Pokémon Heart Journey

Chapter 281: Fierce Battle (4)

"Roar--!"

It roared and exerted force, throwing the pterosaur backward. The airflow was reversed, and a brief crack was torn in the tailwind.

Sundae didn't even blink when he saw this and continued to command: "Air Slash!"

The pterosaur leaned back, its wings blazing with incandescent blades as it flipped over. Using the centrifugal force of the rotation, it slashed horizontally. The air shrieked like silk, and two arcing blades of light crossed in an "X," striking the Charizard's chest and abdomen.

Xiaozhi almost shouted at the same time: "Jet Fire!"

The Charizard's chest bulged, blue flames swirling deep in its throat. The next second, a spiraling column of fire erupted. The blazing white flames collided with the stone blade in mid-air, exploding into a fiery cloud.

Before the smoke had cleared, Sundae gave the order again: "Rockfall!"

The fossil pterosaur flapped its wings, and dozens of jagged rocks condensed from the air and fell down with a sharp sound of breaking wind.

"Up! Use air slash!" Xiaozhi's command was short and powerful.

The fire-breathing dragon flapped its wings fiercely, its black-gold body rising from the ground. Two crescent-shaped air blades shot out from its wings, slicing and exploding the first three boulders that had fallen. The debris and the air waves intertwined, and the fire-breathing dragon emerged from the gap created by the explosion.

"Use Dragon Claw!" Xiaozhi raised his hand and pointed.

The Charizard swooped down, its claws glowing indigo once more. The Pterosaur didn't shy away, a hint of ferocity flashing in its already crimson eyes. It folded its wings, its entire body transforming into a silver-gray meteorite, and Iron Head launched another attack!

boom! !

The entire venue trembled at the third head-on collision. The shockwave sent debris flying like shotgun shells, and those in the front rows couldn't help but raise their hands to shield themselves. The Charizard and the Pterosaur were each sent flying backwards, leaving two long trails in the air.

The moment it landed, Charizard knelt on one knee, its chest heaving violently, and its dark blue body was covered with scratches; the Pterosaur did not get the upper hand either, a piece of stone blade broke off the edge of its left stone wing, and for the first time, a solemn look appeared in its scarlet pupils.

Sundae raised his hand, his voice still calm: "Original power."

The pterosaur raised its head and roared. A gigantic stone shadow appeared behind it. Ancient energy condensed around it, forming dozens of sharp stone spears, each flashing with ancient ferocity. The next moment, a volley of stone spears erupted!

"Use a smokescreen!"

The fire-breathing dragon flapped its wings violently, and a cloud of thick black smoke erupted from its mouth, instantly covering half the field. The stone spear pierced the smoke, but lost its aim, with most of it piercing the ground, triggering a series of explosions. The remainder grazed the fire-breathing dragon's body, leaving several bloody streaks in its wake.

Amidst the black smoke, the fire-breathing dragon lowered its body, wings tucked close to its sides, using the smoke screen as cover to scuttle low over the ground. Its breath was as hot as fire, and its pupils lit up in the darkness like two clusters of ghostly blue flames.

Sundae narrowed his eyes slightly, and the tailwind tore an imperceptible gap in the smoke, causing the airflow in one place to change slightly. This was immediately noticed by the fossil pterosaur, the ancient overlord, and he instantly revealed a sharp look.

During this time, after constant interaction with the pterosaur, Sundae was able to immediately sense the pterosaur's thoughts and shouted, "Use Iron Head!"

Almost at the moment the command came out, the Charizard burst out of the smoke, its claws raised high - but it was met with the silver-gray head of the fossil pterosaur that was circling towards it!

boom! !

The iron head hit the Charizard's jaw, flipping it over. The Charizard rolled twice in the air and fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The audience burst into exclamations.

Xiaozhi also clenched his fists and looked at Charizard nervously.

In the dust, Charizard struggled to hold up its upper body, a line of blue flame spilling from the corner of its mouth, but it roared again. The flames of its tail surged with anger, burning and distorting the surrounding air.

Xiaozhi's hat brim had already tilted from the impact, and sweat dripped down his chin. He took a deep breath, his voice hoarse but firm: "...One more time, Dragon Claw."

"Roar--!"

The fire-breathing dragon slammed its claws against the ground, leveraging the momentum to leap upwards, its black-gold body leaving a shadow in the air. This time, it didn't dive, but charged straight ahead like a flaming arrow!

Sundae raised his hand: "Rockfall, block the sky!"

The pterosaur flapped its wings, and a new rock mass formed in mid-air, smashing towards Charizard like a cage. However, Charizard's speed exceeded its limit at this moment—it forced its way through the gap just before the rock mass closed!

The indigo blade of the dragon claw drew a final arc in the setting sun.

boom! !

Stone chips and blue flames exploded simultaneously. The Mega Fossil Pterosaur was struck squarely in the sternum, its massive body sent flying backwards, slamming heavily into the protective wall at the edge of the field. The wall cracked under the impact, sending rubble cascading down.

The fossilized pterosaur slid down the protective wall, its obsidian armor shattering completely, revealing the grayish-white stone texture within. It struggled briefly, its crimson pupils dimming, and it exited its mega form.

The referee raised the red flag high: "The Fossil Pterosaur loses its ability to fight! The Charizard wins!"

Xiaozhi lowered his trembling arms, and Charizard slowly descended from the air, kneeling on one knee, his chest heaving violently. Its black scales gleamed with the luster of blood and fire in the setting sun.

Seeing Xiaozhi's actions, Sundae realized that she had successfully forced him into a desperate situation. This also made her gradually lose the tension she felt at the beginning of the battle. However, her hands did not stop moving, and she directly released the last Pokémon.

"Go ahead, Iron Track!"

The heavy metal thuds hit everyone's eardrums like a hammer. The moment the track landed, the sunlight reflected its steel shell, a cold white, like a sword unsheathed. Its four tracks carved four straight tracks into the gravel. Steam hissed out from the exhaust vents on either side of its back, carrying the smell of burning rust.

"The tracks of Sundae's Paradox Pokémon have appeared!"

There was a huge discussion in the audience immediately, and the most lively one was in one area where people from the aristocratic academy were sitting.

"I didn't expect Miss Sundae to have a Paradox Pokémon!"

"As expected of Miss Sundae, if you keep this up, you're sure to win!"

"With her ability, she might even become the champion!"

Listening to the discussions of his classmates around him, Mu stared down with a tight gaze, his mind full of thoughts.

Has he become this powerful? It feels like he's no longer from the same world as us.

You know, Mu's strength in the academy was not much different from Shengdai's, but now the difference in combat power between the two sides is too obvious.

"Maybe it's time for me to go out and travel and gain some experience." As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a gentle force on his shoulder. Mu immediately turned his head and found that the principal was looking at him kindly.

The other party didn't say much, but nodded in agreement at Mu.

Before the referee's flag was waved, Xiaozhi had already squatted down, stretched out his palm, and under his palm, an invisible ripple was spreading in all directions.

Under the perception of the waveguide, the black and gold scales of the Charizard were as hot as a piece of red-hot iron, but it could not stop shaking. The cracks of the invisible rock, the severe damage to the iron head, and the fractures of the bones caused by the recoil of the dragon claws all turned into severe pain at this moment and surged back into his nerves.

"...Can we still fight?" Xiaozhi asked in a low voice.

The Charizard didn't look back, but just raised its tail flame high in the air, like a beacon that refused to go out.
