Chapter 1437: Invincible Defense

The power of this G-Max Wildfire was far greater than when he battled Diantha earlier.

Inside the arena, the flames, mixed with bursting sparks and high-temperature air waves, exploded upon landing, creating a shockwave of fire that spread in all directions.

As the arena vibrated violently, countless pieces of rubble were vaporized, mixing into the sky-filling flames to form a curtain-like heat flow that roared toward the sky, completely blowing away the ethereal white mist that had created the hail.

The audience's vision was completely obscured, leaving only the color of flames, which even the pale purple protective barrier couldn't cover.

Boom—!!

The deafening roar echoed through the arena. Terastallized Aggron was completely invisible, making people curious about its current state.

Could it be that the second Protect succeeded?

The host shouted: "Another G-Max Wildfire with superb power! What is the effect of this one?"

As the words fell.

The flames that were almost overflowing the arena slowly contracted. What appeared before everyone's eyes was the fire bird flying in mid-air and the tornado of fire trapping Terastallized Aggron within.

But it was worth noting that the Terastallized Aggron inside seemed to have brilliant radiance gradually lighting up on its body surface.

"Roar..."

It ignored the tornado of fire trapping it, took heavy steps, and crashed through the flames, as easily as breaking through a curtain of water.

The host exclaimed: "This is—Metal Burst!"

Thud!

Thud-thud!

With every step Terastallized Aggron took forward, the blinding silver-white metallic halo on its body surface brightened by a layer. The fire bird in mid-air seemed to have intelligence as it continued to entangle it, and the continuously released flames made that layer of silver-white metallic halo shine to a blinding degree.

Just like a shining sun!

"G—roar!!"

In an instant, the circular metallic shockwave exploded suddenly with Terastallized Aggron at the center. The silver-white energy light wave spread rapidly. Wherever it passed, the air vibrated violently, and the lava on the ground was also shaken into the air, forming a large-scale silver light shock domain!

The fire bird in mid-air bore the brunt and instantly annihilated and dissipated. The newly born wings of flame behind Gigantamax Charizard gathered, but were easily blown away by the silver light. The residual light waves struck it heavily, causing it to let out a muffled groan.

"Metal Burst hit! The power cannot be underestimated! It looks like Aggron also received not-insignificant damage!"

The host shouted loudly.

Metal Burst was a move that changed based on the damage received. Although it belonged to a second-degree reinforcement, one could see the whole from a glimpse and calculate the effect of G-Max Wildfire from this.

Leon looked at Terastallized Aggron in the distance through Gigantamax Charizard, saw the blue smoke curling from its body, and waved his hand to order: "Come on! The final G-Max Wildfire! Completely shatter its defense!"

Although it didn't create the effect of Sunny Day, Gigantamax Charizard's state was continuously rising, which also made the power of the moves increase layer by layer.

The Protect that couldn't be shattered the first time might not be the case the third time!

"Roar!!"

Gigantamax Charizard gathered all the flames in its body, gathering them all into the wings on its back. Following its roar, the fire vortex in its abdomen, reaching several thousand degrees, exploded completely. The firepower rose further, forming a red-black explosive flame full of destructive meaning.

Chirp!

The black-red fire bird hissed loudly, spread its wings and soared, then fell straight toward the center point of Aggron!

Rumble—!!

The thick, pillar-like torrent of fire rose up!

And what welcomed it was undoubtedly the spherical light shield propped up by Terastallized Aggron. When the fire bird fell, the light shield instantly erupted with blinding, explosive radiance. The barrier formed by hexagonal light waves vibrated violently under the impact of the flames, and the translucent patterns flickered with alternating light and dark.

Hum-hum-hum...

The light shield continuously rippled, but still held on tightly, resisting the impact of the flames, even though the third attack was far superior to the previous two.

Finally, at the last moment of the flame impact and licking, cracks finally appeared on the surface of the light shield.

The flames drilled in from there, applying to Terastallized Aggron's body.

Unfortunately, the magnitude was very small, simply because the hellish flames covering the sky had already slowly dissipated.

Sunlight shone directly onto the arena, and the residual high-temperature air rose and distorted, inexplicably making people feel suffocated.

The entire arena was filled with lava produced by high-temperature melting, flowing slowly and refusing to solidify, as if it were the aftermath of a volcanic eruption.

Exclamations were everywhere in the audience stands.

Logically speaking, only G-Max Guard could perfectly withstand Gigantamax moves, but Terastallized Aggron had done the same!

Leon saw the almost "unscathed" Terastallized Aggron and couldn't help but sigh, "What a tough Pokémon!"

"Aggron successfully withstood three G-Max Wildfires! What amazing defense!" The host praised from the bottom of his heart.

Few Trainers' Pokémon could withstand three of Leon's G-Max Wildfires, let alone using Protect to block them.

It was unbelievable!

The purple-red halo around Gigantamax Charizard began to slowly converge, its massive body gradually shrank, and its wings changed from flames back to normal flesh wings.

"Groar..."

It flapped its wings and hovered at a low altitude, looking at its opponent in the distance, its brow full of stern colors.

Gigantamax moves couldn't cause considerable damage to the opponent, so other moves...

It was dangerous!

Leon waved his hand to order: "Dragon Dance!"

"Groar!"

Charizard's wings flapped lightly, and a pale purple dragon-flame halo swirled around its body. Its body circled and flowed in the air, and every circle drove its momentum to climb step by step, its wings and body becoming more powerful.

Hum!

Orange-red light enveloped its body.

Correspondingly, the silver-white radiance on Terastallized Aggron's body surface also lit up again. On the basis of the crystal shining, its chest, abdomen, and even its whole body added a metallic luster, making it even more dazzling.

【Iron Defense】!

"Leon and All Baimu have both chosen buffing moves! A fierce battle is about to come!" The host shouted, attracting the expectant gazes of thousands of spectators.

Leon pointed forward: "Flamethrower!"

"Groar—"

Charizard's wings vibrated, and while approaching Terastallized Aggron at extreme speed, it took a deep breath. High-temperature flames surged deep in its chest, and a crimson pillar of fire erupted from its mouth!

Bang!

The thick torrent of flames carried a thousand-degree high temperature and washed straight across the ground. The air through which the flames flowed was instantly scorched and distorted, and the fine sand and dust were instantly burned to ash before they could even rise into the air!

All Baimu: "Stone Edge."

"Groar!"

Terastallized Aggron's heavy front limbs stomped on the ground fiercely. The ground where lava flowed vibrated suddenly, and countless giant rock blocks rose rapidly, arranged in a staggered manner to form a dense rock barrier, blocking the path of the Flamethrower.

Rumble!!

The crimson flames hit the rock layer, instantly erupting with deafening buzzing. The surface of the rock layer was scorched red and hot by the high-temperature flames, and the surface carbonized and disintegrated rapidly in the waves of fire.

However, Terastallized Aggron's attack didn't end. It saw it flick its tail fiercely, and the rock wall exploded, stirring up a large amount of rubble!

Sharp stones carried a massive impact, tearing through the flames and shooting straight at Charizard in mid-air!

Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh!

"Dodge!"

At Leon's command, Charizard flew up and circled away, avoiding the incoming rubble.

The acceleration effect of Dragon Dance was quite considerable.

And after it pulled away a distance, it looked down at Terastallized Aggron below, somewhat unexpected that its Flamethrower had been countered so easily.

The opponent's attack power was just as outstanding as its defense!

Leon was silent, but All Baimu took the initiative to launch an attack on Charizard for the first time.

"Double-Edge!"

"Groar!"

Terastallized Aggron pressed its body down, then exerted force fiercely. Its huge and hard figure rose from the ground, and a brown-yellow Rock-type energy halo swirled around it, forming a thick stream of light, making it fly toward Charizard in mid-air like a meteor!

Rumble—

The air was squeezed by its massive body, making a low roar.

Seeing this, Leon quickly said: "Flare Blitz to fly up and avoid it, then attack the back!"

"Roar!"

The flames around Charizard surged suddenly, its whole body completely wrapped in scorching waves of fire. With the lift of its wings, it suddenly raised its figure, avoiding the collision trajectory of Double-Edge like a burning fireball.

In an instant, it carried the flames and dived toward Terastallized Aggron, which couldn't fly like it and was forced to land.

Boom!

The flames flowed closely along Charizard's body, dragging a long red tail of fire in the dive trajectory. The impact of the collision and the scorching of the flames were superimposed!

Unexpectedly, the moment Terastallized Aggron landed, it erupted with powerful force again, causing itself to bounce a second time. Its body rotated incredibly, colliding fiercely with Charizard, which was breaking through the air!

Thud—!!

The scorching flames and the thick yellow light collided with each other. The powerful power acted on the two Pokémon in an instant. While the collision point exploded with massive shockwaves and smoke, it also sent the two Pokémon flying in different directions.

Terastallized Aggron landed, its massive body sliding back a meter, and two deep marks were plowed out of the lava under its feet.

In mid-air, Charizard flapped its wings continuously, quickly stabilizing its figure, barely preventing itself from falling from the sky.

"Roar..."

It spat out flames, its expression slightly ugly.

Compared to Terastallized Aggron, which didn't need to receive recoil effects due to the Rock Head ability, the damage of Flare Blitz to Charizard was undoubtedly much greater.

More importantly, the back attack didn't succeed. Terastallized Aggron could jump a second time after falling to the ground.

Improvisation? Premeditated?

Neither was a good thing for Leon and Charizard.

"Once is not enough, then do it again! Dragon Dance!"

"Groar!"

Charizard's wings vibrated and circled again, dragon flames surrounding its body, stimulating the potential of its flesh.

All Baimu: "Stone Edge!"

"Groar!"

Aggron stomped on the ground fiercely. Rock blocks even larger than before broke out of the ground from all over the arena, but this time they flew directly into the sky, rushing toward Charizard circling in mid-air like raindrops, forming a rock blockade net covering the entire airspace.

Leon: "Aim for the gaps in the rocks! Dodge!"

Charizard's wings flapped wildly, its body shifted and moved back and forth, and it even folded its wings to circle, relying on superb positioning to dodge most of the rocks.

But the number of Aggron's stones was greater than it had imagined, and some rocks still hit its body!

Bang!

Smoke and dust exploded, and Charizard's figure soon flew out from it, a look of pain flashing across its face.

Even if only a part of the four-times-effective Stone Edge hit, it still brought it not-insignificant damage, but for the battle-hardened Charizard, this wasn't a pain that was too hard to endure.

Hum!

Orange-red light shone, and its physical attack and speed were improved again.

All Baimu's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't seen Charizard's continuously increasing attack, his expression as calm as Terastallized Aggron's.

"Magnet Rise."

"Groar!"

Terastallized Aggron's eyes flickered, and it used this move, which it had finally learned not long ago and could be called an obsession.

Fist-sized electrons swirled around it, causing its body to lift off the ground.

The host exclaimed: "Aggron used Magnet Rise! It's flying just like Charizard!"

Wow!

Large exclamations arose from the audience stands.

Originally, Charizard relied on its flight advantage to suppress Terastallized Aggron from high to low.

Now both sides could fly!

Fortunately, Charizard was faster than Terastallized Aggron.

Leon looked at this scene, feeling unbelievable, and the smile at the corner of his mouth also expanded. "That's right, that's it! We're about there too! Charizard!"

"Roar!"

Charizard roared in response. After grinding with Terastallized Aggron until now, the gradually decreasing physical strength finally allowed it to reach that limit!

In an instant.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, flames suddenly began to surge on its body surface, and a layer of scorching dark red halo suddenly erupted around it!

"Blaze! Blaze has been triggered!"

Leon's Charizard's ability was Blaze, which triggered when physical strength decreased to a certain level, causing the power of flames to grow crazily!

He gripped his right fist, and Charizard's eyes shone. The two seemed to have returned to the arena where he won the Galar Champion title, the same crisis, the same strong enemy. A different emotion deep in his heart made their spiritual connection.

Boom-thud!

Boom-thud!

Leon and Charizard could hear each other's heartbeats, achieving the bond-resonance state called "resonance" by Juan!

Facing the desperate situation where Terastallized Aggron was pressing step by step, what All Baimu worried about naturally appeared!

"Roar!!!"

Charizard roared to the sky. The already hot flames surged and rose again, a violent aura swirled around it, and its slightly tired posture was replaced by ultimate explosive power, its eyes shining with sharp light.

"Flamethrower!"

"Double-Edge!"

Whoosh!

Charizard frantically spat out a torrent of flames far exceeding the ordinary. The flame temperature under the blessing of resonance soared again. The crimson fire pillar was condensed and thick, carrying extremely strong penetrating power and roaring toward Terastallized Aggron, which was rushing over like a meteor!

Rumble-rumble-rumble—!!

The mid-air continuously emitted terrible roars like thunder, the air waves raised by the flame impact surged in all directions, the pitch-black ground cracked again, and the fine rock and soil debris continuously carbonized and disintegrated. ===== CHAPTER 1438 =====
