"Molly, I didn't expect you to be so powerful!" Ash recalled Wartortle. "Thank you, Wartortle." Molly's conjured Flaaffy indeed had incredibly strong Electric power. After Wartortle was paralyzed by the current, Molly seized the opportunity to electrocute it until it lost its ability to battle.
"Of course! Big Brother Ash, your Pokémon are amazing too!" Molly also praised Ash.
"They are my most trusted partners!" Ash threw his third Poké Ball. "Molly, I am training continuously to become a Pokémon Master!" This time, Ash sent out Houndour!
"Big Brother Ash is my goal! I can defeat you now!" Another crystal Poké Ball appeared in Molly's hand. The Flaaffy that had just won vanished into thin air. This time, Molly sent out a small blue elephant: a Ground-type Phanpy, the pre-evolutionary form of Donphan, which Ash had encountered before! In terms of type, it also countered Houndour.
"You're certainly familiar with type advantages, but Molly, can you win this time?" Ash and Houndour, who had turned back, exchanged a glance. Ash nodded.
"Of course, I won't lose! Phanpy, use Rollout!" Rollout was arguably Phanpy and Donphan's signature move! Donphan even had tire-like shapes on its nose and back.
"Use Foul Play!"
The commanded Houndour charged towards the rolling Phanpy, enveloping itself in wicked purple energy! The collision happened in the next instant. The powerful Phanpy, with its sheer momentum, crashed into Houndour, and both were sent flying backward. Foul Play, a Dark-type move, uses the opponent's power to attack. It could be said that the higher Phanpy's Rollout attack, the greater the damage it would take!
"Flamethrower!"
Ash trusted Houndour. The moment it was sent flying, he issued a further command. Indeed, Houndour's crimson eyes suddenly opened. Its four paws touched the ground, and before it could fully stabilize itself, a scorching pillar of fire shot out from its mouth!
"Hmm?" Ash and Houndour's performance caught Entei's attention, who was behind Molly. It actually stood up. "Molly, let me!"
"Daddy?" Molly turned around. Entei had already approached her. "Is Daddy going to teach Big Brother Ash a lesson?" Entei nodded.
"Then Daddy, please go easy on Big Brother Ash; don't hurt him!" Molly smiled and waved her hand. Phanpy vanished into thin air. Entei entered the stage, standing in the battle arena.
"Entei!" Ash looked at Entei, who had suddenly intervened, unsure what it intended. This Entei was not simply born from the Unown sensing Molly's longing for her father; it possessed its own thoughts and consciousness. It was born to make Molly happy!
"Kid, attack!" Entei looked at Houndour and Ash.
"Bring it on!" Ash suddenly understood. This Entei was going to be his sparring partner!
"Houndour, Flamethrower!"
Houndour's crimson eyes lit up with excitement. It could feel the explosive flames contained within the large Fire-type legendary beast before it! Houndour's pillar of fire burned more fiercely and strongly than usual, an absolute extraordinary display, colliding with the fireballs Entei seemed to casually spit out.
"Roar!"
Before the flames could even explode, Entei roared, its body enveloped in flames, and charged towards Houndour. A legendary beast was a legendary beast; any single move possessed such power. Houndour was undoubtedly knocked flying.
"Houndour, Sucker Punch!"
Boom!
At this moment, the previous collision of flames finally exploded. Molly was swept off her feet by the shockwave and sat on the ground. Ash, however, had erected an Aura Power shield, standing firm as a mountain! Houndour's flung figure vanished in an instant, suddenly reappearing beside Entei, baring its fangs and biting towards Entei. However, Entei's speed was faster, and its attack came more fiercely! It turned its head and bit Houndour with a Fire Fang, sending the severely injured Houndour flying. Entei was Entei; it effortlessly dominated Houndour right from the start.
"Houndour!" Ash had no time to issue any commands. He watched helplessly as Houndour was engulfed by Entei's flames.
"Woof!"
From within the purplish-red flames, Houndour's roar suddenly changed from pain to exhilaration! Dazzling evolutionary light intertwined with the firelight.
"It evolved!"
Ash's eyes lit up. He recalled seeing many Fire-type Pokémon evolve within flames. Although he didn't know if this was good or bad for Houndour, it had already accumulated enough experience, and it was indeed time for it to evolve. Entei's purple flames were slowly absorbed by the evolving Houndoom. Its ability was Flash Fire!
"Howl!"
The flames died down, and the evolved Houndoom appeared before Ash. Its original mask was gone, but the horns on its head were like a demon's, large and curved. Its body was slender, its fur black, with bone armor covering its neck and back, and a long, inverted triangular tail dragging behind it. Every detail made it seem like a demon from hell. In the past, people feared Houndoom, believing it to be a messenger from hell. It was originally the Alpha of the Houndour pack, and its body was larger than a normal Houndour's. Now that it had evolved, its size was even more astonishing, over 1.4 meters tall.
Thump-thump!
Suddenly, Ash heard his own and Houndoom's heartbeats!
Houndoom: 244/255
After evolving, Houndoom's compatibility instantly maxed out, and its bond value was only 11 points short!
"Battle on!" Ash immediately decided to go all out against this Entei!
"Houndoom, use Sucker Punch!"
Houndoom's figure vanished again, its body covered in black Dark-type energy, fiercely slamming into Entei.
"Roar!"
Entei turned around and took Houndoom's attack head-on.
"Excellent!" Entei praised, then another fireball was thrown at close range towards Houndoom! Before evolving, Houndour couldn't withstand the legendary beast's flames, but now!
"Fight fire with fire! Fire Fang!"
Houndoom's fangs, wreathed in flames, bit towards the fireball!
Boom!
The fireball was shattered by Houndoom's bite. The explosion erupted in that instant, even blasting Entei backward. Houndoom's mouth emitted smoke, but its eyes gleamed. Its power had significantly increased!
"Big Brother Ash, so strong!" Molly, sitting on the ground in shock, looked at Ash, who always maintained a smile, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
"Still not enough! Houndoom, get stronger and stronger!"
Houndoom: 245/255
