Chapter 244 To become stronger, you must eat the forbidden fruit! (Two chapters combined)
While Bea is busy searching for a gym, Ash is also starting to train Chigusa.
"Alright then, Chigusa, let's start training right away. Time is precious."
With only three days left, it will be quite difficult for Ash to get Chigusa to defeat Shirou.
Although Senburou has solid basic skills and a decent level, he has too many bad habits in battle, and it will take a lot of hard work to correct them.
"Don't call me Chigusa!"
The nickname that only her grandfather would normally use made her incredibly shy when Xiao Zhi said it.
"Your grandfather said you should learn from me, so now I am your teacher."
"As the young lady of a prestigious martial arts family, she must know the rules of respecting teachers, right?" The more Chigusa resisted, the more excited Satoshi became.
"If you want to learn from me, you'd better get rid of that spoiled princess attitude and call me 'teacher' first."
Actually, Ash has taught disciples as well.
The Ten Philosophers of the Dark City are Ash's beloved students, but unfortunately, they are all muscular, rugged men, and they call him "Master" in an increasingly wild manner.
It's rare to have a beautiful female student call him "teacher," so of course Xiao Zhi wants to enjoy it.
"That annoying guy."
"Teacher—" Chigusa's voice was barely audible, barely more than a mosquito's buzz.
"What? I can't hear anything at all!"
"Roar, roar!"
"Pikachu, Pikachu!"
At this moment, Urshifu and Pikachu also came to Ash's side, surrounding Chigusa with their tall figures.
"Trying to operate a warship so quietly! No, I mean, making such a soft noise, is this how you want to get stronger?"
Xiao Zhi speaks very loudly.
"One more time!"
"Pikachu!"
"roar!"
"Is this some kind of recruit bullying scene from another dimension?" Xiaoxia looked at Qiancao and felt sorry for her.
However, Xiaoxia was unaware that in a fighting gym, a place that values hardcore style, Ash's current "hardcore" approach is the most popular.
If the teachers aren't qualified enough, the students won't even bother with you.
As expected, under Ash's spiritual infusion, Chigusa immediately put away her frivolous attitude, bit her lip, and stood up.
"Ash-sensei, please teach me how to get stronger with Pokémon!" Chigusa shouted, her face flushed.
"Great, that's very energetic!"
Since he promised Genzo that he would teach Chigusa, Satoshi will teach her well.
Keeping his word is also part of Narutoshi's ninja way! (Xiaoxia: Who is this guy anyway?)
"Then let's go." Ash used a high-speed movement to bring back Hitmonlee, who had been sent flying to another yard.
I immediately poured a bottle of thick, white liquid (a high-grade healing potion) down its throat, and it slowly regained consciousness.
Upon opening his eyes and seeing Ash and the big faces of the martial arts master behind him, he was instantly so frightened that he jumped three feet high and quickly hid behind Chigusa.
But after Chigusa's explanation, he mustered up the courage to stand up again.
"Even if you're afraid of being beaten, can you still stand up for your trainer?"
This War Dancer has potential for development.
"We'll do basic skills training tomorrow morning. For now, let's correct your bad habits in matches."
Ash brought Chigusa and Senbou back to the battlefield.
Thinking he was going to fight against the Martial Arts Bear Master, Zhan Wulang swallowed several times before shakily stepping onto the field.
Then, under their tense gazes, Ash told Pikachu and Urshifu to rest aside and threw out a new Poké Ball.
"Sigh, shouldn't it be Martial Arts Bear Master's?"
What appeared was a Pokémon with an appearance as cute as a pure and innocent young girl; it was Ash's shiny Kirlia.
"You good-for-nothings are not worthy of being taught by Master Urshifu. The weakest Pokémon I have against right now is this kid."
"You can only see your problems better in a close battle, and my little Kirlia is just right."
"The weakest————"
Having just been defeated by Ash, even though what Ash said made her very unhappy, Chigusa could only choke back her words and couldn't say anything back.
"But Kirlia isn't a Fighting-type Pokémon, and it probably doesn't know any Fighting-type moves, right?"
"It's not a good match for Hitmonlee in terms of attributes either," the pink-haired girl said to Ash with doubt.
"That's right, it won't at all, but there's no need to worry about attribute advantages or disadvantages."
"Because in the upcoming battle, my Kirlia won't use any skills, she'll just kick."
"What? That's incredibly disrespectful."
Ash actually wanted Kirlia to defeat his Hitmonlee without using any moves, and Chigusa and Hitmonlee instantly regained their fighting spirit.
They want to make Ash regret sending out Kirlia!
"Kirlia without using any skills is no match for me, Chthnum!"
"Hanburou Triple Kick!"
Ash still lets Chigusa take the first attack, and the pink-haired girl's attack commands are becoming more and more decisive.
"Kirullian, prepare. The first attack will come from the right."
When Senburou's first attack came down from the right, Kirlia, who was prepared, simply turned to the side and easily dodged it.
"Left, right."
The next two attacks were also easily dodged by Kirlia under Ash's command.
"Why? How did you all do that?" Chigusa asked incredulously.
Throughout the entire day, her War Dancer's proud triple kick failed to hit even once.
Both Ash and Shirou could easily see through Hitmonlee's attacks.
"Don't you understand? It's because you completely failed to utilize the dance-like kicking techniques of Senburou to confuse your opponent."
"The neater and more beautiful the spin, the more obvious the prelude to its attack will be to the opponent."
During combat, there wasn't even a single feint; it was too clean and rigid.
"What an incompetent trainer! You think you can inherit the Genzo style?!"
Little Zhi summons the Core Soul to ignite!
"Go get Kirlia and kick it!"
Ash's signature Pokémon, Fragrant Kick, can change direction three times in a single kick from Kirlia.
Caught off guard, Zhanwulang was kicked away in an instant.
"Kirullian charges over and stomps hard!"
The dazed and confused Zhanwulang opened his eyes to find Kirlia's huge feet right there.
But being stepped on by Kirlia is just being stepped on by a little girl, which is something many perverts would love to do. It's such a good deal for Senburou.
Listening to its pitiful screams, sigh~ I envy Zhanwulang.
Before long, the top of its head lost its ability to fight.
"What a useless piece of trash." (Shinji's face.jpg)
Ash puts more pressure on the pink-haired girl and the girl with the pointed head, but then turns around and his expression softens.
"Inui's Curious Rulian!"
"Chiru~"
[Ding! Kirlia: Affection +3; Intimacy +3]
"I lost again—" Chigusa clenched her little fists in frustration.
She is now completely silent.
Next, Ash kept giving Hitmonlee healing items so that it could battle Kirlia again and again.
Throughout the night, Hitmonchan was defeated four times in a row by Kirlia's punches and kicks, even causing Kirlia to evolve.
In the final battle, Kirlia once again nimbly dodged behind Hitmonlee, avoiding its newly mastered close-combat technique.
As Fragrant kicked down, Kirullian's body suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.
Its body suddenly grew taller, and its hairstyle changed from a bob to a curly shape, transforming the little girl into a slender young woman.
It also learned a new skill, Magic Flash, through evolution.
With his long legs, Kicking Warrior can kick even harder.
However, seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Zhi left a message.
"Hmph, after a whole night, it's finally starting to look a little better, but it's not enough. Now go and rest right now."
Let the little pink-haired girl take Zhanwulang back to get a good night's sleep. He needs to get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning to continue practicing.
Adequate rest is essential for becoming stronger.
Anyone who has worked out knows the importance of good sleep; sometimes it's even more important than eating and exercising.
Upon hearing this order, Chigusa, who was numb with defeat tonight, could only obediently drag her tired body back to her room.
Despite being physically exhausted, she was still very happy. Ash's teachings on how to learn the correct battle methods through combat were actually quite useful.
After all, this isn't a game. In the real world, as long as you're fully engaged in Pokémon battles, even if you lose, you can gain valuable experience that fuels your growth.
Because they were unwilling to keep failing, Chigusa and Senburou fought with increasing ferocity, even entering a state of flow and fighting non-stop.
As the fight progressed, Kirlia was still able to defeat Hitsujiro, but she was indeed finding it increasingly difficult to win.
While in a moment of self-abandonment and random swinging, Zhanbulang mastered a high-power close-combat skill of the Fighting type.
Chigusa has gained so much in just one night. Although she doesn't say it, she truly approves of Satoshi.
[Ding! Chigusa: Affection +10]
Moreover, after each crushing defeat, Chigusa would be verbally abused by Ash, and over time, a different kind of feeling began to grow in her heart.
She was starting to look forward to being scolded by Xiaozhi.
"Ugh... Why is this happening? It shouldn't be like this—"
Of course, she hasn't completely become a glorious wooden bead yet; sometimes Ash's scolding breaks her spirit.
For example, when Ash once said that she was the granddaughter of the head of a famous martial arts school, but her physical fitness was not as good as that of the fishing girl, she was very dissatisfied.
In the fighting game genre, it is highly recommended that trainers and Pokémon battle together to become stronger.
Trainers who are strong in their own right are especially respected by other trainers.
That's why Chigusa reacted so strongly when Ash said Chigusa wasn't feeling well, and immediately challenged Misty to a duel.
Moreover, it's close-quarters combat between trainers.
She received rigorous martial arts training from a young age and refused to believe that she would lose to Xiaoxia, a seemingly soft and weak woman.
Then Chigusa was utterly defeated by Kasumi.
"He really asked for trouble." Ash wouldn't boast without reason.
Although Xiaoxia has not received professional combat training, she is a terrifying woman who can withstand the full force of a Super Rookie's charge.
With a sufficient supply of high-protein foods, she also exercises with Xiaozhi.
Once Xiaoxia's Gyarados personality is activated, it's something Chigusa can't handle.
Misty found Chigusa's side kick far less terrifying than Ash's Big Flying Stick, easily finding an opportunity to trip the pink-haired girl.
"This is impossible, impossible—" The pink-haired girl collapsed to the ground, completely doubting her existence.
But then Ash came over and gently pulled her into his arms from the ground.
"Chigusa, truly strong people are those who, even after recognizing their own weakness, still resolutely choose to become stronger."
"Your talent is not bad, it's just that your grandfather spoiled you in the past, and the people below flattered you. No one pointed out your own mistakes, which is why you are like this today."
"I believe that as long as you train hard with me, you will definitely become stronger."
The alluring words made Ash's eyes seem to sparkle, leaving Chigusa completely mesmerized.
[Ding! Chigusa: Affection +3]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your "Charm" trait has increased from lv4 to lv5 (Perhaps it's time to challenge yourself with something even more exciting)]
However, Ash didn't remain gentle for long before turning serious again.
"Alright, you useless thing, go to sleep now."
"Tomorrow morning's training will be even more rigorous. In three days, I will make sure you grow to the point where you can easily defeat Shirou."
"Ah, yes, Mr. Ash."
[Ding! Chigusa: Affection +5]
The affection level increased more than when I was in the gentle state? Hachiko, you bastard.
However, on the way back, Chigusa secretly stopped Kasumi and asked her earnestly how she had become so powerful.
Faced with the other party's request to kneel in reverence, Xiaoxia had no choice but to carefully recall when her physical fitness had improved so significantly.
Then she suddenly realized that it seemed to have started to improve after she first drank the high-protein drink.
"But how can anyone say that out loud!"
Faced with Chigusa's persistent questioning, she could only give vague and evasive answers.
But Chigusa noticed that something was wrong with Xiaoxia.
"Hmph, you won't tell me? You must have become stronger because you ate the forbidden fruit!"
"Ah, why would you think that?" Xiaoxia panicked when the other person guessed her right away.
Seeing Xiaoxia suddenly like this, Qiancao realized that she had guessed correctly.
"Hmph, when I was a kid, I once found a secret manual in the forbidden library that my grandfather wouldn't let me read."
"It says that to become stronger, you must eat the forbidden fruit, and now it seems that's indeed true!"
"6
'
Don't read the books that Grandpa forbids you from reading!
However, looking at the pink-haired girl in front of her who was confidently nodding with her arms crossed, Xiaoxia suddenly realized something.
"Chigusa, do you know what eating forbidden fruit means?"
"Hmm, I don't know, but judging from what's written in that book, it should be a fruit that grows on the bodies of strong people!"
"Chigusa's innocent appearance is kind of cute."
Although they are about the same age, Xiaoxia feels that she has already far surpassed others on the road of life.
"Anyway, I've already made up my mind. I'm going to eat the forbidden fruit with Ash Ketchum."
"Someone as strong as him, if I just eat his forbidden fruit, I'm sure I can quickly become just as strong as him!"
"You told your plans to the person you least wanted to talk to."
However, seeing how well Chigusa was protected by adults, Xiaoxia felt helpless.
"Eat if you want, I agree."
"But I just hope that when that moment actually comes, you won't regret it."
Poor Chigusa has no idea what she's about to face.
"How could I possibly regret it if it makes me stronger?"
Anyway, she happily ran back to her room tonight to plan how she would get to eat the forbidden fruit with Xiaozhi.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Chigusa and Misty were each pulled out of bed by Ash.
"Legend has it that there is an old saying in the far East: 'The plan for the day is made in the morning.'"
"You guys should release your Pokémon and warm up with a 30km shuttle run!"
Ash has already planned a full day's itinerary for Chigusa and Hitmonchan based on their physical condition.
At first glance, it's all training plans.
For some reason, Ash felt that the pink-haired girl was staring at him strangely today, and kept saying "forbidden fruit, forbidden fruit" in her mouth.
"What is she going to do?"
Ignoring Chigusa's strange behavior for the moment, Ash quickly opened the gym door, preparing to take everyone to the training area.
But to his surprise, when he opened the door, a pretty little face with bloodshot eyes appeared in front of him.
There stood a gray-haired girl with a healthy, wheat-colored complexion, wearing a tight-fitting tracksuit, looking dazed.
She was carrying a large backpack that was taller than her, but for some reason Xiaozhi felt that she looked very haggard.
"Um, hello." Xiao Zhi greeted tentatively.
Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly collapsed with a creak.
Everyone rushed forward in a flurry to check the situation.
"It's alright, she just fell asleep from exhaustion." Ash released Gardevoir to check on the gray-haired girl, and everyone was relieved.
"Strange, superhuman strength!"
Suddenly, a tall, strong creature came running frantically from the forest, carrying water in its hands made of leaves.
It looked like the girl's Pokémon, and Ash quickly comforted it.
Before Ash and his friends could react, Genzo suddenly rushed out of the gym in a hurry.
"Oh no, there were so many unexpected things yesterday that I completely forgot about something so important."
As he passed through the gate, he glanced at the gray-haired girl lying on the ground and immediately shouted again.
"Grandpa, what are you doing?" Chigusa had never seen her grandfather so flustered before.
"Chigusa, quickly help her inside to rest. This is Aya, the daughter of the Galar Karate Master, whom I mentioned earlier who will be visiting for an exchange!"
"If anything were to happen to her on our turf, how would the Genzo-ryu school ever be able to survive in the underworld again!"
