Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

Page 154

Ash's feint created a real opportunity for Charmeleon to kill, while Charmeleon's pounce covered Ash's unexpected close-range attack.

"Now! Sonic Fist!" Fan Dou shouted sharply, seizing an opening.

Mosquito Coil Swimmer's fist instantly blurred into a blur, striking the Charizard's open chest.

"Protect him!" Ash noticed this as soon as he got away, and now it was time to coordinate.

At the critical moment, he concentrated his wave guide in his hand and attacked the Mosquito Coil Warrior's fist from the side.

"Oh!"

With a heavy thud, the Mosquito Coil Warrior's fist was deflected.

This is the way of fighting for a martial artist.

Countering an attack with an attack doesn't mean you have to fight head-on.

Attacking from the side and deflecting the opponent's attack is also part of the strategy of countering attack with attack.

This is using offense as a form of defense!

With a heavy thud, Ash retreated, using the momentum to roll and dissipate the force, while shouting to the Charmeleon behind him, "Don't worry about me! Use Flamethrower to block its movement!"

"Gah!" A hint of worry flashed in Charmeleon's eyes, but more so, it was the ferocious fighting spirit ignited by Ash's protection.

"Roar--"

A blazing column of fire erupted, forcing the mosquito coil swimmers who wanted to give chase to retreat.

Fan Dou's eyes showed even greater appreciation: "A fine interception and counterattack!"

"But that's not enough!"

"Mosquito coil swimmer, surf!"

The fan-wielding technique is gradually increasing the intensity of the battle.

He wanted to gradually push Ash to unleash his full potential.

Mosquito Warrior, of course, understands his trainer's thoughts.

"Yo-boo!" Poliwag slapped the ground with both hands, and a powerful current of water appeared out of nowhere, turning into a giant wave that swept across the entire field and attacked Ash and Charmeleon indiscriminately.

This move is powerful and covers a huge area, but it doesn't deal much damage to a single target.

After all, this is just a preliminary step for [Fan Fighting - Water Combat Style].

Faced with this area-of-effect attack, Ash and Charmeleon remained calm.

The exchange of blows over the past few days seemed to have allowed their wills to find a point of resonance through high-speed movement and the connection with waveguides.

"Charmeleon!" Ash shouted in his heart, channeling the burning passion and untamed will that he had felt in Charmeleon through countless collisions into his Aura!

And so he did it in battle!

The burning flames released by Charmeleon seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, transforming into streaks of fire that, as if possessing a life of their own, wrapped around Ash's right fist along that invisible bond.

call--

Ash's entire right arm was instantly engulfed in raging flames.

The flames were not an illusion, but a solid entity condensed with explosive energy.

The air distorted under the high temperature, and scorching waves of air spread outwards.

"Take this—Fire Fist!"

Ash roared, carrying the will to burn everything, and punched the oncoming giant wave!

"What?!" Xiaoxia suddenly stood up and covered her mouth in disbelief.

Xiao Gang's pupils also suddenly contracted: "Directing fire attribute energy into oneself is too dangerous!!"

Xiao Gang certainly knew that the fighters would do that.

However, fighters generally use attributes like water, earth, and grass, which at least won't harm themselves.

For example, Shiba, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, uses rocks.

Not only can it attach to the body to form armor, but it can also throw stones off its body to attack.

With more exercise, lightning can further stimulate the body and achieve even greater speed.

But fire is generally not used by many people.

"Pikachu~" Pikachu: (?????)

Pikachu: It's a waveguide!

With the Aura protecting him, Ash wasn't so easily hurt by the flames.

A blazing fist of fire clashed violently with a giant wave of icy water!

"laugh--!!!"

A massive amount of water vapor instantly evaporated and burst forth.

White mist filled the entire temple grounds, making it feel as if one were instantly immersed in a sea of clouds.

The struggle between the flames and the water produced a fierce hiss.

As the fog dissipated slightly, Ash was seen panting slightly, still in his punching stance, his whole body soaked.

The flames on his right arm slowly subsided, his sleeve was charred and torn, but the exposed skin was not burned, only blushing red.

"Roar!" Charizard excitedly pounded its chest with both hands, making a thumping sound.

There was a layer of water up to knee-deep on the ground around the dojo.

While it somewhat hindered movement, it also lowered the ambient temperature.

Fan Dou was taken aback for a moment, then burst into an even more unrestrained laugh: "Hahahaha!"

"Good! What a brilliant Fire Fist!"

"Kid, you really are an incredible monster!"

"I knew you could do that!"

His fighting spirit was completely ignited, and his eyes gleamed with the excitement of a predator: "Since that's the case! I'm here too!"

Before he could finish speaking, Shan Dou took a deep breath.

He bent low and stood up, stretching out his hands to the mosquito coil swimmer next to him: "Old buddy, let's go too!"

"Yo-bo!" The mosquito coil swimmer understood immediately.

Its body shimmered with a deep blue light.

The water on the dojo floor flowed like gentle ribbons, quickly wrapping around Shan Dou's arms and torso, eventually forming a flowing, water-armor-like outer layer on his body.

This is the Water-type Pokémon move – Play in Water.

Since fighters team up with their Pokémon to battle, they naturally have their own unique characteristics.

Some people choose brute force alone.

There's also the practice of enchanting oneself.

Sunlight shines through the water vapor, refracting a dreamlike glow.

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia have completely lost their ability to speak; their mouths are so wide open they could fit an elf egg inside.

Although I've heard of it before.

But this is the first time I've seen it up close.

Trainers can not only guide attribute power, but also make it their own.

This is not what Pokémon and trainers did before the League was established.

Back then, this mode was still quite common in open-world battles.

It's just that they're becoming increasingly rare these days.

—High-level trainers generally have good physical attributes.

After all, if your physical condition is too poor, you might accidentally die while interacting with your Pokémon.

Well... the fact that the humans in this world are not ordinary humans is a great advantage.

Humans in the Pokémon world are considered a type of Pokémon, not carbon-based monkeys.

Meanwhile, the Misdreavus floating next to Misty looked at Ash's burning fist and then at Fanbubble's flowing armor.

His big eyes were first filled with shock, then a deep sense of loss and frustration welled up inside.

“Mah ham…”

The dream demon let out two low, mournful cries.

It remembered seeing Ash and Pikachu secretly training under the moonlight late at night a couple of days ago.

At that time, the golden arcs of electricity that jumped on Pikachu also wrapped around Ash's body.

Although it was only for a moment, it was dazzling.

—I really want to…

—I really want to pass on my strength and feelings to Ash…

However, the energy of the Ghost type is unpredictable and full of negative chills, making it extremely difficult to control. If one is not careful, it can even corrode the body of a living being.

Misdreavus can't be as hot and direct as Pikachu's lightning or Charmeleon's flames, nor can it be as gentle and controllable as Poliwag's water flow...

Although Ash can use Aura to forcibly control Ghost-type powers.

However, the current result is 1+1<1.

It's not that it can't be done, but the cost-effectiveness is too low.

This kind of thing can only be discussed after further cultivation.

In fact, Charmeleon's Flame and Pikachu's Thunder are relatively difficult to control.

Gyarados's Water and Pidgeotto's Wind are the easiest to control.

However, the lower the difficulty of the operation, the lower the enhancement level.

Water and wind do not cause the same direct damage as fire and thunder.

But this also means that when the AI can control the power of the Dream Demon... the amplification will be quite terrifying, right?

Xiao Zhi tried this after the previous fan-shaking tutorial.

However, at that time, his test results were not practical.

Energy can only be manipulated using waveguides when one is highly focused.
