Capítulo 842: Flames
Led by Lysandre, Yuga and Malva arrived at an open space outside the research institute.
Looking at Malva across from him, Yuga speculated that she must have some understanding of the Team Flare's core, but he didn't know to what extent.
Releasing his Charizard, Yuga put the Mega Evolution Bracelet on his wrist, while handing the Charizard's Mega Evolution Stone to Charizard.
As soon as the Mega Evolution Bracelet was worn, a system alert sounded in Yuga's mind.
[ Reminder to the host, a monitor has been installed on the host's equipment. ]
So, they were waiting for me here! Yuga thought to himself.
He knew Lysandre wouldn't easily trust him.
With the holographic image communication technology at his disposal, it was too easy to install a monitor on the Mega Evolution Bracelet.
"Can you deal with this monitor?" Yuga calmly asked the system.
[ No problem, I can conceal the monitor and even send false information to the other party. ]
"Very well!"
Hearing this, Yuga felt reassured. His golden finger truly lived up to its reputation.
But it seemed that being an undercover agent wasn't easy.
At the same time, Malva across from them released her Pokémon, a Houndoom.
...
Type: Dark, Fire
Ability: Flash Fire
Gender: Male
Potential: Blue
Level: 73
Moves: Leer, Ember, Roar, Howl, Smog, Odor Sleuth, Flamethrower, Faint Attack, Foul Play, Fire Spin, Crunch, Nasty Play, Inferno, Sunny Day, Taunt, Shadow Ball, Double Team, Fire Blast, Overheat, Snarl, Dark Pulse, Sludge Bomb, Sunny Day.
...
For Charizard, this Houndoom was truly a formidable opponent.
Just its Flash Fire ability alone made Charizard helpless.
The Mega Evolution Stone for Charizard that Lysandre gave Yuga was Y, resulting in Mega Charizard Y, which excelled in fire attacks, rather than the Dragon-type X.
Fire attacks were just a source of power for Pokémon with the Flash Fire ability.
Moreover, Mega Charizard Y's ability Drought would also be useless.
Under sunny weather, the power of fire moves increased, but this posed no threat to Houndoom with its Flash Fire ability.
Furthermore, the opponent was also a Fire-type Pokémon.
However, Yuga's Charizard wasn't lacking in confidence either, and it was hard to say who would win or lose.
Moreover, Houndoom's ability would change after it Mega Evolved.
Yuga had not failed to notice the dazzling Mega Evolution Stone hanging around Malva's Houndoom's neck.
Upon seeing the Houndoom across from them, Charizard let out a roar and slowly ascended into the air, flapping its wings.
Having spent over two years in Arus, the Charizard that used to cry easily was no longer quick to shed tears, at least not in front of strangers.
The Charizard that had been baptized in blood had a complete advantage in terms of aura compared to the Houndoom in front of it.
"Charizard, say hello with Dragon Pulse."
Once both sides were prepared, Yuga and Charizard launched their attack first.
Charizard opened its mouth and released a blue, dragon-shaped energy down towards the Houndoom below.
"Houndoom, let's greet them with Dark Pulse."
Malva appeared composed and leisurely gave her command to Houndoom.
Both were Fire-type Pokémon, and they had the mutual understanding not to use Fire-type moves.
The collision between the black ring-shaped energy and the blue dragon-shaped energy resulted in a fierce explosion, with neither side gaining an advantage.
Charizard was level 71, while the opposing Houndoom was level 73; Charizard had a Indigo potential, while the Houndoom had blue potential.
Simply from a data perspective, their strengths were almost evenly matched, so their clash of skills ended in a draw.
Through this skill exchange, both sides roughly gauged the strength of Charizard.
"Let's stop probing and move on to the main course," Malva shouted loudly, brandishing a Key Stone towards Yuga.
Yuga was eager to see Charizard's strength after Mega Evolution, so he nodded and extended his wrist with the Mega Evolution Bracelet containing the Key Stone.
A dazzling light simultaneously illuminated both sides of the battlefield as Houndoom and Charizard began their Mega Evolutions.
Lysandre watched with keen interest as the Mega Evolution light filled the arena, finding it rather exhilarating.
When the Mega Evolution light dissipated, the appearance of both Pokémon underwent significant changes.
The originally fierce-looking Houndoom became even more menacing, with sharp bone armor encasing its shoulders, chest, and back, and two curved horns jutting high from its head.
Houndoom, which was initially shorter than Malva's chest, now stood a full head taller than her, exuding an intimidating presence.
In contrast to the menacing Houndoom, Mega Charizard Y looked much more elegant.
Compared to before, Charizard's body had become more slender, and its head now sported three horns instead of two. While its height hadn't changed significantly, it gave off an inexplicable sense of security.
Charizard silently flapped its elongated, broader wings, its gaze sharp, and the temperature of its body began to rise rapidly.
Unnoticed by others, a faint light flashed on Charizard's belly, and the crimson flames on its tail turned milky white, to Yuga's astonishment.
Seeing this milky white flame, Yuga thought of Ho-Oh.
Charizard activated the power of the Red Gem, similar to the flames of Ho-Oh.
However, the Red Gem had been swallowed whole by Charizard, and Yuga had no idea to what extent it had developed.
As Charizard quietly gathered power, Houndoom on the opposite side activated Sunny Day.
Its ability was Solar Power, which required sunny weather to take effect.
When Solar Power was active, attacks from this Pokémon would become more ferocious, as they received a special attack boost. However, they would also continuously lose HP. If the battle didn't end quickly, they would eventually deplete their own health.
Although abilities could be activated voluntarily, they couldn't be immediately turned off during battle.
As expected, with Solar Power in effect, Houndoom opened its mouth and unleashed a series of Dark Pulses.
Empowered by the special attack boost, Houndoom's Dark Pulses were in a league of their own.
Charizard was agile, flapping its wings gracefully to easily evade one Dark Pulse after another.
Houndoom sought a swift resolution, while Charizard opted for a more deliberate approach.
High-frequency movement was energy-consuming, but Charizard, while evading effortlessly, seemed entirely unfazed and not at all fatigued.
Yuga knew that Ho-Oh's flames were known as "Sacred Flames." Charizard inherited some of this characteristic as it drew upon Ho-Oh's flames.
While it lacked the ability to resurrect the dead like Ho-Oh, Charizard's physical stamina and recovery abilities had been greatly enhanced. It paid little heed to this minor expenditure of energy.
Another Dark Pulse was unleashed head-on, and this time, Charizard chose to confront it directly.
The clash between Dark Pulse and Dragon Pulse sent shockwaves through the area, rustling the nearby vegetation.
Despite the frequent release of numerous Dark Pulses, Houndoom on the opposite side showed no signs of exhaustion.
