Chapter 189: Rage Fist? Death Fist!

Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Rage Fist? Death Fist!

According to the data, the Primeape of the Great Crater of Paldea had an extra trace of Ghost energy inside their bodies compared to Julian’s Primeape.

It caused subtle changes in their bodies.

The greatest influence brought by this Ghost energy was on Primeape’s fists.

It allowed Primeape to produce greater output when throwing punches.

Julian’s Primeape actually had a similar structure in his fists.

But that was the result of continuous training with the Normal-type move Rage and the Fighting-type move Dynamic Punch.

Paldean Primeape, on the other hand, had developed it through using a new move.

Cynthia’s eyes lit up.

"Rage Fist! They’ve mastered Rage Fist, the move necessary for evolving into Annihilape!"

Julian smiled slightly.

"Primeape, can you show us Rage Fist?"

The Primeape looked at Julian in confusion.

They knew quite a few punching moves, and every punch they threw was full of anger.

Julian smiled and explained, "It’s the move where you gather your rage into your fist, and as the battle continues, its power keeps increasing. Eventually, it even feels like you’re punching your own soul out..."

"Rage Fist!"

The Primeape immediately showed frightened expressions and waved their hands in panic.

"Primeape!"

Can’t use it! Can’t use it!

We will die!

Julian used Aura to communicate with them.

"Why can’t you use it?"

The Primeape hurriedly explained.

Because the power of Rage Fist rose with each punch.

By the seventh punch, driven by rage pushed to its limit, there would be a feeling of striking out with both their life force and soul at once.

Originally, this Primeape group had contained more than twenty Primeape.

Every time they encountered a powerful enemy they could not defeat, one Primeape would step forward and use Rage Fist to drive the enemy away.

The ultimate seventh punch fused life force and soul together before striking them out.

That life-burning punch could not be blocked by any Pokémon.

Not even Paradox Pokémon could withstand it!

Throwing the soul out was easy.

But pulling it back was difficult.

What Rage Fist?

This was practically a death senetence!

But Julian felt that if the soul and life force that had been punched out could be pulled back...

Perhaps that would allow Primeape to evolve into Annihilape!

This primitive evolution method was very dangerous, but the Annihilape that evolved from it would also be stronger.

As for Julian’s Primeape, that state where rage drove the soul and left it half-separated from the body...

Perhaps after experiencing it a dozen or so times, Primeape could evolve into Annihilape all the same.

Julian already knew this information. Now was the perfect time to tell Cynthia.

Cynthia frowned.

"I didn’t expect Annihilape’s evolution to be this dangerous. If it isn’t necessary, evolution may not be required."

"Even without evolving, Primeape is still a powerful Pokémon."

Julian nodded in agreement.

"Of course I know. But you also understand Primeape’s talent. His infinitely expanding rage naturally touches his soul."

"Only by evolving into Annihilape can Primeape’s talent be fully displayed without continuing to endanger his life."

As Primeape trained, the upper limit of rage he could generate had already increased quite a bit.

Just now, when he used fifteenfold rage to empower his punch, his soul had stood stably inside his body and had not been pulled out by anger.

Primeape confidently bumped his fists together.

"Primeape!"

Even without Rage Fist, he could still evolve into Annihilape!

Such a heroic declaration moved all the Primeape present to tears.

One Primeape stood up.

He was willing to demonstrate Rage Fist for Julian’s Primeape!

Boss Primeape had helped them drive away Slither Wing.

How could they not repay him?

Wasn’t it just the dreaded Death Fist?

He would throw it!

This Primeape came in front of Julian’s Primeape.

To perform Rage Fist, it was best to have an opponent.

The Primeape asked Julian’s Primeape to act as his opponent.

Primeape took a deep breath and told Julian’s Primeape to be careful, and not to get injured by the final punch.

Julian’s Primeape nodded, telling the Primeape to bring it on.

Black flames gathered around Primeape’s fist as he punched towards Julian’s Primeape.

Julian’s Primeape stood in place and forcefully received Rage Fist.

Primeape retreated, then gathered power and used Rage Fist again.

After throwing the punch, Primeape froze instead.

Why had the power of Rage Fist not increased?

Julian’s Primeape was also somewhat stunned.

This move was not bad. It gave him the feeling of rage from death.

There was a determination in it, as if even death would not stop it from defeating the enemy.

But...

The power of Rage Fist was honestly a little underwhelming.

When it landed on Primeape, he could not say it did not hurt, but it did not really feel like much.

Under Primeape’s deliberate control, it did not even draw out his rage.

Julian spoke.

"Primeape, try punching Primeape once."

Julian’s Primeape did not understand, but still followed his Trainer’s instruction.

He did not use much strength and even let the other Primeape prepare its defence first.

One punch landed, and the Primeape felt its arm go slightly numb.

Boss’ fist is so powerful!

The Primeape showed admiration.

He really wanted to know how he had trained.

"Primeape, use Rage Fist again!"

Primeape nodded and used Rage Fist once more.

Its power instantly doubled!

The punch landed on Julian’s Primeape, directly making him plough two long trails through the ground.

This power!

Julian’s Primeape immediately gained a clear understanding of Rage Fist.

Crimson rage appeared alongside Primeape’s smile.

He condensed his anger and threw a punch at the Paldean Primeape.

This punch already carried a little of Rage Fist’s essence.

The Paldean Primeape raised its arms to block and was sent rolling backwards several times.

After climbing back up, it used Rage Fist again!

The power doubled once more!

Cynthia’s pupils shrank slightly.

"The power of Rage Fist has already risen to the level of many type ultimate moves."

"You said just now... that the seventh punch is when Rage Fist reaches its maximum power?"

Julian nodded.

"That’s right."

In an instant, Cynthia seemed to understand why Julian was so determined to let Primeape master Rage Fist and evolve.

Julian’s Primeape’s natural talent was extremely similar to Rage Fist.

Once he mastered Rage Fist, it would be like giving wings to a tiger!

Among Cynthia’s own Pokémon, aside from Garchomp, there seemed to be none whose talent exceeded Primeape’s!

After that punch, Julian hurriedly called for both Primeape to stop.

The Paldean Primeape froze.

Hadn’t they wanted to see the complete Death Fist?

Julian smiled and explained, "Primeape and I only wanted to understand Rage Fist. We don’t want your lives."

After hearing Julian’s words, the Primeape present all raised their fists, eagerly volunteering to demonstrate Rage Fist for Julian’s Primeape.

Primeape accepted all comers and fought every Primeape up to the third punch.

Primeape suddenly discovered that Julian had actually explained quite a few training points related to Rage Fist before, adapting them into his usual training.

But Primeape also discovered that he could not master the complete Rage Fist.

It always felt as though something was missing inside his body.

Seeing him a little depressed, the Paldean Primeape took out their treasured fruit and shared them with him.

Primeape was very depressed, so he ate all the fruit.

Julian and Cynthia scanned the Paldean Primeape one by one.

They discovered that all of them possessed that unique Ghost energy.

Perhaps this was the real reason they could use Rage Fist.

Julian rubbed his chin.

"Next, we need to see what caused the Primeape of Paldea to accumulate this Ghost energy..."

Cynthia nodded.

"Scan your Primeape. We’ll compare the data."
