Chapter 54

【Xiba: Why don't you guys from Team Rocket change careers? I feel being a villain really doesn't suit you.】

【Juzi: This luck is practically heaven-defying; just casually messing around and we found the location of the Fossil Poké Ball.】

【Musashi: Hmph, we are villains, don't talk to us about changing careers.】

【Xiaocilang: If it weren't for this little brat, we would have already subdued those Fossil Poké Balls.】

【Miaomiao: Just meow!】

【Ash: Do you guys have no shame? You also didn't look at how embarrassed you looked when you encountered Fossil Poké Balls in Stupid Valley.】

【Miaomiao: How dare you say that about us? You yourself were snatched up into the sky by a Fossil Wing Dragon, meow!】

【Musashi: Looks like you're even more embarrassed than us, hahaha!】

【Xiaomao: You guys here are fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps; you'd better look at how you got violently beaten by the Black Light Screen!】

Team Rocket Trio: (angry face with a plate)!!!

「Little brat, thanks for holding up! 」

Team Rocket Trio's Poké Balls were all defeated, and moreover those Fossil Poké Balls seem to also want to attack them.

「Money Turtle, Water Gun! 」

Money Turtle just came out of the Spirit Ball and immediately sprayed a thick stream of water, driving back the Fossil Poké Ball.

「Fire Dinosaur, Cleave! 」

Fire Dinosaur blocked two Fossil Armors.

「Wonderful Frog Seed, Vine Whip! 」

Wonderful Frog Seed used Vine Whip to strike the Ammonite Beast.

All Fossil Poké Balls were defeated by Ash and his friends.

「Everyone, we mean no harm; we didn't intentionally disturb your rest. 」

Ash felt the Fossil Poké Balls' emotions becoming increasingly agitated.

「Little brat, you're really strong! 」

Team Rocket Trio hid behind the rocks.

They were calculating: "Later, we'll take advantage of when the brat is focused on dealing with the fossil Pokémon and snatch Pikachu."

"Wouldn't that be not good?"

Xiaojirou had just finished speaking when he found Wuzang and Miaomiao's deadly stare.

"What's there to be good or not, we are bad guys!"

Soon, Xiaojirou was convinced!

But before they could make a move, a roar came from deep inside the cave.

"There won't be any big guy, right?"

As the words fell, a completely gray Poké Ball flew out from the darkness, flapping its wings, glaring down at Ash.

"Fossil Wing Dragon!"

Ash didn't expect there to be a Fossil Wing Dragon here.

The Fossil Wing Dragon, without saying a word, immediately attacked Ash, throwing several stones.

"Pikachu, Iron Tail!"

"Fire Dragon, Cleave!"

After smashing the stones, the Fossil Wing Dragon hid itself in the darkness, striking the nearby stone pillar.

The stones inside the cave fell, as if it were about to collapse.

"Come back first!"

Ash recalled Squirtle and Bulbasaur, then shouted at the Fire Dragon: "Use Dragon Breath to the right!"

The Fire Dragon opened its mouth and fiercely spewed a scorching Dragon Breath to the right, its momentum formidable.

The Fossil Wing Dragon withstood the Fire Dragon's Dragon Breath, indifferent, and struck the Fire Dragon's flank with its hard wings.

Crack~

The Fire Dragon patted the spot where the Fossil Wing Dragon had hit it, and its eyes, full of fighting spirit, stared straight at the Fossil Wing Dragon, battle intent blazing.

"Fire Dragon, you want to fight it, right?"

Ash stood aside, he could clearly feel the Fire Dragon's strong fighting spirit, which was ignited against such a powerful Poké Ball as the Fossil Wing Dragon.

"Then let's fight here."

Ash prevented the Fossil Wing Dragon from flying up, attracting the attention of those trainers; otherwise those fossil Poké Ball would have to flee everywhere.

Moreover, this cave can still hold up.

The Fire Dragon looked back at Ash, received his approval, and then could let loose and go all out.

"Straight ahead, cleave!"

Ash gave the Fire Dragon its position.

Every time the Fossil Wing Dragon swooped down, it was always blocked by the Fire Dragon, and even pushed back by the Fire Dragon's powerful, heavy cleave.

The Fossil Wing Dragon was very surprised; this medium-sized Fire Dragon turned out to be so strong, each time they clashed, it always gained the upper hand.

"Fire Dragon is so strong!"

Wuzang watched as the Fire Dragon used Cleave to shatter the rocks the Fossil Wing Dragon had flung down; the destructive power was truly strong.

"The brat's Poké Ball are all strong, and it's getting harder and harder for us to catch Pikachu."

Xiaojirou agreed.

"Don't argue, the battle is entering a white-hot stage, Meow."

Miaomiao stared intently at the showdown between the Fire Dragon and the Fossil Wing Dragon.

Charmeleon, dodge its Stone Edge attack.

Charmeleon dodged everywhere, but couldn't withstand the sheer number of stone spikes; even with its arms crossed in front, it was still blown away by the stone spikes.

Kapow~

Charmeleon's body was slammed onto a stone pillar behind it, the pillar behind it cracked with several marks; after sliding down the pillar, Charmeleon staggered a few steps— that Stone Edge attack really hurt.

It's over, Charmeleon can't beat Aerodactyl!

Xiao Cilang widened their eyes, overcome by type disadvantage.

Don't make noise, Charmeleon hasn't lost yet; it still wants to keep fighting.

Meowth could feel Charmeleon's reluctance, and had to defeat this flying guy.

Sniffle, go Charmeleon, we support you!

Seeing Charmeleon still wanting to battle, Ash decided not to send out Pikachu, but to let Charmeleon fight to the end.

Charmeleon, block it.

Aerodactyl rushed over from the darkness, Charmeleon blocked its wings with both hands, but felt unable to withstand it; gradually, it was pushed back.

Kapow~

Charmeleon gritted its teeth, looking at the nearby Aerodactyl, a fiercer flame ignited in its heart.

How could I lose to you......

In Charmeleon's eyes appeared the memory of Ash carrying it to the Pokémon Center in the rain, the time they trained and played together.

Suddenly making up its mind, it tightly gripped Aerodactyl, pushing forward step by step; the flame on its tail flared up intensely, gradually engulfing its whole body, and the evolution light appeared as well.

Charmeleon!

Ash also sensed the growing flame within Charmeleon's body—it was about to evolve into Charizard!

Pika pika!

Pikachu's little face was flushed red by the fiery glow.

Boom!

It was the iron ring on Charmeleon's body that burst open and fell to the ground.

Charmeleon's body underwent a change.

In one motion, it threw Aerodactyl away.

Roar!

After evolving into Charizard, Charizard spread its wings, and a strong burst of air exploded from around it.

Flying debris.

Ash sensed the powerful fire energy within Charizard's body!
