Chapter 246: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [246] [100 PS]
Some battles are planned, others are unexpected—but a true Champion embraces them all. Consider this bonus Chapter one of those surprises.

Ash sent out Charizard.
Grass/Steel typing, four times weak to Fire.
Charizard's arrival visibly boosted Ash's confidence.
The commentators perked up immediately upon seeing the Fire-type Pokémon.
"Ash has sent out Charizard! Fire-type moves are extremely effective against Ferrothorn. With Charizard on the field, Ash has a good chance to win this match."
"In his previous battles, Ash has shown several instances of sweeping through opponents. This Charizard exudes power—it's entirely possible that Ash could use it to defeat all three of Nock's Pokémon!"
Hearing this analysis, the audience, who had initially thought the outcome of the match was a foregone conclusion, found their interest reignited.
After all, everyone loves a good underdog comeback.
But before the commentator could finish their sentence, an unexpected development occurred.
