Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

"boom!"

A violent, earth-yellow energy wave exploded in a fan shape, causing the ground of the entire battlefield to surge like ocean waves, with energy magma constantly emerging, seemingly trying to fill the earth!

But just as the shockwave was about to hit Pikachu...

"Lightning speed!"

Pikachu's figure suddenly blurred, leaving a golden afterimage in its place. Its true form had already broken the sound barrier, and a milky white shockwave exploded in the air.

"Bang--!!!"

The powerful impact, imbued with incredible speed, struck the Moon Bear's jaw precisely.

The massive body was knocked off the ground by the upward strike, and in the instant of airborne, Pikachu followed up with a powerful Iron Tail sweep!

The three-meter-tall Moon Bear flew backward like a broken doll, crashing heavily into the protective barrier at the edge of the arena.

Fragments of rock crystals scattered and flew everywhere, refracting a beautiful, poignant rain of light.

When the smoke cleared, Moon Bear was already lying on the ground, unable to get up.

Only faint fluctuations remain, proving that it has not yet lost consciousness.

Li Chen silently recalled his Ruby Bear, his fingertips gently tracing the surface of the Poké Ball.

"Pikachu, come back here first."

Ash then signaled for Pikachu to return and recharge.

This is my ace player; he's had a great start and needs a rest.

"Well done, get some rest."

He then took out a regular red and white Poké Ball from his waist and gently weighed it in his palm.

At the same time, Li Chen's fingertip brushed against a bait ball, the fishing net pattern on its surface gleaming coldly under the light.

Gyarados!

Li Chen swung the Poké Ball, and with a deafening roar, Gyarados's massive body spiraled out.

Its azure scales gleamed with a blood-red luster under the spotlight, and its fierce eyes were fixed on its opponent.

Ash made his move at almost the same time:

"Charizard!"

The Poké Ball traced an arc in the air, and blazing flames burst forth from it.

Charizard spread its wide wings, its tail flames leaving long trails of fire behind it, colliding head-on with Gyarados's ferocious aura!

The two colossal beasts faced off across the distance, their roars—Gyarados's fury and Charizard's bellows—mingling and making the glass of the entire arena vibrate.

Although both of these Pokémon have "Dragon" in their names, neither of them has the Dragon type.

However, given their current strength...

Whether it has dragon attributes or not is not really a question.

Ash flipped his wrist, and the Max Band suddenly emitted a dazzling red light.

Charizard, Gigantamax!

He recalled Charizard into its Poké Ball, and a surge of immense Dynamax energy flowed into the ball from the Dynamax Band.

When it was thrown again, the Poké Ball expanded rapidly in the air, and in the burst of purple light, a towering pillar of fire rose from the ground!

"Roar—!!!"

The Gigantamax Charizard unfurled its fiery wings that blotted out the sky, instantly causing the temperature in the entire arena to soar.

Its body was made entirely of leaping flames, every scale and feather was burning, and the fire marks extending from its tail illuminated half the area like a furnace.

"It didn't evolve into Mega Evolution, but instead opted for Gigantamax? Not bad..."

A slight smile appeared on Li Chen's lips, and the keystone necklace simultaneously emitted iridescent light:

"Gyarados, Mega Evolution!"

Seven-colored energy cascaded down like a waterfall, and Gyarados's body twisted and deformed in the light.

When the light faded, its body became even more robust, and its originally azure scales transformed into a dazzling rainbow, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

The two giant beasts faced off across the distance.

On one side is the Gigantamax Charizard, which can burn everything in its path; on the other side is the ferocious and powerful Mega Gyarados.

Ash's Maxim Band and Li Chen's Mega Bracelet simultaneously shone with the light of their ultimate fighting spirit.

"Gigantamax Hellfire!"

"Dragon Dance to amplify myself, then unleash the Waterfall Climbing move!"

"Roar!!"

The Giga Gyarados's body spun rapidly in the air, its iridescent scales shimmering with a mesmerizing glow in rhythm with the dragon's dance.

Each rotation made the surrounding water flow even more violent, and its momentum increased steadily.

As it finished its final lap, it suddenly turned around!

Towering waves appeared out of nowhere, and the water flow, refracted by the iridescent scales, displayed a seven-color spectrum.

This waterfall doesn't fall from the sky; instead, it rises upwards against the current, like a roaring water dragon rushing straight at a giant Charizard!

The Gigantamax Charizard opposite was not to be outdone, and its wings were fully extended.

Its thoracic flaming core contracted violently, and then—

"boom--!!!"

A huge fireball transformed into a phoenix-shaped beam of light with a diameter of over ten meters, scorching and distorting the air wherever it passed!

The fiery phoenix and the water dragon collided violently in mid-air, and the billowing water mist instantly enveloped the entire arena.

Amidst the terrifying turbulent energy currents, a Mega Gyarados could be vaguely seen swimming upstream, its iridescent scales scorched red; while the fiery wings of Gigantamax Charizard were gradually being eroded away by the moisture.

The moment the water mist was torn apart by the shock wave!

The two colossal beasts were already within arm's reach!

Gyarados's fangs were entangled with the lingering water, and Charizard's claws burned with inextinguishable flames, ultimately colliding to create a terrifying shockwave that shattered the protective shield monitoring system!

The Gigantamax Charizard was forced back several steps by the close-range impact, and even the increased size and stamina brought by Dynamax could not hide its defeat.

Ash frowned, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the Max Bracers.

The imposing presence of this Gyarados...

His gaze swept over the iridescent scales of the Mega Gyarados, each scale radiating visible energy fluctuations.

This level of pressure vaguely reminded him of the monstrous Blastoise he had witnessed atop Silver Mountain...

No, perhaps even worse...

Mega Gyarados suddenly roared to the sky, and the shockwave from the roar alone extinguished all the remaining giant flames on the field.

"Charizard!"

He looked up abruptly, his voice filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

"Prepare for the impact!"

Upon hearing this, the Gigantamax Charizard immediately lowered its center of gravity, and its tail flame changed from orange-red to bluish-white.

This is the sign that the flame temperature has been raised to its limit!

Chapter 643 The Eight Masters Finals II: Dragon's Intimidation - Dance of the Sun

Mega Gyarados suddenly swung its tail, and its iridescent scales burst forth with dazzling light.

"boom--!!!"

A spiral water column with a diameter of over five meters gushed out of its mouth. The water flow formed a vacuum channel as it spun at high speed, tearing the air along the way with a piercing explosion!

Before the water jet even arrived, the terrifying pressure had already suppressed the flames around Gigantamax Charizard to the brink of extinction.

The Gigantamax Charizard crossed its wings in an attempt to block, but the moment the water jets made contact!

laugh--!

The billowing white mist rose into the sky, and its wings, made of pure flame, melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The water jet continued its momentum, striking the Charizard's chest and pushing its massive body backward.

"Roar......"

The Gigantamax Charizard let out a painful roar, and the flames on its body fluctuated violently.

When the water column finally dissipated, it was already kneeling on one knee, and the fire core in its chest cavity had dimmed.

The Mega Gyarados pressed its advantage, its long body streaking through the air like a rainbow, its pectoral fins fully extended!

The next offensive is already poised to launch!

Ash's eyes blazed, and he suddenly swung his arm and shouted, "Charizard, now! Max Shore!"

In an instant, the Gigantamax Charizard roared to the sky, and emerald green energy gathered wildly around it.

Countless enormous seeds, shimmering with fluorescence, fell from the sky like meteors, leaving dazzling trails in the air.

"Roar—!"

Mega Gyarados let out a painful roar, its massive body trembling violently under the bombardment of the seed bomb.

The once tense battlefield was instantly transformed into a vibrant grassland, with lush green grass sprouting from the soil.

The shimmering Grass-type energy flowed like a thin mist across the field, adding a touch of fantasy to this intense battle...

Mega Gyarados trembled, and the Dynamax Grass burst open on its hard scales as Grass-type energy frantically eroded its Water and Dark body.

The intense pain caused by the elemental advantage made it let out a low roar, and a fierce glint flashed in its dragon eyes.

"It's not over yet!" Ash seized the opportunity and swung his hand sharply, "Charizard, Max Thunder!"

Gigantamax Charizard flaps its wings.

Golden lightning gathered wildly between its wings, the entire sky suddenly darkened, and amidst the churning clouds, violent thunderbolts crashed down like divine punishment!

"Don't even think about it!" Li Chen's eyes sharpened, and he shouted sternly, "Gyarados, Earthquake!"

Mega Gyarados roared and slammed its massive body into the ground, unleashing a tidal wave of violent Ground-type energy that exploded outwards.

The earth cracked, rocks crumbled, and two world-destroying forces collided violently in mid-air!

The shockwaves of thunder and earthquakes swept across the entire field, causing the whole battlefield to tremble violently!

After the two devastating energies collided violently, they gradually dissipated, and the Gigantamax light faded away, Charizard returned to its original form.

Its wings drooped, its chest heaved violently, and its hot breath became rapid and heavy.

Clearly, its physical strength was nearing its limit.

A confident smile appeared on Li Chen's lips.

"It's over." His eyes sharpened, and he raised his hand, shouting, "Gyarados, Water Tail!"

Mega Gyarados suddenly burst forth, its massive body surging out like a raging torrent, its tail swirling with turbulent currents, crashing down with immense force!

Bang--!!

With a muffled thud, Charizard was slammed to the ground by the attack.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere.

When the dust settled, its eyes were closed, and it had completely lost its ability to fight...

The battle fell into a brief silence.
