"Cha ya~"
As the battle had already begun, Sandshrew lifted its leg on the field, instantly locking on to its opponent, waiting only for the Trainer's command.
"Rolling Kick—"
At that moment, Wu De also timely shouted the command for a "Rolling Kick." They would not wait for Ditto to complete its transformation.
Once the command was given, Wu De and Sandshrew's eyes both flickered slightly, as if growing more confident, like a Fighting Spirit gradually awakening in them.
Swish!!
In the next second, Sandshrew's white pupils contracted, its leg slightly bent, and it vanished from its spot. Its body spun in midair like a top, then swept toward Ditto like a phantom with the fury of a gale force wind.
Bang Bang Bang!!
The air around them vibrated with the force of Sandshrew's spin.
"Good!" Seeing this Rolling Kick, Xin Yan and the Fighting Apprentices all wanted to give a thumbs up. It's no wonder Wu De was the Dojo Leader; Sandshrew's Rolling Kick wouldn't have had this level of skill and power without years of hard training.
If it connected, even steel and rock would shatter, let alone a lump of goo.
"Busy busy!!!" At this moment, facing the fiercely advancing opponent, Ditto finally made a decision, its eyes gleaming with resolve.
It didn't bother with the hassle of considering type matchups.
A battle should be met head-on!!!
Whoever backed down would lose.
Since the opponent was a Fighting Type Pokemon, Ditto decided to transform into a Fighting Type Pokemon as well.
As Sandshrew charged, Ditto's body flashed with light. Thanks to its Dream gene, its transformation was very fast, completing it in an instant. At this moment, Fang Yuan almost cursed out loud.
Dammit.
A perfectly good Ditto, ruined by the teachings of Monferno.
Ditto, are you out of your mind?
At that moment, in the arena, there appeared a Chimchar with flames burning on its rear—Monferno's earliest form.
"Busy busy!" To explain Ditto's message to Fang Yuan, against this level of Fighting Type Pokemon, Chimchar's initial form was more than enough to handle it.
Sandshrew's attack and Ditto's transformation happened simultaneously.
At that moment, the audience, looking at the sweeping figure of Sandshrew and the figure of Ditto, now transformed into Chimchar, were left with a huge question mark over their heads.
What the heck, what's going on?
Even Wu De himself was taken aback. Ditto transformed into Chimchar???
Damn, Is this "Nastina's teacher" and his Ditto here to joke around?
Such a frail-looking Pokemon shouldn't be able to withstand a kick from Sandshrew, right?
However, no matter into what Pokemon Ditto had transformed, Fang Yuan could only command helplessly.
His expression was calm and indifferent.
Forget it, even though it's Chimchar, we can still win.
He didn't speak but conveyed the message through Mind Induction.
"Lightning Flame Mode, on!"
Moments later, "Chimchar" also calmly lifted its head to look at the brown phantom sweeping toward it.
"Wooer—" With a roar, a terrifying wave of air exploded from its body. A surge of lightning-infused flames extended upward and out for several meters. The blast of air that spread out instantly repelled the Rolling Kicking Sandshrew, whose pupils shrank in response.
Even Sandshrew had to cross its arms in front of its body and show a look of horror to protect itself from the overwhelming surge of energy.
In the terrifying burst of Lightning Flame, the figure of Chimchar flickered in and out of sight, like the descent of a flame demon.
Although the transformation was only into a Chimchar, for Ditto, the form was irrelevant due to its Dream gene. Its mastery of transformation had already reached the point where it could replicate specialized energy and skills, transcending normal transformations.
So, even in the form of Chimchar, the unleashed power was just as Ditto believed: no less than any Fighting Pokemon.
Compared to being in the form of Monferno, the only thing lacking was the difference in appearance; the strength remained the same!
Crackle!!
After the explosion of Lightning Flame, overpowering golden lightning enveloped the small body of Chimchar, deep red flames flowed throughout its body, and golden electricity spread through its muscles. Cloaked in the Lightning Armor and controlling flames, Chimchar's Lightning Flame Mode first gate, was officially activated.
Although its opponent was also a Fighting Pokemon that had just stepped into the Top Tier Domain.
But when faced with the Legendary Power enhanced by the Intersecting Power of the Top Tier Domain, the disparity in strength became immediately apparent.
"Impossible———"
Watching the Chimchar, which Ditto had transformed into, repel Sandshrew with the mere burst of its aura, as it used its arms to shield its body from the flame's blast while being sent flying back, Wu De showed an expression of shock.
Xin Yan, at the referee's seat, was also wide-eyed with disbelief.
As for the Fighting Apprentices, they were dumbfounded. Is this really Chimchar???
"Sonic Fist of Thunder and Lightning!"
After "Chimchar" unleashed its full power and swiftly assessed both the progress of Ditto and the gap in strength between the two, Fang Yuan understood the foundation of Ditto's confidence and couldn't help but smile to himself. He immediately issued the next command.
"Woo-ar!!"
With a spirited gaze, Chimchar stood on the ground, and under its ferocious Thunder Flame mode, it took a deep breath before forcefully stomping down.
Bang!
The floor of the Martial Arts Dojo caved in.
The figure of Chimchar vanished from its original spot!
In the audience seats, Nastina's gaze quickly followed the afterglow of movement, and a look of surprise crossed her face.
Is this really a Ditto... No, can Chimchar really display such strength??
Teacher... who exactly is he?
What other secrets is he still hiding?
"Not good!!!"
At the same time, Wu De also spotted Chimchar's trace.
As his heart jolted, Wu De saw Chimchar, which was looking around, directly above Sandshrew, and he instinctively shouted.
"Get out of the way!!!" His voice erupted, urgency filling his heart.
This speed, this explosive power, they're simply outrageous.
No... it's too late to dodge.
Time seemed to freeze as the afterimage of Chimchar, poised in the air above Sandshrew, suddenly smashed down with a punch.
Boom!!!
Lightning Flame burst forth, and Sandshrew was sent flying like a sandbag, scraping the ground and carving a long crater into the field.
"Woo-ar!" as Chimchar landed, the entire arena was in shock.
...
"Sandshrew... has lost the ability to fight."
...
"Abilang... has lost the ability to fight..."
"So the winner..."
Two minutes later, as Referee Xin Yihan stutteringly announced it, Fang Yuan regrettably recalled his Ditto.
Unfortunately, Ditto had improved too much. Unless it was a Top Level Third Stage Pokemon with strong physical strength, a regular top-level Pokemon really wouldn't be a match for the current Ditto.
This Wu De, despite having a high ranking, didn't have strong abilities; both of his top-level combat power Pokemon were quite ordinary and not as formidable as Erika's.
If only he had known, he would have let the nearly-top level Mane Rock Werewolf fight first.
"Thank you for the match."
Now that the battle was over, Fang Yuan began to express his courtesy to his opponent.
"Ah... okay..."
At this moment, Wu De, the Karate king, was still staring blankly at the field, not yet recovered from his shock.
Ditto... Chimchar... instant defeat...
He was tired.
Pokemon battles were really not his thing.
He might as well call it a fight with Psychics who disregard martial ethics.
The young people of today are no longer as simple as being "without martial ethics."
They even disregard the basic laws.
This is unscientific, this is not Pokemon, Ditto shouldn't be like this!!!
...…
This battle nearly destroyed the Martial Arts Dojo.
But there was no helping it.
After Xin Yihan uploaded the battle video to the Pokemon Battle Committee with a "Ah ba ah ba ah ba," all Fang Yuan had to do was to wait for his ranking to rise.
It's just hard to know how many ranks this battle will increase.
"Let's go."
Under the gaze of dozens of martial artists from the Martial Arts Dojo that looked at them as if they were monsters, Fang Yuan and Nastina left the Martial Arts Dojo.
Wu De and Xin Yihan, the two Dojo Leaders, watched their receding figures and then made a decision together.
"Let's... close the dojo!"
