Chapter 1400

Cinderace single-handedly managed to take down two of Diantha's Pokémon.

It must be said.

It successfully earned Leon's face back.

Whether it was the cheers from the arena or the posts and messages about him on the internet, they all invisibly verified one thing—

The World Monarch is indeed the Monarch!

An Xin'er nervously grabbed All Baimu's arm, "Uncle..."

"Trust your aunt!"

He gently patted the back of An Xin'er's hand, his gaze fixed on Diantha below; any extra means must be built on a foundation of strength.

Regrettably, despite Leon being the Champion of the eighth generation, his strength in the actual anime background is higher than the Champions of other regions.

This gap was particularly evident in the current battle; Tyrantrum and Hawlucha went through great trouble, yet could only beat Cinderace into a heavily injured state, struggling to completely take down this Pokémon.

All Baimu believed that if it were a six-on-six, Cinderace could likely take down another one, or even two!

Right now... the match has entered its final phase.

Leon recalled Cinderace, clearly intending to send out his true ace to face Diantha's ace.

This undoubtedly met the latter's expectations.

Diantha adjusted her state and threw a Poké Ball onto the field, "I leave it to you!"

Bang!

A flash of light passed.

The elegant and composed Mega Gardevoir landed on the field once again, carrying Diantha's infinite expectations for it.

At the same time, Leon threw his ball forward, "Go! Charizard!"

"Oh!!"

Amidst a high-pitched roar, the World Monarch's ace Charizard descended onto the field, its massive figure far exceeding its peers, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

He looked at the Mega Gardevoir opposite him and raised his left hand without any hesitation!

"Come on! Champion Time!"

Whoosh!

Excited screams erupted from the audience.

Champion Time meant that the thing they had been longing for was about to arrive.

The supreme! The invincible! The unparalleled—

Gigantamax Charizard!!

As he recalled his ace into the Poké Ball, the Dynamax Band on Leon's wrist overflowed with purple light, instantly multiplying and enlarging it!

He threw it forcefully into the air.

"Gigantamax!"

Bang!

The giant Poké Ball opened, and rolling heat waves swept across the entire arena, the air distorted into hazy heat waves by the high temperature.

The clear sky was once again covered by dark clouds, its wings turned into raging flames, and Gigantamax Charizard, with flames constantly pouring out from its mouth and dragon horns, descended!

"Roar——!!"

The sound was like thunder, triggering the protective devices in the audience area.

Its feet stepped on the ground, countless loose stones flew up, and the ground showed signs of collapsing.

This is Leon's Gigantamax Charizard, the strongest Charizard in history with an undefeated record to date!

Diantha and Mega Gardevoir wore serious and wary expressions.

This was not their first time battling Leon's Gigantamax Charizard; they had already had contact during the ranking phase, but it had ended in defeat every time.

But this time, they must win!

Diantha gripped the Key Stone on her chest, her gaze glancing toward the player preparation room far away, unwilling to lose in front of her daughter.

"Don't be afraid! Go! Thunderbolt!"

Offense is always the best defense; based on previous experiences battling Gigantamax Charizard, Diantha deeply realized that no defense could withstand the opponent's attacks.

"Gardevoir!"

Mega Gardevoir launched the attack first, bright yellow electricity rapidly condensing around its body, the current continuously winding and compressing along its limbs, and the crackling electric light gathered into a dazzling ball of light in front of it.

The next second, a thick, pillar-like current was fired, the thunderbolt cutting through the air, carrying a straight and violent trajectory, directly striking the roaring Gigantamax Charizard!

Boom!!

A deafening explosion echoed throughout the arena!

The thunderbolt had clearly hit the massive target in front, the shining white light exploded, and dense currents crazily spread along Gigantamax Charizard's body, electric arcs darting everywhere between every inch of its skin!

"Roar!!"

Gigantamax Charizard's figure, like a tall building, tilted slightly backward, deep gullies were ground out by the force of its giant feet sliding backward, and a large cloud of dust was stirred up at the same time.

However, the effect was not as good as Diantha had imagined.

Gigantamax not only granted the Pokémon three moves with supreme power, but also doubled its stamina, enough to withstand attacks it couldn't withstand in the past!

Not to mention this was Leon's Gigantamax Charizard!

Just like Alain's Charizard in XY, no matter how powerful you are, or if it's double or quadruple effective, if it says it can resist, it can resist!

At this moment, the host was still praising Mega Gardevoir's attack performance, unaware that this move had not caused much damage.

Leon clenched his fist confidently and shouted: "G-Max Wildfire!"

"Roar!!"

Gigantamax Charizard roared at the sky, and as it suddenly flew up, the prismatic fragments on its abdomen suddenly lit up, flames crazily compressed and rolled within its body, the surrounding air was sucked into its abdomen, the temperature climbed sharply, and the surrounding sand and stones were baked slightly red by the heat wave.

Rumble...

A terrifying sound echoed in the arena, the protective devices did not dim throughout, as if resisting some invisible power.

Finally, all the energy condensed on the pair of wings on its back that were burning with raging flames!

It shook and rose violently!

The flame structure began to peel off and reshape, the entire flame wing detached from its body, condensed and took shape in mid-air, turning into a giant fire bird composed entirely of crimson flames.

Woo!!

The giant fire bird flapped its wide wings, emitting a sharp cry formed after the flames rubbed against the air, its body wrapped in spiral fire patterns, rushing straight toward Mega Gardevoir!

"Gardevoir!?"

Mega Gardevoir subconsciously drove its psychic power to block, but who knew the giant fire bird didn't hit it directly, but kept circling around it.

Then the spiral flame vortex rose high with the flying of the fire bird, the fire waves surged layer by layer, completely trapping Mega Gardevoir in the center of the fire vortex!

Whoosh!!

The flame vortex rotated at high speed, the internal temperature climbed to the extreme, the air was burned and violently distorted, and the tongues of fire continuously whipped and eroded the barrier created by Mega Gardevoir.

The high temperature permeated in strands, causing Mega Gardevoir's figure to tremble slightly.

Mega Gardevoir's body couldn't help but slowly fly up.

Diantha was not surprised by this, she bit her lower lip tightly, making a sound completely drowned out by the rumbling explosion.

"Psychic! Control it!"

"Gar——de——voir——!!"

Mega Gardevoir's powerful psychic power was fully driven, the heart on its chest shining like a star, a powerful force capable of distorting reality, gradually gaining control of this 【G-Max Wildfire】 that represented the opponent's full strength.

It waved its hand violently, and the giant fire bird flew back toward Gigantamax Charizard with a sharp cry!

Seeing the skill being stolen, Leon smiled slightly, his voice steady and unhurried, "Max Airstream!"

What is Champion Time?

It is his personal performance time!

Even if Diantha and Mega Gardevoir used every means, they would not be his opponents!

"Roar!!"

Gigantamax Charizard's wings flapped violently, opening its huge mouth to inhale sharply, causing countless milky white air currents to swirl into its mouth.

Instead, it released a terrifying hurricane toward the incoming giant fire bird!

In an instant.

The tornado hurricane collided with the giant fire bird shrouded in glowing blue brilliance!

Boom——!!

Bright light instantly swallowed the center of the entire arena, the explosion shockwave swept in all directions, the already dilapidated ground collapsed in large areas at this moment, broken stones were rolled into the high sky by the air waves and then crushed, wild winds and heat waves surged outward layer by layer, and the two extreme forces fell into a fierce stalemate.

But the two Pokémon that had unleashed their full strength were still outputting continuously!

"Roar!!"

At the moment of energy counter-impact, Gigantamax Charizard exerted force again, the hurricane faintly suppressing the giant fire bird.

How could Diantha let Leon get his way, thinking of the persistence along the way, thinking of An Xin'er's gaze, thinking of everything she learned from All Baimu.

"Go! Defeat it!"

She shouted loudly, and Mega Gardevoir, with whom she shared a heart, also screamed.

The majestic psychic power drove the giant fire bird to suddenly crush the hurricane roaring from the front, and then it seemed to absorb its power, causing the storm to linger on its wings.

"Chirp——!!"

The fire bird's cry resounded through the universe.

Leon laughed loudly and shouted without fear: "One more shot! G-Max Wildfire!"

"Roar!!"

Gigantamax Charizard, whose speed had increased, roared in response, unsparingly offering its third Gigantamax move!

This time, its whole body bloomed with scorching brilliance, the flame wings on its back were completely liberated, the flames surged into the sky, and once again condensed into a giant fire bird with a larger size and more violent flames!

"Chirp!!"

The giant birds formed by flames released terrifying high temperatures, the lamp covers on the dome shattered one by one, and the base was also melted by the terrifying high temperature.

Even more exaggeratedly, the curved giant metal rods were also baked to release crimson brilliance!

The terrifying high temperature continued to linger in the huge arena, shocking the eyes of all spectators!

They couldn't believe that just in the first round of the competition, the two had given them such a visually impactful scene, simply more enjoyable than watching a sci-fi blockbuster!

And what made all the audience tremble was that when the two giant fire birds flapped their wings and dived, the moment they collided, the fire bird that fused psychic power, flames, and hurricanes seemed unable to withstand a single blow in front of the flames released by Gigantamax Charizard and was crushed in the blink of an eye!

Diantha and Mega Gardevoir both had their pupils shake violently, how could this be!

"Chirp——!!"

The giant fire bird that pierced through its "peer" flew downward fiercely, rushing straight toward Mega Gardevoir, who was quickly blocking with psychic power!

Boom!!

A giant pillar of fire that reached the sky suddenly rose, then transformed into a scorching flame storm, pouring high temperature and impact force onto Mega Gardevoir at the same time, continuously devouring its psychic power.

Faced with such a powerful attack, the psychic power was like a fragile protective film, like plastic wrap brushed by flames, gradually revealing holes one after another.

Finally, Mega Gardevoir's body was rolled into mid-air, painfully burned by the flame tornado!

"Gardevoir!!"

Diantha ignored the heat flames, shouting and looking directly at her partner, "You can do it! Hold on!"

"Gar……de……voir……"

The pain of the flame burning made Mega Gardevoir almost unable to hold on, but the heart of the close partner in its heart kept its consciousness clear.

No!

Cannot fall!

Mega Gardevoir tried hard to adjust its psychic power to resist the invasion of G-Max Wildfire.

Leon in the distance saw this and said with slight surprise: "What a powerful will!"

In front of him, Charizard had already returned to its normal size.

After using the three Dynamax moves, it naturally lifted its Gigantamax state.

Finally, the tornado extinguished.

But the fire bird did not dissipate because of this, it flew into the air and circled, ready to dive toward Mega Gardevoir at any time to launch subsequent invasions.

This is 【G-Max Wildfire】, by no means a one-time attack, but multiple fierce attacks!

However, Leon wouldn't give Mega Gardevoir this chance.

"Rush over! Iron Tail!"

Almost the moment the flame tornado dissipated, Charizard, relying on the speed increased by Max Airstream, showed exaggerated mobility.

Compared to Hawlucha, who could only tie with Cinderace after two Max Airstreams, its speed increase could be said to be obvious!

Diantha shouted: "Psychic!"

"Gardevoir!"

Mega Gardevoir endured the pain all over its body and manipulated psychic power to block Charizard's attack.

However, the gap between the two sides was too large.

Not just now, the foundation of the two Pokémon was far apart!

In the blink of an eye, Charizard had arrived in front of Mega Gardevoir, and faced with the psychic power it released, it twisted its body without fear!

The long tail burning with flames suddenly turned into the luster of metal, fiercely hitting the psychic power released by the opponent!

Bang!

A sound like glass shattering came from the air, and the Psychic was pierced through!

Along with this tail whip, it hit Mega Gardevoir's body, the terrifying force directly knocking it out of the arena.

The giant fire bird circling in the sky waited for an opportunity, flying quickly toward Mega Gardevoir.

Leon pointed far away at his opponent, "This is the final blow!"

Boom!!

Flames soared into the sky!

Although Diantha kept calling Mega Gardevoir in her heart, faced with Charizard's continuous fierce attacks, it ultimately didn't have such a powerful parrying ability.

When the flames extinguished, Mega Gardevoir turned back into its original appearance.

"Gar……de……voir……"

Black swirls appeared on Gardevoir's face.

Diantha suddenly fell into silence.

Charizard flapped its wings and flew back in front of Leon, tilting its head and nodding slightly at him.

"Oh!"

"Well done!"

Leon nodded in appreciation.

In the audience, Hop and Ash jumped up together!

"Big brother won! Big brother is so strong!"

"Mr. Leon is too amazing! G-Max Wildfire! Really strong! So looking forward to it! Too amazing!"

Ash fell into the cycle of "so amazing" again.

No way, Charizard's performance was really too outstanding; after entering the field, except for the initial Thunderbolt, it kept suppressing Diantha's Mega Gardevoir.

Especially using G-Max Wildfire to restrain G-Max Wildfire, it was crushed in one go!

How shocking!

"Perhaps, this is pure strength."

All Baimu stroked An Xin'er's head, the latter had already shed large tears, Diantha lost the match, and she was sadder than anyone.

But soon she stopped her tears, because An Xin'er knew Diantha would only be sadder than her.
