Chapter 381: Tearing Seafood Apart Alive
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
"Charizard, maintain Flamethrower and get in the air!"
Seeing the attack was now impossible to block, Ash immediately chose to temporarily evade its spearhead.
The attack power after a Shell Smash was too high; there was no need to clash with it head-on.
"Roar!"
Charizard nodded. While it continued to spew flames from its mouth, its wings gave a mighty flap, and its body soared upwards. The menacing five-hit Rock Blast only struck the ice near its feet, instantly smashing a massive crater into the field below. Its power was terrifying.
"Fwoosh fwoosh fwoosh!!"
The Flamethrower continued to stream out, now attacking from a new angle—top to bottom. This time, it shot toward its target unimpeded. Cloyster's brow furrowed. It didn't have time to fire a second Rock Blast and could only choose to clamp its shell shut, planning to tank the hit with its tough exterior.
What good was its increased speed after Shell Smash now?
Even if it could attack first, this was still the Flamethrower from the previous turn. Its priority was meaningless. One could only say that Charizard had the stamina to keep its fire going for so long.
"Fwoosh fwoosh!!"
The violent flames burst against Cloyster's shell, scattering as wild fire energy in all directions. The scorching flames and the powerful impact pushed Cloyster's entire body back half a meter.
"Sizzle..."
Many of the scattered flames even landed on the ice below. Ice and flame collided, instantly creating thick, white steam that billowed out, enveloping the entire arena.
"It shouldn't be a big problem."
Abin calmed himself slightly. Cloyster was a Water-type, so its resistance to fire was decent. Plus, with the protection of its shell, it should be able to withstand one more hit. Then, on the next turn, it could rely on its post-Shell Smash speed to attack first.
"Cloyster, once the attack is over, use Rock Bla—"
"CLANG!!"
Before Abin could finish his sentence, the sound of a stomp suddenly echoed from within the mist, as loud as colliding metal.
When the steam completely dissipated, the scene on the arena left everyone stunned.
On the ice, Cloyster stood with its shell clamped shut. A long, white scar was gouged into the ice in front of it.
And Charizard had already closed in on its target. One foot was planted on Cloyster's body, its own body bent downward. Its two hands gripped the two ends of the shell, its draconic claws digging deep into the seam as it pulled outwards.
"That's it! Pry its tortoise shell open for me!!"
Ash roared.
"ROAR!!"
As his words fell, Charizard also let out a furious roar. The muscles in its arms trembled, and it bared its teeth, continuously exerting force.
This scene not only stunned the audience, but it also stunned Abin. Who battles like this?!
"Crrrack..."
The sound of a seam splitting apart was heard.
Seeing the dark head within through the crack in the shell, Charizard put even more strength into it. This time, it forcefully pried Cloyster's shell completely open.
"Damn..."
"What a ferocious Charizard..."
"You don't even shuck oysters like that!"
All the spectators were dumbfounded by Charizard's unreasonably brutal act of tearing seafood apart alive.
"Cloy?"
The light streamed in, along with the ferocious and menacing appearance of the fire dragon right before it, leaving the Cloyster inside completely bewildered.
Seeing Charizard had already raised its head, the flame between its teeth about to surge forth, Abin quickly snapped back to his senses and shouted:
"Quick! Cloyster, use Liquidation!!"
"Cloy!!"
Cloyster immediately recovered, activating the speed advantage from Shell Smash. A blade of water instantly materialized on the spike on its head, rich with water energy. Although it was inwardly intimidated by Charizard, it didn't hesitate, striking first with an upward slash!
"Swish!"
Charizard tilted its head, and the Liquidation slashed past in a flash.
The next second, a bloody scratch several centimeters long appeared on the side of Charizard's cheek.
"Grr..."
Charizard didn't move its head. Its body froze in place. Its draconic eyes first shifted down to glance at the bloody mark on its cheek, then its gaze moved to the Cloyster below.
A drop of sweat instantly formed on Cloyster's head.
There was no movement, but that disdainful, arrogant gaze, the vast Dragon's Might, and the volcanic fury simmering in its eyes all caused Cloyster to freeze on the spot.
"Charizard, use Flamethrower!!"
Hearing Ash's voice, Charizard slowly moved its head, aiming its draconic mouth directly at Cloyster's inner body. The scorching flames between its teeth churned...
Abin shouted anxiously, "Cloyster, use Liquidation again!!"
But Cloyster didn't make a move.
It was paralyzed with fear.
The next second, Charizard opened its draconic mouth and unleashed a torrent of scorching Dragon Breath. It passed through the opened walls of the shell, roasting Cloyster's inner body without any obstruction.
"Tssssssss..."
The aroma of grilled seafood instantly wafted across the entire arena. Even the Referee couldn't help but lick his lips.
When the flames dissipated, Cloyster collapsed onto the ice, its whole body charred black, the smell rich and strong.
"That's just too cruel..."
"I can't believe watching a battle made me hungry."
"Just needs a little more minced garlic."
The Referee wiped his mouth before quickly announcing, "Cloyster is unable to battle! Charizard is the winner!"
"As expected, it's very strong."
Abin recalled his Cloyster, his eyes fixed on the Charizard in the middle of the arena, which was venting by shooting a pillar of flame into the sky. Soon, a smile appeared on his lips.
"But the formula has already been written. Today's victory is destined to be mine, Abin's!!"
Saying this, Abin let out a manic laugh and threw his second Poké Ball forward.
"Bang!"
Appearing on the arena was a Pokémon whose body was composed entirely of two spheres. It floated above the ice, its skin purple and cratered. Its expression was one of dejection, and on the skin below its mouth was the unsettling pattern of a skull and crossbones.
A smaller sphere was attached to the side of the larger one's body, and yellowish gas would occasionally spurt from the bumps on its skin.
"Beep. Weezing, the evolved form of Koffing. A Poison-type. Besides that, it's cute."
Hearing the Pokédex's introduction, Ash finally realized why this Pokémon looked so familiar. It was the evolved form of James's Koffing.
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Team Rocket in a long time. He wondered where they'd gone. How could they miss a golden opportunity like the League Conference to show up and perform their signature theatrics?
But now wasn't the time to be thinking about Team Rocket. Ash and Charizard quickly focused their minds on the Weezing before them.
A Poison-type. Looked like another dirty strategy was coming.
"Charizard, be careful. This guy's heart is filthy."
"Roar!"
Charizard nodded, its expression cautious.
As the battle began, Abin launched the first attack.
"Weezing, use Poison Gas!!"
"Wheeze~"
Weezing, with its sorrowful face, opened its mouth and spewed out a large cloud of greenish, hazy smoke that spread toward its target.
Seeing this, Charizard naturally didn't hold back, opening its mouth to unleash a scorching blaze, sweeping it towards the spreading Poison Gas.
Poison Gas, primarily composed of carbon monoxide and methane, is flammable.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!"
The gas made contact with the flame and instantly exploded, kicking up thick black smoke on the Ice Arena that immediately enveloped both Weezing and Charizard.
