Chapter 552 Natsu vs Leon!  (two in one)

...

"Don't worry, I know you quite a bit, so there won't be any insults." Natsu said with a smile.

That being said, Leon swept the Kanto Region because he was not famous and went to Kanto to blow up the pool waves.

Then when he entered the Hoenn Region, some of the Gym Leaders should already know him and would no longer treat Leon as an ordinary early Trainer.

But even so, Leon still won eight Badges and managed to win the championship smoothly, which shows that his strength is quite good.

moreover how Natsu also knew what heights Leon would reach in the future, so it was natural not to look down on him.

Again.

Natsu borrows Shirona's Quasi-Legendary Pokémon Garchomp.

But he wasn't Shirona, and the tacit understanding between him and Garchomp was almost zero.

Even if Natsu can make up for this deficiency to some extent with Psychic telepathy.

But it was impossible to reach the level of tacit understanding between Shirona and Garchomp.

Garchomp is not fully usable.

Under this promise.

How could Natsu not be serious.

"So thank you very much!" Leon placed his hand on his chest politely and bowed slightly.

"Let's begin."

With that, Natsu squeezed the Poké Ball in his hand and threw it away.

Red light flashes.

bang!

Generates a lot of dust.

"Roar-!!"

The whole body is covered with hard purple scales, the body is full of teeth, and the arms are like sickles. The fierce Garchomp is on stage!

A dragon roar roared, with terrifying power.

Quasi-Legendary Pokemon.

When it evolves to the last evolution type, it is a symbol of strength.

This Garchomp from Shirona was well bred, no doubt about it.

What we want to see now is how much Natsu can play with his powers.

Garchomp turned to see Natsu behind him, exhaling two puffs of white smoke.

Garchomp also knows Natsu, as they fought together.

But after all, it wasn't Shirona, not the Trainer himself, Garchomp was still skeptical about Natsu's ability to govern himself.

But Garchomp didn't want to go against Shirona's orders either.

Just hope Natsu makes him win.

If not

Garchomp does not guarantee that he will be completely under Natsu's command.

Seeing Garchomp's performance, there was a lot of movement in the audience.

Some people are amazed by Garchomp's ferocity, some are surprised that Natsu, the newly opened Dragon Type Gym, actually has a Quasi-Legendary Pokemon, and few people have seen this hint from Garchomp.

"I wonder if Senior Natsu can order Shirona to move your Garchomp." said Lorelei while holding her glasses.

"Natsu is fine."

Before Shirona could speak, Lance spoke first.

He has 100% confidence in Natsu's abilities.

"Actually the key to this fight, I think Garchomp is not only to defeat the opponent, but to see how Natsu can play Garchomp's strengths." said Steven.

Shirona looked at Garchomp on the ground, and then at Natsu, who was calm and confident.

Watching your Pokemon act under someone else's orders is nothing new.

But Shirona nodded in agreement: "Natsu knows Garchomp, he's fine."

On the other hand.

Leon's eyes lit up when he saw Garchomp appear.

He had also heard of the Quasi-Legendary Pokemon in the Sinnoh Region, and today was the first time he had seen it.

"Looks like Mr. Natsu is serious, so we shouldn't be left behind, right, Char?"

Leon also throws a Poke Ball.

"Roar-!!"

A roar not inferior to Garchomp, and the high temperature that accompanies his appearance, two fiery breaths from nostrils, is Leon's Trump Card which is also his Starter Pokemon.

Charizard!

Garchomp vs Charizard!

Both Garchomp and Charizard felt a lot of pressure on each other.

When the eyes of the two Pokémon met in midair, the fire's medical smell suddenly became intense.

"Is Charizard really Gym Leader level?" Natsu silently nodded.

Luckily he didn't underestimate Leon.

"Garchomp, give me a minute, after a minute, you can decide for yourself whether you want to continue following my orders, but in a minute, please listen to me." Natsu whispered to Garchomp in front of him.

Roar-

Garchomp's nose spat again with two white breaths, nodding heavily.

One minute is right.

If Natsu's abilities didn't satisfy him after a minute, Garchomp would come alone to face such a formidable opponent.

"The battle begins!"

The referee immediately waved the flag after making sure both were ready.

"Charizard, Dragon Dance!" Leon ordered first as the challenger.

An illusory blue-purple shadow appeared on Charizard's body. With the rapid shaking of his body, Charizard's breath began to rise rapidly.

"Sword Dance!"

Natsu's command came slowly, but his tone was very calm and composed.

Garchomp is not slow.

In terms of speed alone, Garchomp has a slight advantage over Charizard before boosting.

"Roar-!!"

With a low roar, a dark red circle appeared on Garchomp's body, and an upward stream of air was like a sharp sword, surrounding him. whole body.

Pokémon like Garchomp, apart from being criticized for their Speed ​​Stat reduction after Mega evolution, can't learn the "Dragon Dance" move, which is always a weakness in other people's mouths.

But Garchomp also has advantages.

The combination of Dragon-Type and Ground-Type leaves him with no other defects except for the Ice-Type, Dragon-Type and Fairy-Type attributes which are common in Dragon-Type.

While Charizard was the first to use "Dragon Dance", both Pokémon completed boosts almost simultaneously.

"Charizard, Dragon Rush!"

After completing the boost, Charizard's advantage over Garchomp is

speed!

weng !

Charizard moved his wings violently, coiling up huge waves of hot air, and the rich Dragon-Type energy swiftly wrapped and covered his body, simulating the appearance of a dragon.

From top to bottom, moving towards Garchomp attacked without hesitation.

"Rrr-!!"

Garchomp shut his mouth tightly, his expression serious, the scales on the outside of his body shaking and making low noises.

It felt like the cells in his body were starting to move, and he wanted to come face to face with Charizard.

But Garchomp didn't move.

Because, Natsu didn't give orders.

Time.

It won't take more than a minute!

"Wait, wait a minute."

Natsu's eyes shone with halos of blue light, sending consciousness into Garchomp's mind.

Telepathy.

In order to command Garchomp more smoothly and reduce the impact of their lack of understanding with each other, Natsu used telepathy without the slightest hesitation.

This minimizes Natsu and Garchomp's reaction time.

While it may still not have the same tacit understanding of Garchomp as Shirona, at least some of the flaws are smoothed out.

"This is it! Dragon Claw! Catch!"

Natsu's eyes opened slightly, and his voice exploded in Garchomp's head.

Garchomp's expression froze, immediately raising both his hands.

Blue-purple Dragon Type Energy instantly gathered in both hands, facing Charizard's "Dragon Rush" without hesitation.

Use "Dragon Claw" precisely to take damage, so Garchomp's formidable attack power has been significantly reduced.

And the most important.

Charizard was captured by Garchomp at this time.

"That's it, turn it over! Body Slam!"

Natsu's orders began to flow non-stop.

Commanding every detail lets Garchomp know exactly what to do every second.

Then Garchomp gritted his teeth, tightened his entire body, and exerted a force on his waist.

Grab Charizard's arm with a rapid burst of power.

A perfect bow crossed Garchomp's head.

Immediately after, he also rode on Charizard's back without the slightest hesitation by Charizard's inertia that was thrown past him.

bang! !

Ka ka ka ——

The ground cracked layer by layer, stone and gravel debris shot out, and the ground let out a dull sound that was overwhelmed.

Garchomp managed to take advantage of a fleeting opportunity to take advantage of the lack of speed.

And managed to give Charizard an onslaught.

Oops!

Leon's face changed at this sight.

Big waves.

"Charizard, Flare Blitz set free!"

You see, Charizard is now being ridden on the ground by Garchomp, so as a Flying-Type Pokémon, he should be immune to Ground-Type moves. Of course, resisting Fire-Type moves with his current Ground-Type would definitely cause Charizard damage.

According to Natsu, of course it was impossible for Leon's Charizard to break free.

Otherwise, the previous preparation, letting Garchomp put up the "Dragon Rush" plan, wouldn't have much effect?

"Roar-!!"

Garchomp's eyes were bloodshot, even though "Dragon Claw" offset some of the damage from "Dragon Rush", but Garchomp was still suffering lightly.

And that kind of pain stirred up Garchomp's ferocity even more.

Wait Charizard.

The fiery red flames had fallen, but Garchomp wouldn't let go.

"Earthquake!"

Garchomp moved towards the ground ferociously without the slightest hesitation.

bang!

The cracked ground, under Garchomp's tail, made the entire battlefield scratch three points, and the audience in the auditorium only felt their butts go numb.

As Charizard was at the center of "Earthquake", it was of course the worst at the moment.

Reinforced by Garchomp's "Sword Dance", Garchomp's "Earthquake", which nearly made him lose his ability to resist.

Profit.

Under the effect of "Earthquake", the flames on Charizard's tail soared into the sky, and the flames covering his body also became wild at the same time.

The "Flare Blitz" movement finally managed to break free from Garchomp's grip.

With the help of the Fire-Type moves brought about by the time-appropriately timed Characteristic Trait "Blaze", it was barely able to prevent him from being given a second by Garchomp's "Earthquake".

Garchomp, who was standing on the ground, looked at Charizard, who was slightly embarrassed, and opened his arms.

"Roar!!"

Roars in a very impressive manner.

This is just the first collision, like fire stars colliding.

And Garchomp, because of Natsu's decision, had the upper hand.

Charizard, flying through the air, narrowed one eye, the pain all over his body telling him to give up, but Charizard still flapped his wings fiercely.

The flames on his tail were the exact opposite of his current state.

The more Charizard couldn't hold on, the bigger the fire grew.

Seeing Garchomp on the ground, Charizard probably didn't want to approach him in no time.

Garchomp turned his head slightly, looked at Natsu out of the corner of his eye, moved towards him and lowered his eyes quietly.

Natsu was recognized by Garchomp after the collision earlier.

Garchomp worries that Natsu has come up with some "tactic" to get him to do something he doesn't like.

But did not think.

Natsu used a bit of tactical planning, but not what Garchomp had in mind.

The end result is still meeting strength with strength.

The difference is that a power encounter with such a force is more planned and organized, rather than thoughtlessly reckless.

That's what Garchomp likes.

His sense of identity with Natsu also skyrocketed.

One minute less than one minute.

Natsu and Garchomp build the most basic trust.

And the successful connection of this bond of trust will allow Garchomp to exert even more power.

"Sandstorm."

Natsu continued to do.

Garchomp didn't hesitate to put his energy into it immediately.

The wind and sand in the sky covered the entire site in an instant.

Garchomp seemed faintly invisible in the sand.

"Sand Veil" Characteristic Trait.

Triggered.

Leon's face darkened.

One mistake occurred, and a chain reaction occurred.

He saw Garchomp's power.

But it was Natsu's "aggressive" command that really made Leon feel the pressure.

One link is closely related to each other.

Once he did the trick, there would be no chance for him to feel better then.

The appearance of "Sand Storm" weather, combined with Garchomp's "Sand Veil" Characteristic Traits.

Natsu can even keep Garchomp from having to reappear, draining Charizard to death.

This is the most desperate.

But Leon didn't mean to give up either.

"Charizard, Heatwave!"

Faced with this situation, Charizard could only do his best to flap his wings, and a terrifying heat wave rolled up, to a certain extent, letting him dodge the Damage from the "Sandstorm".

At the same time, also for.

Leon's eyes were dignified, staring at the rich Sandstorm.

Inspired by "Heat Wave", Sandstorm ended up having some confusion and loopholes.

And it was during this lull that Leon and Charizard saw Garchomp hiding in "Sandstorm".

This is the only chance!

"Charizard, Fire Blast!"

A "big" flame shot out of Charizard's mouth.

Covers the area where Garchomp exists very widely.

The temperature of the entire gym soared several degrees in an instant.

The visual impact of this attack made the hearts of many people lift.

How about Garchomp in Sandstorm?

Wait until the fire slowly dissipates.

As countless burning red pebbles fell to the ground, except for a hole in the ground, no silhouette of Garchomp could be seen.

Oops!

Leon's heart shivered with cold at this sight.

It's "Digging"!

Natsu's predictions and orders that managed to make Charizard's attack go to waste.

And.

Enter Garchomp into the ground, and when it appears next, it's most likely time to take out Charizard.

"Charizard, face down, Blast Burn!"

Blast Burn, a Fire-Type special attack with tremendous power that reaches a terrifying 150 points, requires the user to exhaust all Steps that use the power to release, once used, the Pokémon will fall into a state of exhaustion and become immobile for a short period of time. .

This was Leon and Charizard's final stubbornness.

Explosion!

A small cloud of red mushrooms appeared under Charizard's feet, and Charizard seemed to be bathing in his own fire!

There is no movement in the venue.

Leon's prediction worked?

Was Garchomp really going to attack under Charizard, only to hit the terrifying mighty power of "Blast Burn"?

dong dong dong! !

A sudden figure, as if to knock on everyone's heart.

A series of sharp and powerful spikes spread rapidly from the corner behind Charizard.

Garchomp didn't appear at Charizard's feet, as Leon thought, and dealt him a fatal blow.

Natsu, however, did not choose to do so.

After Garchomp Dig, appear behind Charizard.

And what is thrown.

This is a Rock Type move.

Stone Edge!

Also known as the little "Precicipe Blade".

Charizard, with Rock Type four times weaker!

Charizard couldn't take such an attack if hit...

Charizard, who plays "Blast Burn", has lost the ability to move.

The moment when the last, sharpest and thickest cone hit Charizard.

The result of this battle.

already determined.

"Roar-!!"

Garchomp roared with joy.

Charizard hit the ground hard, his eyes closed, and lost his combat ability.

After assessing Charizard's condition, the referee immediately raised the flag.

Announce the results.

"The Charizard lost his fighting ability, so the winner is Gym Leader Natsu!"

whoa!!

The audience cheered.

They finally saw the incredible battle today, and it was a worthwhile journey.

And the Reporters frantically pressed the shutter button.

Bertha also smiled a little.

Very good.

Then they Sinnoh, Kanto and Hoenn, opened some gaps.
