Chapter 351 Burning, Super Flame! The Desperate Inferno Monkey!!
Infernape's performance on the field once again refreshed everyone's understanding of Ash and his Pokémon.
Among the audience are many people who know Ash very well. They know the wonders of Ash and his Pokémon. Rather than saying that Ash's Pokémon are eccentric, it would be more accurate to say that Ash himself is the biggest eccentric.
The reason his Pokémon are so overpowered is entirely because of him, the overpowered trainer. What other trainer can make their Pokémon fight against someone a level higher than them?
Which trainer can make their Pokémon beat Elite Four level Pokémon in its initial form?
Such achievements and skills obviously have nothing to do with the Pokémon's talent; it all depends on the trainer. In fact, the reason why Ash's Pokémon improved so quickly is likely due to Ash himself, rather than the fact that the Pokémon Ash caught had high talent.
A bizarre Pokémon paired with a bizarre trainer—the result is—a monster!
On the field, as Electabuzz fell to the ground, Yuuji's pupils contracted and his fists clenched. Undoubtedly, the situation on the field had once again exceeded his expectations. In the clash between Thunder Fist and Sonic Fist, Thunder Fist had actually fallen into a disadvantageous position and was even shattered by the opponent finding an opening.
Thunder Punch is about twice as powerful as Sonic Punch, and Electivire's strength is at a high level in the gym. Even though Yuuji felt that the opponent's strength was more than just the level on the surface, he never expected that Electivire would lose to him in a head-on confrontation.
You could say that Electivire isn't a Pokémon that focuses on strength, but its most outstanding feature is its attack power!
Given his superior skill power and level, he simply couldn't understand why Infernape could defeat Electivire head-on.
"Well done, Infernape! Press your advantage and use Fire Punch!" With Electivire now lying on the ground, Ash was clearly not going to let this opportunity slip by. He decisively issued the command, instructing Infernape to press its advantage and attack the opponent.
The blazing flames burned on Infernape's fist, and the crimson flames raised the temperature of the entire arena several degrees. The next second, Infernape shot out like an arrow, and the flames on its fists dragged a long arc of fire through the air!
"Electrify, use Protect!"
"Metoo!" The electric monster lying on the ground raised its hands, and a green barrier appeared in front of it, protecting it firmly inside.
In the blink of an eye, Infernape rushed to the barrier and slammed its flaming fist into the emerald green Protector Barrier!
"boom!!!"
The deafening crash echoed throughout the arena as crimson flames clashed fiercely with the emerald green barrier, sending countless sparks flying like shattered jade. The temperature of the arena instantly soared to its peak.
However, although the barrier trembled slightly from the fire punch, it held firm and showed no signs of breaking.
The next second, the barrier suddenly erupted with a counter-force, forcefully repelling the flames on Infernape's fist. The intense heat was instantly dissipated by most of the flames, and Infernape was also knocked back by the recoil, staggering as it steadied itself, and the remaining flames on its fist gradually died down.
The skill "Guard" is still incredibly powerful. At the same level, apart from some special barrier-crossing skills, almost no other skill can shake "Guard" in the slightest.
"Now! Electrify the monster, use Thunderbolt!" Yuji seized the fleeting opening, his voice cold and decisive.
"Meow!" The Electabuzz leaped up from the ground, its previously languid body instantly bursting with powerful electricity. Golden lightning coiled around its limbs and torso as if it were alive, and the air around it rippled slightly due to the intense current.
The next instant, an extremely dazzling golden current burst forth from Electivire's body. The current, like a raging river, shot towards Infernape, which had not yet fully regained its footing, with a piercing "sizzling" sound!
The Infernape was caught in the recoil and had no time to react. It could only watch helplessly as the golden electricity instantly engulfed its body.
"Awooo!" The intense electric shock caused Infernape to let out a painful roar. Its body was firmly wrapped in electricity, its limbs stiffened uncontrollably, its fur stood on end due to the shock, and golden currents flashed across its body surface. Its body involuntarily fell backward and crashed heavily to the ground, its originally fiery aura instantly weakening.
Xiao Zhi frowned slightly and bent his body slightly, almost kneeling on the ground, but in the end he only bent his body a little and then stood up again.
Aura Fusion allows him to feel the damage that Pokémon suffers, but this level of damage is nothing to him. However, Infernape, on the other hand, takes the hit from Electivire, which immediately reduces its HP to zero.
Despite the fact that Aura Fusion allows Infernape to unleash power at a high level compared to a gym leader, it doesn't boost its stamina at all. In other words, Infernape still has the stamina of a high-level professional. After being hit by Electivire's Thunderbolt, Infernape's stamina, which is disproportionate to its strength, naturally plummeted to rock bottom.
But this might not be a bad thing for Infernape.
"Huff—huff—huff—ho-cha!!!" The Infernape, kneeling on the ground, was panting heavily as it slowly pushed itself up. Yuuji wanted Electivire to press its advantage, but a terrifying aura slowly emanated from the Infernape.
The command that was about to be uttered was abruptly stopped by this imposing manner.
"What's going on—what's this force?"
"BOOM!!!" In the next instant, Infernape put its hands on its waist, leaned back to support itself, and terrifying flames erupted from its body, filling the entire arena with astonishing heat!
A transparent shield stood between the audience and the stands, preventing the spectators from feeling like they were about to melt from the terrifying heat emanating from the Infernape.
The soft mud and sand on the ground where Infernape stood had been scorched red by the intense flames. Infernape's heat was like a small sun, as if it wanted to burn everything around it to ashes!
The terrifying flames caused Electivire to take two steps back. Compared to before, Infernape was now undoubtedly much more terrifying, and by a significant margin. If it were to be touched by those flames, it would probably be melted in an instant.
"Here it comes, Infernape's Super Blaze!" Misty waved her little fist excitedly.
"Super Blaze?" Serena was a little confused when she first heard the term. She knew about Blaze's properties, but what was Super Blaze?
"This is Ash's Infernape's unique ability, a supercharged version of Blaze. According to Ash's estimation, Mega Blaze's boost is twice as high as regular Blaze! That means regular Blaze only boosts the fire by 50%, but Mega Blaze boosts it by 100%!"
Upon hearing this, Serena's mouth gaped open, her pretty face filled with disbelief.
A 100% increase in the power of flames? Does such a bugged trait even exist in this world? If the power of flames is increased that much, then challenging opponents of higher levels would be as easy as eating and drinking, wouldn't it?
"In addition, Super Blaze can increase Infernape's Attack and Attack stats as well as its Speed, but it does not increase its Defense or Stamina. Squeezing out more power while keeping Stamina constant will undoubtedly cause Stamina to be consumed faster."
"In addition, Super Blaze requires your stamina to be below 30% to activate, which means that activating Super Blaze is essentially a race against time," Xiaoxia continued, explaining the drawbacks of Super Blaze.
While Super Fire is much more powerful than regular Fire, its drawbacks are also obvious. The trigger condition is that one's stamina must be in the "last gasp" stage, but triggering it will cause stamina to be consumed even faster. For the user, this is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
Therefore, once a super blaze appears, it is both a signal that Infernape's strength has reached its peak and its final swan song. "What terrifying flames! Is this the true strength of that Infernape? I've heard of it before, but this is the first time I've actually seen it. This kind of blaze is definitely on a completely different level from the blaze of ordinary Fire-type Pokémon." Yuji clenched his fists and murmured solemnly.
The initial thrill of having gained the upper hand has now vanished completely.
"The real battle is about to begin, Infernape, use Flare Blitz!!" Ash's usual routine allowed Infernape, whose stamina was dwindling, to use Flare Blitz while activating Mega Blaze.
Infernape obeyed Ash's command without hesitation. A deep blue aura surged from its body, instantly enveloping it. The intense heat almost pierced the sky, and the spreading heatwave caused Electivire in the distance to break out in a sweat that was hard to tell whether it was from cold or heat.
"Electrodemon, use Protect!!" Yuuji quickly commanded as he saw the opponent make a move.
Faced with Infernape in this state, he obviously couldn't let Electivire go head-to-head with it; that would be pure suicide.
Previously, Thunder Punch couldn't even beat Sonic Punch, so even if he used Thunder Punch now, he didn't think Electivire could block this Flame Charge.
Therefore, the best method is to use the same method as before: use the "Guard" to stop the opponent, and then seize the opponent's weakness when the opponent is impacted by the reaction force to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop!
In Pokémon battles, it's not just about who has the strongest attack power and the fastest speed; strategy is also a very important factor!
As Yuuji watched the emerald green barrier light up in front of Electabuzz, a smile crept onto his lips. He had won this battle!
"Boom!!" The Infernape, burning with a ghostly blue flame, charged in like a meteor and crashed hard into the seemingly weak barrier!
A shockwave, visible to the naked eye, spread out, and a violent wind made the clothes of the two men flutter wildly. The sand and dust gradually blinded everyone's eyes, and the clash on the field became unpredictable. However, one could still vaguely see that blue and green lights were shining on each other, with the blue light being more dazzling at the moment.
But soon, the blue light began to dim. Even amidst the sandstorm, Yuuji could clearly see that Infernape's Flare Charge was weakening. However, before Yuuji could even smile, the barrier in front of Electivire made a faint sound. The sound was drowned out by the violent impact, but the cracks on the barrier were clearly visible!
Infernape's Flare Strike even managed to shatter the Barrier!
This is supposedly an invincible defensive move among its peers. How could Infernape's attack power be this strong after activating Blaze?
However, in the end, the barrier was not completely shattered. The reaction force from the barrier sent Infernape flying, and the immense force caused Infernape to tumble and roll in the air.
Electabuzz was panting heavily, kneeling on the ground with one hand supporting his knee.
"Electric Beast, use Thunder!" Yuuji wasn't about to let such a golden opportunity slip by.
Infernape is completely unable to dodge in mid-air. If this Thunderstrike hits, the outcome will be decided!
"Infernape, Flame Wheel!" Ash remained calm and composed, giving the commands without the slightest panic.
"Ho-cha!" In the air, Infernape accelerated its roll, and a huge flame surged out of its body, instantly turning into a spinning blue flame wheel!
The high-speed rotation of the flame chariot stirred up the dust on the ground, and the dazzling blue flames suppressed the surrounding golden lightning!
At the same time, the Electrifying Beast had gathered all its electricity. The golden lightning no longer coiled around its body, but instead converged into an incredibly thick pillar of lightning that shot into the sky from its head, smashing towards the Flame Chariot with earth-shattering power!
"Boom—!" The thunder was deafening. Wherever the golden lightning bolt passed, the air was scorched and distorted, and the mud and sand on the ground were instantly electrocuted into charred powder. The domineering energy caused ripples to appear on the protective shield of the audience seats.
It was only then that the audience noticed that there had been a barrier protecting them all along. Some of the more observant viewers even thought, "The organizers are really thoughtful. If it weren't for this shield, they would probably be in excruciating pain from the residual electricity and flames."
The moment the blue flame chariot collided with the golden lightning pillar, the entire arena seemed to fall into a brief silence. The next second, a violent energy shockwave swept across the entire arena!
Golden lightning frantically devoured the blue flames, emitting a piercing "sizzle" sound, and countless fragments of electricity scattered like golden sparks. Meanwhile, Infernape's blue flames, enhanced by Superfire, grew even more intense, and the spinning power of its Flame Chariot continuously increased, forcefully pushing forward despite the impact of the lightning.
"Crack!" Amidst the continuous roar of the clash, a crisp sound exploded in the air, and the golden lightning shattered in mid-air, leaving only azure flames trailing down like a meteor!
"Boom!" The flames were reflected in the eyes of the electric monster, and then crashed into it with unprecedented force. In the blink of an eye, the entire area was covered by thick smoke, and no one could see the final result.
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Yuji lowered his raised hand, his gaze fixed on the arena. The black and yellow figure lay on the ground, while the figure with its head and tail flickering with intense flames stood upright. The outcome was decided!
