"Enough. There's no need for all this talk. In a month, we'll let the results speak for themselves."
Chi Hong tossed a Poké Ball and summoned Charizard.
Charizard had fully recovered. The moment it emerged, it fixed its eyes on Zi JI, its opponent from a few days ago.
It stared at her with blazing eyes, seemingly eager for another exhilarating battle with her.
Chi Hong pointed at Di Qiu'er and Zi JI and said:
"Charizard, these two have become my Soul Rings. From now on, they're our companions."
Hearing that, Charizard turned toward Di Qiu'er and scratched its head in confusion.
Wasn't this that little golden lion from before? How had she suddenly taken human form?
And she was female, too. How boring. She wasn't nearly as imposing as she had been in beast form, and she didn't look eager to fight, either.
But when Charizard sensed her more carefully,
it discovered that Di Qiu'er also possessed the ultimate Solar Fire.
And she carried an immensely powerful Dragon-type aura.
No, wait. She was a formidable opponent!
Charizard instantly realized that Di Qiu'er had grown stronger and evolved.
As it was now, it could only contend with her after undergoing Mega Evolution through its trainer.
Excellent. An opponent like this was worth defeating!
Seeing the fighting spirit in Charizard's eyes, Chi Hong smiled.
"Don't get impatient, Charizard. It's not time to fight yet. First, train with this Golden-Eyed Black Dragon and learn as much as you can from him. In a month, you'll battle the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and settle who's stronger."
Chi Hong pointed at Di Tian.
Charizard turned to look at Di Tian.
Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back, terrifying dragon might radiating from his body as he displayed his imposing presence.
Charizard's breath caught.
