Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

"This is... evolution!" Lei Si was slightly surprised, then put on a congratulatory expression.

"Yay! This kid has evolved!"

Besides Xiao Gang, who was acting as the referee, Xiao Guang and A Li, who were sitting on the steps, were also happy.

Ash looked on with satisfaction as Infernape, also predominantly orange but with flesh-colored ears, mouth, and other features, and a face resembling a red and blue mask, appeared.

"Congratulations, Infernape, you've become even stronger!"

Upon seeing this, Ash was the first to congratulate Infernape on being able to stand up.

Pickup truck!!

Pikachu waved happily, having carefully fed Infernape moves and witnessed its growth.

"Mwah~" Infernape nodded happily.

Thanks to the Light of Evolution, Infernape was able to stand up again and looked at itself, examining its new body.

"Haha, your hard-working Chimchar has finally evolved! That's something to celebrate!" Lei Si congratulated him, throwing out the last Poké Ball. "But our battle isn't over yet!"

With a flash of red light, Raikou's last Pokémon took the stage: Staraptor.

"Come back and rest, Infernape!"

Seeing this, Ash put away his newly evolved Infernape, not intending to send it out again.

Even though Infernape recovered a lot of health through evolution, it was still badly injured by Devourer.

So after much deliberation, they decided to give the opportunity to the forest turtle to appear.

"Oh, this forest turtle is quite well-bred~" Lei Si exclaimed in admiration upon seeing the enormous forest turtle before him. "I just didn't expect you to choose a reverse-type battle!"

Raiji was surprised. If it were his brother Shinji, he would definitely send out an electric-type Electabuzz.

"Then I won't hold back this time, Mk Eagle, Swallow Return!" Relying on his superior speed, Raiji was the first to order an attack.

The Muke Eagle glowed white and immediately swooped down towards the forest tortoise.

"Sunny day!"

Ash, on the other hand, didn't take any defensive measures and instead had Torterra use Sunny Day.

In this way, the Hawk's Swallow Return successfully hit the Forest Tortoise.

But Lei Si showed no sign of joy, because the forest tortoise remained unmoved, as if nothing had happened.

"Starhawk, wing attack!"

Lei Si dared not be careless and immediately ordered the Mk Eagle to follow up with a wing attack, delivering a combo attack.

"Growth~"

But to everyone's surprise, Torterra still ignored it and instead drew Grass-type energy from underground to boost its Attack and Special Attack stats.

"Brave Bird Attack!"

Seeing that it still didn't work, Lei Si gritted his teeth and immediately switched to a flying-type ultimate move.

"Muk~"

The Hawk suddenly emitted red energy, which, after charging up, transformed into even more powerful blue energy, and slammed into the Forest Turtle's massive body.

"Grass~"

Even with a powerful Flying-type move and double the type advantage, Torterra only let out a soft cry and did not lose its ability to battle.

This made even the usually calm and collected Lei Si lose his composure. How could a forest turtle train to be so resilient?

In contrast, Ash had a smile on his face, feeling immense pleasure.

Because he enjoys the expression on the other person's face when they unleash their ultimate skill but can't even scratch a tank.

Like a hero in a certain pesticide, he stands there and lets you hit him, but you can't hurt him.

The Forest Tortoise noticed the constipated expressions on Mkorhawk and Raikou's faces and felt a surge of pleasure.

This pleasure doesn't seem to be any less than that of the grass turtle stage.

"It's our turn to fight back, Torterra, unleash Leaf Storm!"

Chapter 142 Hikari's First Gym Battle Experience

"Flying Leaf Storm~"

The small tree on its back scattered endless leaves, and a fierce storm mixed with the leaves unleashed a powerful Grass-type move, Leaf Storm.

The Starhawk, which had no time to get away from the forest tortoise, was caught in the blast and was hit head-on by the leaf storm.

"Turtle, now's your chance, use Solar Beam!"

That wasn't all. After using Leaf Storm, Ash sent Torterra to press his advantage.

A small grove of trees on my back began to frantically gather sunlight, and under the influence of the bright sunshine, in just a moment, a beam of light full of intense heat burst forth.

It struck the Hawk, which had not yet regained its mobility, straight at it.

A few seconds later, Staraptor collapsed to the ground, leaving only Torterra standing firmly in place, receiving a scathing rebuke from Ash and Pikachu.

"Thank you for your hard work, Starhawk!"

Retsu regretfully recalled his Staraptor, then helplessly spread his hands and approached Ash, saying with a somewhat unpleasant smile:

"Ash, you're really strong! My Staraptor couldn't even scratch your Torkoal. I can't even imagine what it will look like after its next evolution!"

"Haha, you're so kind!"

Despite Raiji's constipated expression, Ash was very happy.

That means the forest tortoise has made some progress in its training and has successfully annoyed its opponent.

As a seasoned gamer, Xiao Zhi clearly understands the role of a tank: to absorb damage and conserve skills, then unleash a combo to eliminate the enemy.

When the assassin can no longer damage the tank, that's when the assassin gets beaten up.

Therefore, he usually lets the Muke Eagles train the forest tortoises directly.

From Swallow Return, Wing Attack to Brave Bird Fierce Attack, the ability to withstand damage is improved step by step.

Although the practice time is long, the results are slowly coming in.

Moreover, the forest tortoise is very patient in practicing, which is the most crucial point.

"So, Lee, after seeing my duel with Ash, are you feeling the urge to battle?" After quickly composing himself, Rai turned his attention to Lee.

"Ah, me?" Ah Li replied somewhat blankly.

"Yeah, when you encounter such a powerful trainer, don't you have even the slightest desire to challenge him?" Rai nodded towards Ash's direction.

He knew that Ah Li was an excellent fighter, and no matter how confused he was, he must have longed for battle deep down.

And indeed, it turned out just as Lei Si had guessed.

Ah Li was indeed a little hesitant. As a fighter, the reason she became a gym leader was to become stronger.

Her initial goal was to battle trainers like Ash and Paul.

It was just that she was still struggling to get out of her self-destructive state because of Shinji's sarcastic remarks.

"Luca~"

While A-Lee hesitated, Lucario stepped forward and looked firmly at his trainer.

"Hey Lee, look, Lucario wants you to accept too!" Hikari stepped in to remind him.

Looking at the dog, which was full of fighting spirit, Ah Li seemed to be thinking, and then struggled with his eyes closed.

When Ah Li opened her eyes again, there was less confusion in her pupils.

"Okay, I accept..."

"Wait a moment!!!"

Just as Ah Li was about to accept, Xiao Guang shouted loudly, interrupting Ah Li.

"Don't forget, Ah Li, you promised to fight me first!"

While comforting Ah Li by the river, Xiao Guang made a promise to Ah Li to have a dojo match with him.

Besides wanting to help the other person regain their confidence, it was also filled with Hikaru's longing for the dojo competition, and he was itching to have a match.

After thinking about it carefully, Ah Li realized that there might be such a thing!

"now?"

“Of course!” Hikari nodded, then looked at Lucario beside him, “Your Lucario will be our opponent!”

"Isn't this too difficult?" Xiao Zhi thought to himself.

Although Lee lost to Shinji, judging from Lucario's Aura, its strength is not weak.

However, Ash didn't say anything to remind Dawn, since Dawn was so confident that she definitely wouldn't listen.
