Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Trading one's own condition for a boost? That doesn't quite fit Xia Yan's champion playstyle."

"But it fits the fighting style of a Pokémon like Infernape."

"It makes sense to pair different Pokémon with different tactics, but it's just relatively rare."

"..."

The audience was thrilled by the intense clash between Charizard and Infernape, and couldn't help but discuss it amongst themselves.

This is something that Crimson, who fought against Natsuhiko, is naturally even clearer about.

"Charizard, Dragon Claw!"

Crimson clenched its fists, its excited state almost identical to Charizard's, with sparks burning in its eyes.

roar-!!

The blue-purple dragon-type energy enveloped the claws, tearing towards Infernape's face.

"Close combat!"

Xia Yan's lips curled up slightly.

creak-

Infernape's clenched fists made a "crunching" sound as it swung its fists, colliding with Charizard's claws.

It was just a clash between fists and claws, yet it produced a resounding clang of metal striking metal.

boom!!!

As the two spirits collided in their final moments, both spirits were forced backward.

The fire-breathing dragon flapped its enormous wings and staggered through the air to steady itself.

The Infernape also squatted on the ground and slid backward, carving two scorched furrows in the ground.

Ho!

Charizard suddenly lowered its head, and Infernape's head followed suit.

The two elves' gazes met in the air.

Invisible flames burst forth in the eyes of the two elves.

"Charizard!!"

Crimson shouted.

"roar-!!"

The fire-breathing dragon roared to the sky in response, and a raging fire suddenly rose up, the surging flames coloring the entire sky.

"It's a raging fire!"

"The reason why the Red player didn't stop despite noticing that Infernape's attack power was constantly increasing was to allow Charizard's 'Blaze' ability to be triggered."

"It seems that the Crimson Warrior isn't entirely reckless."

"What a joke. How could someone who makes it to the World Championship finals be a truly brainless brute?"

Gazing at the sky ablaze with fire, Infernape slowly straightened up.

Xia Yan, who was also gazing at the sky, raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Fire?"

"Cough!"

Infernape stretched and bent again, almost every muscle in its body taut. Xia Yan grinned.

"Since it's a 'raging fire,' we certainly can't be left behind."

He immediately waved his hand, "Infernape, Blaze!"

Clunk!!

An excited roar, accompanied by billowing dark flames, shot skyward.

It is tight and densely covers the entire body from top to bottom.

Spread it towards the ground.

In an instant, a sea of ​​fire engulfed the entire battlefield.

"Here it comes! Xia Yan, the champion's signature..."

"Manually turn on the 'high heat'!"

"Heavenly fire versus earthly fire, this is a collision of the ultimate flames."

"They've all gone all out; it seems the next move will be to determine the outcome."

"But, is Xia Yan's Infernape afraid of a direct confrontation? After all, it's... it's cheating."

"..."

Xia Yan and Chi Hong exchanged a glance. That was indeed what they thought too.

"Charizard, this is the final blow, Explosive Flame!!"

One of the strongest fire-type moves, Explosive Flame!

This is Crimson's last trump card.

Then Xia Yan is of course...

"Infernape, Cliff Sword!!" The final clash of the two sides' strongest moves.

With a twitch of its wings, the blazing flames that filled the sky were instantly absorbed back into the dragon's body.

next second.

The fire-breathing dragon spread its wings again, and the rolling flames transformed into a ferocious fire dragon, dragging its wings, which were made entirely of flames, as it charged straight down.

Boom!!

Suddenly, the ground beneath the fire-breathing dragon exploded, and a huge pillar of magma rose from the ground, carrying scorching heat.

The enormous, roaring fire dragon collided head-on with the massive rock pillar that rose from the ground.

boom!!!

A terrifying wave of fire swept outwards, pounding wildly against the energy barrier, producing a thunderous roar.

But the audience was already used to this kind of "small scene," and they stared at the arena without blinking.

Fire dragon and rock pillar.

Wow!!!

All I saw was...

The enormous pillar of magma that rose from the ground pierced right through the fire dragon spewed out by the fire-breathing dragon, without showing any sign of stopping.

After Charizard unleashed "Explosive Flame," its body inevitably stiffened.

He was struck head-on by the rock pillar.

boom--

A fierce piercing, a violent collision, and a terrifying explosion resulted in the fire-breathing dragon plummeting straight to the ground.

"Charizard, Charizard is unable to battle!"

In this battle and clash of flames, Infernape ultimately emerged victorious.

Chapter 268 Xia Yan VS Crimson (The End)

Charizard was defeated, and Red has lost three Pokémon in the six-out-of-four battle.

This is the end.

Crimson has only one elf left.

As for Xia Yan, although he did not lose any Pokémon, Aegislash was theoretically almost completely incapacitated. Latios, although still capable of fighting, had very little fighting power left.

As for Infernape, which was still on the field, it had been fighting the red Charizard for so long, and its fighting spirit was still very high. However, Xia Yan had also seen the changes in its condition.

so.

Xia Yan actually didn't have much fighting power left, but compared to the decisive defeat of the three Crimson Pokémon, he was definitely much better off.

The competition has reached its final moments.

"Thick fat! It's a characteristic of thick fat!"

The super-degenerate fossil beneath it burst forth with dazzling light, and the light that followed caused a huge change in Venusaur's appearance.

Inside the rest area, Mega Venusaur appeared to be in a "shrinking" state, even Red was stunned for a moment.

and so……

It's more than just strong.

As two thick vines pierced through the layers of hazy light, the Mega Venusaur, now transformed, appeared in a brand new form before anyone could see it.

Da na—

"You remember... Dr. Xia Yan seems to have written a paper about Mega Venusaur. Before Venusaur reaches Mega Evolution, its ability changes..."

"..."

Infernape was instantly engulfed in terrifying flames, which instantly extinguished the encroaching dust upon contact with its burning flames.

Before putting it away, I resolutely threw out my first Poké Ball.

The initiative in that battle fell into the hands of Red and Mega Venusaur.

Chi Hong, however, believed that Xia Yan intended to use that method to strike me.

"Red!" Scarlet shouted excitedly.

The Poké Ball in Yan Lun's hand swayed slightly.

From the tiny, tree-like flower of the Mega Venusaur, a small amount of dust was sprayed out. Among the colorful particles were neither hypnotic powder nor poisonous powder, while the even smaller particles were parasitic seeds.
