Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 192 Fierce Battle with Shimoda Taketo!

"Shimoda Taketo, a disciple of the Goldenrod City Fighting Dojo!"

"This is my partner, Intense Monkey!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Shimoda Taketo released the Inferno Monkey.

He made a karate starting stance at Qingyuan.

"Very well, you're the only one who accepted my challenge!"

Let me weigh you up!

"The Scorpion King is using acrobatics!"

After watching Shimoda Taketo's pretentious starting stance, Aohara shouted something rather childishly.

He then commanded the Scorpion King in the arena to launch an attack.

"Greek!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion King quickly took off, then gathered Flying-type energy and charged towards Infernape.

"In that case, Incineroar Monkey, we'll use acrobatics too!"

Looking at the Scorpion King in the air, whose entire body was glowing with a bright white light.

Shimoda Taketo roared and gave orders to Inferno Monkey.

"What?!"

Upon hearing Shimoda Taketo's words, Seigen looked completely bewildered.

"What's going on? This big-eyed, thick-browed, wingless guy, Inferno, can fly...fly...fly!"

Watching the fiery monkey, its entire body glowing with a bright white light, leap into the air and soar to a height of seven or eight meters.

Qingyuan shouted in shock.

Although he had traveled for so long, he had seen and experienced a lot.

For example, there are mosquito tadpoles that are afraid of water, and walking grass that is afraid of sunlight.

But this was the first time he had ever seen a flying Incineroar.

"Hmph, what's the big deal? My Inferno Monkey was already skilled in acrobatics back in its Monkey Monster days!"

Seeing the shocked expression on Qingyuan's face, Shimoda Taketo snorted twice and said with a smug look on his face.

"Well, a flying Inferno Monkey is indeed quite surprising!"

"But you're letting a Fighting-type Infernape use a Flying-type move to fight against a Flying-type Pokémon using a Flying-type move!"

"If I weren't forbidden from doing so, I would have smashed your head open to see if your brain was malfunctioning!"

Looking at Shimoda Taketo's smug face, Aohara said speechlessly.

This is a battle! Why aren't you fighting properly? What are you so smug about?

As Qingyuan finished speaking, the Scorpion King and Infernape in the air collided fiercely.

Without any suspense, Scorpion King slammed Infernape hard into the ground.

"boom!"

When the Infernape crashed to the ground at breakneck speed, it made a loud noise.

"Fiery Monkey!"

Upon seeing this, Shimoda Taketo immediately cried out in alarm.

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing Shimoda Taketo's words, Infernape waved its arms vigorously.

After waving away the dust in front of it, it barked at Shimoda Taketo to indicate that it was alright.

Although Scorpio King's acrobatic skills hurt him a bit.

However, when it was at the gym, it was often beaten up by the gym leader's Infernape with acrobatic skills.

In terms of sheer acrobatics, Scorpion King's skills are less than five-tenths as strong as the gym leader's fiery monkey.

How could I possibly get into trouble because of this? I really have more to worry about than anything else.

Seeing that Incineroar was alright, Taketo Shimoda, who had been filled with worry, breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Since acrobatics won't work, Infernape will use Rock Slide!"

After throwing two punches at the air in front of him, Taketo Shimoda, his fighting spirit rekindled, once again commanded Infernape to launch an attack.

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing Shimoda Taketo's words, Incineroar let out a loud shout.

Then, it clasped its hands together in front of it, and a rock the size of a basketball was instantly formed.

Looking at Scorpion King in the air, Infernape suddenly swung its hands out.

The rock shot towards the Scorpion King like a cannonball.

"Scorpion King charges forward and uses Crab Claw Hammer!"

Seeing the situation on the field, Qingyuan decisively gave instructions to Scorpion King.

He had commanded the Scorpion King to thrust at the half-man-high boulder that the Armored Rhinoceros had once.

You think you can make us avoid your sharp edge just because you're such a small pebble?

Impossible, impossible at all.

With the Poisonous Orb, the Scorpion King is invincible!

"Greek!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Scorpion King let out a shout.

Then, the right pincer quickly enveloped water-type energy and charged towards the Rock Slide launched by Infernape.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the Scorpion King smashed the flying rock to pieces with a single pincer strike.

Then, without slowing down, it charged towards Infernape.

"Incineroar uses Double Payback!"

Watching the rapidly advancing Scorpion King, Taketo Shimoda, his blood boiling, shouted at Infernape.

He was determined to get justice for Miss Joey, who had been mistreated.

How can I back down in front of so many people?

Upon hearing Shimoda Taketo's words, the fiery monkey, who was just about to run away and hide, was taken aback.

Then it immediately realized what was happening, and streams of fighting-type energy began to converge around it.

In just a moment, the fiery monkey, which had been white-furred, turned completely red.

"Pfft!"

Seeing the rapidly approaching Scorpion King, Infernape leaned forward slightly and assumed a horse stance.

"Greek!"

Seeing the fiery monkey preparing to take his crab claw hammer head-on, Scorpion King's face flashed with anger.

He then yelled and accelerated his charge towards Infernape.

"boom!"

With Scorpion King's deliberate acceleration, the two Pokémon soon collided.

Sometimes you have to admit that training your resilience from a young age is indeed helpful.

Facing the Scorpion King's attack, he used all his strength and borrowed the force to accelerate the Crab Claw Hammer.

This Incineroar hasn't lost his fighting ability yet.

Qingyuan was completely stunned when he saw it.

He originally thought that Charizard, which could stack three layers of poison buff, was already very tanky.

I never expected that Infernape would be even more ferocious than Charizard.

He truly deserves to be called a fierce fighter who came from a fighting dojo.

"Scorpion King, use Protect!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the moment they saw that Infernape had not lost its ability to fight.

Qingyuan then directly commanded Scorpion King to hand over the Guard.

"boom!"

No sooner had Qingyuan finished speaking than a tremendous roar resounded.

The sound made Qingyuan's ears ring.

However, Qingyuan paid no attention to the tinnitus and instead quickly looked towards the arena.

A large crater was blasted out within a three-meter radius of the Scorpion King.

If Qingyuan hadn't managed to get Scorpion King to use its defensive ability in time, they probably would have been killed in that attack.

Scorpion King has already lost its ability to fight.

Although the Poison Healing Scorpion King's endurance is indeed very strong.

But that's about battery life; what if it gets instantly destroyed?

Then there would be no need for any follow-up flights.

"Click-clack!"

Looking at the shattered pale green protective shield around him, Scorpion King was also shocked.

I never expected that such a small body as Incineroar could unleash such great power.

This truly shocked the Scorpion King!
