Chapter 133

Poppop~

When Charizard questioned whether the battle was fair,

On the other side, the blue-and-white penguin Popplio also curiously sized up the outside situation.

Upon seeing Ash, Popplio first showed a happy expression.

Waving its little short arms, it was about to run over and snuggle up to Ash.

Immediately afterwards, as if recalling something, it looked left and right suspiciously, especially being extra wary of the sky.

Seeing Popplio so suspicious,

Everyone was dumbfounded,

Only Ash, Brock, Pikachu, and Team Rocket were all amused by Popplio's PTSD reaction.

Recalling the time during the Sinnoh journey,

When Ash's Garchomp had just learned Meteor Shower (Heavenly Dragon Meteor),

Back then, no matter where Popplio was, as soon as Garchomp used Meteor Shower, it would definitely hit Popplio.

The unlucky one often quarreled with Garchomp over this.

Later, after Popplio got lost, Ash and Brock even used Garchomp's Meteor Shower as a homing missile to find the blown-away Popplio on the ground.

Who would have thought that several years have passed since then,

Popplio's impression remains so deep that it probably has psychological trauma.

"Hahaha, don't worry, Popplio, Garchomp has evolved and isn't even here."

"Pika-pika~"

Pikachu also acted like an older brother, came up to Popplio, stretched out its little short arms and patted Popplio's shoulder to comfort it.

But Popplio shoved it away without any appreciation.

"Poppop~" I'm not scared of him.

"Pikapi~" Oh yeah yeah yeah~

"Poppop!"

Guilty Popplio didn't dwell on this matter, quickly turning its gaze to the opponent.

Sliggoo, Porygon-Z, Charizard,

It actively went up against Clemont's Charizard, and then ended up being chased and burned on the tail by Clemont's Charizard flying in the air.

"Poppoppoppop~"

Although Popplio is a Water-type Pokémon and uses the powerful Water Cannon, its level is only 70,

while Clemont's Charizard's level has risen to 84,

Although the difference is only 14 levels, the numerical gap per level becomes especially huge in the later stages.

Furthermore, Popplio is still in its baby form, with limited base stats,

naturally it is no match for the opponent.

The reckless adventurer was zigzagging across the beach, running around wildly.

"Roar!" How absurd!

Tierno's Charizard naturally could not stand idly by, flapped its wings and flew into the air to charge at Clemont's Charizard.

Tierno raised his Fair Skin jade arm high, his finger touching the Key Stone.

Dazzling light burst forth,

"Super Evolve, Charizard! Hot Wind!"

Clemont was stunned, "What?"

Soon, bathed in seven-colored light, Mega Charizard Y appeared.

The weather above the beach was instantly covered by the scorching sun, intense light baking it, raising the temperature on the beach considerably.

Scorching flames surged out, wrapping around Mega Charizard Y's wings,

Clemont was just about to super evolve,

As a result, he saw Charizard basking in the hot wind, unscathed,

"This..."

Soon,

a scene that no one present expected unfolded,

Charizard chased after Mega Charizard Y carrying Popplio on its back, unleashing a furious barrage,

"Clearly it's a Mega Evolution, yet it's completely at a disadvantage..."

"This..."

Everyone, including Serena and Yurie, was dumbfounded,

Meanwhile, the detail-oriented Clemont was not at all surprised,

"Based on Clemont's displayed strength at the Battle Castle last time, this scene was to be expected..."

Just as everyone was sighing,

Charizard, already fully aware that the opponent was a weakling, silently sped up,

Mega Charizard Y's body was hit, it let out a miserable cry, seemingly in dire straits,

And this wail finally woke up Pikachu, who had been frightened silly by two unreliable teammates,

At the same time, Ash's command arrived as promised,

"Pikachu, Iron Tail!"

"Pika-pika~"

Pikachu, having regained consciousness, sprang into action immediately,

anticipating the flight paths of the two Charizard, it made a preemptive judgment and charged toward the Charizard.

Facing Ash, even though the opponent was Pikachu, Alan did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

"Answer my heart, Key Stone! Super Evolution surpassing Evolution!!!"

Fingers pressed against the surface of the Key Stone,

dazzling light burst forth, enveloping the Charizard's body,

"Roar!"

Within the light, the Charizard's orange body was replaced by a gray-blue hue; though its size did not increase,

it became more 'robust', appearing as if it had gone from 0 to o, gaining a full circle of bulk.

From excelling in long-range special attacks, it instantly shifted to mastering both physical and special, excelling at close and far range!

"Use Dragon Claw!"

Wrapped in seven-colored light, Mega Charizard X clenched flames in its mouth, its right claw attaching dark-purple energy and extending out.

The massive Dragon Claw collided with the tiny electric mouse's tail, creating a huge contrast.

"Mega Charizard X is so cool!"

"Using Steel-type attacks on a Fire-type Charizard?"

"Isn't Steel-type resisted?"

"No, how did you think of that?"

"I think just sending out Pikachu to fight is already absurd."

At the very moment everyone was doubting Ash's command, a scene appeared before their eyes that instantly made them all silently close their mouths.

Only seen, the tiny electric mouse's tail collided with the huge Dragon Claw; contrary to everyone's expectation of the electric mouse being blown away, it landed safely and steadily.

Instead, the Charizard, appearing bulky and muscular, was struck as if hit by a speeding truck, flying straight backward.

It was even knocked into a Mega Evolution state by a single move.

With the power of a Level 2 God, combined with the double attack from the Electric Ball, partner Pikachu's 160 and 150 burst double attack left no suspense in this match.

Even though Goodra and the Mystic Fairy-type Space possessed Champion-level early strength, they could not reverse the battle.

The Mystic Fairy-type Space was instantly KO'd by 100,000 Volts!

Goodra relied on Dragon-type resistance to Electric-type, plus its high base Special Defense of 150 and Champion-level early strength,

barely withstanding a single 100,000 Volts.

But that was all; even if it endured, it was merely a candle in the wind,

and was easily taken down by Pikachu's follow-up 100,000 Volts.

A three-hit combo,

The entire battle's command was so easy that even the spectators watching could confidently pat their chests and say, "With this Pikachu, I could go up and do it too!"

It also let the struggling Mega Charizard Y and Bagon raise their heads proudly.

"Bagon Bagon~" We three are truly strong!

"Roar Roar Roar~" We three are wildly unstoppable!

"Pika Pika~" I handle the wild slaughter, you handle the roaring, right?

Pikachu gave a disdainful white-eye glance, walked up to everyone, raised its arms to show off its muscles, the two goofballs.

Looking at the three opponents knocked out and unable to battle,

it excitedly ran back to Ash's side, asking for a ruffle~

"Pikapi~"
