Chapter 54 Dragon Slaying
The closer the four Golduck got to the Salamence, the deeper their fear became under the effect of Intimidate.
At this moment, the Salamence decisively used the Scary Face skill, scaring them so much they couldn't move!
However, Qing Ze's Floette used Misty Terrain at this time to suppress the might of Dragonair Pokémon.
She also used Aromatherapy to calm the four Golduck.
After such treatment, the four Golduck's condition improved significantly.
The four Golduck, trembling, approached the roaring Salamence and extended their sinful hands!
Soak!
This is a miraculous skill that changes any type to Water Type!
At this moment, the Salamence struggled constantly, trying to break free from the layers of Vine Whip.
As Soak took effect, the Salamence clearly felt its mastery over Flying and Dragonair powers weakening.
While its affinity for rainy weather grew stronger, what good was it? It would only hurt more when attacked by Vine Whip!
After using Soak, the four Golduck almost immediately chose to retreat, not daring to stay for another second.
Meanwhile, seven or eight Trainers, each with a Quasi-Heavenly King Pokémon, personally led by Qing Ze, released their prized Pokémon.
In an instant, seven or eight Grass Type Quasi-Heavenly King Pokémon launched Grass Type attacks at the Salamence!
It was unrealistic to defeat the Salamence relying on the damage from these ordinary Trainers.
The real reliance was on the Yuan Family's Trainers who possessed Quasi-Heavenly King Pokémon.
Only they could inflict heavy damage on the Salamence, even a one-hit kill.
Now, the entire script unfolded exactly as Qing Ze had hoped.
Even though the Salamence was a Tianwang Pokémon, it was now in a desperate situation!
“Roar!” The Salamence let out a loud wail, and the next second, it was completely engulfed by Energy Ball and Seed Bomb!
As the smoke cleared, the Salamence was seen lying on the ground, its wings, its chest, and even its head somewhat blurred and weakened by the astonishing explosion.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene, as if they still couldn't believe it.
Such a Tianwang pseudo-legendary Pokémon was so easily slaughtered by everyone.
They had collectively achieved victory in this battle!
“We won? We won! We won!”
At this moment, everyone cheered for the battle, especially the numerous ordinary Spirit Hunters.
For them, merely participating in this siege of a Tianwang Salamence was an experience worth boasting about for a lifetime.
“Roar!” But almost the next second, an incredibly hot pillar of fire shot out from the Salamence's nest.
It was a Charizard, its entire body wreathed in flames, carrying a charred corpse in its mouth, which it casually tossed aside.
Now, it flew to the side of the Salamence's corpse, wailing incessantly, large tears falling from its eyes!
Seeing this scene, the surrounding people felt an indescribable surge of emotion, as if a sense of guilt arose from their hearts.

“Level 79!?” Qing Ze couldn't help but gasp at this level.
In that instant, the Charizard's gaze swept over Qing Ze and the other Trainers, filled with unvented grief and indignation.
And the fierce fire on the Charizard's tail now burned with even greater intensity.
As the flames burned, the entire body of the Charizard became shrouded in a blazing Inferno, and its eyes became clouded with a reddish hue!
“Roar!” The Charizard roared skyward, its voice deafening.
The rain clouds that had originally covered the sky dispersed amidst the Charizard's roar, and rays of sunlight began to penetrate the clouds, sprinkling down little by little.
Even the Yuan Family's dozen weather manipulators combined couldn't completely suppress this Sunny Day; instead, they were suppressed by the Charizard.
Qing Ze's face changed drastically, and he said, “Young master, be careful! This Charizard is not normal.
It has not only fully mastered its Blaze ability, allowing it to completely unleash the power of its flames.
It also seems to be able to enter an Outrage mode, which is very difficult even for Dragonair Pokémon to achieve, comprehensively boosting its resistance and destructive power.
Let's go quickly, a Charizard in this state can even fight a Tianwang Pokémon one-on-one.”
“With this Charizard's speed, who among us can escape if we try to run!” Qing Ze sneered, “What is there to fear in death for a true man? I will stand here and wait. We even slaughtered a Tianwang Salamence, what's one more Charizard?”
Qing Ze's words stabilized morale and calmed hearts, as if they no longer feared the Charizard's transformation.
Qing Ze knew that by standing here and directing the Trainers to resist, there was still a chance to contend with the Charizard.
If they truly ran, the morale of these Spirit Hunters would collapse.
Then, under the Charizard's pursuit, who knew to what extent the situation would spiral out of control.
That would truly be putting their lives in the hands of fate.
Therefore, at this moment, Qing Ze would absolutely not retreat, because if he did, he would truly lose everything.
At this moment, the Charizard, wreathed in flames, charged directly into the crowd, its indomitable momentum seizing the hearts of all.
And the Charizard's first hurdle was the Stealth Rock, which had transformed into countless energy shards.
At this moment, the Stealth Rock seemed to cut through the Charizard like sharp blades.
But the Charizard neither dodged nor flinched, allowing the Stealth Rock to cut its body.
And with each wave of attack, the flames on its body grew hotter, and the Charizard's Blaze ability was almost pushed to its limit.
“Blood sacrifice… Let's see how much blood you have.” Qing Ze calmly continued to deploy his forces, “Water group, attack.”
In an instant, Water Type Pokémon unleashed streams of Water Type attacks.
The most prominent among them were naturally the Elite Trainers of the Yuan Family's Ludicolo.
Their Ludicolo evolved using a Water Stone, and mastering Hydro Pump was a prerequisite for their evolution.
Now, Hydro Pump was fired in unison, forming a wall of water that stood before the Charizard, blocking its advance.
However, at this moment, the Charizard plunged directly into this wall of water.
The Charizard faced the Water Gun and Hydro Pump without fear, the scorching heat emanating from its body evaporated the fierce flames, and it broke through the Water Type Pokémon's obstruction with irresistible force.
“Still a bit low level!” Qing Ze felt a bit regretful seeing this scene.
If there was even one Quasi-Heavenly King level Pokémon among so many Water Type Pokémon that could suppress the Charizard.
And for the Charizard that had burst through the Hydro Pump array, before it was a vine defense net formed by Venusaur and Tangela.
But how could the defensive barrier formed by these Grass Type Pokémon stop a Charizard completely engulfed in flames?
The Grass Type vine net, which could even resist Salamence, was almost instantly burned through by the flames on the Charizard's body as soon as it got close, providing no obstruction whatsoever.
The Charizard continued its irresistible charge, and at this moment, blocking its path was a line of MT Pokémon, all at Elite Class level.
And at this moment, they basically all raised their hands and used Fling, and seventeen or eighteen Golem or Graveler were thrown out by this group of Pokémon in one go.
This defensive line was originally prepared by Qing Ze for the Salamence, but unexpectedly, it ended up being used against the Charizard.
At this time, the Charizard could naturally retreat, but if it had any thought of retreating in its Blaze state and Outrage state, it would definitely not be able to exert its peak power, and Qing Ze would definitely not give it a second chance to charge.
For it, retreating meant surrendering!
Therefore, the Charizard did not retreat, but chose to continue charging forward at this moment.
The thrown Golem exploded upon hitting the Charizard, stopping its advance at all costs.
But even so, there was no way to stop the Charizard; it still burst out from the thick smoke.
The entire MT formation was directly shattered by the Charizard, its powerful body seemingly unstoppable.
And after passing through this checkpoint, the Charizard was less than a hundred meters from the Trainers' position, with Qing Ze being the first in its path.
Qing Ze kept his promise and did not flee, so he was the first target in the Charizard's bloodshot eyes.
In an instant, seven thick beams of energy shot out from the hands of seven Quasi-Heavenly King Grass Type Pokémon.
Solar Beam!
This top-tier Grass Type ultimate skill, even within the Yuan Family, only Trainers of the main lineage or Quasi-Heavenly King Trainers were qualified to master it.
And at this moment, utilizing the Sunny Day created by the Charizard itself dispersing the rain clouds, the power of the seven Solar Beams was maximized.
But even so, the seven Quasi-Heavenly King Trainers did not intend to kill the Charizard with this one blow; they merely wanted to stop the constantly charging Charizard.
But, they couldn't do it.
A crimson glow emanated from the Charizard's body, and a glass-like red flame rose from its surface.
Inferno!
The Charizard endured the energy of the seven Solar Beams and continued its charge. At this moment, the Charizard had the resolve to burn itself out.
In an instant, the Charizard was less than thirty meters from the Trainer's camp.
“Green Leaf Power · Leaf Blade.”
Qing Ze summoned his starter Pokémon, a Sceptile that had reached level 78, which had always accompanied him.
And the Green Leaf Power in his hand fully bloomed, the amplification brought by the Green Leaf Power further elevated the Sceptile's state, and the Leaf Blades on the Sceptile's forearms became longer and sharper.
At this moment, the Sceptile stepped forward quickly, crossing paths with the Charizard in a flash.
With just one strike, the two Leaf Blades on the Sceptile's forearms instantly turned to ash, and the Sceptile was completely unable to withstand the Charizard's desperate charge.
“Dragon Power · Dragon Rush!”
Facing the unstoppable Charizard, Zhu Lan did not flinch.
She poured Dragon Power into her Garchomp, and seeing the Charizard charging like a meteor, she had her Garchomp charge directly at it.
Dragon Rush VS Inferno.
Even though the power of Inferno had been greatly weakened, the Garchomp still had no way to contend with it.
After a ten-second standoff, the Garchomp was knocked away by the Charizard.
But at this moment, the Charizard was also tottering, its burning flames seemingly dim.
And just at this moment, the Charizard had no time to enjoy the joy of victory.
The gracidea flower in the Floette's hand, on Qing Ze's shoulder, bloomed.
“Seed Flare · Awakening Power · Water.”
A brilliant blue light shot out from the gracidea flower, fiercely striking the Charizard.
The Charizard was instantly engulfed by this Water Type Seed Flare.
“It's a pity it didn't learn Rock Type Awakening Power!” At this moment, Qing Ze's only regret was this.
If it were a Rock Type Seed Flare, Qing Ze was confident he could utterly defeat the Charizard before him.
But now, Qing Ze felt uncertain.
Even though Floette's Seed Flare was theoretically a Quasi-Heavenly King attack, and it also benefited from type advantage.
But facing the seemingly unkillable Charizard, he truly had no confidence.
Finally, the smoke cleared, and just as Qing Ze had a bad premonition, the Charizard, which now looked like a spent force, had stubbornly held on with the Endure skill, clinging to its last breath, its ferocious dragon head pointed in Qing Ze's direction.
It looked at the Trainers, who were almost defenseless, with triumph, opening its mouth and spitting out a Dragon Rage.
The main reason was that the flames within its body had already burned out, which was the price paid for breaking through layers of resistance.
But in the Charizard's view, it was worth it, because it wanted to drag everyone to hell.
In the astonished and despairing eyes of everyone, they felt that the Charizard before them had gone mad.
Because the Dragon Rage the Charizard was spitting out at this moment was at least 90° off from the Trainers' location.
At this instant, in the Charizard's disbelieving gaze, what it thought were its enemies vanished with the sound of a popping bubble.
The scene the Charizard had just seen was merely an illusion created by Staryu using bubbles and Light Screen, causing light refraction.
Where there seemed to be the most people, there was actually no one at all.
“Roar!” The Charizard let out an unparalleled wail; it wanted to attack again.
But there was no longer any opportunity. It was not like a Tianwang Pokémon, capable of replenishing itself with Natural Force.
Under the dual enhancement of Blaze and Outrage, the Charizard indeed had the strength to contend with a Tianwang Pokémon.
But if it couldn't defeat its opponent in this one wave, for the Charizard, there would be no second wave of power.
And Qing Ze would not give it a chance to unleash a second wave of skills.
“It's all over…”
The Charizard took one last look in the direction where the Salamence lay, then closed its eyes.
