Chapter 503: The Third Challenge Ends
The trainers who had challenged them in the past rarely made it to the third wave.
Even if they did, they mostly took a direct, forceful approach.
That is, a contest of physical strength or a direct clash of flames.
In that way, even if they lost, it would have been a酣畅淋漓 (hearty and satisfying) battle.
But now, it only felt aggrieved.
Although there was a confrontation of flames, and it had even won by a slight margin, the opponent's demeanor didn't make it feel like it had won.
Could it be that it's just putting on a brave front?
After dodging a pillar of fire, it once again sized up Charizard (Hikaru's) and found that there was really no problem at all.
Dragging things on like this was not a solution; it had to go all out.
With a violent fluctuation of some kind of energy, the sunlight in the sky intensified once more.
It was almost so bright that one couldn't open their eyes. If you were to test it with a thermometer here, you would see that the air temperature was now close to seventy or eighty degrees.
That's right, it had also used the weather move—Sunny Day.
The stacking of two Sunny Days from two Charizard made the flame energy in their bodies feel like it was about to boil. Under such circumstances, a Charizard with Solar Power would feel its internal organs being scorched as long as it used a Fire-type move.
At the same time, the power of the flames they spewed became even more formidable.
Hikaru looked at the opposing Charizard with surprise, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. A Sunny Day of this intensity could probably last until the next round.
And this change also made him realize that the opposing Charizard was about to get serious.
"Charizard, do the same as it, use Burn Up!"
The vibrations caused by the surging energy on the ground forced Hikaru to summon Garchomp and ride it up into the sky.
He could no longer stay on the ground.
The Charizard that had just been watching the show also changed their expressions. They hadn't expected the final confrontation to turn out like this.
Two Elite Four-level Charizard using Burn Up at the same time, the entire circular platform, the size of a football field, was instantly torn apart.
Scalding hot lava surged from beneath the ground, and the violent energy waves made some of the circular platforms ripple like the surface of water. The pillars of fire shooting out from them and the splashing lava now all landed on the two stationary Charizard.
At this moment, the three strongest Charizard perched on the highest level finally moved.
Nonsense, if they didn't control the energy fluctuations caused by the two Charizard, the volcano in this Charicific Valley was probably going to erupt.
At that time, if the boss was drawn out, it would not be easy to clean up the mess.
However, they only landed nearby, merely controlling the flow of the lava.
After all, the battle between the two Charizard was not over yet.
Looking back at the field, the Burn Up from the two Charizard was still in a stalemate.
Due to the high temperature of the dancing flames, the rolling lava, and the激发 of energy, the lava would sometimes create waves and then crash onto the bodies of the two Charizard.
This was pure natural lava, with a temperature of several thousand degrees.
Although they could use their own flame energy to assimilate this lava, now, under the Sunny Day, using fire energy felt like being burned alive.
The opposing Charizard was suffering but couldn't say a word.
More importantly, apart from the stalemate, the white flames were actually showing signs of activity in this lava.
Uncomfortable, it was simply too uncomfortable.
Under these circumstances, the scales of victory gradually tipped in favor of Charizard (Hikaru's).
In just a minute or two, the sunlight was still fierce, but the opposing Charizard staggered, finally appearing weak due to internal injuries and external exhaustion.
And this slightest sign of weakness was instantly seized by Hikaru. "Charizard, Fire Blast!"
Even though both were Elite Four-level Charizard, maintaining a big move like Burn Up was a huge drain on their internal energy.
Hikaru's Charizard was fine, equipped with various recovery skills.
The opposing Charizard's internal energy had long been seven-tenths or eight-tenths depleted.
Now, seeing the Fire Blast again, although the spirit was willing, the flesh was weak. It could only watch helplessly as the Fire Blast landed on its body.
The second before it lost consciousness, there was only one thought in its mind.
Why does this fellow of my kind have the Solar Power ability, yet it isn't affected by its backlash?
...
"Phew..."
Watching the Charizard being carried away again, Hikaru breathed a sigh of relief.
The third match was passed without any surprises or dangers.
Moreover, his Charizard didn't consume too much of its stamina.
This result was very good.
Then for the fourth challenge to come, Hikaru turned his gaze to the three Charizard who were repairing the circular platform nearby.
They first guided the overflowing lava back, then absorbed the residual flames on top.
Although the remaining stone blocks were also burned red hot, and there were some signs of melting, the entire field was left in a mess by the battle between the two Charizard. There were cracks all over the middle, which the Charizard had barely stuck together with flames.
It seemed that after one or two more times, it definitely couldn't be used for battle anymore.
Hikaru wasn't in a hurry. He took this opportunity to let his Charizard recover a bit.
Although its recovery ability was very fast, it still needed a minute or two to return to its peak state.
Besides, the Charizard he would face next might be at the peak of the Elite Four, or even a Champion-level Charizard.
With such intensity, he might even have to use Mega Evolution.
Relaxing, Hikaru turned his gaze to Sakura and Latias below the platform.
Just one look, and he found it somewhat amusing.
While he was fighting heatedly up here, she had summoned her Noivern and Slowking down below.
Slowking created a water mist, which then fell on Noivern. And thus, a simple version of a fan was created!
Noivern's large wings covered the scorching sun and fanned slowly.
A cool water mist fell on her body.
He had to say, it was quite clever.
But even so, the young girl's cheeks were flushed red from the heat.
"Big brother~ come down."
Seeing that Hikaru was temporarily free, Sakura called out.
Hikaru glanced at the circular platform. Seeing that the three Charizard seemed to be busy for a while longer, he planned to have Garchomp go down first. "Let's go, little shark, we're going down."
But after calling out, he realized that this little shark... should be called a big shark now.
But Hikaru still liked to call it little shark.
It was still in a dazed state, clearly shocked by the Charizard just now.
Helplessly, Hikaru had no choice but to pat its head. The latter then recovered as if waking from a dream and landed on the ground.
After coming down, Hikaru said teasingly, "I feel like your head is about to emit smoke."
It was just that the current Sakura looked a bit cute.
On her beautiful face, there were two dimple-like blushes.
