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

Chapter 452 The Crippled "Level One God"

The Blaziken in the crater tilted its head awkwardly, its eyes filled with swirling mosquito coils; it had completely lost its ability to fight.

"You've done a great job, Blaziken, come back and rest."

Having defeated the two Pokémon from afar, Blaziken had successfully completed its mission. Ash took out a Poké Ball and recalled Blaziken, then brought out a new Pokémon.

"Sister, did you see that? Blaziken's close-range attack just now was like tickling Slaking."

"I saw it. Although I expected it, this is still too tragic."

Dad's performance as a "leave king" was so strong that May couldn't help but worry about Ash.

Unlike the Slaking and Hyperactive Apex, whose base stats are fairly average or even mediocre, Slaking's final evolution can be described as having undergone a complete transformation.

Its base stats skyrocketed to 670, almost on par with a level 1 legendary character. (For example, a certain non-flying creature also has a base stat of 670.)

It was truly a terrifying beast, a genuine human being who could rival a god.

Of course, this is without considering its god-like, laziness-like characteristic that drags it down.

Placing laziness in the "leave king" category is like placing slow start in the "toilet king" category or helicopter in the "prison king" category!

Anyone who possesses this trait will have their combat power greatly reduced.

However, even though it looks lazy, it doesn't stop Slaking from having the strength to send most of Bao Ge Meng flying with a single punch or elbow when it can move.

After all, the left punch deals more damage, and the right punch deals more damage.

Moreover, this is the Thousand Mile King, whose sturdy and robust body contains astonishing power.

In Xiaozhi's waveguide perception, it was as bright as a light bulb, so bright that it was dazzling, and just standing there it was very threatening.

"The only opportunity for a counterattack is during its rest period after each attack. So, it's up to you, Swellow, to use your speed!"

Ash sent out the last Pokémon that hadn't been used yet.

The moment the Great Swallow appeared, it locked its gaze on the Slaking King, who was still lazily scratching its chest, and then immediately began to circle rapidly above its head.

"Oh, this Pokémon is trained quite well too! Slaking, focus fire!"

"Kill!"

In this challenge, Senri has already sent out his ace Slaking, so naturally he doesn't intend to give Ash any chance to breathe and immediately has Slaking launch an attack.

The time when Slaking knocked Blaziken away was just a casual gesture; it didn't use any special moves, so the rest mechanic wasn't triggered.

Its enormous body suddenly leaped up, five meters off the ground, and the force of the fake king blasted a large hole in the spot where it had just been standing.

Such immense power naturally brought with it a speed disproportionate to its size; the giant fist, shimmering with blue starlight, arrived beneath the Great Swallow in an instant.

"That's too fast, Ash! Watch out!" May exclaimed in surprise.

Ash reacted quickly, shouting, "Swellow, use Shadow Clone to dodge!"

"Spar!"

Just before the concentrated attack hit, Da Wang Yan's body instantly split into more than a dozen parts.

The fake king's fist passed through one of the phantoms, striking but missing its mark.

"Wow, the timing of that skill usage was absolutely brilliant!"

"Whose Pokémon is that that managed to dodge Teacher's Slacking-Off attack?"

Suddenly, a noisy chattering started outside the window.

It turned out that the battle between Ash and Senri had made too much noise, attracting the Petalburg Gym apprentices who had just finished their morning practice in the front yard.

"You lot, shut up! Go back to the front yard and continue today's lesson!"

"Hey, that's not fair, it's always like this."

"Yes, that's too cunning. Only Senior Brother Jin Zhi can watch it with Miss Xiao Yao and Young Master Xiao Sheng!"

"I also want to see the teacher's heroic performance in a match!"

"You guys—"

Jin Zhi, the eldest disciple, rushed forward to disperse them, but Qian Li stopped him.

"Let them watch the match from there. It's a rare spectacle, and it will benefit them."

The students cheered, but when he said this, Chisato didn't even turn his head; his attention was still fixed on his battle with Ash.

His body was now completely heated up after the two had been fighting for so long.

When the attack by the King of Suicide failed, Qianli immediately shouted.

"Slave King, immediately assume defensive stance!"

"Ku~"

Seeing this, Slaking had no choice but to land back on the ground, and Ash realized that his chance to fight back had come.

"Great Swellow, unleash your mighty bird attack!"

"Spit it out!"

In mid-air, a dozen giant swallows simultaneously burst into dazzling flames. The flames quickly transformed from red and yellow to a terrifying blue, and then the giant swallows flew backward, attacking in several arc-shaped parabolic paths, as if blooming a blue lotus flower in mid-air.

They moved with lightning speed, instantly appearing around the Slave King and violently impacting its body.

An unscientific explosion unique to the Pokémon world was also triggered at this moment.

"Spar!"

"Ku~"

Rumble—

"That was a beautiful move!" Xiaoyao excitedly took out her camera and snapped a picture of the scene.

She is now a proper Coordinator Trainer, and she wants to record any impressive skill performances she encounters.

"Even Daddy's Slacker would get hurt from being attacked by so many brave birds."

"Please, sister, although the Swellow's attack just now seemed to have a dozen or so strikes, ultimately there's only one Swellow body. Only the body can cause damage!"

"That's right, Miss Haruka. The greatest function of shadow clones is to increase one's own evasion rate and to increase the success rate of one's own attacks by confusing the opponent's eyes."

Not only Xiao Sheng, but even the junior sister who was watching the game from the crowd by the window was able to point out Xiao Yao's mistakes.

It seems that this young scholar still has a long way to go in completing her Pokémon knowledge journey.

"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 its Brave Bird's fierce attack 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 absenteeism! No wonder he's known as the legendary king of absenteeism, who supposedly forged his hands to be like those of 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 his 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, Slave King—"

"Not yet, Your Majesty Tsubame! Use Tsubame Return! Attack the Slave 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.

"They discovered it in such a short time?" Qianli frowned in surprise, but quickly smiled with relief. "You really can't underestimate young people these days."

[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!"

"Spar, Spar!"

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 impressive speed. In that case, we won't hold back. Slaking, grab Swellow and unleash your full power with Thunder Fist!"

"Great Swan, use Shadow Clone Technique again!"

"Spar!"

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

"Damn it!!!"

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

A thick, muscular arm swung around and swept away all of Da Wang Yan's shadow clones, turning them 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 type skill, it's twice as effective against Swellow, and with Slaking's terrifying attacks, Swellow is definitely doomed!"

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 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 Swallow hasn't fallen!"

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

Is it really still a giant swallowtail?

"Hmph, that's what you don't understand. The Great Swallow'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 its body was easily dispelled, 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 shouted to Swellow, "Lower body, fly up!"

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 was a flight technique personally trained by a muscular man skilled in flight, who taught Snorlax. Under such immense power, Snorlax's arm was instantly knocked away by Snorlax, and then its wings, wreathed in blue flames, swept across Snorlax'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.
