Chapter 252 252: The Final Trap
There was a limit to how much Dragon Dance could boost power. After strengthening twice in a row, Charizard Y had already reached its peak.
Its orange scales had turned a deeper red. Sam could feel the heat radiating from its body rising rapidly. Each breath it took released scorching flames, and its chest heaved from the strain.
"Charizard Y, Fire Blast!"
With Bangila holding back Zapdos's attacks, it was finally Charizard Y's moment.
A blazing symbol of fire formed in midair and slammed directly into Zapdos's right wing.
Focused on controlling its lightning, Zapdos didn't react in time. The flames clung to its wing, burning fiercely.
Zapdos let out a sharp, pained cry.
The opening had appeared.
"Bangila, Desert Sword!"
Sam didn't hesitate. He immediately launched a relentless follow-up attack.
The sandstorm swirling through the sky began to gather. Countless grains of sand condensed into curved blades, forming deadly scimitars that slashed toward Zapdos from every direction.
But Zapdos panicked.
Its injured wing hadn't even recovered when the next attack arrived. Golden electricity surged wildly across its body as it unleashed lightning in all directions without restraint.
The sand blades shattered instantly, breaking back into loose grains.
The attack had been neutralized again—
—but Sam didn't panic.
Instead, a confident smile appeared on his face.
Zapdos was no longer as composed as before. Under the continuous pressure from Bangila and Charizard Y, its movements had slowed. Fatigue was beginning to show.
The moment to claim victory was approaching.
Sam's mind became perfectly calm.
He didn't have many chances left. This next move had to decide everything.
"Charizard Y, Fire Spin!"
This wasn't meant to deal heavy damage—it was a distraction.
While Charizard Y harassed Zapdos, Bangila would prepare the finishing blow.
As Charizard Y approached, it continuously released flames, forcing Zapdos to waste energy defending.
Zapdos's patience snapped.
Though Charizard Y couldn't deal decisive damage, it buzzed around relentlessly, like an annoying insect that refused to leave.
Fury filled Zapdos's eyes. Even Sam could see the bloodshot veins forming.
Sam gently patted Charizard Y beneath him—both to encourage it, and to steady himself.
But suddenly—
His heart sank.
Lightning had already surrounded them.
The trap had closed.
At this point, Sam could only trust Bangila. If Bangila couldn't land a decisive blow now… everything would be over.
Zapdos's enraged roar echoed through the sky. The surrounding lightning began to compress inward, shrinking the space around Sam and Charizard Y.
Closer.
Closer.
The crackling sound of electricity filled his ears.
The pressure became unbearable.
Sam's body trembled slightly from the stray currents.
He couldn't wait any longer.
"Charizard Y—Overheat!!!"
He made the call instantly.
Charizard Y opened its jaws wide. The massive amount of pent-up energy finally found an outlet and erupted all at once.
A torrent of blazing fire exploded outward—
—and tore a massive hole through the lightning prison.
An escape path appeared.
With the last of its strength, Charizard Y burst through the opening.
They escaped.
Sam inhaled deeply, the cool air rushing into his lungs. Only then did he truly feel alive.
Behind him, Zapdos stared at the torn lightning field, its expression turning even darker.
Being toyed with again and again by what it saw as mere "ants"—
—it had completely lost control.
With a furious cry, Zapdos spread its massive wings and charged straight toward them.
But Sam smiled.
This was exactly what he had been waiting for.
"Bangila—grab it!!!"
Now—
the trap was complete.
