Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

He quickly gave instructions.

"Light wall! Reflective wall!"

3V3 and 1V1 are different. The latter focuses on individual combat ability, while the former focuses more on teamwork!

Unlike Ash, who turned a 3v3 battle into a 1v1 with wide-ranging and aggressive moves.

He, Xiao Mao, had already figured out the secret!

His fighting style is all about slicing through flesh with a knife!

By continuously accumulating subtle advantages, you can secure your victory!

At the very moment that the Abandoned Monkey raised its fist, the Mr. Mime, having received the command, also moved swiftly.

It suddenly pushed its hands outwards!

Two semi-transparent light curtains suddenly bloomed in front of it!

Wall of Light!

Reflective wall!

"Oh! So it's about weakening the opponent's offensive capabilities first!"

Seeing this, Kojiro, who had already perfectly assumed the role of commentator, slammed his hand on the table.

"Light Wall reduces damage from special attacks, Reflective Wall reduces physical damage..."

"This is to withstand the Abandoned Monkey's furious punch and lay the groundwork for the battle to come!"

Inspired by Kojiro, Meow Meow, who had been catching up on the contestants' experiences, spoke up.

"As expected of the infamous Shigeru, known for his dirty tactics!"

Musashi, the only one whose microphone wasn't on, nodded emphatically.

"really!"

In the arena, the Abandoned Monkey's furious fist had already slammed into the light screen.

"Om-!"

The moment the fist made contact with the light screen, a visible ripple spread through the air.

The abandoned monkey felt as if its power had been diverted into countless narrow channels, spreading outwards from the peak of its fist.

Its power, which was originally concentrated in one point, was actually mostly dissipated.

But with that kind of power, it's enough to make the opponent run for their life!

The monkey clenched its teeth, its punches increasing rather than decreasing, continuing to press forward.

Just as the punch was about to land on Mr. Mime's face, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared in front of Mr. Mime!

"Bang—!!!"

A muffled thud, like a heavy hammer striking the surface of a cowhide drum.

The barrier in front of Mr. Mime only swayed slightly, but the Abandoned Monkey was knocked back several steps by the impact of the punch!

"Bari!"

Seeing the abandoned monkey being knocked back, Mr. Mime just smiled arrogantly.

It's no wonder that these are Gary's Pokémon.

That smile was a perfect imitation, even making the highly composed Abandoned Monkey feel a surge of anger.

"Abandoned Monkey! Let's try again!"

"Pfft!"

Suppressing his anger, the Abandoned Monkey shouted in a deep voice.

With its legs slightly bent and its waist and abdomen twisting suddenly, it once again used that masterful technique of dissipating force.

With a swift flip, he transformed the recoil into forward momentum, and with a stomp of his toes, he launched another attack!

The punch was delivered from the side of the waist, striking directly at the center of the barrier!

Seeing that the trajectory of this punch was no different from the previous one, the Mr. Mighty wanted to raise that mocking smile again.

But then Xiao Zhi let out a sharp shout!

"Now!"

The Abandoned Monkey Fist style suddenly changed—

With a flick of the wrist and a drop of the elbow, the fist, which was originally pushing flat, instantly tightens, the knuckles protrude, and the palm transforms into a cone.

From surface to point!

The speed has increased by another three points!

You should know that its angry punches get stronger the more it's thrown!

"boom--!"

One punch!

The weapon struck the barrier squarely, and with a crisp sound, the barrier shattered into countless fragments!

The punches continued.

As the Abandoned Monkey exerted force with his foot, before the audience's gasps could even reach their throats, his fist had already slammed solidly into the Mr. Mime's chest!

In an instant, the Mr. Mime flew backward like a kite with a broken string!

With a thud, it fell to the edge of the field!

The referee stepped forward to inspect the area, then waved the flag.

"Mr. Mime, unable to fight!"

"This...this was a one-second kill?!"

The audience was somewhat bewildered.

"These two layers of defense combined couldn't even last a second?! That's incredibly weak!"

However, Ash in the arena did not make a move, and even frowned more and more as he looked at the fallen Mr. Mime.

Not right.

Something's 90% off!

The Mr. Mime was dealt with far too easily. Logically, with the power of that punch, it shouldn't have been able to kill him instantly.

Ash and Abandoned have fought side by side for so long, he knows very well how heavy his partner's punches are.

What just happened seemed almost like it was intentional on their part, especially considering their strange action at the start of the fight...

not good!

Ash turned to look at the abandoned monkey, only to see its knees suddenly buckle.

The arm that had just unleashed a stunning punch hung limply, its grayish-white muscles visibly loose.

A hint of confusion flashed in those compassionate eyes—

Then, it just fell straight down.

"boom!"

Its grayish-white body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The referee ran over quickly, knelt on one knee, checked the situation, stood up again, and waved the flag once more.

"The Abandoned Monkey is unable to fight! Both sides have simultaneously lost their ability to fight!"

The entire room fell silent.

The excitement on the audience's faces hadn't even faded before it froze into astonishment.

Nobody understood what had happened.

Kojiro in the commentary booth also had his mouth open, unable to utter a single word.

The audience looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What's going on? Why did the abandoned monkey collapse on its own?"

"It was deflected by a damage reflection skill? No, wait, I clearly saw it punch the opponent and send them flying..."

"Referee! Is there something wrong with the field?!"

The discussions grew louder, with all sorts of wild guesses flying around.

In the VIP section, Yu Longdu sat high on the viewing platform.

He stared at the Mr. Mime in the arena for a long time, then turned to look at Kikuko.

"Same fate?"

Sitting next to her was an elderly woman named Kikuko, who was leaning on a cane and tapping her withered fingers on the end of the cane.

Her gleaming eyes glanced at Xiao Mao with considerable disdain.

"Ah."

"It is a shared fate achieved through imitation."

Kikuko remained expressionless.

By getting stuck in a Poké Ball and using the mimicry technique to record Destiny Bond before the battle, it avoided the suspicion of Pokémon that had mastered the Destiny Bond move.

They even used Black Gaze to block Pokémon's switching in advance just to take out one of the opponent's Pokémon...

I have to say, this kid has some ideas.

But then again...

Kikuko gently rubbed the tip of the cane with her withered fingers.

Why is this kid so sinister?

She remembered that Daiki wasn't like this when he was young.
