"So strong!"
Xiao Zhi exclaimed subconsciously when he saw Charmander's proud Flamethrower being blocked; it was the first time he had ever witnessed such a sight.
'No wonder Li Dage told me not to be careless; now I understand.' Xiao Zhi broke out in a cold sweat, Erika's strength truly opened his eyes.
At that moment, Vileplume majestically descended beside Charmander, its petals dancing gracefully, sweeping over like a thousand armies, forcefully tossing Charmander into the sky.
Countless delicate petals pierced Charmander's body like daggers, instantly leaving dense, crisscrossing wounds.
Charmander continuously opened its fiery mouth, attempting to incinerate these petals into ashes, but the increasingly surging petal offensive still left it feeling helpless.
As Charmander slowly fell back to the ground, it struggled to prop up its exhausted body, its eyes burning with endless rage, an unyielding will, eager to defeat the powerful Vileplume before it.
Xiao Zhi understood immediately; he resolutely put down his poké ball, staring intently at the fiercely battling Charmander, and continued to shout, "Since long-range attacks are ineffective, use Fire Fang!"
Charmander's stamina had not yet dropped to the point of triggering Blaze; it still ran tirelessly, its mouth slightly open, a flash of fire appearing like a swift, lightning-white rainbow.
The current Vileplume was no longer in the state it was in when it used Petal Dance; it was exhausted and panting, looking as if it could be slaughtered at will.
Three ducks appeared above Vileplume's head, indicating a confused state.
Seeing this, Erika also began to command, "Vileplume, take this move, then use Growth!"
Charmander rushed in front of Vileplume, suddenly opening its maw, and a Fire Fang, Cohesion with incredibly powerful energy, appeared before Vileplume's eyes.
Boom!
A loud bang came, and the moment Fire Fang touched Vileplume's body, a violent burst of energy erupted.
Vileplume was struck by this powerful energy, its entire body trembled violently for a moment, it froze for a moment, then let out a loud sound, and the remaining petals around its body scattered under the impact of the flames.
"This Charmander has been trained very well by you; are you trying to use this opportunity to make it evolve?" Erika chuckled, as if seeing through Xiao Zhi's thoughts, and said.
Xiao Zhi scratched his head; he had only sent Charmander out because it hadn't battled for a long time. Since the other party said so, he might as well go along with Erika's words: "Hmm, that's right."
After being hit by Charmander, Vileplume also snapped out of its confused state. It followed Erika's previous command, making its body grow, and its size also increased slightly.
With a flushed face, Vileplume's physical and special attacks increased.
Now Xiao Zhi dared not be careless; even Vileplume, which hadn't boosted its special attack, could block Flamethrower. What would happen now that it had an extra layer of boost?
Before the opponent could react, Xiao Zhi quickly commanded, "Use Flamethrower with maximum power!"
Charmander frowned tightly, its entire aura suddenly erupting, flames surging out from its mouth, forming an incredibly scorching Flamethrower.
The flames presented an extremely rich red glow, like a scorching blade tearing through the air, instantly cutting through it and fiercely spraying towards the enlarged Vileplume.
"Vileplume, elegantly dodge this move, Petal Dance."
Vileplume followed Erika's command, elegantly evading Charmander's powerful Flamethrower.
Its body swayed lightly, countless petals danced in the air, forming a dazzling rain of flowers, cleverly avoiding the invasion of the flames.
Charmander's Flamethrower missed its target, leaving a scorching burn mark on the ground, but for Vileplume, this was just a small challenge.
It effortlessly regained its elegant posture, its eyes sparkling with a charming glow, its increased power after growing in size was evident.
Xiao Zhi realized that defeating the Vileplume in front of him would not be easy. He clenched his fists tightly, determined to overcome this powerful opponent.
Just as Xiao Zhi thought Vileplume had stopped attacking, he unexpectedly saw a fierce glint flash in the opponent's eyes, and Vileplume pounced towards Charmander with astonishing speed. A dense sea of flowers immediately emerged with countless fresh flowers, filled with a powerful aura.
'To be honest, it's a bit like Grassy Terrain, but it's not.'
Li Qingfeng saw such a scene and recalled this move, which was only added in the sixth generation. The situation under Vileplume's feet indeed had some potential for Grassy Terrain.
Li Qingfeng began to calculate the damage Vileplume could inflict, and through an analysis, he found that the opponent could not two-hit KO Charmander, so he temporarily put aside some worries and continued to observe the development of the battle.
Xiao Zhi aimed at a larger gap in Vileplume's dancing petals; he had a flash of inspiration and immediately shouted, "Charmander, take the opportunity to spin and drill into that gap, and at the same time use Flamethrower!"
Charmander immediately understood Xiao Zhi's intention and acted quickly. It nimbly dodged Vileplume's attack, but still took a little damage.
After drilling into that gap, the flames on Charmander's tail blazed with enthusiasm, and it kept spinning, spraying a red flame from its mouth.
The flames formed a whirlwind-like fiery vortex as they spun, directly engulfing the surrounding petals. This powerful fiery energy spread rapidly.
Charmander's stamina was just at the critical point for triggering Blaze, and this Flamethrower far exceeded its previous power, directly dealing a powerful blow to Vileplume.
This wave was: maxed out, truly maxed out!
Vileplume fell to the ground. It got up, far from its elegant appearance when it first appeared. This time, it did not fall into a confused state.
Rather, that fall directly woke it up.
The current battle situation was extremely tense, and both sides felt the critical moment of victory or defeat. Xiao Zhi and Erika unhesitatingly issued their final commands.
"Charmander, Flamethrower!"
"Vileplume, Petal Dance!"
Charmander's mouth quickly spewed out a scorching flame. It spun its body, spreading the flames into a firestorm that rapidly assailed Vileplume.
At the same time, Vileplume also went all out. Its body spun, and its petals danced rapidly like swords, forming a storm of petals.
Flames and petals collided in the air, erupting with astonishing energy fluctuations. The scorching flames and sharp petals intertwined, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
The atmosphere on the battlefield became extremely tense, both sides going all out, determined to achieve ultimate victory. Who would win could only be revealed by the outcome.
