Chapter 23: Satoshi vs. Shinji, Professor Yamanashi's Proposal

"Is this the future senior brother?"

Looking at the normally developed little flame monkey with a somewhat nervous expression on the field, Xiaoyun's mind began to become active, and he stared at this seemingly ordinary little flame monkey with a bit of eagerness.

Apart from Shinji, only he knows the great potential contained in this little flame monkey. If he can fully utilize his fierce flames, this little guy will be able to beat the divine beast.

If Shinji hadn't seen his abilities, this little flame monkey would have been abandoned by Shinji long ago just because of his timid personality.

"Oh?"

Feeling that someone was staring at it, the little flame monkey turned its head to look in the direction of Xiaoyun, and Xiaoyun gave it a kind smile in return.

This made the little flame monkey a little curious about the boy. It was clearly the first time they met, but why did the boy give it the feeling that he had known it for a long time?

In fact, what the little Flame Monkey didn't know was that the boy was already thinking about how to trick it away from Shinji.

"Longtail Monster Hand, use Focused Smash."

"Don't look around, the claws will break it"

Shinji scolded the little flame monkey looking at Xiaoyun, thinking to himself that what a slack guy he was, he actually dared to be distracted during the battle. If it weren't for that power, he would never have tamed this little flame monkey.

"Jiji."

The little Flame Monkey was a little scared after being scolded by Shinji, but he still rushed forward using his sharp claws to interrupt the concentrated attack of the Long-Tailed Monster Hand.

When Xiaozhi saw that Longtail's attack was interrupted, he began to change his moves and used High-Speed ​​Star to lock on Infernape.

Because High-Speed ​​Star is a sure-hit skill that is difficult to dodge, Shinji lets Flame use Sparks to counter it.

After the skills were canceled out, Xiaozhi was about to let Longtailed Crawl use Concentrated Slam to attack, but Shinji ordered Infernape to use Flame Wheel to hit Longtailed Crawl first.

Just when Shinji was about to have Infernape use the Flame Wheel to deal the final blow to Longtailed Gargoyle, Satoshi had a sudden idea and used Longtailed Gargoyle's tail to bounce away and then charged a concentrated attack in the air to end the battle.

"What a useless guy! He still can't stimulate that power." Shinji said with some disappointment after taking back the little Flame Monkey.

"Why is this person like this? The little flame monkey is obviously trying hard to help him fight."

Xiaoguang said this with some indignation when she saw that Shinji not only did not comfort Flame after its failure but also complained to it.

"Indeed, this aspect is indeed a bit strict. But now it is their own Pokémon and we have no right to interfere." Xiaoyun spread his hands helplessly and said.

"Electric Monster, prepare for battle."

"The last one is up to you, Pikachu."

At this time, Shinji and Xiaozhi on the field released their last Pokémon at the same time.

The next thing Shinji sent out was an electric monster with a yellow body representing lightning and a head like a charger.

On the other hand, Ash sent out his ace Pokémon, Pikachu.

"E."

"Pickup."

With the appearance of Electabuzz and Shockley, the battle between electric Pokémon began.

"Pikachu, one hundred thousand volts."

However, Xiaozhi started to test it by using the 100,000 volts that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

"Pika!" Electricity began to accumulate in Pikachu's cheeks, and then a powerful 100,000 volts of electricity hit the electric monster.

But Shinji had no intention of letting the electric monster dodge and instead took it head-on. It was not known whether Pikachu was acting or the electric monster was too strong, but after taking a 100,000 volt attack, the electric monster was almost unharmed and even looked at Pikachu with a provocative look.

"Thunder!" Shinji then commanded calmly.

"E-li!" After hearing the words, the electric monster kept shaking its arms, and then the head that was like a charger began to gather electricity continuously, and then a lightning bolt suddenly fell from the sky and hit Pikachu.

Although Ash was surprised by the defense of the Electric Shocker, he did not let Pikachu take the thunder directly. He then had Pikachu use Lightning Flash to get close to the enemy, and Shinji also had the Electric Shocker use Light Wall to block.

boom!

After a battle, Xiaozhi finally seized the opportunity and quickly ordered Pikachu to approach with Iron Tail. Shinji ordered the electric monster to block Iron Tail with the tile splitting, and used his other hand to attack with Thunder Fist.

However, our little Pi will not be hit easily.

"Pickup!"

Then Pikachu started to show off its skills. It turned around flexibly and used its iron tail to shock the electric monster away. Then it did a 360-degree rotation in the air and hit the electric monster with its iron tail again.

But the electric monster was not willing to be outdone. He gritted his teeth and endured the iron tail, then used his right hand to charge the lightning fist and hit Xiao Pi. As the two sides' skills hit each other, finally the electric monster and Xiao Pi both fell to the ground.

Shinji didn't say anything but silently took back the electric monster. After a while, he said to Xiaozhi who was holding Pikachu in his arms: "I lost this game."

"In the previous battle, the electric monster fell to the ground first. I have to say that your Pikachu is indeed special. It is more flexible in executing orders and has rich experience."

"But, that's all. I won't lose the next fight."

Although he still had a Mukor to continue fighting, the arrogant Shinji refused to acknowledge this victory and directly declared himself a failure.

"You are free." Then Shinji opened Mukker's Poké Ball and pressed the release button to release him.

"What are you doing! This Mk'l just won you the victory." When Xiaozhi saw Shinji releasing Pokémon again, he couldn't stand it anymore and started questioning Shinji loudly.

"Nothing. Although it just won, it didn't meet my expectations. My resources are limited and there is no need to continue training it."

Shinji said with an unchanged expression that for him, if a Pokémon has no value in training, he will just release it. He does not have the extra resources to keep a Pokémon for nothing.

"Dr. Yamanashi, I'll take my leave now." Ignoring Satoshi who continued to talk, Shinji walked up to Dr. Yamanashi, bowed and prepared to say goodbye.

"Wait a minute Shinji, would you mind having another Pokémon battle?"

"Pokémon battle, who is the opponent?" Shinji did not refuse, and first asked Professor Yamanashi whether there was a need to fight.

"Xiaoyun, come here." Dr. Yamanashi called Xiaoyun to come forward and indicated that it was you.

"Okay, Doctor." Xiao Yun was a little confused when he found himself eating the melon, but he still walked forward. He was not afraid of such a fight anyway.

"Him? Doctor, do you want me to fight him?" Shinji looked at the boy who was watching nearby and was a little confused as to why he wanted me to fight a stranger.

"That's right, Xiaoyun. I think you two are similar in some ways, but also different, so I proposed this battle. But it's okay, just do it voluntarily, there's no need to force it."

Dr. Yamanashi is also curious if it is Xiaoyun who can make Shinji change a little?

"Since it's the doctor who proposed it, I accept it. But I'm curious about what it is about you that makes the doctor value you so much?" Shinji agreed with Dr. Yamanashi's proposal, but still looked at Xiaoyun with some disdain on his cold face and said.

"Ala, I feel underestimated. In that case, do you mind if I set the rules of the game?"

Xiaoyun saw Shinji looking at him with a hint of disdain on his face, and an idea arose in his mind and he said to him.

"What rules?"

"You have traveled to other places before, right?" Xiaoyun felt that there was some doubt in Shinji's cold face, so she continued:

"The rules are 1v1. You can use your old Pokémon. There are no requirements and no referee is needed. Whoever reaches the ground first loses, and the loser must agree to a request from the other party. How do you do it?"

"Interesting. I'll do as you say. I hope your ability won't disappoint me. Don't just talk big."

After hearing the rules of the game, Shinji's expression began to become serious. He changed the Poké Ball in his hand and put away the disdain on his face when he looked at Xiaoyun.

Only at this moment did he begin to seriously look at the young man in front of him, who was not much different from him in age, wearing black clothes and having black eyes.
