Chapter 145: Releasing and taming.

"Emperor Nabo has lost his ability to fight, so the match will be won by the combination of Shinji and Xiaozhi."

Listening to the constant discussions among the people around him, the referee announced the result with a calm expression.

What a joke. He has been a referee for so many years and has presided over all kinds of games. It was just a Pikachu's ultimate counter-kill. When he was presiding over a game in Kanto before, he saw someone use a Beedrill to quit the team. What a fuss.

"Hey, did you, Pikachu, break the rules? Why did you become so fierce all of a sudden? You have to pay a fine!"

Ah Xun was in such a rage, he had never seen such an unreasonable Pikachu.

How can a Pikachu be hit by a destruction ray and still be fine! How can a Pikachu be hit by a destruction ray and still be fine and continue to rush in against the destruction ray!

Is that still Pikachu?

This is so unreasonable!!

At this time, let alone Ajin, even Shinji's eyes looking at Xiaozhi are not right, almost asking if you are playing me? Did the little flame monkey being alive affect your output just now?

And it's not like he hasn't fought this Pikachu before. Judging from what he did before, he can only say that although he has some strength, it's not much. How did he suddenly become so powerful? Did he take drugs?

Pikachu: "Pika~" (Oh, I'm so tired~)

At this moment, Pikachu's acting skills came into play again, as if the attack just now had drained away all of its strength, and its body staggered and it suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Pikachu!" Upon seeing this, Xiaozhi hurriedly hugged Pikachu in his arms. His concerned expression made Ah Xun, who wanted to continue talking, feel embarrassed to speak. He could only leave with Kengo, who had a look of disappointment on his face.

Shinji, who was standing by, did not ask any more questions and left quietly with his hands in his pockets, but he stopped for a moment when he passed Xiaoyun.

Finally, the host Yuka announced that today's competition has ended and everyone can leave. Please rest well to prepare for tomorrow's finals.

evening.

A small forest on the outskirts of Yuanzhi City.

Shinji opened the Poké Ball containing Flame, and after a flash of red light, Flame appeared at Shinji's feet. The injuries he suffered in the battle during the day were also simply bandaged. Judging from the roughness of the bandage, it should have been done by Shinji.

Shinji just stared at it coldly, and after a while he slowly said, "You don't have to follow me anymore!"

"Oh."

As soon as these words were spoken, the little flame monkey's body could not help but tremble. He raised his head and looked at Shinji in disbelief. His expression began to become excited as if he wanted to say something.

Shinji ignored the little flame monkey and continued to speak coldly.

"I've given you enough chances, but."

Looking at the little flame monkey who lowered his head and remained silent, Shinji continued after a pause.

"You didn't catch it."

The little flame monkey lowered its head and didn't answer, or perhaps it didn't dare to speak.

Originally, it thought that because of its failure, Shinji would continue to use his "companions" to "train" it harshly as usual, and it had already gotten used to it.

But now it seems that its owner has felt that it has no use value, and it will be abandoned like the previously captured Pokémon and become a wild Pokémon again.

"Since you don't have the ability to master that power, there's no need for me to keep you around any longer."

Looking at the trainer who was getting farther and farther away from him, Flame raised his bandaged arm as if trying to grab it, but it seemed like he couldn't grab anything.

As if he had noticed the little flame monkey's actions, Shinji said self-deprecatingly in a complicated tone.

"It's ridiculous. I never thought I would waste so much time on you. Even so, you didn't even dare to face your own inner strength. You are such a weakling."

After saying this, Shinji spoke to another direction in the woods where there was no one.

"And you, have you heard enough? Come out if you have."

"Well, I'm not embarrassed to interrupt you."

After hearing that Shinji had pointed out her location, Xiaoyun slowly walked out from behind a big tree.

Shinji looked at Xiaoyun with no surprise at all, because this guy was the one he called over.

"Hmph, I keep my promise. From now on, this guy is yours."

Then Shinji snorted coldly, put one hand in his pocket, and with the other hand, casually threw the Poké Ball in his hand towards Xiaoyun, which was no different from throwing a bottle of happy water.

"Hey, don't throw it around."

Xiaoyun hurriedly took the Poké Ball and thought, this guy didn't even say hello before throwing it, how casual.

"I know you saw the potential in it. That's why I kept it by my side and trained it strictly, hoping to let it master that power through actual combat and training."

After throwing the Poké Ball over, Shinji felt annoyed when he saw Xiaoyun hurriedly taking the Poké Ball, and said that he thought Xiaoyun liked the point of Flame.

Shinji, who didn't care about the mood of the little flame monkey behind him, continued coldly: "But unfortunately, trash is trash after all. It won't change just because it has a good talent."

"When talent cannot be converted into strength, the so-called talent is nothing but an illusion."

Judging from this sentence, Shinji also recognizes the talent of Flame, otherwise he would not have kept him by his side for so long and only now had the idea of ​​releasing him.

But the weak guy Xiaoyun disagreed and looked at Shinji: "What if I can turn this mirage into reality? Will you regret giving me this little guy today?"

"How? Don't tell me what kind of partners or bonds these are, these ridiculous things."

When talking about bonds, Shinji must have thought of something, so he sneered without hesitation when he said this.

"As for regrets, if it weren't for the special fierce fire contained in this cowardly guy, I wouldn't even be able to subdue him, so how can I regret it?"

Seeing Shinji ruling out the normal options for the next move, Xiaoyun sighed and said:

"What if this is what they call a bond?"

"Then prove it to me!"

Shinji's tone was still as cold, but he unconsciously raised his voice when he said this.

"Although I lost to you, I don't think you defeated me by using the so-called bond. Don't tell me that your Pokémon's strength came out by playing house with them."

"Even though we talk about so-called bonds, doesn't it still take rigorous training to turn them into strength?"

"In that case, why not just start training right from the beginning?"

"Bond? Humph."

"That kind of thing...is just a drag that affects your judgment at a critical moment."
