Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

After Lip's explanation, Xiaozhi and the others finally understood why the power of the "Cross Shears" used by Aledo was so great that even the black iron ring on Infernape's wrist was hit by it and left fine lines.

"I see, it has the bonus of its "sharp" characteristic! How many cutting moves did Ms. Lip mention? How many are there?"

Just as Xiaozhi was muttering to himself, he heard Lip's voice giving orders again.

"How about this move? Aledo, use "Psychic Blade"!"

After receiving the order, Aledo raised his two blade arms, and a dark purple aura emanated from his body, wrapping around his arms to form two even larger virtual blades.

Then, Alakazam swung the aura on the blade left and right, transforming it into two materialized heart blades that flew towards Infernape.

Xiaozhi also responded immediately and ordered a counterattack.

"Infernape, use "Brick Break"!"

Infernape immediately gathered the powerful aura on his right palm, and swung his hand knife down violently, attacking the oncoming "Spirit Blade" attack.

After the attack between the two sides, a small area of ​​white smoke was raised, covering Infernape. Then, Aledo's second "Psychic Blade" rushed out and shot into the white smoke.

In the dim light, I only saw Infernape launching a "tile-splitting" attack. After facing the second flying blade attack, he raised his hand knife and blocked the second attack vertically.

However, Infernape's second attempt to block the "Tile Splitting" attack was not able to completely block the attack, and Ash and the others saw Infernape being knocked away by the oncoming attack in the mist created by the first attack.

"Fire Monkey!"

“Hot…”

Xiaozhi's worried voice was heard, and Infernape fell to the ground. Lip on the opposite side laughed.

"You can't resist it? It seems that your Infernape, Xiaozhi, has reached its limit after a fierce battle with the Super-Erotic Ostrich!"

Facing Lip's sigh, Ash and Pikachu continued to encourage Infernape.

"Infernape, are you okay? Come on, stand up..."

"Pika pika!"

Encouraged by Xiaozhi and the others, Infernape shook his body and slowly stood up again, with a steaming breath of anger emanating from his body. Xiaoqing and Papper beside him said happily.

"Here it comes, this is Infernape's characteristic, the "Anger Point"!"

Ash grasped at a life-saving straw as he watched Infernape fly into a rage when being hit in the vitals, and its attack power became maximum, thus enabling it to fight against Elrod.

Xiaozhi immediately ordered.

"Great, Infernape, use Mega Kick!"

Infernape's face turned red due to anger, and the "cross" veins on his forehead became more conspicuous. After snorting, Infernape ran towards his opponent, and when he got close to Elrod, he jumped high and kicked away with great force.

Faced with the crisis, Lip ordered a counterattack.

"Aledo, use Leaf Blade!"

In an instant, a series of flying leaves shot out from between Aledo's arms. He manipulated the leaves like a sword and swung them to cut at the body of the Infernape that was coming towards him.

“Hot!”

After being attacked by a cutting move again, Infernape let out a wail, and then, due to the activation of its own "Anger Point" feature, it withstood the opponent's painful attack and kicked the "Million Ton Kick" towards Elrod.

"Ledo..."

This time, after being severely injured, Eledo fell heavily backwards. Lip asked Eledo worriedly.

"Aledo, are you okay?"

After getting up, Aledo was panting heavily and raised his hand to cover his chest, which was aching after being hit hard by Infernape.

Lip and Aledo on the opposite side looked at Infernape, who had already fallen to the ground. Although Infernape had the upper hand in the last round, the situation was not optimistic because of its own severe damage and the injuries from Aledo's "Leaf Blade".

Lip, who didn't dare to act rashly, ordered Aledo to launch a long-range attack.

"Aledo, Infernape is already very weak, let's defeat it with ranged attacks! Use "Psychic Blade" once again!"

Aledo closed his eyes and meditated, and the dark purple light gathered on his arms gradually transformed into two materialized heart blades.

Xiaozhi said to Infernape in this regard.

"Inferno, how are you?"

In response to Xiaozhi's question, Infernape remained angry, and his rage was ignited again. After indicating that he was fine, Xiaozhi nodded and said.

"That's it, Infernape! Stay angry, we haven't completely lost yet... Let's use ranged attacks too, use "Fist of Fury"!"

A steaming rage emerged from Infernape's body, gathered on his right fist, and transformed the rage into power to attack.

The skills of the Pokémon of both sides clashed again. Aledo swung out two "Psychic Blades" on his left and right arms, and Infernape also used his fists to attack with "Fists of Fury".

The dark purple flying blades clashed with the dark gray waves on the battlefield. After the attacks of both sides collided violently, the explosions canceled each other out.

Before Ash and Infernape could recover, they heard Lip's order again.

"Aledo, use Close Combat!"

As soon as Lip finished speaking, Elrod's figure had crossed most of the battlefield and suddenly appeared in front of Infernape. After emitting a strong aura from its body, it rushed into Infernape's arms and attacked, and the opponent's punches and kicks fell like raindrops.

"Hot! Hot!"

The severely injured Infernape was retreating step by step, and Xiaozhi's anxious voice sounded beside Infernape's ears.

"Hold on, Infernape..."

Infernape clenched his fists and tried to withstand the opponent's attacks. His body was twitched left and right by his opponent's attacks, and the black iron rings on his limbs made tiny cracking sounds.

Although Aledo's attacks were swift, due to the bonus of Infernape's "Anger Points" characteristic, Infernape, which was constantly attacked in its vitals, had its anger value filled up again, and the angry red color all over its body gradually turned into dark gray.

Wait until Xiaozhi's voice of giving orders was heard.

"...Infernape, use "Fist of Fury"!"

Infernape clenched his fists, and as the number of times he was attacked before increased, the power of his moves became higher. He then transformed his anger into a powerful attack, and punched directly towards Aledo's body with a "Fist of Fury"!

Since the "close combat" attack used by Aledo was to give up guarding and charge into Infernape's arms, Infernape was able to hit Aledo solidly without any effort, and after being knocked away, it fell heavily to the ground.

At the same time, Infernape was also hit by Aledo's powerful "close combat" attack, and also flew backwards and fell to the ground.

Everyone first looked at the face of Aledo, who was sent flying further, and saw that his eyes had turned into "mosquito coils" and he had lost his ability to fight. This was because the powerful "close combat" attack damage was in exchange for lower defense and special defense, so he was knocked down by Infernape's attack.

Then the referee announced.

"Aledo has lost its ability to fight, and Ms. Lip still has one Pokémon left to fight..."

Just as Xiaozhi and Pikachu were happy that they finally defeated their rival and cheered towards Infernape.

"Great, Infernape! You finally defeated Aledo..."

However, there was no response from Infernape. He was seen lying on the ground on his back with his eyes looking like mosquito coils, and he had lost his ability to fight.

The referee also continued to announce.

"Infernape has lost its ability to fight, and challenger Ash still has one Pokémon left to fight, so the battle continues!"

Xiaoqing and the others nearby were happy for Xiaozhi, but then they regained their composure.

"Great! We finally defeated Aledo. Ms. Lip only has one Pokémon left..."

"Oh no! Infernape has also lost its ability to fight, so both of them only have one Pokémon left to fight! It's a pity, but Infernape has persisted for so long, it's really hard for it... As expected of Ash's former companion, it's really strong!"

After seeing Infernape lose its ability to fight, Xiaozhi felt distressed but also admired Lip's Elrod.

"Ms. Lip's Aledo is really strong. With its "Sharp" characteristic, it strengthens the power of its cutting moves. It actually has three cutting moves. The last one is not a cutting move, but a "close combat" with huge damage. It is really a warrior born for battle."

"If Infernape hadn't been attacked in the vitals, and hadn't activated its characteristic, 'Anger Point', to go one-for-one, Infernape, who was already injured, would definitely not have been able to defeat his opponent. This is the best result Infernape can achieve."

From time to time, trainers on both sides would retrieve their respective Pokémon that had lost their ability to fight.

Two red lights flashed, and Lip thanked the Poké Ball containing Elrod, then took out the fourth Poké Ball.

Xiaozhi also thanked the Poké Ball containing Infernape.

"Thank you, Infernape! Thanks to your help, we have defeated Ms. Lip's two strongest enemies. Now it's up to Pikachu to win the "Baking Gym" victory."

After Xiaozhi put the Poké Ball containing Infernape back to his waist, Lip said to Xiaozhi.

"Not bad, Xiaozhi, your Infernape not only defeated my Psychic Ostrich's "Acceleration", but in the battle just now, Infernape's "Fist" and Aledo's "Sharp" "Blade" both suffered damage. You did a good job... But the last trump card I will send out next will not be so easy to deal with!"

Combining the experience of previous gym challenges, Xiaozhi guessed in his heart that the gym leader would definitely send out an "ace" Pokémon with different attributes from his own gym to catch the challengers off guard.

"The Baking Gym is a Psychic Gym, and Ms. Lip is a trainer who is proficient in Psychic. So what kind of attribute is her trump card Pokémon, and which Pokémon is it?"

Xiaozhi summoned the last remaining Pokémon and said.

"Pikachu, the rest of the battle is up to you!"

"Pickup!"

After Pikachu shouted firmly, he stepped onto the battlefield he hadn't seen for a long time. Electricity flowed from his cheeks, and he looked at Lip opposite him with a face full of fighting spirit.

Lip said as she threw the Poké Ball high in her hand.

"This is my last trump card. The rest of the victory depends on you!"

A red light flashed, and a Pokémon appeared. Its lower half had a stem-like structure that made up its slender body, and its head looked like a flower with a red floral decoration.

As its body slowly floated after landing, its white head lowered from the red flowers and raised, its green eyelids like leaves lifted, revealing bright eyes. Xiaozhi and his friends also recognized this Pokémon as Lady Flower Clean. The moment Lady Flower Clean appeared, a refreshing fragrance filled the air, and this fragrance made all the high-end perfumes pale in comparison.

Huangbo in the audience couldn't help but encourage Xiaozhi.

"Come on, Xiaozhi! Let Lip suffer..."

"I understand, Mr. Huangbo!"

Lip didn't care about the deep relationship between Satoshi and Hobo as master and disciple. She just felt that Satoshi's name sounded familiar when she heard it before, as if she had heard it somewhere... until Pikachu appeared, which made Lip more certain that she had really seen Satoshi and Pikachu before, but she just couldn't remember it for a while.

Lip said frantically after shaking her head.

"Forget it! I can't remember it, so I don't want to think about it anymore... Madam Huajie, use "Falling Petals" on Pikachu!"

Madam Hua Jie spread her arms and shook her body, and the petals and fallen leaves on her body fell off. At the same time, a fierce hurricane was set off, blowing all the fallen petals and leaves towards Pikachu.

Facing the falling petals like flying snow, Xiaozhi could only give orders to Pikachu.

"Pikachu, use "Lightning Flash"! "

The electricity in Pikachu's body instantly ran wild, and after turning into a flash of light, it pounced towards Madam Huajie at lightning speed. As it moved forward, no matter where the opponent's "Falling Petals" attack came from, Pikachu could dodge it with its agile movements.

Lip shouted in surprise.

"What! How could it be... so fast!"

The speed of "Lightning Flash" used by Pikachu at this time is almost the same as the speed of Super Ostrich before.

After a while, Pikachu's body, which was emitting electricity, had already arrived in front of Madam Huajie, just a stone's throw away... After Lip came to her senses, she reminded Madam Huajie.

"Be careful, Madam Hua Jie! Get out of the way..."

After getting Lip's reminder, the leaves on the lower part of Madam Huajie's body, which were similar to the stem and leaf structure, swayed with the wind pressure generated by the approaching Pikachu. Madam Huajie also followed the natural flow of leaves blowing in the wind and avoided Pikachu's attack.

Although Mrs. Huajie dodged Pikachu's attack, a small part of her body was still scratched by Pikachu's attack that passed by her. Lip then realized that a fierce battle was inevitable.
