Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

They made their decision, and at that moment, Roko took Zekrom's Poké Ball off his belt.

Yin had also decided which Pokémon he would use as his third Pokémon, so he and Roco opened the Poké Ball together and let the Pokémon enter the arena.

Silver had considered using his ace Pokémon as his third Pokémon to seize the initiative, but he thought of Roco's Mewtwo, so after much deliberation, he decided to save his ace for later.

Therefore, this is his third choice!

Charizard!

In the eyes of other trainers, including Gold, Silver was Silver's ace!

There's a reason they think that way.

First of all, Gold and Silver have known each other for a long time, so he knows very well that Charizard was with Silver when it was still a baby Charmander, and it was also Silver's starter Pokémon.

Secondly...this fire-breathing dragon is a variant!

Its body is jet black, and it has a more angular head and longer horns than a typical Charizard.

From the head, it does look somewhat like a Super Charizard Y, but apart from the head, what makes it different from a regular Charizard is its longer tail, larger wings, thicker forelimbs, sharper claws, and—a bluish-white tail flame!

However, to say that this part is very similar to Super Charizard X... well, not really.

Its forelimbs are much thicker than X-Spray's.

Furthermore, the bluish-white tail flame is not unique to Charizard X. The Pokédex from the Gold and Silver Ages actually states that when Charizard is truly angry, its tail flame will turn bluish-white!

Furthermore, the Crystal Pokédex states that the more battle experience Charizard has, the higher the temperature of its flames will be!

The silver Charizard's flames are so intense that even from a distance, one can feel their terrifying heat!

Its combat experience is far superior to that of Eevee and Snorlax!

Some trainers who own Charizard, especially Masuda, the Fire-type Elite Four member from Australia who came to the League headquarters with Alola, have expressed their opinion that Silver, with Charizard, is guaranteed to win this match!

It's even possible they could defeat two opponents and come back!

Alora didn't say anything except shake her head slightly when she heard Masuda's words.

This doesn't mean I agree with him, but rather that I understand that arguing with Masuda about Charizard is simply not going to work!

His main team consists of six Charizards, and he managed to win the Elite Four title with such an abstract team. It is said that if he had a son, he would name him 'Charizard'!

How can you argue with him about this...?

The facts speak for themselves.

From Alola's perspective, even though Roko's Pokémon hasn't actually appeared yet, it definitely doesn't seem like a simple creature!

Many others share the same thoughts as Alola, including Silver.

As the red light cast by Roco fell into the arena, the first thing to appear was not the figure of the elf, but a thick, heavy black cloud as dense as smoke!

The air currents formed by the dark clouds gathered together on the field, and then not only the ground, but also the clouds in the sky became thicker and darker, and finally pressed down layer by layer!

As blue electricity exploded in the sky and the roar of thunder resounded, two red eyes lit up in the gathering black clouds.

'Roar--'

With a tremendous roar, the earth trembled, the wind stopped at some point, and then emerged from the dark clouds a huge black dragon as tall as a mountain, like a monster from a special effects movie!

The moment Ruozong saw this thing, he knew what this spirit was.

Jiang Chuan's voice, carried by the shared power of the protective barrier, resounded throughout the entire audience.

"The legendary black dragon!?"

"This...this is the ace spirit of the ideal king from the era of the kingdoms, the black dragon Zekrom who helped him establish the ideal kingdom!"

He was from the Dragon's Village, so no one questioned him when he said that.

I'll only be amazed and shocked!

They stared at Zekrom, who had shrunk to the same size as Charizard because of its smaller size compared to them, and were speechless.

They never expected that Mewtwo wasn't Rocco's trump card; Rocco had a secret weapon up his sleeve!

This is a legendary elf!

Moreover, it's not like the legendary Pokémon Three Birds, which have been discovered multiple times and have multiple existences; Zekrom is a legendary Pokémon with only one existence in the world!

This means that Czechoslovakia is currently the ace of the ideal nation!

This also means that Luo Ke, who is on the field now, is the successor of the ideal country, the second generation of the ideal king!

......

30. The thunder that struck down the sun

Facing Zekrom, an ordinary elf would probably be too stressed to even think straight by now.

But the fire-breathing dragon is different from them.

It only gets excited when facing a strong enemy!

'Roar--'

As if in a show of defiance, the Charizard stretched its neck and roared, its eyes filled with a fierce fighting spirit directed at Zekrom.

Instead of being intimidated, you chose to provoke me?

Zekrom was somewhat surprised by Charizard's reaction, but it was quickly followed by admiration.

so...

'Roar! '

It will respond to Charizard's fighting spirit with an attack!

hum-

The huge, drill-like tail of the Czechoslovakian was the first to light up with a blue light, like an engine being activated.

Then the light spread from its tail to its entire body, gradually illuminating many parts of it.

In this process, it leans forward, retracts and unfolds its wings.

boom!

In the instant that the thunderous roar exploded, Zekrom's body appeared in front of Charizard in one breath. It maintained its charging posture, head held high, chest out, and raised its right claw high, slamming it down towards Charizard's head!

Faced with the enemy before it, the Charizard decisively lowered its body, lowered its head, and placed its forepaws, which were as thick as its legs, on the ground, lying flat on its stomach.

'hiss--'

It opened its nostrils wide and suddenly gasped for air.

Then its cheeks puffed up, as if blowing out a candle, and it blew the bluish-white flame toward Zekrom!

This flame is definitely not ordinary.

Its temperature has reached a level that would raise the temperature of the entire arena upon its appearance. It is perfectly reasonable to abandon one's original action and avoid such an attack.

Off the field, there were champions who had fought against this fire-breathing dragon, and they frowned just by looking at the flames.

Because their elves had all suffered losses from these flames to varying degrees.

Some people's Pokémon were even unable to dodge in time and were instantly killed by this flame!

But looking at this color and feeling this warmth, there was nothing but nostalgia in Zekrom's eyes.

As for the power of this flame...

Compared to the white one, he's too weak!

buzz-

Its enormous tail accelerated like a speeding motor, and blue electricity burst forth from its entire body.

When the fire-breathing dragon's flames touch Zekrom, the electric currents around it unite to form an electromagnetic shield, keeping all threats out.

At that moment, Zekrom's claws slammed into Charizard's face!

To be fair, it's difficult for Charizard to exert force from this angle because it was lying down.

It's like trying to catch the moon's reflection in the sea.

Just like a bear catching fish.

But when the generator at the tail of the Czech Republic Rom began to accelerate, heaven knows how much thrust this motor-like thing provided.

If the attack hits, then...

boom!

With such a casual strike, the earth was torn open. Even though Zekrom had already held back, Charizard was still blasted to the side like a cannonball, smashing through the original protective wall of the audience and slamming into the new protective wall made up by the trainers!

The multi-faceted, specially designed metal protective wall was sent flying by the impact, falling through the air like a leaf and landing at a great distance between it and the Czechoslovakian, as if it had been shattered on the spot by the blow!

The elves responsible for maintaining the protective barrier frowned deeply at the power of Zekrom's casual strike.

too strong!

call--

While they were thinking this, the temperature inside the protective wall did not decrease at all; on the contrary, it increased even further!

The fire-breathing dragon, which crashed to the ground against the protective barrier, gasped for breath and spread its enormous wings.

When it stared at Zekrom with its bloodshot eyes, it lunged forward, pushed off with its feet, flapped its wings, and leaped into the air!

In a normal combat scenario, it would likely employ a maneuvering strategy, occasionally unleashing a burst of flame to steadily end the battle.

But it knew that this approach wouldn't work against Czechoslovakia.

With just this one attack, Charizard felt its vision go black.

Even its characteristic of intense fire is activated as a result!

This characteristic of further increasing its flame temperature seems to be telling it that it's time to use its last trick!

If this move succeeds, it will win; if it fails, it won't be able to withstand a second attack!

So the fire-breathing dragon leaped into the sky and spread its wings.

'Roar! '

With its roar, sunlight pierced through the thick clouds, and the sun emerged from the dark clouds, shining on the fire-breathing dragon's back, burning its body into an ashes-like black shadow.

hiss--

A tremendous hissing sound erupted from the sky. On the field, not only the wind, but even the dirt and dust close to the ground turned into white air currents, visibly flowing towards the direction of the Charizard, as if the whole world was being sucked in!

The gasp was so loud that the world fell into an extremely brief silence the moment it ended.

Then...

With its belly puffed out and head raised, the Charizard unleashed its full breath towards the earth!

Its flames changed from bluish-white to crimson-gold, pressing down like a torrential rain or a tsunami!

The metal wall that had been knocked away by Charizard and fallen into the arena turned red under the flames, then softened in the high temperature and melted on the spot!

If even these metal walls are like this, then everything else is too.

Before this breath, no wall can stand in its way, no fortress can offer even the slightest sense of security. Even a mountain would be reduced to ashes!

This is a move that Charizard improved by combining its Overheat move with its own characteristics.

Actually, it still hasn't completely escaped overheating; it should be considered an application of overheating techniques, but...

'This move already has the makings of a signature move.'

Necrozma made this assessment.

On the front of the flames, Zekrom grew increasingly appreciative of the fire-breathing dragon.

But a battle is a battle.

This is its first battle since joining the Rocco team.

This team is full of powerful creatures, and even Ditto, which has absolutely no connection to gods, is not a Pokémon to be underestimated.

So since everyone gave it this spot, it has to win cleanly!

it's over!
