Chapter 215: Succeeded, The Seventh Badge

"Pikachu, come back and take a good rest. Leave it to the other companions!" Ash didn't want Pikachu to overexert itself, and after Pikachu returned, he took out another Poké Ball.

He threw it, and said, "It's up to you, Charizard!"

With the white light dissipating in mid-air, Charizard descended from the sky and landed on the battlefield. It looked at Magmar in front of it with a haughty expression. When it noticed Magmar's strength, it showed a bit of disdain.

Magmar's expression was flat at first, but after seeing Charizard's appearance, it unknowingly became serious, feeling a sense of oppression from Charizard!

Neither Arcanine nor Magmar could sense the aura of the three Legendary gods from Pikachu because it was an Electric-type Pokémon, and its strength was only at the Silver level.

But Charizard was different. Not only did Charizard surpass Pikachu in the integration of inheritance, but it had also reached the peak Silver level. Additionally, because Magmar was a Fire-type Pokémon like Charizard, it had a clearer sense of its power.

"Excellent Charizard, truly amazing. Is it a different color?" Blaine naturally noticed the distinctive Golden flame on Charizard's tail and thought it was a Shiny Pokémon, but something felt off.

The skin color of the Shiny Charizard is black, but the flame on the tail is still orange and red, but the flame of this Charizard was Golden, and it gave him a feeling of facing the sun.

"Ash really has no reservations..." Seeing that the third Pokémon Ash sent out was Charizard, Brock and Misty couldn't help but sigh.

Charizard could be said to be the most powerful Pokémon in Ash's current team, not one of them, and even Pikachu was slightly inferior.

"Come on, let me see what's different about this Charizard!" Blaine waved his hand, gesturing for Ash to attack.

"Then I won't be polite, Charizard, Flamethrower!" Ash nodded slightly, without being polite, and directly ordered Charizard to attack Magmar.

"Roar!" Charizard roared with excitement. The Fire-type energy condensed in the blink of an eye, and the Golden flame burst out, tearing through the air like a fire dragon, heading straight for Magmar!

"What terrifying power!"

Looking at the flame that seemed to distort the space slightly, Blaine's eyes revealed a look of astonishment.

It should be noted that this place was located in a magma pool, and the temperature itself was already high enough, but the flame of Charizard far exceeded the temperature here!

"Magmar, we also use Flamethrower to attack!" Blaine wanted to test Charizard's strength, so he chose the same move to counter it.

"Magmar!" Although Magmar was suppressed by the aura from Charizard, it acted immediately, stimulating its Fire-type energy, and the jet of fire quickly condensed and sprayed out!

However, the Flamethrowers used by the two could not be compared at all. The Flamethrower used by Charizard looked more robust and concise, and although Magmar's Flamethrower was better than normal, it was far inferior to Charizard's!

"Boom!" The two flames collided on the battlefield, but in the next moment, Charizard's flames completely swallowed Magmar's, and the remaining power was still undiminished, continuing straight towards Magmar!

Magmar's eyes showed a look of horror. Its attack was completely overwhelmed by its opponent's, and it couldn't even block it!

"Get out of the way!" Blaine reacted similarly. Charizard's strength once again exceeded his evaluation of Ash. There was no doubt that this Charizard, like Pikachu, had the strength to challenge opponents of a higher level. The Silver stage Magmar was no match at all!

Although Blaine's order was issued in a timely manner, Magmar was a bit slow to react. By the time it had recovered from the shock of its attack being easily defeated, the flames had already arrived in front of it, and it was impossible to avoid them!

The flames bombarded Magmar's body, and the strong impact pushed Magmar out of the field, demonstrating the sheer power of this Flamethrower!

"Magmar!" Magmar crossed its arms in front of it, trying its best to resist the flame attack, but it felt that its arms already had some burn marks, and a trace of fear involuntarily appeared in its eyes.

As a Pokémon that could swim in magma, Magmar had a very high resistance to Fire-type moves, but when resisting the Flamethrower, it was easily burned by the flames, which was truly incredible.

The brute force prevented Magmar from resisting any longer. Its arms were shaken by the impact of the flames, exposing its body. The sun-like flames completely engulfed it, leaving only a black silhouette.

"Magmar!" Magmar, engulfed in flames, couldn't bear the heat and let out a painful cry, shocking Blaine once again.

When Charizard dissipated the energy maintaining the flames, Magmar froze on the edge of the field, emitting bursts of smoke. After a while, it raised its head tremblingly, trying to imprint Charizard's figure deeply in its mind before falling to the ground, unable to battle.

A moment of silence fell over the battle hall. Apart from Ash, even Misty and Brock, who knew about Charizard's strength, and Blaine himself, were shocked by the power Charizard displayed.

"Charizard... seems to be getting stronger..." Brock stared wide-eyed. He felt that Charizard's strength was constantly improving, and every day, his confidence was renewed.

"It's amazing! Charizard! Ash!" Misty cheered excitedly. Even Togepi in her arms was infected, waving its little hands happily with a joyful smile.

"It's amazing!" Blaine, regaining his senses, returned Magmar to its Poké Ball, sighed in disbelief, and walked towards Ash.

"Thank you, Charizard!" Ash patted the shoulder of Charizard, who had returned to his side. With a proud expression, he returned it to its Poké Ball and faced Blaine.

"Your strength has indeed exceeded my expectations. Whether it was Blastoise in the first match, Pikachu in the second, or Charizard in the last, I've seen your difference," Blaine said, standing in front of Ash, looking at the young boy and sighing.

"Thank you for your compliment," Ash nodded slightly, accepting Blaine's praise without humility.

"Very good!" Seeing Ash's demeanor, Blaine nodded with a smile and then took out a flaming Badge from his pocket—the Volcano Badge from the Cinnabar Gym.

"In addition to the Badge, I also mentioned before that as long as you defeat me here, I will give you something as a gift." Watching Ash put the Badge in the box, Blaine also saw that Ash had already collected seven Badges.
