Chapter 493 Ash the Four-Legged Monster

"What's going on?"

The little Geodude in its right hand shook its body, indicating to the trainer that it just felt something was wrong, or in layman's terms, it was purely based on intuition.

Although they appear to be "hanging" on the trainer, they actually climb in sync with the trainer using their other hand, without adding any burden to the trainer except for the head on their waist.

Correspondingly, during this rock climbing process, the little geoducks can also feel any subtle changes in the rock face.

"It's dangerous, and it's not even a Pokémon?"

The mountain climber chose to trust his partner and began to check the position of his right hand.

Free solo climbing isn't mindless either, because climbers need to calculate their footholds in real time based on their own situation; making a hasty choice would be a recipe for disaster.

The mountain climber immediately identified a fairly ordinary landing spot, meaning that this location was neither too risky nor too cautious.

If we're talking about psychology, he thinks this placement is very suspicious.

The mountain climber reached out and touched it, and the seemingly solid support shattered and fell, the dust it kicked up making him hold his breath.

The right fist stone also opened its mouth wide to provide extra support, ensuring that the dust would not affect the trainer.

What an insane design! He said this challenge is way too friendly to people who are good at free climbing!

Those guys in the Battle Frontier probably skimped on the glue when they put the landing point on, just hoping the person who got hit would land!

"The Brain of Games."

The mountain climber suddenly felt suffocated. They were undergoing a test. Was the game's brain just playing with them for fun?

He suddenly felt that this pioneering mind was not very friendly.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the fake landing point was applied with cheap materials; the actual camouflage is top-notch, at least in terms of the intuition that Little Geodude can only judge.

The mountain climber felt he had an epiphany. If he relied on himself alone, he wouldn't even know how he died in the first test. He had to work together with his partner.

"Please help me!"

"Zibu!" x5

The mountain climber pressed on, but when Little Geodude sensed something was wrong, he stopped and sent his companion to investigate the hidden traps among the footholds.

This time, the small fist stone on his right leg stretched out its arm to touch the false landing point he had anticipated.

"Wal?"

Under the astonished yet quickly calmed gaze of the mountain climber, the fake landing point slowly transformed into a cloud of black mist, eventually condensing into the shape of a Night Patrol Spirit.

The Night Patrol Spirit, with its arms folded behind its back like an old man, glanced at the mountain climber, then slowly turned around and dissipated into black gas once more.

Then, an inconspicuous false landing point reappeared on the rock face, and no one except the leading climber saw it.

So the game's maker really treats them like toys, right?

Unstable and dangerous landing spots are one thing, but it's a basic training program for free climbing in the wild.

But isn't it a bit too much to have a Ghost-type Pokémon act as an item maker?

Let alone Gastly, a Pokémon that could cause serious problems if you reach out, even just touching a Nightwatch, which poses little threat to adults, requires a strong mentality to prevent you from falling down in fright!

Apart from the mountain climbing uncle in the first position, the gold and silver duo were in the second group observing the situation.

"The vines might break, climbing by hand creates false landing points, and flying directly up creates turbulence. Moreover, the intensity and duration of this move are purely technological, not a Pokémon move."

"In other words, there is no opportunity to seize a gap and rush up in one go in the air."

Yin quietly shared what he had observed, which was why they weren't in a hurry—to see if they could learn from their competitors and get across the river.

Akin smiled smugly: "Hehe, Cool Taro, this is where you fall short of me."

Yin wasn't angry: "What's the explanation?"

Akin narrowed his eyes: "The turbulence in the air is an indiscriminate attack. Didn't you see that some challengers were already blown around and couldn't even fix themselves to the vines?"

"Most importantly, do you think that, as a test in itself, this rock wall doesn't even have the slightest mechanism?"

He knew exactly how ruthless Suihan was. That photo in the nature park had always been his mother's treasured possession, and it was also the greatest pain of his uncle, Ajin.

Yin slowly typed out a question mark.

Boom!

The sudden shock eliminated another large number of trainers. With a "I knew it" expression, Ajin pulled out his billiard cue and shoved it hard into the rock wall to reinforce its fixation.

Yin couldn't help but glance at A Jin, thinking it was some kind of monkey swinging from a tree branch in the woods.

The mountain climber looked up in horror and witnessed Pokémon rolling down the rocks with a gurgling sound.

"Zibu~"

Hey, I see someone from my clan, brothers!

"Zibu?"

There's a Geodude, huh? Then we'll have to take good care of that human.

The mountain climbing uncle could only watch helplessly as one of the angular, rather young Geodude stones demonstrated a ditch turn technique and smashed it right in his direction!

This wasn't just a simple free fall; the Geodudes were also glowing with the light of their signature Rolling Move!

What the hell am I supposed to do with this?!

The mountain climber understood that this was the second stage of the test, so he immediately pressed himself firmly against the rock face and let the small fist-shaped rocks at his hands launch an attack.

As fellow Geodude, they naturally knew what their fellow Geodude wanted to do. The left-hand Geodude used a combination of rounding and impact to knock the young examiner away.

The right fist stone was cleanly polished by a rock, further strengthening its aging, rounded body, causing the falling fist stone to slip and fly away.

Besides the small stones, the falling rocks and dust are also a big problem.

The mountain climber almost felt completely exhausted. Despite the short duration, he had the illusion of having spent the entire night in the gym working out his core strength.

He seemed to know what the game's brain wanted to do, but this testing mechanism was far too cruel.

Below, chaos reigned once again. Some even saw the Geodudes colliding with each other, their trajectories suddenly changing like billiard balls, instantly causing significant losses to the panicked trainers.

For those trainers and Pokémon still clinging tightly to the vines, despair has only just begun.

It was so easy when I had a good grip on the vines, but now it's just as difficult.

One by one, Diglett emerged from the rock wall, their cute little eyes appearing incredibly evil to the trainers and Pokémon.

"Di Gu".

Brother, the vine in your hand smells delicious.

"Di Gu".

Bro, your hands are so small.

"Di Gu".

Those vines are too thick for you to handle, let me help you lighten the load.

The trainers' pupils dilated in shock, but Geodude and pebbles of varying sizes were falling from above, and their companions were already fighting off the threat from above.

And so, they could only watch helplessly and desperately as the groundhogs gracefully moved forward, aiming their mouths at the vines.

I just went straight for it!

"No!"

The trainers, facing the crisis, were "mindless" in every sense, and those who were unable to respond to the crisis were eliminated again, making the entire assessment venue look much cleaner instantly.

For viewers watching the show up close or watching the live broadcast, in addition to the mountaineering uncles who are still in the first group, they can also see the outstanding challengers in the team more clearly.

"Charge!!!"

Ash even had the energy to let out an excited roar, giving the audience the feeling that some strange four-legged creature was speeding across the rock wall.

Pikachu nestled obediently in Ash's arms. This was the trainer's chance to shine; he might not actually be able to outrun Ash.

Here comes the part that made the audience and Ash's friends and family twitch: when faced with the falling rocks and Geodude from above, Ash's main approach was to neither dodge nor evade, but to fight with overwhelming force.

Ash might panic when faced with unknown traps, but now that the challenges are out in the open, Ash has never been afraid of anyone.

It's all about who has the toughest head!

boom!

"It hurts!"

Ash grimaced, yelling that it hurt, while ignoring Geodude who was looking at him like he was a monster. He overtook the dumbfounded mountain climber and climbed to the top!

Akin and Silver also began to compete for the rankings, each displaying their unique skills. Mirat, who was at the back, looked at the four-legged monster wearing a hat at the top with awe.

As expected, trainers from Pallet Town cannot be judged by common sense!

"Come forth, Lizard King!"

Sceptile hugged Mirat, and after a long period of observation, he and his trainer had analyzed Mirat's movement trajectory. Using the long whip made of grass knots, he avoided all threats and swung towards the top.

The rumbling sound puzzled the Geodude family at the top. Golem, who was responsible for carrying the "children" to the trainer to increase their strength, took two steps forward.

Let me see what's going on. Oh dear!

The four-legged monster that shot out was knocked back two steps by the Golem, feeling as if it had run headfirst into a pack of Tauros.

Ash, who had rushed forward in one breath, did not expect such a change and immediately rolled to the side like a gourd.

Behind Graveler, the Graveler team, lined up in neat rows, glanced down at Ash, who was clutching his head and groaning in pain, then looked up at each other in bewilderment.

They haven't even appeared yet, so how come a human has already rushed up?

It can knock Golem back two steps; could this be a Pokémon disguised as a human?

"I'll take first place without hesitation!"

After sincerely apologizing to Golem, Ash carried Pikachu, who looked utterly dejected, and continued running.

The first pioneering proof of the Game Brain must be mine!

Manch, sitting in the audience, stared wide-eyed at his best friend Ruby and posed a profound question.

"Was that really a person?"

Ruby gave an awkward laugh: "Yes, it's a person."

He originally thought that Safia's physique was invincible, but now a little Ash has appeared and refreshed his understanding.

Man Chong shook his head decisively: "I was going to say I'd support Brother Suihan's project, but now it seems best to reconsider."

Even though I'm not as thin as I used to be, the intensity of this test is still a bit too high.

Even though later challengers knew the specific questions, the reality was not as simple as they had imagined.

Ruby put her arm around Safia and Manch and walked to the side. There was no point in staying there except to hear the other audience members' exclamations and screams.

"Let's go, let's go see what's behind us. I'm getting more and more curious about Pallet Town."

"Safia, how about we choose that place for our next date?"

Safia pressed down on Ruby's head with her hand.

"Shut up!"
