Chapter 149 Responding to His Expectations: The Second Blaze and the Miraculous Evolution
"Oji!!"
The little fire monkey was enveloped in flames created by the raging fire, its crimson eyes fixed intently on the fireball rat. This imposing aura even made the fireball rat take two steps back.
"It's alright, just follow the plan."
At that moment, Ash's calm words were like a shot of adrenaline for Cyndaquil.
Cyndaquil took a deep breath and stared at Chimchar.
Then—
"Flame Wheel!"
Ash goes first, sending Cyndaquil to launch a fierce attack on Chimchar.
Meanwhile, Chimchar, whose heart was already filled with violence, didn't care about anything else. Seeing that Cyndaquil dared to take the initiative to attack, Chimchar naturally refused to be outdone and returned a Flame Wheel attack.
"Boom!"
"Hi~No~!"
A match where the outcome was a foregone conclusion.
Even though Chimchar should have lost its ability to battle, under the influence of Blaze, Chimchar is now showing several times more power than it did on the first day when it was at full strength.
This power is something that the current Cyndaquil cannot contend with.
"Patchlitz, use it!"
"and many more."
Seeing that Ash and Cyndaquil couldn't hold out, Dawn wanted to ask Pachirisu for help, but Ash stopped her.
"Leave it to us."
Ash quietly observed the situation on the field and spoke in a firm tone.
Similar to Ash's current situation, Shinji was also silently watching the Chimchar battling on the field, without uttering a sound or giving any commands. He simply shook his head with slight disappointment and muttered:
"So you're not qualified after all."
......
On the field, Cyndaquil had just recovered from the shock of the previous second when it looked up and met the gaze of Chimchar, who was slowly approaching it with heavy steps.
Its gaze remained fierce, as if it wanted to destroy everything in its sight. The flames enveloping it grew even stronger, and even Cyndaquil, another Fire-type Pokémon, could clearly feel just how terrifying those flames were.
Lukewarm.
These are the personality traits of Cyndaquil.
Ash knew it would be difficult for the usually timid Cyndaquil to face such an opponent, but he also understood that hidden beneath its mild-mannered nature lay strength and potential no less than that of other Pokémon.
After realizing that he needed a stronger Pokémon to help him, Ash's former companions, whom he had left at Professor Oak's lab, began training, and Cyndaquil was one of them.
They had the motivation to become stronger, the potential to be no less than other Pokémon, and also had this opportunity.
Now Cyndaquil only has one problem left to solve.
"Cyndaquil! Flamethrower!"
"Hi~No!"
No matter how afraid the Chimchar is of approaching it, as long as Ash's command comes to its ear, Cyndaquil's target becomes clear.
The thought of retreat was instantly replaced by a surge of trust and drive. Flames, brighter than ever before, ignited on its back and were then released from its mouth.
"Oji!"
Chimchar naturally wouldn't be outdone and retaliated with Flamethrower. This time, the two attacks reached a stalemate at the intersection. However, the good times didn't last long. Soon, Chimchar overpowered Cyndaquil's Flamethrower again and advanced directly towards Cyndaquil's location.
"Dodge, then unleash the Flame Wheel with all your might!"
Ash made a judgment in an instant.
The Flamethrower was canceled, and Chimchar quickly rushed over. Although Cyndaquil was moving very fast, it still got a slight scratch on its shoulder from such a swift attack.
But Cyndaquil didn't care. Instead, it controlled the flames on its back to envelop its entire body and charged towards Chimchar with unstoppable momentum.
"Ouch!!!"
The little fire monkey neither dodged nor counterattacked. It simply showed an angry expression, opened its arms, and just as the fire wheel was about to hit, it grabbed the fireball rat, which was engulfed in flames, from both sides.
The little Chimchar seemed completely oblivious to the power of the Cyndaquil's flames. Its mouth curled up arrogantly, and then a flame even hotter and more powerful than the Cyndaquil's flames engulfed both of them.
"Hi~No!"
"Oji!!"
Amidst the flames, the two Pokémon glared at each other, neither willing to back down, neither daring to relax their guard.
This is a contest of willpower and physical strength. The flames on both sides are attacking each other, and it remains to be seen who will collapse first.
"Cyndaquil! Overpower it with all your might!!"
Finally, in this stalemate, Ash spoke again, his almost hoarse voice causing Cyndaquil to slowly raise its head.
“HI...No......”
At the same time, Cyndaquil recalled what Ash had said to it yesterday.
More accurately, it should be described as Ash's "request" to himself.
......
"Cyndaquil... Tomorrow, if your opponent triggers Blaze and you make contact with each other... please hold on, you must suppress it. I know it's a very difficult thing, but right now only you can do it!"
"Although your flames are currently weaker than those under the raging fire, it's alright. After all, you've been preparing for this for a long time, haven't you? You've even learned the Flame Wheel... This is enough to prove your efforts and your determination to become stronger. I'm truly grateful that you've worked so hard for me after hearing that I needed power. Meeting you is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me..."
"Now, it needs a catalyst, and you need a catalyst too. This catalyst lies in whether you can suppress, sense, and assimilate its flames during your close contact with it. If you can do that, you will definitely experience a qualitative leap, and then use the power of that leap to..."
......
"HINO!!!"
With an unprecedented belief and will to win, the flames on Cyndaquil's back began to burn even more intensely.
It no longer conserves its energy, but instead allows its energy to be constantly depleted.
The next moment, a more vivid and powerful flame erupted from the Fireball Rat's back, shooting straight into the sky.
"A raging fire?"
Shinji on the other side was finally moved.
Although this raging fire, in terms of sheer power, cannot surpass the "raging fire" of the little fire monkey at this moment.
But, strangely enough.
This shouldn't be a power that Cyndaquil should possess or control, could it be...?
A conjecture arose in Shinji's mind, and in the next instant, his conjecture was finally confirmed.
Amidst the crimson flames, a holy, clear, and bright white light suppressed everything. The Cyndaquil's body began to grow larger, and the flames intensified as the light faded.
Has it evolved...?
Xiao Guang stared in astonishment at the scene before him.
This could be described as an amazing scene of turning adversity into opportunity.
