Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

broken!

There's been an accident!

Xiao Mao felt a pang of anxiety, but still managed to give effective instructions.

"Umbreon, Roar!"

"Shout!"

As long as the roar hits, no matter how strong the opponent is, they will be forcibly sent back, replaced with a Poké Ball, and everything will start over!

Umbreon opened its mouth, attempting to force its opponent back with a roaring shockwave.

But how could Charizard possibly want to go back like that?

With a swift movement of its front paw, it pulled out the prepared Mud from its side, and with a flick of its wrist, accurately sealed Umbreon's open mouth!

The mud smeared into his mouth, and the roar was abruptly blocked in his throat, turning into a muffled whimper.

Taking advantage of this opening, Charizard unleashed its full power!

Under a clear sky, the massive burst of flames was already a devastating attack.

Furthermore, Charizard's stamina had already been eroded by more than half due to the poison, so when it looked at Umbreon, especially Charizard's Blaze attack which it didn't like, it was boosted to a very high level!

Enveloped in flames, the fire-breathing dragon in the arena even lost its shape in the eyes of the crowd!

Only a black sun was burning fiercely in the field!

The flames surged forward, crashing into the wall of light first!

That barrier held up for only a moment before being crushed into countless points of light!

The black flames continued their advance without hindrance, and right before everyone's eyes, they directly engulfed Umbreon's figure!

"cloth--!!"

A short cry of pain was drowned out by the roar of the flames.

After a long while, the flames finally subsided.

The scorching heat had not yet subsided, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt earth and scorched fur.

A cracked, scorched crater remained in the center of the site, with dark red embers still visible at the bottom.

Umbreon lay on the edge of the crater, its body emitting wisps of white smoke.

Its golden rings were dull and lifeless, its fur was scorched and curled, and it was steaming with heat. Its limbs twitched slightly before it became completely still.

It's not to say that they've completely lost their ability to fight.

Judging by its appearance, it's probably about 70% cooked!

Even though he had crouched down very quickly, the referee, whose hair had still been completely swept away, strode forward and checked him over.

The verdict was then delivered.

"Umbreon is unable to battle! Therefore, Charizard is the winner!"

Dead silence.

Then came the deafening roar of the mountains and the tsunami of the sea.

"One shot and he's dead?! Or did he get one shot through the light wall?!"

"When did Charizard become so terrifying?!"

"After all, it's a combination of Sunny Day, Blazing Fire, its own element, and a massive burst of flames..."

"Huh? It's a type Pokémon? Come to think of it, isn't this Charizard a Dark/Flying type?"

Charizard: "?!"

In the arena, Xiao Mao remained silent for two seconds, staring at the large crater emitting wisps of smoke, his heart churning with complex and indescribable emotions.

He calculated almost all the variables.

Double walls, rainy weather, highly toxic, long battery life.

This is a game of chess so precise that every move has been planned out.

But he overlooked one thing: Ash's Charizard's Mega Evolution form and ability didn't match up!

hateful!

But it doesn't matter! His plans always leave room for maneuver!

While Umbreon's defeat is certainly a loss, the poison has already been planted, and Charizard's stamina is visibly dropping!

"Come back, Umbreon."

The Poké Ball emitted a red beam, retrieving the nearly dead Umbreon.

Gary took a deep breath and threw the Poké Ball again.

"Go, Blastoise!"

A burst of red light erupted, and Shigeru's ace Pokémon, Blastoise, crashed to the ground.

Without the slightest hesitation, his right hand rose simultaneously, and the Key Stone and Evolution Stone resonated.

He suddenly activated Mega Evolution!

To be honest, starting with Mega is the correct way to use Mega!

A qualified trainer should have the decisiveness to suppress the opponent with the highest combat power from the start, giving the opponent no room to test or adapt!

Ash's approach of Mega Evolving only halfway through a battle, when he's forced into a corner... reflects the mindset of a low-level trainer!

"Crack!!"

Blastoise roared to the sky, and its entire body began to emit a dazzling light!

Within the light, its body began to change.

The small turtle shell and water cannon quickly grew on its arm, and the overall turtle shell became larger and more angular.

At the same time, the two water cannons that were originally on the back began to merge into one, becoming bigger, longer, thicker, and stronger!

The light dissipated.

The invincible Super Blastoise has arrived!

The audience erupted in uproar.

"It's Mega Blastoise versus Mega Charizard?!"

"Is this really still our Kanto region?!"

"To see such powerful opponents clash is truly worth the ticket price!"

"Blastoise...!"

Upon hearing Gary speak first, Ash and Charizard both became alert.

"...Activate defense mode!"

Blastoise responded to the call and moved.

The cannon barrel retracts, and the limbs and head simultaneously shrink into the armor.

It stands firmly in the center of the field, like an insurmountable fortress!

Ash: "...???"

Charizard: "???"

Audience: "...Huh?"

"this......"

Seeing this, Kojiro, who was providing the commentary, was somewhat bewildered.

"...Xiao Mao's command is really, really unexpected!"

But the audience wasn't as tactful as he was.

"What did they do?"

"You just cower there after Mega Evolution?"

"I paid for a ticket to see turtles squatting in a latrine? Are you kidding me!?"

Despite the audience's comments, Xiao Mao remained unmoved.

Escaping is shameful, but effective!

Let's not even talk about the fact that the opponent's Mega Evolution might only take three minutes.

Besides, the deadly poison continues to erode the body!

Even if Charizard's output is terrifying at this moment, its stamina will be drained by the toxins every second.

Three minutes later, forget about Mega Evolution, I'd be surprised if it could even stand still!

The flames blasted onto Blastoise's body, shattering it into countless sparks, but Blastoise, with its water shield up, remained completely still!

Even a powerful Charizard is at a loss when faced with Blastoise in its absolute defensive stance!

Seeing this, Xiao Mao smiled.

"Ash! Your Charizard is really good at finding a way to break through!"

"But! My Blastoise... is also very defensive!"

Blastoise emitted a deep, proud click from inside its shell.

After all, it's Gary's Pokémon, so dealing with sneak attacks and stuns is just routine for it!

Just like Charizard, its unique experiences shaped it.

In other words, its ability to counter sneak attacks makes it the natural enemy of this Charizard!

The Charizard took a step back, panting.

The toxins caused his knees to begin to weaken.

Its gaze began to waver slightly, and the Super Blastoise in front of it split into two, then overlapped back into one.
