Chapter 133

Flint: "Just asking, don't be so irritable."]

Charla: "Heh."]

[It's just that Flint isn't in front of her; otherwise, she would definitely let Flint know why flowers are so red.]

[Blood-red wings, skin deeper than ordinary Charizards, the body size is not exaggerated, about the same size as Ash's Charizard. What is most impressive is that its entire body is covered with scars, and there is almost no intact skin.]

["Why are there so many scars?" Misty said with disbelief.]

[Since the League promoted Pokémon Centers all over the world, trainers' Pokémon rarely leave scars.]

[Nurse Joy is not only a healing master but also a beauty master; as long as the injured Pokémon is sent to the Pokémon Center, it is impossible to leave any scars.]

[Misty's surprise was very useful to Charla, and she said proudly: "Scars are the medals of wild Charizards. By the way, its name is Scar, and it is the strongest Charizard in the Charizard Valley."]

[Scar stood there without moving, but Ash still felt the chill coming toward him. This guy is definitely a veteran who has been through hundreds of battles, and his battle experience is even richer than his Charizard's.]

["Boom!!!"]

[The one who started the trouble first was Ash's Charizard; it didn't allow a Charizard more awesome than it to exist in the world. With light steps, it rushed toward Scar quickly.]

[During Charizard's running process, dark blue Dragon-type energy was rapidly arming its claws. Charizard was prepared to repeat the old trick and use Dragon Claw to take down the opponent.]

[When it was only one meter away from the opponent, Charizard made a move, and its claws swung fiercely at the opponent, with such momentum that it seemed to want to cut the opponent into two pieces.]

[The onlookers all held their breath, not even daring to breathe, for fear of affecting the match between the two sides.]

[Casey gently pressed her chest with her hand; her heart was beating wildly. She was really nervous now; she really wanted to know how Scar would deal with Charizard's attack.]

[Is it dodging? Or defense? Or defensive counterattack?]

[The answer is none of the above.]

[In Casey's unbelievable eyes, Scar just stood there, letting Charizard's attack hit its chest.]

[At this moment, blood splashed everywhere.]

Lance: "Damn, is this guy a lunatic? Doesn't it hurt?"]

Just by looking, Lance felt a piercing pain; he simply couldn't imagine how much it hurt the person involved.]

Flint: "Wow, so cool, I have never seen such a cool Pokémon!"]

[Taking the opponent's attack hard and then putting on a cold expression, it's really as cool as it gets. Next time I duel with Cynthia, I'll do this too.]

Aaron: "No, Flint, do you want to listen to what you're saying?"]

Lucian: "You are even crazier than Scar. If you dare to do this in a battle with Cynthia, I guarantee Cynthia will beat you into a pig's head!"]

[People who don't respect the battle won't get Cynthia's respect, and once Cynthia is angered.]

[Hiss, Lucian doesn't dare to imagine it anymore.]

Flint: "I was just saying it casually."]

Lorelei: "It's the first time I've seen such a wild Charizard."]

[The word "wild" is usually used to describe wild Pokémon, but in fact, there are not many wild Pokémon that can deserve this word.]

[Most wild Pokémon are actually more timid than Pokémon raised by trainers; once there is any disturbance, they will flee.]

[But Scar is clearly not in this category; it was born for the word "wild."]

[The chest is still bleeding, but Scar doesn't care; it dipped its finger in its own blood and put it to its mouth to enjoy.]

[While enjoying the blood, it closed its eyes and showed an obsessed expression.]

["Pervert." Casey couldn't help it. It was the first time she had seen such a crazy Pokémon; it was no different from a lunatic.]

[Ash, as the opponent, didn't have much feeling; he wouldn't be affected by these little tricks.]

[After enjoying the blood, Scar opened its eyes. At this moment, its momentum changed completely; its eyes were blood-red, and its whole body exuded a crazy momentum; it was about to start attacking.]

[Scratch.]

[The most ordinary move. When Charizard was still a Charmander, the only close-range move was Scratch, but once it evolved into Charmeleon, Scratch would gradually be replaced by Slash. But Scar is a Charizard that doesn't take the usual path; it's already the overlord in the valley, and its attack method is still so plain and unadorned.]

[Facing the opponent's Scratch, Charizard chose to respond with Dragon Claw. It thought that by using the more powerful Dragon Claw, it would win with an overwhelming advantage, but reality slapped it hard.]

[In the first contest with Scar, it quickly fell into a disadvantage.]

[Dragon Claw is definitely more powerful than Scratch, but its strength is too much worse than Scar's.]

["... This guy's strength is too great." Brock was shocked. Ash's Charizard's strength talent is explosive enough; at full strength, it can even lift his Onix, but today, it actually lost in a strength contest to a Charizard of the same size as itself; this is simply incredible.]

["Open the distance, Charizard."]

[Charizard lost to the opponent in the strength contest; Ash wasn't too surprised. Scar is the top card of the Charizard Valley after all; if there were no highlights, it would be strange.]

[The opponent's strength is strong, so don't fight with the opponent, open the distance, and use long-range attack means to suppress the opponent.]

["Charizard, Ancient Power."]

[After opening enough distance, Ash issued a new command.]

[Huge rocks condensed in front of Charizard, and then it threw the huge rocks heavily at Scar.]

[Scar didn't care about Charizard's attack, still Scratch, plain and ordinary Scratch, but it was this ordinary Scratch move that cut the rock in half.]

[Scar seemed very dissatisfied with Charizard's cowardly behavior. In its view, a real man should come hard; a battle that dodges and hides is not a battle between men.]

["Boom!"]

[It let out a dissatisfied roar and used gestures to mock Charizard for being a coward.]

[Coward? How could Charizard endure this grievance? It exploded instantly. Just as it was about to fly over and have a head-on duel with Scar, Ash's voice appeared in its ears.]

["Calm down, Charizard."]

[The trust and respect for the trainer finally overcame the anger in its heart, and Charizard forced itself to calm down, quietly waiting for Ash's next command.]

["This is the difference between a trainer's Pokémon and a wild Pokémon." Ash said to Charla, "Wild Pokémon will only rely on desire to battle, while a trainer's Pokémon does everything for the sake of winning."]

[It is good to let Pokémon follow their own hearts to battle, but there is a premise: they must win. Only under the premise of winning can they let Pokémon battle wantonly, but once they realize that this mode cannot win, they must pull the initiative back into their own hands.]

Ash: "But Charizard clearly wanted to have a hearty battle with Scar, why stop it?"]

Lance: "Because that would lose."]

[Just from the first collision, Black Ash already understood that Charizard was no match for Scar in a head-on battle. Since that was the case, he naturally wouldn't let Charizard continue to fight.]

Bruno: "Losing a match for a meaningless fight is not what a trainer should do."]

[A trainer's role is to help Pokémon find the path to victory in battle.]

[If everything follows the Pokémon's wishes, then what is the need for a trainer.]

Leon: "Black Ash has already seen through Scar's weakness; the match can be declared over."]

Charla: "Weakness? What weakness does Scar have?"]

Leon: "Too much emphasis on physical fitness, while ignoring the honing of skills. In terms of physical conditions alone, Scar is the most excellent Charizard I have ever seen. Even stronger than my Charizard."]

[But it's a pity, battle never just looks at physical fitness.]

["Another Ancient Power."]

[Scar, who cut the stone again, was very dissatisfied. This kind of battle is not what it wants; what it wants is a hearty battle where fists hit flesh. It doesn't like this kind of soft-egg-like battle at all.]

[But it has no way to dislike it. The initiative of the battle is not in its hands, its flight speed is not as fast as the opponent's, and it can only be beaten passively.]

[This is the drawback of Scar relying too much on close combat; once the opponent chooses to avoid the battle, it can only be beaten.]

126: Charla: Agree to my condition, and I'll be your girlfriend!]

[The wild Charizards in the valley are all dead-brained and won't play routines with Scar, but the Charizards outside the valley, caught by trainers, are different; their routines are deeper than one another.]

[So what if you are awesome at close combat? I just won't play close combat with you.]

[A true powerhouse must be a hexagonal warrior; only in this way will they not be caught in a flaw.]

[Ancient Power, Ancient Power, still Ancient Power.]

[At this time, Scar also felt something wrong. The opponent not only didn't look exhausted because of the continuous move release, but instead, the momentum became more and more prosperous.]

Ash: "What happened? How does Black Ash's Charizard look more powerful?"]

Brock: "It's Ancient Power. The additional effect of Ancient Power, sometimes it will improve all the abilities of the Pokémon when using the move."]

Misty: "In other words, Black Ash letting Charizard use Ancient Power non-stop is not to consume the opponent, but to improve Charizard's strength?"]

Cynthia: "Correct. Scar is going to suffer. Black Ash's Charizard is about to be invincible."]

Lance: "Must be invincible; the six dimensions are all improved to the extreme; if this is not invincible, who is invincible?"]

Clair: "This is the deficiency of wild Pokémon; if it were any trainer's Pokémon, they wouldn't watch the opponent strengthen to the limit."]

[The opponent is finally willing to battle with it, but before Scar could be happy for a few seconds, it discovered a terrible thing: the strength it was proud of couldn't suppress the opponent at all. No, no, no, not only couldn't suppress the opponent, but now it was the opponent suppressing it.]

[Scar couldn't accept this result and tried to counterattack, but everything was just in vain. Charizard, whose six dimensions were improved to the extreme, let alone Scar, even if a Champion-level Pokémon came, Ash would have the mood to fight a few moves.]

[Three minutes later, Scar was knocked down again and couldn't stand up this time.]

[The match is over, and Charla has also changed from the excitement and expectation before the battle to silence now.]

[Scar's failure is not the most unacceptable thing for her; what she cannot accept is the way Scar lost.]
