บท 138: 138. Ash-Heracross
"This Piloswine is so powerful even after all those years being stuck in ice!"
Misty now has a deeper understanding of the courage of this Piloswine, but she also admires Ash's Tyrouge for being so brave enough to attack even though there is such a huge difference in size and power!
"You did a great job, rest for now Tyrouge!"
Ash is very optimistic about his Tyrouge. Although he is small in size, he is very aggressive and almost completely fearless. He will definitely shine at the Silver Conference under him!
At this moment, Piloswine, who received a flying knee from Tyrouge, was panting a little harder. Its body could not fully recover so quickly after being stuck in that place for so long, and he also suffered all the blows from Ash's Tyrouge without being able to dodge because of his size.
The Take Down he used also has recoil damage to it.
"Then it's your time to shown!" Ash threw out his second Poké Ball, "Stand by for battle, Heracross!"
This heroic Heracross is the first Pokémon that Ash had previously caught since coming to the Johto Region, and it is also the first Pokémon that Luke has caught since traveling through to the Pokémon Universe. So of course he is very significant to him as a core memory.
And because of his heroic spirit, he fits well with Ash very well.
But unfortunately, Heracross has no possibility to evolve, so after the Bond Value reached above 200, it rised very slowly compared to his other Pokémon.
Finally, today after some extra taking and training, their Bond Value has finally reached 245, and its compatibility has also reached its peak of 255 as it learned combat skills with Primeape and further understood its use of horns and fists!
In other words, his Bond Evolution is very close happening, it just might happen during his battle with Pryces Piloswine!
"Heracross vs. Piloswine, the battle begins!"
The moment Aunt Sheila as the official referee announced the beginning of teh battle, Ash immediately gave the first order, "Heracross, Mega Horn!"
This is one of the strongest Bug-type moves. This attack did not hit Piloswine, but instead broke the nearest huge icicle of Heracross with one corner, which was taller than itself!
"Oh my Arkoos!" Misty exclaimed, she could not imagine such a violent attack that was not for the target.
Pryce was confused by the actions of Ash and his Heracross. What on earth was going on? But he still remained unchanged in response to the changes around him, "Piloswine, use another Blizzard!"
This is the way he and Piloswine have always fought. First, use Blizzard to freeze the opponent and restrict the opponent's movements, and then use moves like Take Down to complete their battle strategy!
But this is exactly why Ash wants to knock an icicle down!
"Close Combat now!"
Heracross held the huge icicle in its arms, and a frighteningly powerful force burst out. He quickly flapped his two side wings and rushed towards Piloswine holding the large icicle!
The Blizzard made by Piloswine was blocked by the icicle, and the cold ice and snow only made the icicle bigger and bigger, until Heracross came closer and smashed the icicle hard on Piloswine!
Then he began to pounc on him and hit him!
One punch, two punches, another push with the horn, and another palm!
After Primeape's training, this kind of Close Combat is no longer a random fight, but a lock on punch, leaving ten opponent powerless to parry the blows. Ash trained him by telling him to attack when he gets the chance, of course they will first test out if it's a trap or not!
"Piloswine! Use Take Down!"
It was only at this time that Pryce was stunned by the icicle hit just now and reacted to the situation, and he quickly asked Piloswine to counterattack with a powerful Take Down!
But now was already too late!
Heracross: 250/255
"HER!"
Powerful aura was flowing through Heracross's body, and its Bond Value was constantly increasing, allowing him to feel the new but explosive power within his body!
At this moment, Heracross began growing in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming a true giant in the field!
"Arm Thrust!"
A palm with terrifying power knocked back half of Piloswine's collision force, and then with another palm, Piloswine was completely stopped on his track!
Seeing this, Pryce knew he had to find a way to deal with Heracross's Arm Thrust move or else he will lose very badly, "Fury Attack!"
Continuous skills collided in an instant, and both parties were pushed back but Piloswine more than Heracross!
This Piloswine was indeed very strong, which shows how powerful Pryce was as a Trainer back then in his time. If he hadn't lost his mentality later and wasted so many years, he would definitely be much stronger now!
Heracross: 253/255
Its size has reached 2 meters, of course, including its giant and horns which are also becoming much bigger than even Mega Heracross!
"Ash, what's going on with your Heracross? I've never seen one so huge and I have seen many during my lifetime!" Pryce was already very confused. This Heracross was so huge that it was even kind of scary to him.
"Our Evolution is not over yet!" Ash looked at the last 2 points of Bond Value with his now red eyes. He must complete the Bond Evolution of Heracross today because he doesn't know when he is going to have a chance the next time!
He has waited for this day for far too long, and he isn't going to back off now!
"Heracross, Close Combat!"
The carapace behind him opened, Heracross flapped its wings, and came down in front of Piloswine in a very fast speed considering his size. Another punch was like a huge wave, and the punch hit him!
"Piloswine, use Icy Wind to slow him down!"
Icy Wind froze the entire body of Heracross from such a close distance!
But this is the moment that will change everything!
Heracross: 255/255
Dump
In that frozen form, the dazzling light of Evolution suddenly bloomed form Heracross's body!
Then, the ice began to crumble down, and the evolved Heracross appeared in front of Ash and the others.
Heracross's size has reached over 2 meters, and there was no significant change in his appearance. It has not turned into the giant bug like his Mega Evolution form. The single horn on the forehead became very huge and thick, because the antennae on both sides of the horn also became longer!
The pair of upper arms are not as thick as a Mega Heracross but still looked very powerful, and the original spikes are even more terrifying! There was also a slight change in his wing shape.
Name: Ash-Heracross
Attribute: Bug, Fighting
Ability: Moxie (After you defeat an opponent, you will get an increas in your attack.)
Skill Link (Using continuous moves, you can always use them the highest number of times.)
Skills: Arm Thrust, Aerial Ace, Brick Break, Pin Missile, Mega Horn, Close Combat, Sword Dance, Charge Blast…
After completing his Bond Evolution, Heracross has the ability to continuously attack, which will allow it to always use the highest number of consecutive moves such as Arm Thrust, Pin Missile, etc.
In the last attack just now, the Arm Thrust he used hit a total of four times, and now, it can definitely hit five palms in a row with this new ability. In a battle like this, this extra palm could be the key to a victory or a defeat!
"The battle continues!"
The Bond Evolution of Heracross's made Ash feel the new surging power in her body. This is the amazing power contained in Heracross's body!
This made him extremely excited!
Just as he was about to continue his attack, Pryce threw a white towel at him!
"Me and Piloswine surrender the battle, Heracross won this times!" Sheila reacted immediately to what Pryce said, "The Challenger Ash won this Gym Battle!"
"Ash, you are really strong. If it weren't for the fact that you seem to have something to look forward to, I would have already given up the moment your Heracross began to change. It would be too hard for my Piloswine to continue fighting in his state. I so sincerely apologize for that!"
Pryce knew very well that now his Piloswine had reached his limit, and he could no longer withstand the punch of Ash's Heracross.
"Thank you for your hard work, Piloswine!" He took Piloswine back to his Poke Ball ot have rest, "Ash, you can really become the Pokémon Master!"
"Thank you Mr. Pryce." Ash let his Heracross recover before taking him back.
"It's okay!" Pryce walked over, "This is the evidence of winning at this Gym against me, the Glacier Badge. You deserve it more than anyone else."
Finally, there was only one Badge left for him to get for the Silver Conference!
