The shadow of the stick shines, and Ash parries Sika with difficulty with swift steps, which can be regarded as a stick attack in all directions. The sticks kept hitting together, and Ash's hands were shaken to the core. An unsuspecting squatting Sika stabbed him in the abdomen from the lower left and sent him flying out.

"Ahem..."

The pain almost robbed Ash of his intuition, but his will sustained him to return from his confusion.

It's not over yet!

He reopened his eyes and slammed his waist into force, barely adjusting his posture in mid-air as he had been after being knocked down by Sika countless times during his night practice, and landed half-crouched. But when he opened his eyes, Sika had already followed, and the bone rod that was split vertically did not leave any mercy.

Ash gritted his teeth, and the shield of the waveguide opened!

The bone rod collided with the shield fiercely, but the thunder and rain were quiet, and the slightest splash did not come out, and it was melted into the shield almost instantly. After jumping two or three steps backwards, Sika glanced at the crystal blue bone stick in his hand, which was already a short section, and silently pinched it gently, and the rest of the bone stick also shattered into crystal blue dust, drifting away with the wind.

Waveguides with the same fluctuation cannot hurt each other, and the only way to touch them is to be swallowed by a larger number of them.

If Sika injected more of his waveguide into the bone rod, although he could instantly suck out Ash's pitiful amount of waveguide energy, it would lose the meaning of testing.

Sika has tried his best to control his ability in the same state as Ash, the only difference is skill. But even so, Ash was still easily suppressed by Sika, the stick technique is the same, and the fighting technique is the same.

The two touched, and Sika took the lead in a horizontal punch that missed, and then the right arm of the attack crossed an arc and retracted his abdomen, and the arm just blocked Ash's counter-punch. Then a right-turned elbow slammed into Ash's waist, knocking him staggering. Before he could howl miserably, he bent down and threw his body to the left, and a leg whip from the lower right struck Ash directly.

With stiff movements and a slow pace of attacks, Ash is not a Pokémon after all, and naturally does not have the natural sense of rhythm and belligerence that Pokémon has. It's normal to be suppressed by Pokémon at the same level.

What's more, because Bird can't be obtained by exercising on his own, Sika, who always maintains his high-intensity fighting skills whenever he has free time, is naturally not without inheritance memories, and has been only training his physical fitness recently Xiaozhi can match. If Ash can't get used to this rhythm quickly, then this fight will be out of the way from the start.

Sika looked at Ash flying out without hesitation, stepped on the ground with both feet, and the figure rushed forward like a shadow.

"Ugh! ... Yes! ”

Ash was knocked out not far away, and made zero contact with the earth fiercely, and was still carried far away by inertia, plowing a small ravine. But there was no time for Ash to moan, and he had just gotten up from the pile of rocks when he noticed that the color in front of him suddenly darkened.

[It's over.] 】

Sika secretly thought to himself, and although it didn't use ordinary energy in it, it was enough to knock Ash to the ground.

"Whew!"

The sound of the wind blew in Sika's ears, but it didn't feel the impediment of the flying knee hitting its flesh, which made it stunned slightly. Under the conditioned reflex, Ash suddenly bent down and dodged the jumping Sika and hit him with a flying knee.

There was a hint of silence in Sika's eyes, and when he landed on the ground, he turned around to find that another slightly white fist was gradually enlarged in his eyes.

One hand and one claw suddenly collided, and there was a slight muffled sound, and the flames in Ash's eyes were the same as the flames in Sika's single eye.

"I know I can't beat you, but since it's a test, I always want you to see my efforts."

Ash's momentum drove his body into his body, and with the colliding hands as the fulcrum, he quietly turned sideways and shoveled out towards Sika's abdomen. However, Sika turned around indifferently and had already flashed Ash's attack in an instant, and then suddenly reached out and grabbed Ash's right hand, turned around with a force at the waist, and smashed Ash back directly to the ground!

A muffled sound, a scream.

[I see your efforts. However, even though you are a human being, why should you be obsessed with participating in the battle by yourself? 】

Looking at Ash, who was deep in the soil and coughing in pain, Sika stood there, the blue flame in his eyes slowly disappearing.

[As a trainer, isn't it enough to train your physical fitness and nerve reaction speed? 】

Waiting for Ash's cough to subside a bit, it turned and looked at the gravel field that had been raging.

Ash sat up weakly from the pit, then swayed, and slowly stood up reluctantly, the flames in his eyes had been extinguished, but he was silent.

[I know you want me to approve of you, obey you, and want to find some comfort for your pathetic self-esteem... I understand. But Ash, you don't feel like you're getting self-centered as you chase your goals. Or don't you think you're overlooking too much? 】

Looking at the clear sky after the rain, Sika didn't know what to think, and stood there, looking at a cloud in the sky.

[I was wrong before, maybe I should try to believe you. Or don't expect that much from you. Everyone has to grow, and I'm asking you too much... You're really good and you've worked hard. I hope that when I return, you will have the power to dominate me completely. 】

It closed its eyes slightly.

“...”

The whole body was in pain, but Ash didn't blame Sika much, but endured the pain and said loudly:

"Not domination."

“... It's together, we're friends. ”

Sika was stunned for a moment, and a smile wiped from the corner of his mouth facing the light.

It didn't seem to have to look back to see the seriousness and sincerity on Ash's tired and painful face.

“...”

“...”

“...”

“... Well, come back. ”

"Sika."

A red line shoots out.

...

It was already evening when Dr. Oki took Sika's Poké Ball, and he glanced at the communication phone that had been hung up early, then at the Poké Ball in his hand and nodded.

"Looks like you've gotten up to the point where Ash can't control you."

"Well, don't mind coming out and having a look. Although Poké Balls are very comfortable, it is always better to stretch out and move around than to shrink in Poké Balls. ”

As if hearing Dr. Ohki's words, the Poké Ball shook slightly.
