Chapter 305: Burn It All, Coalomass!
Chapter 305: Burn It All, Coalomass!
Ishin leaped down from the high platform, bathed in the dazzling spotlight.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Battle Dome!" Ishin's voice boomed, igniting the crowd.
"Ishin-sama!" The audience erupted in cheers.
Jinghe's Poke Ball at his waist opened on its own, and Bear Apprentice stood before him, its expression serious and focused, fists clenching and unclenching.
"Kukaa!"
"Hah! Fairy!"
Jinghe lightly touched his forehead, recalling Bear Apprentice.
"It's not your turn yet."
Amidst the cheers, Ishin landed in the center of the battle arena, spreading his arms wide with a touch of narcissism.
"Today, let's all enjoy the battle to the fullest!"
The crowd roared with excitement.
Most of the cheering fans were middle-aged women.
Yasha, Da Wu, and the others, seated among the audience, exchanged glances, slightly taken aback by the enthusiastic response.
"It seems not everyone is here just for Teacher Jing He's battle."
"Ishin-san, the leader of the Battle Frontier, is quite popular himself," Da Wu remarked.
Before Jinghe's arrival, Ishin had been instrumental in boosting the revenue of the Battle Frontier.
This was why Aida was so confident in gathering such a large audience in just one night; Ishin's popularity was not to be underestimated.
However, Du Juan felt a slight blush creep onto her cheeks as she watched Ishin's somewhat 'embarrassing' moves.
Da Wu and Yasha nodded in agreement.
[So handsome!]
Kira Kyi, on the other hand, watched Ishin leap from the platform with a glimmer in her eyes.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
"Teacher Jing He, let's battle!"
Ishin exuded confidence as he elegantly tossed out two Poke Balls.
"Today, I present to you a fusion of fire and water, both hot and cool!"
A Swampert and a Rapidash emerged, capturing everyone's attention.
"Swampert, the Swamp Pokemon, a Water/Ground-type and the final Lotom form of Mudkip!"
"Rapidash, the legendary Pokemon, a Fire-type and the Lotom form of Ponyta!"
These were Ishin's signature Pokemon, and his double battle strategy was known as the "Flame and Water Fusion Tactics."
Jinghe had always felt a bit embarrassed when it came to Ishin, as if there was an inexplicable sense of shame.
But today, he decided to face the challenge head-on, choosing not to overthink his strategy.
This would be Coalomass's first official battle since joining Jinghe's team.
Jinghe had absolute faith in Coalomass.
As for Hachubo, its performance in battles was always reliable.
Bear Apprentice, on the other hand, was better suited for another battle facility.
"Battle, begin!"
"Roar!"
Rapidash let out a fierce roar, its intimidating aura rippling through the air.
The referee, seated in a special hovering platform, shouted.
"Hachubo, Dragon Dance!"
Jinghe commanded without hesitation.
"Roar!"
Hachubo's wings extended swiftly from its head, and with a vibrating motion, it began to spin in a peculiar rhythm.
Ishin, not one to waste time, issued his own commands.
"Rapidash, Haste!"
"Swampert, Earthquake!"
Rapidash was enveloped in a white aura, dashing towards Hachubo with incredible speed, aiming to make the enhanced Hachubo pay for its bold opening move.
Swampert, on the other hand, slammed its fists into the ground, causing a violent tremor. This move was clearly targeted at Coalomass, as Ground-type moves posed a significant threat to the Fire-type Pokemon.
"Grab Hachubo's tail."
Jinghe narrowed his eyes, his fists clenching unconsciously.
For some reason, commanding a Fire-type Pokemon made his heart burn with an inexplicable passion.
Suddenly, he realized it was Coalomass's Aura influencing his own, making his perceptions more direct.
But Jinghe didn't hold back; an occasional burst of passion wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Coalomass's expression was stern; this was its first battle, and it had to show its attitude and strength! Moreover, despite being its debut, it felt the trust emanating from both Jinghe and Hachubo.
At the start, I had Hacklon use Dragon Dance to boost its stats, all because I trusted it to withstand the fierce attacks of Swampert and Mightyena!
Coalomass, riding on Hacklon, took a deep breath as the Mightyena charged straight at them.
The flames atop its head and the fire at its collar suddenly intensified.
The fiery red glow in its eyes surged with passion.
I must live up to this trust! Jinghe shouted, "Flame Jet!"
Bear!
Intense flames burst forth, like a miniature sun, radiating heat and light.
The flames quickly condensed into a pillar of fire, shooting towards the charging Mightyena.
Boom!
For a moment, the flames seemed to dye nearly half the audience seats.
"Is that a Flame Jet?"
"Has Teacher Jinghe's Coalomass taken some kind of stimulant?"
"Coalomass: Rest assured, there's not a drop of urine in the stimulant!"
".
The pillar of fire suddenly exploded, scattering fireballs, and half of the battle arena turned charred black as the temperature in the entire stadium continued to rise.
"It's a breathtakingly brilliant flame," Ishin murmured.
Fortunately, Mightyena's Haste allowed it to dodge the very center of the flame's impact, and as a Fire-type Pokemon, it had some resistance to fire.
But Ishin quickly got excited and shouted, "Let them see our passion too! Mightyena, Blazing Inferno!"
"Roar!"
Mightyena's eyes flashed with determination, its fur bristling, and a scorching flame shot towards Hacklon and Coalomass in the air.
At the same time.
"Swampert, the guardian of steel! Water Pulse!"
Ishin's Swampert had a natural talent for Water-type moves, especially Water Pulse.
Its tail glowed as it drew water vapor from the air, condensing it into a growing water sphere above its head.
Finally, the pulsating water wave swept away.
This was Ishin's signature move, the Flame and Water Fusion Tactic!
Jinghe inwardly scoffed, "A fusion technique of the martial spirit?"
Adding water to fire without canceling out their power was clearly unreasonable.
However, his skepticism didn't affect his command and judgment in battle.
Hacklon swung its tail, tossing Coalomass in a smooth arc, avoiding the opponent's attack while moving closer to Swampert and Mightyena, using the fastest method to help Coalomass close in on its opponents.
The fusion was released!
At the same time, a gushing stream of water swirled around its tail, and a deep blue ripple appeared on the three beads on its body.
Water Tail!
Coalomass, falling rapidly towards the ground, didn't hesitate after dodging the attack.
Its eyes, once filled with fiery red light, suddenly turned a deep indigo, and its body was instantly enveloped in flames.
Charged Flame Assault!
With the speed from Hacklon's throw and the speed boost from Charged Flame Assault, it reached Swampert and Mightyena in the blink of an eye.
"Protect!"
This Charged Flame Assault seemed even more exaggerated than Mightyena's Flame Charge!
Ishin didn't dare underestimate it and immediately ordered Swampert to use Protect, blocking the front.
Boom! Boom!
In mid-air, the water vortex from Water Tail merged with the Flame and Water Fusion Technique, while Coalomass's Charged Flame Assault was blocked by Swampert's Protect.
"Haste!"
"Haste!"
Ishin and Jinghe shouted almost simultaneously.
Mightyena and Hacklon were both enveloped in white light.
The difference was that Mightyena charged towards Coalomass, while Hacklon, with its greater speed, intercepted in the middle!
"Water Gun!"
"Ember!"
Two more quick-release moves.
Boom!
After a brief and intense clash, the four Pokemon separated and stood on either side again.
"Phew—Finally, a chance to catch our breath. Amazing!"
"Yesterday, Hammer Sister was hammering the meat, and today, it's a dazzling display of moves!"
"Speaking of which, isn't Coalomass's flame a bit too intense?"
".
On the field.
"Mightyena, Blazing Inferno!"
"Swampert, Water Cannon!"
Ishin dared not relax for a moment, and after the separation, he commanded again.
This time, it was his strongest Flame and Water Fusion!
Whether it was Ishin, Swampert, or Mightyena, they all had great confidence in this move!
"Gurgle! Gurgle!"
Coalomass's eyes blazed with intensity as it breathed deeply, its fists clashing, and the flames on its body seemed to swell as if fanned by a bellows.
With each deep breath, sparks flew with every clench of its fists, and its entire body turned a deep crimson.
Flames soared into the sky, and its body temperature rose uncontrollably, distorting the surrounding air.
It was said that Coalomass's internal temperature could reach as high as 1000 degrees Celsius! And at this moment, Coalomass's body temperature...
Facing the surging flames and turbulent water currents, Jinghe gazed deeply at Coalomass, a slight smile curling his lips.
Is that so?
Are you that confident and determined?
When it came to self-confidence, Coalomass had never feared anyone!
So, without hesitation—
A hum filled the air.
Jinghe's Aura overflowed, and the flames surrounding Coalomass surged once more.
The ground beneath them seemed to melt, transforming into flowing lava.
"Hachubo, help!"
"Roar~"
In its first battle, Coalomass exuded such strong confidence that Hachubo, as its partner, naturally supported it unconditionally.
Power flowed from Hachubo into Coalomass's body.
"Gukaa! Gukaa! Gukaa—!!"
Coalomass roared, the flames atop its head blazing with the radiance of a Fire-type Pokemon.
Jinghe, connected to Coalomass through Aura, felt as if a flame was erupting within his own body.
He shouted, "Then, burn it all away, Coalomass!"
"Blazing Inferno!!"
The flames soared, instantly turning everyone's vision red, revealing only the terrifying flames within.
Bear!!
The fiery tongues, like the sun, devoured everything, creating waves of white heat.
Swellow's and Quagsire's Blazing Inferno and Water Cannon were consumed by the flames in an instant, leaving them in disbelief.
Half of the battle arena melted in the heat.
The spectators in the audience seats directly behind Ishin were horrified, fleeing to the sides.
Although they were far away, they felt that if they stayed any longer, they might be roasted dry! The transparent glass covering the Battle Dome, resembling a giant egg shell, shattered in the surging heat, scattering into sparkling fragments.
The entire arena fell silent, except for the terrifying sound of the flames.
Finally, as the flames dissipated, the massive battle arena was revealed to be almost half-melted! Quagsire and Swellow, covered in charred remains, lay defeated. And in the audience seats behind the arena, the front rows were coated in black.
It was foreseeable that after this incident, the Battle Dome would need to install energy-blocking facilities in the arena, which would not come cheap.
Adding to the cost of repairing the arena and the battle facilities, Aida would likely face another significant financial burden.
Coalomass slumped to the ground, panting heavily. Its originally red-hot body had turned into charred coal, with only occasional small embers flickering.
I need to get some Energy Orbs from Gramps when we get back, it thought as it looked at Hachubo.
Hachubo returned its gaze with a smile.
It extended its tail, and—
Slap!
Coalomass's palm gently patted Hachubo's tail.
The next moment—
Boom!!
The entire arena erupted in loud cheers.
"Burn it all away! That's so cool!"
"Art is burning!"
"Quagsire and Swellow both have double resistance to Fire-type moves, and this Blazing Inferno is just too overpowered!"
"So, Teacher Jinghe is also a Reverse Type Master!"
Do you have to fight a few reverse-type battles to be called a master now?
"Watching Teacher Jinghe's battles is an art of survival in itself!"
Several spectators on Ishin's side exclaimed.
"Tsk, everyone's showing off, and Mr. Aida is the one paying for it."
"Such beautiful flames."
Ishin's body was also covered in charred remains, and even his hair and wings had varying degrees of damage.
But his face showed a look of intoxication, the white teeth contrasting sharply against his blackened face.
"This 'Symbol of Tactics' is yours, Teacher Jinghe."
Ishin presented the Golden 'Symbol of Tactics' and added, "Although I lost in battle, the competition for the title of the Most Handsome Trainer has only just begun between us, Teacher Jinghe!"
Jinghe: "..."
Why don't you consider a battle with Da Wu first?
PS: Better late than never, here are 4000 words! I'll try again to see if I'm still dizzy.
