Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 301 Absolute Defense Domain

(I was busy all day and didn't get home until 10 pm. I'm so tired that I can only type this by voice. If you find any typos tonight, please point them out in the paragraphs and I will correct them as soon as possible!)

Darkrai didn't see the smiles on Ash's and Magma's faces, and even if he had, he probably wouldn't have stopped attacking. After all, in his opinion, the situation was completely in his favor, and there was no reason for them to lose this battle.

"Dar!"

The moment Darkrai's body entered the Infernal Monkey arena, he only felt a flash of light before his eyes.

I got hit?

This question kept growing in his mind, and for a time even Darkrai himself couldn't give it an answer...

It wasn't until the moment his body flew backward, until he felt the pain spreading throughout his body, that he suddenly realized...

I was actually caught.

"boom--!"

Darkrai's body slammed heavily against the rock wall behind him, creating the loudest sound of the night.

Darkrai's body caved in deeply. He didn't know why he had been captured. He had been under pressure the whole time, and Infernape hadn't been able to fight back at all.

But in those few seconds, his speed not only didn't slow down, but became even more agile and swift. However, the result wasn't that Primeape was difficult to deal with, but rather his most successful counterattack.

Darkrai's eyes gradually returned to blue, and as its consciousness became clearer, the immense energy within its body gradually dissipated.

He had not lost his ability to fight; in fact, he still had plenty of energy, so continuing to fight would not be a problem at all.

The problem was that the Infernape's legs were already trembling. Exhausted, it had no choice but to support itself with its fists. Despite its exhaustion, its fierce eyes still showed no sign of losing their fighting spirit.

"Want to continue playing?"

"O!"

The fiery monkey didn't turn around, but instead expressed its will in a firm tone.

The Infernape had not lost its fighting ability or its fighting spirit, but when faced with an opponent who was also not defeated, its pride did not allow it to give up the fight first.

"Then let's continue."

Ash didn't ask for permission; rather, as if announcing a predetermined fact, he looked up at Darkrai and said this.

"..."

Darkrai raised his hands again, which had been lowered. In fact, there was no need to continue the battle at this point. If both sides were at a similar level, then Fighting-type skills could still play a role in bridging the inherent gap.

But my level is much higher than his, so this battle has been unfair from the start.

The fact that Primeape could achieve this far has completely exceeded Darkrai's expectations. It is a battle-hardened warrior with fighting skills that surpass those of ordinary Pokémon. However, Darkrai guessed that Primeape might have only undergone a single type of training, which is why it has strong skills but is still inferior in terms of raw power.

Simply put, it means your level is not high enough.

"Dar!"

Darkrai saw that Infernape was still standing still, only staring at him with a provocative look, as if it were declaring war on him, indicating that it was the strongest in this arena.

Darkrai had no reason not to accept the challenge from Primeape's provocation.

He was also very curious about how the other side had managed to detect his movements, and Darkrai would continue to give it his all this time.

Darkrai's eyes instantly turned blood red, and its figure disappeared from the spot in less than a second. In the blink of an eye, Darkrai had already arrived in front of Infernape, and its huge dark purple claws fell straight down on Infernape!

"O!"

Darkrai was incredibly fast, faster than anyone could imagine.

However, Infernape's punches are even faster.

Darkrai disappeared first, and Primeape threw a punch the next second. But in less than a second, Primeape's fist had already landed on Darkrai's face.

The Shadow Claw was only a tiny bit away from the Infernal Monkey, less than a centimeter away, but that tiny distance felt like an insurmountable chasm, and Darkrai's attack could no longer land an inch.

"O!!!"

A white light condensed on Infernape's fist, and as Infernape's fist was fully unleashed, a deafening roar erupted.

Darkrai's body flew out again, and in the same spot, it was slammed into the rock wall.

Darkrai's injuries this time are more severe than the last one.

With a furrowed brow, he floated out from the rock face.

He still couldn't understand why they couldn't detect him when he was outside the circle. All he got was this circle. No matter how fast he attacked, it seemed like Infernape could always lock onto him.

Perhaps it's not Incineroar?

Darkrai looked up at Ash.

"Shall we continue?"

Ash asked his Primeape.

This time, the Primeape didn't give Ash any answer. It just hung its arms down, as if to declare that it had used up all its strength.

Despite this, at this moment, Primeape stood tall like a victor, its gaze towards Darkrai filled with the unique pride of a winner. On this point, Primeape was absolutely unwilling to back down.

Darkrai remained silent, floating down from mid-air to the same level as Primeape and Ash, gazing quietly at Ash and awaiting his answer.

"It's really hard to keep up with your speed." Ash didn't have any intention of keeping it a secret.

"But thinking about it carefully, I don't need to keep up with your speed. After all, as long as Primeape adopts this posture, you will definitely be unable to resist the challenge. So I just need to focus all my attention on the small circle of space around Primeape."

He continued to explain, "So the space around Primal Monkey is like a domain. As long as you combine it with Primal Monkey's unparalleled punching speed that it has already honed, any enemy who steps into this domain will be attacked by Primal Monkey in an instant, or even less than half a second."

Absolute defense zone.

Xiao Zhi admits that he doesn't have a particularly good talent for naming things, but he is quite satisfied with this name.

This is a secret technique created by him and Infernape, and it is sure to be very effective against melee enemies.
