Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"Duckbill Flame Beast, Flame Vortex!"

The Magma Beast suddenly raised its cannon, and the straight flames exploded, turning into a swirling whirlwind of fire that swept towards the Charizard from all directions.

The flames danced up and down, swirling left and right.

Charizard charged left and right, only to find itself trapped in a shrinking cage of flames.

No matter which direction you dodge, you'll be met with flames.

It's a change of tactics!

Xiao Zhi was startled.

Moreover, the changes in tactics are continuous!

Xia Bo's voice came from across the street, unhurried and calm.

"Flames don't just go straight in."

"It is a fluid, it is energy, it can be compressed, and it can also diffuse."

"The jet of flame is a point, and the flame vortex is a surface; the two can be seamlessly switched."

After all, fires can spread unpredictably.

So-called skills are nothing more than changes in form.

Xiao Zhi hasn't blinked since then.

I never expected there was such a way to play!

I never knew you could use fire like this!

It's not about piling up skills or crushing numerical values, but about understanding the nature of fire itself.

Form changes with will, and moves arise from the heart.

As the temperature of the flame vortex gradually increased, the Charizard's space to move around gradually shrank.

Seeing that the time was right, the Duckbill Flame Beast began to condense its deadly orange-red light on the heavy cannon on its other arm.

This time it's not a test.

It's ready to deliver the final blow to Charizard!

The light from the cannon muzzle changed from orange-red to bright white, and then to an almost transparent incandescent white.

That's a sign that the temperature is about to break through the critical point.

At the very moment the light shone.

Ash glanced at Charizard's loosely clenched claws.

That was a signal.

A tacit understanding that naturally developed between him and Charizard before the battle even began, without any prior rehearsal.

"Now! Charizard!"

"Use throwing—!"

what?

Xia Bo was taken aback.

Throw?

Charizard twisted its body suddenly in the vortex of flames, its tail sweeping horizontally.

But instead of sweeping it at the Magma, it swept it at the rubble and bricks that had fallen from the previous battle.

Dozens of pebbles were picked up by the tail and hurled at the duck-billed fire beast.

The duckbill fire beast instinctively tilted its head to avoid it.

But those pebbles were just an appetizer.

The real killer move was something Charizard threw out right afterward.

Several stones landed squarely on the cannon muzzle that the duckbill fire beast had just raised.

"Snapped!"

Not too big, not too small, neither too big nor too small.

It blocked the cannon muzzle perfectly.

The duckbill fire beast was startled and instinctively tried to shake off the rock.

But Charizard, like a black cannonball, took advantage of the gap to force its way through the vortex of fire and get right in front of Magmortar.

The dragon's claws were raised high, their cold light flashing.

Then it fell straight down!

Close combat achieved!

Tearing through the air, the dragon's claw, carrying all of Charizard's malice, slammed into the Magmortar's shoulder.

The duckbill fire beast grunted and staggered back two steps with its massive body.

It wanted to retaliate, but it was too late.

The fire-breathing dragon has entered its inner circle, and the advantage of its twin-arm cannons is completely ineffective at point-blank range.

Bob stood on the opposite side, motionless.

He watched as the Charizard tore at the Magmortar like a real wild beast.

The corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

First came a silent smile, then a low laugh, and finally—a loud laugh with head thrown back.

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Good good!"

"Good boy!"

"What a fine lad! It's been a long time since I've encountered a challenge like this!"

He ripped off the wig that was already askew on one side of his head, revealing his bald head.

The scalp beneath the wig shone under the light, and a few beads of sweat slid down his forehead, which he casually wiped away.

With the heat dissipation turned up to the maximum, he immediately revealed his strongest form.

Blaine stared at Ash.

If the previous attitude was one of seniors looking down on juniors, and the curator simply going through the motions of an assessment—

Now, there's something more in those eyes.

It's the hunter's excitement when he encounters his prey!

"I admit I underestimated you before!"

"Didn't you want to fight in my legendary arena?"

"it is good--"

I'll grant your wish!

He reached into his waistband and pulled out the tablet, pressing a button with his thumb.

"Om-"

The entire venue suddenly trembled.

It wasn't an illusion; it was a real vibration that came from the soles of my feet, through my calves, and up my spine.

The entire venue seemed to be rising rapidly.

Since the other party has already demonstrated his conviction.

As someone from Northeast China, how could I not respond?

Even if the other person really is an investigator... he'll accept it!

184. Hehe! It believed it!

As the key is activated.

The entire battleground resembled an elevator platform, lifting everyone up.

Due to the bumpy ride, Xiaogang and Xiaoxia began to sway from side to side.

"Waaaaahhhhhhh!"

"W-What's going on!?"

Xia, who was unsteady on her feet, was the first to fall, landing hard on her bottom.

On the opposite side of the field, however, Blair remained completely still.

The bald head reflected the ever-changing lights as it rose, while its feet seemed nailed to the ground.

The same goes for Ash.

Slightly lower your center of gravity and straighten your back.

His eyes never left the Magmortar that was locked in combat with Charizard.

As the terrain rose, the temperature also continued to rise.

In just a moment, a burning sensation hit me.

The platform shuddered slightly and then stopped rising.

Then the ceiling suddenly cracked.

Sunlight poured down.

A hot wind, carrying the smell of volcanic sulfur, immediately rushed in from outside.

Pikachu looked around and realized that they had actually reached the highest point of the volcano!
