Chapter 328 Dr. Shirabuchi: Strength? Technique? Pokémon Teamwork?
The scene shifts, this time focusing on Ah Si.
Beside him stood a boy with a bright, sunny smile—Ash.
Before the audience could react to this strange combination, Ash walked up to a special rock and examined it.
Then--
Stand still, lower your waist, twist your body, and throw a punch!
The movements were executed in one smooth motion!
boom!
A loud bang!
The special stone shattered instantly, breaking into four or five easily transportable fragments!
Xiao Zhi easily withdrew his fist and patted the dust off his hands.
Then, he easily hoisted the largest pieces of gravel onto his shoulder, humming a song, and walked briskly home.
Only Ah Si remained, petrified on the spot, bewildered in the wind.
"Quick! Give me a slap! Was I dreaming?! Did that kid just smash that rock to pieces with his fist?!"
"Is this even human?! If that punch landed on me—my health insurance card would be in immediate debt!"
"Master?! Didn't he say to Ah Si, 'I'm going back to find my master now,' when he turned around? There are other experts in this competition?!"
The scene finally switched to Xiao Gang, who had never appeared before.
Xiao Gang, with his keen sense of rocks and terrain, quickly navigated through a complex stone forest maze.
It taps the ground lightly from time to time, listening to the echo.
Soon, he seemed to have found his direction, and with a few skillful turns, he managed to avoid the ordinary stone areas along the way that yielded no results.
We entered a large quarry located in the central area of the Stone Forest!
A figure was already standing in the quarry.
With his back to him, he looked up at a peculiar rock in front of him, seemingly lost in thought.
It was precisely this that made it easy for viewers in the live stream to find Yi Baizhou.
"What a coincidence! After searching for so long, it turns out Dr. Bai Zhou had already found the best main stone quarry!"
"It seems the professor is also stumped by the rocks? It looks like before Xiao Gang arrived, he was standing in front of the biggest rock, lost in thought—was he contemplating philosophy?"
"Where's the legendary Pokémon Zygarde?! Why isn't Professor Shirafusa summoning it to help?! This broken rock definitely won't withstand a single hit! I'm so anxious!"
The comments section was getting anxious, with more than half urging Bai Zhou to use his "legendary power".
Xiao Gang didn't waste any time. After chatting briefly with Bai Zhou, he commanded his giant rock snake to try to move the rocks.
After several violent impacts, he finally managed to crack the boulder he had chosen and began the arduous task of moving it.
Then, viewers in the live stream witnessed a scene where the worldview shattered.
White Boat Overlord Lifts the Tripod!
There was no shouting, no gathering of strength, and not even a particularly forceful expression on his face.
He simply straightened his back slightly.
The stone rose from the ground and was held steadily in his hands.
"??????"
"What the hell did I just see??? Humans lifting a tripod???"
"Holy crap!!!! Awesome!!!"
"Professor! You're actually a Fighting-type Legendary Pokémon, right?! Confess! We can handle it!"
"This art style is off! What happened to the elegant normal attacks from summoning legendary Pokémon? How did it turn into the professor personally engaging in hand-to-hand combat? And so brutally at that!"
"Is this the river? Is this science? Is this the poet?!"
This shocking scene isn't over yet!
A flash of red light appeared.
The tiny figure of Young Gilas appeared in the open space.
Within five minutes!
A huge quarry! Nearly thirty special stones!
In the blink of an eye, only a few pieces remained!
A thoroughly enjoyable food-eating live stream completely captivated all the viewers in the live stream room and pushed the atmosphere of the competition to an unprecedented climax!
"I declare! Larvitar is the new 'Eating King Champion'! Even Snorlax has to step aside!"
"This appetite—this digestive ability—is this the true value of a quasi-god?! Is it really just Larva?!"
"This young Kiras is outrageous! How on earth did Dr. Shirafusa raise it?!"
"Professor Shirafuji: Who says I only have legendary Pokémon? My Pokémon is overpowered too!"
"Regarding the fact that my Larvitar seems to eat even more than legendary Pokémon."
"Organizers, come back and check! Your stones have all been eaten!"
Lili a00g
Time ticked by, and the competition intensified.
When the white boat carried two stones, followed by Young Gilas, back to the starting point.
To be honest, he was actually a bit dull.
Because his starting point was already piled with many small stones of varying sizes, resembling a small quarry.
In the middle is a simple "dragon throne" made of various tree fruits.
Gengar was lying on it with its legs crossed, happily sucking on a huge peach.
It was purring contentedly, and its belly was covered with a banana leaf that appeared out of nowhere.
He acted like a local tyrant, thinking, "This mountain is mine."
Bai Zhou covered his face in exasperation.
"—So, a local tyrant is still an emperor, huh?"
The subsequent statistical work proceeded without any major incidents.
After an hour of moving was completed, staff entered the site to take inventory.
The result is no suspense.
With the help of two intact boulders and the astonishing weight converted from Young Gilas's "digestion", Shiraishu won first place with a landslide advantage.
Sheba secured second place thanks to its consistent split-transport strategy.
Ash secured third place thanks to his astonishingly powerful punch that shattered rocks and his efficient transport.
The three successfully advanced to the final arena to compete for the sole championship title.
"The rules for the final arena match are very simple."
The staff led Bai Zhou to the edge of a circular arena.
"Each of the three competitors chooses a partner Pokémon and steps onto the arena."
"A battle is fought purely by strength and teamwork. If either the Pokémon or the Trainer is knocked off the stage, loses the ability to battle, or concedes defeat, the Pokémon is declared the loser."
"The pair that remains standing in the ring at the end will be the champions of this year's 'Power' competition!"
The stands were packed with spectators who had been granted early access, and the noise was like a tsunami.
The intense atmosphere unique to passionate fighting games is brewing wildly here!
As Shiba, Ash, and Shiba ascended the ancient rock arena step by step, the cheers from the crowd reached their peak in an instant!
The sound was so loud it almost shook the sky!
"Go for it! You muscular guy who's not wearing clothes! You have to defeat that doctor demon king disguised as a human!"
"Here it comes! The ultimate battle! A true man's blood-pumping free-for-all in 1v1v1!"
"Let's do a rational analysis! Master Shiba: Strength S+, Technique SS, Pokémon Synergy SSS; Dr. Shirafuji: Strength??? Technique??? Pokémon Synergy???; Baseball Cap Boy: Strength A+ questionable, Technique S+, Pokémon Synergy S!"
"That's Ash! A top four finisher at last year's Indigo League! And how could his Strength only be A+? Have you forgotten how he smashed a rock with one punch?!"
"Stop talking! I'm betting on Dr. Shirafuji to win! Just summon Zygarde and annihilate them all! Simple and brutal!"
Standing on the arena, Bai Zhou looked at his two opponents amidst the deafening noise, feeling somewhat surprised.
His participation was within his expectations.
This fighting champion's goal was very simple: he probably wanted to have a thrilling duel with him, the "legendary trainer," in the realm of "strength and technique."
But—when did Ash sneak in here?!
Bai Zhou silently adjusted Xiao Zhi's danger level to above Shiba in his mind.
He wouldn't be worried about regular Pokémon battles.
But now the rules encourage close-quarters combat, and partner Pokémon can also participate in the chaotic battles!
After so many years of "enlightenment" and "guidance" from him, Ash is finally ready to fully unleash his superhuman strength and battle instincts.
Add to that his Pikachu, which never plays by the rules—the consequences would be unimaginable!
Just then, Ash also saw White Boat stepping onto the arena.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly waved his hand across most of the arena, shouting energetically, "Master! I've finally found you!!!"
That cry of "Master" was loud, clear, and full of unreserved closeness and joy. With the help of the ring's amplification effect and the relatively quiet interval at that moment, it spread to every corner of the venue!
The once noisy and bustling competition venue was suddenly silenced by the sound of the mute button being pressed!
Immediately afterwards, an even more intense and frenzied roar erupted, completely igniting the entire venue.
"Master?! Did Ash just call Professor Shirafuji 'Master'?!"
"Holy crap! This is an amazing revelation! The case is solved! It turns out that Ash's incredible strength and fighting style were all taught to him by Professor Shirafuji!"
"Combined with their inhuman performance in the moving competition—this master-apprentice duo is invincible!"
"Urgent revision of combat power assessment data! Dr. Shirazuki: Strength SSS, Skill SSS, Pokémon Synergy SSS; Ash: "
Strength SS, Technique SS, Pokémon Teamwork S; Master Shiba—promise me you'll survive, okay?
"Dr. Bai Zhou is awesome! Master and student duel! This plot is off the charts! Let's fight! Let's start fighting!"
The deafening cheers, screams, and discussions nearly shook the entire stadium, making Bai Zhou's ears ring.
Ash is such a prankster!
Completely disregarding the occasion and its impact, a loud "Master" thrust him directly into the center of public opinion, making it difficult for him to keep a low profile now!
Before Bai Zhou could respond, Xiao Zhi had already rushed up to him, his face beaming with the joy of reunion.
"Master! After I returned to Pallet Town, Professor Oak told me that you brought Red and the others here to participate in the competition!"
"Hehe! Luckily, I rushed all the way and finally made it! I can even face you, Master, in the finals! That's awesome!"
I knew it—it was indeed that old man Oki, the "traitor," who leaked the information—
Bai Zhou looked at his foolish apprentice and felt both annoyed and amused. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Now that you're here, let me see if you've been slacking off lately."
His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through the surrounding noise.
On the opposite side of the ring, Shiba stood with his arms crossed.
Looking at the master and disciple reunited, he showed no displeasure at being disturbed; instead, he revealed an even more excited and expectant smile.
Interesting—so interesting!
It seems the arena won't disappoint me today!
"Please return to your positions, competitors! And confirm your partner Pokémon for this match!"
The referee entered the arena at the right time, attempting to "carry" the overly excited Xiao Zhi back to his place in the arena.
But after a few pushes, they found that the young trainer was as steady as a rock and didn't budge, while the referee himself stumbled.
In the end, Bai Zhou waved helplessly, signaling him to go back. Xiao Zhi then returned to his half of the preparation area, looking back every few steps.
On the other side, Shiba maintained the composure characteristic of a fighter throughout.
However, the burning fighting spirit in his eyes was almost tangible, and it remained firmly locked on Bai Zhou.
Bai Zhou could naturally sense the gaze, and he returned a calm smile and a slight nod.
"The three final competitors are all in position! Please confirm your partner Pokémon for this 'three-way battle'!"
The referee began to loudly conduct the final pre-match confirmation.
Ash, without hesitation, patted Pikachu on the shoulder to confirm the pilot.
"Pikachu, of course!"
Master Shiba calmly looked at his companion who had his arms crossed.
"My partner, Super Strength."
When it was his turn, Bai Zhou thought for a moment.
The one who received the loudest cheers from the audience, Ziegler, was sent out on a field mission.
An investigation is underway into a recently reported point of unusual energy fluctuations in the Johto region, which is suspected to be related to Team Rainbow Rocket or the presence of certain legendary Pokémon.
So, among the remaining options—
His gaze fell on the young Gilas at his feet, who was nervously clutching his trouser leg and looking up at him with its little head.
Since the little guy started following him, although he's had excellent food, he does lack practical experience and is somewhat timid.
It definitely needs some tempering to learn to face its own strength.
"I choose you, Youngkiras."
Bai Zhou bent down and gently patted its hard little head in a gentle tone.
"Don't be afraid later, just follow my rhythm, I will protect you."
However, to Bai Zhou's surprise, Young Gilas reacted upon hearing that he had been chosen.
Instead of backing down, those small eyes that were originally a little timid shone with a determined light!
It nodded its head vigorously and then took a step forward.
With her small chest puffed out, she stood in front of Bai Zhou, spread her short arms, and struck a brave pose as if to say, "I will protect the trainer!"
"Yo-yo!"
Once the referee confirmed that all three competitors' partner Pokémon were in position, he immediately executed a clean and swift slide tackle to the safe zone at the edge of the ring.
Raise both hands and announce loudly with all your might.
"The moment the words 'The game begins' fell."
The cheers and shouts that had been building up in the stands turned into a surging wave of sound, one wave higher than the next, almost engulfing the entire arena!
On the arena, the three stood facing each other in a triangular formation, an invisible pressure permeating the air!
Shiba was the first to turn his gaze away from Shiraishu and look at the seemingly harmless red-hatted boy, Xiaozhi, on the other side.
His brows furrowed slightly without his noticing.
He had met this child by chance on his travels before.
My impression of him is that he's a passionate, impulsive trainer with undeniable talent, especially in his bond with Pokémon. However—in terms of physical strength and fighting skills—
Shiba silently shook his head, remaining skeptical.
