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

Chapter 409 Challenging the Violet Gym

Inside the secret passage was a fast route to the Mauville Gym battle zone. With Walter's warm hospitality, Ash and his friends boarded a tunnel vehicle that was noticeably more serious.

However, when Xiao Sheng was about to get into the car, Walter went out of his way to politely lead him in, leaving Xiao Sheng completely confused.

But I didn't think much of it, just assuming Walter was a nice guy who liked kids.

Within minutes, a bright, spacious, and technologically advanced room appeared in front of Ash and his friends.

"We've arrived."

Everyone got off the bus.

"Wow, this living room is really nice, unlike my house which has all those very traditional rooms."

"Right? My teacher and I worked so hard to build it—hmm, what's that sound? Who's talking?"

"What's wrong with me?" Xiao Sheng looked up in confusion, wondering what was wrong with this person.

"Ah, you—how come you're a boy!"

Walter immediately rushed forward anxiously and snatched Xiao Sheng's glasses off, while also ruffling the hair that he had painstakingly dried.

Then they were stunned and couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Give me back my glasses! What do you mean? Why can't I be a boy?"

Xiao Sheng rolled up his sleeves speechlessly, revealing his now quite muscular arms and showcasing his manly charm.

Meanwhile, Xiaoyao, standing to the side, immediately burst into laughter, unable to catch her breath.

"Haha, Xiaosheng is actually being mistaken for a little girl."

When they rode the roller coaster earlier, they went through a water tunnel, so Xiaosheng's glasses were thrown off and his hair got wet.

Unexpectedly, this caused Tie Xuan and his apprentice to misjudge the situation, which only made Walter even more devastated.

"Damn it, I was thinking that being older was okay since you're cute, but how come you're a boy?!"

"If you're a boy, why do you have that face?"

After taking off his glasses, Xiao Sheng has big eyes, long eyelashes, and good looks inherited from Xiao Yao's parents. At such a young age, he really looks like a little girl.

"Hey, putting everything else aside, I'm only seven years old! You're saying I'm old?"

"Shut up! Women get old after six! Besides, you're not a little loli yet." Walter lamented, "Cute little boys are definitely the nemesis of lolicon."

"Master Tiexuan, what's this about Walter?"

Ash looked at Walter, who was visibly agitated, with a embarrassed expression. "This guy seems dangerous. Maybe I should just hand him over to Officer Jenny."

Tie Xuan, on the other hand, had an expression that said he was used to it.

"Don't worry about it, he's just having his old problem again, Magnemite's getting electrified!"

"Beep—!"

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Judging from their practiced electric shock technique, it's clear that the master and apprentice frequently engage in this kind of interaction.

"Haha, I took him in as a disciple precisely because I thought it was too dangerous for him to release like this, so there's no problem, I will definitely keep a close eye on him."

"Are you sure everything's okay?"

It's really hard to feel at ease knowing that this Zijin Martial Arts Academy has both a lolicon and a Fu Rui fanatic.

However, despite their somewhat niche hobbies, they are still very professional when challenging gym battles.

Walter quickly recovered from the electric shock, swiftly set up the battleground, and began the gym challenge.

Because the rules restricted Lei Gong from participating in the battle, this actually made the old office worker feel good, and he could comfortably rest on the sidelines.

Tie Xuan thoughtfully arranged a luxurious chair for Lei Gong and offered him fine fruits before rushing back to the battlefield.

"Ahem, Ash, while I'm very grateful that you brought Raikou so my wish could be fulfilled, I won't hold back in the Gym Challenge!"

"Next, I'll be using Magnemite, Magneton, and Electabuzz. Are you ready?"

Tie Xuan is truly a kind person; he actually revealed the Pokémon he would be using before the battle even began.

However, Ash's Pokémon for this gym battle were arranged well in advance, so it won't have any impact.

"Bring it on, Iron Whirlwind Master!"

[Ding! Congratulations on triggering a new main quest "Electric Badge!": Defeat Mauville Gym Leader Iron Spin]

【获得奖励：联盟币+5000；体力属性+2；攻击+2：自由属性点+3；技能电磁波+1】

"I choose you, Mudkip!"

"Magneto, it's all yours now."

The challenge rules remain the same as usual: a three-on-three singles battle, with only the challenger allowed to freely switch Pokémon.

Without exchanging any more words, the two immediately began fighting.

"Oh ho ho, Mudkip, huh? Looks like you were prepared. But my Magnemite isn't so easy to deal with. Levitate!"

The Magnemite immediately emitted bursts of static electricity and quickly floated into the air.

In this state, Mudkip's ground-based attacks cannot hit Magnemite.

"Ground attacks can't hit, and water attacks are resistant, so in that case—"

Without hesitation, Ash recalled Mudkip and replaced it with Combusken.

Combusken, a Fighting and Fire-type Pokémon, completely outclasses Magnemite, an Electric and Steel-type Pokémon, allowing it to put its previous training to good use.

"Hoo hoo, my attacks will be as swift as lightning! You won't be able to defeat me just by relying on attribute advantages!"

"Magneto, 100,000 Volts!"

Grandpa Tiexuan was a very cheerful old man who never stopped laughing heartily, even during the battle.

"Beep—whoosh!"

At this moment, the magnets on both sides of Magnemite's body spun rapidly, and a yellow lightning bolt immediately condensed and struck down.

The strong chicken narrowed its eyes, its leg muscles bulged instantly, and it nimbly jumped to dodge the attack.

"Well done! Strong Chicken Double Kick!"

Pikachu's electric shock training wasn't in vain; Combusken jumped up again and flew towards Magnemite's location.

The Magnemite doesn't move very fast in the air due to magnetism, and the distance between them is suddenly shortened.

At the perfect moment, the Mighty Chicken's powerful foot swept forward swiftly.

"Come on!"

"Beep?"

""

After a loud whooshing sound, Magnemite was slammed back to the ground.

"What?! That was a fast attack!"

Not only Tie Xuan and the others, but even Xiao Yao and Xiao Sheng were shocked.

"I didn't see Mighty Chicken make a move when we were traveling before, has its attack become so swift now?"

"It's not over yet! That double kick attack had two hits, Mighty Chicken!"

"just!"

At this moment, relying on its powerful jumping ability, the strong chicken, seemingly suspended in mid-air, quickly followed up with its second consecutive kick.

This dealt another heavy blow to the Magnemite, whose ground hadn't yet recovered.

With a clean and swift combo, Magnemite was completely knocked down and rendered unable to fight.

"Strong Chicken wins!"

"Cha-mao, cha-mao!"

[Ding! Strong Chicken: Affection +2; Intimacy +1]

After defeating his opponent in one move, the strong chicken immediately beamed with joy and jumped up excitedly.

During the previous special training, Mighty Chicken showed the greatest improvement in strength.

With its naturally warlike and competitive nature, coupled with its extraordinary talent, Ash's inhuman weight-bearing training method was practically tailor-made for it.

It's no longer the strong chicken that could be easily defeated by Farfetch'd! Its muscles have increased fivefold, and its strength has skyrocketed!

Its double kick had the effect of close-quarters combat.

"My little Magnemite was defeated in one move." Tie Xuan found it hard to believe.

But he quickly readjusted his mindset.

"Haha, the other party is a trainer who is recognized by Raikou, so it's not surprising that his Pokémon has such strength."

"But I, the old man, also need to show more strength."

Otherwise, I'll lose face in front of the Pokémon I value most.

"It's your turn now. Go, Magneton!" Tie Xuan became serious.

Although Magnemite is also a Pokémon that Irons carefully raised, you can see how much Irons likes it by the fact that it always stays by his side with Electric Walter.

However, in terms of raw power, Magneton, as the final evolved form, still comes out on top.

This Pokémon looks like a large flying saucer, and the two magnets underneath it have become enormous, like two hands.

"Whoosh~Bili!"

"This is Magneton." May took out her Pokédex and scanned it, but surprisingly, it showed no information.

"Sister, Magnemite is the latest evolution of the Magnemite family, which was recently discovered in the Sinnoh region. Our Pokédex hasn't been updated yet."

There are no Magneton in the wild in Hoenn, so Max was overjoyed to see one here.

Ash naturally knew this news as well, since he had many girlfriends as a gym leader, and no one was more informed about such matters than him.

"Magnemite's properties are exactly the same as Magnemite's, so I'll leave it to you again, Combusken!"

"Come on!"

At the end of the previous round, Combusken's Speed ​​increased by one stage due to its ability.

Since its type still counters the opponent, Ash doesn't want it to be eliminated so quickly.

"Use jet flame!"

"Magneto, discharge!"

The two magnets above and below its head spun rapidly, and a large net made of electric current was continuously launched from the Magneto's body.

The jet of flame was immediately engulfed, resulting in a violent explosion on the field.

At this point, neither Combusken nor Magneton stopped using their skills; in fact, they both increased their power output.

But in the end, Magneton's discharge was more effective, and Combusken's Flamethrower was unable to break through the electric grid and was firmly suppressed.

"The Mighty Chicken sidesteps, then unleashes a double kick!"

"Magneto, 100,000 Volts!"

The opponent's electric discharge pierced through the jet flame, but still failed to hit the agile Mighty Chicken.

Ash intended to repeat his previous trick, letting Combusken unleash its powerful kick once again to severely injure Magneton.

But unexpectedly, Magneton didn't dodge this time. Instead, it took the kick head-on from Combusken. The kick was incredibly powerful.

Suddenly, Magneton's leg was firmly attracted by Magneton's powerful magnetic force and it couldn't break free for a while.

The second kick of the double kick couldn't be delivered.

"Haha, surprise, Ash! My Magneton can freely control its own magnetism."

"Magneto, now's your chance! Paralyze your opponent!"

"Beep—!"

At this moment, Magneton's electric current was released rapidly, and 100,000 volts struck Combusken firmly.

The strong chicken was immediately electrocuted and its whole body was emitting black smoke, but it was still that little chicken that refused to admit defeat.

In the electric current, it struggled to kick the Magneton away with its other leg, which was not attracted, and finally managed to break free from its restraints.

"Wow, amazing! This strong chicken has incredible willpower!"

Walter couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. When Strongchicken was hit by Thunderbolt just now, he almost took out a healing potion and raised the flag to pronounce judgment.

Even though it managed to break free, the strong chicken lost a lot of energy.

"This Magneton is quite strong, and its moves are very powerful." Ash had already determined that its ability was pretty much what he was looking for.

Magneton with this characteristic will have its attack power increased by 30% if it uses its move as the second move.

Now that Powercock has accelerated, it's impossible for it to be slower than Magneton, which allows Magneton's Analyze ability to be used continuously.

"Hahaha, the crackling sound is as pleasant as an electromagnetic drum!"

"Ash, your Combusken is strong, but it's still just a second-stage evolved Pokémon. If you want to defeat my Magneton, evolve it one stage higher!"

"Magneto, unleash Thunder!"

The ultimate move of the Electric System is here.

Second-stage evolved Pokémon are inherently inferior in base stats compared to their final evolved forms, not to mention that Magneton is one of the more powerful final evolved Pokémon.

Defeating it is even more difficult.

But Ash and Combusken are not easily intimidated; the stronger the opponent, the more Combusken's fighting spirit is ignited.

The Mighty Chicken's speed has now been increased to level three.

With movements so fast they left only afterimages, Mighty Chicken successfully dodged all the lightning strikes brought down by Magneton.

"Come on!"

"Strong chicken, let's use the double kick again!"

At this moment, Ash and Combusken exchanged a glance, and Combusken immediately understood. Ash then gave the command.

"Hahaha, here we go again."

"The same trick didn't work last time, and it won't work this time either. Next up, Magneton!" Iron Whirl smiled confidently.

Even if it's a trade of injuries, his Magneton is much tankier than Strongchicken, and he will ultimately win.

But Combusken remained fearless, its muscles bulging, as it galloped wildly toward Magneton.

"Cha-mao, cha-mao!" It unleashed a swift double kick.

Just as Magneton was about to repeat its old trick, adjusting its magnetic force to firmly attach itself to the Mighty Chicken's thigh again, Ash's expression suddenly changed.

"Now, Mighty Chicken, unleash your Flame Kick!"

This is the first time Ash has tried this kind of move switching on Combusken.

But at this moment, he could only trust the strong chicken.

And Mighty Chicken lived up to its reputation as a genius, living up to its trainer's trust.

The moment it heard Ash's command, it completed the energy conversion, and the flames on its legs burned fiercely, making this kick quite powerful.

boom!

"————Whoosh————li".

The combined power of the double kick and the Flame Kick completely stunned the Magneton.

At the same time, the flames from the Flame Kick quickly caused burns to the Magneton, and the entire UFO was instantly engulfed in flames.

The magnetic force that I had painstakingly adjusted was instantly broken.

"Magneto, use Iron Hoof Beam immediately to knock Combusken away!" Iron Whirl shouted anxiously.

He knew he couldn't let Combusken get any closer, but unfortunately, Magneton was no longer able to retaliate.

At that moment, Combusken's second kick struck Magneton's head like a rapidly falling axe.

It was driven directly into the ground, which triggered another burst of flames.

"Bilibili————" (deflated)

Magneton lost its ability to fight.
