Chapter 356: Professor Rowan: Julian’s Golden Touch Is Becoming Stronger!

Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Professor Rowan: Julian’s Golden Touch Is Becoming Stronger!

Julian’s expression immediately changed.

He had not expected Darius to have mastered Veilstone Gym’s secret technique too.

According to the information Julian had, Primeape could not use Aerial Ace.

Changing moves now was already too late.

Primeape leapt, spun nimbly in mid-air, appeared before Annihilape, and swung his arm to knock Annihilape flying.

Annihilape landed in a sorry state. Clearly, that move had taken away quite a lot of his stamina.

Darius smiled proudly.

"Julian, you do indeed know my Primeape inside and out, but you don’t know what Primeape and I have learned during this period outside."

"We learned plenty of new things from these guys Professor Rowan gathered. You young people really do have useful brains."

"This Aerial Ace is a new move Primeape learned at the Rowan Laboratory. What do you think? Useful, isn’t it?"

Being set up by his father, Julian realised that things had been going too smoothly lately, making him become slightly carried away.

"Annihilape, let Dad and Primeape see the power of our burning youth!"

Annihilape roared.

"Annihilape!"

The flames of anger danced, but they gave off a bone-chilling cold.

Under the pressure brought by Primeape, Annihilape’s flames of anger rose for the first time from the level of Primeape to the level of Annihilape.

They became stained with the qualities of the Ghost type, carrying a feeling that transcended the physical body and controlled the soul.

The surrounding Trainers did not even have time to be shocked by Annihilape’s change.

Their jaws had all dropped.

This newly arrived handsome guy called Darius... Dad!?

Everyone carefully looked over Darius’s rough features.

Then they carefully looked over Julian’s outstanding face.

These two could be father and son?

Damn it.

Just how beautiful was his wife?

Darius was forty, and martial artists naturally tended to look a little younger.

Under Julian’s supervision, Darius had never completely abandoned his fundamentals over the years.

Now that his fighting spirit had reignited and he was training at full power, Darius looked as if he were only in his early thirties.

Of course, before meeting Helena again, he had often asked Julian to use Aura to make his skin look younger so that he could appear a little more youthful in front of the woman he loved.

Darius had no time to explain.

Annihilape’s change made him feel powerful pressure.

But he was not the type to admit defeat.

"Primeape, Thunder Punch, Ice Punch!"

Although Primeape only had two hands, the impatient Primeape had also been trained by Darius to use different moves with each hand at the same time.

Now that it burst out, it was actually able to oppose Annihilape’s Rage Fist, which had been pushed to the limit by his flames of anger.

With one punch, Annihilape was sent flying ten metres.

Primeape was sent flying fifteen metres.

Darius clenched his fist.

"Primeape, I believe in you! Stand up!"

Julian also shouted, "Annihilape, show our spirit!"

Primeape swayed, displaying the willpower of a seasoned fighter forged through years of battle.

He was the first to support himself and stand.

Primeape raised his fist, and with a loud cry, his fist lit up with black light.

Everyone’s eyes widened, and Professor Rowan immediately had Yuzo test it with the machine.

"This is... Rage Fist!"

Looking at the machine’s display, the Ghost-type energy inside Primeape had increased tenfold, and he had smoothly mastered Rage Fist.

Professor Rowan could not help sighing with emotion.

"Julian’s golden touch is becoming stronger and stronger."

Annihilape followed shortly after, swaying as he stood.

Both sides only had enough stamina left for one final move.

Darius attacked decisively.

"Aerial Ace!"

Julian smiled and brought out Annihilape’s hidden trump card.

"Acrobatics!"

Darius’s expression immediately changed.

After Primeape spun and appeared in front of Annihilape, he swung his arm to attack.

But Annihilape twisted his body like a ghost, avoiding Aerial Ace, then punched Primeape flying.

Darius recalled Primeape.

"I didn’t expect you to be hiding that move too."

Julian smiled and said, "Although Acrobatics doesn’t have the sudden turning attack of Aerial Ace, it gives Annihilape greater flexibility."

"Combined with Annihilape’s Ghost typing, he can attack from even more unexpected angles." 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

Darius nodded in agreement.

Primeape could not possibly move his body in such a strange way like Annihilape had just done.

Although he had won the battle, Annihilape was full of envy towards Primeape.

Primeape knew Aerial Ace!

Annihilape knew Acrobatics, and he had been hit by Aerial Ace countless times.

Could Annihilape not know which of those two moves was more useful?

Annihilape immediately rushed to Julian and shouted excitedly.

"Annihilape!"

Julian hurriedly calmed him down.

"I’ll help you look into it. Don’t rush!"

There was no helping it.

He wanted to improve too much!

He first had Annihilape drink the newest version of the nutritional supplement, then sprayed medicine on him.

He even casually tidied Annihilape’s fur, which had become messy from the battle, until it was neat again.

That professional technique made everyone instinctively look towards Darius.

After spending these days together, they knew better than anyone just how rough Darius’s lifestyle was.

Yet Julian had such superb Breeder skills.

These father and son really did not look like father and son in every possible way.

Julian then treated Primeape.

After Primeape woke up, he felt more comfortable than ever before.

Seeing that Julian was the one treating him, Primeape immediately became teary-eyed.

Ever since leaving Veilstone Gym to train outside, although it had not quite been a matter of going hungry one meal and full the next, he had always felt that something was missing.

Before, he had thought that a bit of hardship during outside training was normal.

Now he discovered that the problem was simply Darius’s poor standards.

Why was Julian always so fully prepared when he went out?

Primeape drank another bottle of nutritional supplement, immediately recovering a little more energy.

Julian said, "You’ve only just learned Rage Fist, so familiarise yourself with the move first. Don’t rush to use Rage Fist to pursue evolution."

Primeape nodded.

Darius awkwardly scratched his hair beside him.

Julian added, "I brought some nutritional products for you and your Pokémon. Remember to give them to them on time. Although they won’t make a huge difference to their strength..."

"They’ll help Pokémon recover faster after training. Their minds and bodies will feel more comfortable, and it can preserve their training enthusiasm as much as possible."

"I told you to massage them at least once a week. You haven’t forgotten, have you?"

Darius immediately said, "Of course not. I’ve been strictly following the methods you gave me to care for them!"

The surrounding Primeape Trainers, who had admired Darius, felt their idol collapse.

Why did this father and son seem like their roles had been swapped?

Annihilape still needed some time to recover, so Julian walked to Professor Rowan’s side, while Darius was pulled away by the Primeape Trainers for questioning.

Julian asked, "Professor, after Annihilape has evolved, is there still any chance for him to learn Aerial Ace?"

Professor Rowan frowned.

"Potential that wasn’t developed before evolution becomes extremely difficult to develop afterwards."

"For research in this area, you may need to consult Professor Elm."
