Chapter 519 Quarterfinals Draw: Ash vs. Jun
"Roar!"
The massive Charizard suddenly turned in the steam, its thick, powerful right claw instantly glowing with a blue light, and with an air-tearing force, it precisely met the steel wing slashed by Immortal Naboo.
"boom--!"
The deafening crash rang out again.
The dragon claws and steel wings collided violently, sparking dazzling flames.
The two powerful forces were locked in a stalemate, seemingly unable to gain the upper hand.
However, this stalemate was only temporary.
Emperor Naboo soon felt the terrifying power emanating from the dragon's claws, a power far exceeding his imagination.
It tried to change the angle of impact of its steel wings, but the next moment it was surprised to find that its steel wings were firmly suppressed by the fire-breathing dragon and could not move at all.
Even his body began to tremble slightly from the immense force.
In the contest of strength, King Naboth was clearly at a disadvantage.
Now I'm really sweating a lot.
Hirano is considered an experienced trainer.
He had fought many Charizards, but he had never seen a Charizard as well-rounded as the one on the other side.
He even began to wonder how Ash trained Charizard to become so powerful.
But right now, the most important thing is to break the deadlock first.
"Use the water cannon like this!"
Hirano quickly directed the counterattack.
Energy began to gather on Emperor Naboo's sharp beak; the water cannon was about to fire.
"Charizard, increase your power to interrupt it, then use Flamethrower!"
However, Ash seemed to have already guessed his plan. The moment Hirano's voice rang out, Ash had already found a way to break the deadlock.
"Roar--!!!"
The fire-breathing dragon roared, and the blue light on its claws suddenly became even more intense and dazzling, unleashing its power once more!
"Crack!"
A muffled thud.
The Emperor Naboo's water cannon-forming motion abruptly halted as its body was pushed backward by the Charizard's immense force, thus interrupting the formation of the still-developing water cannon.
Just as Emperor Naboo lost its balance, Charizard's massive, blazing maw was once again aimed at it!
boom!
The scorching flames struck Naboo the Emperor squarely on the chest, and then the flames spread outwards.
"Wave--!!"
Emperor Naboo let out a painful cry as his body was completely engulfed in flames.
But this is not over yet.
"Final blow! Charizard, overheat!"
Ash pressed his advantage and issued the command to end the match.
The Charizard instantly burst into even more ferocious flames, the orange-red flames engulfing its entire body in an instant, radiating a terrifyingly high temperature capable of melting steel.
The next second, this immense heat, condensed to its extreme, transformed into a destructive sea of fire, sweeping towards Emperor Nabo, who had just landed.
"Get out of the way! Emperor Naboo!" Hirano shouted in a panic.
But it was all too late.
At such close range, and given that Emperor Naboo had just been hit by a powerful flamethrower, he simply didn't have time to make any effective dodge maneuvers.
"BOOM—!!!!"
The body of Emperor Naboo was completely engulfed by the raging, overheated flames. Only the crackling sound of the flames burning wildly and Emperor Naboo's last, unwilling cry could be heard.
As the flames subsided, a charred mark remained on the ground.
Emperor Naboo's body was emitting wisps of black smoke, and his eyes had turned into vortexes, completely losing his ability to fight.
The entire room fell silent for a moment.
Then, the referee's loud voice resounded throughout the stadium, breaking the deathly silence:
"Emperorona is unable to battle! Charizard wins! Therefore, the winner of this match is Ash from Pallet Town!"
.......
Amidst the murmurs and cheers of the audience, Ash waved to the crowd, retrieved his still-unsatisfied Charizard, and then, with Pikachu by his side, walked briskly into the contestant tunnel.
While it's gratifying to win this round, the draw for the quarterfinals is even more important.
As the final round of 16 match came to a close, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the Lily of the Valley Arena in a golden glow.
The noisy venue gradually quieted down after a long day, but the tension and anticipation in the air only increased.
All the eight finalists who successfully advanced, as well as countless spectators watching this grand event, focused their attention on the stage in the center of the venue.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the emcee, microphone in hand, delivered his narration with an excited smile:
"Now, let's unveil the most exciting event of this year's Lily of the Valley Conference: the draw for the quarterfinals! Starting from the quarterfinals, the Pokémon in each match will change from 3 vs. 3 to 6 vs. 6! What will the teams be tomorrow? Please look at the big screen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the image on the large screen in the center of the venue switched instantly.
The portraits of the eight contestants began to spin and flash rapidly around the central "VS" logo, each change captivating the hearts of everyone present.
The lottery system is completely random, and no one can predict the outcome.
The first pairing was quickly determined.
On the left side of the screen, Dakdo's portrait was the first to freeze.
Next, the image on the right is of another quarterfinalist.
"The first pair has appeared! It's Dakdo, facing..." the emcee announced loudly.
A low gasp rippled through the crowd, many feeling sorry for the trainer who had drawn Darkor. The "unlucky" trainer's eyes dimmed for a moment, but after thinking about Koping's performance, the dimness in his eyes returned. He stared at Darkor's figure from the nearby preparation room, as if making a silent declaration of war against him.
As for Dakdo, his expression remained calm after identifying his opponent. Although he had been tricked by Kaoping earlier, he did not believe that he had any chance of losing.
If there's still a slim chance of a 3v3 situation.
Then 6 against 6 is guaranteed to win.
However, he needs to be more vigilant about potential "tactics".
Then, the screen scrolled again.
The results of the second group's matches were also announced.
Shinji faces off against a trainer whose strength is equally formidable.
At this point, all four contestants have found their opponents.
The rest—
Ash and Ash exchanged glances for a moment in mid-air while in the preparation area, then smiled at each other and looked up at the big screen above.
at last.
In a breathless silence, the avatars on both sides of the screen froze completely.
Ash vs. Ash.
This is also another encounter between the dark horse and the champion in this year's Lily of the Valley Grand Prix.
The last match between Kaoping and Dakdo provided a spectacular show for the tournament.
This battle between Ash and Ash will certainly not be boring.
Aside from the audience, Ash and Ash themselves are probably the ones most looking forward to this match.
