Capítulo 281: 281. One Shot
Ash's Torchic had just evolved into a Combusken, which means that all of his Starter Pokémons from the Hoenn Region has completed their first stage of evolution and into their second stage.
But in truth, this is just the beginning for all three of them.
After evolving into his final form, Grovyle can finally perfect his signature Leaf Blade attack, which will definitely become its strongest attack and also most likely the finisher, so Ash had sent him back and let it continue to practice this skill under his Scizor's coaching, and it is already showing great results.
He sometimes calls Grovyle back to him to see how far he had gotten with his own eyes; he was very pleased with him to say the least.
Both Marshtomp and Combusken have received new secondary types after their evolutions, and they need further training to improve on this part before their next evolution.
Ash believe that his Annihilape and Hitmonlee will be very willing to train a training demon like his Combusken. And Combusken will also benefit immensely from all of his other older Fire-type Pokémon's helping him out. He can also train and bond with his Growlithe under Houndoom.
Since Magcargo was just defeated by Ash's newly evolved Combusken, the rookie Gym Leader Flannery only had her last Pokémon left to do some more damage to Ash's team; which was unlikely to happen.
"Okay, it's your turn, Torkoal, burn!" Flannery finally managed to calm down and threw out her last Poké Ball, and what jumped out was a big red turtle with a very durable looking shell; this thing was also releasing high temperature from its nostrils body.
This is most likely Flannerys Trump Card Pokémon, and Ash could see that the bond between the two was also quite high.
"Come back, Combusken! You did a good job, not rest up." Ash took the Combusken back to rest, "Stand by for battle, Corphish!"
That's right, Ash had also exchanged his Corphish back to be his Water-type Pokémon for this battle in a Fire-type Gym. His Corphish has been training very hard recently in the lab under his older Pokémon's guidance, now was the time time to personally check how strong he had become.
"Car! Corphish!" Ash's Corphish waved its pincers in an excited expression, looking very happy to be back with his favorite person in the world.
"Then let's go, Corphish, use Bubble Beam!" Ash said slightly with a smile. He knew that his Corphish was not be that far away from evolving into his next form. He plans to take him with him for some time to let him gather more experience and evolve. Maybe after he evolves, he will also become his first Pokémon in the Hoenn Region to undergo their Bond Evolutions.
Corphish happily waved the shrimp claws, unaware of what his Trainer was thinking m, and the Bubble Beam hit Torkoal squarely in the face. Both the power and the momentum were much stronger than the last time they battled together, which honestly wasn't even two weeks ago.
However, after Torkoal appeared in the field, Flannerys condition and style was completely different, which show just how much trust she had in her Torkal, "Torkoal, use Flamethrower!"
Torkoal is different from both Camerupt and Magcargo in that it uses the coal inside of its body instead of making magma. It burns charcoal inside the body and converts most of them into energy. The power of this Flamethrower was truly extraordinary.
This Flamethrower was able to almost completely overshadowed Corphish's second Bubble Beam and was about to even evaporate it compared.
It can be seen that Torkoal has a higher level of suppression compared to Ash's Corphish, and because of this higher level difference, Torkoal even overpowered the Water-type that he was weak to. However, Ash did not show a paniced look at all, "Use Crabhammer!"
Corphish's eyes burst out with bright light, his big pincers shone with an even brighter light, and he slashed down at the incoming pillar of fire.
This move was specially trained by Corphish under the tutelage of Ash's Kingler, so its power was obviously astonishingly high. That crazy powerful Crabhammer actually managed to create a vacuum zone.
Torkoals Flamethrower was actually slashed in half by Corphish in this way. This scene made Moore's eyes light up with… hope?
He understood what kind of training one had to do to achieve such strength, and that Corphish didn't even look that old.
He now knew why Ash was able to battle and even defeat a Champion-level Trainer like Lance at such a young age.
"How is that possible?!" Flannery was stunned and suddenly ran out of ideas to counter the attack.
And this was the perfect opportunity that Ash can use to seize his victory, "Now, use Bubble Beam again!"
Taking advantage of Flannerys dazed look and the confusion she was internally facing, Corphish's Bubble Beam hit Torkoal head-on again for the second time.
"No!" Flannery finally came to her senses, but Torkoal was already seriously injured. "Torkoal, use Sludge Bomb!"
Unexpectedly, this Torkoal coupd actually use such a powerful Poison-type attack. Torkoal struggled but finally spat out several balls of sludge with a toxic smell to them, hitting Ash's Corphish head-on.
Ash was not lucky this time as his Corphish was unfortunately poisoned at the last moment, just because of this, their chances of victory had become a lot lowered.
This poison helped Torkoal even more than his much higher level.
"Now, Torkoal, use Overheat!" This time it was Flannerys turn to truly take the initiative in this battle, and the power of this Overheat was truly astonishing.
But this will also greatly reduce Torkoal's Special Attack, and most of Torkoals main attacks were Special Attacks, so the power will become lower each time after each use. The power of this first attack will obviously be the strongest, and it can be said that this will be its most powerful attack during this match.
Flannerys timing this time was very accurate, and this move really achieved a decisive kill.
Corphish was hit head-on and a very close range because of the Sludge Bomb he couldn't dodge in time and immediately lost his ability to fight. Torkoal not only used his much higher level to suppress Corphish, but the lucky poison was also another thing that made Corphish take more damage.
"Corphish loses its ability to battle, meaning Torkoal wins this battle!" Mr. Moore said with a small smile in the corner of his lips.
Ash took Corphish back, "You did well. Stand by for battle again, Combusken!"
His last Pokémon was left to fight against Mr.
Moore's Ace Typhlosion, so Ash decided to send out his Combusken into battle again to make sure nothing weird happened.
Torkoal's Special Attack has been greatly reduced, so this was Combusken's opportunity to counterattack.
"Torkoal, use Flamethrower!" Flannery knew what Ash was thinking, but she wanted to pursue this victory and lure out Ash's third Pokémon to do some damage and ultimately help her grandfather m.
However, this time the Flamethrower's power was also greatly reduced because of the previous Overheat. Ash had a grin, and his Combusken also showed a victorious expression.
He was covered in a fireball and easily avoided the attack range of Torkoals Flamethrower.
He quickly came to Torkoal and kicked him with his muscular chicken legs.
It was Double Kick!
Torkoal had already been seriously injured by Corphish before, and he immediately fell to the ground after being kicked hard.
"Torkoal loses the ability to fight, meaning Combusken wins this battle!" Mr. Moore announced Ash's victory against Flannery, and then slowly walked down from his referee position, "Flannery, you did a good job, Ash's strength was even beyond my imagination, and I heard how strong he was. Now then, you can hand the rest over to me!"
"Yes, grandpa!" As they previously agreed on, Flannery will now go to the referee's position and announce that the battle would
continue.
"I heard that Mr. Moore's Typhlosion was very powerful from Nurse Joy. This battle must be a tough battle for Ash!" Brock watched Mr. Moore come on the field and felt that this grandpa's momentum was suddenly constantly rising. He changed the friendly demeanor he just he just had now to a much more ferocious one.
"Come on, my old partner! Lets us see what that bird keeper lost too!" Mr. Moore sent out his very Ace Typhlosion!
As expected, the momentum it was releasing was very amazing!
But compared to the momentum Ash's Typhlosion could now release after his training the lab, the momentum Mr. Moore's Typhlosions was worse, so Ash didn't feel any pressure from this at all.
It's just that his Marshtomp at this level was definitely not going to win and Ash didn't have his own Thyplosion with him, so Ash changed his strategy temporarily, "Lets show them our power, Pikachu!"
The only one who will fight against Typhlosion here was his strongest Pokémon!
Which was very unfortunate as even if Mr. Moore's Thyplosion was in its peak form, he would still lose quite easily, even if Pikachu was holding back.
"Yes, Pikachu will definitely defeat taht Typhlosion!" As Ash's partners on his journey, Max and others knew the true strength of Pikachu best, and the power between him and Ash was something they have never seen.
"Then let me attack first, old partner, use Flamethrower!" Mr. Moore used a
Flamethrower as his first attack!
Then Ash will also show them what they can do, "Thunderbolt!"
Pikachu's surging electricity collided with Typhlosion's Flamethrower, and sure enough, an explosion occurred and the Thunderbolt almost hit Thyplosion but he managed ot dodge in the last second, with only some burns in has body.
"Typhlosion, use Flame Wheel and then Flamethrower from the inside!" However, at the last moment of the explosion, Mr. Moore ordered his Typhlosion to launch a stronger Flamethrower attack while speeding up.
The Flame Wheel broke through the powerful winds caused by their explosion and headed towards Pikachu, the momentum it was now releasing was even more amazing than before.
But does Pikachu really need to be avoid this attempt?
The answer was a definite NO!
"Pikachu, us eVolt Tackle!" Ash's whole body flashed with a bright yellow light, and Pikachu was immediately enveloped in golden and blue sparks!
The bond between Ash and Pikachu was so strong that they could just do their Bond Evolutions without needing to wait or think about it. It was just a second instinct.
Pikachu's Volt Tackle's momentum becomes even stronger under this new spark and power.
Pikachu was enveloped in a blue spark now, and faced Typhlosion's Flame Wheel without needing to evade, even though he could easily do it in his current speed.
Instead, now his speed was becoming faster and faster, until his figure turned into a golden-blue lightning and easily knocking Typhlosion back!
"Huh, it seems like he was weaker than I hoped…" Ash murmured to himself. This was also another of the many reasons why he doesn't let Pikachu appear in battles.
Pikachu was simply too powerful, Lances Dragonite had to stay inside of the Pokémon Center for a whole week after he was hit by one of Pikachu's strongest attacks, and it was at 75% of his current power.
And his current Pikachu fighting this Typhlosion was even stronger than when he was fighting Dragonite, even though he was only going 20% of his MAX power.
Typhlosion lost his ability to fight in just one blow!
"Thats so amazing!" As the referee, Flannery was stunned and did not announce the result for a long time. Instead, she watched in shock as the sparks on Pikachu slowly disappeared.
She knew very well how strong her grandfathers Ace was, but now it was so easily defeated by Ash's Pikachu in a single blow.
"Flannery, hurry up and announce the results !" After urging Flannery to announce the result, Mr. Moore looked at Flannery and smiled and said, "Flannery, you performance was very good in the battle, so now I can travel with peace in mind!"
"I will definitely work hard to become an excellent Gym Leader who is not inferior to you!" After this time, Flannery also got her confidence back.
"Ash, I'll leave this Heat Badge to you!" This was the first Gym Badge that Flannery has given out as a real Gym Leader!
Capítulo 282: 282. Spinda Issues
Now that they have finally enjoyed the hot springs and sand baths of Lavaridge Town and also got their needed Gym Badge, Ash and his bunch decided to continue on the road after purchasing the necessary travel supplies.
The city with an official Gym closest from where they were was Fortree City, where the Flying-type Gym was located, but they have to cross a large desert on the way if they go directly from here. Which they obviously don't want to go through.
So Brock suggested that their group return to Mauville City first, and then go to Petalburg City from there, just in time to get the needed Balance Badge from Norman and the Petalburg City Gym.
In fact, relying on Ash's own words and his powers, there was no real problem in crossing that large desert, on his own, but after all, he still had to think about his companions, so this plan was of course put on hold and so they went with Brock's plan.
Ash and Norman had a "tie" at the beginning and did not get the Gym Badge from him. This time he had to fight harder and get the Gym Badge.
And for May and Max, this decision of course means going home, which they have longed for.
Another thing was that Ash was officially going to meet his future "in-laws", even though they agreed to Ash having such a relationship with May and his other women, they still wanted to talk face to face about how he should treat May from there.
"Is Dad and Big Bros official Gym battle coming so soon?" Max was extremely excited about this future battle. He had been waiting for this day to arrive for such a long time.
The two most powerful people in his mind were finally going to face off against each other.
Now that they had decided, the group quickly re-planned their route.
Thinking of going home, May and Max couldn't help but walk a little faster, and soon they climbed up a tall hill.
"Huh?" Max, who was holding his PokéNav, stopped and saw a spotted Pokémon, Spinda, appearing right in front of them.
Each Pokémon of this kind has different spots, it's virtually impossible to find two that are alike. Even after years of hard work, Trainers and civilians alike have never found two separate Spindas looking the same, meaning with the same patterns.
Soon there were more and more Spindas appearing in front of them, and sure enough, each one was different from the last one.
"Look, look at that Spinda!" May's eyes were not something to scoff at as she could quickly see things that sometimes even Ash and Pikachu can't see.
Of course, this doesn't count the Rocket Trio as they have always managed to disguise themselves from Ash's complete, all of them other than himself, 90% of the time at least.
May immediately noticed a very special-looking Spinda not far behind this large group of Spindas.
Its expression was not as dull as the ones in front of them, and instead it had a sense of intelligence in it's eyes. The most important thing was that the spots on its forehead was actually a heart-shaped, which was very adorable to Mays eyes.
From Ash's point of view, this Spinda most likely had a Trainer near here.
"Spinda!" When the group were looking at this Spinda, a sudden voice came from behind. It was a young lady dressed in warm yellow long dress, "So you are here, I was looking for you everywhere! You had put me in so much worry!"
This young lady really did came looking to find this Spinda with the heart shaped patterns, but as soon as she appeared, the Spinda ran away decisively, as if it was afraid of her.
The young lady couldn't catch up in time and only saw that Spinda ran away into the sunset, so she could only sigh, "Spinda can bring happiness but only for a such a small time… what did I do to deserve this?"
Since they met by chance on the road, Ash and his party were also more than a little curious about that specific Spinda.
After chatting, they learned that this young lady's name was Claire, and later her butler, Royce, came to check up on her.
Claire did really come to find this special Spinda. "Since I met that Spinda, my life has been filled with a rose color, and countless happiness has come to me!"
It turns out that someone has entrusted this Spinda to Claire's care. Judging from her appearance, that person most likely was Claire's sweetheart/love interest.
From a certain perspective, this Spinda with the heart patterns was like their matchmaker.
"I originally agreed that I will return that Spinda to the other party today, but I accidentally let that Spinda of that important person escape. I really don't know what to do now." Claire's anxious look immediately made Brock's heart flutter, he really wanted to protect this beautiful girl.
'Classic Brock.' Thought the group.
He stood up almost immediately, "No problem, since I, the Great Brock of Pewter appeared, I will make sure to take all of your unhappiness away! Since that Spinda brought only bring happiness to you, I will definitely help you find it again!"
'And here we go, Brock hasn't even thought about any yet, and now he believes that the love pattern Spinda will bring happiness to him and Claire… just ehat am I going to do with him?' Ash gave a exasperated sigh but nodded a little.
Since such a thing has happened and Brock accepted this in an instant, Ash the rest were also obliged to deal with these dancers.
"If we really find that Spinda, maybe it will really bring us some good luck!" Max and May were also very enthusiastic, at least much more than Ash but nothing compared to Brock.
There were a large number of Spindas living on this mountain area. In such an environment, if they really want to find a single obe with a special pattern like the one they saw, even Ash's Aura Sense were of almost no use as they all had that same thing going ode them, so they can only rely on themselves to find it by luck. All they were using now their luck and nothing more.
"Here!" May saw one that looked similar, but when she looked carefully, the spots on its forehead were not the heart-shaped ones. In truth, it was all just a big disappointment.
"Found it!" Brock suddenly exclaimed. He saw a Spinda from the side. The spots on its forehead were really a heart-shaped, and half of the heart-shaped arc could also be seen.
Brock, who thought he could finally express his sincere happiness, rushed over without looking clearly at the front and held that Spinda in his arms.
"Yes, we caught it!" May and Max also cheered up.
"Let's go, let's go find Claire!" Brock said happily, and saw the Spinda slowly raising its head, which immediately made him feel like he was being struck by a bolt of lightning.
The spots on this Spinda's forehead was actually a broken heart, not the one he wanted.
Seeing this, Brock's heart was like that exact spot, broken in half!
"I'm so unlucky!" Brock put it down in disbelief and disappointment, and the Spinda shook its head and walked away.
At this time, Ash and Claire also found the right Spinda in a stock of "luck", thanks to Pikachu's sense of smell as he was able to luckily able to remember that smell. The heart shaped Spinda seemed to be looking for something, shaking its body and looking around.
Ash frowned and quickly stopped Claire, who was about to call out it, "Claire, it seems to be looking for something. Let's follow it to see what it does when it escapes!"
Taking this Spinda back now will not help at all, as it can even maybe escape again.
Now Ash has grown into a Trainer who can take charge of his own role and see things that most people can't see. He was very experienced in such things.
Claire also thought that what Ash had just said was reasonable, so she nodded immediately, and the two called and quickly gathered everyone together and followed the heart spotted one.
Seeing this heart spaped Spinda took the group to a beautiful sea of flowers, and Spinda's real owner, Claire's sweetheart, also happened to appear there.
This is where they met. This Spinda really was a matchmaker for them!
Some people were happy, while others were heartbroken. In this cheerful and rose-colored atmosphere, the heartbroken Spinda appears next to Brock and pulled on his trouser legs.
Seeing the heartbreaking spots on its forehead, Brock suddenly froze, "Unfortunate spots... just like me…"
He was so heartbroken that he squatted on the ground, drew circles on the ground, and murmured to himself, "It doesn't matter to me, as long as Claire can be happy, I don't care..."
[Notice! He really cared; if Host couldn't tell.]
Seeing and reading this, Ash just laughed. He found that the compatibility between Brock and this heartbroken Spinda was actually very high, and their Bond Value had already exceeded 200!
"Brock, I think this Spinda is very suitable for and it also likes you a lot, and if you two are partners, maybe the negative and negative will turn it into a positive for you? Just maybe this is the Spinda that will bring you all the happiness you need!"
He just had to foll his best friend, but if would be beneficial, right?
Unexpectedly, Brock really believed in what Ash just said. He actually cheered up and looked at the heartbroken Spinda lying next to him, "Yes! If I look carefully, you are really cute and have a lot of personality!"
"In that case, let me catch you!" This was Brock's second Pokémon in the Hoenn Region, a Spinda with the heartbreak spots!
