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

"I understand." Bei Shang didn't ask any more questions and immediately began to play the Divine Harmony Flute.

A lithe figure, as agile as a cat, appeared on the cliff top. It carried a bamboo box large enough for a person to sit on on its back and used a pair of huge grappling hooks to climb the treacherous rock face. In just a few breaths, it landed lightly on the ground.

A subspecies unique to the Xicui region, the King of the Cliffs – the Giant Viper!

"Sneasel~" The giant Sneasel moved its pair of hook claws, curiously examining Ash... but it quickly lost interest, grabbing North Shore's hat and playing with it in its palm.

It's clear that it's very careful; before getting close to Bei Shang, it even raised its claws at a certain angle to avoid scratching the other's face.

Ash is also quite interested in Sneasel. The Alpaca series has added many groundbreaking evolutions... To be honest, many of them are rather unattractive.

Sneasel is fairly good-looking, but a bit odd... odd in that its art style sometimes resembles Luca, Zoroark, and Electric Cat.

This king of the cliffs is quite interesting. Others may not know why it suddenly lost interest in Ash, but Ash can understand its mutterings.

This guy already has a cat and a dog... How boring~

North Shang is definitely more fun!

So, the way it looked at its manager was quite strange...

"King of the Cliffs, I've come to obtain the Poison-type Life Source. Can you give it to me?" Ash asked directly as he stepped forward.

"Sneasel...Sneasel!" The giant Sneasel glanced at Ash again with its alluring eyes...and then pounced like lightning.

Move at high speed!

"Ho!" But Ash was prepared. Crobat transformed into a streak of purple light and launched a swift attack, spewing out black mist to seize the target's vision and also washing away Sneasel's speed boost!

Taking advantage of the fog, the Crobat circled in the air, using Tailwind to hover like a ghost around the Great Slug, patiently looking for an opportunity to attack.

"Niu..." The big Niu couldn't help but get irritated. It swung its claws around several times, but missed every time.

This reckless act left its defenses riddled with holes, giving the Crobat a perfect opportunity to attack!

call out!

A silent ripple spread through the mist, and the Crossbat folded its two pairs of wings, launching a rapid attack on the Sneasel's chest!

Four times the amount, think about the hammer!

"This is... no! Big Sneasel, use power conversion immediately!!" At the critical moment, Bei Shang sensed the danger and shouted an order to Big Sneasel.

"accustomed to…"

Bang! !

Before Sneasel could even believe it, it switched its attack and defense, only to be severely wounded in the chest by Crobat!

It groaned and crashed out of the black mist, rolling several times on the ground before barely managing to regain its footing...

Ash, who had been watching the battle, suddenly started clapping.

"Mr. Kitashō, very good~"

Chapter 1126 Bei Shang's Memories

Applause for Bei Shang; the chief controller of Hezhong's subway system is indeed quite capable.

Even though he lost most of his memories, he still maintained a fighting instinct that was above average.

Sneasel is a typical high-attack, low-defense Pokémon. If Crobat were to take a direct hit to the lungs with its Psychic Hammer, which is four times more powerful than Crobat's, the outcome of the battle would be a foregone conclusion.

However, Bei Shang commanded it to switch between offense and defense at a crucial moment, and it was able to hold on for a little longer.

At the same time, Ash felt that North deserved praise, not only because of his battle skills, but also because Sneasel actually listened to him when he casually called out.

Many farm managers in Xicui hope that the king they worship is stronger, such as Kikui.

They would sometimes teach the king some special techniques, and if the king was in a good mood, he could listen to their guidance... but he would never let them command him in battle!

Compared to other train managers, Bei Shang has already established a trainer-partner relationship with Sneasel... although there may be other reasons for this as well.

By the way, perhaps Sylvanas should be called the Cliff Queen~

"Mr. Kitasho, would you like to battle?" It was rare to have a trainer on the other side, so Ash impulsively extended a battle invitation.

"Battle...is it a Pokémon battle?" Bei Shang seemed a little excited...this familiar feeling of meeting eyes was gradually awakening something within him!

That long-lost thrill, like an engine spinning at high speed!

"That's right, Pokémon battles!" Ash exclaimed with renewed fighting spirit. "One-on-one!"

"Big Sneasel, what do you think?" "Sneasel!"

Bei Shang sought his partner's opinion, while Da Niu La began sharpening its claws, a ferocious and excited smile spreading across its face.

The man beside it was more passionate than ever before, which even made it unable to contain its excitement!

"Excellent! Safety check complete. Let's advance with victory in mind! Use Lightning Bolt!!" At this moment, Bei Shang seemed to have regained his former feeling. He waved his hand with great pride, causing the giant slug to charge forward again!

"Retreat!" Ash gave the concise command, and Crobat once again hid in the black mist, causing Sneasel's attack to miss.

"Use High-Speed ​​Star!" With Bei Shang in command this time, the Great Sneasel no longer attacked recklessly. It cautiously unleashed a ball of star-shaped energy, intending to pinpoint its opponent's location in the fog.

"That's it! Follow the traction of the locomotive, use rockfall!"

"Great! Use the air to chop!"

Ash's eyes lit up. He used Swift's guaranteed hit as a lock-on move, and then had Sneasel use Rock Slide, a move that couldn't be learned in the Greenery area. This was the true skill of a trainer.

As for the number of special moves... it's good enough that Kita can remember them from previous battles, so let's not add any formula restrictions to this one.

Ash, not to be outdone, spun rapidly through the air with his Crobat, unleashing a series of wind blades that sliced ​​the incoming energy and rocks into pieces!

huh~

A sharp, cold glint flashed across the Great Niu La's cheek, and the stinging pain added a fierce glint to the Cliff Queen's vertical pupils!

"They're really a formidable opponent... But even without support, we won't give up easily!" Seemingly sensing his partner's feelings, Kita gave the final command, "Big Sneasel, full speed ahead! Killer Claw!!"

"Great fighting spirit! Let's give it our all... Cross Poison Blade!!" "Hah!!"

The Crobat, which had been silent all along, let out a low growl, gathering all its strength in its wings to confront the attacking opponent head-on!

Clang!

The Destroyer Claw and Venom Wings clashed instantly, and the two Pokémon stood back to back, bringing the great battle to an abrupt end.

"So... who won?" Zhubei asked eagerly.

This was definitely the most intense battle she had ever seen; the high-speed combat between the two Pokémon kept her glued to the screen.

"Hah..." The cross-bat let out a low groan. One of its wings had a noticeable wound, and it drooped, unable to flap anymore.

At the same time, it was also covered in tangled electric arcs, as it had entered a paralyzed state due to the effect of the Death Claw.

“Niu…la…” But the giant Niu La was kneeling on both knees, and a spurt of blood suddenly shot out from its chest…

"Big Niu La?!" With Bei Shang's astonished shout, the Cliff Queen fell forward helplessly, and the source of her deadly poison that she had always kept also fell to the ground.

Bei Shang rushed forward to check and found that Da Niu was badly injured, with a deep cut on his chest that almost exposed the bone!

"I will heal it, you don't need to worry." Ash simultaneously mobilized the power of Viridian and Aura, and after a moment, Sneasel's wounds miraculously disappeared, and it reopened its eyes.

"Sneasel...Sneasel!" After confirming that he was safe and sound, Sneasel quickly remembered his opponent and, unwilling to admit defeat, brandished his claws at Crobat.

It lost this time, but it can definitely become stronger, as long as that man gives it more special training!

"Hah..." The Crossbat was thinking about something else entirely.

It swung its wings so fiercely just now, and it even waited until the opponent's power shifted and disappeared before attacking, deliberately hitting the spot where the thought hammer struck, directly breaking through the vital point...

Even after all this, the giant Sneasel is still not poisoned!

It should be noted that its poison-type attacks have been honed to the point of being corrosive, especially when they create wounds, which even poison and steel types cannot be immune to!

It must have been the source of poison that blocked the opponent's attack... I was determined to get that thing!

"Crobat, catch!" Just as Ash was thinking this, he threw the Poison-type Poison Source over.

"Ho~ Ho!" The Crobat caught it immediately, the massive amount of energy even causing it to roar excitedly.

Its entire body seemed to have been transformed once again; its wings and teeth became stronger and sharper, and its body was filled with almost endless venom.

"You really need to be careful from now on," Xiao Zhi couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this.

The cross-bat is now definitely one of the most dangerous creatures on the planet. Even a sneeze from it can turn a large area into barren land!

However, these forces can certainly be contained.

Ash is confident in Crobat; it will soon be able to fully master the source of the Poison type.

"That was a fantastic battle, and I accept my defeat wholeheartedly." At that moment, Hokusho approached Ash. "Ash, you used your skill to beautifully reach the finish line called victory! I… um…"

As he spoke, Bei Shang suddenly choked up.

"Why are you crying?" Zhubei asked worriedly. "Is it because you're too heartbroken about losing the match?"

“I just… remembered some things,” Bei Shang explained in a hoarse voice. “After battling Ash, I recalled some things from the past… I was, I think, a Pokémon Trainer once.”

“Just like Ash…” Zhubei paused for a moment, but wasn’t too surprised.

She actually had a preconceived notion that Bei Shang might be from the same era as Xiao Zhi and Xiao Zhao.

"Yes, in the world before I lost my memory, there were many trainers... almost everyone caught Pokémon and lived closely with them. Trainers would train their Pokémon, aiming for higher levels, and constantly engage in Pokémon battles. In this way, they would get to know their partners fighting alongside them, as well as their rivals and their rivals' Pokémon..."
