Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 404 The Lily of the Valley Tournament: A Battle of Rivals (Part Two)

"Isn't this the end of us?"

Ah Liu spoke up.

"Electrilemon's ability is Electric Engine, which prevents it from taking damage when attacked by Electric-type moves; instead, it increases its speed."

Xiao Gang sat in the audience and explained to Xiao Guang and another friend he had met on his trip.

"In addition, since Electric-type moves are weakened by Electric-type moves, they will only use non-Electric-type moves from the beginning."

"No wonder Shinji used lightning to blast the rocks away at first, and then used tile-breaking."

"Does that mean Pikachu can only use Iron Tail?"

Listening to what Xiao Guang and the other boy beside him were saying, Xiao Gang nodded.

"Therefore, Pikachu's Rage Volt will not damage Electivire; on the contrary, it will increase Electivire's Speed."

"what?"

On the field, Electivire stretched out its hands and blocked Pikachu.

"Now, Iron Tail!"

Ash watched as Pikachu approached Electivire and quickly issued a command.

Pikachu's tail transformed into a steel shape, then it leaped high into the air and slammed it down on Electivire.

"Thunder Fist".

Electivire's fist was covered in electricity as it clashed with Pikachu's Iron Tail.

"That silly Ash doesn't seem so stupid after all."

Fang Yan leaned against the railing and began to speak.

"A bold idea."

Daigo smiled slightly, expressing his opinion.

"If we didn't use this method, we might not have even noticed Shinji's wariness, right?"

Cynthia held Shana, a glint of light flashing in her beautiful eyes. "He probably realized that Shinji wanted to use Electivire to wear down Pikachu's stamina. Ash wanted to defeat Electivire with Pikachu, so he could only rely on Iron Tail. However, Electivire's tail could restrict Pikachu's movement, so he had to have Pikachu use Rage to lower Shinji's guard."

"It's a very bold and unexpected idea, but it also puts a lot of pressure on Pikachu."

Cynthia praised him generously.

Even so, Pikachu is still a little weaker than Electivire in terms of power.

Da Ye scratched his afro and said.

"It looks like they're evenly matched right now, but Pikachu is floating in the air and has no foothold, while Electivire is standing on the ground. In the end, Electivire will definitely win."

Wu Song hit the nail on the head.

Pikachu gritted its teeth and pressed down hard with its tail, while Electivire was not to be outdone.

"Go for it, Pikachu! I believe you can do it!"

Ash, panting, kept cheering Pikachu on.

Encouraged by Ash, Pikachu exerted even more force on its tail, subtly showing a rhythm that could suppress Electivire.

Pikachu, capable of overwhelming Electivire with its strength, truly lives up to its nickname "Pikachu God."

"Do you remember our first match?"

Shinji looked at Satoshi and suddenly spoke.

Xiao Zhi was stunned for a moment.

"That time you also had Pikachu use Iron Tail, wanting to use Iron Tail to fight Electabuzz."

Shinji said calmly, "We were evenly matched back then."

"Well, but right now, Pikachu and I are sure to win."

Xiao Zhi was full of confidence.

"Pikachu uses Iron Tail and its body floats in the air, meaning it can only use its tail. However, Electivire uses Thunder Punch and only has one hand."

As soon as Shinji finished speaking, Ash realized what was going on.

"So—there's another hand—the nursery, Dali?"

Shinji nodded.

"That's right, this is the trick we learned from Dali, the shopkeeper with the dialect."

"Electric Beast, Brick Break!"

Electivire raised its left hand and slashed down hard at Pikachu.

Pikachu, caught completely off guard, was hit hard in the face by Brick Break, flying away and landing in front of Ash.

Pikachu struggled to its feet, then swayed, its limbs gave way, and it collapsed to the ground, unable to fight.

"Pikachu!"

Ash quickly picked up Pikachu.

While everyone was still in shock that Electivire could use two moves at the same time, Fang Yan's expression changed.

"Miss Gothic!"

The exclamation brought everyone back to their senses, and they looked at Fang Yan.

Miss Goth reacted instantly, arriving in front of Dali, unleashing a powerful surge of mental energy that coalesced into a mental barrier.

As soon as the barrier was formed, four powerful fists slammed into the protective shield.

boom!

The protective shield was riddled with cracks and on the verge of breaking.

The powerful shockwave caused everyone present to gasp in surprise.

"vigorously!"

Upon hearing Fang Yan's words, Dali snapped out of his daze and withdrew his fist.

Miss Goth breathed a sigh of relief and put the protective shield away.

Seeing that nothing around them was damaged, Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I know Dali well enough to let Miss Goth take precautions in time.

Otherwise, we'll be doomed and have to lose money again.

Dali scratched the back of its head sheepishly. Wearing a helmet, it could only pat the back of its head.

"Cough."

Hehe, sorry, I got too excited.

"Cough."

That move was our mistake.

Fang Yan nodded, "It seems your teaching has been very effective."

The dialect gets a thumbs up.

"Did the dialect actually react this time?"

Wu Song was even more shocked.

In the past, every time we launched a major offensive, the dialect didn't react in time.

This time, they actually realized what was happening.

Wusong looked at Miss Goth.

As a psychic king, he truly admired Fang Yan for raising Miss Goth to be so elegant yet powerful.

"It's the final battle, Infernape, go!"

Ash's voice drew everyone's attention. Looking over, they saw the injured and poisoned Infernape standing in front of Ash, its body still engulfed in flames.

"Infernape————"

Sitting on the platform, Team Rocket's trio, Jessie tightly gripped the hands of James and Meowth, her face filled with worry, but James and Meowth were wincing from the pressure.

"Electric Beast, Thunder!"

Electivire plunged its hands and tail into the ground again, and the powerful current lifted up clods of earth, hurling them at Infernape.

"Sonic Fist".

The Infernape, having cleared away the rocks, cried out in pain and swayed precariously.

The poisoning effect is triggered.

"hateful."

Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth.

"Thunder Fist".

"We can do it, Infernape! Hurry up and defeat it! Mach Punch!"

Electivire and Infernape continued to clash.

Fang Yan tapped the armrest in front of him with his fingers, watching the battle on the field intently.

Ash and Paul are like two sides of a piece of paper; even if they share the same goal, their paths are completely different. But it seems that they have come to understand each other now.

Although Ash and Paul had battled several times before, this time they were on the same stage, so both times they fought with all their might, trying to defeat each other, prove themselves, and repay each other's kindness.

That's part of the charm of Pokémon battles, isn't it?

Dialect evokes a myriad of thoughts.

"thunder!"

"Dig a hole!"

Infernape dodged Electivire's thunder by digging a hole, then came directly under Electivire, popped out of the ground, and punched Electivire in the chin, sending it flying.

The results were outstanding.

Electivire twisted its neck, stood up, and roared at Infernape.

"Flame Blast!"

"Hold on."

The green barrier blocked the jet of flame.

"Sonic Fist!"

"Grab it!"

Shinji seized the opportunity when Infernape slowed down, allowing Electivire to use its strong and powerful tail to grab Infernape's arm.

Sonic Punch was forced to stop, and Infernape was too weak to break free from Electivire's restraints.

"It's over, thunder."

The thunder traveled along the tail and reached Infernape. Both Infernape and Electivire were enveloped in lightning, and Infernape let out a painful howl within the lightning.

Electivire loosened its tail, Infernape rolled its eyes, its gaze vacant, and stood motionless on the field.

well.----

The Infernape was in complete darkness, and all it wanted to do was lie down and rest.

"Infernape————"

"Infernape————"

So noisy————

Whose voice is that?

Infernape strained to open its eyes and saw Electivire waving at it from the opposite side.

"roar."

Keep going, come on, you shouldn't only have this much strength.

"Infernape!"

It heard it; it was Ash's voice.

It turned around and found Ash looking at it with a worried expression, his eyes filled with an unprecedented determination.

"Have you forgotten? I believed we could do it."

Xiao Zhi shouted.

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

Come on!

In the audience, Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang were also cheering for it.

On the platform, Musashi threw down her lunchbox, stood up, and shouted, "Go for it, Infernape!"

Kojiro and Nyanko followed closely behind.

"Sonams~"

Even the old man with a lunchbox on his head is cheering.

Host: Where did you get your boxed lunches from?

In the stands, Shana and Tomoyo waved their props.

"Go, Infernape, beat that bastard Electivire!"

Shana is petite, but her voice is surprisingly loud.

Electabuzz: --I've become a villain again?!

And my name is Electabuzz (TT)

"Go for it, blast it away with one punch!"

Zhi Shi made a punching motion and landed a punch on Fang Yan's stomach.

puff----

Fang Yan's facial muscles twitched incessantly, then he coughed twice, forcing his internal organs back down.

Thankfully, it wasn't Shana's fist.

"Laji~"

Keep it up!

"Nini~"

Hearing the cheers coming from all directions, Infernape looked at Shinji across from it.

Shinji still had that deadpan look in his eyes. "He's already pushed your potential to the limit. What about you? What about yourself? Have you thought about going any further? Or are you, like Chimchar, still a useless piece of trash?"

Shinji has a sharp tongue.

"Shinji, you—"

As Infernape listened to Shinji's words, it recalled the pain of being abandoned when it was Chimchar, and the happy times it spent with Ash.

"roar----"

I'm not—

"roar.

Come on, stand up.

The Electrified Beast kept waving its arms.

"roar!!!"

waste!!!!

Infernape felt extremely hot flames erupting from its body.

It stood up, roared at the sky, and the flames on its body turned into pillars of fire that shot straight into the sky. The intense heat made Electabuzz and Shinji reach out to defend themselves.

Here it comes! Here it comes!

The dialect expresses excitement.

The Blaze ability, modified Super Saiyan Infernape, has officially debuted.

"Good heavens! Is this still the Blaze ability?"

Even the Fire-type Elite Four member, Da Ye, was astonished by the blazing flames.

"roar!!!!"

Infernape is still going into its highest stats.

The terrifying flames completely burned away the toxins in the body.

Hiss—nobody said that intense heat can detoxify, right?

Fang Yan looked at the extremely illogical senior brother and couldn't help but complain wildly.

It's unreasonable, completely unreasonable, and totally violates the rules of the battle.

The intense heat reached the stands.

Nine-Tailed Fox wrapped its tail around Fang Yan, absorbing the heat for him.

The pillar of fire disappeared, and Infernape was engulfed in huge flames, staring intently at Electivire.

"Good, Infernape, it's the final blow. Let's go!"

"roar!"

"Sonic Fist!"

"Electrocution Monster, unleash your full power, Thunder Fist!"

Fists clashed.

The Electrified Beast was slowly pushed over.

"Break the tile!"

The Electrified Beast raised its other hand again and slashed down hard.

"Infernape, we can do that too! Mach Punch!"

Infernape's other hand delivered a powerful Sonic Punch to Electivire's face, while Brick Break struck the back of Infernape's neck. Infernape staggered and was about to fall to the ground, but it managed to regain its balance in a strange posture.

The Electabuzz was hit so hard that its head was raised high and its body was constantly retreating.

It looked at the dazzling sunlight overhead and smiled knowingly.

Infernape, you've finally found a truly trustworthy trainer.

I am truly happy for you.

very nice----

Then everything went black and he collapsed.

"Electivire is unable to battle, Infernape has won the final victory, Ash defeated Paul and successfully advanced!"

"Oh!!!!"

A deafening cheer erupted from the stadium.

Everyone was cheering for Infernape.

Ash went to Infernape's side and checked on it. Infernape smiled at Ash and then completely lost consciousness.

"Infernape————"

Fang Yan had Miss Gothic carry him onto the field to begin examining Infernape's injuries.

He was badly injured and on the verge of death.

They fought almost at the cost of their lives.

Fangyan directed Miss Goth to treat the Infernape.

Shinji put away Electivire and looked at the Electivire Poké Ball in his hand.

The Poké Ball wobbled slightly.

The Poké Ball in my pocket was also shaking.

Sensing their apology, Shinji took a deep breath and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, and I'm sorry."

The Poké Ball stopped shaking.

Fang Yan looked up at Shinji.

Even though Shinji still doesn't say things like "I believe in you" or "You can do it" in his current battles, the fact that he can say thank you and apologize to his Pokémon shows that Shinji has improved a lot, right?

A knowing smile in dialect.

As Ash watched Shinji's departing figure, he looked up and called out.

"Shinji————"

Shinji didn't even turn his head.

"Go."

Fang Yan patted him on the shoulder.

"The Dialect Shop Manager —"

Xiao Zhi looked at Fang Yan and found that Fang Yan was looking at him dangerously.

"Don't you have a lot to say to him? Go ahead, I'm here, don't worry."

"Um.

""

Ash nodded emphatically, then chased after Shinji's retreating figure.

After Ash left, Fang Yan, Miss Gothic, and Roserade treated Infernape and then handed it over to Nurse Joy. He then looked at Gengar, who was biting a handkerchief and crying with tears streaming down its face.

Am I being a sentimental ghost today?

"Alright, we won, so why are you crying?"

"Kou Jie————"

You don't understand —

"That's enough. You're already ugly, and you'll look even uglier when you cry."

"Kou Jie"

It's none of your business.

I tugged at Gengar's lips, forcing it to smile.

"That's right, why does this cute, chubby little devil have to cry like a big, flowery ghost?"

Fang Yan let go of Gengar's hand, patted its butt, and said, "Let's go, let's follow them."

After saying that, he left with Gengar and the others.
