The Abandoned Monkey charged forward, unleashing a powerful punch that clashed with Hao Li's palm.
Bang!!! The fists and palms collided, and Machamp was sent flying. The difference in strength between the two was too great. Rejected Monkey chased after him, grabbed one of Machamp's legs, spun him around a few times, and then threw him directly into the rock that Machamp used for exercise. The impact cracked the rock, and Machamp lost consciousness.
"Not bad, you can hold your own and fight back. You haven't let anger cloud your judgment. Come in," Xiao Mao commented with satisfaction, taking out a Poké Ball and throwing it over.
boom!
The Poké Ball hit Machamp and captured it.
Shigeru also went over and picked up the Poké Ball to check the attributes of Machamp.

【Intimacy Level: 120 (Maximum 255)】
"So many skills awakened...!" Xiao Shi was quite surprised. Usually, a Pokémon at this level would be considered very good if it could awaken 10 skills, but this Machamp had awakened 15 skills, which was quite a lot.
Many of the skill items that Shigeru has can be used by Machoke, so there's no need to worry about increasing their affinity.
202: Evolution of Mighty Strength
"Machoke is done, now all that's left are Heracross and Gyarados." Gary put the Poké Ball back into his pocket.
Machamp can evolve into Strength simply by trading with it, and then Heracross is the only one left to be caught.
As for Gyarados, it hasn't been born yet. The Shiny Gyarados was originally an ordinary Magikarp, and it evolved into Shiny Gyarados because of Team Rocket's experiment.
However, for now, let Haoli first transform into Monster Strength.
Instead of returning to Pallet Town, Gary took a Dragonite directly to Indigo Plateau, where he handed Machamp over to Nurse Joy to heal it.
Xiao Mao found a quiet place and released Hao Li.
"Alright!" Machamp knew it had been captured when it saw itself emerge from the Poké Ball. It didn't complain, after all, it had agreed on the rules beforehand.
Gary's ability to defeat Machamp has earned Machamp's respect, and as long as Gary doesn't treat it too badly, Machamp will behave well.
"Machamp, I'm planning to let you evolve into Machamp tomorrow. Are you willing?" Gary asked.
"Alright." Mawile 28 nodded. It had wanted to evolve for a long time. It had been to human towns and seen Mawile on construction sites. It had always wanted to evolve, but no matter how much it trained, it remained in Mawile form and just wouldn't evolve.
"If you want to evolve into a monster of strength, you need to stimulate the cells in your body with the power of exchange. Otherwise, you won't be able to evolve if you just keep training to the point of exhaustion," Xiao Mao reminded him.
"Awesome." Haoli nodded, revealing an expression of understanding.
"Here, put this in your storage space. I'm going to teach you a few skills." Seeing that Machoke didn't reject evolution, Gary was relieved and took out the Soothing Bell.
"Awesome?"
Hao Li took the comfort bell handed to him by Xiao Mao, shook it, and it made a "ding-a-ling" sound, which was quite pleasant.
"Stop playing around, quickly put it in your storage space, I'm going to teach you skills," Xiao Mao said.
Hawley was puzzled. How could a small bell teach him skills? Despite his confusion, Hawley put the Soothing Bell into his storage space.
Gary then put his hand on Machamp's shoulder and taught him five skills: Mega Kick, Dig, Sleep, Hyper Beam, and Flamethrower.
Haoli: "Awesome!! (ΩДΩ)!!"
Haoli was completely stunned. This was the first time he had ever experienced such a way of learning skills; it was amazing.
"Calm down, I can teach you other skills later. As long as you listen to me, I will eventually make you surpass Shiba's strength." Shigeru said.
"Awesome." Haoli nodded. Although he didn't know who Shiba, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, was, he sounded like a very powerful person.
Next, Shigeru used 8 medium-level magic candies to raise Machamp's level to 50, which immediately stunned Machamp, whose strength suddenly increased like a rocket.
"Don't be surprised, come in. I'll let you evolve tomorrow." Gary recalled Machamp and then wandered around the city.
After spending the night in Indigo Plateau, Gary went to the Pokémon Center early the next morning, found a trainer at random, explained the situation, paid a certain fee, and the trainer agreed to trade Pokémon with Gary.
"Machinel, come out." After the exchange was complete, Gary released Machinel.
"Awesome!!"
As soon as Machamp emerged from the Poké Ball, the power of the exchange stimulated the cells in its body, causing them to react.
A burst of white light emanated from Mawley, and his body rapidly grew taller, becoming half a head taller than Gary. A pair of arms grew from his tiger-like back. When the light faded, Mawley, wearing champion shorts, took his place.
"Awesome!!" The monstrous strength looked at his new body and felt that his strength had become stronger. His newly grown arms were no different from before, and each arm was full of explosive power.
Guai Li felt that he could now easily lift two of the rocks he had used in training.
"You need to practice horse stance regularly from now on. Your lower body needs to be stable so your punches will be more powerful," Xiao Mao suggested.
"Awesome?"
Machamp looked puzzled, not knowing what squatting was. It used to be a wild Pokémon, and its training method was based on its own unorthodox methods. If it saw other wild Pokémon with good training methods, it would learn them.
"It's just a horse stance... Do it like this." Xiao Mao immediately assumed a horse stance. When he used to practice martial arts with A Si, this was a basic skill he had to practice every day.
Guai Li looked at Xiao Mao, who had just assumed a horse stance. It was just a simple movement; what training effect could it have? But he still squatted down in the same way as Xiao Mao.
"Let's see how long you can keep this up. If you can last more than 30 minutes, I'll buy you a forced exercise machine," Xiao Mao said.
"Awesome."
When Guaili heard that he was going to buy himself a forced exercise machine, he became even more energetic and maintained a standard horse stance. However, since Guaili had never done this kind of training before, after about 10 minutes, he felt his legs start to go numb. After 20 minutes, he could no longer hold on, but he still continued to persevere.
"Alright, 30 minutes are up," Xiao Mao said.
Bang! !
Hearing that the time was up, Guai Li plopped down on the ground. It was the first time it had felt so tired in such a short time. This horse stance training method was truly amazing.
"Don't be surprised. There are many ways to train. It's not that simple movements make training simple. There are many simple movements that, when combined, can be very difficult," Xiao Mao said.
"Awesome!" It was as if a new world had opened up for the monstrous strength. He used to train using unorthodox methods, but now he seemed to have found his direction.
"Come in, I'll take you to buy a forced training device." Shigeru took out a Poké Ball, recalled Machamp, and checked Machamp's current stats.

203: Team Rocket Attacks Oak's Laboratory
Machamp has evolved into Strength, and Gary is also planning to head to the Johto region to challenge the Silver Conference.
Although the timing might be a little earlier, collecting all the badges sooner will allow you to wait in Kaji Town.
One hour later...!
Moltres arrives in Pallet Town.
"That's... Team Rocket?"
From a distance, you could see that Oak's lab was covered by a beige leather cover, and above the cover was a Meow Meow-shaped hot air balloon. There was a hook on the cover that hung on the Meow Meow hot air balloon.
Is Ash back?
Gary thought of Ash; wherever Ash was, Team Rocket would surely be there too.
Even though Gary repeatedly put Team Rocket in jail, they always manage to escape by some strange twist of fate and return to Ash's side.
"Molotov, let's go over there," said Gary.
Moltres immediately flew towards Oak's lab.
Xiao Mao was puzzled. How could the Pokémon in the research institute not have noticed such a large leather cover?
Moltres quickly arrived at Professor Oak's lab, but there wasn't a single Pokémon on the surrounding grass. It seemed that Professor Oak had put all the Pokémon into Poké Balls, which allowed Team Rocket to succeed.
"Molotov, attack the shield with Air Slash," Gary commanded.
"Aww!!"
Moltres flapped its wings, unleashing countless wind blades. "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The wind blades easily tore open the leather shield, completely exposing Oak's research lab.
At the same time, they saw Ash and his friends confronting Team Rocket in front of Professor Oak's lab, along with Professor Oak. Ash and his friends were in a bad situation.
Muk is asleep, and Pikachu and Ash are all tied up with a rubber band, preventing Ash from releasing his other Pokémon.
However, as the outer cover fell off, Ash and Team Rocket were all startled.
"Molotov, breathe fire!" Gary commanded.
"Aww!!"
Moltres spewed flames at Team Rocket, the merciless flames instantly engulfing Lickitung and Victreebel, severely injuring the two Pokémon in a single blow.
【LV40 Victreebel/Gym】
【LV42 Big Tongue♂/Dojo】
Team Rocket's two Pokémon weren't very strong, only at the Gym level. The fact that they managed to defeat Ash shows how careless he was.
"Damn it, it's that little Shigeru again~."
