Chapter 560 Lugia VS Charizard
After Ash recalled Sceptile, his gaze returned to Lugia hovering in mid-air and Darkor, who stood calmly on the other side of the field.
He took the next Poké Ball from his waist, his eyes showing no sign of discouragement from the defeat of the Sceptile King, but rather a burning fighting spirit even stronger because of the Sceptile King.
"I choose you, Charizard!"
The Poké Ball was thrown high into the air, a flash of light appeared, and the Mega Charizard reappeared on the field.
The Charizard that had just entered the arena immediately sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Lugia on the other side of the field.
Far from showing any fear, it became even more excited.
The flames already blazing on its tail suddenly flared up several feet, seemingly reflecting Charizard's current state of mind. Then, it roared deafeningly, opening its massive jaws to unleash a thick pillar of fire—a signature move Charizard often makes when facing powerful enemies. Previously, when it encountered Entei, Charizard's primary motivation was its determination to defeat Entei, hence its calm demeanor.
Charizard's suppressed emotions erupted the moment it saw Lugia.
At the same time, the sunlight above the arena seemed to be infected by Charizard's emotions, becoming even more intense. The originally bright sunlight once again brought a scorching heat, and the temperature in the air rose rapidly.
Ash chose Charizard to battle Lugia for a simple reason.
Of all the Pokémon he currently has, Charizard has the strongest firepower coverage.
More importantly, Charizard's accumulated combat experience and powerful flight ability give it a level of resistance that other Pokémon can hardly match when facing Lugia's hurricanes, which are capable of lifting everything away.
Seeing that both sides were ready, the referee immediately waved his flag and loudly announced, "The match begins!"
Almost the instant the referee finished speaking, Ash quickly activated his Aura, continuing to transmit his command directly into Charizard's mind: "Charizard, Flamethrower!"
Charizard understood immediately, and suddenly opened its huge mouth. A crimson pillar of fire, thicker and hotter than when it fought Entei, roared like an angry fire dragon and swept towards Lugia on the ground.
Faced with the surging flames, Darkor remained calm and composed, simply uttering his command: "Lugia, Storm."
Lugia's wings fluttered slightly, and an invisible, immense force stirred the atmosphere, causing a violent hurricane to condense in front of it, hurtling head-on towards the crimson pillar of fire with an aura of annihilation.
"boom--!!!"
The scorching jet of flame collided violently with the powerful storm in mid-air.
Flames and gale-force winds clashed and neutralized each other, unleashing a deafening roar.
Charizard's Flamethrower was still somewhat ineffective against Lugia's terrifying storm. Although Charizard continued to use Flamethrower to resist stubbornly, the flames it exhaled were constantly being blown away by the storm.
However, the flamethrower is not entirely useless.
At least it successfully blocked most of the storm's power, slowing its advance.
Finally, after both forces gradually subsided, Charizard's flames were completely dispersed by the violent storm. However, the storm released by Lugia was also greatly weakened due to the consumption of energy, leaving only a strong aftershock that broke through the blockade of flames and continued to attack Charizard's location.
Faced with the still-powerful gale, the Charizard flapped its huge wings and nimbly lifted its massive body upwards, narrowly avoiding the direct impact of the first gust of wind.
Without pausing, Charizard continued to flap its wings, its massive body carrying an indomitable momentum, and swiftly flew towards the higher reaches of the sky.
Darko narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the Charizard rise higher and higher.
At first, he thought that Charizard was only keeping a safe distance to avoid the follow-up attacks from the gale.
But he soon realized something was wrong.
The Charizard had not stopped its upward flight; its position continued to rise at an astonishing rate.
Not right.
Finally, at this moment, Darkrod realized, based on his years of experience in Pokémon battles, that Charizard was not making a defensive move, but an offensive one.
If it were just for defense, there would be no need to climb to such a height. But since Charizard did this, it means that it wants to seize air superiority and launch a counterattack against Lugia.
Just as Dacto had guessed.
Suddenly, a dazzling ball of flames blazed up in the sky in front of the fire-breathing dragon. The light was so intense that it seemed to set the sky ablaze.
A moment later, the ball of flame transformed into a giant "大" (big) shape, carrying the momentum to incinerate everything, and roared down toward Lugia's location below.
It's a large character bursting with flames.
What surprised Dakdo even more was that right after that huge "大" (big) character flame, there was another flame that kept advancing.
Darko's gaze sharpened, and he instantly understood Ash's intention.
Charizard was actually using its flamethrower to continuously provide energy for Flamethrower in front of it, in order to compensate for the power reduction that might occur due to the long distance, and even to continuously enhance the power of Flamethrower.
"Just playing petty tricks," Dakdo muttered to himself, his tone unreadable.
Faced with this fiery attack that was falling from the sky and was still gathering power, Darkor did not let Lugia dodge.
For Lugia, dodging such a linear attack is far too easy.
He simply raised his head calmly, watched the flames draw ever closer, and gave the order again.
"Luggia, water cannons, engage!"
Aquamarine light began to gather in Lugia's mouth.
The next second, Lugia's water cannon shot out, turning into a blue torrent.
Almost simultaneously, Charizard roared and charged forward with its Flame Burst.
Water and fire collided head-on in mid-air, producing a loud and muffled sound.
"Oh!"
A huge explosion, accompanied by a dazzling white light and billowing steam, spread and rippled throughout the Lily of the Valley Arena.
The violent energy exploded outwards, creating a gust of wind, and in no time the entire area was completely engulfed by dense steam.
