139 Chapter 139
An attack that would follow Charizard no matter how fast or much it dodged, a massive wide ranged attack, cutting off any avenue forward and a rain of meteors from above.
Even if he tried to Dig again, the Surf attack would just be drained into the hole and follow it.
"Rush it! Quick Attack, Dragon Dance!" Jord hurriedly ordered in reply.
To his credit, he was very quick on the ball. He already knew there was no chance of dodging here, and Charizard obviously didn't have a move to defend here like Protect, though even if it did, it would have been futile.
With a beat of its huge wings and thrusting itself forward with its tail buried in the ground, the Charizard burst forward at blurring speeds, an explosion of white power erupting from its body at the same time a familiar green aura suffused its body.
It was a very, very impressive speed.
It was just too bad the level difference between his Hydreigon and Charizard, was just so vast.
Before Charizard even cleared half the distance towards Hydreigon, it unleashed its attacks.
A massive blue bolt of power erupted from the left head, while a familiar sphere of hydro power erupted outwards from the right forming into a wave almost double the size and width just one of his previous Surf attacks were.
While a massive orange spere of burning draconic power shot up and out of Hydreigon's middle head and ascended high into the air, swelling in size until it was fifty feet wide, before bursting apart and raining down in a rain of glowing orange meteors, all swerving down towards Charizard.
One of the meteors slammed into Charizard's right wing and exploded. Charizard roared in pain and slammed into the ground, the momentum it had built up forcing it into a roll, dragging its scales roughly across the ground.
It wasn't even down for a blink of an eye before it was up with a roar, but by then it was too late.
The Shock Wave burst forward at blinding speeds and was in its face before it could-
Lance's eyes widened as Charizard's mouth opened and a massive gout of heat exploded outwards meeting the Shock Wave attack head on.
They converged together as they met, swelled up, and exploded.
Charizard was blasted back like a rag doll, bouncing across the battle field like a stone being skipped across the surface of a lake.
'Amazing!' Lance's eyes shone with glee. Such determination! He could feel the blood beginning to pound in his ears, feel his heart beat begin to thunder in his breast.
Barring that Aerodactyl he'd just caught, how did Jord install such determination, such loyalty, such raw refusal to give up in his pokemon?
With the distance Charizard had gained from being thrown back, it avoided the Draco Meteor that had been aimed specifically for where Charizard was rushing.
All that was left, was the Surf attack rushing forward.
But…seeing Charizard weakly trying to push itself up, it was enough.
Or so Lance thought.
"Let's go, Charizard!" Jord's shout was not a counter, or anything close. It was simple encouragement.
A gleam entered Charizard's eyes at the voice of its trainer, and a roaring snarl erupted from its own maw. Lance blinked as a shimmering orange aura of power shimmered into existence around its body and it pushed itself to its feet once more.
"Blaze…huh?" Lance laughed lightly.
"Flamethrower!" Jord punched a fist out towards Lance himself in sheer defiance.
That was it! Yes, this was the kind of person he liked best! To Jord and his pokemon it didn't matter what opponent was in front of them, how overwhelming powerful they were or how big the mountain they had to ascend and overcome was.
They would charge it head on without hesitation!
'Just like us!' Lance laughed inwardly as Charizard's head reared back, red hot flames forming in its maw, before thrusting its head forward and unleashing a massive compressed torrent of flames that could have given one of Hydreigon's dragon pulse beams a run for its money!
The sheer force and heat behind it tore straight through the Surf attack, outright obliterating it and roaring forth towards Hydreigon!
If that was how it was, then Lance wasn't going to back down either. if Jord and Charizard were coming at them full force head on with all their power right here and now, then he and Hydreigon would reciprocate in kind!
"Hyper Beam!" Lance punched his own fist out, mirroring his young opponent.
Hydreigon's trio of heads snarled as one, three pitch black crackling orbs of energy forming in their own maws, before being unleashing a moment later in a trio of massive pitch black beams of pure destructive power.
That then converged together into one titanic, monumental colossal beam of ruination!
Blaze enhanced flamethrower smashed into the convergent Hyper Beam and the sheer force behind their collision, created a shock wave so powerful Lance himself felt himself get pushed back a few steps and even heard screams of shock and fear from those watching even over the roar of the attacks colliding, a circular crater forming under the attacks.
Despite the size difference between them, the blaze enhanced flamethrower held steady in the collision for an impressive two full seconds before the combined Hyper Beam pushed it back and began to steadily overpower it.
Bit by bit, split moment by split moment, the massive gout of flame was pushed back until it was all but dwarfed by the pitch black beam of destruction.
Yet, Charizard did not give in, did not falter and fall.
"Full power Charizard, give it everything you've got!" Lance blinked as he heard Jord's voice roar over the colliding attacks.
He couldn't even see the boy over the massive attacks clashing against each other, he could barely even make out the Charizard.
Charizard's wings flared out mightily, the orange blazing aura around its body roiling like a thrashing wave as it increased with a burning intensity-
And then the white hot flamethrower expanded massively with all the intensity of a supernova, with all the raging brilliance of a dying rebellious star that refused to go quietly into the night.
The massive black beam of ruin was suddenly pushed back massively, Charizard's roar of defiance echoing through the air.
Lance grinned, "Let's give it our all as well then Hydreigon!" the master of the dragon type and champion of two regions declared, "Nasty Plot!"
A crackling aura of pure pitch black power howled into existence around Hydreigon at his order, his already enhanced power rising even further beyond.
And with a roar, the trio of heads using their Hyper Beam, unleashed their enhanced power.
The pitch black beam of power swelled to sizes beyond scope, increasing easily twice over.
And pushed back with monstrous power against the massively blaze enhanced flamethrower, tearing through it with all the power of a raging force of nature, destruction incarnate itself.
The flamethrower was overwhelmed within moments, pushed to the very brink until all that was lift was struggling embers that refused to die-
Before they too were consumed by the beam of pitch black destruction and it washed over Charizard who thrust both claws out to meet it head on as one last feeble resistance.
And then the beam itself having met its target, erupted into a monstrous explosion that dyed the world black for an instant, blotting out the sun itself.
There was silence across the battlefield as it dyed away, only broken by the sound of reigning debris falling from the sky and slamming into the ground.
And when the smoke cleared, it was to show Charizard-
Still standing?!
Lance's eyes widened in utter shock and a howl of excited glee erupted from Hydreigon's three mouths.
Beaten and bloodied, scales marred with wounds from head to toe, the Charizard glared towards Hydreigon with bright defiant slitted green eyes.
And took one step forward, right arm coming out, claws gleaming with shimmering green draconic power-
Before Charizard's eyes promptly rolled into the back of its head and it fell face forward towards the ground.
Yet, its face never made contact with the ground as a familiar red light swept over Charizard's body and it disappeared.
Revealing Jord, pokeball in his hand, having returned the pokemon before it could fall.
And a smile on his face despite the fact that from start to finish, Charizard had been completely overwhelmed.

"Oh, you're approaching me?" Hydreigon smirked.
"I can't beat the shit out of you if I don't get close." Charizard cracked his knuckles.
