Chapter 504: The Fourth Battle - A Champion-Level Charizard
"So hot, so hot..."
The moment Hikaru came down, Sakura couldn't wait to complain.
She then took Hikaru's hand and placed it on her head. The feeling of stepping into an air-conditioned room instantly washed over her, and Sakura's expression immediately relaxed. "Hah... much better..."
She felt like she was about to be soaked through; some of her clothes were already sticking to her body.
"How about this? After we're done here, you go finish your matches, then find a place to wait until it's time to go back?"
Looking at Sakura's sun-flushed face, Hikaru also felt a pang of heartache.
This girl, even when she was in the orphanage, had never suffered much. Now she was following him, exposed to the wind and sun.
Under two Sunny Days, who knew how high the surrounding temperature had gotten.
He even felt like using an [Entry Replica] to replicate a [Child of Ice and Snow] for her.
But one [Entry Replica]...
Using it just to cool off felt a bit like a waste.
Sigh, I can only finish the battles quickly and get the reward.
He had heard that a Charizard that challenged four times could also receive a mysterious reward.
"No way. I think this is very interesting."
Sakura shook her head.
It was indeed very hot, but what mattered most was who she was with.
She was very happy being with her big brother.
"Got it!"
Hikaru immediately thought of a solution. He summoned Greninja and had it create a large block of ice.
Greninja knew a few Ice-type moves.
It was just that compared to its other moves, it didn't use them often. It might be a bit of a struggle to use them in battle, but they were quite good for normally changing attributes or making ice cubes.
On the island, Hikaru often had it purify seawater and then make berry ice drinks.
He then had Latias create a psychic wall to try and keep the temperature inside from dissipating outwards.
Although it couldn't completely block out the high temperatures outside, it could still maintain an air-conditioning effect for a while.
This action, however, made Latias pout slightly, looking at Hikaru with an unreadable expression.
She hated ice...
Hikaru's heart skipped a beat; he had indeed overlooked this factor.
Sigh...
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
He felt like he was about to be criticized.
But right now, the three Charizard had already "repaired" the entire field and were calling out from over there, seeming to ask if Hikaru was going to fight the fourth match.
"Fight!"
These urging calls now sounded like the music of heaven to Hikaru. He quickly climbed onto Garchomp's back and flew towards the battlefield.
"Roar!"
Of the three Charizard, two were already old and aging. They had long lost the vigor of their youth, so the only one who could enter the field was the Champion-level Charizard in the middle.
A Charizard with the Super Blaze ability.
This talent, among Charizard, was truly rare.
This was the limitation between species.
Latias could easily reach the talent of a sub-legendary.
But most Charizard could only be between Gym Leader and Elite Four level.
And some Pokémon like Butterfree, Beedrill, and Raticate, their average talent could only be in the ordinary to elite range.
Even if some "anomalies" could break this limit, they were extremely few.
As both sides took their positions, the opposing Charizard spoke first. "Roar." (You can't beat me.)
Compared to the excitement of the previous Charizard, this female Charizard was noticeably calmer.
But when she looked at Charizard (Hikaru's), there was a strange color in her eyes.
This color...
Hikaru saw it, was first stunned, and then it dawned on him.
The current Charizard was sturdily built, with smooth and beautiful skin, plus the white flames mixed in with its raging fire.
Isn't this the handsome hunk among Charizard?
In most of the Pokémon world, there was no such thing as "pursuit."
Generally, if they took a liking to each other, they could directly reproduce.
But without a doubt, only well-developed, sturdy members of the same species would be more popular.
This had nothing to do with beauty, ugliness, or gender.
It might be a bit hard to understand.
But putting it another way makes it easy to understand.
The popularity of Charizard (Hikaru's) was roughly equivalent to that of a white-haired beauty among humans.
And the kind that was young but had a good figure.
"Roar?"
Charizard (Hikaru's) looked at the opponent in front of it, its face full of solemnity. This opponent was even stronger.
If it didn't Mega Evolve, it felt it didn't have much chance of winning.
After all, it was more than just one level higher.
And the opponent's first sentence stunned Charizard (Hikaru's).
"Roar!" (I've taken a liking to you. After this battle, we'll mate!)
"Roar!" (Also, you can't beat me.)
"Roar?"
When it reacted, Charizard (Hikaru's) became enraged and directly spat a burst of flame into the sky.
What is this?
When he heard this sentence, Hikaru was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
Although he found it amusing in his heart, his face showed sympathy.
What do you call this?
Forcibly taking a civilian dragon?
However, Charizard was his Pokémon, after all. If it was unwilling, he naturally had to stand on its side.
And besides, even if it agreed, he couldn't let his Charizard be at a disadvantage, right?
Looked at this way, this battle was a must-win!
"Charizard, don't let it look down on you!"
Hikaru's emotions also became inexplicably excited.
This battle could be related to the future dominance of his Charizard!
"Roar!"
Charizard (Hikaru's) let out a long cry and flew into the sky.
The opponent also followed it into the sky.
This circular platform clearly couldn't withstand another duel between the two Charizard. It was better to just move the battlefield into the air.
"Roar!" (Come live with me in Charicific Valley!)
The female Charizard opposite still hadn't given up on the idea of keeping Charizard (Hikaru's).
"Roar!" (Cut the crap!)
Fire flared from Charizard (Hikaru's) nostrils as it stared at the opponent, suppressing its anger.
The female Charizard didn't try to persuade it further, but instead turned its gaze to Hikaru behind Charizard (Hikaru's).
It was as if she were signaling that they could begin.
She was already getting impatient.
Beat this Charizard, then drag it back.
"Since that's the case, then let's begin!"
Hikaru also couldn't stand the opposing Charizard's contemptuous attitude anymore.
It was as if it didn't take his Charizard seriously at all.
His finger swiped across his wrist.
A bright light appeared on his Charizard, accompanied by the astonished gazes of the watching Charizard below.
After the unique colorful light of Mega Evolution disappeared, the Charizard (Hikaru's), which was originally the same size as its opponent, grew in size again. Its flamboyant black skin, imposing face, and fiercely burning blue flames all proclaimed its power.
