Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [604]

[Iron Head]!

Mega Aggron barreled forward like a heavy tank, flattening everything in its path as it charged straight toward Dragonite.

“[Protect]!”

Boom!

Mega Aggron slammed headlong into the barrier Dragonite had erected. The two Pokémon glared fiercely at each other from close range, their eyes ablaze with fighting spirit.

With its attack blocked, Mega Aggron swiftly changed tactics.

“[Iron Tail]!”

Its thick tail lit up with a metallic gleam, sweeping sideways toward Dragonite.

But Lance’s Dragonite was his ace Pokémon for a reason. The moment Aggron switched attacks, Dragonite’s fist burst into scorching flames as it threw a punch.

“[Fire Punch]!”

Boom!

Tail met fist with a resounding clang, scattering sparks through the air.

But to Mega Aggron—boasting incredibly high physical defense along with its Filter ability—Dragonite’s Fire Punch was barely an itch.

Dragonite, however, wasn’t so lucky.

Having already lost so much stamina, Dragonite staggered backward after trading blows with Mega Aggron’s Iron Tail.

Even direct exchanges have become impossible…?

Lance inwardly considered switching to more evasive tactics.

But Aggron’s relentless assault left Dragonite no breathing room whatsoever.

Even worse, the poison coursing through Dragonite’s body steadily sapped its strength away.

All Lance could do now was have Dragonite wear Mega Aggron down as much as possible.

With each passing second, victory tilted further and further out of reach…

Finally, after another fierce Iron Tail strike—

Dragonite took a heavy hit to its stomach, its round body sent tumbling across the battlefield. After rolling several times, it finally came to rest, unable to move.

“Dragonite is unable to battle! Mega Aggron wins!” announced the referee.

...

“Nice!” Gary clapped excitedly at Giovanni’s victory.

But noticing August’s gaze upon him, Gary sheepishly lowered his hands, awkwardly justifying himself: “I was just thinking Giovanni’s victory would make you look even better when you beat him…”

“What are you so flustered about? I didn’t even say anything,” August replied lightly.

Yeah, right…

Gary rolled his eyes inwardly.

After Giovanni’s victory, the situation on the battlefield gradually became clearer.

Lance still had two Pokémon left. The advantage was that these two hadn’t entered battle yet, letting him freely adapt to Giovanni’s team.

Giovanni had three Pokémon remaining, giving him a numerical advantage. However, Beedrill’s stamina was heavily drained, and Mega Aggron had expended a lot of energy during its fight, though its formidable Mega-Evolved physical defense still posed a great threat.

Just as Ball Guy was seriously analyzing the situation—

“I'm counting on you, Charizard!” Lance, the Flying-type Champion, sent out his second Pokémon—Charizard!

With vivid orange skin and a tail blazing with fierce flames, Charizard immediately spewed fire upon entering the field, provoking Mega Aggron aggressively.

Among Lance’s Pokémon, Charizard was indeed an excellent counter to Aggron.

Specializing in special attacks, Charizard was a far better match than Gyarados in the current situation.

But as Lance confidently summoned Charizard, he realized Giovanni was also switching Pokémon.

Mega Aggron was withdrawn, replaced by Kangaskhan, who had appeared multiple times already.

Seeing Giovanni send out Kangaskhan, August raised an eyebrow.

Giovanni’s really planning to challenge Lance’s raw strength directly?

The instant Kangaskhan entered, it swiftly clapped its palms, shooting a beam of energy straight toward Charizard in the air. The surprise attack staggered Charizard briefly.

[Fake Out]!

Caught completely off-guard, Charizard’s initial reaction was confusion—followed immediately by irritation.

Roaring angrily, Charizard inhaled deeply and unleashed a burst of flames at Kangaskhan.

Giovanni’s Kangaskhan was incredibly adept at utilizing terrain advantages. As Charizard gathered flames, Kangaskhan had already ducked behind one of the rock pillars created earlier by Aggron.

Flamethrower collided with the rock pillar, the flames harmlessly blocked.

“[Rock Tomb]!”

At Giovanni’s command, Kangaskhan smashed its fist into the rock pillar, breaking it into chunks, then hurled these boulders straight at Charizard in the sky.

Kangaskhan acted like a relentless cannon, mercilessly firing stones toward the airborne Charizard.

Forced into evasive maneuvers, Charizard weaved frantically through the air, completely overwhelmed by Kangaskhan’s barrage, unable to counterattack.

“Charizard, gain some altitude!”

At Lance’s command, Charizard quickly soared higher, climbing beyond the reach of Kangaskhan’s thrown rocks.

Giovanni watched this scene with a faint smirk. Instead of chasing Charizard, he took this opportunity to order Kangaskhan to buff itself.

“[Focus Energy]!”

Kangaskhan’s critical-hit rate rose!

At that moment, Charizard finally steadied itself in the sky. Locking onto Kangaskhan below, it roared fiercely, folded its wings tight, and dove toward the ground.

When it was about ten meters from the ground, Charizard abruptly spread its wings again.

Switching smoothly from diving into gliding, Charizard unleashed a massive fireball it had been charging, which expanded midair into a large, blazing “大” shape.

[Fire Blast]!

But Kangaskhan was already prepared as Charizard’s fierce attack descended, instantly digging straight underground—

It vanished from the battlefield.

Boom!

Losing its target, the Fire Blast slammed into the ground, blasting a crater in the arena floor.

At the same moment, Kangaskhan emerged safely from another spot at the far end of the arena.

Having carefully observed the entire battlefield, Charizard and Lance immediately spotted Kangaskhan.

“[Air Slash]!”

Flapping its wings, Charizard unleashed razor-sharp blades of compressed air with piercing whistles, slicing directly at Kangaskhan.

Kangaskhan, having just emerged from underground, didn’t dodge this time—instead, it raised an arm to block the incoming strikes.

As Air Slash successfully landed, Charizard roared triumphantly, preparing to press its advantage.

But Kangaskhan, enduring the attack, moved even faster:

[Hydro Pump]!

Kangaskhan aimed carefully and unleashed a fierce Hydro Pump straight toward Charizard.

The sudden shift instantly disrupted Charizard’s offensive momentum. Knowing it absolutely couldn't afford to take a direct hit, Charizard quickly flapped its wings, twisting aside in midair to dodge.

But right at that moment, Kangaskhan rushed toward Charizard at full speed.

[Thunder Punch]!

Kangaskhan’s fist crackled violently with electricity as it swung directly at Charizard.

Electrical sparks flashed as Charizard barely managed to evade Kangaskhan’s heavy punch.

Now at close quarters, the two Pokémon finally began the most intense melee of the battle so far.

“[Brick Break]!”

Infuriated, Charizard’s claws lit up as it slashed lightning-fast across Kangaskhan’s chest, drawing out an expression of pain.

But this pain wasn't nearly enough to halt Kangaskhan’s relentless assault.

From the spectators’ perspective, Kangaskhan and Charizard seemed evenly matched, each swiftly trading blows and separating immediately afterward.

“Giovanni’s won this,” August remarked calmly.

Gary: “?”

How exactly can you tell that already? Because I can’t see it at all.
