"How could evolution be like this???"

Xiaoxia was incredibly curious.

As the light faded, a massive, fiery monkey appeared before them, its eyes reduced to slits, a cross-shaped vein bulging on its forehead in anger, and its fur standing on end like flames!

Primeape, the pig-monkey Pokémon, is inexplicably enraged. It gets angry whenever someone makes eye contact with it, and it will also get angry if you turn around and run away. Even if you beat someone up, Primeape will still get angry.

Primeape will not forgive anyone or any Pokémon that angers it. It will relentlessly pursue the target, and even if it beats the target into immobility, it will still not forgive them. Primeape is a brutal Pokémon that will relentlessly chase and defeat anything that angers it.

PS: It seems that Kojiro's flying kick has triggered several evolutions in the anime!

Chapter 74 Jade Rainbow Arena, Nazja in Black Stockings and Leather Jacket

"It's...Incineroar!"

Ash stared in disbelief at the enormous, menacing creature with bloodshot eyes before him.

Shi Dou, who was watching this dramatic scene from the side, smiled helplessly.

Does Kojiro's flying kick have some kind of strange evolutionary catalyst? Back on the Saint Anne, Kojiro got ripped off, spending a fortune on a supposedly golden-egg-laying Magikarp, only to find it was just an ordinary Magikarp. After the shipwreck, Kojiro discovered that this Magikarp couldn't swim and couldn't be eaten, making it practically useless. So he kicked it into the water, but unexpectedly, the Magikarp evolved into Gyarados!

With a single move, Dragon's Wrath, Kojiro and his companions were thrown into the sea.

Back then, he kicked Magikarp into evolving into Gyarados, and now he's kicked Mankey into evolving into Primeape... His "assist" ability is truly unmatched.

The evolved Primeape was completely consumed by rage and lost its reason. It began to rampage across the field, attacking anything in its path. Team Rocket and Ash were beaten black and blue, suffering a truly miserable defeat.

Then, Infernape even roared and charged towards Tokito, its huge fist smashing down with a fierce wind!

However, before Shi Dou could give any command, Cain, who had been hiding in the shadows, had already appeared.

The Shadow Shield unfolded silently, forming an absolute defense in front of Tokito, along with the Barrier-Barrier Fruit ability from One Piece!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

No matter how frantically Infernape rammed and pounded, the Shadow Shield remained completely unmoved, not even a ripple appeared. All the impact and fury were completely absorbed and annihilated by the deep shadow.

"Now, Ash!" Tokito reminded him.

Ash reacted immediately, throwing out a Poké Ball. "Charmander, use Flamethrower to distract it!"

"Gah!" Charmander spewed out scorching flames that bombarded Infernape, successfully attracting Infernape's attention.

"Now's the time, Squirtle, use the water gun!"

"Bulbasaur, Leaf Blade."

Ash's other friends also joined in, unleashing various type moves on Primeape. Although they couldn't defeat it immediately, they further depleted its stamina and made it even more agitated.

Finally, Ash spotted an opening and threw an empty Poké Ball with all his might, hitting the panting Infernape squarely on the forehead.

The Poké Ball blinked a few times, then finally went silent with a "ding".

"I did it! I caught Infernape."

Ash excitedly ran over, picked up the Poké Ball, and held it high.

"Pikachu~~~"

Pikachu said happily.

"Congratulations, Xiaozhi!" Xiaoxia was genuinely happy for him.

Tokito stepped forward, looking at the Poké Ball in Ash's hand, and said with a meaningful tone, "Ash, now that you've caught it, you must cherish and train it well. Remember, no matter who asks you for this Primeape for any reason in the future, you must choose to keep it by your side. Raise it with your heart and make it the strongest Fighting-type Pokémon in the world!"

Although Ash didn't quite understand why Tokito was giving such serious instructions, he could sense the concern and expectation in his words, and nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes! I understand, Mr. Tokito, I will definitely train Primeape well!"

In the future Generation Z, Infernape can evolve again into a Ghost/Fighting type, becoming an extremely powerful and imposing Outcast.

Infernape can evolve into Renoir by using Rage Punch 20 times. Renoir Punch concentrates its hidden anger into its fist, the power of which can penetrate deep into the opponent's bones and shatter them. When its anger exceeds a certain threshold, it gains the power to break free from physical constraints.

If Xiao Zhineng is properly trained, this fiery monkey definitely has the potential to become the world's number one monkey king!

We can't just give them away like in the original storyline.

……

Having resolved this minor incident, everyone got back into the car and continued their journey to Yuhong City.

As the vehicle entered the territory of Yuhong City, even those who were used to the prosperity of Jinhuang City couldn't help but be attracted by the scene before them.

Celadon City, another highly representative metropolis in the Kanto region, has a completely different style from Saffron City. If Saffron City is a modern steel jungle and technology center, then Celadon City is more like a dream city that blends commerce, culture, and leisure.

The city has a spacious layout, with clean streets and lush greenery. The most eye-catching feature is the towering, modern-looking Rainbow Game City, whose huge neon sign shines alluringly even during the day, attracting countless trainers and tourists.

The citizens of Yuhong City are proud of their city's beauty, but they believe that such a casino is detrimental to Yuhong City's image.

Rainbow City is one of the six game cities in the Pokémon world, where you can even exchange for Dratini, an extremely rare Pokémon from the Kanto region.

Incidentally, there is a complex Team Rocket base four stories deep beneath the game city.

This is the secret base that Team Rocket uses to drive and manage its organizational activities.

Adjacent to it is the magnificent Rainbow Department Store, which is said to be the largest shopping center in the Kanto region, offering everything from ordinary travel gear to rare Pokémon items.

In one corner of the city stands the Rainbow Gym, surrounded by a beautiful garden, exuding the tranquility and vitality unique to Grass-type Pokémon. On the other side of the city lies our destination—the Rainbow Arena.

This is a modern venue designed specifically for high-level Pokémon battles, with a huge circular dome that gleams in the sunlight.

A relaxed and pleasant atmosphere permeates the air, with citizens enjoying their holiday and trainers from all over the world everywhere. This place is not only a paradise for shopping and entertainment, but also a stage for powerful trainers to gather. The qualifying match between Toki and Sabrina will officially begin in this charming city.

After settling in at the Pokémon Center in Celadon City, everything went smoothly.

Eye-catching promotional posters had already been posted on the bulletin board in the central lobby:

[The official Gym qualification battle for Saffron City! Psychic Queen Sabrina vs. the mysterious rising star Toki! The ultimate showdown awaits at Celadon Stadium!]

The promotional poster attracted many trainers and citizens to stop and discuss it, and they were full of anticipation for tomorrow's competition.

Ash and his friends were also excitedly planning to first visit the famous Celadon Game City and department store. As for the challenge at the Celadon Gym, they decided to wait until after Brock finished this crucial qualifying match.

……

As night fell and the city lights began to twinkle, the hustle and bustle gradually subsided. In his room at the Pokémon Center, Tokito was checking the Pokémon's condition one last time to make sure everything was in order. Just as he was about to rest, his communicator rang. The caller ID showed Lance.

"Good evening, Gym Leader Tokito." Lance greeted him as usual, then his tone became serious. "Thank you again for your decisive action in Lavender Town. Athena's capture is a heavy blow to Team Rocket."

"Mr. Du, you're too kind. It's just my duty."

Shi Dou responded calmly.

Although they have escaped, it cannot be said openly.

"I and several colleagues from the league will be there to watch tomorrow's game. Give it your all and let me see your full potential." Yu Longdu's words were filled with obvious anticipation.

Shi Dou smiled slightly and replied confidently, "OK, please look forward to it, you won't be disappointed."

The next day, early morning.

When Tou and Ash arrived at the Rainbow Stadium, even though they were mentally prepared, they were still shocked by the sight before them.

Crowds of people!

The magnificent domed structure of the arena was already surrounded by a surging crowd. Trainers and Pokémon enthusiasts from all over Kanto, and even other regions, had gathered early, awaiting this highly anticipated battle. The air was filled with excitement, anticipation, and enthusiastic discussions.

"The Saffron City Gym Qualifier? Wait, didn't we just have one last month? Why are we having another one?"

"I heard it's a competition for the new gym owner."

"The new Gym Leader is the great hero who saved the San Anne and the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town. He seems to have defeated Team Rocket executives one after another and received special treatment from the League. Therefore, the League has rescheduled a formal match between him and Sabrina, the Goldenrod Gym Leader."

"Whoever wins will become the only official Gym of Saffron City."

"I see, that's wonderful."

"I heard that the gym leader back then used Pokémon I'd never seen before, so I support him."

"But Miss Sabrina's superpowers are invincible! I'm rooting for her!"

"I also think that black stockings are the cutest and most adorable."

"This is the match that will determine the representative gym of Saffron City! We absolutely can't miss it!"

Even more eye-catching was the fact that the area outside the arena was filled with broadcast vans from major television stations and media outlets, their cameras and microphones already set up, and reporters were conducting live coverage, maximizing the hype surrounding the match.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Rainbow Arena. Today, we will be broadcasting live a fierce battle that will determine the ownership of the Saffron City Gym. Will the Queen of Psychic Defend her title, or will the new heir to the Fighting Dojo stage a comeback? Find out in the match to come!"

Huge electronic displays surrounded the outer walls of the arena, scrolling through promotional videos of Tokito and Sabrina, along with a countdown to the match. The atmosphere had reached its peak.

This gym qualifying tournament, officially endorsed by the league and brimming with buzz, has become the most anticipated event in the Kanto region recently!

The arena was packed, with a deafening roar of cheers.

"Now, let's give a warm round of applause to our two contestants—the Superpower Queen of Saffron City, Ms. Sabrina, and the rising star from the Saffron City Fighting Dojo, the Gym Leader of Time Fighting!"

Amidst deafening cheers and flashing spotlights, the two contestants walked steadily out of their respective contestant tunnels.

Tokito was still dressed in his usual smart casual clothes, his expression calm, but his eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit. He nodded slightly in the direction of Ash and the others who were cheering him on.

The appearance of Sabrina caused an even bigger stir.

She was no longer the girl who had been clutching a doll with a blank expression. Her long, dark green hair was now elegantly flowing, and she had changed into a well-tailored red leather crop top and skirt, paired with black tights that perfectly accentuated her legs. She looked both aloof and exuded mature charm, completely different from before—absolutely stunning!

The entire audience erupted in cheers!

At the very back of the stands, Yulongdu stood with his arms crossed, hidden in the shadows, his eyes fixed on the arena, observing everything.

Meanwhile, people around the world are paying attention to this match:

In Pallet Town, Professor Oak put down his research and sat in front of the television with great interest.

In a corner of the stands at the Celadon City Stadium, Shinji and Raiji, brothers who had just finished challenging the Celadon Gym yesterday and were planning to leave, stayed behind after seeing the promotional poster.

In Asakusa City, Shigeru and Kaoru, who were preparing for their next gym, also tuned to the television broadcast of the match.

It can be said that every trainer who has ever interacted with or even been "educated" by the Goldenrod Gym or the Time Trial is paying attention to this showdown in different ways.

…………

The trainers from both sides took their places at the command platform, and the senior referee appointed by the league stepped forward to clearly read out the rules:

"The rules for this official Gym Qualifying Tournament in Saffron City are 3-on-3 singles battles. The match ends when all Pokémon on one side are unable to battle! Trainers can freely switch Pokémon during the battle. Now... let the battle begin!"

"Mr. Mime is now in your hands!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Sabrina waved her slender hand and sent out her first Pokémon.

A Pokémon that resembles a clown appeared. Mr. Mime, the Barrier Pokémon, excels at mime. He has been practicing constantly and is a master mime artist. He can emit incredible waves from his fingertips, and with a slight wave of his fingers, he can stop the molecules in the air from moving, creating invisible walls. These walls can deflect even strong attacks, protecting him from most assaults.

Seeing that the opponent had sent out a Mr. Mime with absolute defense, Tokito, without thinking, forcefully threw out a Poké Ball.

"Since you're just killing time anyway, come out and enjoy yourself...come out and get beaten up, Gager!!!"

"Gager!!"

After evolving, Gargill, now more robust and wielding a massive gauntlet, made a spirited entrance, forcefully colliding his fists together with a dull thud.

Upon seeing this, the host immediately exclaimed, "Sarcasm has sent out the powerful Mr. Mime! And the Gym Leader of Time Battle has sent out... um... eh?! What kind of Pokémon is that?! I've never seen it before!!"

The host's exclamation echoed throughout the arena through the microphone. The audience was initially stunned, but then erupted into even more enthusiastic cheers and discussions. Many people raised their cameras or catalogs and aimed them at the unfamiliar blue fighter on the field, and the flashes went off everywhere!

"Here we go again! Mr. Tokito's Unknown Pokémon!"

"That looks really strong! That punch!"

"What's the type this time? Fighting?"

This highly anticipated qualifying match was full of suspense and unexpected developments from the very beginning.

In Chapter 75, Gager doesn't need to worry about anything; he just needs to take the beatings and gamble on an instant kill.

(PS: After thinking about it, Mr. Mime is a better replacement for Jynx as Sabrina's standard Pokémon, so I've made a slight change. The previous chapter has already been revised.)

……

The cameras of major television stations closely followed Gagar, a Pokémon that had never appeared in any Pokédex before. Its image was rapidly transmitted through radio waves to Kanto and even further regions, sparking countless discussions and speculations.
