Chapter 190: Super Charizard X vs. Flame Emperor!

Roar!

As soon as Charizard appeared, it let out an angry roar.

"I'll come and exchange blows with the Flame Emperor."

Ash unleashed Wave Guidance Power, tightened his cap, and the Wave Guidance turned into an air wave that swept outward.

Roar!

The Flame Emperor's gaze suddenly turned sharp, his whole body exuding a dignified aura; he leapt up, aimed at Ash's Charizard, and fiercely spat out a Fire Blast.

The flames were like an angry fire dragon, bringing scorching heat, and surged straight toward Charizard.

Charizard would not be outdone, likewise using Fire Blast to go up against the Flame Emperor.

Two massive flames met in the air, colliding and emitting dazzling firelight; the surrounding air seemed to ignite, temperature soaring, even distant trees swayed in the heat wave.

The flames exploded in the middle, forming a huge fireball, then gradually dissipated.

Both sides returned to a standoff once again.

"Charizard, unleash the power of the original stone!"

Ash and Charizard were telepathically linked; Charizard executed with extreme speed, summoning a pile of stones like a dense arrow rain, smashing fiercely toward the Flame Emperor.

The Flame Emperor kept jumping, easily dodging all the stones; those stones missed and finally fell helplessly to the ground.

Charizard flapped its wings and flew over, its claws emitting a pale green light, slashing straight at the Flame Emperor.

The Flame Emperor dodged even faster, almost leaping up to avoid the attack the moment Charizard launched it; at the same time, he again used Fire Blast against Charizard.

Boom!

Seeing this, Charizard fiercely swung its dragon claw, directly shattering that Fire Blast.

The flames exploded in the air, turning into clusters of splendid sparks.

I......

Shangye saw Charizard, who had exchanged several blows with the Flame Emperor without falling behind, and recalled that just earlier, in front of Ash, he had told him that he had specially trained his Munna to fight the Flame Emperor, but the Flame Emperor had defeated it in a single move; now he felt a pang of embarrassment, and nobody had said how strong they were.

Brock noticed Shangye's inner thoughts and gave him some advice.

Watch closely how Ash and Charizard are fighting!

Not only Shangye is watching; the two Gym Leaders are also watching, and from Ash's battle situation we can learn a lot.

Focus on the abilities and tactical use of Pokémon!

Qibana and Dandi both felt that Ash's use of tactics on the field was very proficient, and they also considered that certain moves could cause ongoing damage or status effects to the opponent, thereby creating favorable battle conditions for what comes next.

Now Ash is doing exactly that: against the Flame Emperor he used many approaches, such as the strengthening type, using Dragon Dance to boost speed and attack power, then using moves like Dragon Claw to attack.

There is also the turret-style approach, but the Flame Emperor is not at all weak to it, so Ash combined both, mutually draining stamina with the Flame Emperor.

"Charizard!"

Ash's Key Stone suddenly burst forth with dazzling rainbow light, brilliant and blinding, forming a wonderful link with the Evolution Key Stone in Charizard's pendant.

As the rainbow light continuously gathered, it tightly enveloped Charizard's entire body.

As the rainbow light gradually faded, Charizard appeared before everyone in a completely new form.

"Another Mega Evolution!"

Dandi looked at the Mega Evolution Charizard behind the Black Light Screen, his expression excited, he murmured: "Let me witness the full-power Super Charizard!"

After Mega Evolution, Charizard's abilities greatly increased; plus Ash's Wave Guidance boost, its power surged, and it spewed forth scorching, deep blue flames from its mouth.

Facing the Flame Emperor's Fire Blast, Charizard's blue flames were like a pure stream, instantly suppressing the Flame Emperor's fire and accurately striking his body.

Taking advantage of the brief moment when the Flame Emperor was suppressed by the flames, Charizard swiftly launched an offensive. Its agile body lunged forward, those claws flashing with icy cold light like sharp blades, carrying a howling gust, and it slashed toward the Flame Emperor with a mighty, heavy posture.

The Flame Emperor directly used Big Blast, and Charizard's Big Blast fiercely collided with the Flame Emperor's.

Boom!

Charizard stubbornly held up the Big Blast, gradually lifting it aloft. The Big Blast in the air gradually shrank, becoming medium then small, finally turning into nothing and vanishing without a trace.

Charizard's claws seized the moment to strike the Flame Emperor's body, indeed knocking him back a considerable distance. The Flame Emperor slid across the ground to steady himself, leaving a deep trace.

"No way?"

Shangye watched from the side, his eyes filled with shock; although he didn't know what method Ash and Charizard had used, he was certain that Charizard could actually beat the Flame Emperor.

This situation is exactly what he has been hoping for every day, except the protagonist isn't him!

This Ash is just too strong, huh; his Munna was recalled to its Poké Ball with a single roar, and I never expected Ash's Charizard to be this formidable, growing braver with each battle!
