Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

No?

What did the Rock type do to you?!

Unable to reconcile, the ferocity of an ancient predator within the fossil pterosaur's blood was fully unleashed.

come!

Who's afraid of who!

It stopped dodging and defending, and charged straight at the Charizard's attack.

The two Pokémon clashed again, this time even more fiercely than before.

But the fossil pterosaur gradually discovered a chilling fact—

The Charmander on the other side is getting stronger and stronger as the battle goes on.

Every second is stronger than the last, every strike is heavier than the last.

The Charizard's wounds were bleeding, but its eyes were glowing.

Its physical strength is declining, but its momentum is soaring.

It's like a piece of iron thrown into a furnace—the hotter it gets, the harder it becomes.

The pterosaur began to panic.

It's the type that...the stronger the opponent, the weaker you become.

It's not because of a lack of ability, but because of mindset.

When its opponent is weaker, it can display its strength with ease.

But when the opponent is stronger, crazier, and more reckless—

It will be afraid.

As for why he was afraid?

Even if you were in their shoes, you'd be scared if you took a champion's Comet Punch!

But once you get scared, you'll make mistakes.

A mistake.

The fossil pterosaur's wings were flapped too far forward, revealing a momentary opening.

Charmeleon didn't let this opportunity pass.

Its right claw clenched into a fist, and it slammed it into the fossil pterosaur's jaw.

The fossil pterosaur's head snapped back, and its entire body fell backward.

But it did not fall.

Because Charmeleon's left claw had grabbed its neck, pinning it to the spot.

Then came a zero-frame-long flame jet that was forced from Charizard's mouth into the slightly open mouth of the Aerodactyl!

"Roar--!!!"

The fossil pterosaur let out a scream that was now distorted and miserable.

The flames weren't burning from the outside—they were burning from the inside.

It burns all the way down from the throat to the esophagus to the stomach.

What's the use of a hard exterior after all!

Even the hardest shelled clam has a soft interior!

If you give it a good beating, it won't be able to take it!

The flames continued to spray for a full five seconds.

Charmeleon didn't stop.

Five seconds later, it released its paw.

The fossil pterosaur collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, black smoke billowing from its mouth, its eyes rolled back, and it had completely lost consciousness.

Silence.

The entire room fell silent.

Then--

"Aa ...

The Charmander roared to the sky, and flames shot up from its tail.

That roar was unlike any of the previous ones.

It was not anger, not provocation, not a declaration.

Rather, it is a transformation.

White light.

A blinding white light surged from the Charizard's body, instantly enveloping its entire form.

The light was so intense that everyone instinctively closed their eyes.

Although they couldn't see anything, they could sense that something had changed.

The malice in the air was several levels stronger than before!

A few seconds later, the light gradually faded.

Standing before everyone was a Pokémon.

A Pokémon that is entirely black.

It was a size larger than a regular Charizard, and its scales resembled obsidian soaked in ink, faintly reflecting a reddish luster in the sunlight.

The blood mixed with waterproof and colorfast paint had become one with it during the fight.

The wing membrane was not the usual blue, but a dark red, like congealed blood.

The most shocking thing was its tail—

The flame at the tip of its tail was not orange or red, but pure black.

Black flames.

It burns silently in the air, without escaping a single drop of heat.

The silence lasted for about three seconds.

Then, it completely exploded.

"It's evolved!!!"

"It actually evolved!"

"Wait a minute," someone suddenly remembered something and muttered in confusion. "That's not right... I remember that when Deino evolves, it grows a head, right?"

"Why is it still just a head? And the wings are wrong too..."

169. I have everything I need now!

The tourists were making a ruckus, arguing heatedly.

They went from "Is it a genetic mutation?" to "Could it be a disabled dragon?" They were talking so much that they practically drowned out the air, and it looked like they were about to use their fists to convince the other side.

But the person in question didn't hear a single word.

Charmeleon... no, it's a fire-breathing dragon now. It slowly lowered its head, its gaze sweeping over its entire body.

Jet-black scales.

Dark red wing membranes, and a silent black flame burning on its tail.

It tried to clench its fist, and its knuckles made a cracking sound.

A power I had never experienced before surged through my body, like a dragon that had been imprisoned for too long finally breaking free of its chains, rampaging through every muscle and bone.

It had never felt so exhilarated!

powerful!

That's incredibly powerful!

In the past, when it launched a sneak attack, it always felt like something was missing, something was lacking here or there, and it was never quite satisfying.

But it is now, at this very moment.

We have everything we need!

Strength, speed, resilience, and explosiveness—all at their maximum!

Invincible, resilient, and the strongest, it is already a perfect being! It is already the ultimate life form!

The Charizard slowly parted its lips, revealing a row of gleaming white teeth.

It turned its head, its gaze sweeping over the group of tourists who were making such a racket that their brains were practically popping out of their heads, and the black flames on its tail suddenly shot up a little higher.

It took a deep breath, just about to open its mouth—

"Ho—!"

"Well done, Charizard! You did a great job!"

Xiao Zhi's voice exploded from behind, like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head.

“oWu——?”

The fire-breathing dragon froze.

His mouth was still open, the flame swirling in his throat before he forced it back down.

"I knew you could do it!"

Ash rushed over in three quick steps and arrived next to Charizard.

"The final, frenzied swings were simply a perfect execution!"
