The antennae on Electivire's head flashed with electricity, and golden arcs gathered into a thunderous dragon rushing forward.
Charizard's throat surged, a hot breath spread out, and a red flame sprayed out.
Wherever the flame passed, the nearby rocks turned slightly red, indicating the high temperature of the flame.
Boom!!
The flame and Thunderbolt collided. Thunderbolt suppressed the flame, pushing it back only a little before it exploded.
Seeing the result of the skill battle, Gary knew that Charizard's special attack move was not a match for Electivire. Electivire hadn't used all its strength against the flame just now.
"Thunder Punch!" Gary ordered.
Electivire rushed towards Charizard quickly.
"Take off!"
Hearing the command, Charizard flew into the sky. Seeing this, Electivire stopped and used Thunderbolt towards the sky.
Charizard accelerated to avoid it and turned around to spit up an Energy Ball. "It's Dragon Rage."
"Don't hold back, use Thunderbolt!"
Sparks appeared all over Electivire's body. With all its strength, Thunderbolt pierced through Dragon Rage before it could resist for long.
Thunderbolt went straight up and rushed towards Charizard. Charizard immediately took off, avoiding Thunderbolt's attack.
"Continuously attack with Thunderbolt," Gary said calmly.
Although Charizard has the advantage of flying, Pokémon that rely on wings to fly consume a lot of energy, especially when dodging attacks, which requires quick stops and turns, consuming more energy. It can't hold on for long before falling to the ground.
It's like running you can jog for hours without a problem, but if you sprint, your speed will decrease in less than three minutes.
Similarly, Pokémon consume energy when releasing skills continuously, but Electivire is not afraid. Except for Legendary Pokémon, Electivire is one of the Pokémon with the most electricity in its body among Electric-types.
The electricity in Electivire's body can supply a city for a year, showing how terrifying its electricity reserves are.
Electivire continuously released Thunder Shock into the air. Charizard could only deal with it and couldn't counterattack, occasionally spitting up flames to resist the Thunder Shock attack.
Gary was not worried at all. Such consumption actually put Charizard at a disadvantage, and Ash didn't seem to know the specifics of Electivire.
"Why is there still so much power?" Ash wondered. As a breeder of Pikachu, he knew that after Pikachu released Thunder Shock more than ten times in a row, the subsequent Thunder Shock would weaken.
Yet, the Electivire in front of him released Thunderbolt more than twenty times in a row, and the power showed no sign of decreasing. On the contrary, Charizard was getting tired.
"Ash, do you still plan to continue this? If you keep going, will your Charizard still have the strength to fight back?" Gary asked.
Ash gritted his teeth and immediately ordered, "Charizard, use Fire Spin to fight back."
Hearing the command, Charizard stopped dodging and turned around to spit up a ball of fire.
The fire was like a big net, covering Thunderbolt.
The fire and lightning intertwined, and with a bang, the sky burst out a ball of haze, which obscured Charizard's figure.
The smoke did not dissipate for a long time and became thicker, covering the entire venue.
"What's going on? The smoke isn't dissipating but covering the venue instead!" the host exclaimed.
Gary looked at the smoke that gathered but did not disperse, and his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile. He saw that this was Ash's way of covering an attack.
"Charizard, use Mega Punch!" Ash ordered.
Hearing the command, Gary immediately ordered, "Ion Deluge."
In the smoke, Electivire closed its eyes, and blue static electricity kept flashing on its body. It could only sense the surrounding movement by sound because the smoke was from Charizard's attack.
The smoke used by Fire Pokémon has a certain temperature and is very dazzling. It is difficult for Pokémon covered by it to open their eyes.
Huh!!
With a muffled sound, Charizard attacked from one side and punched Electivire several meters away, but Electivire was not damaged at all. The tentacles on its head generated a lot of electricity, and its Ability was triggered. The static electricity directly blew away the smoke.
"What's going on? Electivire's Ability seems to have been triggered!" the host asked in surprise.
Because of the smoke, everyone couldn't see the situation inside. As for the Trainer's instructions, they naturally couldn't hear them. The host could only explain based on what he saw.
"Ion Deluge...!" Ash saw this move for the first time and was a little confused.
"It's time for us to fight back, use Thunder Punch."
After saying that, Ash immediately reacted and quickly ordered, "Fire Spin."
Swoosh!! Just as Charizard was gathering the flames, Electivire came quickly.
Although it was huge, it did not affect its speed at all.
It rushed to Charizard in two breaths and knocked Charizard back with a lightning punch.
"Roar!!"
Charizard also forced a vortex of flames to spit up while being knocked back.
The flames instantly surrounded Electivire, but it was torn apart by a pair of hands covered with lightning.
"Discharge!" Gary ordered.
"Roar!!"
Electivire released it to the utmost, and electric currents scattered everywhere.
Charizard had no room to dodge and was hit by an electric current.
It was painful and numb all over. "You can still discharge like this..."
Ash was also shocked.
He couldn't understand how much electricity Electivire had in its body.
Could the electricity in its body be used up?
"Use Charge!" Gary ordered.
Golden arcs of electricity burst out from Electivire's hair, turning it into a Charge state. The power of the electric skills would be doubled.
Ash knew the effect of Charge, but Charizard could not fly for the time being. Although the Discharge did not paralyze Charizard, it was impossible to fly fast. If it flew into the sky now, it would be caught by Electivire's electric skills.
"Charizard, use Fire Spin to block!" Ash ordered.
Charizard spit up a ball of fire at Electivire, and the fire turned into a flame twister and rushed towards Electivire.
"Thunder!"
Electivire's whole body radiated electricity, and a thick thunder shot out, cutting the flame vortex in half and instantly falling on Charizard.
"Roar!!!"
Charizard howled in pain after being struck by Thunder.
When the thunder and lightning subsided, white smoke was coming out of Charizard's body. Charizard held its head high, and its body fell forward unconsciously, lying on the ground, its eyes closed, and the flame on its tail was noticeably weaker.
