May 4. Cloudy. Air quality: still carrying a restless hormonal aftertaste.
Under the large tree beside the guesthouse, Gary's Charizard was sparring with Lance's Charizard.
With the boost from Mega Evolution, Young Master Mao's Charizard looked poised to topple a superior opponent.
With a black body and blue flames, Charizard actually managed to pin Lance's Charizard down and pummel it for a while.
Still, Gary had to admit there was a gap. After all, his Charizard had been battling for less than two years, and its fundamentals were not solid enough.
Even with the boost from Mega Evolution, it could only barely gain the upper hand, not completely suppress its opponent.
"Charizard, Dragon Pulse!" Clair seized an opening and suddenly attacked.
Gary's Charizard, which had been fighting at close quarters, was blasted far away by a dragon-shaped pulse.
"Roar!" After scrambling up from the ground, Gary's Charizard rose with a panting roar.
Boom! Blue flames shot skyward from its tail, and its eyes turned scarlet.
"Raaawr! (Ura!)" Violent flames erupted around Gary's Charizard as it entered full rampage mode.
Gary's Charizard: (ꐦÒ‸Ó) I'm not afraid to die. Are you?!
"Now!" Gary suddenly thrust out his right hand, green Viridian Force flashing in his palm.
Humm~ Soothed by the Viridian Force, Charizard's eyes gradually cleared.
Charizard examined its body in some surprise, then clenched both fists. Power, endless power. This feels amazing!
"Whew... whew..." Young Master Mao took a couple of heavy breaths. Using Viridian Force to put out the fire, on top of the drain Mega Evolution placed on a Trainer's stamina, was really no joke.
Maybe I should have a couple of sips of that secret remedy Granny Yao gave me tonight?
"Charizard, let's settle this! Use Flare Blitz!" Clair truly lived up to her status as Lance's fangirl.
