I caught a Pokémon

What is the evolutionary form of the sloth otter?

Xiaoxia put down her Pokédex and looked at the restless-looking Pokémon in front of her with a puzzled expression.

Judging from the description alone, it seems to be at the opposite extreme from the sloth otter, making it hard to imagine that it is actually an evolved form of the sloth otter!

Could it be that you're so energetic because you slept too much before?

Unlike Xiaoxia's gossipy nature, Xia You was pondering something else in the Trainer Command Area.

The same thing happened during the last challenge of the Fighting Dojo; Fujiki brought out his Makuhime and Iron Fist Pokémon in succession, Pokémon of the same species but different forms.

Why is it that even here, Qianli is using the same old tricks?

After defeating this one, will they send out Slave King again later?

Is this a characteristic of gym leaders in the Hoenn region?

Although he was puzzled, he didn't stop working and took out the Poké Ball he had prepared beforehand.

"Go, Mighty Chicken!"

As Xia You forcefully threw the Poké Ball, his Mammillot entered the arena once again after its last challenge of the Fighting Gym!

In fact, it's not hard to see from its frequent appearances that Xia You is indeed diligently training its strength.

As soon as the Mighty Chicken entered the arena, looking at its opponent, a fiery fighting spirit ignited in its heart.

The hyperactive ape was not to be outdone. It first glanced sideways at the strong chicken, then wiggled its butt and made a provocative gesture!

The fire in the heart of the strong chicken burned even brighter.

The pre-match friction between the two Pokémon made the match incredibly intense, and once the referee signaled the start of the match, it immediately reached its climax!

Combusken and Apexis charged toward each other, and at the very moment they met, one of the Pokémon kicked high and the other threw a punch, their fists and feet colliding!

The hyperactive ape is undoubtedly stronger than the sloth otter from before.

However, similarly, the Power Chicken with both fire and fighting attributes has an advantage over the previous one!

Most importantly, the Mighty Chicken, which has already gone through several battles, is not as inexperienced as the Metal Monster, and is not so easy to deal with!

"Hyperactive ape, split it open!"

"Strong Chicken, use Double Kick!"

The two Pokémon clashed again, but neither could gain the upper hand!

What surprised Xia You even more was that when the Power Chicken jumped back to create distance and used Flamethrower to try to wear down its opponent from a mid-to-long distance, she saw the Ape use the same move!

The two jets of flame converged in the middle of the field, forming a huge ball of fire!

Upon seeing the flame, both Xia You and the Mighty Chicken showed expressions of astonishment.

What's going on?!

An hyperactive ape can breathe fire?!

Recalling the blizzard that the Sloth had just unleashed, Xia You was speechless, wondering what kind of bizarre moves Qianli had taught his Pokémon.

Seeing the surprise on the face of the person and their Pokémon, Qianli smiled slightly, clearly enjoying their astonished expressions!

He had seen the same expression on the faces of countless challengers.

In fact, he taught Pokémon these non-type moves in order to surprise them in battle and give these challengers an unexpected 'experience'!

This could be considered one of his little hobbies, and also part of his fighting style.

Even the hyperactive ape raised an eyebrow, looking defiantly at the strong chicken, muttering a few words as if to say: "Little brat, didn't expect that, did you? I know your moves too! What can you do to me?!"

The strong chicken was furious, and its anger intensified. It charged towards the hyperactive ape!

Xia You did not stop it. In fact, appropriate anger can better inspire the fighting spirit of Fire-type Pokémon. It is a double-edged sword, and it depends on how the trainer uses it.

Sure enough, in its furious state, the Mighty Chicken's attacks became even more powerful and swift.

Scratching, pecking, double kicks, a flash of lightning...

Combusken unleashed a barrage of attacks, and even agile and energetic Pokémon like Hyperactive Ape struggled to keep up with its frenzied onslaught.

Moreover, during the battle, the hyperactive ape also discovered that, in terms of speed, this strong chicken was actually on par with itself!

This took it by surprise.

After all, it had fought against this kind of Pokémon before in previous gym battles, but none of them could match the speed of this Robusta!

This makes it increasingly difficult for it to cope.

Qianli naturally noticed this as well, and he frowned slightly, clearly pondering how to break the deadlock.

In this state, Roborock's speed and attack power are already at their peak; it's incredibly fast and ruthless. Considering Hyperactive Apex's strength and the moves it has mastered, it seems...

It seems we'll have to wait until the strong chicken's stamina weakens a bit!

Hopefully, the hyperactive apes can hold on until then!

Xia You naturally had no idea what Qianli was thinking. Unlike Qianli, who was thinking about how to defend, Xia You was also trying to find the weakness of the Overactive Ape.

No one knows his own rooster better than him, because he also knows very well that this crazy offensive can't last long.

Now we'll see if Strongchick can break through Ape's defenses before its stamina weakens, or if Ape will hold out until the end and turn the tide!

So, what exactly is your weakness...?

Xia You carefully observed the ape's every move and frowned in thought.

And sure enough, upon closer inspection, he actually discovered something!

Chapter 675 It really was it! (Please subscribe)

Hyperactive apes are just too active.

Xia You discovered that in every movement it made, whether it was attacking, defending, or running, it would include some unnecessary actions such as pacing, tiptoeing, reaching out, scratching its cheek, and pounding its chest.

This is due to its inherent nature, and it is also something that it reveals unintentionally.

With a sudden thought, he ordered the Brontosaurus to attack again. At the same time, he also carefully observed the actions of the Hyperactive Apex. Sure enough, just as he had discovered, these were indeed the Hyperactive Apex's subconscious reactions!

A plan instantly formed in his mind.

Without time to consider whether it was feasible, and seeing that the strong chicken's speed was gradually slowing down, he had no choice but to take a gamble and test his guess with action.

"Strong Chicken, attack with your claws!"

He deliberately let Combusken use a move that was relatively easy to dodge, and just as he expected, the moment Combusken reached out its claws to grab Ataur, the Ataur easily dodged and then instinctively hopped to the side twice!

Xia You immediately seized the opportunity!

As the hyperactive ape landed, he immediately shouted, "Target diagonally behind, use double kick!"

Despite some doubts, Combusken obeyed its trainer's instructions and kicked backward twice without even turning its head!

Boom!Boom!

These two kicks landed precisely on the hyperactive ape's chest!

The hyperactive ape staggered back a few steps, wincing in pain as it clutched the spot where it had been kicked!

Oh?

Seeing this, Qianli raised his eyebrows, but didn't think much of it, assuming that Xia You had just guessed it by chance.

However, what happened next made him realize that something was really wrong.

Xia You used the same trick again and succeeded once more!

This time, being kicked in the same spot repeatedly, the hyperactive monkey was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely!

This is a serious problem.

Qianli frowned, pondering why things had turned out this way.

Clearly, the man opposite had seen through the ape's movements and thus predicted its reaction.

But... how exactly did he do it?

On the other side, seeing Qianli's bewildered expression, Xia You smiled gently.

This is what is meant by being blinded by one's own involvement.

There are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.

When humans first learned about Pokémon, they gave these Pokémon all sorts of names based on their habits and characteristics. The reason why Hyperactive Ape is called Hyperactive Ape is undoubtedly because of its hyperactive personality!

As Senri's Pokémon, Senri is naturally very familiar with and quite accustomed to Apiston, but it is precisely because of this familiarity that he overlooks this important characteristic.

Of course, it wasn't just Xia You; many people must have noticed this, but obviously they didn't take it seriously, or rather, even if they did, most trainers couldn't seize this fleeting opportunity.

Over time, even Senri himself became less vigilant about this characteristic.

However, given his experience and insight, Qianli, though initially puzzled, quickly understood the reason after carefully observing Xia You's gaze for a while and then looking at the hyperactive ape.

It turned out to be such a thing!

However, even if he wanted to change it, he couldn't change anything.

It's important to understand that this habit of hyperactive apes is something they've had since they evolved; it's not something that can be controlled with just a few words.

Under such an offensive, Hyperactive Ape was unable to resist at all. After taking another hit from a Fighting-type move, its eyelids rolled back, and it finally fell backward.

"The hyperactive ape is unable to fight, so the strong chicken wins!"

This battle can be described as a stalemate in the early stages, followed by a complete rout in the later stages.

If Xia You hadn't discovered the weakness of the hyperactive ape, it probably would have ended up like the lazy otter and the metal monster, resulting in a mutually destructive fight.

This also shows that even when facing regular Pokémon from novice trainers, Senri's strength is indeed very high.

She recalled the equally panting Roborock and waited for Qianli's third Pokémon.

Instead of immediately taking out a third Pokémon, Qianli clapped his hands and smiled at Xia You, saying, "I didn't expect you to predict the movements of the Hyperactive Ape. You have excellent observation skills!"

“This is not something to be happy about.” Not wanting to hear this, Xia You shook her head with some regret. “They are still too young and have a long way to go. If I were really good enough, I should have noticed these things at the beginning of the battle, which would have made the battle easier.”

Can it be even better?

Qianli looked at the man with complicated emotions.

Winning a battle and being able to immediately summarize and reflect on it is something many people can't do in their entire lives.

With his current strength, he can easily win the championships of two regions. If he continues to grow like this, who knows what he will become in the end.

I really want to see just how high he'll end up!

Pulling himself back to reality, Senri took out the third Poké Ball from his pocket.

"Next up is my last Pokémon. This Pokémon is very strong, and it's one of the more powerful ones I have. In fact, many challengers have fallen to it and failed in their challenges."

Hearing him say that, Xia You also turned her attention to the Poké Ball.

It can be seen that the strength of the first two Pokémon in the series increases with difficulty, so this last Pokémon will undoubtedly be the strongest of the three.

Moreover, the fact that it can gain the approval of a thousand miles shows that its strength must be truly formidable!

Under his watchful eye, Senri threw out the third Poké Ball.

With a flash of blue light, a Pokémon resembling a gorilla appeared on the battlefield in a reclining position.

Xia You was speechless as she looked at the Pokémon.

To my surprise, I was right. It really is the ultimate evolution of the lazy otter—Slacker!

All I can say is that, in one respect, Senri is a man with an extreme obsessive-compulsive disorder. He actually possesses three forms of the same Pokémon at the same time, and he has even devoted his heart and soul to raising them all!

Just how much does he love Pokémon?!

Slaking has a pink, pig-like nose and beige skin. Its eye circles are brown, and it looks somewhat lazy and sleepy. It has two tufts of white hair on its head like buds, a ring of white hair around its neck and body, and brown hair on its limbs, making it somewhat similar to baboons and gorillas on Earth.

Shaking her head helplessly, Xia You put her hand in her waist pouch and began to think about what to use to fight it.

At the same time, Misty once again took out her Pokédex and aimed it at Slaking.

She shared the same doubts as Xia You and wanted to ask Mitsuko about Chisato's reasons for doing so, but since it involved her privacy, she didn't ask rashly.

Pokémon Pokédex entry: "Beep, Slaking, the Pokémon that hates trouble, Normal type. Slaking is the most carefree Pokémon in the world. It usually lives lying down. It eats food that is within its reach, such as grass. Only after all the grass around it has been eaten will it reluctantly roll over and move to another place. Therefore, there are always regular circles around it. These are formed by Slaking lying down and eating all the grass around it. Although it looks like it is just lying there without moving, it is actually accumulating the power to counterattack. It can release the accumulated energy at once and thus unleash amazing power."

Since they weren't very far apart, the sound of the Pokédex could naturally reach Xia You's ears.
