"Throh, use Superpower!"
Seeing this, the muscles in Throh's body bulged, straining against his training suit, and he slammed his palm down on Primeape, who was already throwing a punch.
After taking the hit, Primeape's already agitated mood turned into a violent rage due to the physical pain, and his last shred of rationality vanished.
The Primeape has been attacked three times, and the Black Aura on its fist has become increasingly intense, bringing the power of its Rage Fist to 200.
The Black Aura on Primeape's fist solidified, enveloping his fist and enlarging it to ten times its original size.
The sheer aura alone made the Fighting type Pokémon Trainers on the platform feel threatened.
"Throh, use Wide Guard!"
Before the Fighting type Pokémon Trainer could finish speaking, another transparent energy shield appeared in front of Throh, blocking Primeape's punch once again.
However, the energy shield was also shattered into powder.
Without the Pokémon Trainer even saying anything, how come the Throh understands the terror of that opposing monkey better than its own Pokémon Trainer, and it's getting stronger as the battle goes on?
The Mat Block are gone...
Wide Guard is gone too...
So what should you use to block this punch?
"Hold on, Endure Throh Reversal! There's always a way out!"
The Fighting type Pokémon Trainer on the command panel knew that Throh couldn't withstand this punch. He just wanted to take another gamble and see if he could use Reversal to defeat Primeape after taking the hit.
Throh his hands clasped in front of his chest and a look of unwavering resolve in his eyes, the punch from Primeape landed squarely on his arms.
The Throh was knocked back dozens of meters by this force, leaving two Throh -like marks on the ground from its feet.
Just as the Throh was about to use his Reversal, he discovered that he had lost feeling in both arms.
Primeape had already arrived in front of him, its scarlet eyes making Throh tremble, and it unleashed another Rage Fist on Throh.
The Throh was sent flying by the punch, which was shrouded in Black Aura, onto the wall at the edge of the battlefield, revealing its ring-shaped eyes, and it lost its ability to fight.
This injury isn't right, is it?
Roy wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like Primeape had acquired the Ghost-type.
Firstly, Primeape's Popularity Points increases during battles.
Secondly, when Primeape's Rage Fist was imbued with that Black Aura, it seemed to have received a power boost from the Ghost type- type STAB move.
Otherwise, how could he have Throh to such a state with just one punch?
However, he still cannot communicate with Primeape, and Fighting type moves like Throh can also hit Primeape.
This is rather strange.
Schrödinger's "Ghost type"?
"The Throh is unable to fight; the winner is contestant number 99, Roy!"
Even if Throh's arm hadn't lost feeling, it still wasn't as fast as Primeape. The opposing Fighting type Pokémon Trainer was simply taking a gamble.
After the referee announced the result of the match, the audience members in the stands all stood up and cheered for Primeape as if they were in Fighting type tournament.
But Primeape remained standing motionless in the battle, not swinging his fists as he had done before after winning, but instead falling silent.
The Black Aura still lingered around Primeape's fist, the crimson in Primeape eyes hadn't faded, and his anger hadn't subsided despite defeating Throh.
In a blur, he saw the Throh that had been smashed against the wall transform into the Headband Guy.
Primeape's eyes widened. Without bothering to distinguish between truth and falsehood, his anger flared up again. He tensed the muscles in his arms, clenched his fists, and walked step by step toward Throh. He was going to smash this Headband Guy to pieces with one punch.
The audience was still confused about what Primeape was up to, but when they saw Primeape start running and Stockpile its punches, they realized it was planning to attack the Sawk Primeape.
"Uncle, something's wrong with Roy's Primeape!"
Ziyu looked at the Primeape below the arena with a puzzled expression. Erika strangely, since Primeape never acted like this before at the Dome Arena.
Second Kiku, who was observing the battlefield, stroked his chin. Having followed his elder brother in managing the battlefield for many years, he naturally noticed that something was wrong with the Primeape.
This also happened in the Unova Region Arena, where an Arbok went berserk.
The reason is that Arbok's Pokémon Trainer injected Arbok with a Rage Potion, but Roy's Primeape doesn't look like it was injected with the Potion.
Regardless of the reason, attacking Pokémon that has already lost its ability to battle is absolutely unacceptable in competitive battles.
This is a rule written out in the league's official guidelines:
If the opponent is determined to be incapacitated and the referee has declared the winner, absolutely! Absolutely! You are not allowed to attack the opponent's Pokémon again.
Roy's opponent, Fighting type Pokémon Trainer, tried to use Poké Ball to recall his Throh, but the red light from the Poké Ball was blocked by Primeape's body before it even reached Throh.
Primeape turned to look at the Pokémon Trainer of the Throh, its eyes filled with uncontrollable killing intent. The Fighting type Pokémon Trainer was so frightened by this look that he took a step back and slumped onto the command seat.
Just as Primeape was about to throw a punch at Throh, the announcer in the air reacted and quickly commanded his Charizard to come down and stop Primeape's action.
Roy noticed something was wrong with Primeape and took out Primeape Poké Ball to recall it, but the red light from the Poké Ball was blocked by the Black Aura on Primeape's body, preventing him from recalling it.
Seeing that the Poké Ball couldn't recall the Primeape, Roy stood on the command platform and shouted at the Primeape:
"Primeape! Stop right there!"
But Primeape seemed to be completely controlled by the Black Aura, unable to hear anything, and charged straight at Throwing Throh, who was slammed against the wall and couldn't be pulled off.
Roy was anxious and disregarded the rules of the Arena. He jumped down from the command platform, which was about 5 meters high. When he landed, he lightly bumped his feet and rolled to dissipate the force of the jump.
He then chased after Primeape, determined to stop Primeape mistake.
No?
The audience members were utterly incredulous after witnessing Roy's actions. "You... are you even human?"
"Holy crap, can it run that fast?"
"Never mind how fast he ran, just look at how he just jumped straight down from the 5-meter-high command platform."
"Ha, that's nothing. He's almost catching up to Primeape."
"What!????"
The entire audience saw Roy's speed increasing rapidly, and he was about to catch up with the Primeape ahead.
"Primeape! Stop! It's me! Roy!!"
Roy's voice finally entered Primeape's mind.
