Chapter 101: Battle Bird Takes on Three!

As the three Pokemon walked out of the forest, not only did Ash notice their arrival,

Even everyone and the Battle Bird noticed these three uninvited guests.

"Superpower Superpower!" I've come to reclaim my rightful place.

However, Superpower didn't know; his timing was perfect, practically a timely rain,

It directly solved Battle Bird's sole worry; once he left, the weak Pokemon had no protector.

Like Battle Bird, Superpower also hated evil and protected the weak.

Or rather, Battle Bird's current chivalrous spirit was entirely inspired by Superpower's leading by example.

Having handed over the King of the Forest's position to the other side, Battle Bird felt at ease.

"Kuccha kuccha!" You came at just the right time, so I'll return it directly to you.

"Superpower?" Is it me who has a problem, or is it you who has a problem?

Superpower once suspected his ears had a problem.

Even the Circle Bear and Construction Old Craftsman, who followed behind Superpower waiting for him to step up, were completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

"Kuccha kuccha..." I've already decided to travel with this human beside me; from now on, the safety of this forest will entirely depend on you.

Superpower scratched his head; being toyed with by Battle Bird made his long‑standing revenge training seem like a joke, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

Behind Superpower, Circle Bear and Construction Old Craftsman gritted their teeth in hatred, yet were completely helpless.

Battle Bird didn't even want the Forest King's position anymore; what could they do?

However, fortunes turned; Superpower's next sentence directly rekindled the revenge hopes of the two Pokemon.

"Superpower Superpower!" How about we fight again before you leave?

"Kuccha!?"

Battle Bird's wavering, astonished gaze turned toward Ash.

Ash, who constantly used Waveguide Power to listen, first glanced at Superpower's type.

【Pokemon】: Superpower (Male)

【Type】: Fighting

【Ability】: No Guard (Both sides' moves will always hit)

【Level】: 46

【IVs】: HP 31, Attack 31, Defense 31, Sp. Atk 5, Sp. Def 31, Speed 27,

【Base Stats】: Total 505, HP 90, Attack 130, Defense 80, Sp. Atk 65, Sp. Def 85, Speed 55,

……

At level 46, only two levels above Battle Bird, although the IVs are not to be underestimated,

but Ash also had confidence in Battle Bird, nodding, "Let's accept his challenge."

Hearing that, Battle Bird immediately nodded.

Before the two Pokemon clashed, Ash took out a black belt, wrapping it around Battle Bird's arm like an armband.

【Item】: Black Belt (Boosts Fighting‑type move power by 20%)

The reason it isn't the Sharp Bird Beak, which boosts Flying‑type move power, is because that item is currently back on Rocket Sparrow.

Additionally, Ash was thinking about whether he could lure the opponent into greed, prompting them to seize the item, thereby triggering Battle Bird's Unburden.

The battle was about to erupt,

Watching Battle Bird take his stance, Superpower swiftly extended his legs, charging at Battle Bird like an arrow,

Battle Bird likewise showed no fear, stepping forward with a lively gait.

The two Fighting‑type Pokemon, like two armored trucks, collided, each placing their palms on the other's shoulders.

To Ash's surprise, as the opponent Superpower didn't even try to snatch the Black Belt, let alone make use of his four‑arm advantage.

The two upper hands were simply in a spectator stance, overly frank.

Due to Superpower's self‑imposed restriction, the result was that neither side could gain an edge over the other.

Battle Bird then immediately unleashed a series of knife‑hand strikes, his palms swift as lightning, striking repeatedly!

Meanwhile, Superpower didn't dodge at all, spreading his four arms to take the blows head‑on with his chest.

"……Such a rare fighting style."

Finally, the memory fragments that had lain dormant in Ash for 18 years gradually awoke, reminding him of this scene.

He recalled that next, Circle Bear and Construction Old Craftsman would seize the chance to ambush Battle Bird, a combo that left him badly injured,

After the two villainous Pokemon were tricked, especially because they had recklessly intervened in his own battle, Superpower, furious, struck them down instantly!

While Ash was reminiscing,

Behind Superpower,

Circle Bear and Construction Old Craftsman saw Superpower delay his attack, and gradually grew impatient.

They exchanged a glance and struck simultaneously,

Construction Old Craftsman swung the concrete pillar in his hands and smashed it at Battle Bird, blasting him away with one blow.

Circle Bear planted his limbs on the ground, swiftly rushed to Battle Bird's side, and with a dirty swipe of his claws snatched the black ribbon from his shoulder.

At the same moment,

Almost as the Black Belt was taken away, a strange power suddenly enveloped Battle Bird's body.

The sudden change left Superpower frozen in place.

But Construction Old Craftsman and Circle Bear, who bore a long‑standing grudge against Battle Bird, would show no mercy whatsoever.

"Old Craftsman Old Craftsman!"

Builder Old Craftsman's body leapt high into the air, spinning 360 degrees, and they poured all their strength into the concrete stone pillar in their hand, smashing it downwards!

The fallen Battle Flying Bird, without a thought, darted to the side, and what astonished the Battle Flying Bird was that its speed had actually doubled.

Swift as lightning, they easily dodged Builder Old Craftsman's all-out strike.

Lowering their head in astonishment, they glanced at their own legs, and the Battle Flying Bird tentatively launched a counterattack.

They sprang forward with their legs, rushing at the still-airborne Builder Old Craftsman with a flying knee strike!

This strike gathered the Battle Flying Bird's full power!!!

Normally used, it usually has only a 90% chance to hit the opponent.

But this time, their own running speed gave the Battle Flying Bird a sudden illusion that the attack would hit with 100% accuracy,

Perhaps, it cannot even be called an illusion.

Because the attack landed solidly on Builder Old Craftsman's chin.

Almost at the moment the attack hit, Builder Old Craftsman's head bent backward 90 degrees, their chin caved in, a tearing pain shot out, and the piercing agony instantly reached their mind, their eye sockets instantly flooded with tears.

As the attack fell, the Battle Flying Bird knew well how to land lightly.

In stark contrast, the Builder Old Craftsman who was struck by the attack shot forward like a cannonball for dozens of meters, collapsing to the ground and remaining motionless for a long time.

This scene left the Circle Circle Bear, who clutched a black belt with a greedy grin on its face, utterly stunned.

It also disturbed the battle, making them feel extremely angry, wanting to step in and teach the two Pokemon's Monster Power a lesson, but they froze in place.

"What astonishing speed!"

"This is the Lightweight trait activating!"

Amidst everyone's astonishment, the enlightened Battle Flying Bird first glanced gratefully at Ash,

Then, under the Circle Circle Bear's terrified gaze, they sprang forward like lightning,

The Circle Circle Bear panicked, opening its mouth to spew a dazzling white laser—Destruction Beam!

Although the Battle Flying Bird's speed cannot reach light speed, it can nevertheless anticipate the opponent's shooting direction in advance.

Thus they easily dodged the Circle Circle Bear's retaliatory strike.

Facing the Circle Circle Bear, whose body had gone rigid and was completely unable to resist, the Battle Flying Bird showed no mercy whatsoever.

They reached out, grabbed the Circle Circle Bear, and hurled it straight at the fallen Builder Old Craftsman in the distance.

The Circle Circle Bear, weighing 250 jin, slammed into Builder Old Craftsman's body with another heavy blow, eliciting a cry of anguish from both.

After a few flashes, the Battle Flying Bird leapt onto a nearby treetop, striking a showy pose.

Their body leapt high and came crashing down!!!
