Pokemon: Release? Nonexistent

Chapter 1382 The Flash Returns

(Second update!! Please collect and send flowers!!)

Late at night Ash and his party spent the night by the lake. Early the next morning, Misty and Xiaogang were still at Rest, and Ash got up early.

When we arrived outside the tent, it was just dawn. Ash walked out alone, and Pikachu was still in the tent.

The other Pokémon slept next to each other on a makeshift wooden bed outside the tent, which was filled with Leafage as a mattress.

After Ash walked out, he came to the Pokémon and was careful not to disturb them. Instead, he patted Houndoom's side gently.

Houndoom quickly opened his eyes, and when he saw Ash, he knew what to do next. Houndoom stood up quickly, and then followed Ash and left the camp to find an open space.

"Houndoom, you should have remembered the feeling of Flare Blitz!"

After arriving at a quiet place and making sure not to disturb other Pokémon and Misty, Ash22 also spoke at the same time.

Ming woof!!

Houndoom nodded slightly. Although it was only used once, the basics were very good, so it felt like it had basically been remembered.

"Very good, but there will be more difficult training next. Next, I hope you can perform Flare Blitz under the Contest Condition of using return punch."

Ash looked at Houndoom's response and nodded appreciatively, and then proposed the next practice.

Houndoom was not surprised by the idea put forward by Ash, because it was not the first time it had practiced this kind of practice, and it had also practiced to become a dark fire ball before.

And Ash's expectations for Pokémon are not limited to its own positioning.

Just like the Elite Four and champions can often subvert the side effects of Attributes and unique moves, Ash also hopes so.

And that's not all. Houndoom's own special attack is stronger, but Ash doesn't want to give up other aspects because of this.

Although the progress will be faster and the effect will be more significant if it is fully developed, the shortcomings will also be obvious. It is nothing for Normal Rival, and it can be seen by the master at a glance.

Therefore, Ash hopes that his Pokémon can achieve a balance in various aspects. Although the progress will be slower, he can definitely catch up in the future.

Ash has been thinking about this trick for a long time. Because Houndoom knows how to return punches, Ash decided to let him try it.

The return punch is a unique move waiting for Rival to attack. Because it can rebound twice, it can be said to be extremely buggy. Ash has been thinking, is there any way to turn the return punch into an active attack?

You can't just hit him directly with a return punch, right? First of all, the force is very small. Even if there is a double rebound effect, it won't cause much damage to Rival.

And just in that case, Rival can easily avoid it, so it's not realistic at all.

Finally, I came up with a way, which is to use Flare Blitz to cooperate when combining the two moves.

Use Flare Blitz as propulsion to make it harder for Rival to dodge.

At the same time, once in this situation, Rival also uses physical attacks to counterattack, the consequence will be that Rival will not only have to bear the Flare Blitz attack, but also bear the double rebound effect of his own attack.

It can be said that this move will turn into the strongest spear that can break any resistance.

At the same time, the most subtle point is that Ash has not yet verified this. Ash remembers that in the game, if Flare Blitz misses, it will not cause damage to itself.

Therefore, there is reason to determine that Flare Blitz is the rebound effect caused by too much force when impacting Rival.

Flare Blitz itself is a physical attack, so it is naturally within the rebound range of the return punch.

So theoretically Ash believes that the rebound damage punch produced by Flare Blitz may also rebound.

The conclusion is that if you use a return punch when using Flare Blitz, the force of the rebound can be used to bounce back with the return punch, and you will not suffer any harm.

At the same time, the stronger the impact, the more damage Flare Blitz will cause to itself, so the force of the return punch will be stronger.

This actually greatly enhances the power of this new trick. Even if Rival does not counterattack with physical attacks, he still has to bear the side-effect damage received by Houndoom and the power of the return punch is doubled.

This is a move that is both offensive and defensive. Ash named this move Flash Return and has high expectations for this move.

Of course, this move is not without its flaws. After all, the return punch cannot be used as a special counterattack, and Houndoom does not have both a fist and a mirror coat like Wobbuffet.

"There's no way to tell whether it can be successful or not. Anyway, let's give it a try first!"

Ash spoke to Houndoom and immediately started trying.

Ming woof!!

After listening to Ash's words, Houndoom also began to try, lowering his body, and then a red light gradually appeared on his body, and he began to release his return punch.

"Great, next up is Flare Blitz!"

After Ash spoke, Houndoom's eyes were slightly stern, his body was trembling slightly, and he began to exude heat. Gradually, Houndoom frowned, looking like he was having a hard time.

Ming woof!!!

Houndoom gritted his teeth and suddenly let out a loud roar, and his body instantly burst into flames.

However, as flames erupted from his body, before entering the second stage of Flare Blitz, the light of the returning punch disappeared as the flames emerged, leaving only the power of Flare Blitz.

boom!!!

After a while, the flames on Houndoom's body dissipated, and he lowered his head slightly and gritted his teeth, looking a little reluctant.

"Did you really fail?"

Ash was not too surprised. From the very beginning when he started researching new tricks, he had never succeeded easily.

"Don't take it to heart, it's just the beginning, take your time!"

However, Ash didn't act too hastily. At least for now, there was no danger in the failure of this move.

And Ash also probably understood that this move is not like the first stage of Charizard Thunder Shock. It is actually easy to do it with one hand Fire Punch and one hand Thunder Palm. The difficult part is the fusion.

But since the return punch and Flare Blitz are both released from Houndoom's whole body, it is naturally more difficult to retain the two unique moves at the same time.

The body will automatically judge that another trick is being used and will turn off the current trick. This natural reaction of the body must be overcome. .
