my pokemon player.

The reason why Ryan wanted to provoke Charizard's fighting spirit was not only to vent his anger for his childhood self, but also to make up for his childhood regrets.

For some unknown reason, the trainers in this Quartz Conference that Xiaozhi participated in were generally not very strong.

The so-called rival Hiro is not even as strong as Mao.

Among the Pokémon he exposed, Butterfree was okay and defeated Ash's Squirtle.

Although Squirtle had already consumed a lot of energy before the battle, Butterfree won after all. As for the remaining two, it’s hard to describe.

Although both are Pikachu, Ahong's Ren is far inferior to Pikachu. Charizard can blow it away just by flapping its wings.

If Charizard had no interest in fighting weaker Pokémon, it would never be a match for Charizard.

After luckily defeating Charizard, this Pikachu named Ryan couldn't even beat Bulbasaur which hadn't evolved to its final form. It's not hard to see that its strength is really not that strong.

As for the remaining Charmander, needless to say, it has not even evolved to the first level.

You should know that the evolution of Charmander does not require any special conditions, it can evolve as long as the strength level is high enough.

Don’t say that Charmander deliberately did not evolve. Hiro appeared when he rescued Lugia, and at that time Charmander had already evolved into Charmeleon.

This is enough to prove that Ahong's Charmander cannot evolve because its level is not high enough.

All in all, judging from the combat effectiveness displayed by these three Pokémon, Hiro's strength is indeed not that good.

If only Team Rocket hadn't messed around and drained Ash's Pokémon's energy, or if Charizard had been willing to fight, Ash would have easily defeated Hiro.

However, despite his strength, Hiro was able to make it to the quarterfinals, and even fought his opponent to the last Pokémon in the quarterfinals.

From this we can see that the overall strength of the trainers in this Quartz Conference can be said to be the weakest.

Not to mention that compared with the Suzuran Conference with the Legendary Beast Man, this conference is not even as good as the newly established Alola League Conference.

Therefore, Xiaozhi and Xiaomao were really unlucky, and the former was affected by off-field factors.

The latter may have underestimated his opponent, or may have been unlucky to have met a trainer who was among the top three in terms of strength in advance.

As a result, one of them was in the top 16 and the other in the top 32, rankings that did not match their strengths.

Xiaomao's ending is not easy to change. His personality and the results of the draw cannot be changed easily. But Xiaozhi can!

As long as Ash's Charizard is willing to follow orders and avoids Team Rocket's interference, Ash will be able to defeat Hiro and advance to the quarterfinals!

The opponents in the quarterfinals are not that strong either, and Xiaozhi has a high probability of defeating them and advancing to the semifinals!

Even though the opponent in the semi-finals is unknown and Xiaozhi may not win, he is at least in the semi-finals, which can completely make up for Ryan's regret.

After all, if you can’t win in terms of hard power, you can accept losing, just like the divine beast man at the Lily of the Valley Conference.

No matter whether he was specially parachuted in by the animation team, and no matter whether his remaining four Pokémon are Magikarp, his strength is indeed beyond doubt.

Even though Xiaozhi lost, he still won with honor. This battle even became Xiaozhi's Lizard King's famous battle.

Anyway, in Ryan's opinion, the most regrettable ones among all the tournaments that Xiaozhi has participated in are the Quartz Tournament and the Miare Tournament.

The Miare Conference is too far away, but the Quartz Conference is just around the corner. He must "teach" Charizard well and completely defeat the opponent's arrogance and rebellion.

"I promise"

"Xiaozhi, you're here again!"

Just as Ryan was about to accept Xiaozhi's invitation to a battle, he was interrupted by Xiaoxia.

She frowned and said, "Lord Ryan still needs to rescue Celebi, don't make trouble here!"

No, it's you who should stop making trouble!

Ryan complained in his heart that although Xiaoxia had good intentions, she had disrupted his plans.

"Yeah, Xiaozhi, it won't be too late to fight him after Celebi recovers." Xiaogang also advised.

"Okay, just wait."

Although Xiaozhi is passionate about fighting, he also knows the priorities.

Just when he was about to take out the Poké Ball to take Charizard back, Charizard roared to the sky and refused to be taken back by Xiaozhi.

"Charizard, why are you disobedient again? Can't you just be patient?" Xiaozhi said with a bitter face.

Charizard shook his head vigorously and stared at Ryan and Dragonite with angry eyes.

One said it was a weakling, and the other mocked it for not having eaten. How could it endure this!
Ryan was delighted when he saw this, and said slowly:
"Since Charizard wants to fight, I will fight with it."

"But." Xiaozhi hesitated. He didn't want to delay Celebi's treatment time.

Ryan naturally understood what Xiaozhi was worried about. He smiled and comforted him:
"It's okay. It won't take long to defeat a weak Charizard."

"Uh, that's not the case. My Charizard is still very strong!"

Xiaozhi said awkwardly, and Charizard clenched his claws even more, his inner anger reaching its peak.

"We'll know whether we're strong or not after a fight."

Ryan turned to look at Xiaogang: "You just said that you are the former gym leader, right? Then I'll trouble you to be the referee."

"No problem." Xiaogang agreed immediately.

He didn't ask Ryan why he knew so much about the gym. Ryan had a Celebi who could travel through time and space by his side, and a Poké Ball on his waist, so it was normal for him to know something about the gym.

"Xiaogang, why are you adding to the trouble?" Xiaoxia asked in confusion.

Xiao Gang narrowed his eyes and answered: "Because I think this Lord Ryan has other intentions, perhaps."

He didn't finish his words and walked forward to serve as the referee for Ryan and Xiaozhi.

Xiaoxia looked at Xiaogang's back and said angrily:

"Maybe something, can't you just finish what you're saying before you leave?"

Under Xiaogang's arrangement, Ryan and Xiaozhi kept their distance and stood facing each other.

Players were also excited to see the two main game characters going to have a Pokémon battle.

"Who do you think will win?" Xu Ruofeng looked left and right excitedly.

Grain Guoba held Morubek, who had just been rescued from the capture net, in his arms and said calmly:
"Do I even need to ask? It must be Lord Ryan. Xiaozhi can't win."

Chen Yan nodded slightly: "That's right, in the face of the absolute gap in strength, the protagonist's halo doesn't play a big role, not to mention that Lord Ryan is also the protagonist of the game."

"What do you think, Old Ye?" Xu Ruofeng asked Old Ye again.

Old Ye thought for a moment and replied, "I think it's 19."

"Ninety-nine? You are still as cautious as ever. Where does Xiaozhi's one percent chance of winning come from?" Xu Ruofeng asked curiously.

Old Ye shook his head slightly: "I didn't say Xiaozhi has a chance of winning, I meant that Dragonite can defeat Charizard nine times in one minute."

Xu Ruofeng: "."
-
"The next thing to go is a Pokémon battle between Ryan and Xiaozhi. Each side uses the same Pokémon. If one side's Pokémon loses its ability to fight, the other side is deemed the winner!"

Xiaogang explained the rules loudly. The rules did not specify what Pokémon Ryan and Xiaozhi had to send out, but the Pokémon that would appear had already been determined.

"The decision is yours, Charizard!"

Xiaozhi waved his hand and shouted in a high-pitched voice.

"Roar!!"

Charizard gave Xiaozhi a rare courtesy and stepped into the arena with a roar.

Ryan smiled calmly and winked at Dragonite:
"Dragonite, go play."

"Hooo!"

Dragonite nodded in understanding. Ryan meant for it to not use its full strength, so as to avoid killing Charizard instantly.

After the two Pokémon entered the venue, Xiaogang immediately shouted:
"The battle begins!"

As soon as Xiaogang finished speaking, Xiaozhi couldn't wait to give orders:

"Charizard, use Jet Fire!" "Roar!!"

Charizard opened its mouth wide and blew a column of fire at Dragonite.

"Block it with the tail of the water stream."

Ryan ordered calmly.

Dragonite waved its tail, rolling up layers of waves, and easily put out Charizard's flames.

Seeing Dragonite easily block Charizard's attack, Xiaozhi couldn't help but widen his eyes:
"How. How is it possible!"

"What's so surprising about this? I told you that Charizard is very weak, even its attacks are weak."

Ryan continued to stimulate Charizard's emotions, and then gave Dragonite an order:
"It's my turn to fight back, Dragonite, use Super Speed!"

"Hooo!"

Dragonite flapped its wings and rushed towards Charizard at lightning speed.

"Charizard, get out of the way!" Xiaozhi shouted anxiously.

Charizard flapped its wings to try to dodge, but its speed was no match for Dragonite.

Wherever it hides, Dragonite will follow it like a shadow.

The key is that Dragonite didn't attack it, it just played with it and kept talking in its ear.

"Roar~" (on your left~)

"Roar~" (Still on the left~)

"Roar!" (Are you angry? Then go to the right this time!)
The Charizard suddenly turned its head to the right, and saw a dragon claw as big as a sandbag coming straight towards its face.

Before it could react, it was hit hard and flew away.

The Charizard rolled twice on the ground and crawled up in a panic.

It looked at the indifferent Dragonite and could no longer suppress the anger in its heart, roaring and rushing towards Dragonite.

"Charizard, I haven't given the order yet, don't act on your own!" Xiaozhi said anxiously.

However, at this time, Charizard was already blinded by anger and ignored Xiaozhi's orders.

It flew in front of Dragonite and stretched out its claws to grab Dragonite's arm.

Dragonite looked at Charizard's claws with interest. It neither dodged nor fought back. Instead, it encouraged Charizard with its eyes.

It seems to be saying: Come on, let me see what you’re really good at.

It really wanted to see the strength of Charizard, but in the eyes of Charizard, this was a naked humiliation!
"Roar!!"

Charizard roared, trying to lift Dragonite into the air to use [Earth Throw].

But no matter how hard it used, Dragonite remained motionless.

Looking at the skinny Charizard in front of him, Dragonite asked with concern:

"Hao-wu-hou-wu?" (Did you not eat? How about we play after we finish eating?)

Charizard: “!!!”

This Dragonite is actually still mocking it, it's really too much bullying!!
The angry Charizard loosened its claws and started hacking at Dragonite.

Faced with Charizard's chaotic attacks, Dragonite dodged them one by one leisurely.

The more Charizard couldn't hit Dragonite, the more anxious it became, unknowingly exposing many flaws.

If Ryan hadn't signaled Dragonite to fight for a while longer, Dragonite would have killed Charizard instantly with one blow.

Xiaozhi also knew that chaotic attacks would not have any effect, and wanted to persuade Charizard to calm down:
"Charizard, don't be impulsive, keep your distance first!"

"Hurry!!" (Don't give me orders!)
Charizard turned around and glared at Ash, then attacked Dragonite.

Ryan took in the whole scene and felt that the time was right, so he said to Charizard:
"Your trainer told you to keep your distance, but you couldn't hear him? Or do you think there was something wrong with Xiaozhi's command?"

Charizard ignored Ash, so naturally it wouldn't respond to Ryan, and still attacked Dragonite regardless.

Ryan shook his head helplessly and said with a look of regret:

"You can't even control your emotions, and you still want to be a strong person?"

"Dragonite, calm it down!"

After receiving the order, Dragonite first dodged Charizard's claws by turning sideways, and then threw Charizard to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

Charizard tried to get up, but Dragonite grabbed its head and slammed it to the ground.

"boom!"

"Wake up!"

"Boom!"

"Hooo?" (Are you awake now?)
"Bang bang bang!"

"Huowu?" (Speak up, why don't you speak?)

The Charizard was knocked dizzy and subconsciously pointed its claws at its own head.

You asked me why I didn't speak, did you give me a chance to speak?
Dragonite finally reacted and quickly released its claws, growling twice in embarrassment.

"Roar~" (Sorry, I was careless~)

Charizard stood up unsteadily, feeling both aggrieved and angry.

It looked at the Dragonite, which was in almost perfect condition, and couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

Can I really defeat this powerful opponent? Am I really a weakling?

Just as Charizard was doubting Dragon Life, Ryan spoke again:
"How about it, have you realized the difference in strength between you and Dragonite?"

"Compared to Dragonite, you are undoubtedly a weakling, just like you once thought that other Pokémon were weaklings."

"The difference is that Dragonite is truly powerful, and you just haven't encountered a truly powerful one."

"You think Xiaozhi's command level is not good enough and will only become a burden to you, but you don't know that you are the weak one."

"Just admit defeat. You are no match for Dragonite. Haven't you always disdained to fight against weak Pokémon? Because you knew you would win before the fight even started."

"The current situation is also the same, so there is no need for you to persist."

After saying that, Ryan turned his gaze towards the Charizard on the field and Satoshi who was clenching his fists across from him.

"Xiaozhi, the stage is set for you, it's time to put your mouth to good use."

As expected, Xiaozhi did not disappoint Ryan. He pulled his cap back and said excitedly:

"You must be kidding me, Charizard and I will never admit defeat!"

"Even if there is a gap in strength, even if there is no chance of winning this battle, I will never give up!"

"Because my goal is to become a Pokémon Master!"

"Before I realize this dream, no matter how many times I am knocked down, I will stand up again and fight side by side with my Pokémon!"

"Charizard, you think so too, right?"

Listening to Xiaozhi's sincere words, Charizard's eyes gradually became gentle.

It recalled the time before its evolution, and something moved it deeply.

Although it still does not recognize Xiaozhi's command ability, in this battle, it can obey Xiaozhi's command and fight alongside Xiaozhi!
So Charizard regained its spirits, and the flame on its tail burned brightly once again.

"Roar!!" (Come again!!) (End of this chapter)
