Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

boom!

Chimchar was hit squarely by the water cannon in mid-air and crashed to the ground, rolling around on the ground.

The flames behind him suddenly grew much larger, indicating that he had activated the Blazing Fire ability, and his stamina had clearly dropped to less than a third.

"Wow!" The surrounding crowd exclaimed in amazement.

"As expected of examiner Xu Kun, his strength is truly formidable!"

"As expected, the fact that the Oddish was instantly defeated just now doesn't prove anything. This Swampert is Xu Kun's strongest fighter; this is his true power!"

"To be fair, an ordinary Chimchar would have been instantly defeated after taking that Water Cannon attack. This Chimchar hasn't lost its ability to battle yet, and it was even able to fight back against Swampert's Water Cannon, so it's quite strong. It's a pity that it ran into Xu Kun, who is good at Water-type attacks. If it were a different type, it might have had a real chance to beat the wave."

Hearing the discussions of the other examiners and onlookers around him, Xu Kun's frustration at being instantly defeated by the grass grass vanished.

He crossed his arms over his chest, raised his head slightly, and Swampert stopped attacking with a smug look on his face, looking at the little Chimchar who had been reduced to low health by his Water Cannon.

"Still want to fight? I'm a Swampert, what do you think your little Chimchar can do against me?"

hateful!

The little fire monkey slowly got up from the ground, its body trembling as it looked at the huge swamp monster opposite it.

The other party was like a high mountain, completely insurmountable; just one glance at it made one feel powerless.

Really, can we win?

Suddenly, images flashed before its eyes, like a revolving lantern that sometimes appears before a person falls into a coma.

In my childhood, I was a Pokémon bred by a research institute, chosen for new trainers.

It is the most talented and strongest among its batch, even capable of defeating Prince Bo despite having the opposite attribute.

Eventually, even people outside the research institute heard about its deeds.

One day, a man with fiery red hair came to the research institute, specifically for it.

They want the PhD to be entrusted to their training.

From their conversation, the little chimpanzee learned who the man was.

Fire-type Elite Four member.

In other words, they are experts who specialize in Fire-type Pokémon and have reached the pinnacle of their skills in training Fire-type Pokémon.

Perhaps due to overconfidence, Chimchar rejected the invitation.

Watching the other's regretful figure leave, the little Chimchar was extremely pleased with itself.

snort!

From now on, I am no longer one of the starter Pokémon chosen by beginners; I am a Fire-type Pokémon that rejected the Fire-type Elite Four.

That evening, it secretly slipped out of the research institute.

The outside world is so big, it wants to see it.

Although it is dangerous in the wild, it is very strong and not afraid.

Until one day, it encountered a Pokémon that was covered in colorful light and looked a bit like a large Finch.

The opponent's strength was unfathomable, and he seemed to value him highly. A wisp of golden flame merged into his body and then departed.

From then on, its monkey life plummeted and it became something else entirely.

Unlucky.

Extremely unlucky.

It's the kind of thing that gets stuck in your teeth even when you drink cold water.

Finally, it was seriously injured in the wild and was rescued by a professor, becoming a Pokémon chosen by a novice trainer once again.

However, Dr. Yamanashi discovered its power, but also its unique unlucky constitution.

Then Dr. Birch took over, and Ark came to invite it to join the manor.

Subjugation is possible, but it comes with conditions.

Only by defeating it can it gain its followers; this is its last act of defiance in its miserable monkey life.

Ark swiftly and decisively defeated it, and it accepted the defeat wholeheartedly, joining the manor and beginning a completely new life.

To help the manor develop and continuously improve its strength, hoping to break the curse as soon as possible and completely master its immense power.

Now, facing a formidable foe, must I stop here?

Past experiences and countless insights all transformed into points of light representing enlightenment, swirling around the little fire monkey.

It seems to have entered a state of enlightenment, breaking through the bottleneck that had been stuck at the peak of the elite level!

At the same time, the white light spots re-entered the body, and the little fire monkey began to glow with white light!

"This...this is evolution!"

Some audience members gasped in surprise.

It's not uncommon for Pokémon to evolve by overcoming challenges in difficult battles.

Evolution often means a reversal of the battle situation!

Things are getting interesting.

After the white light, it was still in monkey form, but much larger than before, with blue patterns appearing on its face.

Infernape!

Fangzhou stared wide-eyed at the newly evolved Infernape.

Because the flames behind Infernape are no longer orange, but blue!

Blue flames, like a suit of armor, quickly enveloped Infernape's body.

Infernape sprinted forward like a wild beast, lunging at Swampert on the other side!

"Oh no! Swampert! Use your water cannons to stop it!"

"Korok!" The Swamp Monster panicked as it sensed the rising momentum of the opposing force.

Strange, even if the opponent has evolved, it's still just a Tier 2 Infernape!

I'm a Tier 3 Swampert!

Why am I feeling afraid?

Just like that flame, carrying a power of death, a power that chills the heart!

It quickly opened its mouth, not daring to be careless, and mobilized all the water-based energy in its body.

The thickest jet of water since the start of the battle hurtled towards the Fire Monkey!

Its diameter is larger than that of a fire monkey.

The onlookers sighed, realizing that the turn of events they had imagined would not happen; the Swampert was simply too powerful.

If it gets hit, Infernape will definitely lose its ability to battle.

But what happened next completely overturned their understanding!

As soon as the water touched the flames around the Fire Monkey, it sizzled and turned into white mist and dissipated!

Finally, Infernape, carrying endless flames, went against the current and crashed hard into Swampert.

Flame Charge!

Boom boom boom!

The Swamp Monster let out a mournful howl, feeling as if its soul was being scorched by flames.

Its enormous body lay sprawled on the ground, its eyes now swollen like mosquito coils, completely incapacitated.

From the moment Chimchar struggled to evolve into Infernape and achieve a comeback, it all happened in just one minute. Everything happened far too fast.

"Swampert, Swampert is unable to battle, Infernape wins, therefore the winner is Challenger Ark, congratulations on obtaining the Gym Leader Elite Trainer Certificate!"

The referee was the first to react and shouted excitedly.

Wow!

The audience erupted in thunderous cheers and applause.

This match was absolutely fantastic.

They would never forget that monkey, a fierce fire monkey with blue flames all over its body!

"Aww~" Infernape breathed a sigh of relief when it saw its opponent fall.

We won!

My body relaxed for a moment, followed by endless fatigue and pain all over my body.

Flame Charge deals damage to itself, but it has managed to hold on until now through sheer willpower.

Seeing its opponent fall, it could finally close its eyes and fall down as well.

Fangzhou quickly stepped forward and hugged it in his arms.

"You've worked hard, Infernape, get some rest."
