The trainer who wants to clear the game only wants to raise dragons.

The latter's attributes remain unchanged.

The name contains the character for "dragon".

It will definitely Mega Evolve into a Fire Dragon.

Alain also has a Mega Charizard X, but unfortunately it didn't make it into the top eight, so Mega Charizard X became Bai Hong's signature Pokémon.

The atmosphere in the Palace Arena remained high, and the commentator's voice was almost hoarse from shouting. Several times he almost couldn't breathe. Mega Charizard X was confronting Gigantamax Charizard. He glanced upwards, and the cold glint in his eyes was quickly hidden.

"Gigantic Rock!"

Dan Di clenched his fist and swung it forward.

His expression remained relatively calm.

Roar! The Gigantamax Charizard flapped its wings and roared, instantly creating a giant earthen wall in front of it, and then controlled the giant earthen wall to smash heavily towards Mega Charizard X.

Max Rock is a Max Move, and its problem lies in its wide range, making it difficult to dodge. Even if you manage to dodge it, you can't stop the sandstorm effect that follows, and you'll take damage either way.

"Dig a hole!"

Bai Hong had predicted it.

This is exactly the same as the battle scene in the animation. Instead of using skills to block the giant earthen wall that is about to fall, it is better to avoid its sharp edge and suddenly fold its wings and plunge into the ground.

Boom~

Dust billowed up inside the venue.

The ground shook.

Although burrowing underground can be quite uncomfortable due to the shaking, it allows you to avoid the sandstorms that follow the giant rocks.

"Put your feet on the ground!"

Dandi immediately seized the opportunity.

Shout it without any ambiguity.

"Rockfall!"

at the same time.

Bai Hong also issued instructions.

Just as the Gigantamax Charizard raised its foot to launch an attack, the ground inexplicably collapsed, causing it to lose its balance, followed by countless sharp stones shooting upwards.

The Gigantamax Charizard tried to dodge, but its massive size forced it to grit its teeth and take the damage head-on. Being four times weak to Rock was really tough, and its immediate priority was to regain its balance.

Crash~

Super Charizard X bursts out of the ground.

That rockfall was quite unexpected; it was a special technique it had practiced for a long time to learn. Launching a rockfall from underground is no less difficult than creating a tornado underwater.

"Did you see that?"

A-Du asked Zhu Lan in surprise.

Zhu Lan frowned slightly.

They watched it very carefully.

The act of digging a hole is not unusual; the key is how Bai Hong timed it so precisely, even having a backup plan, as if he had anticipated that Dan Di would do this. It was truly unpredictable.

The battle situation changed in an instant, and Dan had no time to think or doubt himself: "Charizard, you can't lose your momentum. It's champion time! Use Gigantamax Hellfire!"

This time it's a Gigantamax move.

The trump card of Gigantamax Charizard.

Whether it succeeds or not, you have to try.

After activating Gigantamax, every Max Move and Gigantamax Move becomes extremely important.

Bai Hong didn't make a move, watching helplessly as the Gigantamax Charizard bent down and launched a huge bird-shaped flame from behind.

Mega Charizard X feigned panic and hurriedly pulled back, but it was still repeatedly attacked by bird-shaped flames and was eventually engulfed by the impact of the explosion. Sharp cries echoed throughout the arena. This sound, which resembled the cry of a phoenix, was formed by the friction between the bird-shaped flames and the air.

"Gigantamax Inferno has hit!"

The commentator stood up excitedly. He knew better than anyone how terrifying Gigantamax Charizard's Gigantamax Inferno was, as its additional effects would cause Pokémon other than Fire-type Pokémon to lose health rapidly.

wait~

Pokémon other than Fire-type?

Even after Mega Evolution, Bai Hong's Charizard remains a Fire-type Pokémon, and its Giga Descent Strike poses no threat to it. Moreover, the Dragon-type resistance further enhances its fire resistance.

As a champion-level trainer, Leon couldn't possibly be unaware of this, unless he did it on purpose: "Now, Max Raid!"

So Gigantamax Inferno isn't meant for dealing damage, but rather for trapping Mega Charizard X. The explosive impact of the flames acts like a smokescreen, obstructing vision and hindering movement, thus maximizing the accuracy and damage output of Gigantamax Dragoon.

To deal with Dragon-type Pokémon.

You'll need to use a Dragon-type Dynamax move.

However, a meaningful smile appeared on Bai Hong's lips, especially when Dan Di gave the order. His brows relaxed and his clenched back teeth loosened slightly.

All that effort to deplete Leon's five Pokémon was for this moment, betting that Leon would use this move, even if it wasn't very effective against Mega Charizard X, they couldn't bear to give up.

Calling it gambling is inappropriate.

Information based on anime and games.

Targeted tactics can be devised.

When Leon shouts "Championship moment," he's bound to energize the entire crowd. Gigantamax Hellfire, as Gigantamax Charizard's signature move, best showcases its power.

The timeline of this Pokémon world deviates slightly from the anime. Ash is still traveling in other regions and has not participated in any competitions. Therefore, Leon has maintained a winning streak and is known as the invincible champion.

roar~

Gigantamax Charizard has made its move.

He roared furiously, as if possessed.

A terrifying purple aura suddenly emanated from his body.

The purple aura surrounding it surged to its limit, suddenly forming an energy vortex that swept towards Super Charizard X, engulfing it along with the explosive impact of the flames.

"What is Bai Hong doing?"

"Has it given up the struggle?"

"No, look! A blue flame has started to ignite, as if it's resisting the purple vortex. If I remember correctly, the flame of Mega Charizard X is blue."

"How is it possible that Bai Hong's Charizard could withstand the strangulation attack of Max Dragoon? Aren't dragons supposed to be weak?"

The surrounding audience witnessed this scene.

Subconsciously holding my breath and calming myself down.

Boom~

Blue flames exploded.

Suddenly, it swept open a purple vortex.

This extremely domineering flame energy shattered the Gigantamax Charizard's Dynamax attack without warning. The figure hidden beneath the blue flames, its eyes wide open in fury, the dragon flames at the corners of its mouth intensified dozens of times, resembling a roc spreading its wings.

The most exaggerated thing is the dragon flame on its tail, which is more powerful than the high-pressure gas of a rocket booster. It shoots up high, like a volcanic eruption, and seems to have a life force.

"what happened?"

Dan Di's mouth trembled.

I had a bad feeling.

He could sense an unprecedentedly powerful force emanating from Super Charizard X, a force so strong it instilled a strange sense of fear.

"Thanks to the Super Giant Inferno Extinguisher, Charizard unleashed its Explosive Dragonfire, which you can think of as an enhanced version of Blazing Fire." Bai Hong deliberately saved this trump card for the finals.

"Exploding Dragon Flame?"

"Correct!"

Faced with Dan Di's question.

No further explanation will be provided.

Following Ash's example with his Infernape, he found a hidden volcano and let his Charizard soak in the boiling lava every day. This was not only to enhance the fire within his body, but also to train his special ability to absorb energy from lava or flames.

Ash's Infernape is unusual because the fire within it contains energy of anger, which can easily go out of control once it erupts. Specifically, the stronger the anger, the greater the power.

This is explosive rage.

The Explosive Dragon Flame draws inspiration from the Explosive Fury, infusing the raging fire with the ultimate dragon-type energy. When its power reaches a certain level, it becomes explosive, comparable to a volcanic eruption, and extremely lethal.

There is no doubt that Giga Charizard X had just absorbed the fire energy of Giga Gigantamax Hellfire, which is why it unleashed such an amazing Bursting Dragon Flame. Even though its ability changed from Blaze to Hard Claw after Mega Evolution, it was still able to channel out the powerful force hidden within its body.

Isn't this also a new breakthrough?

The explosive dragon flames ignited.

A huge potential was unleashed.

"Explosive flames!"

This time it was Bai Hong's turn to fight back.

Just as Dan was stunned, Mega Charizard X burst into flames. The moment it landed, it roared angrily and slammed its front paws into the ground. Explosive dragon flames instantly spread to the Gigantamax Charizard, engulfing its enormous body with earth-shattering force.

The Exploding Dragon Flame mercilessly scorched the Gigantamax Charizard's body, even shattering the ground beneath its feet.

Just heard a loud bang.

The explosive dragon flames burst open.

The dense red clouds overhead vanished instantly.

The Gigantamax Charizard couldn't withstand the damage from the Blazing Dragonfire and was forced to de-Gigantamax, eventually collapsing helplessly to the ground.

"Charizard!!"

Dan Di looked on incredulously.

His pupils suddenly contracted.
