Chapter 32: Hurry Up, I Want to See an Overwhelming Victory!
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander
"It still has its Dragon-type, huh?"
Seeing that Flare Blitz hadn't dealt a fatal blow to the giant Dragonite, Red noted that the Dragon Type naturally had a Resistance to the Fire Type.
He began to contemplate his next move.
It was common sense that a larger Physique meant more health.
If he continued using Flare Blitz, his Charizard might knock itself out from the recoil before the opponent went down.
And the giant Dragonite wasn't just a motionless Living Target. It raised its head, and a pillar of blue water suddenly spewed from its massive Dragon's Mouth.
A normal Hydro Pump would be impressive if its diameter was two meters, but this pillar of water was nearly ten meters wide!
A true Hydro Pump!
WHOOSH—BOOM!!
The water pillar carried the force of a thousand tons, enough to shatter a small mountain.
It even carved an exaggerated trench across the Sea Surface below, trailing long ripples as if the very Air had been smashed apart, shooting straight for its target.
"Charizard!"
Red gave no command, but his Pokémon already understood. Facing the terrifying pillar of water that was many times larger than itself, it was unfazed. With a tilt of its Wings, it shot off to the side.
SWOOSH!
Charizard's body skimmed right alongside the water pillar, yet it wasn't touched by a single drop. It circled the torrent, rapidly closing the distance to the source—the giant Dragonite.
"ROAR!!"
The giant Dragonite began to slowly turn its head. Instantly, the ten-meter-wide water pillar followed, threatening to completely engulf Charizard.
"Charizard, use Steel Wing!" Red commanded again.
At his word, Charizard's Wings instantly glowed with a metallic Light. Instead of retreating, it advanced, cleaving one of its Wings horizontally into the approaching water pillar.
CLANG!!
Using the rebound, Charizard once again pulled away.
It had now arrived five meters in front of the Dragonite.
At this moment, their difference in Physique was like that of a behemoth and a flea.
From a distance, a blinding white metallic Light suddenly flared up from somewhere on the giant Dragonite's neck.
The White Light shot skyward, striking the massive creature directly under its chin.
Charizard's pair of Wings had transformed into steel as it rocketed upward!
CLANG!!
A dull, heavy sound like a metal explosion rang out, forcing the giant Dragonite's head back in a tactical retreat.
"ROAR!!"
The giant Dragonite shook its massive head, and the water splashing from its face fell like a torrential downpour.
Its gaze sharpened. Forcibly suppressing the stunning blow to its head, the pair of small Wings on its back began to flap.
WHOOSH—WHOOSH!!
A storm of immense proportions instantly began to rage.
The terrifying Hurricane completely enveloped Charizard's tiny figure, forcing it back again and again. Stiffening its Wings, it could only struggle within the storm.
"Don't lose to it, use Heat Wave!" Red shouted.
Charizard's dragonic eyes widened in fury. It powerfully spread its broad Wings, and the heat radiating from its fiery red skin began to rise.
FWOOSH!!
Turning the tables from within the storm, Charizard forced a gust of Heat Wave, scattered with countless embers, against the wind. It actually managed to push back the giant Dragonite's seemingly ferocious Hurricane, reaching a stalemate in the Sky.
The Hurricane and Heat Wave continued to clash. Red, sheltered by Pidgeot, was unharmed.
A green protective shield, a sign of absolute defense, had already lit up around Pidgeot—it was the Move Protect.
However, the three people below were not faring so well. They were dizzy from the fierce winds and the sudden downpour.
Watching the two Pokémon continue their confrontation, the Ocean churning as if it were the apocalypse.
And then there was that man, standing motionless on Pidgeot's back. The three of them were shocked to an unbelievable degree.
"Just what level of Battle is this..." Bill muttered.
The storm dissipated.
Red frowned, thinking to himself, *So Heat Wave can only match Hurricane?*
It seemed his Charizard's Strength had indeed dropped significantly after coming to this World.
Was it weakened by a version update?
Or did it need to be retrained from a later stage?
"If only I still had my Key Stone..." Red sighed.
The Mega Stone that Charizard carried was still on it, but his own Key Stone was gone. He couldn't use Mega Evolution to further Increase its Strength.
"In that case, I'll start by using Dragon Claw to whittle down its health."
There was no other way. This giant Dragonite's Health Points (HP) were just too thick; he could only chip away at it.
Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly echoed in Red's mind, its tone passionate and excited.
"Hey, hey, Brother Red, stop with all this fancy stuff. Hurry up, I want to see an Overwhelming Victory!"
Although his body had been taken over, Ash's consciousness was still lucid.
At this moment, it was like he was watching a 4D movie from a first-person perspective, completely immersed.
It was the ultimate VIP Audience Seating!
Red: "..."
*Maybe I should just take this opportunity to occupy his body permanently and not give it back...?*
"Hey, hey, Brother Red, we have Spirit Sharing right now, I can sense your thoughts. You're actually planning to—"
The sudden voice made Red jump. How had he carelessly let his inner thoughts slip out?
What should he do? Would this cause the Youth named Ash to become suspicious and create a rift between them?
Red started to panic.
"Haha, I've been wanting you to try and pull a Body Snatching on me! In fact, don't give it back willingly afterward. This time, it'll be my turn to forcibly take you over!"
The Ash in his Soul laughed heartily, his tone arrogant.
"We should have had a proper clash long ago!"
Red: "..."
*This kid...*
But since he wanted to see an Overwhelming Victory, Red supposed he could grant Ash's request.
He then abruptly recalled Charizard into its Poké Ball.
Ash panicked and quickly reminded him:
"Brother Red, my body might be tough, but I definitely can't beat it in a fistfight!"
Red's brow furrowed tightly. He really wanted to pry his own skull open to see if it was filled with nothing but deadlocks.
"Quiet. Watch me work."
With that, Red lightly tossed a new Poké Ball.
Just when everyone thought Red was about to release another powerful Pokemon.
The Poké Ball trembled slightly and just floated gently in front of the giant Dragonite.
Then, before the creature's bewildered expression, the Poké Ball suddenly opened. A red light, expanding countless times in an instant, covered it, slowly sucking the behemoth into the ball with a "whir-whir-whir" sound.
It was just an empty Poké Ball.
Clearly, this Poké Ball was bearing a shape far beyond what its age should have to endure.
Ash: "?"
*Hey, that's going too far!*
*That giant Dragonite still has at least half of its Hit Points left! What's the deal with just throwing a ball? Are you some kind of One-Throw Man?*
Just then, Red suddenly touched another Poké Ball on his waist and said slowly:
"I'm counting on you. Secure the Lockdown."
The next second, a blue light of ultimate intensity shot out from that Poké Ball.
The terrifying oppressive force that appeared in an instant made everyone except Red gasp for breath, their backs drenched in cold sweat.
The area for several thousand meters around fell into a strange silence.
Even the constantly churning Ocean seemed to have frozen solid.
"Did some kind of monster just come out?!"
This thought simultaneously appeared in the minds of the trio on the shore.
But soon, the oppressive force that covered the entire field vanished.
The blue light of Telekinesis, as if sentient, aimed for its target, locking the Poké Ball that was about to burst into a tight Void Deadlock.
"Bzz, bzz..."
The Poké Ball just floated in Mid-air, trembling violently.
After three seconds, the Poké Ball stopped shaking and floated gently back into Red's hand.
Giant Dragonite, Catch successful.
Ash: "?"
The crowd: "?"
This is an Overwhelming Victory!?
Coach, I want to learn this Move!!
A slight smile played on Red's lips. He once again touched the Poké Ball at his waist and said:
"Thanks for your hard work. Good thing I brought you along this time."
"Don't ask me to do that again. It's filthy."
A deep voice, tinged with dissatisfaction, sounded in Red's mind.
It startled Ash in the Soul Space, who looked left and right, thinking he had awakened a third personality.
"Just this once," Red replied slowly, humbly admitting his fault with a sincere attitude.
But he would dare to do it again next time.
"The rest is up to you, Ash."
With that, Red returned control of the body to Ash, afraid the latter would want to "clash" with him again.
"Remember to deposit my Pokemon back in the Computer for me."
"Am I back...?"
Ash opened his eyes and found that he had regained control of his body.
He was a little disappointed that he hadn't been able to clash his Willpower against Brother Red's.
However, the first thing he did was look at the Poké Ball Red had last touched, wondering what kind of Deity was sealed inside that could directly secure the lockdown on a Poké Ball.
Through the Poké Ball, he could sense an extremely dangerous presence within.
Just as he was about to touch it, the deep voice echoed in his mind again.
"Don't touch me. You're filthy."
This made Ash's fingers stop in Mid-air. Filthy?
At that moment, Red's voice slowly drifted over:
"Don't touch it. That guy has a Mental Purity Obsession. Anything it hasn't acknowledged is filthy to it."
Hearing this, Ash could only withdraw his arm in disappointment, piloting the Pidgeot beneath him back down to the Ground.
"Tsk tsk, so this is the Evolved Form of my Pidgeotto, huh? So cool!"
He rubbed his face against Pidgeot's magnificent and soft Mane, his face full of envy. He couldn't help but pull out his Pokedex for a scan.
"Pokedex Beep. Pidgeot, Nickname: Tool Pidgeot, is the Pokemon of Trainer: Green."
"Moves: Fly, Defog, Protect, Tailwind, Rain Dance, Reflect..."
Ash: "!"
*So this is the learning path for the Pidgeot line.*
*I'm enlightened!*
Pidgeot: "?"
