"Compare?"
Pidgey nodded suspiciously. Although it didn't know what Gary was going to do, attacking Magma would be quite simple.
Next, Shigeru took out an egg-shaped stone from his backpack, about the same size as an evolution stone. Its surface was smooth as jade, and it looked like a very nice stone.
"Shigeru, what's this?" Ash asked curiously.
"This is an evolution stone."
"Evolution Stone...?"
"This is an item that, when carried by a Pokémon that can still evolve, greatly enhances its defensive capabilities," Xiao Shi explained.
"Oh! There's such a thing?" Ash exclaimed in surprise.
"Ash, this is a normal item, used to help trainers train Pokémon. In fact, Pokémon are allowed to bring items in no-rules competitions," Brock explained from the side.
Xiao Gang hadn't paid much attention to this kind of thing before, but after spending time with Xiao Mao, he realized that Xiao Zhi was still a novice when it came to Pokémon knowledge, and didn't even know about Pokémon items.
Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia both felt ashamed for Xiao Zhi at this moment.
Especially considering that Ash always wanted to compete with Gary, and now that they had met Gary in person, even after spending less than a day together, they realized that the gap between Ash and Gary was enormous.
"Oh, I see. But what are you doing with the Evolution Stone, Gary?" Ash asked, puzzled.
"You'll find out soon enough." Xiao Mao was getting a little annoyed. This Xiao Zhi was acting like a three-year-old child. Whenever he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask "why," and it was driving Xiao Mao crazy.
After equipping the Primeape with an Evolution Stone, Gary commanded, "Pidgeotto, use Feather Dance on Ash's Pidgeotto."
"Compare!"
Gary's Pidgeotto flew to Ash's Pidgeotto, flapped its wings, and countless pure white feathers made of energy surrounded the Pidgeotto, dancing gracefully in the air.
"What is this?" Ash asked, looking completely bewildered.
"Ash, Feather Dance is a skill that can greatly reduce the opponent's attack power," Gary explained.
Ash and his friends were puzzled, wondering why Gary would do such a thing. Ash knew that even if he asked, Gary wouldn't tell him, so he could only continue to watch.
After using Feather Dance three times on Ash's Pidgeotto, Feather Dance was then used on Primeape.
Physical attack has been reduced to the minimum; we can begin the battle.
Gary commanded Ash's Pidgeotto, "Pidgeotto, use Quick Attack on Magna. Magna, you can only use Angry Punch to retaliate."
"Compare!"
Ash's Pidgeotto nodded, flapped its wings, and immediately charged towards Magikarp.
Knowing that it was building up its rage, the Infernape didn't dodge and let Pidgeotto hit it. Although Pidgeotto's Attack stat was lowered, it could still hurt Infernape. Infernape's rage was slowly increasing.
"Miro!"
After Pidgey attacked for the fifth time, Infernape couldn't hold back any longer. Enveloped in a sinister aura, Infernape angrily swung its fist, unleashing a massive Shadow Punch that struck Pidgey hard. However, the Shadow Punch didn't harm Pidgey; instead, it hit the tree behind Pidgey, causing it to snap instantly where it was struck.
"What a terrifying punch! Why is Pidgeotto unharmed?" Ash was stunned by the destructive power of the Angry Punch and was also puzzled as to why Pidgeotto was unharmed.
"That Furious Punch looks like a Ghost-type move. Normal-type Pokémon are immune to Ghost-type moves," Brock analyzed.
"So Ghost-type moves don't work on Normal-type Pokémon." This was the first time Ash had heard of this. He had challenged the Saffron City Gym before, but it took him three tries to succeed. He originally planned to catch a Ghost-type Pokémon, but he was told that all the Ghost-type Pokémon in the vicinity had been caught by the Saffron City Gym, so he gave up.
Ash and his friends even witnessed Gengar and his friends' comedic performance at the Goldenrod Gym.
"What is Gary doing? Rage Punch clearly doesn't hurt Pidgey, so why does he keep using it?" Misty asked, puzzled.
"Could it be that he's training the Rage Punch skill?" Ash guessed.
"There's no need for Pidgeotto to attack Magikarp," Brock said.
Ash and his friends couldn't understand what Gary was doing; it didn't seem like a sparring match or a skill training session.
"Miss Naz, do you know what Xiao Mao is doing?" Xiao Xia had no choice but to ask Naz, but she had obviously asked the wrong person.
"I don't know what Xiao Mao is doing either, just keep an eye on him," Naz said.
Everyone watched as Primeape kept unleashing Rage Punch. By the 12th Rage Punch, Primeape's eyes were bloodshot. Although they knew it was a test, every time it was attacked by Pidgeotto, Primeape's anger would rise.
"Looks like it's reached its limit of anger, only 5 more times." Gary kept counting how many times Primal Punch had been used.
"Miro!"
With a roar, the Fire Monkey unleashed a barrage of stone blades that appeared around its body as it charged toward the sky.
"Compare!"
Pidgey was shocked. Wasn't it supposed to be Rage Punch? Why did it suddenly change its move?
Fortunately, Pidgey is fast; if it had been hit by a sharp rock, it would have been seriously injured.
"Saria, have your Alakazam use a stun on Primeape," Gary immediately commanded.
"call!"
Alakazam, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately used a spell to freeze the Infernape, sealing away its Stone Attack.
"Groo-mi!"
The Infernape's eyes were completely red, clearly in a state of rage. When it saw Alakazam appear in front of it, it charged at it without saying a word, its right fist surrounded by a layer of white energy.
However, the Infernape's body was instantly bound by psychic powers.
"Greymon, what's wrong with Magma? Do we still want to continue?" Sabrina asked.
"It's okay, just let go of the Magna, dodge its attacks, and try to get it to use Rage Punch," Gary said.
"Alright, let Alakazam be Primeape's opponent. Alakazam, unleash your Psychic."
As soon as he finished speaking, Alakazam released his psychic powers, and Primeape angrily charged at Alakazam, but Alakazam vanished from its spot and dodged with Teleport.
Chapter 76: The Out-of-Control Fiery Monkey
"Groo-mi!"
When the Infernape saw Alakazam disappear, it didn't continue looking for Alakazam, but instead noticed Ash standing nearby.
Xiaozhi: ? ? ?
Ash felt a sense of unease. He had caught a Magmaa before and knew what kind of temperament it had, but he didn't expect Gary's Magmaa to be like this.
"Be careful, Primalnade is in a berserk state and will attack any creature in front of it. You all hide behind me," Gary said.
Without saying a word, Ash and his two friends immediately hid on Gary and Sabrina.
"Miro!"
The Infernape immediately turned its attention to Gary, its bloodshot eyes and bulging veins on its scalp revealing its fury.
"Infernape, remember to use Rage Punch," Gary reminded him.
"Miro!!"
The Infernape lost its mind and charged straight at Gary, unleashing a flying kick with the power of a million tons.
Whoosh!
Alakazam teleported in front of Ash, and a psychic barrier appeared in front of him.
Bah! !
The Reflector blocked Infernape's punch.
Then, the Infernape unleashed a series of cross slashes, causing the psychic barrier to tremble violently. In its enraged state, the Infernape had completely forgotten that this training was for its evolution.
"Xiao Mao, is it going to stay like this forever?" Nazie asked.
"That's enough for now. Just force Infernape to use Rage Punch. Sabrina, how long can you hold out?" Gary asked.
"I'm alright, but right now the Primeape is completely disobedient and its moves are completely random. It's probably just causing a ruckus right now," Sabrina said.
"Saria, can you use a stun spell to seal away Infernape's other moves?" Gary asked.
“Immobilization isn’t a superpower, I can’t do it,” Sabrina said.
Xiao Shio thought about it and realized that it made sense; the Immobilize move was a Normal-type move, not a Psychic-type move.
Baton!
However, one of Misty's Poké Balls opened, and Psyduck suddenly ran out.
"Why did you run out at this time?" Xiaoxia asked, exasperated.
Upon seeing Misty's Psyduck, Gary exclaimed in surprise, "Misty, your Psyduck might be able to use the Freeze spell!"
"Sara, you hypnotize Psyduck and let it use its immobilization spell to seal away Primeape's rampage," Ash said.
"it is good."
Sabrina's eyes flashed blue, and a burst of Nen power erupted, repelling Infernape.
"Blastoise!"
Shigeru also released Blastoise.
Sabrina approached Psyduck, lifted Psyduck's head, and stared into Psyduck's eyes.
"Gurgle...!"
The hypnotic wave spreads, and Psyduck instantly enters a hypnotic state.
boom! !
At this moment, Blastoise used its body to block the attack from Magmamon. Fortunately, it used Feather Dance to lower Magmamon's Attack stat, otherwise Blastoise would not have been able to withstand Magmamon's attack.
"Xiaoxia, you take charge of Psyduck," Sabrina said.
"Okay, Psyduck, use Freeze on Primeape," Misty immediately commanded.
"Gulp!"
Psyduck walked to the side, stretched out its palms, and a magical energy spread out in ripples, instantly freezing the Infernape that was attacking Blastoise.
But the next second, a dark, shadowy aura spread out, and Infernape threw a punch, the Fist of Fury, which knocked Blastoise back several meters.
"Kami!"
Wartortle was shocked, never expecting that Magma's Angry Punch would have such terrifying power.
