Chapter 73
The Evolution Method of the Blaze Monkey

“Blastoise, have you mastered a new skill?” Xiaomou said.

“Mii-lo!”

Blastoise was startled. It had indeed mastered a new skill, but it was awakened yesterday during the battle with Pikachu, and it was even awakened after the battle ended.

Blastoise was still normal when it fought Pikachu, but after being attacked by Pikachu, Blastoise became angry. As it got angrier, it inexplicably awakened a new skill.

Blastoise originally wanted to keep the new skill hidden, waiting to surprise its companions when they sparred later. It had never used the new skill once, how did Xiaomou know it had mastered a new skill?

“Don’t hide it, use it for me to see.” Xiaomou said.

“Mii-lo.”

Blastoise gathered its power, its right fist covered in shadow energy, it punched out. A gust of wind blew away the surrounding dust. The shadow energy on its fist formed a fist shadow, detaching itself from Blastoise’s fist, charging towards the ground.

Boom!!

The ground was struck by the Rage Fist, creating a small fist-sized pit.

Its power could only be described as mediocre, and Rage Fist was quite similar to Shadow Punch, both could detach from the fist and transform into a shadow fist for ranged attacks.

However, Rage Fist only had a power of 50, 10 points lower than Shadow Punch.

But Rage Fist had a powerful effect: in battle, every time Blastoise received an attack, the next Rage Fist’s power would increase by 50, with a maximum increase to 350, meaning that after receiving 6 attacks, Rage Fist would advance to its strongest power state.

“Mii-lo.”

Blastoise was furious, it had just confidently punched, but the power of this Rage Fist was too low, almost half lower than the Million Ton Kick, it was too humiliating.

“This skill is called Rage Fist, if you get hurt, its power will increase, its highest power will even exceed the power of Self-Destruct.” Xiaomou said.

“Mii-lo!” Blastoise was surprised, it had just awakened Rage Fist, and was not aware of its effect, it did not expect it to have such an effect.

“Mii-lo!”

Blastoise immediately summoned everyone who was training, “You all come and beat me this afternoon.”

Squirtle and the others were all confused, they didn’t know what had gotten into Blastoise, it actually wanted them to beat it up. This request was unheard of.

“Don’t be in a hurry, I told you all this because Rage Fist is related to whether you can evolve to your final form.” Xiaomou said.

“Mii-lo!!” Blastoise was shocked, it actually had an evolution form.

Currently, there are no wild Infernape in the Kanto region. This is because Infernape’s evolution method is too difficult. It can only be evolved with a trainer, and there is a chance it will evolve, wild Infernape basically don’t exist.

The evolution method requires Infernape to continuously use Rage Fist 20 times. In the wild, what kind of Pokémon could make Blastoise use Rage Fist 20 times without losing?

Moreover, although Blastoise has a fiery temper, it’s not stupid. When fighting against Normal-type Pokémon, it would see that Rage Fist is not effective, so it wouldn’t use it 20 times, would it?

There is only one possibility in the wild that could cause Blastoise to use Rage Fist 20 times in a row, and that is to enter confusion. Pokémon in the confusion status will act randomly, and there is a certain chance to continuously use Rage Fist 20 times, but the probability is infinitely close to zero.

“Mii-lo! Mii-lo!” Blastoise immediately asked what it could evolve into, wanting to see what it would look like after evolving.

“I don’t have a picture yet, but it’s very handsome.” Xiaomou said.

Infernape is very handsome. It has a Kunkun hairstyle and its whole body is the most popular gray color, girls would definitely like it.

“Mii-lo!” Blastoise heard that it was handsome, so it didn’t hesitate anymore, it wanted to evolve immediately.

Seeing that Blastoise had no objections, Xiaomou explained earnestly: “According to the descriptions of many Infernape trainers, all the Blastoise that evolve into Infernape are related to Rage Fist, and Rage Fist is Blastoise’s exclusive skill.”

“This skill can transform the anger inside you into a skill and release it. Based on your physical characteristics, every time you are attacked, the anger inside you will grow, like this.”

Boom!!

Xiaomou punched Blastoise in the head.

“Mii-lo!”

Blastoise was furious, but it held back for Xiaomou’s sake, as he was its trainer.

“Based on the conclusions reached by those trainers, and after my analysis, if Blastoise wants to evolve into Infernape, it needs to be in an extreme state of anger and continuously use Rage Fist, then there is a chance it will evolve.” Xiaomou said.

“Mii-lo?” Blastoise looked confused, the evolution method is so simple?

“Simple? Do you think any of the Pokémon in my hand can withstand your Rage Fist in a state of anger?” Xiaomou said.

Blastoise was immediately stunned. It wasn’t the strongest in the team, but it wasn’t weak either. Even Xiaomou’s Squirtle couldn’t continuously withstand its punches.

Let alone Rage Fist in a state of fury, its power is comparable to Self-Destruct. Let alone Squirtle, even if all of Xiaomou’s Pokémon attacked together, they wouldn’t be able to withstand Blastoise’s Rage Fist.

“Mii-lo? (What should I do?)”

“Although it is difficult, there are still ways. Rage Fist is a Ghost-type move and is ineffective against Normal-type Pokémon. Let you fight against Normal-type Pokémon, as long as you can maintain your anger state without losing control and use other moves.” Xiaomou said.

“Mii-lo…!” Blastoise froze, this requirement is a bit difficult.

Because when Blastoise is in an extremely angry state, it will enter a state of confusion. At that time, its only thought is to beat the opponent to death. It won’t consider what move to use in the end. It will basically use whatever move it has.

“Don’t worry, I will ask Nuzleaf to help. Use Confuse Ray to seal Sharpbeak's attack. When you attack Pidgeotto, only Rage Fist can attack it.” Xiaomou said.

“Mii-lo!”

Blastoise nodded. Since there is a method, what else is there to wait for, let’s get started.

“Not yet, you do your physical training first. We’ll talk about it when Nuzleaf and the others arrive.” Xiaomou said.

“Mii-lo.”

Blastoise nodded, wearing its shoe-mounted strength trainer and began its morning physical training.

About half an hour later, Nuzleaf, Brock, and Ash arrived. They had agreed the night before to train on Hypnosis with Golbat.

“Xiaomou, you started training your Pokémon so early.” Seeing Xiaomou, Ash was startled, he immediately walked over and was shocked when he saw the Pokémon Xiaomou let out.

“Ash, you have a Pidgeotto too?”

Seeing Pidgeotto, Ash was also surprised, he didn’t expect Xiaomou to have the same Pokémon as him.
