The Return of Charizard! Champion-Level! A Battle of Dragons and Tigers!

Chapter 415 The Return of Charizard! Champion-Level! A Battle of Dragons and Tigers!

The first Pokémon in Age of Gods was Registeel, which means that Age of Gods planned to send out all three legendary Pokémon throughout the battle!

Facing Ash, Shinji no longer held back, because he knew that if he did, he might be the one being beaten up like a drowning dog.

Ash is not Shinji. Although he is young, his strength far surpasses Shinji's. Even Lorelei was defeated by Ash.

However, he is different from Lorelei. Ash defeated Lorelei by defeating two mid-level Champion Pokémon.

However, all three of his Regibones are Champion-level Pokémon, and are also Legendary Pokémon, possessing higher stats and greater stamina than ordinary Pokémon.

In terms of command skills, he doesn't think he'd lose to Xiaozhi.

Ash being able to defeat Lorelei doesn't mean he can defeat him.

"Regisel, the Steel Titan—I've chosen him! Charizard!" Ash threw the Poké Ball in his hand, and with a flash of light, a Charizard with an even more robust body appeared on the field!

That's right. When Ash arrived in Goldenrod City today, he had already summoned Charizard back from Charizard Valley in preparation for today's battle.

"Charizard? Fire type is super effective against Steel type, so it's a good choice, but Registeel isn't an opponent that can be defeated simply by type advantage." Shinji's expression remained unchanged after seeing Ash send out Charizard.

The last person to use type advantage is still sitting in the stands watching the game. Ash's Charizard might be stronger, but his Registeel is no pushover either.

"Of course we know that type advantage isn't everything. In this match, I will give it my all to defeat you, Mr. God—Charizard! Show me your true power, Mega Evolution!!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ash immediately had Charizard undergo Mega Evolution.

"roar!!"

The light of evolution shone on the field, and in a short while, Charizard transformed from its original orange-red color into a jet-black dragon.

MEGA Charizard X!

"Do you know what level Ash's Charizard has reached?" Brock suddenly asked the two girls who were intently watching the match.

The two women shook their heads. They knew that Ash had temporarily retrieved Charizard from the Charizard Valley, but they didn't know what level Charizard was at now.

When we parted ways, Charizard was at the high-level Elite Four, but now, less than a month later, it's probably only at the peak of Elite Four. Even with Mega Evolution, it's still quite a bit behind Registeel.

If you want to win with certainty, you should still go for waveguide fusion.

Legendary Pokémon aren't so easy to battle against when they're much stronger than you!

"Ash's Charizard is already Champion-level," Brock said in a surprising statement.

The voice wasn't quiet; Shinji below heard it too. He didn't turn around, but his pupils suddenly contracted.

That fire-breathing dragon—won the championship?

Back at the Quartz Conference, that Charizard wasn't even at the Elite Four level.

Even when battling Lorelei, although he could contend with Lorelei's Champion-level Pokémon, he only managed to bridge the gap between them thanks to Ash's special methods and Mega Evolution.

His actual level should be around the intermediate level of the Heavenly King—how long has it been since then? He's already a champion?

Did that guy level up all his Pokémon by flying?!

If you don't rely on any methods with side effects, even the most talented Pokémon shouldn't level up so quickly. And even if you do rely on methods with side effects, reaching the Champion level isn't easy.

What exactly is going on with that fire-breathing dragon?

"Champion? How could it be so fast? Just half a month ago, he was only a high-level Heavenly King! Xiao Gang, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Serena's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

She was no longer a novice trainer, but a junior trainer with some experience. She also understood what it meant to go from Elite Four level to Champion level in half a month.

Even Charizard couldn't possibly do that!

"I wasn't mistaken. I could tell from Charizard's appearance and the sheen of its fur that it was a champion. The aura it emitted when it evolved just now further convinced me that it was definitely a champion, but it must have only recently advanced." Brock said with certainty.

He was absolutely certain that he was right, even if it seemed unbelievable.

Shinji, who had heard all of this, was already exhausted. Could someone explain to him what it meant to be at the Elite Four level a week ago and now at the Champion level?

Is this spoken in a human language? Or is it a mistranslation of an alien language?

In just half a month, let alone going from advanced Heavenly King to Champion level, even going from beginner Heavenly King to intermediate Heavenly King would be extremely difficult!

Shinji briefly wondered if Gon was saying this on purpose to tease him, but the thought only lasted for a fraction of a second before he dismissed it.

Xiao Gang isn't that bored, and there's no need for him to target him.

In other words, what Xiaogang said is very likely true.

Going from King-level to Champion-level in just half a month—is he even human?!

On the field—

"Impressive momentum. Using Mega Evolution right from the start, is it aiming to take the first match?" Shinji nodded in agreement with Charizard's momentum. As a champion-level trainer, he could tell Charizard's level at a glance, even without a battle.

Champion (Junior Level)

This level is somewhat underwhelming compared to Registeel, but when compared to Charizard's historical levels, it's quite exaggerated.

How long has it been since the battle with Lorelei? At that time, Charizard was only a beginner Elite Four member.

In less than three months, he's already reached the champion level? This level is like a rocket launch!

However, Shindai could also see that Charizard had only recently reached Champion level, and might have only just reached it today.

This also means that even after Mega Evolution, Charizard's strength remains at the beginner Champion level, and it has not reached the intermediate Champion level.

While level isn't everything, having a higher level is equivalent to having a huge advantage. In addition, his Registeel has been immersed in the Champion level for many years, and his ability value has reached the peak of his current level.

If the opponent dares to confront Registeel head-on, they will be suppressed by Registeel in a single exchange.

"Charizard, use Fire Punch!"

Ash launched the first attack. Since he was at a level disadvantage, he would make up for it with speed and momentum!

Although Charizard was at a lower level, the difference wasn't as significant as in Shinji's battle, so it was still faster than the slower Titans.

With a flap of its wings, the Charizard's massive body shot through the air like a fighter jet!

The flames wrapped around his right fist left a trail of azure afterimages as he moved at high speed, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Registeel!

"So fast!" Shinji's pupils suddenly contracted.

Before he could even react, Charizard had already charged in front of his opponent. If he had put himself in Charizard's shoes and used Electivire to counter Charizard, he would probably have been sent flying more than ten meters away by now.

"Registrar, Iron Wall!" Kamishiro's calm voice rang out.

With his arms crossed in front of him, the silver-gray metallic body gleamed with a faint metallic sheen, its defensive capabilities pushed to the limit at this moment.

"boom!!!"

The Flame Fist landed squarely on Registeel's arms!

The moment the high-temperature flames collided with the steel, a piercing metallic scream echoed throughout the entire pyramid.

Regischiru's body, which was said to be able to withstand any physical attack, was actually sent sliding backward several meters by this punch, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground!

His arms bore obvious burn marks from the flames, and his entire body was reddish, a result of the intense heat from the Flame Fist!

"What?!" For the first time, a look of surprise appeared on Kamishiro's face.

He hadn't expected Charizard's physical attacks to be so powerful; even with Iron Defense as a defense, it still inflicted such terrifying damage on Registeel.

That Charizard might have attack power at the level of a Champion.

Even Registeel couldn't withstand that kind of attack more than a few times.

"Well done, Charizard!" Ash clenched his fist. "One more Fire Punch!"

Ash wanted Charizard to score a second time, but Brandon wasn't the type to suffer twice.

As Charizard charged at Registeel in the same manner, Shinji's voice reached Registeel's ears: "Take it down, then use Arm Hammer."

"boom!!"

Charizard's Flame Punch struck Registeel's arm once more, but this time Registeel wasn't blasted away. Instead, its legs were firmly planted in the ground, causing the floor to crack again, demonstrating the power of the attack.

The next instant, Registeel's left arm swept out with the force of a thunderbolt!

The Charizard had just finished its attack, its body still in the momentum of its punch, and had no time to dodge. That thick metal arm slammed solidly into the Charizard's side!

"boom!!!"

The force of that attack was astonishing. The Charizard's massive body was slammed into the ground like a baseball hit by a bat!

The already riddled battlefield completely shattered upon impact, creating a massive crater over five meters in diameter that exploded amidst the smoke and dust, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading in all directions.

The violent shockwave, carrying debris and dust, spread outwards. Xiaoxia and the others in the audience instinctively raised their arms to shield their faces, the shockwave stinging their cheeks.

The entire pyramid began to sway and crumble due to the collision between the two.

The aftershocks of a battle between champion-level Pokémon can raze an entire town to the ground!

However, this shock lasted for less than a second before it was isolated, and now only the battlefield is affected by the aftershocks of the battle.

Mewtwo has made its move.

"Charizard!" Serena couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, in the center of the pit, the Charizard was slammed to the ground by the arm hammer. The immense force, combined with the difference in their levels, nearly caused the Charizard to faint.

If it weren't for the MEGA evolution, this one blow would have already decided the outcome!

Xiao Zhi clenched his fists tightly, his expression so solemn it was almost dripping with water.

"The legendary Pokémon lives up to its name—Charizard, get out of under the arm hammer first!" Ash's voice woke up the drowsy Charizard. It tried to flap its wings to get away, but found that the arm pressing down on it was like a mountain, making it unable to move!

"It's over, Registeel, the Primal Force!" Kamishiro shouted, waving his arm.

The six red diamond-shaped gems on Regischiru's chest lit up simultaneously, and an ancient and immense energy surged forth from them.

The surrounding shattered rocks seemed to lose their gravity, floating into the air one by one, emitting an earthy yellow light under the blessing of primal power, hovering behind Registeel like a meteorite cluster.

If this attack hits Charizard, the type advantage and Registeel's powerful attack will definitely render Charizard unable to battle!

For a moment, Xiaoxia and the others were on tenterhooks—why—why didn't you use Aura Fusion, Ash!

Without Aura Fusion, the gap between the two sides is still too large. Charizard's defense is as thin as paper in front of Registeel, whose attack is not high. If this continues, there is no chance of winning!

"Charizard, Flare Blitz!!!" Ash's shout echoed throughout the stadium.

"Roar!!" Charizard's body suddenly burst into crimson flames!

The red flames even enveloped the blue flames on his tail and shoulders. Although the flames were crimson, they were hotter than the blue flames!

Under the scorching heat of the flames, Registeel's arm, which was suppressing Charizard, was instantly burned red-hot and almost melted!

Registeel, in pain, had no choice but to release Charizard, but the primal energy from the sky was already raining down like a meteor shower!

The fire-breathing dragon neither dodged nor avoided, charging straight up. The falling boulders melted the moment they came into contact with the flames, turning into lava that splashed everywhere, unable to stop him in the slightest!

Using the power of Flame Charge, Charizard finally broke through the encirclement and hovered in mid-air. Although panting heavily, it still had some combat ability.

Registeel's injuries were far more severe than Charizard's!

Two Flame Punches, plus the burn from Charizard's Holy Flame version of Flare Charge, combined to deplete at least two-thirds of Sleeve's HP.

On the other side, Xiaoxia and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Charizard break free from the encirclement of the meteor shower.

This battle was a real test of my nerves; it felt like my heart was about to stop at any moment. If Ash had used Aura Fusion, it definitely wouldn't have been this dangerous.

In fact, if Ash had used Aura Fusion, he could have skipped Mega Evolution and simply used Charizard to send the opponent's three legendary titans flying.

The reason they don't use it is simple: he doesn't want to, and Charizard doesn't want to either.

When you're weak, it's understandable that you have to resort to unorthodox methods and go all out to compete fairly with your opponent. But now that you've improved your strength, you can hold your own and fight with normal power. So why bother with waveguide fusion?

Charizard will prove in this battle that it represents the honor of Ash's team's three ace Pokémon! Even without relying on Aura Fusion, it can defeat a Champion-level Pokémon in a real fight!
