Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master.

Chapter 196 Can you fly without wings?

Arriving at the Kikyo Gym, Ash was somewhat stunned by the towering building that resembled a postmodern work of art.

"Are all the museum owners in the Johto region this avant-garde?"

Perhaps sensing Ash's confusion, Asahi smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry for renovating the building like this, it's just my own hobby."

Everyone followed Asu and took the elevator to the top floor of the dojo. He had already contacted and arranged the battleground in advance.

This is an open-air battle arena, and a row of apprentices from the Kikyo Gym are standing around the arena.

Everyone was dressed in clothing similar to karate training uniforms, and Xiaozhi even saw that a few of them were carrying drums.

There, we shouted encouragement and told each other to show our backbone.

Speaking of Ash's Philosophy Gym, during every battle, the students would stand in a row and shout.

However, the content is somewhat different.

Whenever the gym loses a battle, they all shout "1! 5!" and then let out a foul roar.

The team held extra training sessions after the competition.

If the challenger loses, they will be presented with "very fresh, very delicious!" Dark City specialty, freshly squeezed durian juice.

They have become one of the two main features of the Philosophy Dojo, along with the muscular men.

Therefore, even when Ash and Suicune are away for a long time, challengers still flock to the Philosopher's Gym.

The philosophical and Taoist temples really played a significant role in enabling the Dark City to develop so rapidly.

It's just puzzling why there are so many male trainers challenging the Philosopher's Gym.

Ash led Ash and his friends to the battle arena. "Let's hurry up and start the gym challenge!"

"The rules are three against three, and only the challenger can freely switch Pokémon."

"No problem." The gym challenge in Johto is not much different from that in Kanto; the rules are pretty much the same.

However, Asu added an extra sentence.

"Although this is the first gym you've challenged in the Johto region, Ash is, after all, the champion of the League Tournament. You can't treat him like a rookie trainer."

"Therefore, I will not show any mercy!"

"Bring it on, Asu!" Xiaozhi couldn't have been happier.

"Then this will be my first Pokémon, let's go, Goooo."

"Gurgle~ Gurgle~"

A small owl with a round head that took up its entire body appeared on the battlefield with sharp eyes.

Ash also sent out his first general.

"It's time to put our preparations, made specifically for this Taoist temple competition, to the test. We choose you, Circle Bear!"

Ash naturally took the first strike.

"CircyBear, use Ice Punch!"

"Roar!" As soon as the circle bear appeared, it immediately waved its fists and roared as it charged towards Gugu.

"Looks like you came prepared, Ash, but you can't easily defeat me just by relying on type advantage!"

"Let's fly, Gugu!"

As expected of a Flying-type Gym Leader's Pokémon, Goooo leaped from the ground and soared into the sky.

Having reached high in the sky, they dodged the Circle Bear's incredibly powerful Freeze Punch.

"This is very well-trained, little one."

Ordinary cuckoos, due to their small wings, can usually only glide between trees.

And Asu's Gugu can fly so high.

"I said I wanted to become the strongest bird Pokémon Trainer, and I wasn't kidding. Let me show you how powerful bird Pokémon are!"

"Gugu, use Air Blade!"

Looking up at the gugu in the sky, Asu felt a surge of pride, while the surrounding dojo apprentices cheered him on.

"Circly Bear, don't dodge, use Bodybuilding!"

Although this Cuckoo is very well trained, Ash's Ursaring is equally incredibly tanky.

Several air blades slashed down from the sky, but the circle bear remained completely still.

He raised his arms, roared loudly, and struck a bodybuilding pose, instantly boosting his attack and defense.

"What an amazing Circular Bear!" Asu's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Continue with the Air Blade!"

Gugu is still flying in the sky, while Quanquan Bear doesn't have many ranged skills, which is its advantage.

Similarly, once Goose is defeated, Ash has secured the victory.

"Circle Bear, use High-Speed ​​Star."

"Get out of the way and keep using Air Blade."

A curtain of light formed by stars kept sweeping across the sky, and Gugu nimbly dodged among the stars.

Every now and then, it would fire a few air blades at the Circly Bear below, but these attacks did not shake the Circly Bear at all.

The situation reached a stalemate for a moment.

At this moment, Ash keenly observed the trajectory of Gugu's movement.

"Now! Ursaring, use Destruction Ray!"

"What?! Gugu, get out of the way!"

Unfortunately, it was too late; all of Googoo's actions were anticipated by Ash's beast-like intuition.

The circly bear opened its mouth wide, and a beam of light filled with terror instantly shot out.

The cuckoo was caught off guard and was hit directly. The powerful force caused it to instantly fall to the ground, its body smoking.

At this moment, no matter how much the apprentices behind Asu shouted to show their backbone, it was all in vain.

"Cuckoo is unable to battle, Ash wins the first match." The referee raised the flag immediately after observing the battle situation.

"Come back, thank you for your hard work, Gugu."

"As expected of you, Ash! The tournament champion is really strong, but I won't give up so easily to prove the power of bird Pokémon!"

Asu took out his second Pokémon.

"Go, Todori!"

A three-headed brown ostrich appeared on the battlefield.

"For me, Dodori is the origin of the Pokémon series, representing my dream of one day flying high in the sky."

"It was precisely because I wanted to fly that I ultimately became a bird-type Pokémon Trainer!"

"Really? I understand how you feel." Ash even wanted to take Groudon with him when he flew up into the sky.

"Is the Circle Bear okay?"

"Roar~"

Despite taking so many air blades, the Circular Bear still showed no signs of fatigue.

"Alright, Circle Bear, use your arm hammer!"

"Dudu Lifei, let's go!"

"Doesn't Duduli not have wings? How can it fly?" Xiaoxia asked, very puzzled.

Amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, Dudu used her powerful thighs to jump up, and then simply remained suspended in the air.

"Oh my, can you call this flying?"

This Asu is really something.

Although it has no wings, it can still jump high enough to stay in the air for a long time.

It really does feel like it's flying.

"It was quite unexpected; Circle Bear used advanced star-making skills to shoot it down!"

Since they're all flying anyway, the methods of movement are pretty much the same.

Ash chose to use the same trick again, but this time Dodrio was much faster than Goo.

"Duduli, use Triangle Attack!"

Dudu's three heads simultaneously released different lights, forming a triangle, and then fired several beams of light at the Circle Bear.

The high-speed star attack of the circle bear was interrupted before it could be released.

"Now! Use the peck attack!"

Using the momentum of falling from the sky, Duduli leaped onto the top of the Circular Bear while it was being attacked by the Triangle.

The slender claws completely covered the bear's eyes, and the three heads used their sharp beaks to quickly peck them down.

"Use Protect, Kuma!"

Ursaring is too slow, unlike Ash's preferred speed-based Pokémon.

But this is precisely what Ash needs to focus on training.

The Guard skill was successfully activated, blocking Doduri's peck attack.

"Circy Bear uses Ice Punch, aiming for its head."

Although it couldn't see, Ursaring obeyed Ash's command, its arm glowing with blue and white light as it swung it sharply.

But Duduli jumped even higher, but still missed.

"This Dodrio is too agile," Ash thought, pondering a solution.

"Circly Bear uses Destructive Ray again."

"Dutturi, get out of the way!"

The sight of this wingless, three-headed ostrich waving its two claws and using its three heads to move with the wind in the sky is quite comical.

However, its extreme usefulness and efficiency also demonstrate that Asu's reputation as a master of bird Pokémon is well-deserved.

Dodoli successfully dodged Ursaring's destructive beam, at which point Ursaring froze.

"Ash is in big trouble."

"No, how could that be? That man looks so confident, he doesn't look like he's in trouble at all."

Xiaoxia was concerned about the battlefield, but Lihua was staring intently at Xiaozhi's face.

Thinking he had seized the opportunity, Asu immediately ordered Duduli to jump onto the head of the Circular Bear once again.

"Taking advantage of the opponent's current immobility, Dodori uses a peck attack once again!"

At the same spot as before, Dudu's three beaks quickly leaped down.

But then, the Circular Bear's big paw suddenly grabbed one of Dudu's heads.

"What? Shouldn't it still be in a stalemate?!" Asu was very surprised.

"Could it be that the stun time was shortened through training?"

"Of course, it's the Curly Bear's Freeze Punch right now!"

"roar!"

Fueled by the anger of having his head grabbed earlier, Circle Bear swung his fists violently.

The Frozen Fist slammed wildly towards the unfortunate head of Duduli that had been grabbed.

"Beep~ Beep—!" The cry was extremely pitiful, and the entire head was covered with a thick layer of ice.

"Dudori, incapacitated!"
