Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

He suddenly thought of Leon, and felt that Ash's account of the past was really similar to Leon's...

Charizard was the first Pokémon I got, and we've been traveling together ever since, never missing a single important moment...

"But... my first partner was Pikachu!" Ash finally sent out his last Pokémon. "Pikachu, please... we've been adventuring together all this time, I hope you can defeat that Charizard!"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu responded firmly, determined to win no matter what!

"You seem very energetic! Let's take a rest then... Yu Xi." "Roar~"

Faced with a highly motivated opponent, Ash became lazy, while Charizard sat cross-legged and leisurely rubbed his eyes.

"Pikachu, use one hundred thousand volts!"

The explosive lightning precisely wrapped around Old Spear's entire body, but it neither dodged nor avoided it, nor even showed any sign of pain.

With Roost active and its Dragon-type resistance to Electric, Pikachu's attacks, even when not in its Explosive form, are practically ineffective against Charizard.

"Damn it... Is it not working...?" Pikachu released 200,000 volts of electricity in a row, and Charizard sat on Roost twice, but his stamina was actually more than before.

This is Ash's strategy: when dealing with Ash's Pikachu, it's best to stay still if possible.

Ash is good at launching quick attacks with passion, and Pikachu is the classic representative of Ash's quick attack style... The TV anime has proven countless times that going against Ash and Pikachu in a quick attack is incredibly frustrating.

Kukui, who partnered with the island god, and Leon, who brought Charizard, were both powerful and passionate individuals. However, no matter how passionate they were, they couldn't out-passionate Ash, and in the end, without exception, they all lost.

On the contrary, the skillful cabbage sister successfully took down Pikachu by using the slow-moving Florian Rock Pokémon with Destiny Bond.

The reason is quite simple: as the saying goes, "One should strike with full force at the first drumbeat, but the momentum will wane at the second and be exhausted at the third."

If you can't break through after a long siege, you'll inevitably reveal a weakness.

Just like now!

"Pikachu, use Iron Tail!" Seeing that Thunderbolt was not working, Ash finally commanded Pikachu to change its move. The latter accelerated and leaped up, jumping onto the top of Charizard's head and forcefully swiping down the white-glowing Iron Tail!

"Dragon Charge!!"

boom!

The roaring dragon soared into the sky, smashing through the iron tail with unstoppable force, and sending Pikachu flying even higher into the air!

"Chase after it and catch it!"

"Pikachu, use Quick Attack to escape!"

"Use Dragon Charge to change direction!"

call out!

The dragon and the rat chased each other in the air. Pikachu finally managed to escape by bursting downhill with the help of a flash of lightning, but Charizard caught up with it in a single circle and quickly reached out its dragon claw to trap Pikachu's body!

"Hold it tight with all your might... even if you have to bite it, don't let it escape! Then throw it with Earth!"

"Roar!!" Hearing Ash's command, Charizard ignored everything and gripped Pikachu's body tightly with its claws, refusing to loosen its grip even an inch no matter how much electricity the other released!

It spun rapidly, like a burning meteor, before crashing to the ground with Pikachu in tow!

Boom! !

The ground trembled violently, and countless cracks spread outwards, leaving the area in a state of utter chaos in an instant.

Maybe there really is potential...

Looking at the scene before him, Ash couldn't help but think that renaming Earth Throw as Earth Smash would be quite fitting.

"Pikachu... hurry up and figure out how to stand up!" As the commotion subsided, Ash accurately located a piece of Pikachu's tail among the wreckage... Pikachu was buried in the ground!

"Use Feather Perch! And don't just stand around, smash it against the ground!!"

boom!

Boom boom boom boom! !

Charizard was indeed responding, and it didn't use any Ground-type moves, but it was tall and heavy, much heavier than other Charizards of its kind.

The vibrations caused by its feet stepping on the ground were enough to make Pikachu, who was eating dirt, feel completely disoriented.

By the time it finally managed to emerge from the soil, it was already panting heavily.

Meanwhile, the old sprite opposite it... because it had been resting in the feathered hut to recover, its stamina was still relatively sufficient.

"Charizard, it's really powerful..." Ash steadied himself and looked down at the Ash-Pikachu Z on his wrist. "This is the only way to fight it!"

"Pikachu!" Ash tossed his hat, and Pikachu jumped up to put it on, and the two began preparing to activate their signature Z-Move.

(Hey Charizard, do you remember when we blocked Rayquaza together?) Ash suddenly asked in his mind.

(Hmm...) Of course, I won't forget that part. It carried everyone's hopes and finally stopped the raging Dragon Eyes Painting at the edge of the Phantom Dragon Altar!

(I need you to recreate that power; only then can you reliably withstand millions of volts!)

"Roar!!" Charizard suddenly let out a deafening roar, and Ash's Key Stone also burst forth with explosive light!

Since all they had to do was withstand this one blow, they decided to go all in!

Outside the pitch-black dragon, another layer of dragon-shaped phantom appeared. As the light from the keystone gradually poured in, that phantom became more and more solid!

boom!

Finally, the violent power exploded, and a majestic dragon, even larger than before, stood proudly in the arena!

It was still completely black and held demonic fire in its mouth, but it had three sharp dragon horns growing on its head, short wings growing on the outside of its arms to help with balance, and a row of sharp serrations on its tail!

This is a super evolution that takes the X form and adds the power of Y... It is the final form of Charizard, a fusion super evolution!

"Pikachu, let's go all out!" Ash had already bumped fists with Pikachu. "Mega Volt, which is even stronger than Thunderbolt... no, it's even stronger, even stronger, our Super Power!"

"Pikachu, 10 Million Volts!!!" "Pika... Pika Pika!!!"

"Charizard, unleash your full power... Dragon Might!!" "Roar!!"

The seven-colored, dazzling lightning and the terrifying dragon soaring into the sky—two colossal energies clashed violently in mid-air. The violent radiation even activated the barrier set up by the alpaca, and the entire time-stopped space almost collapsed!

Finally, the terrifying energy dissipated in the twisting and turning. The two clashing creatures were simultaneously hit by the aftershocks of the energy. Charizard staggered and returned to its original form, while Pikachu fell to the ground and Ash's hat was blown off by the gust of wind.

Both sides were severely injured... Charizard really pulled through!

"Great!" Xiao Zhi slapped his thigh in satisfaction.

This is exactly what he's been waiting for: to withstand the raging millions of volts head-on!

Anyone who has watched the anime knows that Chip's move is unstoppable. Whether it's Ultra Beasts, Island Guardians, or the Champion's main force, none of them can withstand this move!

Furthermore, Denji's tragic experience shows that the Electric Engine can be destroyed, so Electric Immunity is useless.

Daigo's experience also shows that you should never try to dodge this move, because not only can you not dodge it, but you will also be flipped over by the subsequent Iron Tail Car.

Throughout the entire TV anime, only Leon's Gigantamax Charizard managed to block this attack with its signature move!

This is Ash's confidence. He is confident that Charizard is no weaker than that Charizard, and the dragon power that Charizard unleashes after fusion and Mega Evolution is even stronger than Gigantamax Infernape!

At the same time, after this move ended, subsequent changes also followed.

Large red lights began to illuminate the field, and Ash's Max Band also shone brightly once again!

"This is... I understand! Pikachu, grow bigger, Gigantamax!!"

The fourth of the three systems, the second Gigantamax appearance!

"Charizard, you've worked hard, come back and rest." Ash finally replaced Charizard with a Pokémon that was already seriously injured...

"Lizard King, I'm begging you one more time!" "Chay!"

The Lizard King knelt on the ground, but his gaze remained resolute.

"Even so, we will attack with all our might! Pikachu, Gigantamax Thunderbolt!!"

"I know... so we need to super evolve!!" "Chay!!"

By the way, tens of millions of volts can break through electrical immunity...

But the Super Giant Thunderstorm might not be the case!

Chapter 1016 The Decisive Battle VI: Companions…

A violent bolt of lightning crashed down, but the Lizard King remained kneeling on one knee, nonchalantly bathing in the thunder.

This scene inevitably triggered a wave of memories for Ash.

Yes, he saw this in one of the matches at the Carlos Tournament.

Sceptile has undergone Mega Evolution, and its leaves and tail have become even sharper... Most importantly, its ability has changed to Lightning Rod!

"Cha...ee~" The Lizard King was slightly out of breath after surviving the first attack.

It immediately started photosynthesis and simultaneously planted its remaining intact arm into the soil.

It was not completely immune after all; the massive electric current was burning its body, and it had to be channeled underground as soon as possible.

However, it should be able to hold out one more time... even if the opponent doesn't use an electric-type move anymore!

"Then good luck, I believe in you!" Ash gave absolute affirmation to Sceptile's determination.

Unlike in the anime, Gigantamax Pikachu doesn't return to normal after one move, so this tug-of-war will continue!

But the result is no longer important.
