Shedinja VS Mega Charizard X

Golden-red flames swirled around Charizard like an inviolable domain, shielding both Charizard and Liao Xingchen from Shedinja's Calamity Power.

The Calamity Power, which had always been unstoppable, was blocked by a mysterious force. Shedinja naturally froze for a moment, while Lin Sen behind it revealed an unsurprised expression.

The intelligence had indeed been correct. Liao Xingchen's Charizard had already mastered Sacred Fire. Charizard was already immensely powerful, and with the power of Ho-Oh added on top of that, it was simply beyond the limits.

No wonder the other Pokémon Leagues had been willing to throw away all dignity just to keep Liao Xingchen and the others out of the World Championship. This guy was simply absurd.

Liao Xingchen was also startled by Shedinja's sudden burst of power, obvious shock coloring his features.

Why had Shedinja, not yet restored to its peak, been able to defeat Mega Venusaur so easily and almost instantly strip Wonder Garden of its Life Energy?

When Lin Sen had once studied the Shrines of the Four Calamities, he had mentioned a hypothesis to him.

After the Four Calamities Treasure were Imprisoned because of their excessively dangerous power, their strength would gradually be worn away within the seals.

Because its Calamity Power could not be stripped away, what he was facing now was a mid-Champion Level... Legendary Pokémon with Authority!

Liao Xingchen's expression immediately turned serious. Charizard, sharing a tacit understanding with him, sensed the shift in his state of mind and warily faced Shedinja.

Shedinja had lived for who knew how
