Pokémon battle for Huaxia

The Kangaskhan's attacks kept increasing, and its fighting power grew stronger the longer the battle dragged on.

"Lizard King, don't fight head-on—use the Energy Ball to hold them back!"

The devout voice was frighteningly calm. The Lizard King immediately created distance, conjuring orange-yellow energy balls between its palms, and hurled them steadily at the Kangaskhan. The Kangaskhan neither dodged nor evaded, catching the energy balls head-on with only a slight disturbance in its breathing before closing in again.

"Boost Fist!"

Kangaskhan appeared like a mountain on Sceptile's flank, its powerful punch, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, striking Sceptile in the waist and abdomen! Sceptile managed to move half a step to the side, but was still hit by the force of the punch, staggering and crashing into the invisible rock at the edge of the arena—although the pitons had already been cleared by Draco, it was still unlucky to run into them.

"Lizard King, one more time—Lightning Flash, Dragon Pulse Counter!"

The devout command suddenly became aggressive. The Lizard King, no longer willing to fight, flashed away from the Kangaskhan's pursuit, then leaped high into the air in the center of the arena, slamming its paws into the ground—the shockwave swept across half the battlefield like a tidal wave. The Kangaskhan was forced to retreat, but was still caught in the aftershocks.

.

"Kangaroo, hold the line!"

Hold firm again! Li Fan's defense was impenetrable, as if he had already anticipated Qian Cheng's tactical intentions.

“A trainer’s growth often happens in these moments of ‘knowing it’s impossible but doing it anyway.’ Keep going, let me see how far you can go,” Li Fan said meaningfully to Qiancheng.

Qiancheng closed his eyes and pondered for about three seconds before revealing the Key Stone on his wrist. "Charizard's HP is only at 30%, Mega Evolution would be a huge disadvantage..."

"Lizard King Mega Evolution!"

The Lizard King removed its sunglasses and took out a Mega Stone, the bond between the two transforming into power. Strange beams of light enveloped the Lizard King, completing its Mega Evolution.

A majestic Mega Lizard King stood proudly on the field, flicking its newly revamped tail blade. Its appearance brought with it the freshness of growing plants and the sharp edge of emerging energy.

"Oh, so you've also mastered the power of Mega Evolution?"

"Lizard King, Leaf Blade Attack!"

The devout voice was deeper than before, yet carried a sharp, do-or-die edge. Mega Lizard King moved at the command, its emerald armor blades on its limbs suddenly glowing with a dazzling green light, and leaf-shaped energy blades swirled and condensed around its body.

Ultimately, it transformed into a giant green leaf storm nearly two meters in diameter, with sharp, knife-like edges, carrying sand and gravel from the field straight towards the Kangaskhan!

"Kangaroo, Power Punch!"

Li Fan didn't hesitate at all. The Kangaskhan roared, and its fists were instantly enveloped in a dazzling white light—Enhanced Fist activated!

Its punching speed and power surged with the added force, and instead of retreating, it advanced, like an enraged Tauros crashing into the Blade Storm!

"boom--!!!"

Two powerful forces exploded at the point of impact!

The Bladestorm was forcibly torn open, fragments scattering like a torrential rain. The Kangaskhan's white fist light clashed fiercely with the Bladestorm's energy blades, sparking blinding sparks. The invisible rock spikes had long since been crushed into dust.

As the smoke cleared, the Mega Lizard King knelt on the ground, its emerald armor blades covered in fine cracks.

"Lizard King, Energy Ball!"

Taking advantage of the brief moment of stiffness after the Kangaskhan took the blade, he issued commands in rapid succession. Mega Sceptile struggled to its feet, and a shimmering green energy ball gathered between its palms.

"Kangaroo, hold the line!"

Li Fan's reaction was astonishingly fast. The Kangaskhan almost instinctively raised a barrier, but it was still a step too slow and was hit in the abdomen by the concentrated energy ball.

"Brother! Well done!" Nuoyan jumped up and down excitedly.

Chuan Yun couldn't help but shout, "Go Mega Lizard King!"

"Boost Fist!"

"Knife leaf!"

With Li Fan's calm command, the Kangaskhan, displaying terrifying perseverance, turned around and charged at Mega Sceptile once more, unleashing a punch. Mega Sceptile's Blade Leaf was completely unable to withstand the multiple enhancements of its Power Punch and was struck, falling backward...

As his super-evolutionary state dissipated, the Lizard King also lost its ability to fight, its eyes swirling with spiral patterns.

"Come back, Lizard King..."

"What a terrifying Kangaskhan... Gym Leader Li Fan's use of Normal-type Pokémon is simply masterful. No wonder he's the former champion of the China League." Ji Qiu exclaimed inwardly. She knew very well that Normal-type Pokémon, though seemingly simple, possessed absolute dominance in terms of stats and tactical combinations.

Kangaskhan repeatedly used Power Punch to stack attacks, slowly wearing down Mega Sceptile's burst damage until it was exhausted.

The situation on the field is clear—in Qiancheng's lineup, Xi Nao Nao is seriously injured and has to leave the field, and Lizard King collapses after its Mega Evolution. Now, only Charizard with only 30% of its health remains.

Li Fan still had a Snorlax on its last legs, a fully charged Pokémon, a half-health Blissey, and a fully-equipped Ace that hadn't even appeared yet. From any perspective, this was a final battle with almost no hope of a comeback.

Yet Qiancheng still stood straight, the red star medal on the left chest of his blue and white school uniform gleaming warmly in the setting sun.

He glanced down at the Charizard Poké Ball in his hand, feeling the lingering warmth on its surface – the unspoken understanding only partners who had fought side-by-side could share.

He slowly raised the Poké Ball to his chest, as if engaging in a silent dialogue with Charizard. The setting sun cast a long shadow of him, and his silhouette inexplicably evoked a sense of melancholy.

"Charizard, I choose you in the end!"

Li Fan looked at Charizard, his square face remaining calm. He saw that Qiancheng still didn't give up and even showed a hint of appreciation—this ace of a top trainer, even with his stamina depleted, hadn't lost any of his momentum.

He slowly raised his hand and retrieved Kangaskhan's Poké Ball: "Kangaskhan, come back."

The moment the kangaroo vanished in a flash of red light, Li Fan suddenly smiled. His smile held a hint of amusement and contemplation, as if he were watching a meticulously crafted play.

"I'll show you my lineup then, otherwise it would be a shame."

Before he could finish speaking, another Poké Ball lit up red in his palm—"Go, Slaking!"

"The King of Taking Leave..."

"Slaking is a Pokémon that hates to bother others. Although it is the most carefree Pokémon in the world, it can unleash amazing power by releasing its accumulated energy all at once. It usually lives a life of lying down. Only after all the grass around it has been eaten will it roll over and move to another place."
