Elf-like Life

Chapter 111, The Three Fiery Monkey Brothers

Once a Pokémon like Infernape gets angry, it's uncontrollable. Moreover, these three were still thinking about the hot spring incident, leaving Charmander and his friends with nowhere to go.

"So, is fighting each other the only option, Charmander?"

"Enemies against enemies—no, not only that, they've already made their move!"

Charmander + Pikachu

VS

Hot Monkey X3

Boom—

In the blink of an eye, the Incineroar in the center launched the first attack, followed by the other two Incineroars on the left and right sides flanking it.

【!】Because the two little ones didn't react in time, they were directly hit head-on by the three fiery monkey brothers!

"Wow!"

"Ugh, damn it!"

Charmander and Pikachu were unable to withstand the punches from the three Primeape brothers and were blasted a short distance before their backs slammed against the rock wall.

At this moment, the three fiery monkey brothers did not lose their composure due to their triumph. Instead, they fought as a unit, growing stronger with each battle, and the bulging veins on their foreheads became increasingly prominent with their rage.

What they just did was amazing!

Make a scene!

The most representative berserk move, "Wrathful Rampage," has a power of 120, but if used continuously, it will have a side effect: the user will fall into a state of self-confusion after 2-3 rounds.

The little dragon instantly found a way out:

"Are you alright, Pikachu?"

Pikachu: "Wow, that was a huge commotion! Charmander, I'm fine!"

"Let's stall for time; things might go much better for us after 2-3 rounds!"

Upon hearing Charmander's explanation, Pikachu instantly understood what he meant.

It's obvious they're trying to weather the chaos of the first three rounds before launching their own attack once the three Infernal Monkeys are thrown into disarray.

The little dragon deliberately jumped high:

"Watch this, a smokescreen!"

swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish —

By immediately covering the field with smoke, Pikachu and Pikachu created the illusion that the enemy was in the open while they were in the dark.

As expected, the three fiery monkey brothers' second wave of trouble missed.

Incineroar X1: "A mere trifle!"

Fiery Monkey X2: "You have no chance of winning here, don't waste your time!"

"Let us give you a good beating and let us vent our anger on you, that's your best option!" Fiery Monkey X3.

No way, who would be a punching bag?

Although the hot spring incident that day was a complete misunderstanding, it's impossible to reason with a hot-tempered Pokémon like Prisma.

Charmander was secretly gathering its strength, but Pikachu was clearly not used to the presence of this smoke screen.

Because Charmander's Smoke Screen is a series of area-of-effect attacks, it not only obscures the opponent's vision but also envelops Pikachu, a teammate.

This caused Pikachu to panic a little, as it was dark all around and couldn't see very well:

"Little Charmander, where are you?"

Oh no, Pikachu doesn't seem to have figured out how to fight under smoke yet. Isn't this just letting his teammates down?!

Then comes the crucial third round!

Despite the smoke, the three Infernape brothers were still unable to locate Charmander and Pikachu, resulting in another miss after their third rampage.

It's time!

Before the smoke clears, the three fiery monkey brothers should already be suffering from the side effects of self-confusion—now is the time!

Charmander leaped high again, unleashing a long-charged alloy claw!

boom!

Now that the time has come, a single Alloy Claw isn't enough; we need to follow up with a Flame in one go. Let's aim for that Infernape right in the middle!

Boom, boom, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The Infernape in the center, in a state of confusion, was directly hit by Charmander's Metal Claw + Flame combo.

However, in the next instant, Charmander was completely stunned. To be precise, the three Infernape brothers were not that weak.

Although the three brothers inevitably entered a state of chaos, due to their years of special training, they were able to break free from this state in a very short time.

In less than a round, or even half a round, it completely got rid of the confused state.

The Infernape in the center is particularly durable. When the other two Infernapes saw their brother being attacked by Charmander, they became even more enraged and swarmed him!

"Just wait and get beaten up, let's see what tricks you can pull now!" Fiery Monkey X2.

Thump, boom, rumble—

Dust billowed up, and the last thing Pikachu could see was Charmander being surrounded by two other Primeapes. And when those two Primeapes took off and exerted their strength, they used their signature move, the Cross Slash.

"Watch out, little dragon!!"

The Charmander over there was instantly beaten up, while Pikachu over here recalled the helplessness of not being able to help at all.

But the Pikachu of today is no longer the timid Pikachu that dared not make a move and could only play a supporting role behind Charmander.

Pikachu curled its tail and leaped high, using the same high-speed charge it had used to defeat Hypnos earlier, and mercilessly charged straight at the three Primeape brothers!

"Thump, boom!"

Just when the three fiery monkey brothers were almost unable to free up space for defense...

Pikachu's flanking attack was directly blocked by three other muscular Pokémon!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Pikachu felt as if its little tail had been lifted up by someone, and the other person's tall size was unreasonable, sending it flying back with a back throw!

"Oh, oh, oh, it's the brothers from the Haoli tribe!"

Haoli+3 arrived immediately.

After being thrown out, Pikachu rolled over and then rolled over again. When it sat up again, it found that there were now six strong men in front of it.

Three Incineroars, plus three Machokes.

Charmander's situation was even more dangerous. Surrounded by six Pokémon, he had only just regained some consciousness and barely survived the previous attack.

Charmander: "Cough, oh no, a powerful alliance?!"

It turns out that Charmander and Pikachu didn't know that the area above the 10th floor of Steel Spirit Peak was considered the outer territory of the Macho Village.

Although the Mawk Tribe and the Longnose Leaf Tribe are both among the three great Pokémon tribes in the world, the Mawk Tribe's structure is not as simple as that of the Longnose Leaf Tribe.

The entire area is home to many other Fighting-type Pokémon, and they all call each other brothers.

This resulted in a tribe structure where Machamp made up 75% and other Fighting-type Pokémon made up 25%.

Haoli X3: "Hot-tempered monkey brothers, what's got you all fighting here?"

The three fiery monkey brothers were furious:

"To be honest, brothers, this is an old grudge between us. We just want to beat them up and vent our anger!!"

In the next instant, Charmander suddenly seized the opportunity presented by Machoke's intervention and launched an attack on all six of them.

"Pikachu, watch out behind me, I'm coming!!"

【!!!】Hero Power X3: Such fast movements!!!

At the last moment, the three Machamp roared in unison:

"However, you have no chance to run wild on our Mountain Moving Sect's territory!"

What? The Long-Nosed Leaf Tribe is the Unloading Ridge Tribe, and your Haoli Tribe is the Moving Mountain Tribe?
