Chapter 9: Gym Leaders Cannot Be Hit by the Same Move Twice

"Hmph~ This little thing I've never seen before, wants to challenge me?"

Ah Si's eyes lit up, and he became interested as well.

"I've seen trainer challengers before, but this is the first time I've encountered a Pokémon challenging someone alone. Well then, I'll play with you for a bit."

"It's up to you now, Quick-Punch Man!"

He wasn't quite sure how strong this new breed of Eevee was, so after thinking about it, he sent out Quick-Punch, who, like the previous Machoke, was a second-tier member of his team.

"Sonic Fist!"

Almost the instant he landed, Quick Fist Bro threw a punch.

The powerful force of the punch even created a whistling sound in everyone's ears.

A single punch landed precisely on Eevee's cheek.

Even so, it did not knock him away directly.

Umbreon's lips curled slightly, and it turned around to give Kaibutsu a malicious smile.

"Hai!"

With a twist of his neck, the dark, spiraling shockwave struck Quick Fist Lang almost at point-blank range.

Evil Wave!

Quick Fist Lang crossed his arms in an "X" shape. Although he had some abrasions on his body, he was not seriously injured.

Ah Si was taken aback. "A new type of move, but it doesn't seem to work well against Fighting-type moves like Hitmonchan. Hmm~ I can write this down and tell Professor Oak later."

He had a good personal relationship with Professor Oak's son, who died young, and they had maintained contact.

Dr. Oak even plans to send his grandson to Ah Si for training once he's a little older.

Ibu quickly retreated.

He thought to himself that this guy's strength wasn't as exaggerated as that of the big purple rat last night, but it still hurt unexpectedly when it hit him.

Is this what they call "attribute advantage"?

Since that's the case...

Thinking of this, Umbreon slightly curled up its right forepaw claw, the tip of the claw sinking into the sandy ground.

Snapped!

Immediately afterwards, Umbreon flicked its right forepaw, kicking up a cloud of yellow sand that flew towards Kaibutsu.

"Sand-slinging" is used to disrupt the enemy's vision and reduce their hit rate!

Quick Fist Man instinctively used his hands, which were covered in red gloves, to shield himself from the yellow sand.

Umbreon's eyes hardened, its body glowed white, and it instantly rushed in front of Quick-Punch.

A flash of lightning!

"Fast Punch Man, Flame Punch to the Upper Left!"

The line of sight is temporarily obstructed, but there are trainers behind to help direct the operation.

When a skilled trainer and a skilled Pokémon work together, the result can be greater than the sum of its parts.

The reason why many spirits are disobedient is mostly because they feel that their masters are not good at commanding them and that they would rather fight on their own.

With his vision obstructed, Quick-Punch Man didn't hesitate at all.

Flames erupted from his right fist as he aimed a precise 45° angle strike at the oncoming Umbreon.

"You have some skill, but without a trainer, it's difficult to unleash your full potential on your own."

When Ah Si said this, Umbreon's forehead was less than five centimeters away from Fire Punch.

Suddenly, Umbreon raised its head and released a Dark Pulse towards the ceiling.

"What!?"

Ah Si and Yi Shu surprised the audience.

By unleashing the recoil force from its Dark Pulse, Umbreon abruptly reversed direction mid-air.

Quick Fist Man's Flame Fist missed its mark.

More than that.

With a loud "boom," a hole was punched through the dojo's ceiling.

A large amount of rubble fell and landed on the spirit of the quick-fisted man.

"guard!"

Ah Si shouted.

The quick-fisted man raised his hands high, a gesture resembling a French military salute.

Light blue energy emanated from his body, forming a semi-circular, semi-transparent protective shield.

No matter how many rocks fall, they cannot shake the barrier in the slightest.

The game's amazing skill: [Guardian].

While it may not be that miraculous in reality, a Pokémon belonging to a Gym Leader could easily block a mere falling rock.

"Hey! It's attacking!"

"One tree shouted."

From the side, Umbreon landed on the ground, propelled by the recoil from the Dark Pulse.

Facing the quick-fisted fighter, his slightly petite arms bulged with veins, and he attacked in a claw-like shape.

A surprise attack!

"Bullet Fist!"

Bullet Punch, a preemptive skill, was unleashed once again.

If used under normal circumstances, it would definitely be able to launch an attack one step faster than Umbreon.

However, since Quick-Punchman just used "Guardian," using it now would naturally be a step too slow.

The two exchanged punches!

Umbreon felt as if its claws had struck an incredibly hard layer of steel, making it difficult to move forward.

"Using the recoil from the black jet to dodge Kaito's Flame Punch was brilliant. Was that your idea, or your master's?"

Ah Si put his hands on his hips and laughed:

"But you're still a bit hesitant. Call your master to challenge you. You can't beat my Quick Fist Man on your own."

Umbreon's eyes hardened.

I must keep getting stronger in order to follow in my master's footsteps!

A pale white light once again emanated from Umbreon's jet-black mane.

Another flash of lightning!

"Mudada~ Hurry up and call us, we have one too, Bullet Fist."

Kaikou's fists were once again coated with a layer of silvery-white light, like a metallic sheen. He moved with butterfly steps, closing in on the oncoming Umbreon, and then...

Find the perfect moment and strike!

Umbreon immediately turned its head and opened its mouth.

Evil Wave!

It moves through the air by using the recoil force of the evil wave.

"Fast Fist, bottom right!"

But this time, Ah Si saw through Umbreon's movement pattern.

Upon hearing this, Quick Fist immediately changed his move.

A powerful uppercut slammed down!

Hit!

"That move is interesting, but the same move won't work twice against a gym leader."

Ah Si instructed:

"I can tell which way you're going just by seeing which way your mouth is pointing... Hmm?"

As he finished speaking, Ah Si suddenly realized something was amiss.

Take a closer look.

It was discovered that Umbreon's two front paws and one left hind paw were lying on the ground.

But his right hind leg was directly blocking his own fist!

It seems like the muscles in his forearm have developed quite a bit.

When was the enhancement skill used?

The next instant, Umbreon made a side hook in mid-air and soared into the air.

The tail, gleaming with a light silver luster, lashed out at Quick Punch's side of the head.

boom!

The flying Fast Fist Bro smashed a large crater in the wall.

"Fast Fist, are you alright?"

Ah Si turned his head and saw it.

"Chabi"

Quick Fist Bro stood up from the dust and responded to his master.

Fortunately, that guy's moves weren't very effective against me.

It doesn't hurt that much.

"Was that... a Steel-type move? Did it learn it from watching Hitmonchan's Bullet Punch? It only watched it a few times?"

Like the Dark type, which has not yet been officially recognized by the League, the Steel type is a new type that has only recently been included in the League's textbooks.

Therefore, Ah Si still doesn't know how to address Umbreon's move.

Pfft!

Umbreon stumbled and fell to its knees.

That's the limit...

"Bu Yi~"

After giving it a deep look, Umbreon made a series of leaps, jumping onto the stands and then onto a window in the gym.

He looked down at the crowd below for a moment, then leaped out.

The owner will probably be back soon, so we can't stay here any longer.
