"Cave..."Bruce returned Ralts to its Poke Ball and released Blaziken in its place.
The location given by Master Sugar Ray was very vague, just a "northwest direction." Bruce simply took out his compass and walked northwest.
The information about the location is very vague, meaning this cave must be very conspicuous and easy to find.
With Blaziken on standby, few wild Pokemon would dare to attack.
Bruce and Blaziken walked through the dense forest, and after a while, the landscape in front of them became increasingly open.
At the end of the path, a dark hole appeared.
"Should it be here?" Bruce squinted and murmured quietly.
"It's really conspicuous."
Bruce walked quickly towards the entrance of the cave, which was about two meters tall, with bare rock walls on either side stretching far ahead.
"Are there Pokemon around here?" Bruce didn't rush into the cave but turned to Blaziken and asked.
Since this is a test, getting the golden belt is second; the most important thing is the tribulations they will encounter on the way.
Master Sugar Ray definitely wouldn't let the test be passed easily and would set up some levels, like non-lethal but troublesome traps, such as Pokemon hidden in the dark, etc.
"Ha~"
Blaziken shook its head, indicating that there were no wild Pokemon around.
"Well, let's go in then." Bruce nodded slightly and followed Blaziken into the cave.
Before walking a few steps, Bruce noticed that the interior of the cave was very dark, and he couldn't see his fingers.
Bruce thought for a moment and released Kirlia again.
"Please," said Bruce.
"Kirlia~" Kirlia clasped her hands in front of her chest, and dazzling white light radiated from her body, lighting up the path ahead.
Flash, a must-have move for adventure.
Although Blaziken can provide light through the flames released from its wrists, its visibility and duration are not as good as Flash.
Under the illumination of Flash, Bruce continued to move deeper into the cave.
But it didn't take long before Bruce encountered the first problem.
There was a fork in the road ahead, and the original path split into two, each leading in a different direction.
"No wonder time is limited, we have to return before sunset," Bruce murmured.
Then, Bruce carefully examined the fork in front of him, and after confirming there were no relevant clues, he whispered, "If you make a mistake, you'll probably waste a lot of time.
I'm not afraid of others, but I'm afraid that after walking down a certain path for a long time, I'll finally realize it was the wrong one...
That would waste all the time."
Thoughts passed through his mind as Bruce raised his hand and threw a Poke Ball, and Metang made its debut.
"Metang, you and I will take the left path.
Blaziken, you and Kirlia, take the right path," Bruce said, looking at the three Pokemon.
Then, he looked back at Kirlia and said, "The two of us must stay in contact. If your path gets blocked, come to me with Blaziken using Teleport."
"Kirlia~"
Kirlia nodded slightly to show her understanding.
Bruce's method was simple: he split himself and his three Pokemon into two teams, each taking a path.
He and Kirlia could establish a psychic connection, which is somewhat like telepathy, meaning they could hear each other's thoughts and use each other's location as coordinates.
Teleportation isn't aimless; it doesn't move arbitrarily—it needs the support of coordinates.
In other words, if you want to teleport, you need to fulfill the prerequisites.
This means you must have seen the place you want to teleport to, so that as long as the place is within the range of Teleport, you can imagine it in your mind and reach it instantly.
Second, you need supportive teleportation coordinates.
Kirlia, who can establish contact with Bruce through Psychic, is one of those coordinates.
If neither of these conditions is met, the Teleportation won't happen.
Bruce is with Metang because Metang can protect him, and Metang has Psychic, so Bruce can take him directly to teleport.
As for this point, Bruce has done an experiment, and when he takes Metang with Psychic to teleport, the distance of movement increases.
Poor Metang, obviously a Psychic-type Pokemon, in the end couldn't master Teleportation.
On the other hand, Kirlia and Blaziken are equally reasonable. With Kirlia's current psychic power, it's not a problem to take Blaziken to teleport hundreds of meters.
In short, whichever side of the path gets blocked, they'll teleport immediately.
"Alright, let's go."
Bruce clapped and led Metang down the left path.
Kirlia also followed Blaziken down the right path.
At the same time, the psychic fluctuations in Bruce's body vented, establishing a connection with Kirlia in his mind, and he could faintly perceive her position.
This path was still dark and eerie, but fortunately, Metang could also use Flash to provide light.
The surroundings were very quiet, only the sound of Metang flying in Bruce's ears.
As they walked, Bruce confirmed that the connection with Kirlia hadn't broken.
About ten minutes later, Bruce suddenly heard a small sound from ahead.
"Be careful," Bruce reminded Metang softly.
Metang opened its large red eyes and soon saw a pale yellow Pokemon appearing in front of it.
It had two large claws, a white belly and mouth, and dark brown spikes on its back.
Bruce looked closer, it was a professional-level Sandslash, level 34.
This Sandslash seemed to be waiting specifically for Bruce to calm down, and when Bruce saw it, Sandslash waved its paw and stared at him.
Bruce understood that this was a mob blocking the path.
"You can handle this yourself." Bruce looked at Metang, who was ready to go, and said.
"Metang!" Metang couldn't wait to greet it.
"Don't use Beat Up," Bruce reminded.
Sandslash took the lead in the attack, moving quickly and waving its sharp claws toward the approaching Metang.
"!!Metang!"
Metang knew it had tough skin and thick flesh, and such a small attack couldn't harm it.
It resolutely faced the attack head-on, and Sandslash's yellow claws slashed fiercely with astonishing momentum!
Whoosh!
The claws clashed, and the black pupils of the mountain master and Metang's red pupils stared at each other.
The next moment, Sandslash let out a dull cry of pain, and a scar appeared on its white abdomen, causing it to take two steps back unconsciously.
Metang smiled triumphantly and decided to take advantage of its victory to continue the attack. It immediately unleashed all its strength, gathered its powerful force, and rushed toward Sandslash!
Boom!
Sandslash was hit head-on and flew several meters, landing heavily on the ground.
Seeing that Sandslash was incapacitated, Metang showed a satisfied smile.
"Continue," Bruce said calmly.
Nowadays, it's quite easy for Metang to eliminate a wild Pokemon of a professional level.
Bruce and Metang continued down the path, and after another twenty minutes, Bruce felt that his connection with Kirlia weakened slightly.
"Maybe the distance has gotten longer," Bruce guessed silently.
However, at that moment, Kirlia's voice sounded in Bruce's mind.
This probably meant there was no way forward for them.
"Of course, once you go, if you can't find the way to the correct path, you'll lose a lot of time," Bruce sighed softly.
As a result, Bruce quickly asked Kirlia to bring Blaziken back using Teleport.
A moment later,
There were slight ripples in the space in front of Bruce, and in an instant, Kirlia and Blaziken appeared out of nowhere.
"Kirlia~"
Kirlia trotted over to Bruce and bowed slightly.
"You did a great job." Bruce bent down and stroked Kirlia's little head.
"Now we can make it to the end," Bruce stood up and Metang looked ahead.
He then looked back at his phone. It was almost five in the afternoon, and there was still some time before the mountain would be too far.
Immediately, Bruce let the three Pokemon stay outside and walked forward.
Along the way, he encountered several professional Pokemon again, and all of them were easily dealt with by the three Pokemon.
Bruce couldn't help but wonder, "It can't be a coincidence, can all the Pokemon appear at the professional level?"
"...request flowers..."
"Could it be because of Master Sugar Ray's question?"
"If the Pokemon to be designated is of Ace level, will the Pokemon appearing in the cave be of Ace level?"
One question after another arose from the depths of his heart, but Bruce suppressed them, only to see some Cal appear suddenly not far ahead.
Since there were Cal, it meant there was an exit.
Bruce quickened his pace and walked forward.
Two or three minutes later, an open circular area appeared in sight, surrounded by rock walls, and above the center was a hole through which rays of sunlight fell.
Meanwhile, directly below the opening, sits a hulking, cross-legged Pokemon.
Its appearance is similar to that of a human, but it has light blue skin, four thick arms, and three shingle-shaped bumps on its head.
Most strikingly, he wears a dazzling golden girdle around his waist.
This is not the golden girdle worn by Machamp himself, but a clearly artificial golden girdle.
Bruce understood the meaning of Master Sugar Ray , defeated this Machamp and won the golden belt.
[Pokemon: Machamp (Fight)
Ability: Perseverance
Qualification: Master
Level Lv 42 (Ace)]
Seeing the level of this Machamp, Bruce arched his eyebrows.
As an Ace level Machamp, Master Sugar Ray didn't even think of letting himself pass this test, did he?
Machamp's four arms are both offensive and defensive, and it has no dead ends in close combat.
For Blaziken, this is a powerful opponent to approach with caution.
But Blaziken is never afraid of strong foes, he came here to hone his fighting skills.
Blaziken took a step forward, as Machamp slowly straightened up, the two Pokemon faced each other and the battle was imminent.
Bruce stood in the corner with two Pokemon, not disturbing the battle.
Machamp took the lead in the attack, it ran straight towards Blaziken, one of its palms turned into a sharp knife, bursting with white light, and slashed violently towards Blaziken!
Blaziken's gaze was fixed, and he shook his fists entrenched in flames, and the stream of flames surged, and directly met Machamp!
boom!
In an instant, the two Pokemon violently collided midway, Machamp's momentum was like a rainbow, and the strength of his entire body gathered in the palm of his hand, making it difficult to stop him.
But Blaziken was no slouch either and threw both fists, like Horatio, launching several punches in a row, 'bang bang bang' on Machamp's body.
Ignite Ember.
Machamp's eyes glowed brightly, giving people a strong sense of oppression. He dropped the knife in his hand and his palms also glowed with fire, with flames rooted in them.
He changed tactics and decided to answer Blaziken also with Fire Fist.
Explosion! Explosion! Explosion! Explosion!
In a short period of time, the two Pokemon fiercely collided with Fire Fist, and flames burst all over their bodies, and they crashed into each other.
Not long after, obvious fist marks appeared on Blaziken's abdomen and shoulders.
The same goes for Machamp. Blaziken's punches are extremely fast, like rushing waves, making him feel very uncomfortable and slightly hurt.
After a while, the two Pokemon also took two steps back, keeping a safe distance, panting slightly for each other and staring at each other.
This time the contest turned out to be very evenly matched.
"Master Sugar Ray's Machamp should have trained it himself," Bruce thought to himself.
Ordinary wild Pokemon that just entered Ace level can't keep up with Blaziken.
Besides, if Machoke wants to evolve Machamp, it will have to exchange it through communication.
After a brief rest, Blaziken's eyes became sharp and full of fighting spirit. He took a step forward and ran towards Machamp.
This time he resorted to hand-to-hand combat.
Seeing Blaziken like this, Machamp nodded slightly, waving his four arms together, and the wind howled, with terrifying momentum.
He advanced in long strides, using the same move as in Close Combat.
Bruce suddenly felt that this Machamp decided to use the same move again, as if it was giving some kind of instructions to Blaziken.
Explosion! Explosion! Explosion! Explosion!
The two Pokemon collided with each other in an instant, initiating a fierce confrontation of fist against flesh.
This time, all four of Machamp's arms moved at the same time, and it seemed to be coming from four different directions, making it impossible for Blaziken to dodge and block five.
