"Heracross, use Focus Punch into Close Combat!" The opposing Trainer said. Mega Heracross smashed a huge glowing fist into Ash-Lucario's torso before following up with a rapid barrage of thundering punches and kicks. However to the trainer's surprise, it had minimal effect on him. "Bullet Punch." Ash smirked. Ash-Lucario raised a pair of silvery metallic fists before landing a powerful haymaker on Heracross, sending the bug type flying with a scream of pain. As Heracross continued flying, Lucario used Extreme Speed to catch up and sent his opponent flying sideways with another Bullet Punch.
"No! Heracross use Giga Impact!"
"Lucario, Meteor Mash!"
Lucario covered himself in a brilliant blue steel type energy before launching himself forward with such force and speed it really put to absolute shame a Mega Metagross's Meteor Mash. Needless to say Heracross was overpowered and thrown backwards before crashing into the wall, unconscious.
The next challenger sent out a Blaziken, who immediately mega-evolved into Mega Blaziken. Thanks to its Speed Boost ability, Blaziken had landed a Blaze Kick and Dynamic Punch on Lucario...With practically no effect at all. Ash used his Aura to sense when Blaziken would appear next.
'40 degrees to your left! Now use Bone Rush!" Lucario drew a very long bone staff before whacking to his left, sending Blaziken flying. Lucario followed up, using Bone Rush to wallop Blaziken around like a tennis ball. The trainer could only watch on helplessly as his pokemon was being tossed around like a rag doll.
"Blaziken, Flamethrower!"
Lucario stood still and endured the explosive burst of flames from the fire type.
"Now, BLAST BURN!"
Mega Blaziken punched the ground, sending a tremendously massive explosion of flames erupting underneath Ash-Lucario. The blast was so powerful everyone could feel the heat from their seats. However the dust cleared to reveal Lucario standing there, completely unscathed.
"AURA BLAST!"
Ash-Lucario put his paws together before letting out a titanic, huge stream of aura energy. While nowhere as powerful as the Kamehameha he had used against Mega Rayquaza in the previous chapter, it was still much larger and stronger than the average Hyper Beam. The blast overwhelmed Mega Blaziken and knocked it out instantly.
The crowd cheered wildly, seeing yet another astounding display of power from Ash-Lucario.
Ash stood facing Lance, the Champion of the Kanto and Johto regions. Ash had defeated him a few years back and now once again they faced each other on the battlefield.
Lance threw out a Pokeball. "Go Salamence!" As his huge Salamence appeared, Lance mega evolved it to Mega Salamence. Ash smiled.
"Charizard, I choose you!" In a flash of light his Charizard appeared, letting off a deafening thunderous roar that forced everyone in the stadium to cover their ears. Alain gaped in shock at the Charizard. It was easily twice as tall as his own. Suddenly, a colossal swirling vortex of White-Blue flames surrounded Charizard, transforming his appearance. The vortex split apart, revealing Charizard much taller and muscular than before, with his skin now black with an orange underbelly. The flames went into the two sides of his cheeks and his tail, just like the side-cheek flames on Mega Charizard X. This was Ash-Charizard.
"Meet Ash-Charizard, Lance." Ash said, smiling at Lance's shocked expression. "My Charizard and I can go through the Battle Bond, and he changes to a Fire & Dragon type after this." The crowd gaped in shock at the towering monster.
Lance recovered his wits. "Salamence, Dragon Rush!"
"Charizard, use Dragon Claw!" Charizard's claws glowed as three long curved swords grew from shadowy green appendages and charged at Salamence, now covered in a huge dragon-shaped energy. The moves collided, but Charizard easily negated the dragon rush and smashed his Dragon Claw down on Salamence, sending him flying into the ground.
"No! Salamence use Incinerate!"
"Respond with Hurricane!" Charizard flapped his wings, creating massive gusts of wind that completely dissipated all the huge fireballs that Salamence sent at him. Suddenly Salamence appeared from behind Charizard.
"Now, use Outrage!" Salamence became enveloped in a red aura and began smashing its body into Charizard. However when the red aura disappeared, Charizard had taken negligible damage.
"My Charizard has a lot of endurance, Lance, far more than you could ever imagine. Now, Dragon Tail!" Charizard's tail glowed green and whacked Salamence across the face, sending it reeling backwards.
"HYPER BEAM!"
Salamence let loose a tremendously massive explosion of dark purple energy from its mouth.
"FLAMETHROWER!"
Charizard drew back his head and let loose an absolutely colossal torrent of white-hot fire from its mouth; it looked like a fiery white Hyper Beam rather than a typical Flamethrower. The ultra-sized Flamethrower completely overpowered the Hyper Beam and struck Salamence engulfing it in flames. Salamence cried out in pain, having taken serious damage and burns despite its resistance to fire.
"Now Dragon Rush for the finish!" Charizard covered itself in a titanic dragon-shaped energy and charged full speed ahead at the downed Salamence. There was a resounding BOOM as a gigantic crater was created in the midst of the field. Of course, Salamence was put cold, having reverted back to its base form.
Lance, after recalling Salamence, sent out his Garchomp and evolved it into Mega Garchomp. Garchomp hit Charizard with a full-blown Dragon Rush and Dual Chop, but like before Charizard just stood there casually as it hadn't taken any damage.
"Dragon Claw, let's go!" Ash commanded.
"Counter with Dual Chop!" Lance shouted.
The two pokemon clashed fiercely, but Charizard was clearly the stronger and uppercutted Garchomp with Dragon Claw smashing it into the ground.
"Stone Edge!" Lance shouted. A flurry of super sharp stones hurtled at Charizard, bombarding him. Charizard stood firmly and tanked the attack with little to no damage taken.
"Charizard, activate Drought!" Charizard roared, and the sunlight shone extremely harshly, forcing everyone to cover their eyes.
"Now, SOLAR BEAM!" Charizard fired off a extremely massive Solar Beam, a humongous white-green burst of light that slammed into Garchomp and sent it hurtling into the wall. The dust cleared to reveal Garchomp barely holding on, looking as though it were about to collapse.
"End with Seismic Toss!" Charizard grabbed the stunned Garchomp and swung it around in the air before hurling it into the ground at full strength, effectively knocking Garchomp out.
Lastly, Lance with a look of resignation, sent out his Dragonite and mega-evolved it into Mega Dragonite. Mega Dragonite may have been strong and experienced but after seeing how his two comrades were beaten, he looked ready to run.
Both Charizard and Dragonite used Dragon Claw, with Charizard easily overcoming Dragonite and smashed Dragonite with his claws like a sledgehammer. Charizard then rammed through the full power Thunderbolt that Dragonite sent at him like it was nothing before burning his opponent badly with Flamethrower. In desperation Lance tried to call for a Hyper Beam, but it was once again overpowered by Charizard's Overheat, the immensely huge white-hot beam of energy overshadowing the hyper beam.
"Time to end this! Charizard..." Ash paused for dramatic effect.
"BLAST BURN!"
Charizard became covered in a giant titanic wall of White-Blue flames, roaring loudly before punching the ground. Before Dragonite knew it the ground erupted underneath him in the most devastatingly, incredibly massive and powerful explosion of flames that knocked him out instantly. The crowd was amazed at the sheer power of that Blast Burn attack.
"All of Lance's Pokemon are unable to battle! Charizard wins!" Ash pumped his fist into the air as Charizard reverted from his Ash-Charizard form, roaring in victory. The crowd cheered frantically, once again for Ash's landslide victory.
A/N: Well, Lance, I think you've just met the King of Dragons: Ash-Charizard!
