Chapter 62: Black Satoshi Lacks Martial Virtue

Xiaoxia: Jet Turtle inherently has wave talent, often trains; recently seeing Flame Dragon evolve, Wonder Seed Frog became stronger, it trained even harder, so I think Jet Turtle being able to use a water gun comparable to Water Cannon is also somewhat reasonable.

Luluina: After watching for so long, I also feel that anything Black Satoshi does feels quite normal.

Looking at the Jet Turtle wearing glasses and standing with hands on hips inside the Black Light Screen, exuding a big brother's aura, Ash recalled when he challenged Xia Bo back then, the Jet Turtle had been defeated by the attribute-reversed Nine Tails, the water gun couldn't match the Nine Tails' fire vortex, whereas Black Satoshi here reversed it, taking down the Nine Tails in one move.

Is Ash's Jet Turtle that strong?

Shalina looked at that water gun blast, thinking her Poké Ball would probably be taken out instantly as well.

Shitron and Youlija looked on in amazement; Ash's previous Poké Ball is truly strong!

"The attribute showdown is your win!"

Xia Bo recalled the Nine Tails and then sent out the Drill Horn Rhino.

?

The Nine Tails lost, so why send out the Drill Horn Rhino? It's even more afraid of water than the Nine Tails.

Brock looked at the Drill Horn Rhino before him, feeling he could probably withstand two water gun blasts from the Jet Turtle.

"Jet Turtle, come back!"

Ash recalled the Jet Turtle and sent out the Big Pincer Crab that had recently returned from training with Professor Da Mu.

No, the Big Pincer Crab recently evolved and is now called Giant Pincer Crab.

The Giant Pincer Crab's body is only red on the head and pincers, the rest is white.

Its head is covered in protrusions, and the left pincer is much larger.

"Cough~"

The Giant Pincer Crab looked at the Drill Horn Rhino ahead, its pincers clicking, finally it's my turn to strike.

Although it evolved, the Giant Pincer Crab's size increased a bit, but facing the Drill Horn Rhino, it's still insufficient; the Giant Pincer Crab's size is only half that of the Drill Horn Rhino.

"Go! Giant Pincer Crab."

Ash pointed at the Drill Horn Rhino, "Let the Drill Horn Rhino see your strength."

The Giant Pincer Crab released a Foam Light Beam toward the Drill Horn Rhino.

Fortunately, the Giant Pincer Crab's Foam Light Beam is not like the Jet Turtle's water gun.

Xia Bo breathed a sigh of relief, "Drill Horn Rhino, Straight Drill."

The Drill Horn Rhino charged forward swiftly, while spinning its body at high speed, like a steel drill thrown with full force, its sharp horn glinting with cold light.

The Foam Light Beam came from the side, falling like continuous fine rain on the Drill Horn Rhino's body, merely slowing its advance.

The Drill Horn Rhino seemed indifferent to these attacks, still maintaining high-speed rotation, pressing forward fearlessly.

The Giant Pincer Crab dodged to the side.

"Terrifying face!"

Xia Bo looked at Ash, "Now you shouldn't be able to dodge, right?"

"No need to dodge at all."

Ash had a countermeasure; since speed was reduced, he simply didn't need speed, directly facing the Drill Horn Rhino head-on.

What's going on now, surely he won't pull off a move like the Jet Turtle's ultimate technique!

Xia Bo muttered a complaint in his mind, a smile appearing on his face.

"Drill Horn Rhino, Arm Hammer."

The Drill Horn Rhino stepped with heavy footsteps, pressing toward the Giant Pincer Crab like a mountain, its right arm enveloped in a dazzling white light, the arm instantly swelling, becoming as thick as a stone pillar, and it slammed down hard on the Giant Pincer Crab.

With a boom, the Giant Pincer Crab was hit, but the struck Giant Pincer Crab instantly vanished.

"Huh? Substitute!"

Xia Bo startled, realizing it was already too late, seeing the Giant Pincer Crab appear behind the Drill Horn Rhino, its pair of huge pincers wrapped in surging water, it threw a punch toward the Drill Horn Rhino.

Bang!

"Bang!" a huge roar, the Giant Pincer Crab's pincer struck the Drill Horn Rhino's back like a cannonball.

The Drill Horn Rhino's massive body crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up dust; having taken that punch from the Giant Pincer Crab, it indeed fell unconscious.

This punch is four-times effective; even taking it head-on would be impossible.

"Nice kid, playing Substitute so stealthily."

Xia Bo laughed and scolded, feeling truly bitter inside, actually being tricked by a teenager.

Xiaoxia didn't even see the Giant Pincer Crab using Substitute.

【Xia Bo: You little brat, still playing Substitute! Black Satoshi lacks martial virtue, targeting me, an old man over sixty, is this really okay?】

【Xiba: The intention is too obvious, yet Black Satoshi anticipated it; Giant Pincer Crab's Crab Arm Hammer is truly strong!】

【Qibaina: It's not about the Pokémon move, it's Black Satoshi's tactics; they've started playing this stealthily, I can't even tell when Giant Pincer Crab uses Substitute; if used too early people notice, if too late both the real body and substitute get hit, his timing is truly spot-on!】

【Shitron: Is it Wave Guide Power?!】

【Xiluona: Not entirely, it's about grasping the battle timing; Wave Guide Power is just auxiliary for Black Satoshi, more important is his intuition.】

【Da Ye: Truly frightening, if such a Trainer grows up, who knows what level they'll reach!】

"Three battles, Ash has already won two, the Crimson Badge is in hand!"

Xiaoxia held up Celebi, sharing the joy with Celebi.

"Gym Leader Xia Bo, there's still one battle; could you let that Poké Ball down there come up to battle my Flame Dragon?"

Ash released the Flame Dragon; not only did Ash feel that scorching aura, the Flame Dragon also sensed it.

Xia Bo felt full of curiosity toward Ash; this teenager's combat prowess is impressive, and he even knows his old partner, truly not simple!

"Sure, come out, Duckbill Fire Beast!"

Just as the words fell, the magma below surged up, and a Duckbill Fire Beast leapt out from the magma.

"What a powerful Duckbill Fire Beast!"

Ash's eyes flickered with surprise; although the Platypus Fire Beast looked silly and didn't have much of a strong aura, its presence gave Ash a great sense of oppression.

"Haha, it's my old partner!"

Uncle Xia watched Ash, finding him more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Platypus Fire Dragon, spew fire!"

"We also use fire spewing!"

Two scorching flames collided violently in the air, instantly erupting with thick smoke and a deafening roar.

"Now, Rocket Hammer!"

Uncle Xia's voice rang out amid the smoke.

The Platypus Fire Beast surged out from the exploding smoke.

"Straight ahead, Dragon Claw!"

The Fire Dragon roared, looking at the fiery red head that darted out from the explosion smoke, its extended claws slammed hard into the Platypus Fire Beast's Rocket Hammer.
