World Tree Host's Wandering Digital Project

"One hundred thousand volts!"

In mid-air, Ryan's cheeks flashed with lightning, and a fierce electric current hit Sagittariusmon.

"One hundred thousand horsepower"

Sagittarius could feel that his energy was running out, and he had to get rid of this Pikachu as soon as possible.

Ignoring the paralyzed muscles, he gathered ground energy all over his body, kicked the ground with his four claws, and charged forward like a warhorse.

"Ryan!"

The difference in tonnage was too big. Ryan was not even as tall as Sagittariusmon's knees, and was hit hard.

It’s not over yet. The remaining ground energy condenses on both sides of the bow and wraps around the stone stick.

"Bone Stick

He bent down and hit Ryan like he was hitting a baseball.

Chapter 185 185. The Inner Team

"boom!"

Ryan's back began to crack as he hit the wall, and he slowly slid down without moving.

The referee confirmed that Rennes lost his ability to fight.

"The winner of this competition is contestant Xiaozhi from Pallet Town."

Hearing this, Sagittariusmon slowly lay on the ground, degenerated into V-mon, and fainted. The battle was not tiring, but two consecutive armored evolutions in a short period of time were too tiring.

Thanks to Veemon's activeness, Ash successfully changed his fate of being eliminated in the top eight of the Quartz Conference.

The game is over, and the next game will be in a few days.

After Ash's Pokémon recovered, he led his friends to an empty training ground.

"Charizard, come out."

The Charizard that came out was still lying there dozing off, refusing to listen to anything Ash said, and even sprayed flames to tease Ash.

Now the good-tempered Pikachu and V-mon are also angry

V-mon stood in front of Charizard.

"(Why didn't you listen to Xiaozhi's command? He almost lost.)"

"(The opponent is too weak, I can't muster any energy at all)"

Seeing that Charizard almost ruined Ash's dream and he still looked nonchalant, Veemon's rage was about to burst out of his eyes, and Pikachu also burst into electricity.

Seeing that some of his friends seemed to be making a scene, Xiaozhi quickly tried to dissuade them.

"(Then how about you look at me...)"

No matter how good-tempered V-mon is, its foundation is still a dragon-type Digimon. Its fellow dragon-type Digimon all have potential far exceeding that of ordinary Digimon.

Charizard looked Veemon straight in the eyes.

"(He is just a guy who became stronger with the help of his trainer.)"

Charizard knows that V-mon's strength can only be brought into play when he is with Satoshi

Pikachu tugged at Xiaozhi, who lowered the brim of his hat as he watched the two dragons confront each other.

The dying Charmander in the rain and the crouching Charizard overlapped in their eyes.

"I understand, Charizard, I want to conquer you again!"

Looking at Xiaozhi's determined eyes, Charizard also remembered the rainy night when he was weak. He cheered up, raised his head and spewed flames, flying to the other side of the venue.

Pikachu was about to stand in front of Charizard when he was pushed away by Veemon.

Even behind Veemon, Pikachu could feel Veemon's amazing aura.

"Pika (Please.)"

He jumped to Xiaozhi's side and watched the battle.

V-mon evolved into Setmon in a burst of white light. Its dark red body was covered with dim yellow stripes, and the sharp horns on the front and the helmet covering its head added a bit of murderous aura.

Setmon is different from other armored bodies that evolved from the "Love Armor". It does not represent "love" but "hate".

Without Xiaozhi's order, Setmon took the initiative to attack.

Heat Storm

Just like a strong wind under the scorching sun in the desert, Charizard can still endure the high temperature, but the main force of the storm blew Charizard all over the place, forcing it to land first.

As soon as it landed, the two light blue fangs in front of the fire-breathing dragon attacked its slightly enlarged belly.

"Tusk Driver"

After all, Charizard is still too weak, and Setmon is only at the upper level even in armored form.

If it was a normally evolved Charizard, it could still fight with Setmon, but Ash's Charizard evolved prematurely at a critical moment and had congenital deficiencies.

Charizard's flames had no effect on Setmon. Facing the flames, Setmon stabbed its two long fangs into Charizard's body.

With anger, Setmon pushed forward little by little until its fangs pierced through its body, revealing the bloody tip. Charizard let out a painful wail.

Xiaozhi's vision was still obscured by the storm, and he couldn't see the situation on the field clearly.

Hearing Charizard's howl, Xiaozhi instinctively felt that something was wrong and tried hard to rush into the storm. However, human power was no match for the hot wind in the desert, and he was blown back to where he was.

Not only did Setmon not stop, he also mobilized the energy in his body and used two of his fangs to pierce Charizard's body and lift up Charizard.

"Double-edged hammer

After evolving into Setmon, V-mon's dragon-like brutality hidden under its optimistic personality is fully aroused.

The rock-type ultimate move at negative distance left Charizard on the verge of death. The rock-type energy, which was originally able to restrain the fire-type, was destroying Charizard's body crazily.

It hit hard, and the scream of pain from Charizard became weak.

After being pierced by the fangs, Charizard actually lost its ability to fight, but Setmon didn't care at all. The fangs kept holding Charizard and preventing it from falling, and launched fierce attacks one after another.

"Pikapi (Stop, Charizard is dying!)"

Pikachu's anxious cry woke up Setmon, who was blinded by anger.

Pikachu sensed something was wrong when he heard Charizard's voice getting weaker, and immediately left Ash behind and rushed into the storm in the venue.

Pikachu was stunned by the scene in front of him. Setomon's two long fangs pierced Charizard's abdomen, and the yellow skin on its belly turned purple and red and became ulcerated.

The silver visor was already stained with blood, and some white smoke of hot blood was sliding down the iron surface, making Setmon's already ferocious appearance even more brutal.

The Charizard was already unconscious and vomiting blood, but was still held down by its two long fangs and unable to fall down.

After waking up, Setmon took two steps back and pulled out his fangs, and Charizard's broken body fell to the ground with a loud bang.

The storm died down and Xiaozhi could see the scene at the venue.

He was stunned. Charizard fell to the ground, his life or death unknown, with Vegeta and Pikachu standing aside.

Without bothering to ask what happened, Xiaozhi quickly put Charizard into the Poké Ball and went to the Poké Center for treatment.

Pikachu and V-mon followed Xiaozhi silently

No one expected that the mad Setmon would cause such serious injuries to Charizard.

"What should we do now? Charizard's injury makes it difficult for him to participate in the next competition. I didn't expect that the out-of-control Setmon would be so terrifying..."

Xiaoxia was still terrified when she saw Joey and Jigglypuff pushing Charizard into the emergency room.

"The situation is not too bad. Although it may hurt to say this, Charizard does not obey orders and cannot be counted as a combat force. I just don't know what Xiaozhi will think. This time it will be a big blow to him."

Xiaogang analyzed the situation calmly. Just as he said, Veemon was very powerful. Even in its tired state, it still defeated almost all of Ayou's Pokémon with ease.

On the other hand, Charizard, who didn't obey orders, even caused Xiaozhi to lose without a fight. Therefore, Charizard's serious injury actually had no effect on Xiaozhi's combat effectiveness, but...

Can Xiaozhi's heart withstand such a blow?

Over the next few days, Charizard was always in emergency treatment, and Ash would stand guard at the door of the treatment room except during the competition.

Just like what Xiaogang said, Xiaozhi's performance in the semi-finals was very bad. He was often distracted and his commands were not as powerful as before.

Fortunately, there are gargoyles, whose fierce attacks defeat all the enemies.

Chapter 186 186. Heart to Heart Communication

"Charizard..."

The day before the finals, Xiaozhi was still sitting at the door of the treatment room.

"This kid..."

Hanako and Oki both came to cheer for Satoshi, but when they arrived they saw Satoshi looking depressed.

"Ding"

The light above the door went out, and Joey finally came out, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Xiaozhi hurried to meet him.

"Ms. Joy! How about Charizard?!"

"It's okay. This Charizard is obviously underdeveloped. It must have evolved prematurely. Don't provoke those scary Pokémon next time. This time was a fluke. You won't be so lucky next time."

Joy warned Ash that she had always believed that Charizard was attacked by a powerful Pokémon in order to protect Ash, and that such a severe injury did not seem to be caused by a Pokémon commanded by a trainer.

Xiaozhi just remained silent. Charizard was injured by his friends. How could he say such a thing out loud?

After taking the Poké Ball at the front desk, Xiaozhi walked out of the Pokémon Center silently.

Xiaoxia wanted to follow, but was stopped by Hanako.

"It's okay, I believe Xiaozhi can get out by himself, don't disturb them."

It was the same training ground as last time. Xiaozhi's hands were shaking slightly. He was afraid to open the Poké Ball, for fear of seeing Charizard's disappointed and angry eyes.

"Pickup"

Seeing Xiaozhi's conflicted look, Pikachu used its tail to pull the Poké Ball out.

The white light turned into a fire-breathing dragon. It has fully recovered after a few days of treatment at the Pokémon Center.

"Sorry! I..."

"Roar!"

Xiaozhi bowed and apologized loudly before Charizard fully revealed itself, and surprisingly, Charizard also bent its neck and roared

The roar suppressed Xiaozhi's words.

The fire-breathing dragon has been lying in bed for these days. I thought it was dying. Then a carousel started running in its mind.

Born from an egg, it was entrusted to a rookie trainer, abandoned because it was weak, rescued by Satoshi, fought for Satoshi's kindness, and evolved into Charizard under the threat of SkeletonGreymon.

After losing because he didn't want to fight, Xiaozhi looked at himself in the training ground, accompanied by Setmon's piercing in Charizard's mind, piercing his heart and body again and again.

It seemed to have some kind of connection with Xiaozhi outside, and a feeling of guilt kept coming from there.

'How am I any different from the bastard who abandoned me?

Charizard suddenly thought of this problem. He was placed with high hopes, but he was so willful that he let others down and disliked this and that. Charizard found that after his evolution, he seemed to have become the kind of guy he hated the most.

Although he was not the strongest in the team, he kept indulging himself in his reckless behavior and almost ruined Xiaozhi in an important competition.

Thinking of the anxious look on Xiaozhi's face that he vaguely saw when he fell to the ground in the training ground, Charizard felt even more guilty.

'He is still so gentle, but I have become like this. I might as well die.'

If I die, will Xiaozhi be sad?

Of course he will, he is so gentle to any life

Maybe God didn't want to make Ash sad, or maybe Setmon finally calmed down, and Charizard was finally rescued.

When it woke up, it didn't dare to face Xiaozhi's disappointed eyes, but Pikachu made the decision for it.

"Pikapi (If you apologize sincerely, we and Xiaozhi will forgive you.)"

Pikachu patted Charizard's leg.

The man and the beast raised their heads and saw self-blame in each other's eyes.
