20demayo Chapter 436 Flame Fist and Lightning Fist
Chapter 436 Flame Fist and Lightning Fist
"Mr. Daiya, even if you hadn't said anything, I would still have challenged Mr. Denji." Ash's eyes were burning, his tone firm, without the slightest hesitation.
After all, his goal was to challenge the Seaside Gym, and he also wanted to gain valuable experience for his Pokémon, which didn't have much battle experience, through his battle with Denji.
Upon hearing this, Da Ye was taken aback for a moment, then burst into a hearty laugh. He patted Xiao Zhi's shoulder forcefully, his gesture filled with an indescribable sense of closeness: "Haha! As expected! I knew you wouldn't let me down!"
"What the league needs right now is a young man with drive like you! Whether it's Wusong or Cynthia, they always have too many concerns before they do anything, they're too conservative!"
"I think it's more that Mr. Da Ye's drive was a bit too much..."
"Yes."
The two people standing behind Ash whispered their thoughts to each other.
......
After learning from Ash that he would be challenging the Seaside Gym, Da Ye finally felt relieved.
However, it wasn't in Da Ye's nature to ask someone for a favor for no reason, so he said, "Speaking of which, Ash, does your Infernape only know Mach Punch?"
Da Ye recalled the information he had read and asked.
"Yes, if we're talking about fist-type skills, I can only use Sonic Punch for now."
Because Itachi started by learning Ice Punch, and then switched to Focus Punch, a path Infernape couldn't follow, Ash hasn't taught Infernape to use other punch-type moves yet.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Da Ye smiled happily and patted Xiao Zhi on the shoulder, saying:
"That's perfect! In return, I can give your Infernape special training so that it can master all the punch-type moves my Infernape knows in just one night!"
"Really?!" Ash's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.
I never expected such an unexpected bonus.
My Infernape is following a different path than Big Leaf's Infernape.
His Infernape's ability is Blaze, so it naturally specializes in Fire-type moves.
Infernape's ability is Iron Fist.
They naturally have a deeper understanding of fist-based skills.
With such a ready-made teacher, my Infernape's strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds overnight.
"Of course it's true!" Da Ye said confidently.
"Thank you so much!" Ash said, then immediately turned and ran towards the Pokémon Center. "I'll go get my Infernape!"
"Pikachu!" Pikachu called out excitedly, following Ash as they ran into the Pokémon Center.
......
A moment later, Ash returned to the battle arena with Infernape.
At this moment, Da Ye and his Infernape were already standing on the field waiting.
Ash also sent out his Infernape.
"Infernape, this is Mr. Leaf. Tonight, Mr. Leaf will guide you in learning a new skill," Ash instructed Infernape.
"Awooo!" Infernape roared, its eyes fixed intently on its kind beside Da Ye, its fighting spirit rising.
"Very good, that's the spirit we need!" Da Ye nodded in satisfaction. "Then, let's begin!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Big Leaf's Infernape began to move.
Its right fist burst into flames, carrying a scorching wave of air, and swung fiercely forward.
"boom!"
Infernape's fist seemed to burn through the air, unleashing a deafening roar. A powerful shockwave emanated from it, spreading outwards and rustling the grass on the ground.
Immediately afterward, Infernape swiftly threw out its left fist, crackling with blue electricity that carried a paralyzing force, as it swung forward as well.
"Lightning Fist!"
Da Ye's voice echoed across the empty battlefield. His Infernape's left fist crackled with lightning, and the electric arcs crackled as they leaped, like silver snakes dancing on his fist.
Ash's Infernape stared intently, sensing the immense power contained within the electric current, as well as a different kind of ferocity entirely different from flames.
"Awooo!" Ash's Infernape roared, eager to try.
"I can't wait any longer, so let's experience it slowly in actual combat."
After a brief demonstration, the rest of the time consisted of the two Infernapes' fists colliding repeatedly.
The special training for Infernape finally came to an end as dawn broke in the east.
……
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on the bus station connecting Asagi City to Hama City.
Xiao Zhi and Da Ye stood side by side in front of the station, both of them looking obviously tired with dark circles under their eyes, clearly having not slept all night.
"Your Infernape is very talented and has improved very quickly. Although I did say at first that one night would be enough, I didn't expect it to actually do it so perfectly. It's really amazing." Da Ye rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned as he spoke.
"This is all thanks to Mr. Big Leaf and Infernape," Ash said, then yawned deeply.
"In short, your Infernape has now mastered Thunder Punch and Fire Punch. The rest depends on its own practice in actual combat," said Da Ye.
As they talked, Xiaozhi and Daye boarded the bus.
Just as Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang boarded the bus, they saw the two men who had casually found seats in the back and fallen into a deep sleep.
"call……"
"what……"
The two were snoring loudly, clearly exhausted from last night's intensive training.
"Sho and Mr. Dai's personalities are really similar," Hikari murmured, looking at the two sleeping soundly.
Xiao Gang pushed up his glasses and nodded in deep agreement: "Yes, they are exactly the same, but compared to Mr. Daye, Xiao Zhi seems to be a bit more mature."
"Pikachu!" Pikachu chimed in agreement.
The bus slowly started moving and headed towards Binhai City.
……
Three figures were huddled together furtively in the front row of the bus, talking in hushed tones.
"Hey, did you guys see that? That red-haired guy looks like one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Dai-Ye!"
"Meow! What should we do? Should we take action?"
"Idiot! What are you thinking? That's one of the Four Heavenly Kings! How could we possibly defeat him?"
"But... our recent training has been... quite effective... what if... we win?"
"How could that be! Stop dreaming! Let's go to Binhai City first, and wait until that brat and Da Ye are separated before we make our move!"
"Okay... I'll do as you say..."
These three figures were none other than the Team Rocket trio in disguise—Jessie, James, and Meowth.
After Jessie obtained her fourth Ribbon Medal elsewhere, they planned to take advantage of their high morale to attack Ash on the bus to the coastal city and steal his Pikachu. However, they did not expect to encounter Elite Four member, Big Leaf, there.
Before they could even take action, their plan was shelved.
"Ugh, this feeling is awful~ (meow~)"
"Sonams~"
The faint sounds were masked by the noise of the bus.
