Pokémon, I summon my fists to attack you

Charmander opened his mouth, revealing his sharp teeth! A cyan light shone from his claws once again!

Seeing this, Aju frowned slightly.

The speed is completely restricted... It seems that I can only take this move head-on!

He immediately made a choice.

"Rush out into the flames!"

The Crossbat is also a ruthless guy. He endured the burning sensation, flapped his wings hard, and flew through the sea of ​​fire!

Just as they rushed out of the sea of ​​fire, they heard Xiaozhi shouting.

"Spray flames!"

The pillar of fire followed closely behind! Like a maggot attached to a bone, it tightly wrapped around it! In an instant, it splashed onto the cross-shaped bat!

"Cough!"

The cross-bat, whose body was already charred, suffered new wounds!

"Great! The offense and defense have reversed!"

Xiaoxia cheered Xiaozhi up.

Upon hearing this, Ah Ju raised the corners of his mouth, with a hint of deep meaning in his smile. It was true that the offense and defense had been reversed, but he was not the one who should be anxious!

The little fire dragon, which was spitting flames, suddenly showed a strange look on its face, and felt waves of pain all over its body! The raging flames also stopped!

"what happened?!"

Xiaozhi also noticed that Charmander's face looked different and was glowing purple.

Ah Ju chuckled.

"It's poisoning!"

Explained to Xiaozhi.

"The moth didn't leave without doing anything. Even while enduring the pain of the burning flames, it spread poison powder..."

It's like a silent conspiracy, quietly filling the air...

Poison powder is like an invisible killer. Just a little bit of it will pose a huge threat to the opponent!

This is the Crimson Gym that specializes in poison!

The balance of victory has slowly tilted towards him!

Now as long as it drags on, he will be the winner!

Aju raised his hand and snapped his fingers crisply.

"Fair wind!"

The wind of victory is blowing from behind me, Aju!

The speed of the Crossbat has reached a new level!

The purple phantom kept flickering in the air, and the flames of the little fire dragon, which was trying hard to stay awake, could not reach its erratic figure at all!

So, boy...how are you going to deal with this?!

"smokescreen!"

All I heard was Xiaozhi shouting.

In an instant, endless black fog surged out from the little fire dragon and spread rapidly like a black wave!

Interfering with vision?

"But don't forget, my Pokémon is a bat!"

Aju raised the corner of his mouth, as if mocking Xiaozhi's decision.

"Use ultrasound!"

The cross-bat emitted a harsh ultrasonic sound, and the scene within the black fog was clearly visible in its mind!

Totally ineffective!

Beads of sweat the size of beans fell from Xiaozhi's head, and the CPU started to spin rapidly.

The situation suddenly came to a standstill!

Both of them watched each other, and neither took the initiative to attack.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Aju thought secretly.

Calculating the time, Charmander should be reaching his limit...

Then he wins this round...!

"Use the final vortex of fire!"

Xiaozhi commanded.

The little fire dragon in the black fog endured the erosion of the poison and used all its strength to drive the flames! The flames enveloped the crossbat!

What? A vortex of flames?

It's just a dying struggle!

"Keep your distance!"

Aju said calmly.

Whoosh!

The cross-bat left the range of the flames in a flash!

"It's no use!"

"Roar!!!"

Ash and Charmander roared at the same time.

Suddenly, the vortex of flames in the black fog seemed to be injected with powerful energy, and it suddenly expanded and its power increased dramatically!

It's a fierce fire!

The raging fire is ignited!

The vortex of flames at this moment was like a huge fireball, with the momentum of destroying everything, swallowing up everything around it!

The cross-bat quickly flapped its wings and flew high!

But it's too late!

I heard you are very fast?

Then I will expand the range of my skills to the limit of your speed!!

"Roar!!!!!"

Charmander roared to the sky!

Turn the fire to the maximum level!

The flames chased after the Crossbat closely, constantly approaching!

Finally, it was devoured mercilessly!

"Cough!!!"

The cross-bat let out a mournful cry!

Aju showed a look of understanding, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He understood Xiaozhi's tactics.

"I see. You've been deliberately suppressing your stamina just to activate your special ability at this critical moment..."

The flames gradually died down, and the Crossbat, having lost its ability to fight, fell down!

Aju took back the cross-bat.

After a moment of silence, Aju threw a green fruit to Xiaozhi, his eyes full of kindness.

"Nice win! This is the Muzi fruit that can detoxify you."

"Brother Aju, you are very strong too."

The two of them praised each other's business.

Xiaozhi touched Charmander's big bald head and handed the fruit to it.

The little fire dragon didn't suspect anything and swallowed the fruit in one gulp.

Spicy, bitter and sweet.

A strange taste spread in the mouth, causing the purple face to twitch slightly.

But soon the purple color on Charmander's face faded away.

"Roar!"

Aju watched the two interacting from the side, and his heart was slightly moved.

I couldn't help but think of myself and Arbok at that time.

In order to increase the toxicity, he ate the poison while eating the strange-tasting wood fruit to detoxify it.

...

"This badge is yours now."

He asked casually, handing over the pink badge.

"By the way, young man, you still don't know your name?"

Xiaozhi confidently pulled his hat up and replied, "My name is Xiaozhi."

Aju should have heard of his name more or less. After all, he is considered a semi-celebrity in the Kanto region.

"Ash!? You're the Ash that Sheba was talking about?!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Aju's eyes. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him was the legendary Ash.

He gripped the badge tightly and punched the wall with his backhand.

"Damn it! I missed out on the title of Fifth Heavenly King! If I had known earlier, I would have sent in my ace, Arbok!"

Xiaozhi: "???"

Seeing the badge being taken away before it was even handed over, Xiaozhi was filled with questions.

"You're not going to fight me again, are you?"

"That's not the case. If you lose, you lose."

Aju waved his hand.

"But...what did Brother Sheba say about me?"

Xiaozhi touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

It's all Entertainment Daily's fault. They spread the word and made him look like someone who stepped on Brother Xiba to get to the top.

But since my brother is such an open-minded person, I guess he wouldn’t care...right?

Aju looked at Xiaozhi's face, which showed a strange expression, and asked, "Don't you know?"

Then, he frowned and said slowly, "Shiba has already announced that since you are the Fifth Heavenly King, we should not hold back when we meet you. We should just fight you to death. Whoever wins will inherit the title."

Xiaozhi: "?"

Athena was shocked when she heard this.

Although nothing was revealed in this battle.

But since Hiba has said so, even if Xiaozhi's strength is not as good as the Four Heavenly Kings, he won't be too far behind...

Xiaozhi's mouth twitched. This guy is quite petty.

"Bring it to you!"

To avoid any further complications, he pretended to snatch the badge.
