Chapter 287: Fire Chicken's Wave Missile, Black Satoshi Was Recognized!

Tie Xuan: Black Satoshi really, not even a drop of water spared, actually still want to get a two-for-one, Qianli, what do you think now?

Qianli wouldn't bother with this Tie Xuan, who Black Satoshi has made show signs of turning dark.

Ma Zhishi isn't exactly a good bird either; he mainly just wants to watch the excitement.

Ma Zhishi: Cough cough, Ash, what do you think?

Ash also ignored him.

The whole chat had no one speaking; just the two of them were talking, making it a bit awkward.

On the battlefield, Fire Chicken charged over using Fire Kick, Tile Break, and Double Kick, but couldn't significantly breach Leave King's defense.

The Leave King before them displayed a posture completely different from usual, showing no laziness at all, but rather abnormal excitement, with eyes flashing with the light of battle.

It withstood two bursts of Fire Chicken's Flamethrower and even blocked its close-combat attacks.

"Why is Dad's Leave King so excited?" Misty noticed the Leave King's abnormality, her mind full of doubt.

Before, watching Leave King fight other challengers never got this excited; but when fighting Fire Chicken, it was especially serious, giving a hundred percent of its power.

"Leave King is the strongest of your dad's Pokémon; usually against some trainers, it doesn't exert much power, but today facing Fire Chicken, it must have felt a long-lost pressure, so it's eager to battle Fire Chicken to its heart's content."

"Fire Chicken, Flamethrower!"

On the field, Fire Chicken nimbly jumped back and forth, only making ranged attacks on Leave King.

Fire Chicken's power is somewhat inferior to Leave King's, and Leave King's defense is high, so its close-combat moves have hardly any effect on Leave King.

"Hyper Beam."

Extremely destructive energy gathered in its mouth, Leave King shot out toward Fire Chicken, directly meeting Fire Chicken's Flamethrower that surged like a fire dragon.

Flamethrower couldn't match Hyper Beam.

"Jump!" Ash's eyes glowed blue; it was time to use the trained move!

Fire Chicken's legs exerted force, its whole body quickly leapt up, dodging Hyper Beam, and its eyes also glowed blue.

Under Ash's careful training, Fire Chicken has become proficient in using the Wave Guide Power passed from Ash.

A blue-tinged, formless energy began to gather in its hands, gradually forming a Wave Missile compressed to the size of a basketball.

"Sure enough, we've mastered the Wave Missile!" Brock's eyes lit up; the Wave Missile he had painstakingly practiced for so long was finally unleashed.

"Wave Missile!"

Fire Chicken hurled the Wave Missile at Leave King, just as Leave King unleashed Hyper Beam, its body restricted, unable to move.

Boom!

Leave King forcibly took the Wave Missile, its body instantly flying backward.

【A Si: Fire Chicken can also use Wave Missile? How did it learn?】

【Yaxuan: All things have wave guide; Ash himself possesses Wave Guide Power, can guide Fire Chicken to also master wave guide, but it's relatively laborious and demands a lot from the Pokémon.】

【Cai Dou: No wonder Fire Chicken's Wave Missile has greater power; it turns out it also mastered wave guide, I wonder how it compares to Water Arrow Turtle!】

【Wudou: It probably can't match Water Arrow Turtle; acquired cannot surpass innate!】

It can also use Wave Missile, but its power doesn't seem like what an ordinary Wave Missile possesses......

Qianli was very surprised by the power of the Wave Missile Fire Chicken unleashed.

Leave King was still standing firm, but not as composed as before, with a hint of embarrassment.

A flash of excitement crossed its eyes.

It charged straight up and engaged Fire Chicken in close combat, using True Qi Fist, Thunder Fist, and Earthquake.

Fire Chicken was similar, using a jump to launch a Wave Missile in midair, preventing Leave King from using Earthquake.

The two Pokémon fought each other, each sustaining different injuries.

"Fire Chicken, Leave King, you both gotta give it your all!" Xiaosheng cheered for both Pokémon at the same time.

Misty said nothing, quietly watching Ash; just by looking at her expression, one could tell her inner self was completely unsettled, even said to be turbulent.

"Young people are really impressive!" Meijinzi admired Ash, thinking that the boyfriend Misty found was too strong.

Qianli felt great pressure; now Leave King and Fire Chicken alike have suffered many wounds, and the next move will decide the outcome.

"This is the final move, Leave King, use True Qi Fint!"

"Fire Chicken, let's use Wave Missile!"

True Qi Fist and Wave Missile collided, a blast-generated air wave surged outward, both were flung out and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Hiss~"

Fire Chicken's fighting spirit was high; exerting all its strength, it barely managed to prop itself up from the ground, its body covered in wounds, staring at the likewise fallen Leave King not far away.

Leave King didn't rise like Fire Chicken did; it had already exhausted its stamina, a brief struggle, and then collapsed to the ground.

Leave King lost its ability to battle!

As the referee announced the match result, Ash and Pikachu cheered and immediately ran toward Fire Chicken.

Fire Chicken also relaxed, dropping to one knee, really unable to hold on!

"Fire Chicken, we won!"

Ash restored Fire Chicken's stamina, "You're amazing, you did great!"

Fire Chicken nodded in response, bumped fists with Pikachu.

"Awesome!"

Qianli presented the Badge to Ash, patted his shoulder, "Now I know why Misty could get those sash badges so quickly—it's thanks to your urging!"

"No no, it's because Misty herself is very interested in the Pokémon Grand Festival; I just gave her some battle tips, mainly because Misty herself is willing to spend time learning, and her Pokémon partners are also willing to join her in competitions."

Ash spoke truthfully, "Really not much to do with me at most, just sparring with Misty."

"Congratulations!" Misty approached, her smile restrained.

Xiaosheng also shouted, but after that there was still an honorific.

Everyone paused; this guy is really too bold, huh?

"Ouch!" Xiaosheng ate a chestnut, covered his head and begged for mercy; hitting him that hard must be his sister.

He glanced at the scarlet-faced Xiaoxia; Xiaosheng's eyes rolled as he thought, "My sister really is thin-skinned."

"Ash, congratulations on getting your Badge!" Meizi said with a smile, her hands resting on Misty's shoulders, and added: "Those two siblings must have given you quite a bit of trouble on the journey, huh? They're both first-time travelers, so it's lucky they're with you; otherwise, who knows what chaos they'd cause."

"Well then, from now on I'll leave them to you!"

"Mom, I don't really need looking after anymore!" Xiaosheng said, lifting his head.

"You don't need it, but I want to take you along to make up the numbers..." Meizi ignored him.

Ash also didn't understand Meizi's meaning, nodded seriously in agreement, and looked at the flushed-faced Misty.

"Then I'll entrust them to you; take good care of them!"

Meizi's meaning was to look after Misty, while Xiaosheng could just take it easy—he's still young, so a bit more training and enduring some hardship would be fine.

"This is recognition of Ash!"

Misty gazed at the Black Light Screen, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

The Black World got off to a good start, basically without any conflicts, and the relationship heated up quickly. She and Ash would sometimes argue.

"I also approve, but you're not putting in effort, and you haven't expressed your feelings to Ash, so you can't take things further like in the Black World!"

Meizi said softly.

"I also wanted to say, but at that time Ash's eyes were only on Poké Balls—he was so dense... Misty felt a bit weary."

Misty suddenly realized someone wanted to private chat with her—it was Ash's mom, Huazi!
