Chapter 193 Shimoda Taketo, who was trained as a punching bag!
"Don't just stand there, Scorpion King Guillotine!"
Seeing the Scorpion King standing there in shock, Qingyuan shouted and gave it a command.
"Greek!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion King quickly snapped out of his daze.
Looking at the somewhat exhausted Intense Monkey in front of him.
The Scorpion King charged forward, brandishing its right pincer that glowed white.
"Don't give up, Infernape! Show us your fighting spirit and unleash your Rage Punch!"
Seeing the actions of the Scorpion King in the arena, Taketo Shimoda roared angrily at Infernape with a look of resentment.
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing his trainer's words, Infernape perked up.
With both hands clenched into fists, streams of unique ghost-type energy continuously converged into his hands.
"Pfft!"
Infernape roared again and then slammed its fists down at Scorpion King.
Facing the two swift punches from the fiery monkey, Scorpion King merely shook his head.
He successfully dodged both punches.
Seeing the Infernal Monkey with its neck completely obscured, it simply clamped its pincers onto the Infernal Monkey's head.
"Pfft~"
The already exhausted Inferno Monkey was further weakened by King Gliscor's powerful clamp.
He simply collapsed onto the ground, like a corpse.
"Greek! (Your skills aren't up to par, little bro!)"
Looking at the fiery monkey lying on the ground with its eyes turned into circles, Scorpion King waved its pincers at it.
He said with a disdainful look.
"Gore! (Practice some more!)"
After calling out to Incineroar again, Scorpion King performed a backflip and jumped back to Qingyuan's front.
"Fiery Monkey~"
Seeing the Inferno Monkey lying on the ground, unable to fight, Taketo Shimoda cried out with a mixture of resentment and worry.
After a brief silence, he took out the Primeape's Poké Ball and recalled it.
"You did a great job, Incineroar! This time it was my fault!"
After offering a word of comfort to the fiery monkey, Shimoda Taketo finally looked up at Seigen again.
You win!
Looking at Qingyuan and Scorpion King in front of him, Shimoda Taketo seemed to have lost his soul and said to Qingyuan.
"But even if you are powerful, you can't treat Miss Joey that way!"
"Miss Joy heals our elves every day without fail, and she prepares breakfast for us as early as six in the morning!"
"Even if you're not grateful, you shouldn't have been so rude to Miss Joey!"
However, what fighters have in abundance is the courage to start over.
Shimoda Taketo was only disappointed for a moment before he raised his head again and shouted at Seigen with a tone full of resentment.
Shimoda Taketo's strong self-regulation ability caught Aoyuan, who was trying to comfort him, completely off guard.
However, after hearing what Shimoda Taketo said, Aohara looked embarrassed.
God knows, he was just having a little argument with Qiao Yiling.
How did Shimoda Taketo interpret this as him being mean to Miss Joey?
Your sense of justice is just too overwhelming!
"Trainer, please calm down!"
"Mr. Qingyuan and I are actually very good friends. The bickering just now was just our usual playful banter!"
"If anything has affected you or caused any misunderstanding, I am truly sorry!"
Just then, Qiao Yiling suddenly ran into the battlefield and continued Shimoda Taketo's words.
After speaking, Qiao Yiling bowed deeply to Shimoda Taketo.
After watching Qiao Yiling's set of movements, Qingyuan could clearly feel that Shimoda Taketo seemed to have broken down a little bit.
"Well, actually I was also wrong, I'm sorry Xiaoling!"
In order to prevent Shimoda Taketo, who had meant well but did something wrong, from dying on the spot.
Qingyuan also apologized to Qiao Yiling.
"I'm so sorry, Qingyuan, I misunderstood and caused you trouble!"
However, Shimoda Taketo truly lived up to his reputation as a forthright and righteous hero.
After realizing that he had misunderstood Qingyuan.
Without any hesitation, he immediately bowed deeply to Qingyuan in apology.
This made Aohara, who was feeling somewhat annoyed because of Shimoda Taketo's misunderstanding, feel a sense of relief.
Although I had already breathed a sigh of relief when I was beating up Infernal Monkey.
But now he has personally heard Taketo Shimoda apologize to him.
He still felt somewhat refreshed.
"Haha, we've become friends after our fight, Brother Wu Dou, no need to be so polite!"
Qingyuan, who always treated others with the utmost respect, did not dwell on Shimoda Taketo's minor mistake.
Instead, they magnanimously chose to skip the matter.
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Shimoda Taketo, a martial artist himself, spoke to Qingyuan in a very forthright manner.
And so, the three of them walked and talked.
Qingyuan then took Scorpion King, along with Joy and Shimoda Taketo, back to the Pokémon Center.
As for the group of people standing on the sidelines watching them fight...
In response, Qingyuan said, "A bunch of people who don't even dare to take on the challenge themselves."
He didn't need to waste his energy worrying about what those guys were up to.
After returning to the Pokémon Center, Qingyuan asked Gliscor and the others to be treated by Joy.
He then sat in the waiting area and began to talk with Shimoda Taketo.
To be honest, Shimoda Taketo is incredibly bad at Pokémon battles.
However, he also has many of his own insights into raising Pokémon.
For example, regarding increasing Primeape's resistance to Flying-type moves.
Because in the previous battle, Infernape used acrobatics to clash head-on with the Flying-type Gliscor, and didn't suffer too many injuries.
In addition, Qingyuan has a fiery monkey, so Qingyuan and Shimoda Taketo talked the most about this aspect.
In this regard, Taketo Shimoda believes that it is very useful to give Infernape more training in resilience.
Because the more damage Infernape takes, the more resistant it becomes to Flying-type energy.
In the future, you will not suffer much damage when facing flying-type skills.
However, this has a few drawbacks, namely that it will be very painful for Incineroar.
Moreover, doing this is time-consuming and laborious, and can easily leave hidden damage, requiring very strong logistical resources.
Shimoda Taketo was able to train because of his time at the Saffron City Fighting Dojo.
He was the dojo's punching bag, which is why he lacked a fighting spirit.
How could someone who has been trained as a punching bag for several years possibly possess a strong sense of combat?
The reason he is traveling now is partly to fulfill his dream.
On the other hand, the fighting dojo has been poorly managed recently and is on the verge of closing down.
In order to save money, and also to enhance the reputation of the dojo.
In order to attract more investment to the dojo, the dojo's students were sent out to travel and participate in competitions.
Looking at Shimoda Taketo, who had a fierce and menacing appearance but a heart full of justice.
Qingyuan found it somewhat unbelievable.
Being used as a punching bag for so long, taking beatings for nothing, somehow managed to cultivate such a personality in Shimoda Taketo.
How incredibly strong he must be inside.
Qingyuan felt ashamed of himself for this, considering the injustices he had experienced in both his lives, as well as the wonderful things he had encountered.
Qingyuan gradually developed a selfish personality, but because he had experienced warmth.
So when some people need help, he will lend a helping hand to the best of his ability.
But if he were to experience the same upbringing that Taketo Shimoda went through...
He had no idea what kind of misanthropic personality he would develop.
So the owner of the Saffron City Fighting Gym really deserves to die!
