Pokémon Heart Journey

At this moment, Xiaomao, who had been silent the whole time, opened his eyes slightly and looked at Xiaozhi, then said very arrogantly: "It seems that you are quite self-aware. As a trainer, you let your Pokémon in danger. It's really dereliction of duty. I think you should stop being a trainer and just go back home."

"you!"

After hearing what Xiaomao said, Xiaozhi did not make any move. Instead, Sundae on the side got angry. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute something, Xiaozhi spoke first and said, "No, Sundae is not wrong. This is indeed my dereliction of duty."

Seeing Xiaozhi like this, Sundae couldn't help but stop, glared at Xiaomao fiercely, then sat back down. Then she suddenly remembered something, and glanced at Hanako opposite her with a guilty look, while the other party squinted and looked at her and Serena gently, which made her feel even more guilty, and she slowly lowered her head.

"but…"

At this moment, Xiaozhi slowly raised his head, looked at Xiaomao opposite him, and said: "Although it is a bit late to say this now, I will never make such a mistake again."

In response to this, Xiaomao raised his eyebrows slightly, then stood up, took out the Poké Ball and pointed it at Xiaozhi, saying: "Words are not enough, as a trainer, you should speak with your strength."

"Hey! But now..."

Normally, Xiaozhi would never refuse a battle, but the problem was that the focus had not yet been resolved.

At this moment, Professor Oak suddenly coughed lightly and said to Satoshi: "Actually, the way to save Infernape is also related to the battle."

"Battle?" Xiaozhi couldn't help but look at Damu Snow Castle with some confusion.

At this moment, Yulongdu on the other side suddenly said, "Xiaozhi, you should know that when a Pokémon enters the King level from the Quasi-King level, there will be a qualitative change, right?"

In response to this, the little wise man nodded slightly. He understood this point.

At this moment, Xiao Yang suddenly understood what they meant and couldn't help but say, "You mean to let the Fire Monkey successfully enter the Heavenly King level during the battle. In this way, you can use the energy gained from entering the Heavenly King level to solve his current problem, right?"

Hearing what Xiaoyang said, Xiaozhi couldn't help but look at them, and Ohgi Xuecheng nodded slightly and said: "Yes, that's right. The qualitative change brought about by the King level, as well as the energy and vitality generated in it, are enough to solve Infernape's current problems."

Hearing him say this, Xiaozhi hurriedly stood up and said excitedly: "Then what are we waiting for, let's start the battle now!"

"Haha, just like Serena and the others said, Xiaozhi-kun is a very energetic person." At this moment, the woman who was silently making tea like Yamato Nadeshiko suddenly spoke.

Seeing this, Serena on the side hurriedly said to Xiaozhi: "Xiaozhi, this is the gym leader of the Rainbow Gym, Miss Lijia."

"Hey! Why is Miss Lijia, the gym leader of the Rainbow Gym, here?"

Rika covered her mouth with her hand, smiled gently and said, "Because I'm the gym leader of Rainbow City. Team Rocket's base was discovered in Rainbow City, so how could I not come? Not to mention that Champion Oak and two of the Four Heavenly Kings are here, so I should do my best to play the role of host."

Xiaozhi nodded slightly, then cast a puzzled look.

Xiao Yang, who was standing by, was speechless when he saw this. He certainly understood what Xiaozhi wanted to ask, but considering that Aunt Hanako was here, he stopped thinking about punching Xiaozhi on the head and said, "You forgot about Infernape's current condition. How could he possibly fight in his current condition? Moreover, he is only at the advanced Quasi-King level. If he wants to break through to the King level in one go, I don't need to explain how difficult it is, right?"

Hearing him say this, Xiaozhi also recalled the situation of Infernape on the hospital bed, and couldn't help but lose his temper. He said with some annoyance: "Then what should we do?"

Xiaozhi couldn't help but scratch his head, then looked at Champion Oak with a little hope.

Champion Oak couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, and said to Xiaozhi: "Actually, I don't have any good solution for this. I can only let him fight by force and try."

Hearing what the other party said, Serena couldn't help but cover her mouth and said in disbelief: "Mr. Champion, you mean to let Infernape fight in its current state, right? That's too cruel!"

In response, Oak Champion nodded gently, then looked at Xiaozhi and said, "This is the only way at the moment. As for how to go from Quasi-King to King level in one go... Honestly, if it's a normal Pokémon, there really is no way. But Xiaozhi's Infernape is different. Kikuko told me that Infernape has a special fire, right?"

In response, Xiaozhi nodded slightly.

"During the battle, use his special fierce fire and completely transform it into his own energy. With this energy and the enlightenment generated during the battle, he will definitely be able to break through to the king level in one fell swoop," Champion Oak continued.

Then, he looked at Xiaozhi again and said, "But these are just my theories. In fact, there is no case to use as a reference. The possibility of success is less than 1%. So Xiaozhi, you can first discuss with Infernape whether to use this method. At the same time, be mentally prepared."

Hearing what the other party said, Xiaozhi just nodded slightly, without much disappointment. He raised his head, smiled slightly, and said: "Thank you Mr. Oak, as long as there is hope, we will not give up, I will talk to him properly."

Champion Oak nodded slightly and said, "There's no need to do that. Protecting all Pokémon is one of the responsibilities of a champion. You should go and have a good talk with Infernape first. The battle will take place at night at the battle venue in the Pokémon Center."

.........

"Here's the thing, Infernape, I know this is a little difficult to ask, but I still hope you can participate in the battle tonight."

At this time, Xiaozhi had already arrived at Infernape's ward. With the guarantee of Champion Oak, Xiaozhi obtained Miss Joy's permission and went inside to explain the situation to Infernape.

Except for Xiaozhi, all his remaining Pokémon came here, even all the Pokémon that were originally with Raiju were brought here (the champion and the Elite Four have the authority to lift the limit on the number of Pokémon, and Champion Oak gave him a special favor), and they just gathered around Infernape.

Infernape looked at the Pokémon and Ash around it, and finally stood up slowly and nodded gently to them.
