Chapter 32: Hurry Up, I Want to See a Steamroll!
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
"It still has its Dragon-type, huh?"
Seeing that Flare Blitz hadn't dealt a fatal blow to the giant Dragonite, Red recalled that Dragon-types naturally resisted Fire-type moves.
He began to contemplate his next move.
It was common knowledge that a larger body meant more health.
If he continued using Flare Blitz, his Charizard might knock itself out from the recoil before the opponent went down.
And this giant Dragonite wasn't just a motionless target. It raised its head, and a pillar of blue water suddenly spewed from its massive draconic 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 high-pressure water pump!
WHOOSH—BOOM!!
The water pillar carried an immense force, enough to shatter a small mountain.
It even carved an exaggerated trench across the surface of the sea below, trailing long ripples as if the very air had been shattered, shooting straight for its target.
"Charizard!"
Red gave no command, but his Pokémon already understood. Facing the terrifying pillar of water many times larger than itself, it remained 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 its 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 wing 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 size 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 to reel back.
"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 stun from the heavy blow, the pair of small wings on its back began to flap.
WHOOSH—WHOOSH!!
A massive storm 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 to stay airborne within the storm.
"Don't lose to it! Use Heat Wave!" Red shouted.
Charizard's draconic 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 cyan shield—the move Protect—had already materialized around the Pokémon, a sign of its absolute defense.
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 as the ocean churned as if it were the apocalypse, and that man, standing motionless on Pidgeot's back, the trio on the shore was 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 end in a draw with Hurricane?*
It seemed Charizard's strength had indeed dropped significantly after coming to this world.
Was it nerfed by a version update?
Or did it need to be retrained?
"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 HP."
There was no other way. This giant Dragonite's HP was 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 these flashy moves. Hurry up, I want to see a steamroll!"
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 seat!
Red: "..."
*Maybe I should just take this opportunity to occupy his body permanently and not give it back...?*
"Hey, hey, Brother Red, our minds are linked right now, I can sense your thoughts. You're actually planning to—"
The sudden voice made Red jump. He couldn't believe he'd 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 possess 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: "..."
*GAN!* (A curse)
But since he wanted to see a steamroll, 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 Pokémon, the Poké Ball trembled slightly and simply 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 it was designed to endure.
Ash: "?"
*Hey, that's going too far!*
*That giant Dragonite still has at least half of its HP 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. Weld the doors shut."
The next second, a blue light of ultimate intensity shot out from that Poké Ball.
The terrifying pressure that appeared in an instant made everyone except Red gasp, their backs drenched in cold sweat.
The area for several thousand meters around fell into an eerie 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 psychic energy, as if sentient, zeroed in on its target. It locked the Poké Ball, which was about to burst, in 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, capture successful.
Ash: "?"
The others: "?"
This is a steamroll!?
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 one time," 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 Pokémon in the PC 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 wills with Brother Red.
However, the first thing he did was look at the Poké Ball Red had last touched, wondering what kind of sacred being was sealed inside that could directly weld a Poké Ball's doors shut.
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. Filthy."
This made Ash's fingers stop in mid-air. Filthy?
At that moment, Red's voice slowly drifted over:
"Don't touch him. That guy is a mental mysophobe. To him, anything he hasn't acknowledged is filthy."
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 plumage, his face full of envy. He couldn't help but pull out his Pokédex for a scan.
"Beep, beep. Pidgeot. Nickname: Tool Pidgeot. Pokémon 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: "?"
