Chapter 214: Something Significant Has Been Released
Chapter 214: Something Significant Has Been Released
"Teacher Jing He."
Chaidou, who was eating cake, suddenly seemed to remember something and stammered.
"Hmm?"
"P-Please don't tell anyone that I like sweet treats!" Chaidou said, her face turning red.
Under her parents' strict and talented education, Chaidou placed great importance on etiquette and possessed exceptional judgment. She remained calm and composed in any dangerous situation.
But the result was that despite being much younger than Daimu and the others, the strict demands of her parents had gradually turned her into a Gym Leader. Her spirit was unknowingly confined, and her smiles had vanished without a trace.
Seeing the serious expression on Chaidou's face, Jing He sighed inwardly.
It seemed that only when she was eating sweets did she show a genuine smile and express true emotions.
"No problem," Jing He said with a smile.
"Thank you so much!"
Soon, Chaidou finished the entire large slice of cake.
But after finishing her dessert, she stood in front of Jing He and bowed 90 degrees, pleading, "Please, Teacher Jing He, have a Pokemon battle with me!"
Indeed, there was no escape.
Jing He felt a sense of helplessness.
"Chirp!"
Before he could speak, the Forretress on the side stood up, holding a hammer, its eyes gleaming with a faint fire.
There were only two of the most challenging Gyms left in the Kanto region, and it needed to seize the opportunity to enhance its strength! Chaidou, who was clearly a martial artist, would be the perfect opponent to test the fighting techniques it had learned from Ziba.
"Do you want to fight?" Jing He looked at Forretress.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
Forretress nodded vigorously.
Seeing Forretress's expression, Chaidou was also ignited.
"Teacher Jing He, let's battle!"
"Chirp!!"
In an open area behind the cafe, Jing He and Chaidou stood on opposite sides.
A cool breeze blew, causing the grass to sway, and ripples formed on the surface of the nearby lake.
The feeling of a duel at sunset was unmistakable. Jing He rubbed his temples.
"Go, Machamp!" Chaidou's eyes narrowed as she threw the Poke Ball.
In a flash of red light, a humanoid Pokemon with blue skin and four powerful arms appeared in front of Chaidou. It was Machamp, the evolved form of Machoke, one of the most representative Fighting-type Pokemon and one of Chaidou's signature Pokemon.
Chaidou stood solemnly, pulling the ends of her headband and tightening it.
Machamp did the same, taking a "black belt" from its waist and tying it around its head, pulling it tight.
Black Belt: A headband that boosts the power of Fighting-type moves (Wear it, and you'll become a black belt master)!
"Pokedex, you've been quite active lately."
"Feeling the pressure?"
"Chirp?"
Seeing this, Forretress blinked, then also took out a headband, tied it around its head, and tightened it!
Strength Headband!
Chaidou's eyes gleamed.
This Forretress is so in sync with me!
Not far away, the Team Rocket trio was hiding behind a large tree, watching the scene.
"Who's that girl?" Butch asked.
"Her name is Chaidou, I think?" Cassidy was unsure.
"Is she challenging Teacher Jing He, nya?"
"Meowth! (Victory!)"
"Give it your all, Machamp!" Chaidou said in a deep voice.
"Rool!" Machamp spread its four arms and grinned excitedly.
"Chirp."
Forretress looked at the crouching Machamp, ready for battle, and thought.
Should I use the small hammer or the big hammer?
The big hammer feels more reassuring.
Hum—
A faint blue aura of Aura power emanated from Jing He, and his voice echoed in Forretress's mind.
"Forretress, Sword Dance!"
In the next moment,
"Chirp!"
Forretress's hammer slammed heavily into the ground, causing a slight tremor. Its body was enveloped in a red glow, accompanied by a resonant hum.
"Huh? It already started?" Cassidy was taken aback.
Chaidou also looked surprised.
"Chaidou," Jing He said in a deep voice, his face calm, "If you're not prepared to counterattack, taking the initiative is the first step in a battle!"
Since it's not an official match and there's no referee, what's wrong with starting with a "Sword Dance"?
Chaidou snapped back to reality, her expression becoming serious as she said, "I understand, Teacher Jing He!"
In her view, Teacher Jing He was teaching her. After all, she was here to learn, and demonstrations were normal.
And in the wild, opponents wouldn't follow any rules.
Chaidou's eyes sharpened, and she swung her fist.
"Dynamic Punch!!"
Machamp, with its "No Guard" ability, completely ignored its own defenses, bursting with incredible agility and aggression.
Machamp darted forward at lightning speed, appearing in front of Forretress in the blink of an eye.
Then, Machamp raised both arms behind it, and its fists burst with a brilliant dark red Fighting-type energy.
The "No Guard" ability granted Machamp a high hit rate for its moves.
"Dynamic Punch" is a powerful Fighting-type move with 100 power, and if it hits, it will definitely confuse the opponent. The only drawback is its low accuracy, only 50% in the games.
But the combination of "No Guard" and "Dynamic Punch" is the "Dynamic No Guard" tactic.
With the characteristic of "Dynamic Punch" causing confusion upon impact, its threat level is hardly less significant than a decisive move like "Earthquake."
However.
This isn't a game. Even with the "No Guard" ability guaranteeing hits, there's still no such thing as a 100% accurate move.
For instance.
At this moment, Machamp's movements were incredibly fast, but under Jing He's watchful eye, enhanced by the Aura power, the speed wasn't as exaggerated as it seemed.
Clang!!
Machamp's powerful fists slammed into the hammer of the Blacksmith, producing a dull thud.
At the same time, the Blacksmith pulled the hammer down to absorb the force.
This was one of the techniques it had learned from Syuba’s fighting insights.
Sometimes, when facing a powerful opponent, brute force isn't always the best option. There are more efficient and practical techniques that can be used.
Huh?
Caidou was taken aback.
Is this possible?
But Machamp's attack didn’t stop. A barrage of punches rained down on the hammer, leaving faint imprints.
Jing He's lips twitched.
Is the Blacksmith using Machamp's "Dynamic Punch" to refine its hammer?
Good grief.
Jing He couldn’t help but exclaim.
How much rare metal will this cost?
It hurt, it really hurt.
"Right now, Ice Hammer!!"
Unable to watch any longer, it seized the brief gap in Machamp's attack and gave the command.
The Blacksmith, holding the hammer to absorb and redirect the force, let out a low growl. As Machamp threw another punch, it used Machamp's strength to propel the hammer forward.
Frost quickly covered the hammer.
Machamp, focused on its offense and with no defense, was wide open.
With a thud, the hammer struck Machamp, sending it flying like a cannonball.
It crashed into the ground, creating a massive crater and a cloud of dust.
"Such incredible power!" Caidou exclaimed inwardly.
And, and that technique of absorbing and redirecting the force...
The scene replayed in her mind.
Is this the skill of a true fighting master?
Caidou took a deep breath and swung her fist again.
"Machamp, close combat!"
Whoosh—
From the dust, Machamp leaped out.
If you looked closely, you could see that the golden belt around its waist was already covered in fine cracks.
With a roar, the golden belt shattered!
It was said that because Machoke’s strength was too great, it needed to wear a power-limiting belt to control it.
If Machoke had such power, Machamp was even more formidable!
It had fully unleashed its strength.
This was Caidou and Machamp’s all-out effort!
And it was their final attack!
Ripped clothes?
Jing He's eye twitched.
However.
While "close combat" was powerful, it also reduced Machamp's already non-existent defense even further.
The outcome of a close-range attack was uncertain.
So.
Don’t let it get close!
"Blacksmith, one more Ice Hammer, throw it!"
This move was something the Blacksmith was familiar with.
"Chirp!!"
The hammer, now twice its size and covered in thick ice, was thrown with great force.
Bang!!
The running Machamp didn’t expect this move. The hammer flew directly at its face and made intimate contact.
Jing He winced and rubbed his cheek.
Thankfully, the Blacksmith doesn’t bring its hammer to bed, just a couple of kicks, which are already quite "gentle."
At the same time.
After throwing the hammer, the Blacksmith quickly moved in and caught it as it flew back.
A mischievous glint flashed in the Blacksmith's eyes.
The hammer, now cracked with ice, was surrounded by a faint pink glow, accompanied by twinkling stars that seemed to dance playfully.
Huh?
Jing He was taken aback.
Is this...
Playfulness?
The hammer struck, dust rose, and strange little stars appeared.
After a long while.
The dust settled.
The exhausted Blacksmith stood on the cracked ground, leaning on its hammer.
Machamp had lost its ability to fight.
"I lost!" Caidou said with a straight face.
She walked up to Jing He and bowed deeply again.
"Please, Teacher Jing He, teach me!"
Jing He held his forehead.
In terms of fighting techniques, he definitely wasn’t as skilled as Caidou. He just had a bit more "substance."
Seeing that Caidou wouldn’t stand up unless he agreed, Jing He thought for a moment and said:
"Caidou, I think you sometimes focus too much on form."
Caidou blinked.
Recalling the battle, she realized that Teacher Jing He might have a point!
"Have you heard of... unrestricted battles?"
"Unrestricted battles?"
Caidou looked up sharply, her eyes sparkling.
Unrestricted battles, something she hadn’t learned!
Jing He’s lips twitched.
It seemed that in the Galar region, because the League was established relatively late, unrestricted battles weren’t as common?
Oh no.
Did I just unleash something significant?
A scene flashed through Jing He’s mind.
Go, Caidou!
Shaking his head.
However.
To be fair, Caidou’s talents were somewhat stifled by her elite education.
Maybe let her loose in the cafe first?
