Pokémon, Inkaros, my starter Pokémon

Flames and poisonous mist exploded, fist winds and slashes intertwined, figures flew across the arena, and the deafening roar of colliding energy was deafening! Salud's attacks were sharp and precise, while Infernape's counterattacks were wild and fierce. The two attacked each other, and the battle entered a white-hot stage from the very beginning!

"This is so intense! This is the true charm of Fighting-type Pokémon battles!" the host exclaimed excitedly.

After a fierce exchange, Infernape seized an opening, leaping into the air and gathering immense power in its right leg, slashing down like a battle axe—

A million-ton flying leg!

"Salud, get out of the way."

Salud ducked, narrowly avoiding the powerful kick. Infernape's leg slammed into the ring floor with a thud, and in that instant, as its strength waned and new energy failed to rise, Salud's counterattack arrived. Burning poison blades and scythes wreathed in poisonous flames clashed and struck Infernape's body once more!

"Oh!"

The double blow caused Infernape to let out a painful howl as its body flew backward, crashing heavily into the ropes at the edge of the ring before bouncing back to the ground. It struggled to get up but could not immediately, its body covered in burns and poison marks.

"Primalosaurus!" Ash cried out in distress.

The host, also looking on anxiously, said, "The situation is very bad! Inferno Monkey has been seriously injured. Can it even stand up again?"

Salud stood still, the energy on his scythe slowly receding, his cold compound eyes looking down at his struggling opponent with a hint of the arrogance of a strongman.

"Incineroar... Stand up! We haven't lost yet!"

Ash's voice choked with emotion as he began to encourage Primeape.

Hearing the trainer's shouts, feeling the intense pain in his body, and seeing Salud's condescending gaze, the light in Infernape's eyes, which had been dimmed by pain, was instantly replaced by an extreme sense of resentment and anger!

It wants to meet Ash's expectations!

It absolutely cannot fall here!

“Roar, ahh ...

A roar that seemed to come from the depths of the soul erupted from Infernape's mouth. With all its might, Infernape leaped up from the ground. The energy on its fists was not ordinary fighting energy, but a terrifying dark red energy filled with endless rage and resentment!

At this moment, Infernape's eyes were completely covered in red light, and its body exuded a chilling aura. In an instant, it transformed into an arrow and rushed towards Salud. Its dark red fist, carrying the will to destroy everything, slammed out fiercely!

This is... the Fist of Wrath!!

"what?!"

Ash exclaimed in surprise, he had never seen Primeape use such a move before.

A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Dou's eyes, but he quickly understood and explained, "This is the Fist of Wrath."

This is a move exclusive to the Infernape family. Its power increases dramatically with the number of times the user takes damage during battle. The base power is 50 points, and it can reach a maximum of 350 points!

Unexpectedly, under Salud's pressure, it was forced to learn this move. As a result, the potential of this fiery monkey was fully unleashed, and it is now qualified to evolve into a Forsaken monkey in the future and control even more powerful rage!

Faced with the dark red fist aura that contained all of Infernape's pain and indomitable spirit, Salud dared not be careless any longer. He crossed his two scythes in front of him and blocked with all his might!

"boom--!!!"

The dark red energy slammed into the scythe, producing a deafening explosion. The powerful impact caused Salud's body to shudder violently, and he even slid half a step backward. For the first time, his usually cold expression showed a hint of strain.

"This guy……"

Looking at Salud, who had withstood the amazing blow, and the Inferno Monkey opposite him, who was panting but whose eyes were even more intense, Shidou knew that this final was far from over.

The atmosphere on the ring was frozen solid. After exchanging heavy blows, the two briefly separated, their rapid breathing clearly audible.

"Salud, create some distance and use Fire Blade!"

The situation dictates the change of tactics.

Salud leaped back a step, and swung his main scythe out fiercely, unleashing a blazing slash that plowed the ground like a crescent moon.

"Primarina, jump up and get out of the way!" Ash commanded quickly.

Incineroar leaped with all its might, barely dodging the flames that rushed down from the ground, and its body soared to the highest point in the air.

"Now! Use the momentum of the fall to unleash Rage Punch!" Ash seized the fleeting opportunity!

"Roar!"

The Infernape, suspended in mid-air, once again gathered its dark red, violent energy, and its body plummeted down towards Salud below like a meteorite, its fist aimed directly at its target!

"Salud, swiftly counterattack, unleash both swords!"

"Sa—!!!"

Salud's eyes flashed with blue light, and his body was instantly enveloped in a white halo of divine speed, transforming into a deep blue lightning bolt that surged upwards. Both scythes shone with sharpness, one wrapped with the residual power of the Illusionary Demon Fang Strike, and the other condensed with the purest slashing power, fearlessly meeting the dark red fist light that descended from the sky.

This is the ultimate collision of speed and power, a clash of sparks of will and belief!

"Whoosh—Boom!!!"

A blinding arc of light exploded in the center of the arena, accompanied by a deafening roar of energy. Two figures passed each other, one above the other, and then landed heavily on the ground at the same time, frozen back to back on either side of the arena.

The entire arena fell silent instantly; everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the two elves.

The referee quickly stepped forward, looking on nervously.

One second, two seconds...

"Primalino!" Ash couldn't help but shout.

The Infernape swayed as it tried to steady itself, but its wounds and exhaustion made it unable to continue. The red light in its eyes went out like a candle in the wind, and finally, with a look of unwillingness, it slowly leaned forward and fell heavily onto the arena, losing consciousness.

Salud, its body supported by its scythe, its chest heaving violently, clearly exhausted, yet it still stubbornly raised its head, its deep blue carapace gleaming with the luster of a victor under the spotlight.

After careful inspection, the referee raised the flag representing the direction of the battle and announced loudly:

"Infernape is unable to battle, therefore, the champion of the P1 Fighting Tournament is... Tokito!!!"

"The battle is over—!!!" The host's shout instantly ignited the passion of the entire audience: "After a fierce duel, the final victor has been born! Let us give the warmest applause and cheers to the champion, Shi Dou, and his powerful partner, Salud!!!"

"Ooooooooooo!!!"

Deafening cheers and applause swept through the entire venue like a tsunami, while the spotlight remained firmly fixed on the deep blue figure in the center of the ring.

Salud slowly straightened up, looked around at the crowd cheering for him, and listened to the thunderous applause. For the first time, his usually cold compound eyes clearly reflected the light of excitement and satisfaction.

Yes... that's exactly the feeling!

The exhilarating battle, and the glory that was recognized and cheered by countless people after the victory!

PS: There will be another chapter later.

Chapter 91, the Space Station gameplay, is now available! Challenge the Tower of Heroes!

Ash rushed onto the arena, tenderly picked up the unconscious Primeape, and gently comforted it, "You've done a great job, Primeape!"

Then, Ash looked up at Tokito who was walking over and said sincerely, "Congratulations, Mr. Tokito, on winning the championship."

Toki patted Ash on the shoulder, his gaze falling on his Primeape, and said with an appreciative tone, "Your Primeape performed exceptionally well, especially in learning Rage Punch in a desperate situation, and the unwavering bond between you and it. Remember, it has unlimited potential, and you must train it to become a Fighting Champion yourself, not rely on someone else."

Ash nodded vigorously and said firmly, "I understand, Mr. Tokito. I will definitely work hard with Primeape. You are our goal!"

At this moment, the host solemnly walked up to Salud, holding a golden championship belt that symbolized the highest honor of the P1 Fighting Tournament, and carefully draped it over Salud's shoulders.

The golden belt contrasted sharply with Salud's deep blue body, gleaming under the spotlight and displaying supreme glory!

Salud raised his head slightly, feeling the weight around his waist and the focused gaze of the entire arena, and let out a deep and powerful cry.

At this moment, Salud truly experienced the glory of being a warrior, and became even more determined to fight and grow stronger.

The P1 Fighting Tournament concluded successfully with the crowning of Tokito and Salud.

After the lively awards ceremony and celebrations ended, the crowd gradually dispersed. Just as Shidou was about to leave with Salud, a figure blocked his way. It was none other than Sendou, whom he had eliminated in the semifinals.

With a slightly embarrassed yet eager smile on his face, Shan Dou rubbed his hands together and said, "Um... Brother Shi Dou, congratulations on winning the championship! Your Salut has tremendous potential! How about... could you let me train it? I have extensive experience training Fighting-type Pokémon, and I'm absolutely confident that I can train it into a true Fighting Champion!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Dou was so angry at the man's shamelessness that he almost laughed.

Tokito looked Sento up and down, and said with undisguised speechlessness, "Mr. Sento, if I remember correctly, I won the semi-final match just now, and you were the loser, right?"

"Uh...this..."

Fan Dou's face stiffened, and he stammered in reply.

Tokito continued, "Me, a champion, handing over my Pokémon with unlimited potential to you, a defeated opponent, for training? Am I out of my mind, or do you think I am? Please have some self-awareness!"

This scathing rebuke left Shan Dou blushing and speechless. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word, and could only slink away in embarrassment.

Shamelessness knows no bounds. Doesn't he know his own limitations?

However, Shan Dou was clearly not giving up.

Not long after Shidou left, he saw him approach Ash, who was feeding Rice Balls to his Primal Monk.

"Ash, your Primeape may have lost, but it has great talent. It just lacks systematic guidance. Give it to me, and I guarantee I'll train it to become a Fighting Champion that can rival Mr. Salud!" Fan Dou started promoting his sales pitch to Ash again.

Ash looked at the Primal Primeape in his arms, its spirits low but its eyes still stubborn, and recalled Tokito's words to him in the arena. He shook his head firmly and said:

"Thank you, Mr. Fan. But no need. I want to get stronger with Infernape. I will personally train it to become a Fighting Champion and then defeat Mr. Tokito."

Upon hearing Ash's answer, Tokito, who was not far away, nodded in satisfaction.

This is right!

What kind of logic is it to hand over your partner to someone else?

What's more, this Infernape that has mastered the Fist of Fury can evolve into Forsaken in the future!

Abandoned Monkey, with its G9 generation strength and powerful exclusive skills, is going to participate in the Indigo League, a game with a background full of baby-type characters...

The scene was so beautiful, it was like a dimensional reduction attack, it was like they could easily crush it!

After saying goodbye to Ash and the others and wishing Ash good luck in his upcoming Fuchsia City Gym challenge, Tokito drove back to Saffron City.

As the vehicle entered Golden City, the city lights were already on.

The city under the night sky sheds the hustle and bustle of the day, and the neon lights outline the contours of the buildings, making it appear both tranquil and prosperous. This trip to the P1 Fighting Tournament only took one day round trip, which was extremely efficient.

Back at the fighting dojo, Mei immediately greeted him, excitedly reporting on the dojo's operations that day. Although there were some minor hiccups, everything went smoothly overall, and she was becoming increasingly adept at handling things.

Shi Dou gave her full affirmation and praise for her performance.

After a simple dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Shi Dou returned to his room, closed the door, and looked on with anticipation. He took a deep breath and activated the system on his wrist.

As consciousness sank in, a familiar interface unfolded, and a prominent notification immediately popped up:

[Ding! Side quest 'P1 King of Fighters' has been completed!]

[Task rewards are being distributed...]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully unlocked the immersive experience module – 'Sailor Moon Galaxy Simulation and Space Station Training System'!]

finally come.

With excitement, Shi Dou asked the system, "How exactly do I use this 'Sailor Moon Galaxy Simulation and Space Station Training System'?"

The system responded in a mechanical voice: [Please lie flat on the bed, put on this exclusive connection device, and then say the activation command 'Lincoln Big Head' to connect to the system.]

"Lincoln, you big-headed idiot? This command... why does it sound so familiar? It's so relatable!"

Shi Dou was taken aback, and then his expression became somewhat strange.

System, is your plagiarism really that blatant?!

Despite his complaints, Shi Dou obediently accepted the pair of futuristic, streamlined glasses materialized by the system, lay down on the bed, took a deep breath, put on the glasses, and whispered the familiar command:

"Lincoln, damn head!"

The moment he finished speaking, he felt his consciousness being pulled away from his body by a gentle yet powerful force!

What lay before me was no longer the familiar ceiling, but a vast and boundless galaxy of stars. Countless stars streaked past me like streaks of light, as if I were on a faster-than-light cosmic journey. This immersive experience was far beyond what any virtual reality technology could offer.

After an unknown amount of time, or perhaps only a moment, the feeling of traversing stopped. Shi Dou's "body" stabilized, and he found himself standing inside a massive space station filled with futuristic technology.

This is the Seer Space Station!

Looking around, at the center of the huge ring structure is the command cabin and energy core, emitting a soft blue light. Through the huge observation window, you can see that it is connected to a huge solar energy matrix, constantly drawing energy from the star.

One side is an area marked with training modules, inside which the battle platform that can adjust gravity is vaguely visible.

There is a clearly energy-locked area in the lower right corner, marked with the words "[Dark Arena Jump Entrance (Unlocked)]".

Not far away is the resource reserve area, which stores various energy crystals that shimmer with a faint light. The entire space station is also equipped with an advanced holographic projection system that can simulate various cosmic battlefield environments in real time.

What attracts Shi Dou's attention the most is a towering spiral spire standing on one side of the space station, exuding an aura of antiquity and challenge—the Tower of Heroes!
