Chapter 193

Huo La's gaze swept across the battlefield. When he saw the Gyarados that Kojiro had released, he couldn't help but feel a bit surprised—evidently, the other party had listened to the suggestion he had made back on the Saint Tenu and kept the Magikarp.

As soon as this Gyarados appeared, it opened its massive maw and let out a deafening roar, full of intimidation.

In the current situation where Fossil Pokémon were swarming, the Water and Flying-type Gyarados was undoubtedly a powerful combat force with significant weight.

Huo La quickly pulled his thoughts back, scanned all the Pokémon present, and made a rapid deployment: "Xiao Mao, Ash, leave the three Aerodactyls to the three of us!"

"You got it!" Ash responded immediately and ordered without hesitation, "Charmeleon, go!"

Charmeleon's body ignited with raging flames, and it tilted its head back, letting out a provocative hiss at the Aerodactyls on the stone platform.

"Heh, you dare to order this young master around?" Xiao Mao sneered, his tone still carrying his habitual disdain, but his eyes had become sharp. "However, considering the current situation, I won't bicker with you."

Before his words had even faded, the Blastoise in front of him aimed its two cannons at one of the Aerodactyls on the platform, standing by at any moment.

"Bilan, Lilian, Xiao Xia, leave the Kabuto and Omanyte on the ground to you!" Huo La quickly divided the tasks, and before he finished speaking, he gripped his Poké Ball and ordered, "Kingler, use Water Cannon!"

Kingler stepped forward in response, its two pincers snapping shut violently, and a high-pressure water cannon as thick as a bowl whistled out, shooting straight toward an Aerodactyl on the stone platform that was about to dive, creating a significant impact amidst the splashing water.

"Charmeleon, use Dragon Claw!" Ash shouted right after. Charmeleon's flames surged, its sharp Dragon Claws gleaming with a cold light as it pounced toward another Aerodactyl.

At the same time, Xiao Mao's command also rang out: "Blastoise, Rain Dance!"

Dark clouds gathered over the ruins in an instant, and fine rain poured down, shrouding the entire battlefield in a moist atmosphere.

Huo La caught a glimpse of this scene and immediately had the answer in his heart—without looking at the attribute panel, he knew that the ability of Xiao Mao's Blastoise was "Rain Dish."

Rain Dance was undoubtedly an excellent support; it could not only significantly increase the power of Water-type moves but also weaken the Rock-type attacks of the Aerodactyls, providing a great boost to the overall battle situation.

But Huo La still shook his head: this was a help to others, but for the type-disadvantage master Ash, the difficulty would skyrocket—Charmeleon's Fire-type moves would be greatly discounted in the rain, and in this battle, Ash would likely have to rely on raw strength to fight hard.

Under the shroud of the Rain Dance skill, the Water-type Pokémon on the battlefield instantly felt like they had been injected with adrenaline, their auras surging.

The Aerodactyl hit head-on by Kingler's Water Cannon had large splashes of water hitting its wings, and it was clearly injured quite badly.

But the intense pain also ignited its bloodthirsty wild nature. Its huge figure dived down violently, opening its maw filled with sharp teeth, and charged straight at Kingler to bite.

"Kingler, Shell Blade, hold it off!"

Kingler's two pincers lit up with pale blue shell-shaped water blades, crossing in front of its chest like shells, and it held them up fiercely against the Aerodactyl's bite.

With a crisp "clang," the sharp teeth collided with the water blades. The Aerodactyl couldn't hold its ground and was knocked directly backward. After stabilizing its figure, it let out a hiss, and dozens of floating rocks instantly appeared around its body.

"Ancient Power, huh!" Huo La narrowed his eyes, his peripheral vision catching a glimpse of Ash's side—the battle between Charmeleon and another Aerodactyl was completely one-sided. Charmeleon was being slapped back repeatedly by the opponent's sharp claws, Ash was shouting anxiously on the side, and Charmeleon was also becoming extremely agitated.

"No time to worry about Ash." Huo La steadied his mind and immediately ordered, "Kingler, use Protect!"

A pale purple arc shield appeared around Kingler's body. The floating rocks controlled by the Aerodactyl hit the shield one after another, stirring up layers of ripples, but they could never break through the defense.

Just then, Xiao Mao's voice rang out with a bit of impatience: "What's the use of light defense? Defeat it directly! Blastoise, Surf!"

Two splashes of water sprayed from Blastoise's cannons, quickly gathering into a huge wave in the air, which slapped toward the Aerodactyl opposite with the momentum of thunder.

But that Aerodactyl reacted extremely quickly. While rotating sideways, its sharp Dragon Claws slashed fiercely at the crest of the wave, actually tearing a hole directly through the whistling water.

"What a powerful Dragon Claw!" A trace of shock flashed in Xiao Mao's eyes, and he immediately adjusted his command: "Blastoise, Zen Headbutt!"

Blastoise's massive body suddenly exerted force, charging out like a cannonball, its round head accurately hitting the Aerodactyl's abdomen.

The Aerodactyl let out a painful cry, was knocked flying fiercely, and hit the rock wall, causing a large amount of rubble to fall.

"Charmeleon, we can't lose to Huo La and Xiao Mao!" Ash's shout carried unwillingness.

"Char~~~" Charmeleon tilted its head back and hissed, its gaze sweeping over the increasingly brave Blastoise and Kingler, and then looking at the disdainful Aerodactyl opposite, raging flames burning in its eyes.

Its body suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light, its size grew rapidly in the light, and a pair of huge wings spread out on its back. The original Charmeleon had evolved into a majestic Charizard!

"Chariz..." Before Ash could finish his command, Charizard had already turned into an orange-red lightning bolt and rushed out. Dragon Claw and Flamethrower fell one after another, instantly pinning that Aerodactyl to the ground and wrestling with it, its fierce offensive completely lacking any rules.

Huo La shook his head helplessly—sure enough, Ash's Charizard was unwilling to admit defeat but also wouldn't listen to commands.

But now was not the time to complain. Xiao Mao's Blastoise had already severely injured its opponent, and Charizard was crushing the other side with brute force. Victory was only a matter of time, so there was no need for him to waste any more energy.

"Kingler, Whirlpool, trap it!" Kingler's two pincers closed together, shooting out a water column. The water column expanded rapidly in the air, turning into a rotating water vortex, trapping the still-struggling Aerodactyl firmly in the center.

"Now, Hyper Beam!" Kingler tilted its head back to accumulate power, and a thick beam containing a destructive aura gushed out, accurately hitting the trapped Aerodactyl.

The huge impact knocked it fiercely against the rock wall, stone chips flew, and the Aerodactyl struggled twice before losing its combat ability.

Huo La seized the opportunity and quickly took out an empty Poké Ball and threw it over—he clearly didn't intend to let go of this powerful ancient Pokémon, and his intention to capture it couldn't be more obvious.

The Poké Ball drew an arc in the air and accurately hit the Aerodactyl's body. A red light flashed, taking it inside.

The Poké Ball bounced gently on the ground three times, finally stopping steadily, the red light on the top went out, and the capture was successful!

Just when Huo La breathed a sigh of relief, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Mao also taking out a Poké Ball, clearly having the same idea as him, wanting to capture an Aerodactyl.
