Chapter 55: Black Satoshi Captures the Fossil Wing Dragon

Fire Dragon, go!

Ash stared straight ahead, and the aura power on his body resonated with the fire energy on Fire Dragon's body.

Flamethrower!

Gradually, he felt a fiery energy also rising within himself, and his aura power became agitated.

Roar!

Fire Dragon's tail flicked, slamming into the ground, and instantly gathered a ball of searing flame that raised the surrounding temperature.

The fireball-like flamethrower shot straight at the Fossil Wing Dragon.

Roar! The Fossil Wing Dragon was blown back by the flamethrower, flames scattering, its body slammed into a stone pillar behind; although fire-type moves are usually not very effective against rock types, now they were unusually effective against the Fossil Wing Dragon, which let out a painful roar.

The Fossil Wing Dragon blocked the flames with its wings, then forcefully deflected the flamethrower and lunged at Fire Dragon.

Fire Dragon also took to the air to battle the Fossil Wing Dragon.

Bang bang bang!

A series of dull impact sounds kept ringing out.

Use Cleave to smash the rocks!

Ash shouted, feeling Fire Dragon's battle situation as if he were Fire Dragon himself, able to see the Fossil Wing Dragon constantly clashing with him before his eyes.

But what went unnoticed was that a faint blue light also became visible on his body.

On Fire Dragon's body, an orange-red light appeared.

He spread his claws, and a silvery-white light clung to them, forcefully shattering the rocks.

The Fossil Wing Dragon closely followed behind the rocks, used Iron Head, and flapped its wings to rush at Fire Dragon.

Fire Dragon used Cleave to block the Fossil Wing Dragon, and now neither side yields.

What is this?

Ash looked at Fire Dragon in amazement, then shouted in agreement: 'Let's give it one final move, Dragon Claw!'

As his words fell, a flash of fiery red crossed Fire Dragon's eyes; the silvery-white light on its claws turned light green, and even grew into larger claws.

Fire Dragon struck the Fossil Wing Dragon's head with one claw, sending it flying.

Bang!

The Fossil Wing Dragon flew out with a bang, slid across the ground for a distance, and finally slammed into the wall, leaving several cracks behind.

Great job, Fire Dragon, you're so strong!

Ash rushed over and hugged Fire Dragon; just now he had a feeling, as if he were battling alongside Fire Dragon, able to feel its injuries.

Pika!

Pikachu jumped onto Fire Dragon's shoulder.

Fire Dragon also showed a proud smile.

How strong, Fire Dragon!

Team Rocket, hiding behind the rocks to watch the show, saw Fire Dragon's earlier performance, feeling extremely shocked; with this Fire Dragon trick, capturing Pikachu would be even harder for them!

Originally Pikachu was already hard enough to catch, now adding such a strong Fire Dragon is practically a death sentence for them!

But seeing those brat's Pokémon getting stronger and stronger, having collected so many badges, they still have some merit!

【Xia Bo: Black Satoshi's Fire Dragon is different from Bai Ash's; its size and aura are vastly different, and most importantly, it's very obedient.】

【Ai Lan: The Fire Dragon of Black World is indeed strong-looking; just now its performance completely overwhelmed the Fossil Wing Dragon, having mastered Dragon Claw, it seems they really haven't spared effort in training.】

【Dandi: So that trainer who abandoned Charmander really doesn't know good stuff; the potential of Poké Ball is needed to be developed, it can't burst forth instantly; now Black Satoshi's trained Little Fire Dragons have all evolved into Fire Dragons, truly seeing them grow stronger step by step.】

【Ash: Black Satoshi's Fire Dragon is bigger than my Fire Dragon right after evolution; likely Black Satoshi has been raising Charmander all along, and the Charmander also works hard, training together with Pikachu and the others.】

【Professor Daimu: Heaven rewards diligence; they've worked so long, it's time to reap the rewards!】

【Nazi: The blue light that appeared on Black Satoshi's body just now is aura power, right?】

【Yaxuan: Yes...】

Yaxuan now wants to learn from Black Satoshi, see what Black Satoshi practices every day, and he too wants to practice that way; although his aura talent doesn't match Black Satoshi's, by putting in effort, at least the gap won't widen too much.

Roar!

The Fossil Wing Dragon struggled to stand, gesturing for Fire Dragon to continue fighting.

Fire Dragon locked eyes with it, seeing the Fossil Wing Dragon's unwillingness in its gaze.

Fossil Wing Dragon, do you really want to fight Fire Dragon?

Ash looked at the Fossil Wing Dragon, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.

Join us, then you can often spar with Fire Dragon.

The Fossil Wing Dragon didn't speak; Ash took it as consent, threw the ball and captured it.

Leave those to Professor Daimu.

Ash wanted to contact Professor Daimu, so that Professor Daimu and the Alliance officials could come take care of the fossil Poké Ball.

Seeing Ash capture the Fossil Wing Dragon, Team Rocket wanted to seize the chance to snatch Pikachu, but were caught by Fire Dragon and blasted away.

But this time it was Fire Dragon that blasted them, and they got to taste the flavor of flamethrower for once.

Ash saw a Spirit Egg, sensed life fluctuations inside, examined it, and found it wasn't a fossil Poké Ball Spirit Egg, so he decided to take it away to hatch!

After heading outside, Ash appeared before Xiaoxia and Brock.

They all looked surprised at Fire Dragon; after going down, a Fire Dragon would evolve!

Miss Junsha received the crowd's message, already rushed over, and Ash also used the phone to tell Professor Daimu the situation here.

Soon after, Big Stupid Valley was designated a protected area by the Alliance's relevant members; those who came to dig up fossils could only leave.

Ash and his party also resumed their journey toward the Crimson Lotus Gym.

【Xiba: Speed is really fast! Hope those fossil Poké Balls below can find a stable living environment!】

【Damu Boshi: Don't worry, I've already arrived at the scene; this place has been surrounded, no one else is allowed to enter.】

【Yulongdu: Trouble, Damu Boshi!】

【Xiaomao: The Fossil Wing Dragon and Spirit Egg were just taken away by Black Satoshi; then, as me in the Black World, wouldn't I be doomed!】

【Ash: It doesn't matter; anyway, you can't beat me either—what are you worrying about?】

【Jiadelya: Is that Spirit Egg a Fossil Poké Ball? I feel the pattern doesn't look like it.】

【Xiaoxia: It's not a Fossil Poké Ball; it's a very cute Poké Ball.】

「Cute, Celebi is indeed very cute! 」

Yinghua nodded in agreement.

「Psyduck! 」

Psyduck turned its head to look at Xiaoxia, asking, "Cute, are you talking about me?"

Thinking about it, Psyduck's face turned red.

「Narcissistic again! 」 Xiaoxia was somewhat speechless.

Changpu watched the Psyduck using a swim ring to assist swimming, felt amused, and Xiaoxia's captured Poké Ball is truly special.

Although it's a Water-type Poké Ball, it can't swim; even the move Water Gun took a lot of learning to master.

However, Psyduck's special trait is impressive; its psychic power is strong, and if trained, it could become a mainstay defender of the Gym.
