Chapter 195 195: Head-On Clash
For now, all distractions were set aside—
The battle came first.
---
Charizard could barely contain its fighting spirit.
---
"Ready, Reggie?" Sam said with a faint smile.
"The battle begins now."
---
Reggie took a deep breath.
He could already feel the pressure radiating from Charizard.
---
"Drapion—Pin Missile!"
---
Drapion immediately moved.
Energy gathered at its mouth, forming a glowing green orb. In the next moment—
A barrage of silver needles shot out toward Charizard.
---
"Too basic," Sam said lazily.
"That kind of move won't beat me."
---
"Charizard—Flamethrower. Burn it all."
---
Charizard didn't hesitate.
A torrent of blazing fire burst from its mouth—
Intercepting every single Pin Missile mid-air.
---
The Bug-type attack stood no chance.
It was completely incinerated—
Gone without a trace.
---
Reggie inhaled sharply.
That Flamethrower…
Charizard clearly wasn't even trying its hardest.
---
If this is just a casual attack…
---
Pressure mounted instantly.
---
He steadied himself.
"Drapion—Hone Claws!"
---
Drapion stopped attacking and adjusted its stance.
Its claws scraped against each other with a sharp, grating sound—
Boosting both its attack power and accuracy.
---
Normally—
This would be the perfect chance to interrupt.
---
But Sam didn't move.
---
He simply stood there, hands in his pockets, watching calmly.
---
Reggie noticed.
And understood.
---
He's holding back…
---
It wasn't arrogance—
Just a gap in strength.
---
Even so—
Reggie didn't feel insulted.
He knew the truth:
If Sam fought seriously from the start—
He wouldn't stand a chance.
---
"Draaaapion!!!"
---
Fully powered up, Drapion roared.
Its confidence surged—
As if it had become unstoppable.
---
Charizard narrowed its eyes.
---
You dare roar at me?
---
With a furious growl, it answered back.
---
The clash of roars echoed through the entire Gym.
---
The stage was set.
---
Sam's expression sharpened.
---
He had no interest in dragging this out.
---
"Charizard—Flare Blitz!!!"
---
A real fight—
Should be decided head-on.
---
Reggie's eyes lit up.
This was exactly what he wanted.
---
In a drawn-out fight, Charizard's Flying advantage was overwhelming.
But in a direct clash—
Drapion had a chance.
---
"Drapion—don't back down! Cross Poison!!"
---
Purple venom coated Drapion's claws.
The hooks darkened into a sinister black-purple—
Even from a distance, the stench of poison was obvious.
---
It looked terrifying.
---
But Sam wasn't impressed.
---
Flashy doesn't mean strong.
---
Compared to true masters of poison—
This was nothing.
---
Flames erupted around Charizard's body—
Wrapping it in blazing armor.
---
Red and violet fire surged violently—
Radiating overwhelming power.
---
Flare Blitz wasn't just defense—
It was pure, explosive force.
---
Then—
Charizard moved.
---
Fast.
---
So fast—
Drapion couldn't track it with its eyes.
---
Relying on instinct alone, it swung its claws forward—
---
Hit!
---
A smile appeared on Drapion's face.
---
But in the next instant—
---
BOOM!!
---
Charizard smashed straight through its defense—
Driving it into the ground with unstoppable force.
---
The arena shook violently.
Dust and smoke exploded outward—
Covering the battlefield.
---
Silence.
---
Seconds passed.
---
The smoke slowly cleared.
---
At the center—
Charizard stood tall.
---
Drapion—
Was gone.
---
Reggie rushed forward and looked down.
---
There—
At the bottom of a deep crater—
Drapion lay embedded in the ground,
Its body scorched red,
Completely unconscious.
---
"Drapion is unable to battle! Charizard wins!"
---
Yellow raised the flag and announced the result.
---
Reggie exhaled slowly.
---
He recalled Drapion into its Poké Ball.
---
They had done their best.
---
But they still lost.
---
And yet—
---
He didn't feel bitter.
---
Because this defeat—
Was absolute.
---
A clean, undeniable loss—
In a head-on clash.
