“Hooo——!”
The Charizard, with its wings sprouting from its back and fire erupting from its mouth, was no stranger to viewers who had been following the show for over two months.
Not to mention, Professor Oak had used it in the very first battle at the start of the first episode.
Every time the opening theme played, it would come out and show off its presence with Bulbasaur and Blastoise.
But even so, when they saw Ash's Charizard.
Tens of millions of viewers had the same thought—
So small!
#[Cross-dressing Ash]#
#[Isn't it just my imagination? I feel like this Charizard, compared to Professor Oak's and the one in the opening theme, is a bit… petite?]#
#[This evolution speed is probably second only to Caterpie's. By the way, your Charmander joined the team before Bulbasaur and Squirtle. How come those two haven't evolved once, but you've already evolved twice?]#
#[I think what's even more unbelievable is that this evolution is a bit unreasonable. Don't forget, since Charmander evolved into Charmeleon, it hasn't won a single battle yet.]#
#[Remember what Brock said about how premature evolution can lead to a weak foundation?]#
…
The viewers were buzzing, but no matter how small the body.
Charizard, with its wings, at least had the potential to fight the Aerodactyl in the air.
Unlike the original story, where the rescue of Ash didn't arouse much interest, and the team was more focused on taking revenge on Aerodactyl, the Old Spray in Su Yihuan's remake still retained its student style from its Charmeleon days—
Willing to fight for Ash, but don't you dare give me orders.
…
This mini version of Charizard was no match for Aerodactyl, especially with a 4x type disadvantage.
But even so, it was more than enough to create an opening for the trainer below.
Gary seized the opportunity as Charizard and Aerodactyl grappled, ordering Squirtle to fire a Hydro Pump, driving the Aerodactyl back.
When Ash landed, his first priority was to have his Pokémon block the hole in the mountain wall.
Choosing to conceal the existence of these fossil Pokémon.
Don't let humans interfere with them.
"Thank you, Charizard."
After ensuring everything was secure, Ash turned his head and gave Charizard a bright smile.
"Hoo～"
Charizard pouted and transformed into red light, returning to its Poké Ball.
This scene was witnessed silently by Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Cubone, who had been helping to move stones to block the hole.
"Ash, are you okay?"
His companions arrived at this moment.
"I'm fine, thanks to Charizard for saving me."
Hearing Ash mention Charizard.
Not only Misty and Brock, his companions, but even Gary, his rival, looked a little uneasy.
Misty: "I feel like Charizard is even more disobedient than Charmeleon."
Brock: "It evolved too fast, reminds me of Brock's Raichu…"
Gary: "Now's not the time to be happy, idiot."
Ash wasn't an idiot either, hearing his friends' words, he also picked up his red and white Poké Ball, looking at the Charizard, its back turned to him, already lying on its side fast asleep, through the translucent ball cover.
After Ash and his companions left the Great Fool Valley, the Aerodactyl broke through the pile of stones that they had just blocked up.
But before the Aerodactyl could make any further moves.
A Poké Ball flew in from the side.
It easily sucked it into the ball.
Buzz～Buzz～
The Poké Ball rolling on the ground kept shaking.
It was clear that the Aerodactyl was struggling to break free from the Poké Ball's confinement.
"Don't move."
A deep, authoritative voice made the Aerodactyl inside the ball shiver.
It instantly quieted down.
A large hand bent down to pick up the Poké Ball containing the Aerodactyl, it was none other than Lance!
"Choosing to conceal the Pokémon living here? Huh, I didn't expect this kind of person still exists."
A faint smile appeared on Lance's stern face. "Unfortunately, you're still too young."
The setting sun cast its rays on Ash and Lance.
They left in different directions.
Bringing this episode to a close.
#[Pokémon Movie Bar]#
#[I was so excited when Metapod evolved into Butterfree, but this time I can't be happy at all]#
#[Charmeleon was already rebellious, what about Charizard?]#
#[Ash's Charizard is really small, standing next to a 10-year-old kid, it's only half a head taller. I doubt I'm taller than it.]#
#[Su Yihuan is 6'2" tall playing Professor Oak, his Charizard is a head taller than him. Can Ash's Charizard reach Professor Oak's neck?]#
#[Why is Lance here again? Ash's private fan, is he?]#
#[I think he might want to take Ash as his disciple, the strongest trainer wants to find a successor for himself.]#
#[You've been reading too many wuxia novels. But I think it's possible.]#
