Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 217 From the gym battle to the guidance battle, the aura breaks through! (25-in-[-]) ([-])

"Iron Palm Warrior, let's go!"

Teng Shu shouted, and the Iron Palm warrior responded quickly. The aura that was originally suppressed in front of him became stronger by three points under the strong stimulation. He temporarily resisted the aura of the giant swamp monster and created a path connecting the two sides. of passage.

"Go forward and push hard!"

"Swamp Thing, megaton punch."

Unlike Vine Tree's boundless passion, out of his absolute trust in Swamp Monster and based on Swamp Monster's expectation and emphasis on this battle, Lai did not intend to give too many orders. Instead, after sharing the information with Heart Power, let Swampert makes decisions on his own, and if something unexpected happens, he will intervene.

Compared with last year's confrontation with Absol on the beach, the speed and strength of today's iron palm warriors are even higher, and the steps under their feet are more organized and powerful, driving the offensive in waves like a tide. Wave.

"Eldest Brother's Iron Palm Warrior is even praised by Master, so there must be no problem."

"We were sparring with the senior brother, and he couldn't hold on even after a wave of hard pushes."

……

Off the court, the apprentices have great confidence in Iron Hand Luxe.

But only my own family knows their own affairs. Fujiki and Lai, who are also melee experts, clearly know the current strength gap between the two Pokémon, speed, strength, aura, and attributes. .

The fists and palms collided, just like the swamp leaping fish against the strange force. After a brief stalemate, the attacking party gradually retreated, making it difficult to maintain the pattern of using one attack at a time.

As the commander, Fujiki couldn't think of a good way to watch such a confrontation of hard power.

The Iron Palm warrior fought very weakly. Even though he had tried his best, his opponent was still able to do it with ease. When injuries were exchanged for injuries, he was always the one who suffered.

Swampert becomes more and more courageous as he fights. The Pokémon in front of him, in terms of hard power, is no less than the Monster Master. In addition to his aura, he has to be stronger than ever. This is the only time in recent times that he has encountered someone who can truly fight through it. The opponent who determines the outcome.

While fighting fiercely, he was also a little bit happy, hoping that the Iron Palm Warriors could improve a little and make the fight more enjoyable, so even if he saw the flaws, he still kept a little bit of the edge to put enough pressure on the Iron Palm Warriors. There is no rush to storm to win.

The apprentices off the field watched in excitement: the two Pokémon on the field were fighting each other wildly with their fists and palms, but the trainer did not say a word except for the opening. The scene seemed to be evenly matched in attack and defense.

In the end, it was Fujishu who knew that there was no chance of winning in such a confrontation and took the initiative to change his style of play.

"Iron Palm Warrior, push it away and then belly-bulb!"

After struggling to receive a punch, the Iron Palm warrior pushed hard, pushing the Swampert back a few steps. Then he took a deep breath quickly, his skin began to turn red, and his momentum increased steadily until it reached its peak.

It's a good belly drum, it's much stronger than Gao Guang's one, and he has to learn more by then.Lai calculated silently in his heart, wrote down some key data, and planned to collect them and send them to Gao Guang after a while.

"Don't worry, Swampert, let's use bodybuilding too."

"Kamo!"

With a roar, the solid muscles that were originally made of steel glowed with new luster. In front of the unprecedentedly powerful opponent, the power of the Swamp Monster finally no longer retained at all, but was completely released.

"Swamp Monster, full aura!"

The phantom of the beast appeared again and flew towards the Iron Palm Warrior. This time it was different from the beginning. The full force of the sea tide aura directly tore apart the Iron Palm Warrior's defense and impacted on it.

The Iron Palm warrior felt as if he was in an unstoppable tsunami, his proud aura was tightly locked in his body, and he was as helpless as if he had encountered a natural enemy for the first time as a child.

"Iron palm warrior, show your strength, we are also good men at sea, nothing can defeat us!"

The voice of the vine tree entered his mind as before, and aroused its fighting spirit as before.

No matter how strong the opponent is, he must confront him head-on and strive to win with all his strength. This is the momentum of a man fighting against the sea!

"Roar!"

After a roar, the aura that had stayed in the initial stage for a long time finally made another breakthrough, and it was propped out from the body a little bit. Although it still couldn't fight against the giant marsh monster that had reached a very high level after the breakthrough, it was still able to hold its own. A small piece of heaven and earth.

"Well done! Just charge forward and decide the outcome with one strike, close combat!"

Fujishu waved his arm vigorously. If he were not fighting in a gym but in the wild, he would have already charged forward and fought side by side with his Pokémon as a fighter.

The Iron Palm warrior moved forward bravely, his huge body carrying huge strength, like a hill, facing the motionless Swampert.

"That's right, Swamp Monster, it's time for us to show our true abilities."

"Kamo!"

Swampert responded loudly.

"Go ahead, take its first blow, and then use the first and last move, the earth-shattering hammer!"

"Kamo—"

Roaring, the giant swamp monster rushed out quickly, arriving first, and collided with the iron palm warrior who used close combat.

The powerful moves have no reservations on the giant swamp monster. They are both quasi-kings. Although they are different in strength, they are not out of class. In addition, the abdominal drum brings a huge improvement. This collision gives the giant a huge boost. The Swamp Monster caused considerable damage, but it also greatly aroused his fighting spirit.

"Kamo!"

During the roar, the giant swamp monster's eyes turned red, and the blue shadow behind him stared completely, and the energy in the body was fully mobilized.

It was seen with its arms raised high, its body as stable as Mount Tai, and it was not affected by close combat at all.

Then, like cannonballs falling from the sky, both fists fell heavily and hit the Iron Palm warrior on the head. The specially reinforced floor also shattered on the spot and began to extend into the distance.

"It's not over yet, smash it down!"

The fierce fight with fists and fists also aroused Lai's enthusiasm. Seeing that his partner was about to hit the winning blow, he couldn't help but roar.

"Hold up and push hard on top!"

Fujishu also continued to give orders at the critical moment, but the Iron Palm warrior was unable to carry out his orders. As early as the moment the heavy punch landed, his brain was briefly knocked unconscious by the heavy blow, and only the instinctive blocking reaction was left. .Like a mountain collapsing, the Iron Palm warrior, who was more than two and a half meters tall, collapsed. However, the giant swamp monster's punch did not stop. It hit its abdomen hard, completely shattering the ground under it, and the entire place exploded. Come, completely turned into ruins.

"..."

When the explosion on the ground came to an end, the audience was silent. This was the first time they had seen such a devastating blow, and the first time they had personally experienced such explosive power.

The referee hurriedly entered the field and announced the result after some inspections:

"The Iron Palm loses his fighting power, and the winner is Lai's Swampert! The winner of this gym challenge is Lai from Pal Island!"

"Huh... What a terrifying swamp monster. I didn't lose unfairly. No wonder Hua Yue respects you so much. Today we really know each other."

Heaving a sigh of relief, after confirming that the Iron Palm warrior had just fainted and was not seriously injured, Fujishu stepped forward, held Rai's hand, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Tap, tap, tap"

With the sound of crutches hitting the ground, a door on the side of the battlefield slowly opened.

A short and fat old man walked out slowly, walked down the steps, and walked onto the battlefield.

"It's Master!"

"Master hasn't been here for a long time, hasn't it?"

"..."

As the old man moved forward, the apprentices talked a lot. Many new apprentices who entered the gym only met the old man once during the enrollment period.

Seeing his master coming to the scene, Teng Shu also hurried over to greet him:

"Master! Why did you come to the battlefield? I lost to Lai just now, and I was so convinced."

"Oh ho ho, I saw it from behind, and I came out knowing that you lost. This little brother and I have something to say. You go and prepare the badges first. For the other children, ask them to change places and continue. Practice."

Smiling and stroking his beard, the old man sent away the vines and the apprentices from the gym.

"Your Excellency Kiyooka, this is our first meeting. Please give me some advice."

The old man's name is Iwasaki Kiyooka, and he is the master of the boxing gym. He is now 65 years old and in a state of semi-retirement. Many of his direct disciples hold important positions in various parts of the alliance. The most talented closed disciple is the current master of the gym. Senior brother Teng Shu is his appointed successor.

In his early years, Fujiki was the apprentice of the fighting master Shi in the Johto area, but he did not become his disciple. After traveling to Hoenn, he trained in the boxing gym and became the senior brother of all the apprentices in the gym at that time. He became a disciple of Iwasaki Kiyooka and became his close disciple and the future helmsman of the gym after he retired.

"Lai, can I just call you this? When we first met, I want to thank you for your help to Teng Shu. Without your frontal pressure, he wouldn't have known how long it would have taken him to understand. The stronger the aura, the better. , the more you want to be strong and soft at the same time, the more you deviate from the original intention of your partner. Come, sit down. The little girl over there, come over too, you are also very good, I have seen it, this kid Mo Shu has a Good daughter."

Just like an old neighbor who came to chat with her, the old man took Lai to the auditorium and sat down. Naqi, who was standing far away, was also called over by him, and the three of them sat together.

"Your Excellency Kiyooka, why don't you teach Brother Fujishu this in person?" Rai asked curiously. Based on his understanding of Fujishu's strength, he has hardly improved much compared to his previous life, and he even changed it later. He became a Pokémon companion just to learn a strong and soft aura, which resulted in him being trapped at the level of a quasi-king and never making any progress.

"This child has a generous and bold temperament, but he also has a side that accepts death. Moreover, the teacher he had in Johto also had this temper, and he was more or less affected by it. Let's not talk about this first, let's take a look."

As he spoke, the old man released an Iron Palm Warrior. Its shape was the same as that of the vine tree, not very big. Although it was a bit old and had many hidden wounds in its body, its aura was still very strong.

Sweeping the power of his heart, Rai suddenly discovered that this was also a Pokémon that had crossed the threshold of the King of Heaven. Although it was only level 60, this was more the result of the natural decline of old age and physical weakness. It would have been stronger when he was younger. .

Feeling Lai's gaze, the old man also introduced calmly: "Iron Palm Rikishi is my best partner. It has been 50 years since I met him. You are right. He was also very strong when he was young. Compared with They are stronger than that old boy Eiyuki Morita. Oh, you may not know him, he is the alliance’s consultant in the southwest.”

Feeling that the topic was slightly off topic, the old man continued: "Even at an old age, the Iron Palm Rikishi is still too strong for Fujishu and his Iron Palm Rikishi. In a head-on confrontation, if he loses to me, he will only I think it is a matter of strength and accumulation, but if he loses to a young man like you who is even younger than him, he will really have the opportunity to reflect on himself. So, as a master, I want to thank him on his behalf you."

Patting Lai's hand gently, the old man sighed with emotion: "If it weren't for you, I don't know if I could have watched him get over this hurdle before I closed my eyes. If not, it would be such a shame." Boxing said The museum has been passed down for generations, but if it cannot reach my generation, it will lose the heritage of the King of Heaven."

"Heavenly King? Brother Fujishu was able to compete with Brother Kagyue last year. I think it's natural for him to make a breakthrough."

In front of the opponent's master, Lai naturally couldn't say that in the original world line, Teng Shu could not break through the existing barriers until four years later. What's more, after today's battle, many things may change.

The old man shook his head with a smile, and just as he was about to say something, the voice of the vine tree came from the distance: "Master, Lai, I have brought the badge and the badge box!"

Followed closely by the sound of his fast running footsteps.

Taking three steps and two steps at a time, Fujiki quickly came to the stands and handed the box containing the badge to Iwasaki Kiyooka.

The old man gently opened the exquisitely decorated badge box, and the boxing badge was placed in the first slot inside.

"Brother Lai, I am very happy that you can choose our Wudou Town Boxing Gym as the beginning of the Eight Avenue Gym Tour. I hope you can go further with the spirit of our southwest region."

With that said, the old man handed the box over with both hands.

Bowing slightly, Lai also extended his hands and solemnly continued: "Don't worry, I will fulfill my mission."

"Clap"

"Hoho, okay, that's good!" The old man smiled, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed slightly, "Do you have any other plans before you leave Wudou Town?"

"Naqi and I are going to practice and adjust here for a while, waiting for a merchant ship bound for Chenghua City. We have been using the flying method. Although it is fast, it is also a bit monotonous." Lai lowered his head and explained carefully to the old man For the next plan of the two of them.

"Merchant ship? Teng Shu, when will the nearest trustworthy ocean-going merchant ship leave?" the old man asked the close disciple beside him.

"Master, it should be the Emperor Penguin. It will set off in seven days, dock at the harbor west of Chenghua City, and then go directly to Kanto Continent." Fujishu thought for a while and gave the answer.

"Seven days, okay, the time is good. Brother Lai, Miss Naqi, I wonder if I can invite you to train with our master and apprentice for a few days? I think Brother Lai's body is also good as a fighter. Miaozi, although I know I can’t leave you to practice your fighting skills, I also want to see you grow.”

Facing the old man's sincere invitation, Lai and Naqi couldn't say anything to refuse.Lai stepped forward and looked at Teng Shu. After confirming that there was no problem, he bowed and thanked the old man in front of him: "Then I will thank you in advance for your advice!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" The old man stroked his beard again, looking at Lai and the apprentice beside him, his brows stretched with a smile.
