Now the contestants are entering the arena⊥⊥Mountain⊥Let's welcome the fighting machine known as Hitmonchan and his trainer, Karate Master⊥
The competition has begun. Both Ash and Brock have signed up for this tournament. Of course, Ash is now very curious to see how Brock's Geodude is going to get beaten up next. After all, this is a damn fighting tournament—bringing a Rock-type is practically asking for trouble, isn't it? Go!
However, after taking another look at Sable's Hitmonchan, Ash nodded in approval. The dark injuries on Hitmonchan's body had already healed. So now, when it came time to fight, he could let Primeape go all out and give it a good beating without any reservations.
Then, Ash turned his attention to the second group of candidates. With a numb expression, he said to the Primeape beside him, "Later, let's go together and give Hitmonlee's trainer a good thrashing..."
"Roar?" (What's up?)
Ash looked at the clearly Team Rocket-made human pyramid with speechlessness, while also feeling like everyone needed an eye check right about now.
Just as Ash was left speechless, the announcer finished introducing Brock.
"Next up is... Oh! The general boss of the Pokémon Center Hotel, Mr. Ash Ketchum, and his Primeape!"
Thank you very much, Da Chi L_
Ash had already sponsored it at the time? Just as Ash was lost in thought, Pikachu pulled out a form. Meowth also whispered, "Boss, you forgot. This grand competition was indeed sponsored by us, and it was also meant to find promising talents for the security department, meow."
"Oh, I remember now. Because the sponsorship fee was less than a fraction of my pocket money, so I didn't really keep it in mind."
Then Ash and Primeape made their entrance, and thanks to the commentator's earlier introduction, Ash received an enthusiastic welcome as soon as he appeared.
After all, those who came here were all passionate about martial arts. They were quite grateful towards people.
Meanwhile, Jessie and the others watched Ash with speechless expressions, still remembering the scene where Primeape had beaten someone up—something that a Hitmonlee wouldn't be able to withstand.
Jessie: "Damn it, that brat is actually here. Looks like we need to make some preparations."
Meowth: "Agreed, meow.."
James: "Hey, can we switch places or something?."
Two-two dividing line - one
"『First Round』: Primeape vs. Machop"
After observing the opposing Machop, Ash said to Primeape: "That Machop is well-trained. Its strength is outstanding. Let's rely on speed attacks for this battle."
"Roaring Mountain"
Work⊥T⊥_J⊥
"Arm Strength Using Bare Hands to Chop!"
"Muscle!"
Watching the Machop charge towards the Primeape... Ash directly said, "Follow the plan!"
"Roar!?"
Primeape followed Ash's advice and didn't attack directly, instead relying on its footwork to continuously dodge Machop's strikes while also secretly gathering energy.
It used Focus Energy, its eyes locked intently on Machop.
"Damn it. This Primeape is completely different from the usual ones!"
The trainer of Machop also noticed Primeape's difference, but there was nothing he could do—Ash's Primeape was too agile. It effortlessly dodged every powerful attack from Machop. Seizing an opportunity, Ash's Primeape quickly closed in and struck Machop's vital spot with a punch.
"Machop!"
The pained Machop hesitated for a moment. Seeing Primeape's successful attack, Ash shouted, "Now! Fury Swipes!"
"Roar!"
Although Primeape's hands now resemble boxing gloves, it evolved from a Mankey after all. The ability to scratch and claw is something it could never forget. As Primeape unleashed a flurry of scratches, Machop clearly began to falter from exhaustion. Seeing this, Ash didn't hesitate and shouted, "Throw the ball!"
"Roar!"
"Oh no!"
Machop's trainer knew it was over when Machop didn't respond or come back. Primeape then grabbed Machop, whose face was caught and couldn't open its eyes, and executed a Seismic Toss.
"Machop..."
The massive impact completely drained the already injured Machop, leaving it unable to get back up.
"Oh oh oh! Primeape overwhelms Machop with a torrential downpour of attacks!"
"You've worked hard, Primeape... Take a break and have some drink."
Seeing the drink Ash prepared for it, Primeape nodded happily.
