Chapter 382: The Targeted Charizard
Author: Samsung Charmander
"Swoosh"
The smoke from the gas explosion covered the entire Ice Field, obscuring all vision.
Just then, Abin suddenly gave an order, his voice brimming with confidence.
"Now, Weezing, use Toxic!!"
Following Weezing's movement, a low, muffled groan came from within the Haze the next second. It was Charizard's voice; it seemed the attack had hit.
"How is that possible? Without any line of sight..."
Ash was a bit bewildered.
"Haha, my Weezing is a Poison-type. Its eyes have no problem seeing in this kind of Haze." Abin smirked smugly. "While not all Poison-type Pokémon have this ability, I specifically trained my Weezing's mobility in Haze for these kinds of dirty tricks."
Seeing that the Haze had not yet dissipated, Abin pressed his attack:
"Weezing, use Venom Drench!"
"Charizard!"
But this time, Ash and Charizard were on alert. Inside the smoke, Charizard suddenly flapped its broad wings forcefully, quickly blowing away the cloud of Haze in front of it.
Just as it cleared, a large, purplish-black net flew into view, exuding a dense aura of poison.
"Roar!!"
Charizard had a fiery temper. It raised a Dragon Claw, from which four claws of white light now protruded, preparing to tear the purple net to shreds.
Slash!!
But upon seeing this, a shiver ran through Ash for no reason, and he quickly blurted out:
"Charizard, dodge it! Don't touch that net!"
"Roar?"
Although Charizard was confused, it had once made a pact with Ash to obey his commands in battle so they could achieve their greatest strength together. Ash's order meant it didn't dare be careless. It immediately chose to dispel the white light from its Dragon Claw, and with a beat of its wings, it flew upward, narrowly clearing the purple poison net.
"Damn, so close!"
Seeing this, Abin cursed inwardly and punched the air in front of him.
Soon, the black smoke from the gas explosion dissipated from the Ice Arena. The colorless, odorless mist of carbon monoxide made the audience feel a bit light-headed, as if slightly poisoned.
In mid-air, Charizard flapped its wings. Although its expression was fierce and resolute, a tinge of purple had already appeared on the skin around its nostrils.
Charizard was now poisoned.
This was from Weezing's surprise Toxic attack in the earlier black smoke.
"Beep. Venom Drench: When a target that is already poisoned comes into contact with the trap, its Attack, Special Attack, and Speed are simultaneously lowered," the Pokédex prompted.
Basically, it was an inverted version of Shell Smash.
Hearing this, Ash couldn't help but feel a secret sense of relief. If the poisoned Charizard had directly used its claws to slash the Venom Drench, the net would have been torn, but its body would have naturally come into contact with it, and the status debuff would have been applied.
"Still playing so dirty, Abin..."
Looking at the bald guy opposite him, who looked as if he'd already won the battle and was about to pop the champagne, Ash's gaze turned cold. This time, it was his turn to take the offensive.
With Charizard poisoned, he couldn't afford to waste time. The offensive had to be relentless!
"Charizard, use Flamethrower!!"
As the words fell, Charizard had already spewed a massive column of flame, its power so great that it scorched the ice surface below. Already ill-tempered, it hated this kind of opponent the most.
Abin, however, was unhurried. With a wave of his thumb, he commanded, "Weezing, we'll use Flamethrower too!"
Weezing also spat out a column of flame from its mouth. The two flames collided on the ice surface, but there was a significant difference in power. In less than a few seconds, Charizard's flame overpowered the other and pushed back toward its target.
Abin seemed to have expected this. He gave another order: "That's enough. Now, block it with Gyro Ball!"
As his voice fell, Weezing immediately closed its mouth, dispersing the flame. Its spherical body began to spin rapidly in mid-air, its surface glowing with a silver, metallic light.
"Pff!!"
The flame slammed entirely onto the Gyro Ball, shattering and scattering. It broke into smaller streams of fire that shot off toward the sky and the ice surface in several directions.
"Wuuu..."
After the Flamethrower attack dissipated, Weezing stopped spinning. It looked at Charizard with a dejected expression, as if it hadn't taken any damage.
"Damn it, does he have a perfect counter for Charizard's moves?" Ash clenched his fist, instantly understanding his opponent's strategy.
First, Weezing uses Flamethrower to weaken its power, then uses Gyro Ball to completely deflect the flame. It feels like this Pokémon was chosen specifically to counter my Charizard.
"Then let's see how many times you can block it!"
The fire of battle ignited in Ash's eyes once more. In the face of true strength, tricks like these are useless!
"Charizard, this time, use Fire Spin!!"
"Roar roar!"
Charizard roared and stretched its head forward. This time, the flame it spat out advanced in a spiral. As it reached the target, it spun up, forming a whirlpool that completely enveloped Weezing.
The range of the flames immediately expanded, soaring into the air. It quickly became a massive fire tornado, obscuring all vision.
"Wuuu?"
Weezing looked at the surrounding flames in confusion, unable to advance or retreat, only able to maintain its sad expression on the spot.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
Suddenly, the sound of something rapidly approaching reached its ears. It made Weezing shudder, and it warily surveyed the surrounding flames.
Outside, Charizard had charged directly into the flames. One of its hands was now clenched into a spike-like shape, covered in a dense layer of black energy. Its draconic eyes were locked onto the purple sphere looking around inside the fire.
If Weezing could lock onto a target in the black smoke, then Charizard could naturally lock onto a target within the flames!
"Wuuu!?"
The next second, before Weezing could react, a sudden, sharp pain erupted in its abdomen, as if it had been stabbed by something sharp. Its body caved in from the impact, and the terrifying force sent it flying out of the Fire Spin. It finally crashed heavily onto the ice surface like a cannonball, sending countless ice shards flying.
Throat Chop, a direct hit!
"Such incredible power..."
The splashed ice mist hit Abin in the face, and he couldn't help but gasp.
And within the Fire Spin, Charizard spread its wings and opened its draconic mouth. However, it wasn't to breathe fire, but to...
Swallow fire!
Charizard suddenly took a huge gulp of hot air. Its tooth-filled mouth was like a highly gravitational black hole, pulling all the flame energy from the surrounding fire tornado and sucking it into its belly.
In just a moment, the previously intense Fire Spin had completely dissipated from the ice surface. All that remained was a Charizard in the sky, its entire body a deep red color and still emitting steam. Its aura was terrifying.
Around its draconic mouth, intense flames roiled and surged.
Seeing this, Ash flipped his hat around and roared:
"Finish it in one move! Charizard, use Flamethrower with maximum power!!"
"ROAR ROAR ROAR!!"
Charizard could no longer contain the flame energy in its mouth. It opened its mouth and unleashed a pillar of golden flame. The temperature was extremely high, and a terrifying aura emanated from the flame's surface, instantly dispelling the chill of the Ice Arena. It shot straight toward the target, which had just started to float up from the ice surface.
Abin was also startled by this Flamethrower that was like a Hyper Beam. He immediately pointed a finger, his expression full of crafty mischief.
"Weezing, eat the Occa Berry you've been holding."
"Wuuu..."
Weezing didn't dare be careless. A red Berry flew out from some unknown part of its body, and with an open mouth, it swallowed it.
The next second, a strange light shone from Weezing's body, forming a protective film. Its resistance to fire was instantly maxed out, and it faced the flames with its sad expression.
Ash: "?"
Just how long has this bald guy been studying my Charizard?!
