Chapter 518 Strong Tournament, Charizard Makes its Appearance!
The final match of the Lily of the Valley Tournament, the round of 16 to 8, was the focus of everyone's attention.
The blazing sun shone brightly on the entire battlefield, and the air was thick with tension and anticipation.
The huge electronic screen clearly displayed the current battle situation: Ash had already won two battles, and two Pokémon heads symbolizing victory were shining brightly. Below them was a gray Poké Ball pattern that had not yet been revealed.
His opponent, Hirano, had only the icon of the last Poké Ball below his trainer's portrait, making him stand out.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Hirano's forehead, and his eyes were filled with seriousness.
In the first two rounds, Ash's Snorlax and Bayleaf were much stronger than he had expected.
Although he had found an opportunity when facing Bayleaf, thinking he could defeat Bayleaf in that instant, he didn't expect that even the opportunity he found was just something Ash deliberately revealed to lure him into a trap.
Thus, his own Duckbill Flame Beast and Blue Emperor were defeated one after another.
It wasn't until he battled Ash that he realized, as a trainer, Ash might be much more troublesome than Darkrai.
"Come back, Laurel Leaf."
Just then, Ash's voice rang out, as relaxed as ever.
A flash of red light appeared, and Bay Leaf, which was gently swaying its leaves and calling out to Ash as if it still wanted to continue the battle, was returned to its Poké Ball by Ash.
Knew it.
Hirano's eyelids twitched.
This guy hasn't sent out the same Pokémon even once since the Lily of the Valley Conference started.
It seems this guy won't be using the same Pokémon until the 6-on-6 match begins.
Although this is also the last 3-on-3 match.
This absolute composure about his own abilities also put Hirano under heavy pressure.
But things have come to this point, and there's no point in backing down.
He took a deep breath, his eyes hardening again, suppressing all his tension and unease, and unleashed his last hope, his strongest trump card.
"The final victory rests in your hands, Naboth the King!"
The baby ball traced a decisive arc in the air, landed red, and the emperor Napo, head held high, stood proudly on the field.
"Wave!!!"
Almost at the same time that Empoleon appeared, Ash also raised his Poké Ball, took a deep breath, as if he was looking forward to the next Pokémon to appear.
"I choose you! Charizard!"
A crimson light burst forth!
"Roar--!!!!"
A roar powerful enough to shake the soul resounded through the sky.
Charizard?
Although King Naboo has the Steel attribute, he has an absolute advantage at least on the offensive end.
In this situation, why would they send out Charizard against their type?
There were many voices of discussion at the scene, and no one seemed to understand Xiaozhi's choice.
In a corner of the stands, Serena watched the formidable Charizard on the field, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes. She turned to Dawn and Brock beside her and asked, "Was that flame that suddenly lit up in the backyard of the Pokémon Center last night released by this Charizard?"
Xiao Guang blinked and carefully recalled last night: "I think so? Ash and the others were the only ones in the backyard of the Pokémon Center at the time."
After saying that, Xiao Guang turned his gaze to Xiao Gang, as if waiting for Xiao Gang to say something.
Xiao Gang simply nodded silently.
"Yes, that's it." Xiao Gang introduced the Charizard to the two of them.
"Ash's Charizard usually undergoes rigorous training in a place called Charizard Valley. It is only called back when Ash encounters a really tough battle. You could say that Charizard is one of Ash's most trusted partners. Speaking of which, it has been a long time since I've seen Charizard. I wonder how much it has grown since it came back this time."
Just as the audience was discussing the matter, the referee on the field had already raised his flag high.
"Game start!"
The moment the flag was lowered, Hirano seized the initiative. He didn't intend to give Charizard any chance and had to use his type advantage to win the match as soon as possible!
"Naboth the Emperor, unleash the water cannon!"
"Wave!"
Emperor Naboo accepted the order, and the trident on his head glowed faintly, while a massive amount of energy rapidly gathered in its beak.
The next second, a powerful jet of high-pressure water shot out, accompanied by a whistling sound, heading straight for the fire-breathing dragon in mid-air.
Faced with the oncoming water cannons, Ash remained unusually calm, simply choosing to confront them head-on.
"Use the jet flame like this!"
"Roar--!!!"
Charizard was highly motivated to fight.
It inhaled sharply, its chest bulging, then opened its enormous mouth and spewed out flames.
The power of this jet of flame is obvious to the naked eye; it far surpasses that of a typical Fire-type Pokémon. The terrifying temperature is so high that it even causes severe distortion of the air along its path.
boom--!!!
Water and fire, two completely opposite energies, collided violently in the center of the arena.
A terrifying explosion rang out, and a large amount of white steam instantly spread out, covering half of the area and making a hissing sound.
To everyone's disbelief, including Hirano's, the power of this jet of flame was in no way inferior to that of the water cannon that countered it.
The dazzling torrent of flames, ranging from red to golden, actually withstood the impact of the high-pressure water cannon, and even slowly overwhelmed the water cannon of Emperor Naboo.
Some viewers even started to think that Ash's Charizard's Flamethrower could rival the Flamethrower used by Darkrai's Entei yesterday.
But judging from the performance on the field, it seems that the power of the Flame Emperor's flames is superior.
Everyone was secretly comparing their own opinions.
Hirano's pupils shrank upon seeing the scene before him. His ace, Emperor Napoleon, was unable to suppress Charizard head-on?
Are you kidding me?
Could it be that the opponent has always grown up in an environment of fighting against opponents with the opposite attribute?
Clearly, this Charizard's power has exceeded his understanding of type advantages.
This standoff cannot continue.
Hirano was the first to start getting anxious.
"Emperor Nabo, charge forward and use Steel Wings!"
Taking advantage of the obstructed view due to the steam, Hirano decisively changed his orders.
The massive body of the Emperor Naboo appeared and disappeared in the steam. It suddenly retracted its water cannons, dodging the direct attack of the flame jets. Its wings gleamed with a cold, metallic luster, like two sharp blades. Under the cover of the steam, it quickly rushed towards the location of the Charizard.
"Charizard, Dragon Claw!"
When Ash sent Charizard into battle, he never considered avoiding a direct confrontation.
He also wanted to see just how powerful Charizard was at this moment, and whether it could control the even more ferocious flames after completing its Mega Evolution.
