Chapter 243 Chigusa's "Chi" is a debt
"Now, Genzo, the leader of the Genzo School, will face off against challenger Shirou in a one-on-one duel. There is no time limit; the match officially begins!"
With the referee's signal, the blue-haired Shirou promptly took out his Pokémon.
"Go, Flying Kick Guy!"
A Pokémon with a round head, brown body, and no mouth appeared on the battlefield, its sharp eyes making it look intimidating.
"Hmm, this Hitmonlee has a very good muscle shape." Ash gave Shirou's Hitmonlee an excellent evaluation with his professional eye.
The fact that the opponent was able to defeat nine dojos in a short period of time and gain widespread fame shows that they possess considerable strength.
Now it's up to Genzo to decide how to deal with it. Ash is also very curious about how strong the old man really is.
Then he watched as the old man, Genzo, first performed a series of flashy and fancy martial arts moves, then threw a Poké Ball with a stylish sideways movement, and finally managed to strain his back.
"Ouch, why did I have to strain my back at this time!"
"If you know you're not feeling well, you shouldn't do such complicated movements!" It's ironic that Xiao Zhi still had some expectations for him.
It seems that Chigusa's preference for a dance-like fighting style is a family trait.
Even the powerful force that Genzo unleashed was a series of muscle-flexing moves followed by a sudden exertion that resulted in him straining his back.
Seeing Genzo and his Pokémon kneeling on the ground, clutching their backs and groaning in unison, even Shirou on the other side couldn't help but break down.
"This is the most prestigious martial arts school in the Johto region—" I wonder if I've come to the wrong place.
"Grandpa, let me go!"
"No, you can't beat him!"
"How will you know it won't work if you don't try!"
But seeing Chigusa's stubborn expression, Genzo still hesitated.
"I don't care, as long as I use my brand name as a wager against anyone."
Although it's a bit of a pity that he can't fight the leader of the Genzo-ryu school, Shirou still values his goal in coming here more.
There's no other way.
The battle has restarted, but it has now become a battle between Chigusa and Shirou.
Out of respect for the top of Brawler's head, Ash secretly bet on it to win.
"Flying Kick Man uses a spinning kick!"
"A weak and feeble kick! Show him what a beautiful whirlwind kick is!"
In terms of speed, Shirou's Flying Kick is superior.
He launched a side kick first, but Zhanwulang immediately defended against the opponent's fierce attack with a beautiful standard stance.
He immediately launched a counterattack, delivering a series of whirlwind kicks to the opponent.
This forced Flying Kick Man to retreat and defend with his arms tucked into his chest.
"Your strength is quite impressive." Upon seeing this, Shirou immediately instructed Hitmonlee to be on guard.
"What a beautiful move! Miss Chigusa is very strong."
In Xiaoxia's view, Senburou's continuous whip kicks forced Feituirou to retreat step by step, clearly indicating that Chigusa had the upper hand.
But Ash and Genzo shook their heads repeatedly.
"No, Chigusa and Senburou's movements are too perfect; this isn't a performance."
A fight isn't about who makes the most precise and beautiful moves to determine who wins.
As expected, Hitmonchan's continuous whirlwind kicks were all perfectly defended by Hitmonchan, causing no damage at all.
"Senburou, high-speed spin!" Chigusa couldn't hold back and recklessly launched the first attack.
Zhanwulang immediately did a side somersault, spinning on the ground like a top with the tip of his head.
And it quickly approaches the other party; it must be said that its rotation is indeed both smooth and beautiful.
"What a beautiful spin! Senburou, now's your time for a triple kick!"
But Shirou on the other side showed no sign of panic.
"Flying Kick, defend! If this hits your spirit, the next attack will come from the left."
The first strike of the triple kick missed its target.
"Left, right!"
All of Zhanbulang's attacks were easily neutralized by his opponent, as if every step was within his opponent's expectations.
"How could this be—"
"The Flying Kick uses a low kick to disrupt its balance."
While Chigusa was in a panic, Shirou astutely seized the opportunity.
With a sweeping kick, Flying Kick Lang struck the very tip of War Dancer's head, forcibly stopping its spin and causing it to fall to the ground.
"Flying Kick Man, use your Flying Knee Strike!"
Before Zhanwulang could even lie down properly for a moment, he was immediately sent flying by a flying knee strike.
"Hold on, Zhanwulang, quickly resume high-speed spinning."
But Chigusa had clearly lost her composure, and Shirou on the other side seized the opportunity to "use a kick to send her flying!"
Before Zhanwulang even landed, he was immediately kicked away by his opponent again.
"It seems it's time to settle this." Shirou smiled confidently, seeing that the time was ripe.
"Flying Kick delivers the final blow!"
Just as Chigusa was about to be defeated, a cloud of black smoke suddenly appeared from the sky.
A large net suddenly emerged from the smoke, catching Zhanwulang and Feituilang on the battlefield.
"Who is it?"
Everyone present immediately looked up at the sky in surprise.
Surprisingly, it was Kojiro and Musashi who hadn't been seen in a long time and were up to their mischief again, along with the iconic Meow Meow hot air balloon.
The trio changed back into their original white Rockets uniforms.
"Since you have asked so sincerely..."
"Then I will mercifully tell you!"
"To prevent the world from being destroyed!"
"Musashi!"
"Kojiro!"
"Say that's it!"
"That's it, meow!"
"Oh my god, how long has it been since we said that opening line?" Kojiro almost cried.
"Yes, I miss it so much. It's really comforting to talk about it like this every now and then."
Musashi felt his skin stretch out, even though Wobbuffet was being disobedient and had run out to interrupt the opening remarks.
Ever since their capitalist manifesto, which they had painstakingly devised, was rejected by Xiaozhi, they have never properly delivered their standard opening remarks again.
Amado and Kosaburo stole all the screen time.
As soon as they finished speaking, the trio immediately hugged each other and jumped around in celebration.
"Team Rocket, what exactly are you trying to do?" Ash was the first to step forward and question them.
The reason the trio is here is, of course, because Ash summoned them.
When Ash saw Genzo strain his back as soon as he appeared, he realized something was wrong.
He's just here to freeload. If the Genzo-ryu Dojo loses its reputation today, how can Genzo be in the mood to treat everyone to a big meal tonight?
In order to protect his dinner tonight and to be able to eat and drink for free, Ash secretly snapped his fingers before Chigusa went on the field, summoning James and the others outside the gym.
He also sent them a message, telling the trio to be ready in the air at all times, and to quickly interrupt the battle if Chigusa was about to lose.
In short, we cannot allow the reputation of Genzo-ryu to be stolen today.
Anyway, no one can stop Ash from eating and drinking for free!
Kojiro and his friends' performance was also very realistic, after all, they were the real Team Rocket, even though they had reformed a long time ago.
But all those past experiences have long been ingrained in their genes, like instinct.
Musashi immediately let out the standard villainous laugh.
"No need to ask the brat, of course we're going to steal all these Pokémon!"
"What?! You damn Team Rocket, give my Hitmonlee back!"
Since the Johto region was indeed a place where Team Rocket ran rampant, Shirou had no doubts, but looked worriedly at Hitmonchan who had been captured.
"Haha, impossible! Go, Arbok! Use Poison Needle!"
"You too, use Double Gas and keep using Black Mist!"
Taking advantage of the black fog obscuring everyone's vision, they used poison needles to stop the pursuers and escape quickly, as skillfully as ever.
Of course, Ash wouldn't actually let them take Chigusa and Shirou's Pokémon away; it was just a performance.
"Pikachu, Iron Tail!"
Immediately, Pikachu used Iron Tail to break the net, and then a Thunderbolt blast sent Kojiro and the others flying.
The trio became shooting stars once again after a long time.
"This feeling is awful!" X3
Ash deliberately didn't let Pikachu hold back during the attack, and shocked both Hitmonlee and Hinafuro below with electricity.
Unfortunately, because Ash himself called Team Rocket over to do bad things, the reward for doing a good deed was not successfully calculated.
But because of the Rockets' sudden appearance, the game can no longer proceed.
"The Pokémon are all injured, so we'll just have to schedule another challenge next time."
"Don't worry, we won't run away."
"Farewell." Shirou politely bowed to Genzo and left immediately.
Although he left, the atmosphere inside the dojo did not become any more relaxed.
That evening, Genzo treated Ash to a sumptuous meal as promised, but after sitting down, Genzo simply crossed his arms and closed his eyes to rest, while Chigusa remained silent.
Even Xiaoxia sensed something was wrong and sat quietly to the side, while Xiaozhi was frantically eating at the table.
"You lost, Chigusa." Genzo finally couldn't help but speak.
"No, I was preparing to counterattack when Senburou fell to the ground."
"You idiot, you were doomed the moment your opponent unleashed a flying knee strike!"
This time, Genzo's face didn't have the playful expression he had before; instead, it was very serious.
"Ash, could you please teach my granddaughter how to fight properly?"
"Why should I let a stranger teach me? No way!"
Chigusa is now a teacher who has taught many students in the dojo, so she naturally resists being taught by someone her own age.
But Genzo wouldn't indulge her as usual anymore; he glared at Chigusa and sent her flying back.
Ash, who was wolfing down his food at the table, looked up at Chigusa across from him, who had a defiant look on her face.
Xiao Zhi thought for a moment, "How should I teach this talkative little girl a lesson?"
"No problem, but I won't hold back in a fight. Can she handle it?"
Upon hearing what Xiaozhi said, Chigusa immediately stood up.
"What?! How dare you look down on me? Come out and fight me right now!"
After receiving treatment, Zhan Wulang had recovered his strength. Chigusa pushed aside the servant next to her and stormed out.
"I'm sorry that the child's parents passed away early, and I spoiled her too much in the past." Genzo apologized to Satoshi and then helped the servant who had been pushed up to go and rest.
The group then returned to the battlefield from the morning, where Chigusa was already dressed in her battle suit and waiting with Senburou.
Ash meant no mercy when he said he wouldn't hold back, immediately sending out Urshifu as soon as he entered the arena.
Martial arts master Xiong made his entrance with a set of fierce punches, and immediately assumed a horse stance, ready to strike. He made a great entrance right from the start.
"I'll let you have the first strike, Chigusa."
Genzo nodded repeatedly, as this was exactly the effect he and Goryeo had wanted this morning.
"Little—Little Chigusa, don't call me that!"
Upon hearing the loud whooshing sound of Martial Arts Master Xiong's punches, Chigusa immediately realized that her opponent was very strong.
But her pride wouldn't allow her to show weakness, so she could only continue to be stubborn.
"Hmph, all show and no substance, I won't lose!"
"Spin at high speed, immediately go over and use the triple kick!" Although Chigusa was habitually stubborn, she still learned a lesson from the battle this morning.
Instead of focusing too much on whether the posture was standard during high-speed spinning, the focus was on seizing the opportunity to strike first and allowing the War Dancer to successfully deal effective damage.
Unfortunately, she was facing Ash, and this improvement was far from enough.
"Dark Strike".
As Zhanwulang's fierce attacks drew ever closer, Martial Arts Bear Master remained motionless.
It only opened its eyes abruptly and unleashed a punch like a cannonball just as the opponent's three consecutive kicks were about to touch its body.
The powerful force of the punch caused the leaves in the courtyard to rustle, and Zhan Wulang was instantly sent flying, crashing into the wall of the battlefield and completely unconscious.
Everyone present was stunned, even the referee stared wide-eyed at the hole in the wall that Zhanbulang had punched.
It was only after Xiaoxia reminded them that they finally realized what was happening and immediately raised the flag.
"Hibashi is unable to battle, Ash wins!"
"What?! Just one hit and it was done—!"
This overwhelming difference in strength left Chigusa with no way to keep up her stubbornness.
This morning, my match against Shirou was fairly even, but I ended up losing because I was careless and didn't dodge.
But his battle with Ash ended with just one punch.
"The skill gap is too large."
Seeing Chigusa kneeling on the ground with a somewhat broken Dao heart, Genzo thought it was time.
"Ash will be coming back to challenge you in three days. Could you please be Chigusa's tutor during this time?"
"Back then, she looked down on me for being an old man who couldn't keep up with the times. Now, I'm letting you, who can easily defeat her, teach me. I believe Chigusa can learn even more from you."
"Of course, you don't need to worry about the rewards. Genzo School is a prestigious school with a long history, and you'll be satisfied with both money and Pokémon items."
"Ah, but I'm planning to head to Ecruteak City to challenge the gym as soon as possible tomorrow."
Although Ash wanted to earn some extra money, the gym was still more important to him.
"You don't need to worry about that. The Ecruteak Gym Leader, Komatsu, is on a business trip to the League headquarters. Even if you go to Ecruteak City within the next two weeks, you won't be able to see him."
"Ash, the Genzo School is a famous martial arts school. Many martial arts schools in the Johto League come from this gym. I heard that even Elite Four member Shiba once trained here."
At this moment, Xiaoxia finally dug out the "City Guide that my sister gave me," which she hadn't taken out for a long time, and found the introduction to the Genzory school in it.
"It would be very beneficial to have a good relationship with them."
Since Xiaoxia has said so, Xiaozhi doesn't mind teaching her for three days.
Moreover, Chigusa seems to have a somewhat argumentative personality, so educating her would probably be quite fun.
"Okay, I agree."
"Chigusa, you'll still be facing Warrior Lang in three days. I hope you won't have to use the Genzo-ryu signature move again then."
"Yes." Chigusa could also tell that her grandfather wanted to train her.
Having been defeated by Ash, she had no choice but to agree.
Seeing that Chigusa had finally become a little more sensible, Genzo left first.
He decided to investigate who this Shirou was.
"Who dared to challenge the Genzory Dojo like this? Who could possibly be behind it?"
Meanwhile, in the forest not far from the Genzo Dojo, a girl wearing tight-fitting sportswear was lost.
"Super Strength, haven't we already been here once?"
"Strange~"
This is not just once; in Guai Li's memory, it's the third time.
But the girl's aloof and pretty face showed no sign of panic.
"Well, it would be better to contact the reception staff at Genzory School first, but after all, it was my own fault for being late —"
"Let's put in more effort with our super strength and try to reach Genzo Gym tonight."
"Strange~~"
