99. The Return of the Monkey

"So? Why were you running?" The group followed Machoke and his trainer to a large dojo house, and Misty finally couldn't help but complain about this random guy they met.

"The reason is the re-!" The uncle was really exhausted and couldn't speak clearly. He could only point in the direction of the house, and they began to understand it soon.

Sure enough, several Trainers came out of the house, bringing Fighting-type Pokémon with them, calling this uncle "Teacher"!

This uncle is really a martial artist like Ash originally thought.

In front of all his students, the uncle stood up forcefully and put on a very dignified look, "Have you practiced well?"

They all said yes at the same like it has been practiced several times.

"Ash and everyone present, I welcome you to the Cianwood City Gym! I am a Trainer who uses Fighting-type Pokémon and the Gym Leader of the City Cianwood Gym, Chuck!" The self-introduction was actually quite impressive, if only ge could stop being out of breath after saying it, that would have made it a much better introduction.

After hard training, there is something very important one must do. EAT!

"Let's go, let's eat! Eat as much as you can! Eat as much as you can! Only when you are full can you have the strength to fight!" Chuck was very sincere and filled Ash's bowl with a large portion of rice and other things.

"Thank you, it's very delicious!" Molly was the first in the group to start and finish. She was very happy to eat the food, it must have been the good.

"What a cute little girl, please eat more if it's delicious!" Chuck's wife was very happy that her cooking was praised, and she was also very happy to see them eating happily.

"You should be the challenger this time, right?" She looked at Ash, "You must work hard and beat down my husband as soon as possible!"

'Where have the we heard this before?' The original Kanto group thought.

If their memory serves correctly, Anthony's daughter seemed to have come to Ash back then, asking him to knock down Anthony so he would return back to his family.

But judging from the loving couple they are, it doesn't seem like Chuck is the kind who will leave his wife. It's most likely because he trains way too much.

After having enough drinks and food with everyone, Ash was not in a hurry to battle in the Gym, he planned to go to the Pokémon Center first to digest it and get something done.

"It tasted really good!" Misty also approved of today's meal and planned to go for a walk with Ash, otherwise she would gain weight from overeating and not enough exercise.

"No, it's not just about the taste! It's low in fat, high in protein, and easy to digest and absorb! This kind of food is perfect for replenishing the physical strength of Trainers and their Pokémon after a long day of hard work!

Brock looked at a table of clean plates and said seriously, "This gym is very efficient and pays attention to their scientific training in both body and technique!"

"I'm going to ask madam for advice. Ash, your Pokémon training is very intense now. I think this recipe will be very helpful to you!"

With the Breeder Brock is, it really saves Ash a lot of worries about things like these.

"After eating, it's time to exercise and burn those calories! Ash, let's fight!" After eating, Chuck's physical strength seemed to have been restored to its usual.

But Ash apologized and said, "Mr. Chuck, I need to go to the Pokémon Center first and exchange a few Pokémon. Is that okay with you?"

After hearing Ash's words, Chuck nodded readily and let him go.

"Ash, I was just looking for you. That Anthony, whom you asked me to help contact, has news for you!" As soon as the call was answered, Professor Oak told Ash the good news he wanted.

"Really? What does my Primeape say?" Ash said in surprise.

"No problem, Anthony has retired and is now a coach, so Primeape will no longer have the chance to compete in the ring, so it's just the right time to give him back to you, his rightful trainer. I've already got his Poké Ball with me!" Professor Oak said with a smile.

He has already checked this Primeape. It is very strong. Ash has gained another good partner for his current team!

"How about it? Do you want me to teleport him to you?"

"Yes, I also want to thank you for Heracross!"

Ash originally planned to get his Heracross to come back and use a Fighting-type to fight against another Fighting-type Pokémon.

He wanted him to have a head-to-head, fist-to-fist confrontation.

Moreover, Ash's Heracross had a very high degree of compatibility with him from the moment he was caught by Ash.

However, it was later sent to Professor Oak for research purposes, and he then scrambled to evolve his Three Royal Starters, so Heracross's Bond Evolutions was delayed. However, from what he heard from Slowking and others showed that Heracross was training very hard in order to catch up with all his other Pokémon's.

Although Ash understands in his heart that not every Pokémon can complete their Bond Evolutions with him, there is no reason why Heracross cannot complete his with such a high degree of compatibility witb him!

"But Ash, you already have 6 Pokémon with you? Which one are going to exchange for?You know, you could always send that Raikou of yours." Professor Oak really misses Raikou!

Ash didn't refuse him this time, "Then I will send over my Raikou and Tyranitar over to you!"

"As expected, I knew you were hiding something from me. But I really didn't expect you to a catch a Tyranitar so soon!" Professor Oak's eyes lit up. Now all the exper- research he could do them is going to a whole new level.

Now no theives even dare to walk around or come close to his lab and the backyard because of all big guys in Ash's team!

Blastoise, Venusaur, Typhlosion, Houndoom, Rhydon, Slowking, Snorlax, etc. Now another new member is sent back, this time it is a Tyranitar. He hoped at least this big guy has a better temper than the rest!

"Don't worry, she is very obedient and plays with Molly all the time. She might look scary but she is actually very kind and soft. Take good care of her." Ash discovered that Molly has a special talent and can play well with all his Pokémon, even grumpy ones like Houndoom and Typhlosion.

Since she was going to be sent back, Ash exchanged it for a Muscle Band and gave it to Tyranitar. For her, a strong body is her strongest weapon!

"Show them your fist, Primeape!" Arriving at the backyard of the Pokémon Center, Ash released his Primeape after a very long time.

This Primeape is the eighth Pokémon that Ash captured while traveling in the Kanto Region. At that time, the predecessor Ash heard that Gary had sent back dozens of Pokémon back to the Professor. When he met Primeape, which was still Mankey at the time, it even snatched away his hat, so he became angry with it and chased it.

Later, it went on a rampage and evolved into a Primeape, but was still caught by his predecessor.

The pure Fighting-type Primeape is very strong and wears black rings on his limbs.

After being trained by Anthony and fighting in the ring for a long time, it has reached a height of 1.3 meters. It is also wearing the championship belt after winning the P1 competition. This is his glory!

"Primape, long time no see buddy!"

Unexpectedly, Primeape suddenly launched an attack, hitting Ash with a left uppercut.

The punch was fast, fierce and menacing, but Ash's whole body flashed with a dazzling blue light and he moved to avoid the punch!

However, Primeape, who had been active in the ring for a very long time, attacked with an overwhelming force. Seeing that Ash successfully avoided it, Primeape grinned and seen to say, "It's looks like you have also been training hard, Ash!"

"Well done!"

Ash seemed to be using a version of Armament Haki with his Aura to protect himself and also to hit back. He raised his hand to block the blow, then took the initiative and punched Primeape in the face.

Seeing this, Primeape's feet were became even faster. It seemed that with just a slight tap, he took a small step back and avoided the punch Ash gave him. Then he squatted down and punched Ash in the stomach!

Whether it's his reactions, skills, or strength, Primeape has been trained extremely well!

"ASH!"

This series of battles happened in an instant. Only then did Brock react and exclaimed.

However, Primeape stopped in time, put down his posture, and actually pulled off his belt and handed it over to Ash.

Looking at its narrow pupils, Ash seemed to understand his meaning!

The previous glory and achievements are in the past, now he has returned, and its glory will be created with Ash!

Ash took off the belt and put his hat on Primapes head, "Welcome back, partner!"

Primeape: 180/220
