Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"And that zero-frame start Flamethrower... Charizard! You really do have talent!"

As he spoke, Ash raised his hand and slapped Charizard on the body with a loud thud.

A surprise high-five.

Charizard froze.

The violent force that had been rampaging through his body seemed to have its vital point suppressed by something, instantly subsiding by more than half.

The black flames on its tail also dimmed unconsciously, transforming from a battle flag into a quiet nightlight.

"Pikachu! Pikachu!"

Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulder, ran to Charizard's feet, and looked up at it.

His round eyes were full of curiosity.

It stretched out its little paw and poked the scales on the Charizard's body.

"Pikachu?"

Does this mean the experience has become permanent?

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Ash came over and started touching Charizard's body with both hands.

I touched from the thigh to the tail, from the base of the tail to the back, and from the back to the base of the wings.

"This texture..."

He rubbed one of the scales hard, and when he found that he couldn't remove it, his eyes widened even more.

"Wow! It really does look permanent! Look at the color, it's black inside and out, even under the scales—Pikachu, come take a look."

"Pickup!"

Pikachu stretched out its paw, peeled back a scale to peek inside, then turned and nodded at Ash.

His expression was so serious, as if he were conducting an academic evaluation.

The Charizard felt uncomfortable being touched, and its tail twitched involuntarily.

To be honest, its irritability hadn't completely subsided.

The shock of evolution is like a hangover headache, surging up in waves.

Those black flames, the violent power, the urge to destroy everything, still lingered in his veins.

But after being ambushed with a high-five, its intelligence regained its footing, and it managed to suppress the malice that was overflowing in its heart.

As for why you asked why it should be suppressed?

Just kidding, Ash's punches are faster than three steps!

Ash's Poké Balls are fast and accurate from three steps away!

“However,” Ash suddenly stopped, his smile fading and replaced with a serious expression, “Charizard, we still need to go see Nurse Joy later.”

"Although the dye was all-natural and the instructions said it was harmless, your body has changed inside and out, even the color of the flames has changed."

"This is not as simple as just changing the skin."

"We still need to confirm whether this has any impact on your body. We need to check your internal organs, bones, and energy circulation."

As Xiao Zhi spoke, he stretched out a finger and tapped his temple.

"Didn't the doctor say that before?"

"Sometimes changes in a Pokémon's color are accompanied by changes in its physical constitution."

"If your blackness is due to excess energy, it could cause problems in the long run. So we need to be on the safe side and get it checked out first. If everything's fine, great; if there is, we can deal with it as soon as possible..."

Charizard paused, looking at Ash's incessant chatter.

It thought that Ash would be like everyone else, only seeing its power, might, and arrogance after its evolution.

But it didn't expect that Xiao Zhi's first compliment would be followed by, "Don't let it have any effect on your body."

It lowered its head and looked at Ash's eyes, which were full of envy for its black and gold skin.

The black flames on its tail completely subsided.

It silently folded its wings, lowered its tail, and stood obediently beside Ash.

Ok.

Although the power within my body is extremely strong, it seems necessary to control it.

.......

"Ash! Ash!"

Xiaoxia's voice came from the crowd.

Xiao Zhi turned his head to look.

Xiaoxia was waving at him vigorously, with her other hand on her hip, shouting loudly at the staff member blocking her way.

"See that? We really do know each other!"

The staff wanted to stop him, but then they saw a figure behind him that looked exactly like Ash.

After thinking about it, I decided to let them go.

After all, the fossil pterosaur has fallen, so there's probably no danger left.

With permission, Xiaoxia, along with Xiaogang, Xiaomao, and the Metamorphosis, squeezed out from the crowd of tourists.

"Congratulations, Ash! Charmeleon has evolved into Charizard."

Xiao Gang was the first to walk over, looking the Charizard up and down with the focused gaze typical of a breeder.

He circled the fire-breathing dragon once, then stroked his chin and nodded.

"Perfect figure, looks great, and this color...it's really eye-catching!"

The fire-breathing dragon slightly raised its chin.

It truly lives up to its reputation for a deep, rich shade. Although your skin isn't as radiant as mine, but—

You do have a good eye!

Xiaoxia added another sentence.

"Besides, black is slimming. If I didn't use black to tone down my figure, I'd probably look even bigger."

Charizard froze for a moment, and the smile on its lips disappeared.

"...?"

It looked down at its muscular chest and thick arms.

Makes you look slimmer?

Does it need to look slim?

It's clearly meant to look strong, okay?

"Small......"

Imetti was about to speak.

Suddenly, a figure bumped into them from behind.

The Ditto that had transformed into Ash immediately rushed over and stood alongside the original Ash on either side of Charizard.

Charizard glanced at it, then moved away from Ash with a look of disgust.

The Ditto that had transformed into Ash was relentless, taking a step closer and sticking right up to Ash, determined to maintain the same distance between Ash and Charizard.

Charizard moved another step to the left.

Ditto also moved a step to the left.

The fire-breathing dragon moves to the right.

Ditto goes to the right.

Charizard: "......."

"Pikachu".

Pikachu perched on Ash's shoulder, pursed its lips, crossed its two little paws in front of its chest, and looked disdainful.

He's just a defeated opponent!

"Pikachu".

A voice also came from the other Ash's shoulder at the same time.

Pikachu suddenly turned its head—

On Ash's shoulder, which Ditto had transformed into, a Pikachu was perched!
