A/N:1/3 Bonus Chapters

-----------------------

Annihilape went first.

To allow Blaziken to attack freely, Annihilape had specially gone to find Gallade on the way over.

He had Gallade use Foresight on him so that Fighting-type moves could affect him.

If a battle could not have the feeling of fists hitting flesh, where was the passion?

A little stimulation from pain would help Annihilape better ignite his anger.

Annihilape beckoned, signalling for Blaziken to attack as much as he liked.

Relax!

I’ll hold back

Blaziken believed him.

He slowly moved his arms and legs, secretly using Bulk Up once.

Only then did he charge towards Annihilape, his two legs kicking out repeatedly.

Annihilape swung his fists and knocked Blaziken’s kicks aside.

Feeling the power coming through his fists, Annihilape revealed a satisfied expression.

Then Annihilape grinned.

Blaziken’s attack was over.

Now it was his turn to punch.

As Annihilape clenched his fist, pitch-black energy instantly covered it.

Rage Fist!

Annihilape thrust his fist forward, landing it squarely in Blaziken’s abdomen.

Blaziken’s eyes widened.

Wait...

The first Rage Fist should not be this strong, right?

Annihilape looked at his fist.

The two kicks Blaziken had landed earlier were not meaningless.

Two kicks meant two attacks.

Naturally, Rage Fist’s power had risen to three times its starting strength.

Of course one punch hurt.

Blaziken had only just steadied himself when Annihilape was already in front of him again.

Dynamic Punch!

Blaziken’s fist ignited with fire, and he directly clashed fists with Annihilape.

Julian was still discussing some details of the Pokémon food recipe with Professor Rowan.

Hearing the commotion, he looked out of the window.

Professor Rowan asked, "What happened?"

Julian replied, "Blaziken and Annihilape are sparring."

Professor Rowan immediately became interested.

"Point your computer’s basic data collector at the two of them and share the video with me."

"Let me have a look. Both Blaziken and Annihilape have become very valuable for research after passing through your hands. It seems your golden touch really does live up to its reputation."

Julian felt a little awkward.

He had not expected even Professor Rowan to know about the nickname.

"Professor, that’s just some Trainers making noise online."

Professor Rowan only smiled without saying anything.

Julian adjusted the camera and pointed it at Blaziken and Annihilape battling outside.

Annihilape really was not using his full strength, giving Blaziken the chance to activate Speed Boost.

As Blaziken’s attack speed grew faster and faster, a layer of dark red flame-like light surrounded Annihilape’s body.

Professor Rowan sighed in admiration.

"No matter how many times I see it, Annihilape’s talent is astonishing. Compared to Blaziken, Annihilape looks more like a Fire-type Pokémon."

The corner of Julian’s mouth twitched.

Does anger count as fire too?

Annihilape drove an elbow forward, making Blaziken stagger back several steps.

Blaziken dropped to one knee and could not stand for a long time.

Kommo-o pulled Annihilape back.

If Annihilape kept fighting, Blaziken would not have much stamina left.

Then how was he supposed to spar with him?

Annihilape had asked Gallade for help, and Kommo-o had also asked Gallade.

Gallade suddenly appeared on the grass with Teleport.

He raised a hand and released Heal Pulse, gradually removing Blaziken’s pain.

Blaziken quickly stood back up.

Kommo-o smiled and stepped forward, and Blaziken could only helplessly accept the battle.

When fighting Kommo-o, Blaziken felt as if he could not find any place to attack.

Kommo-o’s dragon scales had been tempered every day by repeatedly using Iron Defense and Autotomize, and their defensive power was far too high.

Gallade could not bear watching any longer and opened his mouth to give Blaziken guidance.

Now that he had reached the Blaziken stage, his astonishing jumping power and Speed Boost ability could finally begin showing their true value.

Clashing head-on with Kommo-o was not a wise choice for Blaziken.

Blaziken should make use of his speed advantage, jumping around while using Rock Smash to continuously weaken Kommo-o’s defence.

Blaziken’s eyes lit up.

Gallade had indeed given him a good idea.

With his speed and jumping power, there was no need to worry about Kommo-o counterattacking.

Can’t hit me. See? Can’t hit me

Seeing Blaziken’s pleased look, Gallade could not help shaking his head.

Blaziken had indeed landed several Rock Smashes on Kommo-o.

But his big brother was still his big brother.

The damage Blaziken caused was minimal.

Getting smug already was far too early.

Kommo-o suddenly swung his tail, and a powerful sonic blast exploded out.

Then his tail hooked down and directly pressed Blaziken to the ground.

Blaziken struggled hard to break free, but there was a considerable gap between his strength and Kommo-o’s.

Professor Rowan said, "Speed Boost means Blaziken doesn’t have to worry too much about speed. If his gluttonous talent is used well, it can train up exceptional strength and constitution."

"What you need to consider is only the power of Blaziken’s flames. Of course, you don’t necessarily have to raise Blaziken into a Pokémon with no weaknesses at all."

"Using flames as an addition while letting Blaziken focus mainly on close combat is also an excellent choice."

Julian nodded.

That was indeed his current direction for raising Blaziken.

"First, we’ll build his foundation properly. Evolving into Blaziken is only the starting point on his road to becoming stronger."

In truth, the power of his flames could be developed through the growth brought by Speed Boost.

And with Electabuzz around, Julian believed Blaziken would not neglect his flames.

Those two were bound to have a contest between lightning and fire sooner or later.

For many Trainers, evolving a Pokémon into its final form seemed to mean their training of that Pokémon had reached the finish line.

But!

For a Trainer with ambition, this was actually only the starting line of the road to becoming stronger.

The path ahead was filled with thorns, and they had to cut through them step by step.

Regional tournament Champion, Gym Leader, Elite Four, Champion — all of them were signposts along this road.

The necessity of a rival lay in what happened after you passed the signpost of Champion.

The only remaining goal would be your rival.

That prevented you from losing direction, walking the wrong path, or even standing still.

Professor Rowan nodded.

"These two recipes of yours are both good. I made a few small optimisations based on them."

Professor Rowan sent the improved recipe to Julian.

After reading it, Julian could not help sighing.

Professor Rowan really is a genuis

How is this an optimisation?

He had completely merged and elevated Julian’s two methods.

"Thank you, Professor."

Professor Rowan waved his hand.

"I’ll have Yuzo purchase the ingredients according to this recipe. They should arrive at Veilstone Gym within three days."

Julian nodded.

"I’ll return before then."

After hanging up, Julian walked out of the room and came to Blaziken with a smile.

Blaziken had only just stood up when he saw Julian’s smile, which was even more terrifying than Annihilape and Kommo-o combined.

"You only just evolved, and you’re already feeling pleased with yourself? Do you think you’re invincible now?"

Blaziken lowered his head and did not defend himself.

"You’ve already evolved, so your original training intensity no longer suits you. I just created a new training plan for you."

After hearing the training content, Blaziken’s mouth fell open in shock.

Julian glanced at Gallade, and Gallade used Heal Pulse to restore Blaziken.

"Train properly. Defeating Kommo-o and Annihilape isn’t a dream!"

Gallade smiled and revealed his elbow blades, issuing a challenge to Blaziken.

Blaziken was crying inside.

Demons!

You’re all demons!
