32.68% Pokemon: Bond Evolutions of Pokémon / Chapter 98: 98. The Laps

Chapter 98: 98. The Laps

It only took one morning to take a boat from Olivine City to Cianwood City.

Because the boat was relatively fast, Ash did not let Lapras out to swim with the group.

The first thing to do when they reached Cianwood City is, of course, go to Cianwood Pharmacy to get Ampharos' Secret Medicine.

"Here you go, this is the medicine you ordered!" The pharmacy owner handed the Secret Medicine to Janina personally.

Janina had to hurry up and catch the next boat back to Olivine City. If she is able to catch it on time, she could return back to Olivine City before evening, so that Ampharos could recover as soon as possible.

"Then we'll say goodbye here for now!" Misty said a little sadly. After a little while, she started to like this little girl.

Traveling is the process of constant encounters, constant separations, and constant reunions.

"After we get the Storm Badge at Cianwood Gym, we will go back to challenge Jasmine!" Ash said to her.

"It was fun to battle against you and your Onix. Can we battle against each other once again in the future, Janina?" Molly held Janina's hand and smiled. She and Janina had become good friends after their battles and now they are sad to see each other go the other way.

"Okay, it will be one-on-one", Molly, I won't lose to you next time!" She felt a little embarrassed to lose to someone her age despite being trained by a Gym Leader, then she looked at Ash, "Then I'll leave for now, good luck Ash!"

After bidding farewell to Janina, Ash and his group were about to go to Cianwood Gym when they heard some sounds coming from the beach area.

Curiously, they turned around and saw a burly middle aged man fighting with a Machoke, hand to hand!

Ash can also fight with Pokémon but the one's weaker than his own Pokémon's, the stronger ones requires the Pokémon to bring and item like Macho Brace, which restricts movement and restricts the use of certain skills.

Ash wondered how strong must this guy be to fight against Fighting-type Pokémon with bare hands?

The uncle flew up his leg with a strong and quick kick, but Machoke was easily able to dodge it. The two separated and he said, "Your fighting skills have improved a lot, Machoke!"

Hearing this, Ash nodded a little.

Yes, the training for Fighting-type Pokémon like Machoke is different from other Pokémon.

This is also the reason why Ash is willing to keep Scizor in that Jujutsu/Ninjitsu Academy. On the one hand, Scizor wants to learn it himself, but more importantly, he can exercise his power in a way that Ash couldn't teach.

It has all the qualities such as speed, but he cannot give it more professional skills that require experience.

And a Ninja's fighting type skills are perfect for Scizor!

The same is true for Fighting-type Pokémon like Machoke. It can exercise its body on its own, making its whole body is full of muscles, but the fighting skills cannot be understood by oneself.

If a physically strong Machoke who has never learned these things is to fight a physically weaker Machoke, it will most likely be the weaker Machoke that wins because of the technique and experience it has over the other one.

This is the importance of a Trainer, to be able to teach them the fighting techniques that suits them the best, the person in front of Ash should be a very experienced martial artist! In the same way, this should be the reason why the predecessor Ash left his newly caught Primeape to that con artist, Anthony.

Going through the memories of the old Ash led him to find how his mentalaliyy worked: He thought that this Anthony who had just retired recently and became a coach in the P1 competition, so that he could spend more time with his wife and children and also be able to train his Primeape. The old Ash still never called Primeape back even though it has been years. This is a thing that Luke didn't like.

It's a pity that Ash couldn't contact him for a while, so he has to ask Professor Oak. He believe there should be news about Primeape then.

While Ash was thinking so wildly when he suddenly saw that the uncle suddenly ordered Machoke to use the move "Submission" on him!

This is a one of the stronger attacks of the Fighting series, an extremely deadly watch when used correctly.

They saw Machoke standing on his head without mercy, using his legs to grip the uncle's neck, and then hugged his feet with his strong hands, and they rolled into a form and then jumped high!

Finally, the uncle was extremely exhausted and hurt after going that high, then he was suddenly thrown out by that Machoke!

"He will be hurt if he falls!" Brock exclaimed, he would be seriously injured even if he landed on the beach like this!

A bluish pink light flashed in Ash's eyes, and he lookef at the old man with his ability.

"Is this Psychic?" The uncle was very insightful and immediately recognized that the blue light that caught him was one of the abilities of a Psychic.

Then Ash slowly put him down and the group rushed over.

Unexpectedly, the uncle actually started crying. Even Machoke had tears in his eyes, "I'm so moved, I'm so moved that I can't help but crying!"

Molly walked over and said, "Uncle, although my brother saved you, you don't have to be so moved!"

Unexpectedly, the uncle suddenly looked at Machoke and said, "It's amazing. That attack of yours was so beautiful, Machoke!"

These two muscular men hugged each other and cried bitterly under the newly appeared sunset, keep in mind that this is not even noon yet. The scene was so irritating that they didn't dare to watch it.

Ash and his group were covered in sweat after seeing this, specially Ash! This reminded him too much of Youth and a certain duo wearing interesting clothings.

The uncle looked at Ash again, "Young man, were you the one who saved me just now? I didn't expect to meet a young man who can use Psychic after such a long time!"

"Thank you very much for saving me. Looks like you are carrying Pokémon. You are a Trainer, right? What is your name?"

He finally remembered to say thank you after all that.

"I am Ash from Pallet Town, this is Misty, Brock, Molly, Pikachu, and Meganium!" Ash introduced everyone to him.

"So, are you going to challenge the Cianwood City Gym?" The uncle's eyes seemed to detect everything, and his eyes were shining.

Ash nodded, "That's right!"

Then the weird uncle suddenly patted Ash's on the shoulder, "Then run 10 laps along this beach! Show me your YOUTH! YOUTH!" Looks like Ash jinxed himself.

Seeing that the uncle and Machoke were obviously alredy training together, Ash was a little confused, "Are you really going to run now?"

"You have to run!" He said with a determined attitude, "If you want to challenge the Cianwood City Gym, you have to run!'

Ash didn't need to hear anything else.

"Pikachu, let's go and do this!" Ash suddenly smiled, "Bring it on!"

"Pika!" Pikachu was a little reluctant, but still brought his Macho Brace along with him for the run.

There are not many opportunities for him to carry this thing because most of the time he is riding on Ash's shoulders, but this is the perfect time for it!

"Brother, come on!" Molly leaned on Misty and watched Ash run out with Pikachu!

This beach are itself is not that big or long, just average, so 10 laps is nothing to Ash. What's interesting is that this uncle also ran along.

On the first lap, the uncle could barely keep up with Machoke and Ash. After all, Ash had to wait for Pikachu, who brought his Macho Brace along with him.

Slowly, Pikachu got used to it and became faster.

"Pay attention to the sand!" Ash caught up with the uncle from behind and whispered beside him!

"Look how fast Ash is compared to him!" Brock, Misty and Molly couldn't help laughing when they heard the uncle yelling. Togepi was the one that looked having the most fun.

When he ran to their side, he said to him, "Uncle, Ash physique is almost that of a Pokémon, Psychic and Fighting! You really shouldn't run with him!!

"Watch out!"

This is Ash's fifth lap, surpassing his uncle by two laps!

"Don't be proud, kid! I just went soft on you this time!" No one even believed what the uncle said, not even his own Machoke.

"We have four more laps left!"

This is Ash's 6th lap, surpassing the uncle by three laps! He has having a great time.

"Why is this kid running so fast? Why is he getting faster and faster instead of slowing?" The uncle regretted this a little.

"Watch out!"

Ash's tenth lap was six laps ahead of this uncle, but he still hadn't stopped yet. He planned to finish as many laps as possible at the same time this guy finished his ten laps!

"You kid! You can stop! Stop! Machoke, keep running. I was injured just now, so I won't run anymore!" The uncle gave up quickly on the pretext of being injured. He must have been scared of Ash's speed.

Stopping, the man lay down on the beach, exhausted, sweating, and out of breath.

Chapter 99: 99. The Return of the Monkey

"So? Why were you running?" The group followed Machoke and his trainer to a large dojo house, and Misty finally couldn't help but complain about this random guy they met.

"The reason is the re-!" The uncle was really exhausted and couldn't speak clearly. He could only point in the direction of the house, and they began to understand it soon.

Sure enough, several Trainers came out of the house, bringing Fighting-type Pokémon with them, calling this uncle "Teacher"!

This uncle is really a martial artist like Ash originally thought.

In front of all his students, the uncle stood up forcefully and put on a very dignified look, "Have you practiced well?"

They all said yes at the same like it has been practiced several times.

"Ash and everyone present, I welcome you to the Cianwood City Gym! I am a Trainer who uses Fighting-type Pokémon and the Gym Leader of the City Cianwood Gym, Chuck!" The self-introduction was actually quite impressive, if only ge could stop being out of breath after saying it, that would have made it a much better introduction.

After hard training, there is something very important one must do. EAT!

"Let's go, let's eat! Eat as much as you can! Eat as much as you can! Only when you are full can you have the strength to fight!" Chuck was very sincere and filled Ash's bowl with a large portion of rice and other things.

"Thank you, it's very delicious!" Molly was the first in the group to start and finish. She was very happy to eat the food, it must have been the good.

"What a cute little girl, please eat more if it's delicious!" Chuck's wife was very happy that her cooking was praised, and she was also very happy to see them eating happily.

"You should be the challenger this time, right?" She looked at Ash, "You must work hard and beat down my husband as soon as possible!"

'Where have the we heard this before?' The original Kanto group thought.

If their memory serves correctly, Anthony's daughter seemed to have come to Ash back then, asking him to knock down Anthony so he would return back to his family.

But judging from the loving couple they are, it doesn't seem like Chuck is the kind who will leave his wife. It's most likely because he trains way too much.

After having enough drinks and food with everyone, Ash was not in a hurry to battle in the Gym, he planned to go to the Pokémon Center first to digest it and get something done.

"It tasted really good!" Misty also approved of today's meal and planned to go for a walk with Ash, otherwise she would gain weight from overeating and not enough exercise.

"No, it's not just about the taste! It's low in fat, high in protein, and easy to digest and absorb! This kind of food is perfect for replenishing the physical strength of Trainers and their Pokémon after a long day of hard work!

Brock looked at a table of clean plates and said seriously, "This gym is very efficient and pays attention to their scientific training in both body and technique!"

"I'm going to ask madam for advice. Ash, your Pokémon training is very intense now. I think this recipe will be very helpful to you!"

With the Breeder Brock is, it really saves Ash a lot of worries about things like these.

"After eating, it's time to exercise and burn those calories! Ash, let's fight!" After eating, Chuck's physical strength seemed to have been restored to its usual.

But Ash apologized and said, "Mr. Chuck, I need to go to the Pokémon Center first and exchange a few Pokémon. Is that okay with you?"

After hearing Ash's words, Chuck nodded readily and let him go.

"Ash, I was just looking for you. That Anthony, whom you asked me to help contact, has news for you!" As soon as the call was answered, Professor Oak told Ash the good news he wanted.

"Really? What does my Primeape say?" Ash said in surprise.

"No problem, Anthony has retired and is now a coach, so Primeape will no longer have the chance to compete in the ring, so it's just the right time to give him back to you, his rightful trainer. I've already got his Poké Ball with me!" Professor Oak said with a smile.

He has already checked this Primeape. It is very strong. Ash has gained another good partner for his current team!

"How about it? Do you want me to teleport him to you?"

"Yes, I also want to thank you for Heracross!"

Ash originally planned to get his Heracross to come back and use a Fighting-type to fight against another Fighting-type Pokémon.

He wanted him to have a head-to-head, fist-to-fist confrontation.

Moreover, Ash's Heracross had a very high degree of compatibility with him from the moment he was caught by Ash.

However, it was later sent to Professor Oak for research purposes, and he then scrambled to evolve his Three Royal Starters, so Heracross's Bond Evolutions was delayed. However, from what he heard from Slowking and others showed that Heracross was training very hard in order to catch up with all his other Pokémon's.

Although Ash understands in his heart that not every Pokémon can complete their Bond Evolutions with him, there is no reason why Heracross cannot complete his with such a high degree of compatibility witb him!

"But Ash, you already have 6 Pokémon with you? Which one are going to exchange for?You know, you could always send that Raikou of yours." Professor Oak really misses Raikou!

Ash didn't refuse him this time, "Then I will send over my Raikou and Tyranitar over to you!"

"As expected, I knew you were hiding something from me. But I really didn't expect you to a catch a Tyranitar so soon!" Professor Oak's eyes lit up. Now all the exper- research he could do them is going to a whole new level.

Now no theives even dare to walk around or come close to his lab and the backyard because of all big guys in Ash's team!

Blastoise, Venusaur, Typhlosion, Houndoom, Rhydon, Slowking, Snorlax, etc. Now another new member is sent back, this time it is a Tyranitar. He hoped at least this big guy has a better temper than the rest!

"Don't worry, she is very obedient and plays with Molly all the time. She might look scary but she is actually very kind and soft. Take good care of her." Ash discovered that Molly has a special talent and can play well with all his Pokémon, even grumpy ones like Houndoom and Typhlosion.

Since she was going to be sent back, Ash exchanged it for a Muscle Band and gave it to Tyranitar. For her, a strong body is her strongest weapon!

"Show them your fist, Primeape!" Arriving at the backyard of the Pokémon Center, Ash released his Primeape after a very long time.

This Primeape is the eighth Pokémon that Ash captured while traveling in the Kanto Region. At that time, the predecessor Ash heard that Gary had sent back dozens of Pokémon back to the Professor. When he met Primeape, which was still Mankey at the time, it even snatched away his hat, so he became angry with it and chased it.

Later, it went on a rampage and evolved into a Primeape, but was still caught by his predecessor.

The pure Fighting-type Primeape is very strong and wears black rings on his limbs.

After being trained by Anthony and fighting in the ring for a long time, it has reached a height of 1.3 meters. It is also wearing the championship belt after winning the P1 competition. This is his glory!

"Primape, long time no see buddy!"

Unexpectedly, Primeape suddenly launched an attack, hitting Ash with a left uppercut.

The punch was fast, fierce and menacing, but Ash's whole body flashed with a dazzling blue light and he moved to avoid the punch!

However, Primeape, who had been active in the ring for a very long time, attacked with an overwhelming force. Seeing that Ash successfully avoided it, Primeape grinned and seen to say, "It's looks like you have also been training hard, Ash!"

"Well done!"

Ash seemed to be using a version of Armament Haki with his Aura to protect himself and also to hit back. He raised his hand to block the blow, then took the initiative and punched Primeape in the face.

Seeing this, Primeape's feet were became even faster. It seemed that with just a slight tap, he took a small step back and avoided the punch Ash gave him. Then he squatted down and punched Ash in the stomach!

Whether it's his reactions, skills, or strength, Primeape has been trained extremely well!

"ASH!"

This series of battles happened in an instant. Only then did Brock react and exclaimed.

However, Primeape stopped in time, put down his posture, and actually pulled off his belt and handed it over to Ash.

Looking at its narrow pupils, Ash seemed to understand his meaning!

The previous glory and achievements are in the past, now he has returned, and its glory will be created with Ash!

Ash took off the belt and put his hat on Primapes head, "Welcome back, partner!"

Primeape: 180/220
