Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"Seal off its operational space!"

Although still in shock, Tyranitar instinctively reacted upon hearing his trainer's words, pressing his weight down with both feet.

Earthy yellow energy poured into the ground.

The ground began to tremble, and all the rubble in the area jumped up, as if being lifted up by an invisible hand.

The giant rocks on all sides were about to close in, blocking the fire-breathing dragon's range of movement.

Xiao Zhi's eyes sharpened.

"Hold it and fly! Then use Earth Throw!"

Charizard has been waiting for this very sentence!

Pull out the dragon claw.

Just before the rocks closed in, it pushed off the ground with its hind legs.

Its two front paws clamped tightly around Bangiras's waist and abdomen, and its wings flapped.

Before Bangalore could fully recover from the merciful stab he had just received, he was already being dragged off the ground by a force so ruthless and unreasonable!

"boom--!"

The boulder crashed shut beneath the dragon's feet, the fragments colliding with each other, but not even the tip of its tail was touched.

"Huh?!"

Tyranitar, with its legs off the ground, struggled, its claws instinctively reaching behind it.

But after all, it was his former underling, and Charizard knew exactly where Tyranitar's weaknesses were!

In just a few moments, Tyranitar could only wriggle in vain before Charizard carried it up into the clouds!

The wind whistled in their ears, and the audience on the ground quickly shrank to the size of a finger.

But Charizard, still holding Tyranitar, continued to climb, leaping upwards with each flap of its wings.

It even deliberately drew an S-shaped trajectory in the air, making Bangilas even more dizzy from the centrifugal force.

In the audience, everyone was looking up.

"Isn't the launch altitude of that Earth... a bit outrageous?"

"It's still flying upwards! How high is it going to fly?!"

"At this height... if someone falls from here, let alone Tyranitar, even someone with the Rockhead ability would get a concussion!"

Feeling that its stamina bar was almost depleted, Charizard didn't hesitate at all and immediately flipped over.

Draw a complete arc around the body.

Then, using the force of gravity and the acceleration of rotation, he rushed down the mountain with Bangalore in his arms!

It fell headfirst straight down to the ground!

The sound of the wind turned into screams.

As Bangalore watched the ground rapidly approaching, the patterns on the rubble becoming clearer and larger, it finally let out a terrified howl.

Boss, are you serious?!

Really?

Charizard grinned.

Of course!

Didn't I already say that Pokémon battles are just that brutal?

Just before it hit the ground, Charizard finally released its claws, letting its little brother free fall.

He flapped his wings, glided close to the ground, and after accidentally knocking down a few spectators who said they weren't Kanto Dragons, he soared back into the air.

"boom--!!"

A deep, muffled bang shook the entire training ground.

Bangilas crashed to the ground.

Smoke and dust exploded, and gravel and sand were pushed in all directions by the shock wave. Even people in the front row of the audience involuntarily raised their hands to shield their faces.

The ground was cracked with spiderweb-like patterns, and a deep pit had collapsed in the center, with bits of soil still falling from the edges of the pit.

The fire-breathing dragon flapped its wings to steady itself and looked down at the cloud of smoke.

The audience fell silent for a moment.

Then came a thunderous roar of cheers!

"So strong!?"

"Although it was a bit underhanded... the power of this attack on Earth was simply terrifying!"

"Even pseudo-legendary Pokémon can't withstand that kind of throw! Just how strong is that Charizard that can lift Tyranitar into the sky?"

"It's over! It's absolutely over! That kind of impact would have rendered my Eevee incapacitated on the spot!"

"Buyi?"

Hearing the crowd's praise, the fire-breathing dragon in mid-air did not fold its wings and land.

Its pupils remained fixed on the smoke-filled area, and the flames on its tail tip continued to flicker.

Even the expression on his face didn't relax in the slightest.

The audience may not know, but they certainly know the "no harm from smoke" principle!

It will not, and absolutely does not intend to, relax its vigilance even in the slightest, until it is certain that not a single toe on the other side can move!

With a flap of its wings, a gale surged forth from beneath them.

The smoke and dust in the center of the field were swept away by the gust of wind and dispersed in all directions.

The situation at the bottom of the pit gradually became apparent.

As expected, Tyranitar could still move!

It propped itself up on its forelimbs and wobbled as it climbed out of the pit.

Its dark green carapace was covered in dust, and although its pupils were somewhat unfocused, they were still clearly focused.

active!

In Charizard's understanding.

Being able to move is equivalent to having the ability to fight; having the ability to fight is equivalent to the opponent still holding a trump card; and the opponent still holding a trump card means that you must go all out!

Having figured out his thoughts, Charizard didn't hesitate at all.

With a flap of its wings, the figure vanished from mid-air.

The next instant, it appeared directly beside Tyranitar.

The bluish-white light on the dragon claw was condensed to its extreme, and with a sharp shriek that tore through the air, it swept horizontally!

"Bang--!"

Tyranitar was sent flying by the claw strike, rolling twice on the ground before finally managing to regain his balance.

Bangilas let out a low growl of grievance.

Boss, why?

Why is that?!

Charizard sighed as it looked at its pitiful expression and lowered its raised claws.

After all, he was the younger brother I raised myself.

It descended.

The dragon's claw struck Tyranitar's head once more.

I gently stroked it twice.

Just as Tyranitar thought its boss was going to say something to it, Charizard used a Charizard Takedown to knock it down again.

Bangilas' head hit the ground with a dull thud, and his eyes became even more dazed.

The fire-breathing dragon shook its head.

It retracted its paws, took a half step back, and looked down at Bangilas.

If he had harbored thoughts of revenge before, seeing his current dazed expression, those thoughts had completely vanished.

After all, it's best to calm down and think about it carefully.

With Bangilas's brains alone... it seems unlikely he would do something like willingly letting himself be stabbed.

"roar......."

Having figured everything out, he shook his head at the bewildered Tyranitar Charizard.

Education should be delivered aloud.

You little rascal, you've been following trainers for so long, have you gone stupid?

Pokémon battles?

Pokémon battles have never been about standing still and exchanging beams; they're no different from how they used to make a living in the mountains!

Hide, conceal, evade, and deceive!

Catch them off guard, hit and run, then come back to finish them off!

This is the true essence of battle!

Upon hearing Charizard's heartfelt words, Tyranitar sat on the ground, stunned for a full three seconds.

Then something lit up in those huge pupils.

It was a light that suddenly enlightened me.

Yes!

Why did it say that battling with its own trainer was so difficult?
