Chapter 154: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [154]
Blastoise, caught in Charizard's ground-assault Fire Blast, took a hard hit.
Despite being a Water-type, the intense attack left it badly damaged.
Charizard's Fire Blasts, even though they were rapid-fire versions, were amplified by its Fire affinity, making them even stronger than a typical Charizard's attack.
Had Blastoise not been a Water-type, it might have been taken out completely. Now, it was just left with singed, blackened skin, a dazed head from the shockwaves, and some minor burns.
"Blastoise, are you alright?"
Gary called out to Blastoise, his worry evident.
"Blastoise!" Shaking its head to clear the dizziness, Blastoise locked eyes on Charizard, now descending to the ground, signaling that it was still in the fight.
After its fierce barrage, Charizard stopped its pursuit, though not by choice—it was simply out of breath.
Even with its rigorous training, Charizard needed a moment to recover, unlike a machine that could just keep going.
"Alright!" Gary breathed a sigh of relief as Blastoise responded. Looking up at Charizard, his eyes sharpened as he gave the next command:
"Charizard looks exhausted! This is our chance, Blastoise—use Skull Bash!"
