Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master

"Don't let our defeated opponent steal our thunder! Quick Fist Man, absorb the punch!"

Quick Fist Lang's attacks are swift and powerful, and his fan fighting skills are truly outstanding.

"Monkey monster, cross slash!"

The two sides exchanged blows and clashed repeatedly.

However, Quick-Punchman's size is too advantageous; his reach is longer than Monkey's, and his strength is also greater.

Another powerful straight punch came flying in.

"There's no way to dodge it! Monkey monster, cross your arms in defense!"

After several direct confrontations, the monkey monster managed to defend against them all, but unexpectedly, Quick Punch suddenly changed direction and launched a heavy attack from the side.

The monkey monster was sent flying and crashed into the railing next to the arena.

This attack hit the nail on the head!

The entire audience fell silent and watched the monkey monster with bated breath.

The monkey monster struggled to its feet, its hands trembling uncontrollably, its heart pounding, and its body drenched in cold sweat.

Ash noticed Mankey's condition.

"Monkey monster, can you hold on...?"

"Roar, roar!"

Struggling to its feet, the monkey monster pointed a finger at the fast-fisted man, determined to fight again!

"He is a truly respectable opponent."

Uncle Fandou looked at the monkey monster with an appreciative gaze.

"Fast Punch Man pays the highest tribute to our opponent, a million-ton punch!"

Quick-Punch Man's million-ton punch once again struck a vital spot.

He was knocked down again, but the monkey monster still did not give up, his index finger bending and straightening repeatedly.

Ash understood Mankey's thoughts and silently turned his hat around.

"I know your fighting spirit all too well, you monkey monster. Come on, stand up!"

Our battle is not over yet!

With Ash's roar, Ash and Mankey became one, and an amazing light burst forth from Mankey's body.

"This is...this is the light of evolution!"

The host shouted in the broadcasting studio, and the entire audience erupted in cheers.

"Roar, Roar, Roar!"

The evolved Primeape leaps up from its spot and recovers its condition.

Furthermore, due to its own characteristic of targeting acupoints with anger, its attack power increases to an exaggerated level when a vital point is hit.

[Congratulations, host, on achieving the achievement: Turn the tide! : Make your Pokémon evolve during a battle]

"Alright! Infernape, Fist of Rage!"

"Don't think we'll give up, Speedy Fist Lang!"

The two Pokémon charged at each other quickly, punching each other in the cheeks from the left and right.

Xiao Zhi shouted.

"Fist of Fury, Fist of Fury, Fist of Fury!"

The fan-wielding uncle on the other side was not to be outdone.

"Sonic Fist, Sonic Fist, Sonic Fist!"

In the midst of the fierce exchange, the cheers from the audience grew louder and louder.

Finally, thanks to the attack boost from its ability, Primeape's final blow, Rage Punch, knocked out Hitmonlee.

"Punchman is unable to fight, Infernape wins!"

Chapter 42 Stinky Mud

After the match, Shan Dou and his daughter Ai Mei reconciled and decided to go home and start a fighting training class.

Although he participated in the competition every year and was the runner-up every year, this actually helped him accumulate a lot of popularity.

He was more popular than many champions in the P1 competition, so his training courses were very successful, which was a happy ending for everyone.

After receiving the award, Ash put the Gold Belt on Primeape.

"Xiao Zhi, didn't you say you were going to sell it? This can sell for 50!"

Xiaoxia looked at Xiaozhi, who was wiping his belt, and asked him in confusion.

"This is my first championship, and Infernape seems to really like the gold belt."

Ash smiled with satisfaction as he watched the Infernape jumping around excitedly.

"I'm not selling it anymore."

However, after his victory, Incineroar seemed to have become a little reckless.

He directly challenged Hao Li, who was passing by, by making two hand gestures.

Then he was knocked unconscious by Machoke's two Earth Throws, followed by a Brick Break to end the fight.

"It seems that Master Tanhua is still just a nobody in front of Haoli."

------------

After traveling for several more days, a somewhat dilapidated city, Black Cloud City, finally came into view of Ash and his friends.

"I heard this area is full of factories and should be very bustling, so why are the streets so deserted?"

The sea breeze carried the smell of mud, which made Xiaoxia very unhappy.

At that moment, Ash noticed that Pikachu at his feet seemed a little strange.

"Pikachu, are you alright?"

Quickly pick up Pikachu and observe it.

Tiny electric currents kept emanating from its cheeks, and its face was red and it looked weak and listless.

“Pikachu…”

Giving it a system-wide stamina potion didn't help.

Other items in the store, such as the portable medical pod for 800 million, the universal healing potion for 150 million, or even as high as 5000 million, are all unaffordable for Ash.

And what's the point of Gundam in the Pokémon world? Why is it more expensive than a Master Ball?

Ash and Misty had no choice but to quickly take Pikachu to the Pokémon Center.

"Don't worry, it's just a viral cold."

Miss Joy took Pikachu and examined it.

"Just rest overnight in the treatment machine at the center and you'll be fine."

Hearing what Nurse Joy said, Ash finally felt relieved.

I originally wanted to leave quickly, but it seems I'll have to spend the night at the Pokémon Center now.

However, shortly after Pikachu entered the treatment room, all the lights in the center suddenly went out.

Miss Joey rushed out, "Something terrible has happened! It seems the power plant is experiencing a power outage!"

"The center's backup generator broke down a while ago, and now all the equipment has stopped. What are we going to do? There are still many Pokémon that need emergency treatment."

Upon hearing this, Ash quickly stood up. "Then my Pikachu..."

"Ash, let's go check out the power plant!" Misty immediately asked Nurse Joy for directions to the power plant.

"Well, waiting like this isn't going to work, let's go."

[Ding! Side quest triggered: Every second counts!: Please restore power to the power plant within four hours.]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1000; Speed ​​+2; Regional Favorability +8; Regional Prestige +5]

Ash, carrying Misty, ran with all his might to the power plant, pushed open the control room door, grabbed someone at random, and asked...

Why is there a power outage?

The staff inside were also sweating profusely with anxiety.

"We use seawater for hydroelectric power generation here, but for some reason the generator's water inlet is blocked by stinky mud."

"None of us are trainers, so we can only wait for reinforcements."

Knowing the problem makes things easier. Ash said he was the trainer and took out his Pokédex to ask the staff for the location of Grimer.

But Ash soon realized he had oversimplified things.

As soon as I got down to the machine's water inlet, I was attacked by a horde of stinky slimes, at least twenty of them.

The terrifying stench hit us.

"Oh my god, what is that smell?!"

Xiaoxia fainted from the stench immediately.

This smell is 100 times worse than shit!

Even Ash couldn't take it anymore, so he immediately stopped breathing and bought a gas mask from the store.

But it was no use; the stench seemed to penetrate the skin and strike straight to the soul, impossible to defend against.

"It stinks! It stinks!"

"No, we have to take care of them right now!"

Pikachu is still recovering at the Pokémon Center. If the generator problem isn't resolved soon, all the Pokémon at the center will be in danger.

Ash wanted to personally take the field and finish the battle quickly, but it was so disgusting that he didn't even want to use Aura Sensing.

It feels like the waveguide power touched them, and the waveguide became dirty.

"Go for it, Incineroar! I choose you!"

Perhaps blinded by the stench, Ash actually sent out his Primeape, which has a keen sense of smell.

The moment Incineroar appeared, before it could even finish making its hand gestures, it immediately smelled the terrifying odor.

"Huh?" (What's that smell?)

"Roar, roar, roar!" (Ah! It's snow!)

With its mouth crooked, eyes slanted, and foaming at the mouth, the fiery monkey was literally knocked unconscious by the stench.

"Primegas! Damn it, all my Pokémon, come at me!"

Ash, whose tolerance for the stench was nearing its limit, could no longer hold back and threw out all the Poké Balls at once.

The Pokémon's faces were all distorted by the stench as soon as they appeared.

Clefairy and Garchomp were unable to use any moves and simply passed out from the stench.

Only Machamp and Tyrannosaurus Rex were unharmed, while Scyther held on by sheer willpower.

Although Machamp and Ironhide were initially put off by the bad smell, they later expressed a growing liking for them.

"Haoli, Haoli!" (Very fresh!)

"Wow, wow!" (So delicious!)

"Don't get carried away, attack quickly! Machoke, use your low kick, Ironclad Tyrannosaurus Stone Collapse!"
