Chapter 354 The First Partner: Charizard!
Center of the field.
Li Luochen and Liu Song stood facing each other. They reached out and shook hands, and the atmosphere instantly became solemn and tinged with a sense of melancholy.
Liu Song stared at Li Luochen, then suddenly smiled, his grip tightening slightly: "I can't believe it, you've actually come this far in just a few months."
Li Luochen calmly shook hands with him: "It's just a combination of luck and hard work."
"Luck? Sometimes, luck is also a part of ability; otherwise, why would Lady Luck favor you?"
Liu Song shook his head and sighed.
"Time flies. You used to be just a kid who had just taken over the dojo and was worried about your future. Now... you can stand in front of me and compete for a spot in the provincial dojo."
"Do you know what this means? If you win this step and truly secure your position as the provincial dojo master, you will be the master of the province."
"In the entire Fujian province, there are very few people who can stand in your position."
Having said that, Liu Song released his grip, took a half step back, and his eyes blazed with a fierce fighting spirit: "So today, I won't hold back."
"You're the first opponent in recent years to force me to give it my all!"
Upon hearing this, Li Luochen's expression softened slightly, losing some of his usual nonchalance.
Facing Liu Song, a senior who had watched him grow up and whose father had known him since childhood, even though he was a ruthless and decisive demon at heart, he still maintained full respect and politeness.
"Uncle Liu, you flatter me."
"I wouldn't have been able to get to where I am today without the help of all the seniors along the way, and you have always been my role model."
After a slight pause, Li Luochen looked up at Liu Song, his eyes filled with both respect and the fighting spirit of a trainer: "However, I will not back down in the semi-finals. I will fight you with all my might."
"This is both a sign of respect for you and an explanation to myself regarding this match."
"Hahaha! Good! Well said!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Song immediately threw his head back and laughed loudly, his voice booming and clear, echoing across half of the arena.
He patted Li Luochen's arm heavily, his eyes full of approval. "Then I'll be looking forward to your performance! Regardless of the outcome of today's battle, you'll make the entire Fujian province look at you with new eyes!"
After speaking, Liu Song said no more, turned around and strode towards his battle area, his body already exuding the powerful aura unique to Dragon-type trainers.
Li Luochen also turned around and calmly returned to his battle seat.
The rules for the semifinals remain unchanged: each trainer can field three Pokémon.
This time, Li Luochen did not use any newly recruited combat forces, but directly finalized the three main forces that had accompanied him all the way to the present.
Charizard, Dragonite, and Gullardon.
These were the first three Pokémon he captured, fought alongside him, and grew from nothing to something, from weak to strong.
Facing Liu Song, a senior who watched him grow up and was also a Dragon-type Gym Leader, the significance of sending these three Pokémon into battle far exceeded the outcome itself!
"The pre-match greetings are over, the competition officially begins!"
The referee loudly announced the start of the match.
"Charizard, show Uncle Liu how much we've grown!"
Li Luochen raised his hand and threw out the Poké Ball.
The menacing Charizard took the lead, spreading its wings and unleashing a scorching wave of air that swept across the arena. Its roar sent the entire stadium into a frenzy.
At the same time, Liu Song also threw out his Poké Ball.
As the light faded, a dragon-type Pokémon with four legs and a lithe, agile form appeared.
Its body is predominantly deep blue, but its head, neck, limbs, and the inside of its tail are dyed a striking blood red.
Its abdomen and jaw are covered by three hard shells, and above its eyes are two sharp, red protrusions like bone spurs. There are also three small triangular wings on the sides of its head, and a pair of blood-red giant wings on its back are fluttering slightly, carrying a violent and oppressive aura!
It was one of Liu Song's main forces, the Violent Dragon!
Upon its appearance, its ferocious dragon-type aura clashed head-on with Charizard's, instantly creating a tense atmosphere.
Charizard, Mega Evolution!
Li Luochen didn't test him at all; he immediately unleashed his full power.
The keystone on his left wrist suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, resonating strongly with the Mega Stone X hidden within Charizard's body.
The dazzling super energy completely enveloped Charizard, gradually transforming it into a cocoon.
In the instant the light exploded, the once imposing Charizard underwent a dramatic change in form.
An overwhelming sense of pressure, far exceeding that of its normal form, suddenly spread out, causing the opposing Salamence to instinctively tense up!
The Charizard's appearance changed drastically. Black skin replaced its previous orange skin, covering its entire body, and the flames turned into a seemingly cold but actually hot blue!
Super Charizard X has officially arrived!
"Salamander, Meteor Shower!"
As a Dragon-type Pokémon trainer, Liu Song's commands were decisive and efficient, aligned with Li Luochen's ideas, and he showed no intention of testing the waters.
Dragon-type Pokémon should battle in a fair and square, spectacular way!!!
"Roar!"
The giant, blood-red wings of the Salamence vibrated violently, and a sudden gust of wind swept across the arena.
Rumble!!!
The sky darkened, and the churning clouds changed color.
The next moment, dozens of blazing meteorites tore through the clouds and crashed down on Super Charizard X!
"Using a powerful move right from the start...?"
Looking at the meteor shower crashing down from the sky with tremendous force, Li Luochen showed no panic whatsoever; instead, the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile.
As a trainer of Dragon-type Pokémon.
Li Luochen knew very well that although the meteor shower was powerful, it required the caster to guide and control it throughout the process. At this moment, the Flying Dragon was in a stunned state where it could not move!
This is the best chance to retaliate!
"Charizard, don't dodge! Use Dragon Dive to attack Salamence!"
At a command, Super Charizard X unleashed its full power, its azure flames surging and its domineering aura fully unleashed!
Ignoring the falling meteorites, it flapped its wings and transformed into a streak of black light, rushing straight towards the meteor shower!
boom! boom! boom!
Several meteorites struck the Super Charizard X, causing a burst of fire.
But it seemed completely oblivious, its charge unwavering, its azure flames still raging, and its speed not only undiminished but also exploded completely amidst the excruciating pain, forcefully breaking through the meteor shower and instantly closing in on the Salamence!
In the blink of an eye, the two giant dragons were almost upon each other!
"roar!!!"
Then, Mega Charizard X roared to the sky, unleashing its full Dragon-type energy. A massive dragon shadow condensed behind it, transforming into armor that enveloped its entire body.
When everyone looked up, they found that the sky was blocked out!
The terrifying pressure momentarily halted the movements of the Flying Dragon, and even the power controlling the meteor shower was momentarily disrupted!
This dragon's dive was unavoidable!
