Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

endured.

After all, it is still no match for this electric mouse.

But don't get cocky!

Wait until it masters its divine skills!

It was determined to show this short, scrawny mouse who the real junior was!

.......

Across from him, Blaine's eyelids twitched suddenly.

The surging malice, the oppressive feeling, the aura—

If it weren't for the fact that he had spent most of his life running a Fire-type Gym and knew the temperaments of all kinds of Fire-type Pokémon inside and out, he wouldn't have been able to do so.

He almost didn't recognize this Pokémon!

"A hybrid Charizard?"

Chapman's voice was full of sorrow.

There is no other reason.

Look at yourself! Look at yourself!

Look what you've done to this perfectly good Fire-type Pokémon!

Evil type?

The attributes are completely unrelated, so you could at least try to make it a Flying type!

Isn't this a complete waste?

Wait a moment.

Only then did Bob realize something was wrong.

It seems like I'm using Growlithe to fight Charizard.

Even though Charizard's path is a bit off, it's still Charizard!

Alarm bells rang in Blaine's mind, but the battle had already begun.

Charizard withdrew its gaze from Pikachu, and then, as if drawn by a magnet, its eyes naturally locked onto the Growlithe opposite it.

The Growlithe had been growling menacingly.

But when Charizard stared at it, its mane bristled instantly, and the low growl in its throat turned into a soft whimper.

Before Chapel could give the order—

The unruly fire-breathing dragon opened its massive jaws.

A burst of flame roared out.

"Growlithe, use Flame Whirlpool to intercept!"

Chapel hastily gave the order.

Growlithe opened its mouth almost out of survival instinct, and spat out a golden-red flame.

The black flames spread out in a cone shape, directly enveloping the area where Growlithe was located.

But Growlithe has already used its own moves.

Instead of confronting the black flames head-on, its flames spun rapidly around itself, forming a spiral-shaped flame barrier.

The black flames collided with it, but were deflected by the vortex and slid along the sides of Growlithe's body, making it impossible for them to get close for the time being!

"Um?!"

Ash and Pikachu both opened their eyes wide.

Skills can be used in this way?

Great, you've exceeded the limit!

Growlithe's use of Flame Vortex was extremely skillful.

Knowing it was no match for the dragon, it didn't try to counter the dragon's firepower. Instead, it used the force of its rotation to deflect the flames, using minimal effort to overcome maximum force.

It's clear that the Pokémon under Blaine's command, a master of Fire-type Pokémon, are quite capable.

"Charizard!"

Xiao Zhi, who understood it at a glance, shouted.

"Roar!"

No further explanation needed.

The black flames on Charizard's tail suddenly shot up a large distance – Blaze ability activated!

The black flames spewing from its mouth instantly increased in power by several levels.

The flames, which had been spreading in a cone shape, suddenly contracted and condensed into a perfectly round, blazing pillar of fire, twice as thick as before.

Dark red veins could even be faintly seen through the black flames.

boom--

The moment the flame pillar collided with the vortex of flames, it was like a giant onyx snake charging into a Cloyster.

The vortex tried desperately to deflect the attack, but the Charizard's quantity was simply too enormous.

The kinetic energy of rotation simply doesn't have enough time to dissipate all the force.

The stalemate lasted less than half a second before the vortex of fire collapsed, and the black torrent engulfed Growlithe.

The brick flies with great force!

When the opposing team manipulates the game mechanics, you need to think carefully about your own stats!

Black flames enveloped him.

Once Charizard's attack subsided, Growlithe was lying on its back, eyes darting around, and black smoke still billowing from its mouth.

Its once beautiful orange-red mane was now charred and curled, its four legs twitched occasionally, and it let out a faint whimper.

one strike.

Just one strike.

The other side fell down.

The Charizard hovered in place, flapped its wings twice, and tilted its head.

Its expression was confused.

Ok?

Is this... not going to work?

Wasn't this supposed to be a gym battle? They were all prepared for a three-hundred-round battle, and this is what happened?

Charizard looked down at its fully charged claws, then at the Growlithe lying on its back on the ground, its brow furrowing deeper and deeper.

wrong.

It's a trap!

Given its history of being tricked by Gengar so many times, there's definitely something fishy going on!

This must be a case of feigning weakness to lull oneself into a false sense of security, and then launching a surprise attack when one is off guard!

Although there is no evidence.

But that's enough for it!

Just having doubts is enough!

A glint flashed in Charizard's eyes, and it took a deep breath, causing the flames on its tail to surge upwards once again.

Then, it exhaled a second burst of fire.

A burst of flames, thicker, fiercer, and hotter than before, erupted, completely engulfing the area where Growlithe was lying.

Flames crashed to the ground and scattered everywhere, turning the entire area into a crimson hell.

Xiaoxia: "???"

Xiao Gang: "???"

Blair was completely dumbfounded.

Its Growlithe has already rolled its eyes and lost its ability to fight, and your Charizard is still breathing?

And they sprayed even more intensely?

Are you fighting?!

This is clearly desecrating a corpse!

"Stop—!" Blair finally reacted, shouting hoarsely, "It's incapacitated! Ceasefire! Ceasefire!!"

Charizard then stopped and looked down at the Growlithe that had been roasted black on the ground.

Growlithe's four legs twitched, and it exhaled a smoke ring.

Charizard nodded in satisfaction.

Well, it seems like this is really not going to work.

It turned around and nodded at Ash.

Pikachu gives a thumbs up.

"Pickup!"

Well done, junior!

182. Master Long, attack its lower body!

Blaine: "..."
