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

The attack's wind-up and recovery time are longer than usual. Super King can make up for its weakness with the explosive power of Bullet Punch, while Charem's speed will only become a hindrance!

"Oh, you've already figured it out? Then go ahead and try fighting according to your own ideas," Ash encouraged with a smile. He was happy to see Infernape thinking during the battle.

We mean, the senior brother, who looks shrewd and has an unfathomable skill set, shouldn't be a reckless brute no matter what!

"Wow~" With approval, Infernape became even more energetic and beckoned to Medicham in a provocative manner.

"Charem, we can't let ourselves be underestimated! Keep attacking, Mind's Eye Flying Knee Strike!" "Charem~ Charem!"

The cucumber scent was indeed intoxicating, and Medicham activated Mind's Eye again, charging at Infernape with a powerful knee strike!

"be lazy!"

As if they were telepathically connected, the Infernape, which had already planned ahead, took action as soon as Ash spoke. It put its hands behind its head and leaped backward, completing a lazy reply while doing a backflip!

"Wa ...

Bang! !

It was another head-on collision, but the Infernape that had been slammed to the ground immediately got up... while Medicham was blasted away!

When it finally managed to stand up, it was already teetering on the brink of collapse.

"Charem!" Cucumber Fragrance exclaimed in surprise, completely unexpected that Infernape's counterattack would be so fierce...

Surprisingly, the other party replied again.

"Waaaaah~" While slacking off, Infernape swung its slightly numb wrist, seemingly dissatisfied with the quality of its punch.

That was yet another unpowered juggling move, and Infernape thought it would knock out its opponent outright.

"After all, it's just something you've learned on the spot, so this is already pretty good." Ash encouraged him from behind. "Layered moves can't be perfect, so it's normal that you can't unleash their full power."

Infernape had actually secretly learned a bit of Cucumber Scent's technique, which was why it was able to launch a Acrobatics counterattack in time while using Lazy.

Ash thought that such a performance on the first try was a testament to his exceptional talent... but Infernape was not entirely satisfied, feeling that it could still improve.

Things can be interesting sometimes. Since Ash caught Infernape, he has always encouraged it and never forced it to train hard... but Infernape has become increasingly strict with itself.

"This is bad..." At this moment, Huang Guaxiang's breathing became increasingly tense.

She knew the drawbacks of her stacked moves; she would definitely expose her weaknesses against a skilled opponent, and as a result, she was quickly countered by Infernape.

Having taken two powerful counter moves head-on, Çalhan's stamina was nearing its limit, but his opponent was still jumping around.

We must find a way to restrict it…

"Flame Thruster!" "Wow!"

"Charem, quickly use your psychic powers to deflect the attack!" Cucumber Fragrance was startled by the blazing flames and hurriedly had her partner use their psychic powers to barely deflect the attack.

"That's it, let's try to sense it." Ash's eyes lit up immediately, finally getting a chance for Infernape to train.

"Wow!" Infernape also gradually held its breath and focused all its attention on its fur, trying to use it to sense the slight changes in the airflow around it.

"Not attacking... Çalem, use Psychic to control it!" Tucking in and defending is not Cucumber Fragrance's style. She knows that getting close to Infernape is quite dangerous right now, so she simply switched to a ranged kiting strategy.

Çalhan stretched out his arms, and his invisible superpowers quickly spread across the field.

"What?!" Infernape did indeed sense the danger and immediately jumped to the side alertly.

However, it was clearly acting too early; Charem's psychic powers hadn't even arrived yet.

"Charem, use your mind's eye!" Cucumber Fragrance then came up with a unique idea, not only making Charem accelerate the output of her psychic power, but also adding aiming at the same time!

"Waaaaaa..." This time, Infernape's reaction was a little slow, and as a result, its body was immediately controlled!

"An opportunity! Çalhan, use Illusion Slash!"

hum!

Cucumber Fragrance, who hadn't held out much hope, suddenly brightened up and immediately conjured a psychic blade out of thin air, which slammed solidly into Infernape.

"Waaaaah..." This attack made Infernape grimac and immediately activated its lazy reply.

"You can relax your body, but you still need to keep your mind focused," Ash reminded him. "Think back carefully, and you'll definitely be able to sense it."

"Wa ...

The latter's power is more concentrated and sharper... Just grasp that feeling!

"If you think you can do it, try using Cat's Paw to escape," Ash continued, "You might just draw a useful move!"

A surefire way to escape...

Thinking this, Infernape subconsciously started opening blind boxes from its teammates, but suddenly became restless all over, and its stamina also dropped by a significant amount!

"Waaaaaah...waaaaaah!!" It let out a sharp hiss, and the surge of power even made its eyes turn red!

"What...what's going on?" Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel worried.

"It's pretty lucky... it got a powerful move!" Ash scratched his cheek a little awkwardly.

Normally, if I could draw a Bodybuilding or Sword Dance item to increase my strength, I could escape this predicament.

As a result, Infernape immediately drew Kommo-o'Soul Dance Sonic Boom...

This move is a simplified version of the Dragon's exclusive Z move. It costs one-third of your stamina but in exchange for a level 1 boost to all abilities!

"No! Medicham, use Psychic Slash with all your might!!" Seeing Infernape struggling more and more violently, Cucumber Fragrance knew that she had to go all out at this moment, and directly ordered Medicham to unleash a huge Psychic Blade!

"Waaaaah!" Even though Infernape was so agitated, it was still fully focused on sensing the danger. As soon as it sensed the approaching danger, it broke free of its restraints and dodged the attack at the last second!

"Waaaah!" As soon as the danger was over, it unleashed a burst of burning flames without hesitation, and at the same time, it exploded at full speed, charging towards Çalem!

"Charem, the final flying knee strike!!" Cucumber Fragrance unleashed her final attack. Barely managing to withstand the flames with her psychic powers, Charem leaped into the air and charged at her oncoming opponent with all her might!

"Waaaaah!" Without waiting for Ash's command, the Infernape, caught up in the excitement of the fight, once again unleashed its Cat Paw... It was actually preparing to draw a special move to stop its opponent!

Bang!

A giant rock appeared out of nowhere, completely blocking Medicham's attack path... Infernape unleashed Rock Slide!

As the giant rock crumbled, the last thing Charem saw was Infernape using the two broken stone pillars as short sticks, its face beaming with excitement!

A series of blows, seemingly leaving afterimages, were completely beyond Çalem's ability to parry, and he lost his fighting ability in mid-air.

When Infernape landed, it joined the two short sticks together and started twirling them around like a pro!

"That's quite interesting." Seeing this Infernape, Ash had some more ideas.

Since it enjoys playing with monkey sticks so much, it should evolve quickly.

Once you evolve into Infernape, you can learn Stone Edge.

At that time, with a little attribute development, it wouldn't be a problem to transform the stone blade into a stick.

Also, its cat paws are something else.

In the final stage of the battle, Ash deliberately didn't give much command, relying entirely on Infernape's own abilities to fight, and both of its Felyne attacks were extremely effective.

This might also be an area where further practice can be done...

Chapter 997 He went to the Jade Rainbow Dojo, really for a clue…

"We will not give up easily! Super Strength, go!"

"Blazing Chicken, come on!"

The battle continued, and despite losing two matches, Huang Guaxiang was not discouraged and sent out her last super-strong general.

Ash then switched out Infernape, as it had trained enough and now it needed to review the battle.

The Blaziken that appeared in the third round not only gave Custard some pointers on how to counter Machamp's lack of Guard ability, but also showed May an even more ingenious way to use Speed-Up Blaziken...

That said, if the opponent has already determined that no substitutions are possible, Blaziken can definitely take on the enemy single-handedly.

To be more specific, you could use Protect or Foresight, add Swords Dance, and then add Mimic, which Ash likes to use. Finally, just choose any physical attack move you like.

Xiao Zhi's choice, however, was a low kick that seemed to have little effect.

This move isn't very powerful, but it can slow down the opponent. When the Mighty One gets caught in the kick, there's a speed difference of two levels.

Furthermore, the strategy of using superhuman strength without any defense is an open secret. No matter how fancy the Cucumber Fragrance is, the Bullet Punch to the face will definitely still be a must.

Otherwise, she can't fight. Her superhuman strength is only based on her explosive punch, so we have to find a way to get close to her.

You can't just create distance and rely on your guaranteed hit to throw rocks, right? That would drag out the game for several rounds, and by the time Blaziken's attack speed is off the charts, its low kick could easily one-shot Machamp!

In short, as long as the distance between the two is beyond the attack range of the Mighty Punch, Blaziken is not in any danger!

The battle strategy is then very simple: Blaziken just stays outside and uses Swords Dance to boost its power. If Machamp dares to use Bullet Punch to its face, just take the damage and then kick it.

When it's about to unleash a powerful punch, activate your protective shield and then parrot backhand, delivering a punch in perfect unison!

Once the monstrous strength was thrown into disarray by the counterattack of the Explosive Fist, Cucumber Fragrance was powerless to turn the tide.

"The match is over! Machamp is unable to battle, and the winner is challenger Ash Ketchum!!"

The gym's apprentice and referee announced the result, marking Ash's successful victory over the second battle facility.

He also received a symbol of perseverance from the cucumber fragrance's profuse thanks.

The other party was indeed very grateful to him. After becoming the captain of the arena, Cucumber Fragrance had not had many opportunities to go out and train. This time, Ash sent three Fighting-type Pokémon with different characteristics, which was also a very good training opportunity for her.
