Chapter 693: Chapter 371: Blaziken vs. Venusaur, the Second Three Starter to Reach Elite! (Part 2)

Who could resist such a cool, powerful, and potential-filled Pokemon?

"Yeah, very cool, but my Charizard is still a bit cooler." Ash nodded, acknowledging Blaziken’s coolness while also praising his own Charizard.

Although Blaziken is indeed cool, the Fire Type starters from the Kanto Region are also equally cool, if not the coolest!

This was the first time Ash witnessed a Blaziken in the real world, though he had learned a lot from pictures and information. As one of the starters from the Hoenn Region, Blaziken not only has a cool appearance but also possesses formidable power, often considered unrivaled among Pokémon of the same level because of its agile and flexible body, often remaining unbeaten.

In terms of agility, probably only Infernape could compare to Blaziken.

"No way! Blaziken is the coolest!"

"No no no, Charizard is a bit cooler!"

"Blaziken!"

"Charizard!"

"..."

The two battling trainers argued over which starter was cooler, leaving the spectators, who were ready with snacks, utterly baffled. Are you guys still battling or not? If not, my mom is calling me home for dinner.

"Haha, it’s so strange to discuss this on the battlefield." As the argument continued, May couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Clearly, it’s a battle, yet on the battleground, they argued about irrelevant issues. Both Blaziken and Venusaur, previously ready to fight, loosened their tense postures and exchanged slightly helpless glances.

Their Trainers hadn’t given any commands, so they certainly couldn’t attack on their own; they had to wait until the Trainers finished arguing.

"Well then, let’s settle this after the battle. Venusaur, get ready to fight!"

"Anthea!"

"Exactly what I wanted, Blaziken, let’s go!"

"Cha!"

The Trainers returned to their battle mode, and the flames of battle reignited in Blaziken and Venusaur. Blaziken’s wrists burst into scorching flames as it entered battle mode, indicating its fighting spirit and strength.

"Strike first, Blaziken, use Flame Kick!" May commanded Blaziken to take the initiative with a swift hand gesture.

Blaziken’s strongest attack feature is its legs; those long legs are not just for show!

"Cha!" With a swift step forward, Blaziken leaped into the air, utilizing its leg strength to achieve a flying-like effect.

Mid-air, Blaziken’s foot erupted in blazing fire, momentarily raising the temperature of the entire arena.

"Frenzy Plant." Facing the countering Flame Kick, Ash was cautious, ordering Venusaur to use the Grass Type ultimate move, Frenzy Plant!

"Anthea!" Before Ash’s voice faded, Venusaur stomped the ground forcefully, causing the entire arena to tremble. Dozens of thick dark green vines shot out from the ground, transforming the arena into a forest!

"Cha!" Without hesitation, Blaziken in mid-air launched its flaming foot with a scorching gust toward Venusaur, the fiery heat distorting the surrounding air, as its body plummeted like a meteor.

But as Blaziken descended, the Frenzy Plant erected a solid barricade densely weaving in front of Venusaur.

"Boom!" A loud crash echoed as fire clashed with hardened vines, sparks flying all around with a fiery wave spreading outward, causing the spectators to instinctively retreat, exclaiming during the Gym Level battle’s overwhelming impact.

The formidable Flame Kick of Blaziken couldn’t shake the hardened vines, which should be weak against fire. Even if steel stood in Blaziken’s path, it might have been kicked apart, yet Venusaur’s Frenzy Plant was even harder than steel! Is it really plant life?

Blaziken mid-air, flames on its foot intensifying, looked determined to burn through the Frenzy Plant, but despite the growing flames, it barely charred the vines, let alone set them aflame.

"Blaziken, retreat and regroup!" May urged loudly, recognizing Venusaur’s level surpassed Blaziken’s, indicating it’s among the Elite Level!

This Venusaur wasn’t a typical Elite; its Grass Type Move resisted Fire’s burn, otherwise, even an Elite’s Frenzy Plant couldn’t block Blaziken’s Flame Kick like this.

As Blaziken prepared to follow May’s order and withdraw, the Frenzy Plant, waiting for the chance when flames on its leg weakened, counterattacked with its colossal vine like a flexible python, swiftly coiling up Blaziken’s leg.

In the blink of an eye, the Frenzy Plant enwrapped Blaziken’s entire body, making escape impossible.

Bound mid-air, Blaziken growled with fury, trying to break free with all its limbs but remained tightly constrained by the vine-like steel, unable to move.

"Ultimate Drain." Ash shouted confidently and as he spoke, the vines coiling Blaziken glowed green. It felt its physical and life force fading rapidly in the light.

Ultimate Drain is the strongest draining move in Grass Type, and even for the Fire Type Blaziken, usually would show limited effect—but now it wasn’t so.

Blaziken could feel its rapidly draining physical and life force. Losing only strength was one thing, but losing life’s essence dealt massive damage!

Besides Ultimate Drain, the Frenzy Plant continued to constrict, causing enormous harm coupled with it. Even the Fire Type Blaziken wouldn’t last long.

"Blaziken, use Flare Blitz to break free!" May shouted, seeing Blaziken’s pained expression, overshadowing the mystery of the Grass Type move’s strength. The priority was escaping the Frenzy Plant.

"Cha Mo!!" Blaziken exerted with fiery intensity, red flames engulfing its entire body, boiling the atmosphere as if summoning a blazing sun.

Under such fierce heat, the vines ensnaring Blaziken started burning, eventually turning the same color as the flames enveloping Blaziken.

Blaziken broke the weakened charcoal-like vines with strength, landed gracefully on the ground.

"Such a formidable Frenzy Plant, not even Flame Kick moved it, but now Venusaur’s in a static state, time for us to attack! Blaziken, Flare Blitz!" May quickly refocused, directing Blaziken to strike.

Using Frenzy Plant leaves a static period, and this pause is the chance to attack Venusaur. May couldn’t believe Venusaur’s body was as strong as Frenzy Plant!

"Cha!" Blaziken ignited flames on its feet, propelling itself upwards and then heavily landed!

"Really? My Venusaur is something else, Venusaur, use Earth Power!" Ash grinningly commanded Venusaur to counterattack. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Under May’s astonished gaze, Venusaur raised its front foot and stomped heavily!

A heavy force surged from the ground, colliding with the descending Blaziken!
