"Your skill is called Fist of Wrath. Its power increases if you take damage, and at its maximum, it can even surpass the power of self-destruction," Xiao Mao said.
"Miro!" Infernape was surprised. It had just awakened Rage Punch and didn't understand its effects. It didn't expect it to have such an effect.
"Miro!"
The fiery monkey immediately called out to the group who were training, "You all have to come and beat me this afternoon."
Blastoise and the others were completely bewildered, wondering what had gotten into Magma that made it want them to fight it. This was an unheard-of request.
"Don't rush. I'm telling you this because the Fist of Wrath is related to whether you can evolve to your final form," Xiao Shi said.
"Miro!!" Infernape was shocked; it actually had an evolved form.
There are currently no wild Abandoned Monkeys in the Kanto region because the evolution of Abandoned Monkeys is too difficult. They can only evolve with a certain probability in the hands of a trainer, and wild Abandoned Monkeys are basically non-existent.
The evolution method requires Abomination to use Rage Punch 20 times in a row. In the wild, what Pokémon can make Abomination use Rage Punch 20 times in a row without being defeated?
Furthermore, although Magmaaque has a fiery temper, it's not stupid. When battling a Normal-type Pokémon, it wouldn't use Rage Punch 20 times if it didn't work.
In the wild, there is only one possibility that makes a Minnow use Rage Punch 20 times in a row: it enters a state of confusion. A confused Pokémon will act erratically and has a certain chance of using Rage Punch 20 times in a row, but this chance is infinitely close to zero.
"Miro! Miro!" Infernape immediately asked what else it could evolve into, wanting to see what it would look like after evolving.
"We don't have this photo yet, but he looks very handsome," Xiao Mao said.
The Abandoned Monkey is very handsome, with a Kun-kun hairstyle and the most popular gray-white fur color. Girls will definitely like it.
"Miro!" Upon hearing that it sounded cool, Primeape didn't hesitate any longer and wanted to evolve immediately.
Seeing that Primalsa had no objections, Gary explained earnestly, "According to the descriptions of many trainers of Forsaken, Primalsa's evolution into Forsaken is related to Rage Punch, which is Primalsa's exclusive move."
"This skill can convert the anger within you into skills and release them. And depending on your physical characteristics, each time you are attacked, the anger within you will increase, like this."
boom! !
Xiao Mao punched the Fire Monkey on the head.
"Miro!"
The Infernape was furious, but it held back because Gary was its trainer.
"Based on the conclusions reached by those trainers, and after my analysis, for Infernape to evolve into Forsaken, it needs to use Rage Punch repeatedly in an extreme state of anger, and then it will have a chance to evolve," Gary said.
"Migration?" Primeape looked puzzled. Was the evolution process really that simple?
“Simple? Do you think any of the Pokémon I have can withstand your Wrathful Fist when you’re in a rage?” Gary said.
The Infernape was stunned. It wasn't the strongest in the team, but it wasn't weak either. Even Gary's Blastoise couldn't withstand its punches continuously.
Not to mention the Furious Punch when it's in a fit of rage, which is as powerful as a self-destruction. Even if all of Blue's Pokémon came together, let alone Blastoise, they wouldn't be able to stop Magmar's Furious Punch.
"Mi lo? (What should we do?)"
"Although it's difficult, there are ways. Rage Punch is a Ghost-type move, which is ineffective against Normal-type Pokémon. So, when you fight against Normal-type moves, you just need to keep yourself in the Rage state and not lose control, and then use other moves," said Shigeru.
"Miro...!" Infernape froze; this request was a bit too difficult.
When Infernape is extremely angry, it becomes confused and only thinks about killing its opponent. It doesn't consider what moves it will use and basically just uses whatever moves it has.
"Don't worry, I'll have Sabrina help me. She'll use a spell to seal the Stone Sharp attack, so when you want to attack Pidgey, only Rage Punch will be able to hit you," Gary said.
"Miro!"
The fiery monkey nodded. Since we have a method, what are we waiting for? Let's get started!
"No rush, you do your physical training first, we'll talk about it when Natsumi and the others arrive," Xiao Mao said.
"Miggle."
The fiery monkey nodded, laced up its shoes onto the forced exercise machine, and began its morning physical training.
About half an hour later, Sabrina, Brock, and Ash arrived. They had agreed the night before to train Zubat in hypnosis.
"Shigeru, you've started training Pokémon so early." Ash was startled when he saw Shigeru and immediately walked over. When he saw the Pokémon Shigeru released, he was stunned.
"Ash, you have a Pidgeotto too."
Ash was surprised to see Pidgeotto; he hadn't expected Gary to have a Pokémon like himself.
Chapter 74: The Potential of All Members as Superstars
"Little Shigeru, you even have a Growlithe?"
Ash was immediately intrigued when he saw Growlithe, and Officer Jenny from the Kanto region even brought Growlithe on patrol.
Children all dream of being police officers, punishing evil and promoting good, so they naturally like Growlithe, which is often used by police officers, and Ash is no exception.
"What is this Pokémon?" Ash saw Eevee but didn't recognize it, so he took out his Pokédex to scan it.
"Eevee, an evolving Pokémon, has the potential to evolve into various types of Pokémon."
Ash exclaimed, "So this Pokémon is called Eevee, and it has multiple evolution types. How amazing!"
"Pika! Pika!" At that moment, Pikachu tugged at Ash's trouser leg and pointed to the Pokémon that was training.
"What's wrong?" Ash looked up in confusion and noticed that Gary's Pokémon were acting strangely; they were all wearing forced training devices and undergoing training.
Ash naturally recognized these things, but he didn't know what they were called. He had seen these things before when he battled Beastmaster Desmond.
"Gary, what are those things your Pokémon are wearing?" Ash asked.
"You've been a trainer for so long, don't you even recognize these things?" Gary asked, puzzled.
"Uh..." Xiao Zhi was embarrassed, but he didn't want to admit that he didn't recognize the forced training tool.
"Xiao Zhi, these are forced training devices. You can carry them during training to enhance the training effect," Xiao Gang explained.
"Oh, I see. So this thing can be used to train Pokémon." Ash said in surprise. He had seen Demigod training Sandshrew but hadn't asked about the Forced Training Device. He never imagined that these things could have such an effect.
"You're still the same as ever. You never do any research beforehand. If you keep doing this, your Pokémon will suffer when you train them," Gary warned.
Ash never learns from his mistakes. On the one hand, he doesn't care about Pokémon, yet he's willing to risk his life for their safety. On the other hand, he often acts recklessly, which is really a headache.
"I know, I'm trying to learn." Ash is aware of this flaw of his and has been paying attention to it since becoming a Trainer.
"Then you should train your Pokémon well." Gary didn't want to say more. After all, Ash was only a 10-year-old child. If he wanted to be as mature as an adult, it wouldn't be useful to just tell him. Ash needed to grow up on his own.
"Little Gary, do you still have a forced training device?" Ash asked.
"No, if you want it, go buy it yourself." Gary immediately refused; he knew Ash very well.
Don't let Xiao Zhi's silly appearance fool you; he's a real opportunist and the kind of person who would be a coward if he didn't take advantage of a good deal.
When Xiao Mao was a child, he was often taken advantage of by this seemingly silly creature.
Although Ash grew up in a single-parent family, his father and grandfather were both formidable trainers. His grandfather has passed away, and his father has left home and never returned, but his family still has considerable assets and owns a property in Pallet Town.
However, Hanako didn't want to manage it herself, so she handed over the family business to an agency to manage it. The rent alone was enough to support Hanako and Satoshi.
They even purchased the Pokémon League Children's Training and Growth Insurance, which requires a high premium every year for 10 consecutive years. When the child turns 10, they can receive a starter Pokémon from the League, and Pokémon treatment at the Pokémon Center is free.
Only four new trainers have set off from Pallet Town this year. How could there only be four 10-year-old children in a town? Most people can't afford the growth insurance.
However, other children can also become trainers, but they don't have the starter Pokémon provided by the Pokémon League. In addition, they need to pay for treatment at the Pokémon Center out of pocket, but there is Pokémon health insurance. Trainers only need to pay 10% of the medical expenses each month.
Ash asked Gary if there were any more forced training devices, hoping to get them for free, but Gary wasn't going to fall for it.
"The forced training devices are specially designed for each type of Pokémon. If you want to use one, you can get one custom-made. They sell them at Pokémon Department Store." Gary directly thwarted Ash's idea of getting something for free.
"Can I borrow Pidgeotto's?" Ash asked.
Shigeru finally understood why Shigeru would leave immediately whenever he appeared in front of Ash, unless there was something else going on.
"Wait... I can give you the Pidgey's forced training device, but you'll have to do me a favor later," said Shigeru.
"Oh, what do you need help with, Shigeru? Just tell me, and I'll definitely help you." Hearing that there was a free forced training device available, Ash was happy to agree.
"It's nothing big, just that your Pidgey will have a spar with my Primeape later," Gary said.
"No problem." Xiao Zhi thought it was something important, but it turned out to be just a friendly sparring session, nothing more.
"It's not the kind of sparring you're thinking of. Your Pidgey will have to follow my commands," Gary reminded him.
"Huh? Why?" Ash asked, puzzled.
"You'll see when the time comes. Just tell me if you agree or not." Xiao Mao didn't want to explain.
After all, given Ash's limited intelligence, talking to him about the abandoned monkeys would probably waste a lot of Gary's breath, so it's better to let him watch from the sidelines.
"You're all up!" At this moment, Xiaoxia also rushed over. Although her Pokémon didn't need training, Xiaoxia still wanted to come and see, and also wanted Sabrina to continue hypnotizing Psyduck for hypnosis training.
"Let's start training then." Ash was determined to win; he couldn't lose to Gary in training just because he lost the battle.
So Ash released the Pokémon on his body.
Gary also saw Ash's Squirtle and Bulbasaur.
【LV32 Bulbasaur♂/Elite Four】
【LV31 Squirtle♂/Elite Four】
When Gary saw the potential of the two Pokémon, he couldn't help but purse his lips. By comparison, the average potential value of the Pokémon in Gary's hands was not as good as that of Ash.
Ash has two Pokémon with Champion potential, two with Elite Four potential, and one with near-Elite Four potential. The Infernape that he sent away is probably at least Elite Four potential. His luck is unparalleled.
Xiao Mao wasn't jealous. Luckily, he had the bronze crown from the system reward, plus one he kept from the newbie gift pack. The two bronze crowns were enough to upgrade two Pokémon with the potential to become Elite Four members.
An hour later, the elves finished their physical training.
Xiao Gang also prepared a special post-training feast for the Pokémon, as well as food for Xiao Mao and Sabrina's Pokémon.
Gary was very confident in Brock's breeding skills. Ash's Pokémon were thriving thanks in large part to Brock; not everyone could just pick up a top-notch breeder to take care of their Pokémon's daily meals for free.
Chapter 75: The Evolution Test Begins
"Alright, Incineroar, it's time for the test."
"Miro!"
After a satisfying meal and a half-hour rest, it's time to prepare for Primeape's evolution.
"Shigeru, how exactly are you going to spar?" Ash asked. In the morning, when Ash was training his Pokémon, Shigeru told Ash not to train his Pidgeotto, because he was going to spar with his Magma Monkey in the afternoon.
"Just watch closely." Gary didn't explain, but said to Ash's Pidgeotto, "Pidgeotto, just use Quick Attack on Magma Monkey later."
