Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

Page 149

Each strike contained the power to shatter rocks and split stones, and its speed was so fast that even Ash's [Agility] was inadequate.

Fan: Euler Euler Euler —

Xiao Zhi: No carrying, no carrying, no carrying—

Ash gritted his teeth and pushed his perception and speed to the limit.

He desperately dodged and parried the attacks from the raging storm.

He could "see" the direction of every move and anticipate the landing point of the attack, but his body felt like it was stuck in a sticky swamp, always a beat too slow.

Just like in Naruto, even after Sasuke awakened the Sharingan, he still couldn't beat Rock Lee.

Dynamic vision is good, but physical reaction speed is not.

"boom!"

A heavy elbow strike grazed Ash's ribs.

Even though he avoided a direct confrontation, the resulting wind pressure and residual force still made Ash's blood boil.

"Snapped!"

Although Ash dodged the low sweep kick by jumping up, the force of the kick still caused a burning pain in his calf.

The gap is too big.

This is not a difference in skill or willpower, but a complete and overwhelming superiority in pure physical attributes, strength, speed, and combat instincts honed through countless trials.

Faced with absolute power, the mental strength that has just begun to be cultivated seems so pale.

After only three or five moves, Ash already seemed to be in grave danger—because Fan-Fighting hadn't hit any vital points, so it was just a dangerous situation to watch.

But how long has Ash been training?

To have this level of strength in such a short time is already terrifying.

Of course, the main issue is the constitution bonus given by the five badges.

Even if the individual constitution bonus is very small.

Five badges stacked on top of each other is quite a lot.

When it comes to physical fitness, even a slight deficiency can make a difference between "being able" and "not being able."

at last.

After a swift, feinting jab from the fan, the real killing move was about to begin.

He turned and used the momentum to deliver a powerful and tricky front kick, like a lurking venomous snake, suddenly aimed at his chest.

Theoretically speaking, this move should have been aimed at the stomach.

However, Fan Dou only trains with Satoshi.

Who exercises by aiming for the opponent's vital points?

Although Fanto usually aims for vital points when battling his Pokémon.

But it's impossible to do that against a newbie.

Ash's Aura senses a frantic warning, but his old power is exhausted and new power has not yet been generated. His body is in a state of stiffness after dodging a feint, and he can only watch helplessly as the large foot wearing the dojo's special shoes rapidly enlarges in front of him.

The only thing you can do is curl up and use your arms to block.

"Bam—!"

The resounding sound of a solid hit echoed throughout the dojo.

Ash felt as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding Snorlax.

A sharp pain shot through my abdomen, and I was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

He traced a helpless arc in the air before crashing heavily onto a soft mat several meters away, kicking up a little dust.

"Cough...cough..."

Ash curled up on the mat, clutching his stomach, and coughed violently.

He felt as if his internal organs had shifted, and his vision blurred.

Even if I try to block it with my arm, it still hurts.

but--

It feels really good to release the pressure in your heart.

pain?

It hurts, but it feels good!

"Again!" Ash roared, got up from the ground, and charged at Fanboro!

Pain stimulates the secretion of large amounts of adrenaline.

My vision blurred, and I seemed to lose my sight and hearing.

The world was a chaotic mess, a mixture of swirling fluctuations.

—Waveguide, I can feel it!

—This is the fluctuation of the dark world!

—Yes, I can use it!

Ash stopped dodging and instead channeled all his strength and speed into his fists and feet, launching a fierce and relentless attack.

Although his punches and kicks were somewhat immature, his reckless momentum and the burning fighting spirit in his eyes suppressed Shan Dou for a short time, forcing him to switch from offense to defense and parry repeatedly.

Ash: Ora Ora Ora!

Fan: No load, no load, no load!

Fan Dou calmly responded, his eyes filled with even greater appreciation.

He parried Xiaozhi's straight punch and keenly spotted the tiny opening the boy had made due to excessive force—the gap under his right ribs!

It's now!

Just as Shan Dou was about to retaliate, a sudden change occurred.

He felt as if an invisible barrier had instantly enveloped him, cutting off all his sensory signals—sight, hearing, touch—in an instant.

The world was plunged into absolute, chilling darkness and deathly silence, and he could not even feel the existence of his own body.

"what?!"

This unprecedented experience caused even the battle-hardened fan fighter to freeze for a moment, his mind went blank, and his body movements completely stopped.

This is the opportunity Ash has been waiting for!

He finally unleashed the [waveguide power] that had boiled under extreme pressure and become clear amidst pain.

It erupted all at once, like a flood bursting its banks!

—The fluctuations of the dark world!

—Come out here!

This force not only interfered with Fan Dou's five senses, but also flowed through Xiao Zhi's entire body like a stimulant, instantly boosting his nerve reactions and muscle strength to an unprecedented peak.

Although I'm a beginner and can't yet create a real wave missile.

However, under the lock of fighting spirit, the chaotic waveguide energy poured into Sendou all at once, interfering with his perception.

"Drink——!"

Using the momentum of his forward charge, Ash's body spun rapidly.

He combined his entire body weight with the explosive power of the moment, delivering a simple, all-out spinning side kick.

Like a cannon shot, it slammed into the chest and abdomen of the stiffened, wide-open fan-shaped opening!

The side kick with a step is the most powerful move that an ordinary person can use. Clearly, in such a thrilling battle, Ash got carried away.

"Bang——!!!"

A deep, resounding boom, like the beating of a giant drum, echoed through the dojo.

The burly man was kicked so hard that he flew backwards, as if he had been launched by a catapult, tracing a brief parabola.

With a loud bang, it slammed heavily against the solid wall behind it.

The vibrations made the scrolls on the wall rattle before they slowly slid to the ground.

The entire temple was completely silent.

The fan sticking to the wall was a little confused—what?

All the Fighting-type Pokémon watching stared wide-eyed, looking at the scene in disbelief.

Charizard opened its mouth wide.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were so shocked they couldn't speak.

After the successful attack, the [Aura] power that had been supporting Ash receded like a tide, followed by an intense feeling of exhaustion as if his soul had been drained and strong protests from all parts of his body.

Xiao Zhi's vision went black, and his exhausted legs could no longer support his body, causing him to collapse forward.

He could only kneel on one knee, barely supporting himself on the ground with his hands, panting heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead like a stream.

how to say?

...I've only just started learning waveguides, yet they're already being used in practice.

That's why Lucario isn't there.

If Lucario were here, even the dogs would be dumbfounded.

Lucario: Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!

Lucario: Am I the Aura Pokémon, or are you the Aura Pokémon?

Unfortunately, that big blue dog is no longer here.

"Cough...cough cough..." The fan in the corner clutched his chest, coughed a few times in a somewhat disheveled manner, and slowly stood up.

He looked at Xiaozhi, who was kneeling and panting, and instead of being angry, his eyes blazed with an unprecedentedly intense light.

"Good lad...you're really something!" Shan Dou's voice was a little hoarse, but full of joy and excitement.

"That just now... was it a waveguide?"

"You actually managed to do this in battle!"
