Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The second sprite to appear was a crow.

Its neat, glossy black feathers indicate it's another Elite Four level Pokémon.

Xia Yan grinned.

His eyes were half-closed.

"Not enough!"

"you!"

Athena glared at Xia Yan.

Two streams of scorching white breath came out of the fire-breathing dragon's nose, as if it agreed with Xia Yan's words.

Athena took a deep breath and her face darkened.

But she no longer acted arrogantly.

Throw out the third Poké Ball.

"Weavile!" Appearing on the scene is a Weavile.

The three Dark-type Pokémon represent the evil army of Team Rocket, which is under Athena's command.

Upon seeing the three Elite Four level Pokémon, Charizard finally revealed a serious and solemn expression, with flames blazing in its eyes.

After summoning the three spirits, Athena no longer hesitated.

With a wave of his hand.

"Raven, Tailwind! Houndoom, Thunder Fang! Weavile, Ice Beam!"

All three spirits appeared together.

The crows stirred up a gust of air, circling around the three elves and reducing air resistance for them.

Houndoom charged again, its teeth crackling with wispy lightning, golden light accompanied by a low, leaping hum.

Weavile's movements became even more agile, and it disappeared from Charizard's sight in a few flashes.

A chilling beam of light struck from behind the Charizard.

"Dance of the Dragon!"

Xia Yan calmed himself down and tried to influence Charizard's state with his own.

however.

It turns out.

It's he who thinks too much.

There was absolutely no chemistry between Charizard and him, and he couldn't influence Charizard's mindset in the same way he influenced his own Pokémon.

but.

Charizard's strength is indeed superior to these three Pokémon.

Flying with a special rhythm, accompanied by a rapid increase in momentum and agility.

Charizard dodged Weavile's Ice Beam in mid-air and charged straight at Houndoom with its fist clenched.

Xia Yan's lips twitched.

They also readily gave up their plan to influence Charizard.

Since we can't change it, let's just go with it.

Xia Yan quickly adjusted his thinking and changed his strategy.

Since there's only one Pokémon, Charizard, Xia Yan can manage to command it according to its habits and battle style.

"In that case, let's use Dragon's Dive!"

"Roar--!!"

Upon hearing this, the Charizard obeyed Xia Yan's command.

As it attacked Houndoom, its body was enveloped in dark purple energy, which condensed into the shape of a giant dragon. With Charizard, it appeared in front of Houndoom with extremely swift movements.

boom--!!

Collision regeneration.

A tremendous force slammed into Houndoom's head.

click -

Cracks appeared on the hard white bone on Houndoom's head, and cracks also appeared on the jet-black scales on Charizard's head.

This one collision was enough for Athena to experience the madness of the fire-breathing dragon.

It's the kind of madness where you'd rather lose eight hundred of your own than let the enemy lose a thousand.

Houndoom's body was still flying backwards completely out of control. The lightning it had gathered only jumped twice on Charizard's scales before quickly disappearing.

The key point is...

Instead of retreating after landing a successful attack, the Charizard flapped its wings and charged forward again.

Athena's expression changed slightly.

She glanced in Xia Yan's direction.

She was considering whether to send Mavira to kill Xia Yan.

But in the end, out of loyalty to Sakaki, he didn't let her choose to do that.

She should actually feel fortunate about this decision.

Otherwise, someone would really die here today, but it definitely wouldn't be Xia Yan.

"Raven leader, launch a surprise attack! Weavile, pursue relentlessly!"

She attempted to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao.

With the offensive of Raven and Weavile, Charizard hesitated to act, thus resolving Houndoom's crisis.

This is the most effective way to outnumber the enemy in a battle.

Unfortunately.

She completely underestimated Charizard's condition at that moment.

The Charizard showed no sign of backing down.

The crow's head transformed into a black flash, appearing behind Charizard with lightning speed, and a fierce Dark-type energy struck its back.

This takes time.

Weavile also appeared beside Charizard, its cunning and cold eyes reflecting the attack of its sharp claws.

wow-

The double damage triggered by the "malicious pursuit" effect also came into play.

Three scarlet claw marks appeared on the Charizard's back, and its black scales were torn apart by the sharp claws.

"Roar--!!"

Charizard roared in pain.

But it still showed no sign of turning back.

Clenching its claws, it tore down, leaving several more crimson streaks on Houndoom's body.

More than that.

Charizard also grabbed Houndoom's two horns, and wisps of flame seeped out from between its clenched teeth.

next second.

boom--!!

Blazing flames surged from its mouth.

The astonished Houndoom hadn't even recovered from the dizziness of the initial head-on collision when the flames in its eyes were so close to it.

It wanted to struggle.

But he found his head was being held tightly.

The crimson flames instantly engulfed it.

After leaving several more wounds on Charizard's back, Raven and Weavile were also frightened by Charizard's reckless behavior.

After Houndoom was engulfed in flames and collapsed to the ground, unable to battle, the two Pokémon almost instinctively retreated frantically, watching the Charizard slowly turn around warily.

A hint of fear flickered in his eyes.

This madman...

Xia Yan's eyes also twitched.

Although he gave the order, Charizard's relentless fighting spirit left him somewhat helpless.

but.

The battle is not over yet.

"Charizard, Dragon Dance once again!"

The Charizard turned around and flapped its wings once more, the flames at the end of its tail forming a giant fireball, engulfing its entire body in flames.

"Fire" property activated!

This was the first time Athena had ever witnessed such a battle.

She suddenly had a strange feeling.

Charizard's ability to endure the attacks of Raven and Weavile without flinching, and its defeat of Houndoom, seems to be merely a facade.

Xia Yan and its true intentions seem to be...

Is it just to trigger Charizard's "Blaze" ability?

What kind of fighting is this?
