Chapter 209 The Cheating Mewtwo, The Vanished Aura Fusion, The Burning Divine Flame, The Final Victory
After Venusaur lost its ability to battle, Mewtwo's expression didn't change much. Instead, it used its psychic powers to move Venusaur to the back, and then it landed on the device that had been raised.
There must be some kind of device beneath this castle that can restore Pokémon to their original state. Besides Venusaur, Blastoise was also moved down there at the beginning.
Now, only Charizard is left on Mewtwo's side. The final battle will be a fight between Charizards!
Mewtwo's Charizard flew onto the field from behind, its eyes fierce as it stared at Ash's Charizard. It could sense the difference in skill between the two, but it still chose to fight, simply because its partner had been beaten so badly, how could it not avenge its partner!
"It's the final battle, Charizard, Flamethrower!" Mewtwo's voice remained calm. From the voice he heard through telepathy, one could not sense his passion for the final battle; there was neither a desire for victory nor a fear of defeat.
It was as if this was just an ordinary battle, one in which winning or losing didn't matter.
Mewtwo Charizard opened its gaping maw and spewed out a blazing flame, creating a line of fire across the field.
"Charizard, Flamethrower!" Ash responded with Flamethrower as well, and the same flames shot out from Ash's Charizard's mouth, the flames of both sides colliding in the center of the arena!
"Boom!" A huge wall of flames formed in the center of the arena, and scattered sparks flew all around, leaving scorched marks on the ground the moment they hit it.
The two sides were locked in a standoff for less than two seconds before Charizard's flames forcefully suppressed the opponent's flames!
Mewtwo's expression finally changed slightly this time. Her expression became a little serious. The jet flame that was about to reach Mewtwo Charizard froze, and then, like a backlash, it reversed and rushed straight towards Ash's Charizard!
This scene startled Ash and Lorelei and the others watching nearby. Why did the flames suddenly reverse? Wasn't Ash's Charizard overwhelmingly stronger than its opponent?
Ash was shocked for a moment, then immediately said, "Charizard, fly!"
Upon hearing this, Charizard immediately shut off its flames, spread its wings, and soared into the sky.
The backflow of flames sprayed onto the ground, making it even darker. The Charizard in the sky watched this scene with a puzzled expression, its mind filled with inexplicable questions.
How did the opponent manage to do that? His flamethrower had clearly overwhelmed the opponent, so why did the opponent manage to reverse the flames just before reaching the opponent?
Could it be that this Charizard possesses other powers besides fire-type abilities?
"Let's test Charizard one more time, use Dragon Claw!" Ash hadn't figured out what had happened either, so he decided to try attacking again. This time, he would use a close-range attack, and he refused to believe that the same thing would happen again!
"Roar!" The Charizard in the air roared, spreading its arms and extending emerald green dragon claws from them. Then, it fell like a meteor, heading straight for Mewtwo Charizard!
"Fire Blast!" Instead of letting Charizard use Dragon Claw to fight head-on, Mewtwo used its ultimate Fire-type move, Fire Blast.
A blazing red light instantly emanated from Mewtwo Charizard's mouth, and incredibly dense fire-type energy gathered wildly in its throat, scorching and slightly distorting the surrounding air.
He tilted his head back slightly, his mouth wide open, and the next second, a pillar of fire carrying the power to destroy the world roared out!
The flames quickly condensed in the air, forming a powerful "大" (big) character. Sparks flew with the airflow, raising the temperature of the entire area once again.
That's how it is with battles between Fire-type Pokémon; without protective gear, the spectators suffer terribly.
Charizard neither dodged nor avoided the massive burst of flames, just as it had faced Water Cannon and Hardened Plants before!
"Boom!!" The dragon claw and the giant flame collided violently, and the emerald green energy and orange flames instantly intertwined!
Two beams of light flashed wildly in the air. In the end, Charizard's claws prevailed, tearing apart the Great Flame Blaze, which then dissipated into countless sparks in the air.
Just as Charizard was about to charge down to press its advantage, the surrounding sparks suddenly coalesced again and formed a sphere that completely surrounded Charizard!
"What's going on? Can the Big Flame Burst cause further damage? That can't be right!!" Even the usually composed Xiao Gang couldn't help but question it, his face full of disbelief.
When did Flame Burst have such an effect? It was torn apart but could be reassembled and then wrapped up and encased Charizard once again.
This time, Ash, who had used his Aura to observe the surroundings beforehand, finally noticed something was wrong. It wasn't the power of Mewtwo or Charizard, but the power of Mewtwo!
"Hey! You're directly interfering with the battle on the field with your psychic powers. Is that even a battle?" Ash directly pointed out Mewtwo's cheating behavior.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Mewtwo, and strange expressions appeared on their faces.
"I knew it! Why was Charizard's flames able to bounce back even when they were right in front of the other Charizard's face? That's just too illogical."
"Exactly! You call yourself a trainer?! Since when can trainers actually participate in battles? This is just a bit unreasonable!"
"This is blatant cheating, pure cheating!"
The crowd criticized Mewtwo from the sidelines, but Mewtwo merely glared at them, and instantly Sora, Gary, and the others obediently shut their mouths.
Mewtwo is still quite intimidating; even without facing it directly, you can feel the immense pressure it exerts.
Of all those present, perhaps only Ash and Lorelei were unafraid of Mewtwo's psychic pressure.
After silencing everyone, Mewtwo turned its gaze back to Ash: "Didn't you also use Aura to power your Pokémon? With your Pokémon's original power, they're no match for mine. If you can go in, why can't I?"
Mewtwo's words revealed the truth about how Ash increased the power of his Pokémon. Apart from Misty and Brock, no one else knew how Ash's Pokémon were able to fight across so many levels. Now Mewtwo has revealed it.
It turns out that Ash also used the power called Aura within him to enable his Pokémon to engage in such battles that transcended their level.
Ash rolled his eyes and said, "I'm different from you. My power is amplified by my Pokémon. It's a shared power between the Pokémon and the Trainer. If this counts as the Trainer personally taking action, then Dynamax and Mega Evolution would also be considered the Trainer taking action themselves, right?"
"But you're different. You directly used your superpowers to interfere in the game. Isn't that enough?"
The biggest difference between Mewtwo's approach and Ash's approach is that Ash simply empowers the Pokémon, and the battle is still essentially fought by the Pokémon. If Ash did the same thing as Mewtwo, he wouldn't be empowering the Pokémon; he would be throwing a missile from behind!
"Say what you want. Either you withdraw your power from Charizard, or I'll do what you did and interfere in the battle." Mewtwo said nonchalantly, sounding more like a rogue. It was hard to imagine that Mewtwo would say such a thing.
At this moment, Charizard was still trapped in the air by the flames formed by the Flame Burst. Mewtwo's psychic power gathered the flames into a sphere, trapping Charizard firmly inside. No matter how Charizard used its claws, it could not break the cage of flames.
Although fire-type damage has a weak effect on Charizard, and this is just the residual flame from Flamethrower, the damage it causes to Charizard is not much overall. However, if it continues to burn like this, the damage Charizard will still be considerable.
The current situation is definitely advantageous for Mewtwo and Charizard. If Ash doesn't withdraw his power from Charizard, then under the influence of Mewtwo's power, his Charizard will absolutely have no chance of defeating its opponent.
With divine intervention, how can we possibly win?
Xiao Zhi frowned slightly, then he clenched his fist tightly, gathered his energy in his dantian, and threw a punch!
A visible punch flew out from Ash's fist and hit the fire cage directly. The cage that Charizard had been scratching with its claws for a long time without being able to break was shattered instantly under the impact of this punch!
Charizard was also freed from its cage.
However, the Charizard's aura suddenly weakened rapidly in the next second, eventually returning to the beginner level of the gym.
Ash looked at Mewtwo, his expression grave, and said, "Is this alright?"
He withdrew his waveguide power.
"Fine, you don't need your power, and neither do I." Mewtwo also withdrew the power it had been releasing, indicating that it was committed to fairness.
Without the boost of intelligence, Charizard, though powerful, is only at the beginner level of a gym. It is indeed amazing that it can reach this level in just a few months. However, in the arena, it is not about who can reach a higher level in the shortest time. Strength is everything!
There is almost a whole level difference between the beginner and the peak of a gymnastics. This level gap is almost impossible to overcome without external influence. Mewtwo was certain that its Charizard would win.
"Charizard, show them that even without a trainer's power, you still have your own strength! Use Flare Blitz!" Ash's cold shout rang out, and the power hidden within Charizard's body began to erupt.
"Bear!!" Colorful flames rose from Charizard's entire body, and the ground of the arena melted into lava in the blink of an eye. The temperature of the flames that Charizard burned this time was several levels more terrifying than when it was empowered by Aura!
This is divine fire! The appearance of divine power in a dojo-level battle is nothing short of a dimensional attack!
Mewtwo, who had been calm, changed her expression drastically when she saw the flames rising from Charizard's body. She actually sensed a threat from those flames!
How is this possible? A mere gym leader could produce power that threatens her?
She subconsciously used her own power to probe Ash and found that Ash had not attached any power to Charizard, meaning that it was purely Charizard's own power.
Could that fire-breathing dragon actually possess divine power?
"Roar!!" The fire-breathing dragon, burning with holy flames, roared, then spread its wings like a phoenix spreading its wings! The entire sky, which had been shrouded in gloom, was illuminated as bright as day.
A thick pillar of flame shot up from his body and tore a huge gap in the dark clouds that hung low overhead. Clear sunlight poured down through the gap, making the fire-breathing dragon seem to be covered in a layer of golden light.
At this moment, Charizard has become the absolute center of the world.
With a flap of its wings, Charizard shot towards Mewtwo Charizard like an arrow. The intense sacred fire distorted the space around it.
"Protect." This move absolutely cannot be taken head-on. Mewtwo immediately ordered its Charizard to use Protect. When a Gym Leader uses Protect against a Beginner Gym Leader, there is almost no chance that the move will fail to defend.
But if it's the Holy Flame, then that's a different story!
"Boom!!" An unparalleled, enormous sound rang out on the field, and a violent shockwave spread wildly in all directions. In the center of the field, the emerald green barrier firmly resisted the colorful flames, preventing them from advancing an inch.
The violent shockwave had shattered the entire area, and the aftershocks and heatwave even reached Lorelei and the others behind Ash. Ash wanted to use the Aura Barrier to add another layer of protection for everyone to prevent any accidents.
But Kona had already released the white sea lion and erected an indestructible ice wall in front of everyone, blocking all the shockwaves and heat waves.
Seeing that there was nothing to worry about in the back, Ash could then focus all his energy on the battles on the field.
As the power within Charizard's body continued to erupt, the emerald green barrier in front of Mewtwo Charizard began to crack inch by inch. Even Mewtwo was shocked by this sight, and its pupils contracted.
Unexpected things happened one after another. First, there was the special power on Charizard's body, and then this time it shattered the protective barrier of the gym's top team. If we could obtain the genes of this Charizard and nurture it, perhaps we could even raise a Pokémon of the same level as it in the future.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!" More and more cracks appeared on the protective barrier, and within seconds they had become as dense as a spider web!
"Boom!!" A few seconds later, Protector finally shattered under the strain, and Charizard, wreathed in colorful flames, slammed into Mewtwo Charizard, delivering a heavy blow to its opponent!
"Now, Seismic Toss!!" Strike while the iron is hot. The Holy Flame version of Flame Rush was blocked by the opponent's Protect, and with Charizard's resistance to Fire-types, this move wouldn't be enough to finish off the opponent. Since that's the case, let's add another move—the decisive Seismic Toss!
This time, the same scenario as Kona's will never happen again!
