20demayo Chapter 443 The Battle of the Salamence
Chapter 443 The Battle of the Salamence
"Roar--!!"
The Flying Dragon roared to the sky, its voice shaking the surrounding area.
Its eyes were blood-red, staring intently at Rayquaza, as if it wanted to burn everything in front of it to ashes.
Evolution brings not only a change in form, but also a full-scale explosion of power. The powerful aura emanating from Salamence made the atmosphere of the entire battlefield oppressive, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on everyone's hearts.
Even Da Ye in the stands looked shocked. He stared intently at the Salamence on the field, as if trying to see right through it.
"Denji..." Daiya muttered to himself. He knew that the situation in this match had completely reversed. "What are you going to do next?"
On the field, Denji took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and a smile of approval appeared on his face.
"What a brilliant decision. I never expected that my Jolteon would be used as a stepping stone for Shellder's evolution."
Denji's voice carried a hint of emotion, "I really couldn't have imagined that you would make such a decision. Even though I've been constantly raising your expectations in my mind, it seems I'm still lacking."
Looking at Ash's current spirited figure, Denji seemed to see himself in his younger days.
Sure enough, this battle was incredibly profitable.
"but…"
Dian Ci abruptly changed the subject, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"Even if Shellder evolves into Salamence, the damage it sustained won't disappear. And don't forget, your Salamence can't overcome Jolteon's speed!"
"Speed?" Ash smiled. "It seems so, but let's try it out before drawing conclusions!"
After saying that, Ash immediately gave the command.
"Salamander, Dragon Breath!"
After evolving into the highly mobile Salamence, the Dragon Breath skill can finally be unlocked.
The Salamence suddenly opened its blood-red maw, and a blue light surged deep within its throat, as if it were accumulating endless energy.
In an instant, a violent beam of light shot out like an arrow released from a bow, tearing through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and rushed toward Rayquaza.
"Rayle, get out of the way!"
Denji gave the order without hesitation. Raibou vanished instantly, narrowly avoiding the dragon's breath attack.
It seems that Rayquaza's speed is still superior.
While Dragon Breath's speed isn't slow, it's still somewhat inferior to Jolteon's ultimate speed.
Seeing this, Denji finally relaxed a little.
As long as the opponent cannot break Jolteon's speed, his chances of winning are still very high.
"Rayle, thunder!"
Thinking of this, Denji immediately launched a counterattack.
Jolteon's fur stood on end instantly, and a dazzling golden lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking towards Salamence.
"Hold on!"
Ash quickly gave the order. A semi-transparent green light shield instantly appeared around Salamence's body, protecting it firmly within.
"boom--!"
The thunder struck the light shield, producing a piercing screeching sound and sparks flying, but it could not penetrate the defenses.
After evolving, even the speed of using skills has increased this much?
Denji was secretly surprised as he watched Salamence instantly deploy Protect.
He knew very well that while the Guardian was powerful, it had a fatal weakness—it could not be used continuously.
"Rayle, use Electric!"
Thinking of this, Denji immediately launched a second attack, not intending to give Salamence any chance to breathe.
"Flamethrower!" Ash's voice rang out. He believed that as long as it was a head-on confrontation, Salamence could not possibly lose to Jolteon.
Salamence took a deep breath, its chest heaving violently as if a flame were burning within it. It suddenly opened its massive, tooth-filled maw, and a torrent of scorching flame, capable of melting steel, erupted forth, accompanied by a wave of intense heat, colliding violently with the dense electric net formed by Jolteon's electric discharge.
"boom--!"
The dazzling flames and blinding lightning intertwined, erupting into a deafening roar that shook the entire battlefield. Sparks flew, arcs of electricity crackled, and the two violent energies collided and tore at each other, as if trying to rip space itself apart.
To everyone's surprise, the newly evolved Flamethrower, which it had just mastered, gradually gained the upper hand in the stalemate with the electric grid. The flames rolled and slowly overwhelmed the electric grid formed by the discharge, sweeping towards Jolteon with an aura of annihilation, as if it wanted to devour it completely.
"How could this be?!"
In the audience, Da Ye could no longer remain calm. He suddenly stood up and let out a gasp.
"How can this Salamence's Flamethrower be so powerful?!"
Da Ye's voice was filled with disbelief as he stared intently at the Salamence on the field, as if he had witnessed something incredible.
"This power... has surpassed most Fire-type Pokémon of the same level, or even one level higher, right?"
As one of the Elite Four specializing in Fire-type attacks, Da Ye knew better than anyone just how powerful Salamence's Flamethrower was.
Denji on the field was equally shocked, but focused on the battle, he quickly recovered and shouted.
"Rayle, get out of the way!"
Rayab narrowly dodged away with nimble steps.
On the field, Jolteon's golden figure moved swiftly along the edge, leaving afterimages in its wake. However, Salamence's flames clung to it like a leech, showing no signs of abating.
Flames rolled and the intense heat spread rapidly. As time passed, the Salamence's jets of fire had turned the entire battlefield a fiery red. The once-hard ground had now become like lava, radiating suffocating heat.
With each step Ray took, a sizzling sound came from beneath his feet. The high temperature made it difficult for him to maintain his original speed, and his body became somewhat unsteady.
This absolutely cannot continue...
Dianci clenched his teeth, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He understood that if he continued to let Reibou passively dodge, he would eventually be exhausted by the omnipresent high temperature.
"Rayle, use Discharge!" Denji decisively ordered, attempting to break the stalemate with an attack.
Jolteon's fur stood on end instantly, golden arcs of electricity crackling and leaping around its body. It whirled around, a thick bolt of lightning erupting from its body and colliding with Salamence's Flamethrower.
However, this was only a fraction of the electrical power. Under Jolteon's control, the remaining arcs of electricity, like serpents, bypassed the range of Flamethrower's attack and attacked Salamence from both sides, attempting to interrupt its attack.
