Chapter 1038: Extreme Speed Entei
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
After the rules were introduced, the Canine Competition began swiftly.
"Take this, Poochyena!!"
At Officer Jenny's signal, the first contestant immediately threw the frisbee in his hand with great force.
This was a specialized frisbee, capable of recording its own flight distance.
*Swoosh!!*
The frisbee shot out, and the Poochyena in front of him darted forward in an instant, like a cat that had smelled fish.
However, because the trainer's throw was too powerful, the frisbee flew past the plaza at Mt. Chimney's summit.
"Awoof!!"
But this Poochyena didn't seem too bright, as its whole body leaped out into the open air.
The next moment, under the pull of gravity, the Poochyena plummeted straight toward the mountainside.
Fortunately, there was a platform halfway down to catch it, so no accident occurred.
However, this first contestant scored 0 and was immediately eliminated.
"Oh, a little-known fact for our contestants: pay attention to the force of your throw, and whether your dog has enough speed to catch it," the commentator, Officer Jenny, quickly reminded everyone.
A Pokémon like Poochyena, which hadn't evolved yet, had limited running speed. If the frisbee flew too fast, it would be impossible to catch.
Following the poor example set by the first contestant, the rest of the contestants took the stage one by one.
Since it was only the first round, most contestants played it safe. They didn't throw the frisbee out too fast, relying purely on their dogs' speed to rack up points.
"I'm counting on you, Snubbull!!"
When it was Blue's turn, she was naturally incredibly confident in her Snubbull. She immediately used her full strength and threw the frisbee out fiercely.
"Woof, woof!!"
Snubbull started running on its little feet, its fangs bared and its face fierce, chasing while growling and barking.
However, Snubbull is one of the rare dog-like creatures that runs on two legs—and short ones at that. Its running speed was lamentable.
Blue's throw was not weak; the frisbee flew right off the plaza on Mt. Chimney.
But Snubbull wasn't as brainless as the first Poochyena. It stopped just in time at the edge of the platform.
"Ruff?"
It poked its head out to look down, seemingly hesitating about whether to jump or not.
In the end, Snubbull shook its head and returned to Blue's side, giving her a helpless look.
"Ahem... Contestant number 25 gets a score of zero."
Although Snubbull looked extremely cute, Officer Jenny still gave a score of zero.
Blue: "..."
She frowned deeply, her hand tightly clutching the star-shaped pendant on her collar.
Didn't Ash say this Shining Charm would bring good luck? Why wasn't it having any effect at all?!
"Hmph, where did this country girl come from? Watch and learn from my performance!"
At this moment, Dee from Team Aqua slowly walked up, looking arrogant.
Putting power into his palm, he threw the frisbee out with force, giving a command at the same time:
"Now, use Takedown!!"
"Grrraah!!"
The Mightyena beside him immediately shot forward, shrouded in a white light. Its momentum was intimidating, and its speed increased significantly.
Before the frisbee could completely fly past the plaza, it had already caught it firmly in its mouth, then landed with a stylish backflip.
*Thud! Swoosh!*
After landing, the Mightyena's body once again shot back like a sharp arrow, delivering the frisbee into Dee's hands.
The whole set of movements was as smooth as flowing water, earning praise from the crowd.
"There we have it, the current highest score!!"
Even Officer Jenny, who had no fondness for Team Aqua, had to give praise.
This Mightyena was as cool as it was last year, truly worthy of being last session's champion.
"Hmph, this is the strength of our Team Aqua!"
Dee just laughed with his hands on his hips.
Although this year's competition event was different from last year's—the first round last year was a contest of how well dogs could perform sit, stay, and roll over—even with the change to catching frisbees, it was still no challenge for his Mightyena.
"Is that all? Get a good look at my power!"
Soon, Huoyan of Team Magma also took the stage to perform. The Mightyena beside him, with its glossy fur, also dashed out, using the same familiar routine of using Takedown to boost its speed.
In the end, Huoyan's result was evenly matched with Dee's, both at the highest point.
The competition proceeded in full swing. The first round's frisbee-catching event was simple and direct, and it wasn't long before it reached the end.
Finally, a massive figure stepped onto the stage.
"Ooh, it's Trainer C and his Arcanine! Just a moment ago, he overpowered the legendary Entei!" one of the Officer Jennys couldn't help but announce in a loud voice.
Entei and Arcanine were the only two large dogs in this group.
In any case, for Officer Jenny, Growlithe and Arcanine were the one and only gods in their police dog world, so they still hoped this majestic Arcanine would win the championship.
"Hmph, Entei? He's nothing more than a lesser Arcanine," Trainer C said with a smug smile. He then put force into his arm and threw the frisbee with all his might. In just a few breaths, it was about to fly past the edge of the high platform.
"Roar!!"
The Arcanine let out a low roar, its front paws stomping fiercely on the ground, and it instantly vanished from its spot.
*Swoosh!*
In a flash, the Arcanine's figure had already caught up to the frisbee. Its body, glowing with a strange azure light, leaped high and firmly caught the frisbee in its mouth.
After adjusting its posture in mid-air, it landed, and the instant its paws touched the ground, it vanished again.
By the time everyone blinked again, the Arcanine had already returned the frisbee to Trainer C's hand.
"There it is, the current highest score, from the team of Trainer C and Arcanine!!" Officer Jenny quickly announced.
"Hmph!"
The Arcanine didn't forget to cast a taunting gaze in Entei's direction.
"Hmph, it's just a little bit faster, that's all."
"It's no big deal."
However, the sudden appearance of an amateur made the two from Team Aqua and Team Magma feel displeased.
But the results of the Canine Competition's first round had no bearing on the later rounds. It was purely an elimination-style tournament; all that mattered was advancing to the next round.
"Is that Extreme Speed? It's certainly fast," Ash couldn't help but remark.
But although it was Extreme Speed, this Arcanine's speed was only a tiny bit faster than his Pikachu's Quick Attack. It was the lowest quality of Extreme Speed.
And next, it was naturally Ash and Entei's turn to take the stage.
Gripping the frisbee tightly, Ash put force into his arm and immediately threw it with great power, just like pitching a baseball!
But at the very instant it left his hand, he intentionally dissipated eighty percent of the force.
*SWOOSH-BOOM!!*
Even so, the frisbee that shot out still turned into a blurry streak of lightning. As it sped through the mid-air, it even produced a series of air-ripping sounds, causing everyone's expressions to change in shock.
Wait a minute, is that a frisbee a human can throw?!
And at that speed, are you trying to get your dog to catch a frisbee, or are you trying to launch it into space?
However, Entei, standing beside Ash, showed no change in expression. Its front legs pushed forward, and in the next instant, it vanished from its spot.
"Ruff?!"
That forward-leaning motion made the Arcanine's eyes go wide. Why did that posture look so familiar?
And Entei, cloaked in a strange azure light, caught up to the frisbee's position in the next blink of an eye.
Fun fact: Entei, Raikou, and Suicune, the three legendary beasts, are actually all capable of mastering Extreme Speed.
