has the upper hand!" Xiao Sheng exclaimed joyfully, jumping for joy. "I knew it! Dad's habit of asking for leave has long since overcome his laziness!"

"Overcome laziness?" Ash raised an eyebrow slightly, but he was somewhat skeptical.

If the laziness of the False Alpha is so easy to overcome, it wouldn't deserve to be listed alongside Slow Start and Weakness as one of the three major negative traits.

Qianli, the king of taking leave, seems to act quickly, but the price it pays is more serious than the frequency of its attacks!

And this is also the reason why Xiao Zhi dares to defeat three opponents in a row!

"How was it? The opponent was strong, wasn't it?" Ash asked with a smile. "Should we try to improve our skills too?"

A good trainer must always be aware of all aspects of their partner's situation... including when they should evolve.

"Waaaaah...waaaah!!"

The little fire monkey had been waiting for this moment. It screamed and sprang up, gradually changing shape in the burst of white light!

Four more slender and powerful creatures, each with a long tail burning with flames... Infernape!

"No need for any more probing, Flame Wheel!"

"Save King, use an earthquake!"

boom!

The ultimate battle begins! Infernape bursts into flames and launches a fierce attack on Slaking like a speeding roulette wheel!

Thousand Miles managed to trigger an earthquake by Slaking, but Infernape suddenly sprang up and crashed down from the sky!

"Please, King, repay my debt!"

"Boost Fist!"

After sparks flew, a fierce close-quarters battle ensued, with Infernape being blasted away by a powerful force, and Slaking's massive body also staggering.

But the fallen Infernape stood up again, its entire body now enveloped in exploding flames!

"Go, final fiery wheel!!" "Waaaaah!!"

With a desperate burst of flames, Infernape transformed into a fireball as tall as Slaking, carving a scorched trench in the field before crashing into Slaking's body at full speed!
