"My God! What is that?"
"It's way too fast! The firing speed of that Solar Beam is absurd!"
Suddenly, a spectator shouted in disbelief.
On the field, Charizard simply opened its mouth and fired the Solar Beam move instantly, without any charging time.
In the next moment, the rock that had just been thrown was pulverized by the beam, exploding into a cloud of dust.
"What firing speed... is it because of Sunny Day?"
Barry was also clearly surprised.
Although the Sunny Day move accelerated the charging of the Solar Beam move, the fact that it required no charge at all was simply too exaggerated.
"Swampert, again. Ancient Power."
After thinking for a moment, Barry gave the order again.
He believed that Charizard's Solar Beam must rely on some special trick, and that it would not be able to be used continuously.
But in the next instant, he was completely stunned.
In the sky, Charizard opened its mouth again and once more launched the Solar Beam move, a beam of light that cut through the air.
On the ground, Swampert was still gathering energy to create the rock. But before it could finish it, the Solar Beam move had already struck it, causing a violent explosion.
"What the hell is this?!"
"Instant Solar Beam and even consecutively! Not even Grass-type Pokémon can do that! How can a Fire-type Charizard do it?!"
Seeing that scene, the spectators almost went crazy.
What was happening seemed to completely defy everything they knew about types.
"Could it be that it only looks like Solar Beam but is actually a Fire-type move?"
A spectator asked in confusion.
If it were a Fire-type move, at least he could accept it.
"That is a genuine Solar Beam."
Suddenly Johnson spoke, the ranger with great mastery over Grass-type Pokémon.
Even he had a surprised expression. But there was no doubt. It was the real Solar Beam move.
His Venusaur specialized in developing the Solar Beam move, so he knew it very well. But even as a Grass-type master, even with his own Venusaur, the firing speed of the Solar Beam move was impossible to be faster than Charizard's!
"How exactly did he do it?"
"Could it be the sunlight? That's it, the sunlight!"
"At this moment, Charizard has completely absorbed the power of Sunny Day, filling its body with solar energy."
"Because of that, Charizard can directly use Solar Beam thanks to the solar energy stored inside its body, without needing to charge!"
"Exactly, it must be like that. But... how did Charizard manage to store sunlight inside its body?"
Johnson began to think deeply. If he could discover that method, Venusaur's techniques could definitely be developed much further.
"Swampert was defeated with a single strike!"
"My God! That was a Quasi-Elite level Swampert and it was still defeated with a single attack!"
"Solar Beam, there's no need to explain anything else. That was definitely a Solar Beam!"
"Only a Grass-type move with quadruple type advantage against Swampert, and also being one of the most powerful Grass-type moves, could have such power."
When they saw Swampert fallen at the bottom of the huge crater, the entire stadium erupted in commotion. The Solar Beam move displayed by Charizard was simply too powerful; it left everyone speechless.
"If it can launch Solar Beam instantly and continuously, then this Charizard would be invincible against opponents of the same level!"
The competitors of the Federal League were no longer so calm. The pressure transmitted by that Charizard was not inferior to that of Stefan's Gothitelle.
"Invincible is impossible. Look at Charizard's current condition. The reason that Solar Beam is so powerful is probably related to its Solar Power ability. But it seems that every time Charizard uses Solar Beam, the consumption of energy is also proportional."
Stefan's eyes narrowed slightly and a blue glint flashed through them, giving him a rather strange air.
"At the cost of consuming stamina?"
The players of the Federal League reflected for a moment. If that was the case, then that Charizard would be much easier to deal with.
Of course, that was assuming that was all the strength Charizard had shown.
"Swampert... was defeated just like that?"
"But it still had many abilities it didn't get the chance to use!"
Barry, unwilling to accept it, took out a Poké Ball and recalled his unconscious Swampert.
At first, when he stepped onto the field, he thought that both he and Ethan only had two Pokémon that had truly reached the Quasi-Elite level. With Swampert and Ludicolo, he believed he could fight on equal terms.
But who would have thought that one of his main Pokémon, Swampert, would be instantly defeated. That practically shattered his mental state.
Slowly sighing, Barry took out another Poké Ball and released his next Pokémon: Ludicolo.
"Pla, pla, pla!"
The moment it appeared, Ludicolo began clapping while dancing.
Accompanying its cheerful movements, dark clouds slowly began to gather in the sky.
"Is that Rain Dance?"
"As if I'd let you succeed!"
Seeing the change in the sky, Ethan let out a cold snort.
"Charrzz!"
At the same time, Charizard let out a low roar.
And right at that moment, the dark clouds that had been forming instantly dispersed.
The current sky was completely Charizard's domain; no other force could interfere.
"What a terrifying Charizard..."
Seeing this scene, the spectators could not help but sigh. With just a roar it made the clouds disappear. In terms of weather control, the two Pokémon were not on the same level.
And after his rain strategy was destroyed, Ludicolo's combat ability was greatly reduced.
Finally, in the clash between water and fire, Charizard, relying on its Sunny Day Fire state, completely suppressed Ludicolo and defeated it directly.
"The Sunny Day move... The development of this Charizard is truly perfect. With this accumulated potential, this Charizard already has the ability to aspire to the Elite level!"
After watching Charizard fight one against two and crush the opponent by alternating between moves of different types, one of the guests commented sincerely.
With his experience, it was not difficult to see that if that Charizard were given enough time, reaching the Elite level would only be a matter of time.
