Pokémon: Master System.

While Leaf Storm is incredibly powerful, it significantly reduces the user's Special Attack.

"It's your turn, Charizard!"

Chapter 296 Wave Impact

Xia Yu recalled Sceptile and replaced it with Charizard.

Although Charizard, which is a dual-type Fire/Flying Pokémon, is weak to the Water-type Dolphin, it's worth noting that Dolphin cannot learn any Rock-type moves.

This effectively eliminates a weakness that is four times weaker, thus significantly reducing the threat to Charizard.

Of course, Dolphin's Water-type STAB moves still have a certain advantage against Charizard, but Water-type moves are weakened in sunny weather, which can also protect Charizard well.

"Mega Evolution, Charizard!"

Without hesitation, Xia Yu immediately chose to Mega Evolve Charizard. A white light enveloped Charizard's body, and it completed its Mega Evolution in the blink of an eye.

The key to Dolphin Man's battle against Charizard is the weather; gaining the weather advantage means you've already won half the battle.

"Roar!"

With Charizard's roar, its Solar Prowess activated, and Fire-type energy spread outward, dispelling the dark clouds in the sky and tearing open a gap.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the field. The rain gradually stopped, and the weather turned sunny.

…………

"Here it comes, Xia Yu's other ace Pokémon, Charizard. Through past battles, we can easily see that after Charizard Mega Evolves, its ability will become Sunlight. It can turn the weather into sunny weather."

"Not only will Fire-type moves be too powerful under sunny skies, but they will also be less powerful than Water-type moves. Furthermore, the charge time for Solar Beam will be greatly reduced. This is not good news for the Water-type Pokémon Dolphin."

"Dear viewers, Mega Charizard versus Dolphin, who will win this match? Let's wait and see."

…………

"Dolphin Man, Wave Rush!"

Watching the Mega Charizard change the weather, Chen Yuze's expression turned serious as he pondered a countermeasure.

In his original plan, with the Water-Soaking move of the Electric Belly Frog and the thunder in the rain while it was charged, he should at least be able to force Mega Sceptile back, if not defeat it directly, and gain the absolute initiative.

However, Chen Yuze's plan was completely disrupted because of Mega Sceptile's lightning rod feature.

He had to replace Froakie and sell Pelipper, sending out his ace Pokémon Dolphin ahead of time.

Without the rain weather gadget Pelipper, Chen Yuze lost his means to control Charizard, putting him at a disadvantage in the battle for weather.

Chen Yuze had also investigated Xia Yu's Pokémon beforehand, and he knew how powerful Mega Charizard's special attack output was.

If Chen Yuze's Dolphin Warrior represents the pinnacle of physical attack, then Xia Yu's Mega Charizard Y represents the pinnacle of special attack.

A showdown between a rain-flying physical attacker and a sun-flying special attacker!

"Dolphin Man, Wave Rush!"

Despite being at a complete disadvantage in terms of weather, Chen Yuze did not flinch and gave the first order, allowing Dolphin Warrior to launch the attack.

A surge of azure water energy erupted from Dolphin Man's body, enveloping him. He leaned forward, preparing to charge forward, his muscles taut, seemingly ready to sprint at any moment.

"Charizard, Solar Beam!" Facing the Water-type Dolphin, Xia Yu naturally chose the Grass-type move Solar Beam.

Under sunny skies, the charging time for Solar Beam will be greatly reduced. Under Charizard's powerful special attack, emerald green Grass-type energy will gather like a torrent on Charizard's body.

"boom!"

In a mere instant, the sunlight burst forth like a laser cannon, and at the same time, Dolphin Man moved. His azure body launched forward like a cannonball, moving with incredible speed, dodging the sunlight's attack in an instant, and leaping toward the fire-breathing dragon in the air.

At the same time, the water jets behind Dolphin Man further accelerated his propulsion, propelling him violently into the fire-breathing dragon in the sky.

"Get out of the way, Charizard!"

Faced with Dolphin Man's fierce attack, the fire-breathing dragon suddenly flapped its wings, using its advantage of flight to nimbly dodge in the air, narrowly avoiding Dolphin Man's attack.

Dolphin Man's body barely grazed the fire-breathing dragon's body as he passed by.

"Now! Charizard, Solar Beam!"

Fight back!

This was the perfect opportunity to counterattack, and Charizard had already keenly sensed it without Xia Yu even needing to give any command.

Even though Dolphin can temporarily levitate by using the water beneath its feet, it can never move as nimbly in the air as a true Flying-type Pokémon.

This time in the air is the perfect opportunity for Charizard to counterattack.

The emerald green energy rapidly converged, and almost instantly, the blazing sunlight reformed.

Mega Charizard Y was like an aerial artillery platform, its intense sunlight and flames suddenly erupting, engulfing Dolphin and blasting it into his body.

"boom!"

The blazing sunlight slammed Dolphin Man into the ground, creating a huge circular crater.

With just one strike, the Fire-Breathing Dragon severely injured Dolphin Man.

"Dolphin Man!" Chen Yuze's face was extremely pale: "Hang in there!"

Facing the fire-breathing dragon flying in the sky, Dolphin Man doesn't really have many ways to deal with it. Of course, he could also choose to use skills like water cannons to attack the fire-breathing dragon from a distance.

But as he said, his Dolphin Warrior had long since completely abandoned its special attack capabilities, focusing entirely on physical attack. Leaving aside whether a special attack-oriented Hydro Pump could even hit Charizard, even if it did, the power of Water-type moves is weakened in sunny weather, resulting in negligible damage to Charizard.

Therefore, Chen Yuze doesn't have many options right now; he can only continue using the Wave Rush.

Dolphin Man, covered in wounds, slowly rose to his feet, his eyes fixed on the fire-breathing dragon, filled with fighting spirit.

"Pay close attention to Charizard's location and think carefully about how I taught you."

"Even if the opponent is flying in the air, we can still defeat them."

"Dolphin Man, another Wave Rush!"

Once again, energy began to gather around Dolphin Man, enveloping its body in water-based energy. It raised its head and gazed intently at the fire-breathing dragon flying in the air.

"boom!"

With the sound of water spraying out, Dolphin Man's body once again soared into the air, crashing into the fire-breathing dragon in mid-air.

"Charizard, dodge, then use Solar Beam," Xia Yu's voice rang out.

The same scenario played out again. If nothing unexpected happened, the fire-breathing dragon would defeat the dolphin man. But Chen Yuze wasn't stupid; he wouldn't make the same mistake again.

This time, Dolphin Man, flying in the air, no longer flew straight towards the Fire-Breathing Dragon, but approached it in a zigzag pattern.

Their whereabouts are unpredictable and difficult to fathom.

…………

Chapter 297 Finals

"Chen Yuze's Dolphin Warrior uses the water jets from his feet to constantly change direction in the air, making it impossible to guess which direction it will attack from."

"How will Charizard respond to Dolphin Man's attack? Can it dodge Dolphin Man's Pulse Rush and launch a counterattack as it did last time?"

"This small game could very well determine the outcome of the entire match, and everyone wants to win it."

…………

Watching Dolphin Man use the water flow beneath his feet to constantly change direction in the air, tracing a "Z" shaped path as he approaches the Fire-Breathing Dragon.

Xia Yu remained remarkably calm. After a brief hesitation, he immediately ordered, "Charizard, charge forward... use the most powerful Solar Beam!"

Almost instantly, Xia Yu came up with a way to defeat Dolphin Man. It was the dumbest method, but also the most effective.

That's called "exchange".

No matter how Dolphin changes its attack route, its ultimate target is always the Fire-Breathing Dragon, and it always has to get close and punch the Fire-Breathing Dragon.

As long as Charizard withstands Dolphin's attack and uses Solar Beam when they make contact, Dolphin will have no chance of dodging it!

As a result, while Charizard took a hit from Wave Slash, Dolphin also took a hit from Solar Beam.

Charizard can definitely withstand a Wave Blade from Dolphin under clear skies, but Dolphin that has already taken a Solar Beam absolutely cannot withstand a second Solar Beam.

Trading injury for injury, a desperate, all-or-nothing fighting style! That's Xia Yu's tactic.

Once Dolphinman is defeated, the remaining Electric Belly Frog will definitely be no match for Sceptile with its Lightning Rod ability.

Victory in this match is practically guaranteed. The only sacrifice required is for Charizard to withstand a Wave Strike.

…………

Upon hearing Xia Yu's voice, Charizard instantly understood his meaning and made a decision without hesitation.

Its eyes revealed determination.

So what if I get injured? For the sake of victory, a little injury is nothing.

Sometimes Charizard and Xia Yu are really similar. In normal battles, they refuse to suffer any injury, but when it comes to the crucial moment, they have to fight desperately to win. They are more ruthless than anyone else and will not hesitate for a moment.

I won't take a single beating that I shouldn't, but I'll take as many beatings as I want if I should.

The fire-breathing dragon flapped its wings and flew towards Dolphin Man.

"boom!"
