Pokémon: From Magikarp

Chapter 784 Challenge the Gym

……

"Oh!"

Another punch collided, and the two elves were pushed back by the aftermath, looking at their opponents breathlessly.

"Yes, it's great!"

Gym Master Huo Jue shouted loudly. In fact, judging from the fight just now, his Parasol Mushroom was undoubtedly at a disadvantage. The opponent's little bear not only attacked fiercely, but also seemed to have a way of predicting the future, which made its spirit very passive.

Coupled with the side effects of close combat, the defense of the Parasol mushroom was greatly reduced at this time, and its situation became even more dangerous.

"But my Parasaurolophus is more than just that. Parasaurolophus uses mushroom spores!"

The previous battle was an exchange with a Fighting-type Pokémon that was also a martial arts Pokémon, but now he has to shoulder his responsibilities as a gym owner and not let his opponent take away the gym badge easily!

"Lulu!"

The Parasol mushroom let out a soft cry, and green powder fell from the mushroom on its head. Then its red fist emitted light, and as if with magnetism, it attracted the green powder to its fist.

"Sonic punch!"

Then with a roar from Huo Jue, the Parasol Mushroom turned into a white light and approached the bear apprentice, and was about to smash down at the bear apprentice with a sleeping sonic punch. It was conceivable that the damage after being hit was not a big deal, but if he fell into a sleeping state, he would be passive.

"Well done, Disciple Bear, your Ice Fist!"

Lin Shi had anticipated the opponent's attack. His bear disciple smashed the ground with both fists, and cold air instantly burst out. A layer of solid thin ice quickly covered the entire venue, restricting the movement of the Parasol Mushroom.

The opponent wanted to win with the speed of sonic punches, so Lin Shi naturally couldn't let him do that, but Huo Jue and Parasitic Mushroom were not ordinary people. Facing the approaching thin ice, Parasitic Mushroom punched out, and his arm quickly stretched out and hit the ice surface.

"Snapped!"

In an instant, ice chips flew everywhere, and the ice surface on the battlefield began to crack rapidly, then splashed outwards.

"Hmph... so petty... no, be careful..."

Before Huo Jue could finish his words, he suddenly discovered that his apprentice Bear had disappeared from the spot. Relying on the cover of the broken ice, his apprentice Bear had leaped up and landed above the Parasol Mushroom.

"Lulu."

The Parasol mushroom reacted very quickly. He flicked his arm lightly and rich mushroom spores gushed out, forming a layer of powder shield in front of him. If the bear disciple dared to touch it, he would fall into sleep.

"Fire Fist!"

But the bear apprentice obviously would not give it such an opportunity. He raised his right fist high and a fierce flame surged out like a fire dragon descending from the sky, swallowing the powder and the parasol mushroom in one gulp.

"Oh!"

The close-range attack left the Parasol mushroom with no way to avoid it. The fierce flames corroded its body. By the time the aftermath of the attack faded away, it had already fallen to the ground covered in wounds, having lost its ability to fight.

Apprentice Bear won!

The fall of the Parasaurolophus completely opened the curtain for Lin Shi and his apprentice Bear to challenge all the gyms in the region. The Jingu gym was just the beginning. Huo Jue took out a new Poké Ball, and his apprentice Bear was still full of fighting spirit...

……

The journey to challenge the gym is boring. In order to pursue speed, Lin Shi inevitably flies directly to various cities to challenge, so he only has a quick visit to each city.

Of course, after each battle, Disciple Bear would be left with plenty of time to rest and review. Lin would challenge a gym every four or five days. This would ensure efficiency while also preventing Disciple Bear from accumulating hidden injuries due to fierce battles.

As the plan progressed, the fierce battles left a deep impression on Lin Shi.

South China, Chanshan City, Chanshan Taoist Temple.

Apprentice Bear's opponent is a war dancer who is proficient in kicking skills. This kind of elf can perform leg skills in a whirlwind-like manner in an inverted posture, and is as sharp and powerful as a giant gyroscope.

What's even more peculiar is that the opponent has also integrated Chanshan City's famous shadowless kick martial arts and skills, reaching an extremely high level. One kick is a continuous attack.

Even when the bear apprentice used the ability to see through and predict its trajectory, he was unable to keep up with its next move. At such a fast speed, each of its attacks was like a combination of dozens or hundreds of attacks, so densely packed that they were impossible to avoid.

In this battle, Apprentice Bear developed his seeing-through skill to the extreme, and the solid bottleneck that had almost reached its limit finally began to loosen in such a battle.

Apprentice Bear's "See Through" has a stronger super vision, and can predict the opponent's attack route more subtly and for a long time. It is precisely relying on the breakthrough of this skill that Apprentice Bear was able to exhaust Zhan Wulang's physical strength and seize the opportunity to defeat his opponent.

……

Central China, Xiangyang City, Xiangyang Dojo.

At the foot of Wudang Mountain, the birthplace of Taoism, Lin Shi and his disciple Xiong encountered a powerful opponent in the Taoist temple here.

This colorful Brikaron, although almost the least popular Pokémon among the three starter Pokémons, its strength should not be underestimated. This Brikaron has extremely strong defensive capabilities, and skillfully combines the spike defense skill with Tai Chi from traditional Wudang martial arts.

Every time the bear apprentice attacked, he would be easily neutralized by Brickalon, and then be wounded by the bear apprentice's defensive spikes, like a hedgehog with no blind spots. Even though the bear apprentice's ability to see through things had evolved, he still had no way to bite him.

In the end, Apprentice Xiong, who was almost forced into a desperate situation, finally further realized the violent power of defeating the enemy with one blow, and the Bajiquan he had been practicing made another breakthrough. After Apprentice Xiong stimulated the legendary power, all kinds of power gathered in one punch, and he actually performed a skill similar to a castrated version of "Dark Strike".

Finally, he broke through Bricklon's defense with his whole strength and successfully defeated this powerful enemy. He was almost exhausted after the match, but it was also because of this battle that the bear apprentice mastered stronger attack capabilities.

……

Disciple Xiong was undoubtedly very powerful, especially after he had fought and defeated numerous opponents. For a while, Lin Shi and Disciple Xiong even had the feeling that “all heroes in the world are just like him”.

After all, the bear apprentice who possesses the powerful "seeing through" ability almost has the strongest means of defense. His foresight has made him invincible. And the bear apprentice who has comprehended the castrated version of the Dark Fist has greatly improved his attack ability, and he has even killed his opponents with one blow many times.

It was during this period that Lin Shi and Disciple Xiong came to another city to take on a challenge.

Central China, Tianzhong City, Shaolin Temple.

That’s right, this time Lin Shi did not go to challenge the gym, but came to the famous Shaolin Temple that he had longed for.

The saying that all martial arts in the world originated from Shaolin is very valuable. Since the advent of the elf secret realm and the invasion of elves that changed the world, this famous martial arts holy land has also changed.

Of course, Lin Shi would not miss such a place. This was the next challenge location he chose for his apprentice Bear...
