Chapter 467 Gigantamax Charizard VS Gigantamax Urshifu!
Lulina's understanding of Dynamax is actually not much more than that of the average viewer sitting in front of the TV eating sunflower seeds.
So she had no idea that the Dynamaxing effect achieved using the "Dynamax Band" actually had a limited duration.
Naturally, they were puzzled as to why Xia Chi and Dan Di didn't pull out this trump card and engage in a passionate battle as soon as they appeared.
In her view, shouldn't such a powerful force that can instantly change the course of a battle be unleashed at the very beginning and smashed into the opponent's face?
"If you don't make a sound, you're fine; but when you do, you'll amaze everyone."
Sonia, who was standing nearby, came over at the right moment, winked at the camera, and struck a pose as if she were giving a science tip.
"Here are some tips for Dynamaxing! Because the Max Bracer has a limited energy storage capacity, Dynamaxing can only be used three times. Please remember this when using Dynamaxing!"
As she spoke, she gestured with her three fingers and playfully shook them.
【Miss Sonia, hello gentle!】
[So that's how it is! Thank goodness it's a watered-down version. If it really lasted until the Pokémon lost its ability to battle, like Mega Evolution, that would be too overpowered... Otherwise, it would just grow gigantic and stand on the field until it dies, what would the opponent do?!]
However, this definitely puts more emphasis on timing. Three Dynamax moves aren't a small number, but they're not a huge number either. Used well, they're like a nuclear bomb; used poorly, they're just three duds, and you immediately revert to your original form...
[Looking forward to seeing how Prison Water and Champion Dan will utilize this! This is top-tier strategy; let's see who can land those three bullets on the most crucial spot first!]
[Sonia's explanation came at just the right time. I was just wondering why they didn't just Dynamax and go head-to-head.]
As Sonia explained, the fighting on the battlefield intensified further.
Having gained the upper hand, Danji decisively ordered: "Charizard, Air Blade!"
Interestingly, he didn't let Charizard use Fire-type moves, even though the sun was high in the sky and the power of Fire-type moves was greatly amplified.
Clearly, the sunny weather that was activated earlier was more to curb Martial Arts Master Xiong's fluid and continuous water-based attacks than to enhance his own fire attribute output.
This is a classic example of the top-level strategic thinking: "If I'm not doing well, neither should you."
As Leon's ace Pokémon, Charizard's attack speed is astonishing.
The attack was launched before the average viewer's retina could even register it.
The thin yet extremely powerful wings flapped shut with a swift and clean motion, without a single unnecessary movement.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of sharp blades formed from flight-attribute energy were launched in succession, as if a storm composed of transparent blades had sprung up out of thin air.
The sharp blades reflected a faint, cold light in the sunlight, their edges so sharp they seemed capable of cutting through the air itself, and they whistled as they flew straight toward Martial Arts Master Xiong.
The angle of each air blade was meticulously calculated, precisely blocking all possible evasion routes for Martial Arts Bear Master.
Xia Chi's response was concise and efficient.
"Rockfall."
The martial arts bear master's muscles were taut, his legs firmly planted on the ground like the roots of an old tree, clearly not dodging or avoiding, preparing to take the brunt of the fire-breathing dragon's air blade.
For Master Xiong, a veteran of countless battles, this level of attack was nothing to him; he could simply treat it as a massage.
Although the massage was a bit painful, it was still bearable.
At the same time, the rock-like energy in the air fluctuated violently, as if some enormous creature was awakening.
Above the Charizard, space seemed to be suddenly torn apart by an invisible giant hand.
A dozen or so rough, enormous rocks appeared out of thin air, each the size of a millstone, with sharp edges like knives, and their surfaces shimmering with a dark yellow rock-based energy glow.
These rocks trembled slightly in the air, locking onto their target below.
Then, it crashed down!
Rockfall!
Each rock carried immense force, falling like a meteorite, sealing off all of Charizard's escape routes.
Of course, the martial arts master Xiong Shi's signature Water Flow Combo was completely blocked by the bright sunshine.
However, Kuma is also adept at Rock-type moves that are four times more effective against Charizard.
Even though this isn't a signature move of the Martial Arts Bear Master, its power is somewhat diminished without that attribute bonus.
However, if it hits, the terrifying damage from the four-fold super-effectiveness can still give Charizard a real beating.
Trading an air blade for a rockfall—this deal is profitable no matter how you calculate it.
For a martial arts bear master with thick skin and the ability to suck blood, this is a huge win.
Just as the rockfall was about to strike, a red light appeared.
Leon raised his hand and lifted the Poké Ball, his movements so fluid and fast they were almost invisible, before returning Charizard to the ball.
The dozen or so millstone-sized rocks grazed the afterimage of the Poké Ball as it was recalled and crashed to the ground with a deafening roar, creating more than a dozen deep craters.
They narrowly escaped the falling rockslide.
No, it can't be said to be exactly right.
Rather, it was Dante's precise calculation.
He took advantage of the crucial moment when Dynamaxing requires returning the Pokémon to its Poké Ball—a seemingly simple maneuver to most—and precisely timed the Rock Slide to its last instant, causing Charizard to vanish into thin air and perfectly evading the devastating power of the Rock Slide.
The dozen or so rocks missed their target, only kicking up a cloud of dust.
Charizard, at full health, has entered the preparation phase for Gigantamax.
The Dynamax wristband on Leon's wrist emitted a dazzling seven-colored light, and surging energy rushed out like a tidal wave, flowing into the Poké Ball.
The light was so dazzling that many viewers instinctively squinted.
The Poké Ball instantly grew to an enormous size, about the size of a basketball, with dark red energy patterns flowing across its surface.
It seemed as if magma was flowing within it, and the silhouette of a fire-breathing dragon could be vaguely seen expanding continuously.
Dan took a deep breath, tensed the muscles in his right arm, and threw it with all his might.
The giant Poké Ball traced an arc, crossed half the battlefield, and crashed into the center of the arena.
A dazzling burst of light erupted, like a second sun rising in the arena.
In that instant, the entire palace arena was illuminated as brightly as day.
In the light, the figure of Charizard gradually appeared.
No, to be precise, it is the Gigantamax Charizard. Its lower body is a dazzling white, as if it is covered with a divine glow, and the rest of its body is more vibrant and eye-catching than its normal form.
On the skin of his abdomen and lower limbs, there were diamond-shaped patches, like a magnificent suit of armor, with flames faintly flickering at the edges of each patch.
Influenced by the power of Gigantamax, the flames burning within its body have been elevated to an unprecedented level.
Not only are the iconic flames at its tail even more intense, like a constantly burning campfire, but flames also continuously emerge from its mouth and horns, making it seem as if the entire being has transformed into the embodiment of fire.
It slightly opened its mouth, and a ball of flame surged from deep within its throat, scorching and distorting the surrounding air.
The wings on its back are formed from greatly enhanced flames, no longer ordinary fleshy wings, but pure energy fire, burning fiercely, with each "feather" made up of leaping flames.
Each wave of the fan sent sparks flying, like a dazzling rain of fire falling onto the battlefield and igniting countless small flames.
Its overall height reaches nearly fifty meters.
What does this mean?
The dome of the Palace Arena is about this height!
The Gigantamax Charizard stood there, its head almost touching the dome, its enormous shadow covering half the battlefield, like a moving volcano, a living disaster.
The barrage of comments exploded instantly.
[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!]
[My mom asked me why I was kneeling while watching the live stream!]
[I take back my previous statement that Dynamax isn't as cool as Mega Evolution. How can Gigantamax Charizard be so cool! It's practically a work of art!]
Bigger is cooler! Bigger is justice! Bigger is everything! Truth will prevail!
[Wait, isn't Charizard Arceus's favorite son? It has two Mega Evolution forms, both incredibly cool, and now it has Gigantamax? Does this even make sense?]
Not enough, not nearly enough! Charizard trainers are caught in the sweet dilemma of whether to use Mega Evolution or Gigantamax!
[Look at those two frogs and turtles, both starter Pokémon, aren't you ashamed?! Look at Charizard! And look at you!]
[The technique Champion Leon demonstrated is quite practical; using Dynamax to dodge moves is incredibly imaginative. Is this the true strength of a world champion?]
The Gigantamax Charizard lowered its head, looking down at the incredibly tiny Urshifu in its normal form standing before it, like a Pikachu at the feet of an adult.
A deep roar came from the depths of his throat, a sound like the muffled rumble before a volcanic eruption, causing the entire arena to tremble slightly.
The flames at the corners of his mouth erupted even more fiercely with his roar, like two fire dragons dancing in the air.
Gigantamax Charizard has officially been unveiled!
The atmosphere on the battlefield was instantly pushed to a climax.
In the audience, countless people stood up, holding their phones high, their flashes going off everywhere.
"Charizard, Gigantamax Abyssal Blaze!"
Leon's voice pierced through the clamor, commanding Gigantamax Charizard to unleash its first Dynamax move.
It is also Charizard's exclusive Dynamax move.
The fire-breathing dragon's huge belly swelled up like an inflated balloon, and the flames inside its abdomen burned fiercely, causing the temperature to rise rapidly.
The fire power within its body frantically condensed and compressed until it reached a critical point.
Immediately, an enormous, blazing fireball spewed from its mouth.
Wherever the fireball passed, the air was scorched and distorted, leaving a black scorch mark.
The rubble on the ground was heated red-hot by the residual heat of the fireball, and some even began to melt, turning into pools of flowing lava.
Martial Arts Master Xiong stood directly beneath the fireball, looking up at the ever-approaching "sun".
Without hesitation, Xia Chi shouted, "The water surges, charge forward!"
There are certainly better options.
For example, you could dodge first, using agile movements to avoid the attack; or you could counter with a rockfall, using rocks against flames.
For example, you could temporarily avoid the attack and wait for the Dynamax move to pass before looking for another opportunity.
But this is a Dynamax-themed exhibition match.
Faced with Charizard's incredibly cool and impressive attack, Xia Chi chose to confront it head-on.
Use your fists to fight against nuclear bombs.
The martial arts master, Bear Master, let out a deep roar, his eyes filled with no fear, only a burning fighting spirit.
With a sudden burst of strength from his legs, the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked and collapsed, the cracks spreading outwards like a spider web.
It soared into the sky, heading straight for the falling, blazing fireball overhead.
His right fist clenched tightly, and water-attribute energy frantically condensed, transforming into streaks of blue light that wrapped around his fist.
The streams of light spun faster and faster, becoming denser and denser, eventually forming a high-speed rotating vortex of water.
The water surged and blasted out!
The fist and the fireball collided violently in mid-air.
For a moment, the entire arena seemed to freeze in time.
Time seemed to stand still for a second.
Then, a deafening boom!
A deafening explosion rippled through the battlefield, the shockwave spreading like tangible ripples.
In the audience, countless people were so shocked that they covered their ears and instinctively closed their eyes.
Water vapor rose wildly, forming a huge white cloud that covered half the sky, like a mushroom cloud rising out of nowhere.
In the mist, the figure of the martial arts bear master could be vaguely seen being thrown backward by the shockwave, but it landed firmly on its feet, leaving two deep trenches on the ground, each more than ten meters long.
Water controls fire; this is an unchanging law of nature.
However, under the combined effects of a bright sunny day and Gigantamax, the power of this Gigantamax Abyssal Flame has risen to an outrageous level.
Even with the elemental advantage, the Martial Arts Bear Master was still blasted by this attack, and his fur was steaming hot, as if he had just been taken out of a steamer.
But in the instant the fireball struck, something even more terrifying happened.
Countless flames suddenly ignited on the battlefield.
These flames seemed to have a life of their own, spreading outwards from the center of the explosion and frantically licking everything that could burn.
The ground, rock pillars, and rubble were all engulfed by flames.
The entire venue was suddenly transformed into a sea of fire.
The flames reached several meters high, radiating intense heat. Even through the energy shield, those in the audience could feel the scorching temperature.
The Martial Arts Bear Master stood in the sea of fire, the flames constantly attacking its body, making a sizzling sound.
In the studio, Lulina's mouth gaped open, her eyes filled with disbelief: "The power of this Dynamax move... is just too terrifying!"
Sonia, standing to the side, shook her head and offered a professional explanation: "That's one aspect, but more importantly, this is Gigantamax Abyssal Blaze... which is the special additional effect of Charizard's exclusive Gigantamax move."
She paused, then continued, "Once it hits, it will burn the entire area, and opponents within it will suffer continuous fire damage."
Lulina gasped, instinctively covering her mouth: "Is it that exaggerated?"
Sonia nodded: "That's what makes exclusive Max Moves so terrifying—they deal high damage, cause continuous damage, and the damage effect can't be removed by conventional means."
Lulina nodded thoughtfully: "Similar to a 'burning' effect?"
Sonia nodded: "Pretty much, but there's no halving of physical damage; the damage is actually higher. Simply put, it's continuous bleeding. Whether you dodge it or not, you'll lose a lot of health during this time. And this effect is an area-of-effect effect, not a status ailment, so it can't be dispelled by moves like 'Healing Bell'."
Lulina clicked her tongue in amazement, her eyes filled with wonder: "Combined with the high power of this Dynamax move itself, it is indeed a very practical move, but..."
She paused, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "Isn't the name of this Dynamax move a bit too chuunibyou... 'G-Dynamax Abyssal Blaze'? Who came up with that name? I'm embarrassed to even say it out loud."
Sonia couldn't help but chuckle, her serious commentary persona instantly crumbling: "Who else could it be? If Urshifu goes Dynamax later, it'll probably unleash a Gigantamax Water Stream combo... I won't say who came up with the name~"
As she spoke, she made a "you know what I mean" expression.
The two women smiled at each other, and the atmosphere in the live stream became a little more relaxed.
[Hahaha, so funny! It's definitely cringeworthy, but it's cringeworthy in a very charming way!]
[G-Max Water Stream, G-Max Abyss Blaze... I suspect this naming style was created by a middle school student!]
]
[But he's really handsome! Just reading it aloud gives me a thrill!]
[Who cares if it's cringeworthy or not, as long as it works! As long as we win, we don't care what it's called!]
[However, Sonia's analysis was truly professional; who can resist that?]
[Martial Arts Master Xiong: I can handle it (forced smile)]
Master Xiong is being roasted on a fire, literally...
Meanwhile, fierce fighting continues on the battlefield.
The aftermath of the Gigantamax Abyssal Blaze was still raging, turning the entire arena into a giant furnace.
Those once towering rock pillars are now red-hot from the flames, and some have even begun to crack and collapse.
The rubble fell into the sea of fire, sending up a shower of sparks.
Flames flowed through the cracks in the ground, as if the entire earth was burning.
Even someone as tough as Martial Arts Master Xiong suffered considerable damage at this moment.
To reiterate, even with maxed-out enhancements, Kuma might possess attack power capable of threatening a legendary Pokémon like Palkia.
However, its relatively weak defense makes it evenly matched with most champion-level Pokémon.
Not to mention that his opponent is Leon's Gigantamax Charizard.
However, the one-sided defense has reached its limit.
Xia Chi took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly.
He used a Poké Ball to bring Urshifu back into the Poké Ball.
The enormous wristband in his hand emitted the same radiance as that of Emperor Ju Dan just now.
Energy poured down like a waterfall, flowing into the Poké Ball.
The Poké Ball expanded rapidly, instantly becoming the size of a basketball. Dark red energy patterns flowed across its surface, and the figure of Urshifu could be vaguely seen growing larger within it.
Xia Chi exerted force with his right arm and threw it with all his might.
The Poké Ball sliced through the flames and crashed into the center of the battlefield.
The light exploded.
Gigantamax Urshifu has arrived!
